GALLIPOLIS — A second warrant was served by the Gallia Sheriff’s Ofﬁce and the Gallia-Meigs Major Crimes Task Force at a residence on Cooper Road in Gallia County this week as part of an investigation which revealed an additional $10,000 recovered in cash. “The seizure of this money is because all of our agencies worked this case relentlessly following every lead and tip,” said Gallia County Sheriff Matt Champlin. As previously reported, according to a statement released by Champlin, deputies, along with task force agents, executed the search warrant on Jan. 2 at approximately 12:45 a.m. Wj�,-(�9eef[h�HeWZ�d[Wh�=Wbb_feb_i� in northern Clay Township. According to Champlin, as law enforcement approached the front door of the residence, ofﬁcers knocked and announced they were there to serve a search warrant. While attempting to breach the door, two shots were allegedly ﬁred from inside the residence and exited near the door where ofﬁcers were attempting to gain entry. Moments later, a male allegedly pushed a window open and tossed a ﬁrearm which landed in the vicinity of other ofﬁcers at the rear of the residence. Ofﬁcers were able to make entry into the residence and detained Joseph M. Ellis, 35, and Amber N.

Jurors in Columbus awarded punitive damages Thursday in the lawsuit of Washington County resident Kenneth Vigneron Sr. The jury previously found DuPont should pay Vigneron $2 million in compensatory damages. The lawsuit is among more than 3,000 alleging a link between illnesses and the chemical C8 emitted by a DuPont plant in West Virginia. Court records show jurors determined DuPont was negligent and acted maliciously. Vigneron’s attorney argued DuPont knew C8 could cause cancer. The Wilmington, Delaware-based chemical company said Thursday it will appeal. DuPont says it believes jurors were misled about the risks of C8 exposure. �OBITUARIES/NEWS 2 Friday, January 6, 2017 Daily Sentinel BERTHA JANE FOREMAN PROFFITT OBITUARIES CAROL ANN DIDDLE POMEROY — Carol Ann Diddle, 78, of Pomeroy, Ohio, passed away on Thursday, Jan. 5, 2017, at the Ohio State University Medical Center in Columbus.

The deadline to apply is Feb. 1. Over the past two years, the Supreme Court awarded nearly $5 million for more than 200 technology projects at courts in 72 counties. “Without this initiative, many muchneeded technology improvements in courts around Ohio would not have been possible,” Chief Justice Maureen O’Connor said. “As in past years, technology grant funds will increase access to justice and remove barriers to the efﬁcient and effective administration of justice.” Any Ohio appeals, common pleas, municipal, or county court may submit one funding request for up to two separate projects. Courts located within an entity deemed to be in Fiscal Emergency or Fiscal Watch by the Ohio Auditor and those who have not received a technology grant previously will be given priority. Funding preference will be given to projects in the following order:Upgrade to the court’s existing case management system that affects caseﬂow. Upgrade, replacement, or purchase of other technology systems that affect caseﬂow or the fundamental duties of the court. Upgrade, replacement, or improvement to computer hardware or equipment that supports the case management system or other systems that affect caseﬂow or the fundamental duties of the court. All other computer hardware and software or equipment, including physical security equipment related projects. Selected applicants will be announced on March 3 via email. For more information and a link to the application, go here: http://www. supremecourt.ohio.gov/ grants/default.asp. Somber department store holiday season casts pall NEW YORK (AP) — After a disappointing holiday shopping season, the nation’s largest department stores and some of the shoppers who still depend on them are set for an unhappy new year. Macy’s, Kohl’s and other department stores are hurting as more people shop online, visit lower-priced stores or spend more of their money on smartphones and other gadgets. The future of department stores seems bleak as they close locations — and thus give shoppers less options at the mall and more reason to just stay home and shop online. “I don’t think there are any happy endings,” said Mark Cohen, a retail studies