As the 2020 U.S. Census approaches, community leaders are working to ensure that everyone in Meigs County is counted. To ensure high response rates, local leaders have formed the Meigs County 2020 Census Complete Count Committee. The group’s efforts will focus on highlighting the importance of census participation and offering the necessary resources to residents. Meigs County Department of Job and Family Services Director Chris Shank was selected to serve as committee chair in Meigs County. Leaders from numerous county agencies, schools, businesses and other entities have joined the committee, helping to spread the message regarding the importance of the 2020 Census. Currently, committee members are working to spread the word on the importance of participation in the Census. The census is required by the U.S. Constitution to determine the number of seats each state gets in the House of Representatives. It also provides data for redrawing legislative districts. Responding is important because state, local and federal lawmakers use statistics from the decennial census to help them determine how more than $675 billion in federal funds will be spent every year for the next 10 years. From infrastructure improve- ments to school funding, census data is widely used by multiple branches of both the state and federal government to set allocation amounts. Development of new policy and research also depends on the large data set, and when census tracts return lower percentages of respondents, accuracy can be a concern. Funds inﬂuenced by census statistics are used for critical infrastructure and public services such as roads and bridges, hospitals and health care clinics, emergency response, and schools and education. In March 2020, residents who receive mail at their physical addresses will receive an invitation to complete questionnaire about anyone who lives at the address on April 1, 2020 (Census Day). For the ﬁrst time, everyone can respond to the 2020 Census online, by phone or by mail. Invitations will be sent out by the U.S. Census Bureau the week of March 12 and at that time online and phone response will begin. Self See CENSUS | 3 Officials sworn in EMA offers rebates to homeowners for tornado safe rooms Application period runs through April 6 Staff Report COLUMBUS — Homeowners throughout Ohio now have the opportunity to apply to receive reimbursement for the purchase and construction/ installation of a tornado safe room inside or outside their homes. The Ohio Emergency Management Agency began accepting applications for its Ohio Safe Room Rebate Program earlier this week. A safe room is a structure speciﬁcally designed to provide near-absolute protection in extreme weather events. The Ohio EMA’s rebate program provides a rebate of up to 75 percent to homeowners selected for the program. “The entire state of Ohio is vulnerable to tornadoes,” said Governor Mike DeWine. “Safe rooms are costly, but they can save lives — which is why we want to help homeowners with the expense.” In May, more than 900 homes and buildings were destroyed or signiﬁcantly damaged when 21 tornadoes tore through Auglaize, Darke, Greene, Hocking, Mercer, Miami, Montgomery, Muskingum, Perry, and Pickaway counties. “Safe rooms offer protection to a tornado’s strong winds and resulting airborne debris and provides near-absolute protection for occupants,” said Steve Ferryman, Ohio EMA mitigation branch chief. “We urge Ohioans to apply for these grants.” This is the eighth year for the Ohio Safe Room Rebate Program. To date, more than $1.5 million in rebates have been awarded to homeowners for the construction of more than 200 safe rooms across the state. Safe rooms can be constructed/installed in one of several places in the home, including in the basement; beneath a concrete slab-on-grade foundation or garage ﬂoor; or in an interior room on the ﬁrst ﬂoor. A safe room may also be buried in the yard or be a stand-alone structure near the home. The deadline to apply to participate in the Ohio Safe Room Rebate Program is April 6 at 5 p.m. Residents selected for the program are eligible See EMA | 3 INDEX Obituary: 2 Weather: 3 Opinion: 4 Business: 5 Sports: 6 TV: 7 Classifieds: 8 Comics: 9 Photos by Sarah Hawley | Sentinel Judges Linda Warner and Mick Barr issued the oath of office to three local officials on Wednesday at the Meigs County Courthouse.

