Oscar Dale Wilson, 61, of Langsville died as a result of smoke inhalation, according to Meigs County Sheriff Keith Wood. Firefighters were alerted around 6 p.m. on Thursday evening to a fire at a camper trailer approximately 1 mile from State Route 124 on State Route 325. Arriving on scene, the camper was fully engulfed. Wood stated the fire is not believed to be suspicious.Wood said that it appears the trailer was being heated with an electric heater which may have been the cause of the fire, although an official cause will be determined by the State Fire Marshal’s Office and remains under investigation. Salem Township Volunteer Fire Department, Rutland Volunteer Fire Department, Meigs County Sheriff’s Office, Meigs EMS, Meigs County Coroner’s Office and Columbia Township VFD Squad were all on the scene Thursday evening.

Nellis creates Ohio Honors Task Force ATHENS — A University-wide Ohio University Honors Program is one step closer to becoming a reality. Friday, Ohio University President M. Duane Nellis addressed his newly created Ohio Honors Task Force for the first time during its Kick-Off Meeting. The task force will be led by Interim Dean of the Honors Tutorial College, Cary Roberts Frith, and is comprised of various faculty and administrators at Ohio University. The task force was created with the strong endorsement of the university community because President By Eric Talmadge LOOMIS-COLLINS GALLIPOLIS FERRY, W.Va. — Frances Marie Loomis-Collins, 81, of Gallipolis Ferry, W.Va., died Thursday, February 8, 2018, at Holzer Medical Center in Gallipolis. A funeral service was 1 p.m. Saturday, February 10, 2018, at Wilcoxen Funeral Home in Point Pleasant, W.Va., with Rev. Jack McCoy officiating. Burial followed at Kirkland Memorial Gardens in Point Pleasant. PYEONGCHANG, South Korea — North Korean leader Kim Jong Un’s younger sister took her place among dignitaries from around the world, including U.S. Vice President Mike Pence, at the opening ceremony of the Pyeongchang Winter Olympics on Friday in an unprecedented visit to South Korea. The trip by Kim Yo Jong is the latest move in an extraordinary show of Olympic diplomacy with Seoul that could prove to be a major challenge to the Trump administration’s hard-line Korea policies. As the opening ceremony began, she and South Korean President Moon Jae-in exchanged a historic handshake and spoke briefly. They smiled broadly, though it was not immediately known what they said. She and Kim Yong Nam, the North’s 90-year-old nominal head of state, were seated behind Moon and his wife, while Pence Associated Press GREENE LETART, W.Va. — Ralph Basil Greene, 90, of Letart, W.Va. died February 8, 2018 at his home following a brief illness.