professor at New York’s Columbia Business School and a former Sears Canada CEO. Macy’s said it will close 63 of its 730 stores this year and expects to cut more than 10,000 jobs as it seeks to reduce costs. Sales at established stores fell 2.1 percent in November and December, the New York-based retailer said late Wednesday. Kohl’s also reported a 2.1 percent sales drop at established stores in the last two months of 2016. Sears, which has lost money for years amid falling revenue, said it plans to shut 150 locations, including 109 of its Kmart stores. Among those closing is Kmart’s ﬁrst store, the Detroit Free Press reported, which opened in 1962 in Garden City, Michigan. And Sears is also set to part with another part of its history: It reached a deal to sell its famous Craftsman tools brand to Stanley Black & Decker Inc., but will continue to sell its products in its stores. Sears ﬁrst took control of the Craftsman name 90 years ago. Macy’s, which has tried to woo shoppers with more exclusive products and designated areas for smartwatches and an Apple shop at its ﬂagship New York store, is also vacating the downtown Minneapolis building that was for decades the headquarters and ﬂagship store of the Dayton Co. department store chain. Tammy Curling lamented the announcement that a Macy’s in Lynchburg, Virginia, would be among those closing. She worked at that location when it was a previous department store, Thalhimers. “That’s where I met my husband,” she told the News & Advance of Lynchburg. “A lot of my life happened in there.” For department stores, though, the future looks no brighter. Macy’s and Kohl’s both said they now expect full-year earnings to be lower than they previously forecast. Many department store stocks fell sharply Thursday. Macy’s Inc. dropped 14 percent to $30.86, Kohl’s Corp. fell 19 percent to $42.01, J.C. Penney Co. fell 7 percent to $7.86 and Dillard’s Inc. fell 10 percent to $56.54. Sears Holdings Corp. shares rose 3 cents to $10.51. Besides online retailers, department store operators are also getting hurt by so-called fast-fashion stores such as H&M and Forever 21. Those stores add new clothing designs much more frequently than department stores do, Cohen said. He expects department store closures to continue. “They’re stuck with a large number of large stores ﬁlled with merchandise customers don’t want to buy anymore, unless it’s deeply discounted,” said Cohen. TODAY IN HISTORY Today is Friday, Jan. 6, the sixth day of 2017. There are 359 days left in the year. Today’s Highlight in History: On Jan. 6, 1967, U.S. Marines and South Vietnamese troops launched Operation Deckhouse Five, an offensive in the Mekong River delta. The 10-day operation reportedly claimed the lives of 21 Viet Cong ﬁghters along with seven Americans. On this date: In 1017, Cnut the Great was crowned King of England at Old St. Paul’s Cathedral in London, just over a month following the death of his predecessor, Edmund II. In 1540, England’s King Henry VIII married his fourth wife, Anne of Cleves. (The marriage lasted about six months.) In 1759, George Washington and Martha Dandridge Custis were married in New Kent County, Virginia. In 1838, Samuel Morse and Alfred Vail gave the ﬁrst successful public demonstration of their telegraph in Morristown, New Jersey. In 1912, New Mexico became the 47th state. In 1919, the 26th president of the United States, Theodore Roosevelt, died in Oyster Bay, New York, at age 60. In 1945, George Herbert Walker Bush married Barbara Pierce at the First Presbyterian Church in Rye, New York. In 1950, Britain recognized the Communist government of China. In 1974, year-round daylight saving time began in the United States on a trial basis as a fuel-saving measure in response to the OPEC oil embargo. In 1987, the U.S. Senate voted 88-4 to establish an 11-member panel to hold public hearings on the Iran-Contra affair. In 1994, ﬁgure skater Nancy Kerrigan was clubbed on the leg by an assailant at Detroit’s Cobo Arena; four men, including the ex-husband of Kerrigan’s rival, Tonya Harding, went to prison for their roles in the attack. (Harding denied knowing about plans for the attack.) In 2001, with Vice President Al Gore presiding in his capacity as president of the Senate, Congress formally certiﬁed George W.