IN BRIEF Cardi B sparks new rivalry LAGOS, Nigeria (AP) — Cardi B’s announcement that she wants to seek Nigerian citizenship has set off a Twitter feud between her West African fans in friendly rivals Nigeria and Ghana. The Grammy-winning rapper visited both countries last month on her African tour. Her announcement in a tweet on Friday criticized the U.S. airstrike in Iraq that killed Iranian commander Qassem Soleimani and sent Middle East tensions soaring. “Its sad this man is putting Americans live in danger. Dumbest move Trump did till date ... I’m ﬁling for my Nigerian citizenship,” she tweeted. Many in West Africa saw her tweet as proof that she preferred Nigeria. Gunman gets life term TUCSON, Ariz. (AP) — A man convicted of shooting a U.S. Border Patrol agent nine years ago in a case that exposed a botched federal gun operation known as “Fast and Furious” was sentenced Wednesday to life in prison. U.S. District Judge David C. Bury sentenced Heraclio Osorio-Arellanes to the mandatory life sentence after hearing tearful statements from the sisters of Brian Terry, the agent who was fatally shot while on a mission in Arizona on Dec. 14, 2010. Osorio-Arellanes is one of seven defendants who were charged in the slaying of Terry. OsorioArellanes was convicted of ﬁrst-degree murder and other charges last year after being extradited from Mexico in 2018. Terry’s death exposed the “Fast and Furious” operation, in which U.S. federal agents allowed criminals to buy ﬁrearms with the intention of tracking them to criminal organizations. But the U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives lost track of most of the guns, including two found at scene of Terry’s death. Stabbed man is hit, killed PHILADELPHIA (AP) — A man walking to the hospital after he was stabbed was struck and killed by a hit-and-run driver in Philadelphia, authorities said.

He was the father of ﬁve children who range in age from 2 to 13. The hit-and-run was captured on surveillance video, and authorities hope witnesses will come forward with information on the vehicles. ‘Modern Family’ to end PASADENA, Calif. (AP) — “Modern Family” will air its ﬁnale after 11 seasons on April 8, and there are no spin-offs in the works involving its large cast.

I found that a poster I ﬁrst noticed years ago was true again. It said, “Work fascinates me. I can sit and look at it for hours.” We eventually reached the point where we could keep up with current chores, but just could not get back to things we should have done a week ago, like taking down Christmas decorations and storing them away Kathleen for another year. Floyd When our children were young Contributing we agreed we would not put the columnist decorations up until after our one daughter’s birthday Dec. 9. The kids thought it was to allow a birthday atmosphere for her big day. Actually it was to preserve my sanity. Back then un-decorating took place when we were tired of looking at the Christmas lights, or we had time, or it was mid January. In more recent years Bill and I usually decided there was no need to do big time decorating a few days before someone showed up to decorate for us. However, no one seemed to show up to undecorate, and last year I had planned to have contracts for decorators to sign this year guaranteeing they would undecorate at an appropriate time. Then one evening two of the teen granddaughters were here, and I got caught up in the moment and forgot the contracts. As usual we thoroughly enjoyed the Christmas lights and all. Then right after the holiday we got the ﬂu and while everybody offered to run errands for whatever we needed, nobody was eager to spend enough time with our ﬂu germs to take down and store away the decorations. We surely couldn’t blame them. For a while I tried to think of ways to disguise the Christmas stuff in the off-season so we could just leave it up all year round. One thought was putting appropriate seasonal ﬂowers on the tree and in the garland. But I ﬁnally realized that could develop into more work than just un-decorating. So, over the the past week, whenever I went to the basement I would grab a wreath or some garland and take it down with me and put it away. I don’t go to the basement all that often, but I ﬁgured by June it would all be stored away again. Then last Sunday the youngest grandson stayed with us while his family went to Mass. He noticed we still had a lot of candy canes on the Christmas tree. I agreed, even though I thought the little candy canes looked more like boomerangs this year. I asked if he wanted to take them off and divide them up for his cousins. He spent some happy time sorting and dividing them. By the time his family came by to pick him up, I was beginning to think it would be nice to have some help undercoating now. “After all,” I explained, “everybody goes out to eat after church, and if we waited an hour or so it wouldn’t be so crowded, and in less than an hour, if we all worked together, everything could be down and stored away. His mother took pity on me and agreed we should all do that. I gulped, realizing all the order I had restored to the decoration department last year was about to be destroyed. All of those willing hands stacking whatever wherever it ﬁt could be disastrous. But, me trying to do it as a onewoman show over the next few months would be worse. Then, sudden inspiration! If I stationed myself in the basement receiving incoming decorations, I could put them where they belonged. The younger boys were perfectly willing to run down the steps to make deliveries to me and resurrect forgotten toys stored in the basement to take back upstairs to occupy their time until they made another delivery. The others worked together to un-decorate. About an hour later the house was back to the after-Christmas bland look that will require something new to spice it up a bit, and we were on our way out to eat.