Funeral services will be held at Deal Funeral Home in Point Pleasant, W.Va., Tuesday, February 13, 2018, at 1 p.m. Burial will follow in the Patterson-Clonch Cemetery in Gallipolis Ferry. Friends may visit the family at the funeral home on Tuesday, from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. prior to the service. Nellis felt Ohio needed a sustainable, robust and expanded Universitywide honors program. Dr. Nellis stressed to the group that its purpose is not to replace the tutorial-based program in the Honors Tutorial College, which is ranked among the nation’s best, but instead to develop a complementary experience-based program that integrates curricular and co-curricular opportunities for students in all majors, as well as undecided students. “Please know that the work you have agreed to do is central to the success of our strategic pathways and priorities and I value each and every one of you whose passion for academic excellence called you to this cause,” President Nellis communicated to the group. “It is my intent that the Ohio Honors Program will strengthen a Universitywide academic culture that celebrates interdisciplinary and experiential learning in its wide range of forms. This must be part of today’s Ohio University experience.” The task force will enable faculty members from all colleges to engage in honors curriculum development. Interim Dean Frith said, “The expanded program will offer faculty new opportunities for intellectual exchange and curricular innovation.” President Nellis said, “Teaching in Texas Tech’s Honor’s College was a source of energy and inspiration for me. I look forward to inviting more of our faculty to experience the deep rewards of involvement in an honors program.” The creation of this task force fulfills the first step in one of the strategic pathways and priorities that President Nellis outlined in his inaugural address. At Olympics, Kim Jong Un’s sister takes VIP seat DEATH NOTICES GIBBS NEW HAVEN, W.Va. — Ila Wilma (Layne) Gibbs, 96, of New Haven, W.Va., died February 7, 2018, in The Village at Riverview, Barboursville, W.Va. Private family interment will be in Graham Baptist Church Cemetery, New Haven. Arrangements provided by Foglesong Funeral Home, Mason, W.Va. Sunday Times-Sentinel and his wife were seated beside the Moons and Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe. At the age of 30, Kim Yo Jong is quite possibly the most powerful woman in North Korea. Just a few years younger than her brother, she is believed to be his closest confidant and is a senior cadre in North Korea’s ruling party. Her arrival on Kim Jong Un’s private jet with a coterie of 22 officials was broadcast live on South Korean television. Looking confident and relaxed, she had a brief meeting at the airport with South Korean officials, including Unification Minister Cho Myoung-gyon, before being whisked away in a black limousine and catching the high-speed train to the mountains of Pyeongchang. As a sign of her status, the elder Kim Yong Nam offered her the seat of honor at the airport meeting, but she politely declined. The trip comes amid a flurry of activity following Kim Jong Un’s surprise proposal on New Year’s Day to send Patrick Semansky | pool Vice President Mike Pence, second from bottom right, sits between second lady Karen Pence, third from bottom left, and Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe at the opening ceremony of the 2018 Winter Olympics in Pyeongchang, South Korea, on Friday. Seated behind Pence are Kim Yong Nam, third from top right, president of the Presidium of North Korean Parliament, and Kim Yo Jong, second from top right, sister of North Korean leader Kim Jong Un. a delegation of athletes, officials, entertainers and cheering groups to the Olympics. His decision to dispatch his sister to the games is all the more significant since Kim Jong Un himself hasn’t set foot outside North Korea or met a single head of state since he assumed power upon the death of their father, Kim Jong Il, in late 2011. His singleminded pursuit of a nuclear arsenal to counter what he sees as the threat of invasion by the United States has ratcheted up tensions not only with his rivals but also with primary trading partner China and with Russia, once a key benefactor. The North’s Olympic “detente” is a striking shift in tactics. This is the first time a member of the Kim dynasty has traveled to South Korea, though their grandfather, Kim Il Sung, went to areas occupied by his troops south of what is now the Demilitarized Zone during the 1950-53 Korean War. Kim Yo Jong has been rapidly rising within the North’s power structure and is believed to be in charge of shaping her brother’s public persona. But she has generally remained safely cloaked in her brother’s shadow. This is her first high-profile international appearance at center stage, though she is technically just a member of a delegation headed by Kim Yong Nam. Equifax hack put more info at risk than consumers knew By Sarah Skidmore Sell AP Personal Finance Writer The Equifax data breach exposed more of consumers’ personal information than the company first disclosed last year, according to documents given to lawmakers. The credit reporting company announced in September that the personal information of 145.5 million consumers had been compromised in a data breach. It originally said that the information accessed included names, Social Security numbers, birth dates, addresses and — in some cases — driver’s license numbers and credit card numbers. It also said some consum- ers’ credit card numbers were among the information exposed, as well as the personal information from thousands of dispute documents. However, Atlantabased Equifax Inc. recently disclosed in a document submitted to the Senate Banking Committee, that a forensic investigation found criminals accessed other information from company records.

Finer details, such as the expiration dates for credit cards or issuing states for driver’s licenses, were also included in the list. The additional insight into the massive breach was first reported by the Wall Street Journal. Equifax’s disclosure, which it has not made directly to consumers, underscores the depth of detail the company keeps on individuals that it may have put at risk. And it adds to the string of missteps the company has made in recovering from the security debacle. Equifax spokeswoman Meredith Griffanti said that “in no way did we intend to mislead consumers.” The company last year disclosed only the information that affected the greatest number of consumers and wanted to “act with the greatest clarity” in terms of the information provided the committee, she said. �LOCAL Sunday Times-Sentinel Sunday, February 11, 2018 3A MEIGS HEALTH MATTERS GALLIA, MEIGS BRIEFS Preventing sexually transmitted diseases Immunization Clinic Any time of year is a good time to think about STD (Sexually Transmitted Disease) Prevention. STD’s are passed from one person to another through intimate physical contact, such as heavy petting, and from sexual activity including vaginal, oral, and anal sex. STDs are very common. In fact, the CDC estimates 20 million new infections occur every year in the United States. STDs can mostly be prevented by not having sex. STDs do not always cause symptoms, so it is possible to have an infection and not know it. That is why it is important to get tested if you are having sex. If you are diagnosed with an STD, know that all can be treated with medicine and some can be cured entirely. The most common sexually transmitted disease in Meigs County is Chlamydia with Gonorrhea following closely behind. These diseases are only two of a long list of commonly spread diseases of which are sexually trans- of older women at mitted.