One church I know God understands that had a humdinger of a blow up over the issue of right well. That is one reason why the Word of changing morning worship to an earlier time so God has so many point- “Our individual humanity will remain in a state of imperfection for as long as we live. Oh, most certainly, we can and should strive toward the holy standards of God. Spiritual improvement should be the goal each day our lives.” —Ron Branch speciﬁc instructions about how we should deal with and cope with each other. For example, the Scripture expects that, knowing our imperfect humanity, we should “forebear” one another. Forebear literally means “to give up your threatenings.” Evidently, in the church at Philippi were two ladies, Euodias and Syntyche, who were at heated odds with one another. When Christians get at odds with each other to the point of broken fellowship, it is a clear sign of imperfect humanity having its affect. Apostle Paul encouraged them “that they should be of the same mind in the Lord.” He called on them to give up their own agendas to embrace together the understanding that the cause of Christ is of greater concern than anything else. Furthermore, the Scripture calls on us to be “longsuffering.” W. E. Vine says, “Longsuffering is that quality of selfrestraint in the face of provocation which does not hastily retaliate or promptly punish. It is the opposite of anger, and is associated with mercy.” Forgiveness is critical as well. “Forgive one another, if any man have a quarrel against any. Even as Christ forgave you, so also do ye.” You see, when it comes to forbearing one another, when it comes to being longsuffering with one another, when it comes to forgiving one another—-the people of the church should be leading out and accurately demonstrating these Godly expectations. The people of the church tend to forget that the people of the world watch pretty close the people of the church, and all too often ﬁnd occasion to ridicule the people of the church for their lack of spiritual unity. If you will strive to be gracious toward me because I am an imperfect person, and if I will strive to be gracious toward you, then the more important matter of upholding the moral and spiritual principles of God will better serve God’s perfect plan. The Rev. Ron Branch is pastor of Faith Baptist Church in Mason, W.Va. GOD’S KIDS KORNER What did you get for Christmas? It has been more than a week since we were celebrating, opening gifts, and eating a huge Christmas dinner. What is left of the Christmas celebration? A trash bag full of used wrapping paper and empty boxes? The Christmas tree and all the decorations have been taken down and stored in the attic for another year. Christmas is over and our lives have returned to normal. It is back to work for the adults and back to school for the children. Yes, Christmas is over — at least for another year. Wait!

The new parking meter system generated $7,205 in the ﬁrst year, but were not emptied regularly in 2016 because the key went missing according to council discussion. Income for 2016 is not yet calculated. The new parking meters were noted by council to have cost initially $15,900, though it is not clear whether that number accounts for installation, enforcement, and upkeep. Council member Maureen Hennesey said “At the time Chief (Mark) Profﬁtt recommended (parking meters), part of it was difﬁculty of repair and other issues with the old meters due to age…our purpose was management and parking control, not revenue.” The discussion regarding parking meters is anticipated to resume at the next meeting.

The Badgers (13-2, 2-0 Big Ten) have been mighty impressive while winning nine straight games, with Nigel Hayes averaging 15.8 points and Ethan Happ and Bronson Koenig 14 apiece during the streak. Purdue (12-3, 1-1) plays at Ohio State on Thursday night before returning home for Sunday’s game. Before losing in overtime to Minnesota on New Year’s Day, the Boilermakers hadn’t lost at Mackey Arena in 364 days. Purdue’s Caleb Swanigan is a leading candidate for Big Ten player of the year and is coming off a 28-point, 22-rebound outing against Minnesota. LOOKING AHEAD: Michigan State, Wis- consin and Nebraska — yes, Nebraska — are the only remaining unbeaten teams in conference play. The Cornhuskers, coming off surprising road wins over Indiana and Maryland, will show if they are for real when they return home to play Iowa on Thursday and Northwestern on Sunday. Tai Webster and Glynn Watson make up one of the top backcourts in the conference, and Ed Morrow Jr. and Michael Jacobson have been tough inside. INSIDE THE NUMBERS: Minnesota’s turnaround from last season’s 8-23 record to this season’s current 13-2 can be attributed to defense. Opponents are shooting 37.7 percent from the ﬁeld and 28.7 percent from 3-point range. Reggie Lynch is ﬁfth in the country with 3.4 blocks a game, and the Gophers are swatting away an average of 6.5. All those numbers are Rio women top SIU, 83-67 By Randy Payton For Ohio Valley Publishing URG courtesy photo Rio Grande sophomore Jaida Carter scored a team-high 19 points to pace the RedStorm in Wednesday night’s 83-67 win over Salem International University at the Newt Oliver Arena. RIO GRANDE, Ohio — While it may have been a cold January night outside of the Newt Oliver Arena, you couldn’t blame the University of Rio Grande women’s basketball team for feeling as if it were enjoying the highs and lows of a summertime roller-coaster ride on the inside. The RedStorm built a 17-point second quarter lead, coughed it up and then rallied