THEIR VIEW Get ready — it really is winter Back in November, I wore a winter coat because it was cold outside. Since then, it has been around 45 degrees almost every day. I wore a light sweater to church this morning and felt just ﬁne. This is not the way winter in Ohio is supposed to be. Do not allow yourself to be lulled into thinking that an Ohio winter is nothing to worry about. As soon as we develop that attitude, we could easily get slammed again. In Ohio, not being prepared for winter can be fatal. Forty-two years ago, we were on the brink of one of the most devastating winter storms this region would ever experience. Those of us who lived through the Blizzard of 1978 will never forget it. Freezing rain changed to a heavy snow. The wind started to blow. It continued all night, blowing faster and harder throughout the long night. By morning, snow drifts were up to the windows. Doors could not be opened. In many places the snow had piled up to the rooftops. Most roads were impassible. Fifty-one people died in Ohio because of that blizzard. The Ohio National Guard was activated to rescue stranded drivers and check on people who lived in rural areas. It was a dangerous and deadly week. It could happen again. clothes, you should We need to be prebe able to survive a pared. few cold nights.

If you ﬁnd yourself in a situation where you are cold and are getting colder, there are some important things you should know and some important things you should do. First and foremost, prevent further heat loss. There is an old saying, “If your hands and feet are cold, put on a hat.” About one-third of the blood ﬂowing from your heart goes to your head. Your head is the greatest source of heat loss in your entire body. Keeping your head warm can keep your entire body warm. Have earmuffs and a warm knit hat available when you’re caught in the cold. Don’t trust tennis shoes. Wear wool socks and warm boots. Gloves are great, but mittens are better. Prepare an emergency go-bag. Stick it in your car. Don’t leave survival to chance and don’t expect our winter weather to remain as warm as it has been. Be prepared. Stay prepared.

TODAY IN HISTORY The Associated Press Today is Thursday, Jan. 9, the ninth day of 2020. There are 357 days left in the year. Today’s Highlight in History On Jan. 9, 1945, during World War II, American forces began landing on the shores of Lingayen Gulf in the Philippines as the Battle of Luzon got underway, resulting in an Allied victory over Imperial Japanese forces. On this date In 1788, Connecticut became the ﬁfth state to ratify the U.S. Constitution. In 1861, Mississippi became the second state to secede from the Union, the same day the Star of the West, a merchant vessel bringing reinforcements and supplies to Federal troops at Fort Sumter, South Carolina, retreated because of artillery ﬁre. In 1913, Richard Milhous Nixon, the 37th president of the United States, was born in Yorba Linda, California. In 1916, the World War I Battle of Gallipoli ended after eight months with an Ottoman Empire victory as Allied forces withdrew. In 1951, the United Nations headquarters in New York ofﬁcially opened. In 1958, President Dwight D. Eisenhower, in his State of the Union address to Congress, warned of the threat of Communist imperialism. In 1959, the Western series “Rawhide” premiered on CBS-TV. In 1987, the White House released a January 1986 memorandum prepared for President Ronald Reagan by Lt. Col. Oliver L. North showing a link between U.S. arms sales to Iran and the release of American hostages in Lebanon. In 1997, a Comair commuter plane crashed 18 miles short of the Detroit Metropolitan Airport, killing all 29 people on board. In 2001, Linda Chavez withdrew her bid to be President-elect George W. Bush’s Secretary of Labor because of controversy over an immigrant in the U.S. illegally who’d once lived with her. In 2006, conﬁrmation hearings opened in Washington for Supreme Court nominee Samuel Alito. “The Phantom of the Opera” leapt past “Cats” to become the longestrunning show in Broadway history (a record that still stands). In 2009, the Illinois House voted 114-1 to impeach Gov. Rod Blagojevich (blah-GOY’uh-vich), who deﬁantly insisted again that he had committed no crime. �NEWS Daily Sentinel Thursday, January 9, 2020 5 Historical Society receives grant Connolly promoted to loan officer RACINE — Home National Bank announces the promotion of Amber Connolly as Loan Ofﬁcer where she will be servicing loan customers at the Racine location.

Emphasis is NEW YORK (AP) — Stocks marched higher in afternoon trading on Wall Street as the U.S. and Iran pulled back from a potential conﬂict. Markets started the day recovering from overnight declines following Iran’s missile attacks on U.S. bases in Iraq. Statements from both nations calmed fears that the conﬂict could spiral into a series of retaliations. The latest attacks came in response to a U.S. drone strike last week that killed a top Iranian general. President Donald Trump’s comment Wednesday that Iran appears to be “standing down” further eased tensions. He indicated that the U.S. won’t use its military to retaliate for the strikes, which did not result in any American or Iraqi deaths. The S&P 500 index and Nasdaq were on track to set new record highs after several tense days in anticipation of Iran’s retaliation. Technology companies led the gains. Apple rose 1.4% and Microsoft climbed 1.5%. Banks also broadly rose as bond yields moved higher. The yield on the 10-year Treasury rose to 1.86% from 1.82% late Tuesday. Higher yields allow banks to charge more lucrative interest on mortgages and other loans. Oil prices fell sharply as traders became less worried about supply disruptions from the Middle East. The 5% drop in crude oil dragged down energy stocks. Phillips 66 fell 3.3% and Schlumberger shed 2.4%.