Zostavax (shingles); pneumonia and influenza vaccines are also commonly asymptomatic or might not produce recognizable symptoms until complications such as PID have occurred. PID can result in tubal scarring that can lead to infertility and ectopic pregnancy. These two STD’s we have discussed here are just two of dozens of STD’s that can be prevented from being transmitted by simply using condoms. Just a few of the others are HIV, Syphilis, Trichomoniasis, Genital Herpes, and others. If you do have sex, you can lower your risk by using condoms and being in a sexual relationship with a partner who does not have an STD.

Kiser’s son, Webb, has been seeing Parker, a pediatric endocrinologist, for a few years now to keep an eye on some growth issues. On one visit last year, Parker was talking to Webb and his mom about growth trajectory when he stopped midsentence. “Come with me,” he said, standing up. If this seems a bit unusual, well, Peter yes. As most any physician will St. Onge tell you, doctors don’t have much Contributing time for digressions these days. columnist The health economy is demanding. Patient loads are heavy. Doctor’s offices feel more like drive-thrus, with little time for warmth. But not Dr. Parker’s office. “Mark is the kind of doctor that’s rare these days,” says Kiser. Parker, she says, spends a generous amount of time with his patients. He gets to know them and their interests, and he knows a lot about seemingly everything. If your kid loves Harry Potter, Parker will ask him obscure questions about the series. Same goes for sports, from football to gymnastics. “He’ll know something about it,” Kiser marvels. On that visit last year, however, the doctor wanted Webb to learn something, so he took the Kisers down the hall to his office. There stood a 5-foot cardboard cutout of Muggsy Bogues, the former Charlotte Hornet. Parker told Webb the full story of Bogues, who was the shortest player ever in the NBA at 5-foot-3, and who did far more than anyone expected. “Muggsy was one of his heroes,” Kiser says. The sports lesson did its job. Webb went home and looked up some YouTube videos of Bogues. He also talked to his dad, a Charlotte native who has long thought Muggsy was The Man. All of which Elizabeth Kiser remembered a few months later when Parker let her know he was retiring this March after 40 years in medicine. Kiser wanted to do something special for Parker, something more than a food treat he would give to his staff, anyway. Then she remembered this from last year’s visit: “I asked if he had ever met Muggsy, and he laughed and said that he has seen him at big charity luncheons but, no, had never really met him. I said, ‘So you have been using this guy as inspiration for your patients spanning decades and you have never talked to him? Nope.” So on Wednesday morning, Mark Parker walked into Exam Room 6 to see his next patient. Among those waiting for him were Elizabeth Kiser with her son, Webb, and Muggsy Bogues. “Ohhh my goodness,” Parker said. He shook hands with Bogues, then hugged him, then said “Oh my goodness” again. Then he said: “It’s such an honor” and he took off his glasses to wipe a tear. Kiser snapped photos. She had found Bogues through a friend of a friend and asked him if he could send a signed picture to Dr. Parker. Muggsy decided he could do better than that. Now he and Parker sat with Webb and talked about basketball and patients and inspiration. Bogues walked over to sign the cutout of himself, the one that Parker had been showing young patients since Muggsy’s first year on the Hornets. “God bless you, my man,” he told Parker. Kiser nodded. A gift. A thank you. Something more than expected, for someone who knows just how much that means. This column originally written for The Charlotte Observer. THEIR VIEW Lincoln’s greatness assured We live in a time where the conclusions of experts, recognized scholars in different fields of study, are disparaged because some individuals with Internet access don’t agree with them. The expert’s informed writings are merely their opinion and are not fact. Never mind that the expert’s viewpoint came about from years of research and familiarity with the topic at hand, subscribe to my theory; it’s better and closer to the truth because I say it is. When it comes to the greatest of America’s past presidents, disagreement runs as rampant as it does about music, cell phones and cars. However, despite questions about certain aspects of his administration, there is consensus that among the greats is the 16th chief executive, Abraham Lincoln, whose birthday will be observed Feb. 12. And why? Because the times in which he served in the White House were among the most challenging ever faced by a country not quite a century old. Indeed, the battle for survival of the United States as a whole consumed Lincoln’s tenure until his second term was cut short by assassination a month after he had again took the oath of office. The comparisons history has drawn between Lincoln and the first president, George Wash- bumpkin and aboington, are forged litionist puppet in the momentous whose election to events of their office would force day.