for an even bigger second half advantage in an 83-67 non-conference win over Salem (W.Va.) International University on Wednesday night. Rio Grande, which won for a fourth straight time, improved to 10-6 with the victory - its second in as many tries against the Tigers this season. SIU, an NCAA Division II school, dropped to 2-15 with the loss. Rio methodically built a 13-point cushion late in the opening stanza and appeared on its way to a blowout win after extending its advantage to 17 points, 36-19, on a bucket by freshman Kamryn Conaway (Lucasville, OH) with 7:48 left before halftime. But the Tigers roared to life by closing the half on a 23-5 run - including a stretch of 14 consecutive points - to take a 42-41 lead at the intermission. SIU also got the ﬁrst points of the second half on a pair of free throws by Keishla Gilmore just 19 seconds into the third quarter, but the RedStorm responded with a 27-2 run over the next eight minutes to grab their largest lead of the night, 68-46, following a jumper by Conaway with 1:05 left in the period. The Tigers got no closer than See RIO | 7 See PURDUE | 7 Texas Tech-Kansas highlights Big 12 weekend slate By Luke Meredith Associated Press A look at things to watch this week in the Big 12: GAME OF THE WEEKEND: Texas Tech plays at No. 3 Kansas Saturday in the Big 12’s marquee matchup. The Red Raiders, who dominated Iowa State on the road for 30 minutes before collapsing last weekend, showed the league they just might be for real in upsetting seventh-ranked West Virginia 77-76 in OT on Tuesday. The Jayhawks got lucky when Svi Mykhailiuk knocked down the game-winning layup to beat Kansas State on Tuesday despite not dribbling within the 3-point line. Expect Kansas to be raring to go Saturday — though Tech is an experienced group that might not be intimidated by Phog Allen Fieldhouse. LOOKING AHEAD: The Mountaineers will look to bounce back against TCU at home on Saturday. The Horned Frogs rallied to beat Oklahoma at home 60-57 on Tuesday. The Sooners are 6-7 heading into the weekend, just nine months after making the Final Four. They’ll play at K-State. Texas, which has struggled as much as Oklahoma, will play at Iowa State on Saturday. Baylor, ranked second in the country, will host Oklahoma State.

Lady Chiefs fend off Meigs By Paul Boggs pboggs@civitasmedia.com LOGAN, Ohio — On a cold night, this one certainly had to leave the Lady Marauders redhot hopping mad. That’s because Meigs — in a non-league girls basketball tilt on Wednesday night — saw a pair of seven-point ﬁrst-period advantages evaporate, get shut out in the second quarter, and only attempt four free throws in a 51-40 loss to the Logan Lady Chiefs inside Jim Myers Gymnasium in Logan. In maintaining a 14-11 lead after the opening quarter, the Lady Marauders did lead by seven twice — at 10-3 and 12-5. But the Lady Chiefs pitched a 6-0 shutout in the second stanza, and outscored Meigs 34-26 in the second half to turn the tide and craft the win. Logan led 17-14 at halftime and 31-24 following three quarters, then erupted for 20 fourth-period points — posting the 11-point hard-earned triumph. The loss, which was the Lady Marauders’ third consecutive, dropped them to 5-4. The Lady Chiefs climbed to 8-4, and overcame a 15-of-46 (33-percent) shooting performance — including only 19-percent (3-of-16) from three-point range — by enjoying a parade to the free-throw line. Logan attempted 22 freebies and meshed 18, while Meigs made just 2-of-4 — all by Kassidy Betzing. The Marauders were whistled for 16 fouls compared to 11 for Logan, but the Lady Chiefs also forced 19 turnovers, while committing only 10 themselves. Meigs struggled shooting from the perimeter as well, making only four of its 25 three-point attempts (16-percent). The contest turned in the ﬁnal nine minutes of the ﬁrst half — when the Marauders failed to score a single point. See CHIEFS | 7 Pressure on Minnesota athletic director after firing MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — At the end of an hours-long meeting with Minnesota President Eric Kaler and athletic director Mark Coyle, university Board of Regents Chairman Dean Johnson excused himself from the room for a drink of water and a head-clearing walk down the hall. Coyle was recommending to a group of board members and the school’s general counsel that football coach Tracy Claeys be ﬁred after the program became embroiled in a standoff over the school’s suspension of 10 players in connection with a sexual assault investigation. “With a pit in my stomach and a tear in my eye, I got up and walked down the hall for a while to think about it,” Johnson told The Associated Press on Wednesday, one day after Claeys was ﬁred . “When you hire your administration, you give them that authority. That’s what they wanted to do and that’s what the decision was.” Coyle’s decision earned praise from some at the university who saw it as a sign the administration was standing up for victims of sexual assault. It also drew criticism from players, donors and former coach Jerry Kill, still a wildly popular ﬁgure among sports backers in the area, and has put an athletic director who was hired just six months ago right in the pressure cooker as he looks for a replacement. “When you’re dealing with somebody that you like in a program that has shown some improvement, you want to say, ‘Are we sure we’re doing the right thing?’” Johnson said, referring to Claeys. “Which I did. But if you go against the people you’ve See FIRING | 7 �SPORTS Daily Sentinel Purdue From page 6 among the best in the country.