The River Valley boys basketball team snapped a 17-game losing skid within Tri-Valley Conference Ohio Division play following a 70-31 victory over host Nelsonville-York on Tuesday night in Athens County. The Raiders (4-7, 1-3 TVC Ohio) earned the program’s ﬁrst league victory since a 49-46 decision over these same Buckeyes back on Feb. 6, 2018, in Bidwell. It was also the ﬁrst TVC Ohio victory for second-year coach Brett Bostic in 16 league contests. The Silver and Black had seven players reach the scoring column — including ﬁve in double digits — while limiting the Buckeyes to just three points in the opening frame. RVHS received 11 combined points from Mason Rhodes and Chase Caldwell as part of a 17-3 ﬁrst quarter surge, then Caldwell poured in another seven points during a 21-8 second quarter run that pushed the halftime lead out to 38-11. Brandon Call and Jordan Lambert each scored six points as part of a 18-9 third quarter run that extended the cushion out to 56-20. Jordan Burns tacked on eight points down the stretch during a 14-11 run that completed the 39-point outcome. The Raiders hadn’t won a league game on the road since the 2016-17 campaign. River Valley’s ﬁrst road victory of the year also led to the program’s ﬁrst winning streak this winter. RVHS outrebounded the hosts by a 28-23 overall margin, including a 10-8 edge on the offensive glass. The Buckeyes committed 21 of the 34 turnovers in the contest as well.

The South Gallia boys basketball team were plus-11 in turnovers and shot 50 percent from the field through three quarters of play Tuesday night en route to a convincing 65-33 victory over visiting Miller in a Tri-Valley Conference Hocking Division contest in Gallia County.

South Gallia, however, went on a 12-1 surge over the final 4:13 and held a comfortable 40-23 cushion at the break. The Rebels went without a turnover in the second period and had only two at the intermission, compared to nine miscues by the guests. SGHS also held a 22-9 rebounding advantage at the half, including 11-1 on the offensive glass. South Gallia made a 21-3 third quarter surge on 8-of-12 shooting while forcing five turnovers. Miller was 0-for13 from the field as well, allowing the hosts to build a 61-26 advantage entering the finale. Kyle Northup gave SGHS its largest lead of the night (63-26) on an offensive putback 20 seconds into the fourth, but Steven Wilson ended the shooting skid with a basket at the 7:23 mark — sparking a 7-2 run that wrapped up the 32-point outcome. The Rebels outrebounded the guests by a 39-25 overall margin, including a 14-9 edge on the offensive glass. Miller also committed 17 of the 26 turnovers in the contest.

TVPG �SPORTS/CLASSIFIEDS 8 Thursday, January 9, 2020 Daily Sentinel Maryland grinds past Ohio State COLLEGE PARK, Md. (AP) — One of these days, Maryland will run the fast break to perfection, show a precise shooting eye from the outside and score a whole bunch of points. Until that time, the Terrapins will continue to rely upon their defense to win. And that’s just ﬁne with coach Mark Turgeon, who has no problem waiting for Maryland to perform efﬁciently on both ends of the court. Anthony Cowan Jr. scored 20 points, and the 12th-ranked Terrapins used an unyielding defensive performance to defeat No. 11 Ohio State 67-55 Tuesday night and remain unbeaten at home. Jalen Smith had 11 points and seven rebounds for the Terrapins (13-2, 3-1 Big Ten), who have won three straight. Maryland went up by 10 on a 3-pointer by Cowan with 12:58 left and cruised to the ﬁnish. “We won because our defense was outstanding,” Turgeon said. “I’m encouraged because I don’t think we’re playing great yet. But we beat a really, really good team that I think can win a national championship if things go the right way for them in March.” On this night, Ohio State (11-4, 1-3) looked nothing like a contender. The Buckeyes shot a miserable 31%, went 5 for 27 from 3-point range and committed 14 turnovers. “Their length provides, obviously, a lot of problems. And it’s not just the length inside,” Ohio State coach Chris Holtmann said. “Mark does a really good job, good discipline, they don’t foul. I’ve always felt like Mark’s teams are really smart in how they defend you.” The Terps didn’t score a point in the opening six minutes and had only 28 points at halftime, but it didn’t matter because their defense was so darn good. “We have some guys who aren’t playing up to their ability offensively, but they’re really doing some great things defensively for us,” Turgeon said. “So we’re hanging our hat on that. Hopefully we can just continue to grow offensively as the season goes on.” Maryland led 31-29 before Cowan made a free throw and a shot from well beyond the arc for a 41-31 advantage. The margin swelled to 12 points on a breakaway dunk by Aaron Wiggins with 8:49 remaining. The clincher came on a follow-dunk by Wiggins for a 59-50 lead with 2:54 to go, sending the Terrapins on their way to a 10-0 record at home.. Both teams were ranked third in the nation at different times last month before going through a poor stretch. The Buckeyes came in with three losses in their last ﬁve games, including two straight.