Grant, drew more voters to Lincoln’s side. Had the assassin’s bullet not brought his life to an end almost a week after the Civil War’s conclusion, Lincoln would have turned his energies toward rebuilding a conflict-shattered South, despite cries from within his party to severely punish the “rebels.” Even the vanquished had come to realize their greater hope rested with the man who led the cause they hated. D.W. Griffith, in his mammoth if controversial example of early American filmmaking, “The Birth of a Nation” from 1915, recognized this sentiment when hero Ben Cameron, a former Confederate officer, laments to his family that “we have lost our best friend.” Had there been no war and all of the events that See LINCOLN | 7A THEIR VIEW Dextromethorphan abuse on the rise locally This immediate warning is for all parents, grandparents, aunts/ uncles, schools, service providers, employers, all businesses that sell cold medicine, and anyone that cares or deals with youth or young adults.

The university, which is based in Kent but has regional campuses elsewhere in the state, said it had responded to attorney Kyle Bristow reaffirming its earlier response that no suitable space is available for Spencer to speak between April 30 and May 12. Bristow had told Kent State it had until the end of business Friday to agree to rent space at an “acceptable date and time” or face a lawsuit.

Tour organizer Cameron Padgett wanted Spen- cer to speak at Kent State on the May 4 anniversary of Ohio National Guard shootings that killed four students during anti-war protests in 1970. The university said early May is too busy with activities around the end of the academic year. Bristow said last year that Spencer planned to speak March 14 on the University of Cincinnati campus, but the university said there was no contract in place, and the two sides are now in a legal standoff over the university’s demand for a security fee of nearly $11,000. Bristow sued the university last month, saying requiring such payment because a speaker is controversial or prompts hostile reaction is discriminatory and unconstitutional. The university said it expected to spend much more on security than the fee. The March date falls during the univer- sity’s spring break. The university on Feb. 2 asked a federal judge to dismiss the lawsuit as meritless, saying the organizer hadn’t paid the fee or obtained required insurance. Last August, Spencer was a scheduled speaker at a Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville, Virginia, that led to deadly violence. A loosely connected mix of white nationalists, neoNazis and other far-right extremists assembled for the largest gathering of its kind in a decade, drawing counter-protesters. A man plowed his car into a crowd of the counter-protesters, killing Heather Heyer. Spencer has popularized the term “alt-right” to refer to a fringe movement that’s a mix of white nationalist, white supremacist, anti-Semitic and anti-immigrant beliefs.