It bears watching how much playing time Bridges gets Saturday when the Spartans play Penn State in Philadelphia.

Fleck, Boise State’s Bryan Harsin and former LSU coach Les Miles have been among the many names mentioned for the job, at least one has already rebuffed the Golden Gophers. Minnesota reached out to representatives for Penn State offensive coordinator Joe Moorhead, but was told that he was not interested in the position, two people with knowledge of the situation told The Associated Press on Wednesday night. The people spoke on condition of anonymity because Minnesota was not publicly commenting on its search. Moorhead is a former head coach at Fordham who just ﬁnished his ﬁrst season as offensive coordinator at Penn State, where he helped the Nittany Lions go 11-3 and reach the Rose Bowl. Johnson called Claeys, who led the Gophers to 9-4 record in his only full season as coach, “an upstanding man, an honorable person” and said “from a human standpoint, it doesn’t feel very good.” But Coyle pushed for the move after the team threatened to boycott the Holiday Bowl when the university suspended 10 players for their alleged involvement in a case where a woman said multiple players pressured her into having sex. Hennepin County authorities twice declined to press charges citing a lack of evidence, but the school has a lower standard of proof and decided to suspend the players. Claeys publicly backed the players’ stand, putting him at odds with Kaler and Coyle. And Coyle said on Tuesday that he made the move “to ﬁnd a coach that shares that commitment to excellence academically, athletically and socially.” Johnson said Coyle cited the program’s poor performance in recruiting rankings and a dwindling season-ticket base as two primary reasons to ﬁre Claeys, though the ticket issue was also due in part to former athletic director Norwood Teague’s decision to drastically increase ticket prices for the 2016 season. Current players and alumni as notable as former All-American safety Tyrone Carter assailed the decision. And Kill, who was forced to retire in 2015 due to health reasons and handed the job to longtime assistant Claeys, told 1500 ESPN radio that he was furious with Coyle’s assertion that program was in need of “integrity and class.” “I won’t be stepping foot back in the stadium,” Kill said. “And I won’t be stepping back into the university.” Coyle said he was aware of some of the hard feelings that his decision has brought on, and he was determined to ﬁnd a new coach that can help heal the wounds that were opened. “I get they’re upset. I get they’re frustrated. I understand that,” Coyle said. “It’s our job to ﬁnd a leader who will take this program forward and unite all of them in one direction, one goal.” There was also a rally on campus on Wednesday that was initially called earlier in the week to demand the ﬁring of Claeys. But the Star Tribune reported that 75 people turned out to celebrate the decision. “Minnesotans love their college football team and they want them to win,” Johnson said. “And that’s ﬁne. But we also expect a high standard of conduct from our student-athletes and all of our students.” Johnson was asked if he left the meeting with Coyle believing that ﬁring Claeys was the right move. “More so than not,” he said. “I had questions. I had thoughts and feelings about it. If you’re asking me if it was 100 percent one way or another, the answer is no.” Friday, January 6, 2017 7 ‘92-93 Penguins admire Blue Jackets’ streak By Stephen Whyno Associated Press When Ulf Samuelsson watched the Columbus Blue Jackets pick up their 14th win in a row in Winnipeg last week, he could see the conﬁdence oozing off their bench and out of their locker room. It felt familiar. “There’s certainly something that was going on in our locker room then,” Samuelsson said. “You’ve got to have the bounces for sure, but if you’re winning that many games (you’re) not letting your guard down.” Samuelsson and the 1992-93 Pittsburgh Penguins won 17 consecutive games, an