The Terrapins regrouped with three consecutive wins at home, including this one against an Ohio State team that has struggled to score during its current slide. The Buckeyes reached the 70-point mark in 11 straight games before getting 59 against West Virginia and 57 last week at home against Wisconsin. “You hear guys talking about getting their swagger back,” Holtmann said. “You don’t get it back on game day. You just don’t. You get it back every day in practice. It’s a hard thing for a young group to understand.” Kaleb Wesson scored 15 for Ohio State, and Andre Wesson and D.J. Carton had 14 apiece. Luther Muhammad went 0 for 6 from the ﬂoor, Duane Washington Jr. ﬁnished 2 for 11, including 0 for 5 from 3-point range. Darryl Morsell scored 10 points for Maryland, but it was his defense that made the difference. “Last year in the NCAA Tournament, the ﬁnal game, Virginia and Texas Tech were the two best defensive teams. So we always harp on guarding,” Morsell said. “Even when our offense isn’t clicking. Just guard. And it will eventually come around. That’s what happened tonight.” Cowan added: “We work a lot on defense in practice, and it showed.” The Terrapins committed 11 turnovers in the ﬁrst half and missed eight of nine attempts from within the arc but were 7 for 11 on 3-point tries to forge a six-point lead at the break. Maryland trailed 8-0 before Eric Alaya accounted for half the points in a 12-3 surge that gave the Terrapins their ﬁrst lead. Short-handed The Buckeyes played without 6-foot-8 junior forward Kyle Young, who missed a second straight game since having his appendix removed. Young ranks fourth on the team with 8.3 points per game and second in rebounding with 6.8. Poll implications Ohio State: Since opening the season with nine straight wins, the Buckeyes have endured in a free fall in the AP poll. This didn’t help. Maryland: The Terrapins just might work their way back into the Top 10 if they can sustain the momentum created by this victory. Up next Ohio State faces Indiana on the road Saturday. The Buckeyes have won four straight in the series, the last three by a combined nine points. Maryland plays four of its next ﬁve games on the road, beginning Friday night at Iowa.

The claims were made Tuesday in a report by The Athletic. The website cited three anonymous sources it said were with the Red Sox during the 2018 season who said some players visited the replay room during games to get information on sign sequences. Those sources told The Athletic that the Red Sox weren’t able to do it during the postseason because of in-person monitors used by MLB in those games. “The Commissioner made clear in a September 15, 2017 memorandum to clubs how seriously he would take any future violation of the regulations regarding use of electronic equipment or the inappropriate use of the video replay room. Given these allegations, MLB will commence an investigation into this matter,” the league said in a statement. The Red Sox said they will cooperate as MLB looks into the allegations. “We were recently made aware of allegations suggesting the inappropriate use of our video replay room,” the team said in a statement. “We take these allegations seriously and will fully cooperate with MLB as they investigate the matter.” The incident that prompted MLB’s 2017 warning from Commissioner Rob Manfred to teams came after the Red Sox were ﬁned an undisclosed sum for “sending electronic communications from their video replay room to an athletic trainer in the dugout” during an August 2017 series against the rival New York Yankees. The New York Times reported that general manager Brian Cashman ﬁled a complaint with the commissioner’s ofﬁce regarding that incident which included video. The newspaper said it showed a member of Boston’s training staff looking at his Apple Watch in the dugout and relaying a message to players. Manfred said at the time that future violations would be subject to more serious sanctions, including possible loss of draft picks. He said last month that he has the authority to levy even stiffer penalties. The latest allegations against the Red Sox come after The Athletic reported last month that the Houston Astros allegedly stole signs during home games of their 2017 World Series championship season by using a camera positioned in center ﬁeld. Boston Red Sox manager Alex Cora was the bench coach for that team and has spoken with MLB. He has declined further comment on the matter.