A government report out Friday shows 1 of every 13 visits to the doctor last week was for fever, cough and other symptoms of the flu. That ties the highest level seen in the U.S. during swine flu in 2009. And it surpasses every winter flu season since 2003, when the government changed the way it measures flu. “I wish that there were better news this week, but almost everything we’re looking at is bad news,” said Dr. Anne Schuchat, acting director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Flu season usually takes off in late December and peaks around February. This season started early and was widespread in many states by December. Early last month, it hit what seemed like peak levels — but then continued to surge. The season has been driven by a nasty type of flu that tends to put more people in the hospital and cause more deaths than other more common flu bugs. Still, its long-lasting intensity has surprised experts, who are still sorting out why it’s been so bad. One possibility is that the vaccine is doing an unusually poor job; U.S. data on effectiveness is expected next week. Some doctors say this is David Goldman | AP Henry Beverly, 73, battles the flu while tended to by nurse Kathleen Burks at Upson Regional Medical Center in Thomaston, Ga., on Friday. The flu has further tightened its grip on the U.S. This season is now as bad as the swine flu epidemic nine years ago. A government report out Friday shows 1 of every 13 visits to the doctor last week was for fever, cough and other symptoms of the flu. That ties the highest level seen in the U.S. during swine flu in 2009. the worst flu season they’ve seen in decades. Some patients are saying that, too. Veda Albertson, a 70-yearold retiree in Tampa, was sick for three weeks with high fever and fluid in her lungs. She said she hadn’t been this sick from the flu since the 1960s, when she was a young mother who couldn’t get out of bed to go to the crib of her crying baby. “It was like ‘Wham!’ It was bad. It was awful,” she said of the illness that hit her on Christmas Day. Heather Jossi, a 40-yearold Denver police officer and avid runner, said her illness last month was the worst flu she’s experienced. “I don’t remember aches this bad. Not for four days,” said Jossi. “It took me out.” Albertson said she got a flu shot, Jossi did not. Last week, 43 states had high patient traffic for the flu, up from 42, the CDC reported. Flu remained widespread in every state except Hawaii and Oregon and hospitalizations continued to TODAY 8 AM 2 PM climb. “It’s beginning to feel like a marathon,” said Dr. Anthony Marchetti, emergency department medical director at Upson Regional Medical Center, a 115-bed hospital in rural Georgia. A quarter of the hospital’s emergency department visits are patients with flu, and the hospital has added nursing staff and placed beds in halls to accommodate the increase, he said. “It just means we have to keep on keeping on. We’re getting used to it,” Marchetti said. So far, it has not been a remarkably bad year for flu deaths. Flu and flu-related pneumonia deaths have lagged a little behind some recent bad seasons. The CDC counts flu deaths in children and there have been 63 so far. They have gone as high as about 170 in a season. Overall, there are estimated to be as many as 56,000 deaths linked to the flu during a bad year.

Supporters have a “planning breakfast” scheduled Tuesday near the state Capitol. Mickelson said changes could include requiring victims to opt into their rights, explicitly allowing authorities to share information with the public to help solve crimes and limiting officials’ notification obligations to a victim or a representative. Minnehaha County Sheriff Mike Milstead has said his office depends on the eyes and ears of the public to help the Sioux Falls-based department solve cases, but the amendment has limited the information they can provide. Mickelson has said he and others are trying to fix unintended consequences from Marsy’s Law that have degraded victims’ rights. Krista Heeren-Graber, executive director of the South Dakota Network Against Family Violence and Sexual Assault, said she likes some parts of Marsy’s Law and struggles with others. She said the group wants to make sure victims have rights and receive them. Pennington County State’s Attorney Mark Vargo said he had to add four victims’ advocates after the amendment passed to make sure the office could stay in compliance. He said employees now spend a lot of time communicating with people about “fairly low-level” cases. There’s a tradeoff, he said. “We are putting time and effort into letting people know about petty thefts and criminal trespasses, and that diminishes the amount of time and resources that we have available to deal with people on what we consider to be much more serious cases,” Vargo said. “Every time you insist that we treat petty thefts like a rape, rape victims are going to suffer.” 46° 29° Cloudy; rain and sleet at night NATIONAL CITIES Logan 44/23 McArthur 46/24 South Shore Greenup 56/30 49/26 53 0 50 100 150 200 Chillicothe 43/24 WEDNESDAY 50° 45° Cooler with partial sunshine From page 5A children and young adults — have caused growing fear and concern, health officials acknowledge. On Friday, Delisah Revell brought her 10-month-old daughter to the Upson Regional emergency room. “I heard how bad it is and I didn’t want to take any chances,” said Revell, who drove 30 minutes to get to the hospital in Thomaston. The CDC said the amount of suspected flu cases at doctor’s offices and hospital emergency rooms last week matched that seen in 2009, when a new swine flu pandemic swept the world. Swine flu, also called pandemic H1N1, was a new strain that hadn’t been seen before. It first hit that spring, at the tail end of the winter season, but doctor visits hit their height in late October during a second wave. This flu season, hospitalization rates have surpassed the nasty season of the winter of 2014-2015, when the vaccine was a poor match to the main bug. Health officials have said this year’s vaccine targets the flu viruses that are currently making people sick, including the swine flu virus that has become a regular winter threat. However, preliminary studies out of Australia and Canada have found the shot was only 10 to 20 percent effective in those countries against the H3N2 strain that’s causing the most suffering this winter. Doctors say they’re a bit bewildered as to why this season is so intense. “It is surprising,” said Dr. James Steinberg, chief medical officer at Emory University Hospital Midtown in Atlanta. “It’s not a hugely new strain. So why is it so severe? I don’t think we know.” EXTENDED FORECAST 8 PM Law Clendenin 61/32 Charleston 60/33 Shown are noon positions of weather systems and precipitation.