NHL record Columbus could tie Thursday during a visit to the Washington Capitals. One more win would put the 201617 Blue Jackets in the record book alongside the star-studded ‘92-93 Penguins, but the streaks aren’t close to identical — and the argument can be made that this one is already more impressive. “I think it’s a bigger feat now to do it than it was back in the ’90s just because of the parity in the league and there was no salary cap back then,” former Penguins winger Shawn McEachern said. “It was just a different era. I think this is a tougher task that they’re approaching right now.” Scotty Bowman, the Hall of Fame coach who was behind the bench for Pittsburgh during its streak, said it’s “unbelievable” what the Blue Jackets have been able to do with so many other good teams around the league, especially after losing four of their ﬁrst six games. They’re 25-23 since. Mario Lemieux had 27 goals and 51 points assists during the Pen- Paul Vernon | AP Columbus Blue Jackets forward Boone Jenner, left, forward William Karlsson, of Sweden, defenseman Seth Jones, forward Scott Hartnell and forward Brandon Saad celebrate Karlsson’s goal against the Edmonton Oilers during the second period of an NHL hockey game in Columbus, Ohio, Tuesday. The Blue Jackets won 3-1. guins’ streak, while Blue Jackets’ leading scorer Cam Atkinson has 38 points for the entire season. The Penguins averaged 5.6 goals per game and had four future Hall of Famers in Lemieux, Ron Francis, Larry Murphy and Jaromir Jagr, who is still playing. Pittsburgh got out-ofthis-world-at-the-time goaltending from Tom Barrasso, who had a 2.35 goals-against average and a .923 save percentage. Columbus is averaging four goals a game and relying even more on goalie Sergei Bobrovsky, who has a 1.64 GAA and .941 save percentage and could win another Vezina Trophy. It’s also a 30-team league now versus 24 back then, so talent is spread out and few teams could hope to stockpile stars like the Penguins did. And the sport has evolved signiﬁcantly. “The difference in number of goals scored — the live puck era or whatever you call it, small goalies, bad goalies — it’s different,” former Penguins winger Troy Loney said. “The goalscoring is so much different now, much tighter games now consistently than I think back then.” McEachern doesn’t think the ‘92-93 Penguins could even ﬁt under today’s $73 million salary cap. They were also coming off back-to-back Stanley Cups, while the Blue Jackets missed the playoffs the past two seasons and are enjoying a return to relevance under coach John Tortorella. Those Penguins and these Blue Jackets share demanding coaches and stellar goalies but little else in common. It’s also worth remembering that Pittsburgh’s streak ended with a 6-6 tie at New Jersey. Two of Columbus’ 16 wins are by shootout, which were added in 2005-06 and rid the league of tie games. “We would’ve probably done pretty good in a shootout with the guys we had,” Loney said. Many of the emotions are the same. Former winger Joe Mullen said the Penguins tried not to think about the streak just as much as the Blue Jackets are trying to avoid it now. “You just keep playing and your conﬁdence kind of builds,” said Jagr, who’s still playing as a member of the Florida Panthers. “You have a lot more fun. You just enjoy it. Conﬁdence is a big part of that streak.” Timing is also everything, and several players who have gone on double-digit winning streaks said the end can bring a lull and some unexpected losses. The Penguins’ March-April streak came almost right before the playoffs, and even though Bowman and players believe that team was better than the previous Cup winners, they lost in the second round. Loney wonders if winning 17 in a row took a toll on the Penguins. “A loss in there might not have been a bad idea at some point,” he said. “It takes a lot emotionally, physically and mentally to ride a streak like that.” AP SPORTS BRIEFS Ohio State QB Barrett confirms he’s returning next year coming back for my senior year.