Scott Jones|OVP Sports BIDWELL, Ohio — An early scoring drought made for a long night for the Raiders. The River Valley boys basketball team held the lead against visiting Athens for 17 seconds of Friday night’s Tri-Valley Conference Ohio contest, as the Raiders were defeated 67-46 in Gallia County. RVHS (5-14, 3-8 TVC Ohio) led 5-4 with four minutes remaining in the first quarter, but the Bulldogs (10-9, 8-3) utilized a 19-9 run to take a 23-14 advantage into the second frame. AHS furthered its lead to 34-14 by the 5:41 mark of the second period, as the Silver and Black were held scoreless over a span of 4:16. The Raiders made three field goals in the second quarter, as the Bulldogs held a 45-23 lead at intermission. Over the course of the first half, River Valley converted on 8-of-23 shots from the field for 34 percent, including 5-of-11 from beyond the arc for 45 percent. Athens connected on 16-of-35 of its field goals for 45 percent, including 6-of-13 from three-point range for 46 percent. AHS outrebounded RVHS 16-14 through two quarters of play. The Raiders committed 10 turnovers to just six by the visitors. Both teams played evenly in the third period, but Athens extended the deficit to 24 points by way of a 14-13 run. Despite a 6-of-18 shooting performance from the field by the Bulldogs, the Raiders struggled over the See BULLDOGS | 3B Blue Devils outlast Portsmouth in 2OT, 71-68 By Bryan Walters bwalters@aimmediamidwest.com PORTSMOUTH, Ohio — In a game full of runs, the Blue Devils made their final one count. The Gallia Academy boys basketball team used a 22-17 fourth quarter surge to force overtime, then outscored host Portsmouth by an 11-8 count in eight extra minutes of play Friday night while claiming a 71-68 double overtime victory in an Ohio Valley Conference contest in Scioto County. The visiting Blue Devils (16-3, 10-3 OVC) matched last year’s win total and also claimed a season sweep of the Trojans (11-7, 7-6) for a second consecutive regular season. GAHS previously posted a 76-50 decision in Centenary back on Jan. 27. The Blue and White survived a long-range assault as PHS made 15 of its 19 total field goals from outside of the arc, with 10 of those coming through the middle frames as the Red and Blue built a 43-38 edge headed into the finale. The Blue Devils, however, answered by hitting four of their seven trifectas down the stretch, plus went 3-of-4 at the free throw line as part of that five-point swing at the end of regulation — which tied things up at 60-all. Both teams tallied five points apiece in a tightlycontested first overtime session, but Gallia Academy got baskets from Evan Wiseman and Zach Loveday while building a 69-68 cushion with just seconds left in the second OT. Justin McClelland sank a pair of free throws to extend the lead out to three, and the Trojans ultimately came up short on a game-tying attempt — allowing the guests to sneak away with the triumph. GAHS received eight points from Loveday as part of a 14-9 first quarter run, but Matthew Fraulini answered with four three-pointers as part of a 20-10 surge that gave Portsmouth a 29-24 cushion at the break. D.J. Eley had 11 points for PHS and Loveday tacked on seven points for the Blue Devils during a 14-all third quarter, making it a five-point contest entering the fourth.

Southern sweeps Eagles, 54-44 By Alex Hawley ahawley@aimmediamidwest.com RACINE, Ohio — The Tornadoes are kings of Meigs County. The Southern boys basketball team improved to 3-0 against in-county opponents this season, as they defeated Tri-Valley Conference Hocking Division guest Eastern by a 54-44 final tally on Friday night. The Tornadoes (13-5, 10-3 TVC Hocking) — who’ve now won seven straight games — never trailed in the opening quarter, leading by as many as six points before the Eagles (7-11, 3-10) cut the margin back to three, at 10-7, by the end of the stanza. Southern outscored its guest by a 6-to-5 clip in the opening three minutes of the second quarter, but Eastern scored six straight points and led for the first and only time in the game, at 17-16, with 1:39 left in the first half. However, SHS ended the half with 7-to-2 run and a 23-19 advantage. SHS scored the first four points of the second half, but had its lead trimmed back to four points, at 31-27, with 3:20 left in the third period. However, sparked by a technical foul against EHS head coach Jeremy Hill, Southern scored six unanswered points to end the third with a 37-27 Eastern junior Sharp Facemyer (10) shoots a two-pointer in traffic, during the Eagles’ 10-point loss to Southern on Friday in Racine, Ohio. lead. The Tornado advantage grew as high as 12 and never sank below eight in the fourth quarter, as Southern sealed the 54-44 victory. “It was an intense game, I thought both teams were playing really hard defensively and going after rebounds,” said Southern head coach Jeff Caldwell. “We knew Eastern would come in here and give us all we wanted and more, and they did that, credit to them. I’m proud of our kids for hanging in there.” Both teams grabbed 18 defensive rebounds, with the Eagles picking up a 9-to-3 advantage in offensive boards. EHS and SHS both committed 22 turnovers, with the guests holding a 15-to-12 edge in steals. The Tornadoes claimed advantages of 13-to-11 in assists and 5-to-3 in blocked shots. “Hats’ off to Southern, Coach Caldwell had them well-prepared,” Coach Hill said. “I think they knew us better than we knew ourselves. Our kids played real hard and if their coach would have preformed like they did, it might have been a different outcome. “Ultimately, in a game like tonight, we ask our kids to always keep their composure. Their coach lost his composure and probably cost them a basketball game. I know it changed the reflection of it a little bit. We always ask the kids to hold each other and hold themselves accountable, and now they’re going to have to hold their coach accountable. I should not have done that.” Both teams made 18 field goals in the contest, Southern in 37 tries for 48.6 percent, and Eastern in 50 tries for 36 percent. Both teams tried nine three-pointers, with SHS making one for 11.1 percent and EHS making two for 22.2 percent. The biggest discrepancy in the game came at the foul line, where the Tornadoes were 17-of-26 (65.4 percent) and the Eagles were 6-of-11 (54.5 percent). “The main thing is, we’re doing a good job of understanding situations,” Coach Caldwell said. “I thought we forced things at times in the first half and we did it a little in the second half, but overall we’re understanding that we can work our offense and be patient when we need to be. “Tonight, I thought that both teams played a really good game defensively. They’re kind of like us with only one senior See SOUTHERN | 2B �SPORTS 2B Sunday, February 11, 2018 Sunday Times-Sentinel Lady Panthers sweep Gallia Academy, 57-35 By Bryan Walters as part of a 15-9 second quarter run that allowed CHS to establish a 31-20 cushion at the break.

On one hand, he will want to show exactly how exciting and incredible he is, but on the other, he will have trouble communicating how he feels.

His mission is not to irritate everyone around him, but to set them free of their prejudice and superficial rules of behavior. It is not easy to understand him, because he doesn’t use the usual forms of communication to show his inner Self. Most of the time he will simply hold on to the strengths of his mind and have a distant, dignified attitude that leaves no room for closeness. AQUARIUS WOMAN IN LOVE When an Aquarius woman falls in love, she will follow her feelings for as long as she is unrestricted and free to be herself. The unconscious fear of losing her personality to other people often makes her vulnerable to any sort of expectations and tries to turn her into something she is not. Still, in almost every Aquarius woman’s life comes a time to “grow up” and realize that a certain amount of love should be enough for her to have a family, raise children and take care of her husband. UNDERSTANDING YOUR AQUARIUS WOMAN The sign of Aquarius represents an opposition and it is not easy for this woman to settle the conflict she carries within, that always tells her respect needs to be earned. She might never realize that respect is her given right and that she doesn’t need to fight for it all the time. Her biggest challenge is in finding inner, emotional peace, and when she gets hurt too many times, she easily closes her heart and moves on with her life from a strictly rational point.
