Group prepares for March for Meals By Lorna Hart lhart@civitasmedia.com POMEROY — Meals on Wheels kicks off “March for Meals” to help raise money and awareness of their programs. Serving almost every community in the United States, Meals on Wheels works through a network of independently run programs that allows each group to base their efforts on the needs and resources of their own areas. This March, hundreds of local Meals on Wheels groups across the country, including the Meigs County program, will reach out to for support in their mission to deliver nutritious meals, friendly visits and safety checks to seniors regardless of financial concerns. People in the community are encouraged to volunteer, donate and speak out about the welfare of seniors for them to live a more healthy, happy and independent lives at home. The county Council on Aging sponsors the Meals on Wheels in the Meigs area and provides congregate meals through the Senior Nutrition programs. Meals on Wheels is considered a safety net for seniors, and according to Council on Aging’s Executive Director Beth Shaver, it is more than just a meal. “Our meals are delivered by trained drivers who often carry treats for pets, bring in the mail and set up the meal if needed. Delivery drivers are trained to spot something out of the ordinary during their visit and report it immediately,” she said. “There are situations the driver will find it necessary to call for emergency services and stay with the person until help arrives. “Our congregate meals encourage people to come out and socialize if they can. We have activities that promote brain and physical stimulation. It is a place to come and be with other people, and it gives us an opportunity to see how they are getting along and if they might require help in certain areas.” A small portion of the programs are funded by federal and state funds; the majority of meals delivered by the Council on Aging are funded with local levy dollars, fundraising and contributions.

Stanley makes run for Meigs prosecutor — NEWS Obituaries: 2 Opinion: 4 Weather: 5 By Lorna Hart lhart@civitasmedia.com — SPORTS Basketball: 6 Schedule: 6 — FEATURES Television: 7 Classified: 8 Comics: 9 GALLIPOLIS — The Gallia County Court of Common Pleas arraigned a Gallipolis man Wednesday morning for the alleged rape of two juveniles. Bruce Johnson III, 20, of Gallipolis, was Johnson arrested by Gallipolis police Feb. 13 after an alleged incident reported to police on Oct. 30, 2015. According to police reports, a Gallia County sheriff’s deputy first advised Gallipolis police officers of the potential rape of a 4-yearold juvenile. After several interviews and investigations, officers determined another potential juvenile listed in reports as being 2 years old also allegedly suffered from a similar crime. Reports say both victims suffered apparent minor injuries after the alleged incident occurred in Gallipolis. Reports also state Johnson is a family member of the victims. Johnson appeared in court with appointed counsel Graham Woodyard. Johnson entered a plea of not guilty and his bond was set at $100,000 with a 10-percent secure fee. Johnson currently sits in Gallia County Jail. He has a jury trial dated for 9 a.m. May 4, if no plea arrangement is reached. Both counts are considered first-degree felony charges and address the Ohio Revised Code Section 2907.02. According to the code, if an offense is committed against an individual less than 10 years of age, a convicted offender could potentially be sentenced to life in prison without parole, should the court see fit. An alleged offender must have engaged in sexual conduct with a victim for an offense to be considered rape. Gross sexual imposition is generally considered to be unwanted sexual touching. Sexual conduct refers to penetration. JOIN THE CONVERSATION What’s your take on today’s news? Go to mydailysentinel. com and visit us on facebook or twitter to share your thoughts. POMEROY — Growing up in Meigs County, James Stanley believes he will bring his understanding of the area to the office of Meigs County Prosecuting Attorney. Stanley is a graduate of Meigs High School and said he has spent all of his life in Meigs County, except for his college years. After receiving a bachelor of arts degree in political science from Ohio University and a Juris Doc- tor from the University of Akron School of Law, he accepted a position with the Athens City Prosecutor, where he has prosecuted more than 8,000 criminal cases. Stanley “Meigs County is my home and I want send a message to those who manufacture and bring drugs into the community, and to repeat offenders, that Meigs County is not the place they can come to create a drug culture,” Stanley said. “I want them to understand that it is not acceptable to bring drugs into the county, that this is not a haven for dealers and users, and that they will be prosecuted to the full extent of the law. “We need to change the way people think, to pressure users to get they help they need,” he said. “Having an impact on the drug problem is not easy, but we need to be proactive if we are to solve the issues of substance abuse.” See STANLEY | 2 �LOCAL/STATE 2 Thursday, February 18, 2016 OBITUARY Daily Sentinel DEATH NOTICES LINDA L.

AKRON (AP) — Sheriff’s officials in northeast Ohio say a man facing multiple rape and sexual imposition charges apparently killed himself in a jail cell. The Summit County Sheriff’s Office issued a statement Wednesday that says the 63-year-old man from Green was found unresponsive Feb. 12. No other details of his death were released, and a sheriff’s inspector declined to comment. The statement says the man showed no signs of being suicidal when he was booked into jail in October. Court records show the man recently underwent a psychiatric evaluation to determine whether he was competent to assist in his defense. His attorney previously filed a motion that said the man had a mental health history. Prices are subject to change at any time.

His plan is to reach out to the villages and townships with meetings and forums to discuss the issues and help people better understand how the prosecutor’s office can help people before they become offenders. “To eradicate the drug population and discourage criminal activities, I would make law enforcement and the prosecutor’s office more proactive with pro- grams that will provide a place for people to go for help before they have committed a crime,” he said. “Our law enforcement agencies in the county are doing a great job with investigations and arrests, and I want to involve them in tackling the problem, along with the prosecutor’s office, before it begins.” Stanley lives in Bedford Township with his daughter and serves on several community boards. He is a regular volunteer with the Poverty Prevention Legal Clinic and coaches his daughter’s soccer team. “I hope people would look at me as someone who is part of the community. I love Meigs and plan to live here the rest of my life. I’m dedicated to the county,” he said. “I do understand the situations with which residents are confronted. My friends and family members are affected by the very issues I’m trying to fix. I can share my stories and build trust with the community.” The county prosecutor’s office handles felony cases, and in Meigs, also handles municipal court cases.

She had died, her house about to be auctioned off. Dad found a small box of letters from the 1790s on an upstairs closet floor just before workers would have pitched the box onto a bonfire. Nine old letters saved from the flames — stranger yet, nine more of 1790s vintage then turned up in a small metal box. Where? Under a hay mound in a barn being torn down. True story. Unlikely finds, and both of them here in Ohio. Tracking these lost letters led to a small farm in Northern Ireland. And, yes, the same family that wrote the letters still lived there — meaning their descendants, distant cousins, did. I had found my long-lost relatives two centuries later. James Antiques Roadshow then evolved into Downton Abbey. Two cousins F. Burns Contributing in a nearby cottage — Maggie Jane Columnist and Emma, both spunky gals in their 80s — had tales to tell the visiting American. Maggie Jane had been head cook at Moyola Park, Northern Irish aristocracy who hosted royalty and took Maggie with them on winter holidays in Switzerland to cook for crown princes and regal ladies. The family’s son, James Chichester-Clark, was the province’s prime minister who summoned the British Army when riots spun out of control and Belfast burned in 1969. It was not the first time Belfast burned — soon after the London blitz began, the German Luftwaffe turned their attention to Belfast, bombing factories and shipyards three times in 1941. The Easter bombing killed over 1,000 people and destroyed 56,000 houses as well as factories. Churchill praised the resiliency of Northern Ireland for helping to defeat Hitler in a phase of history little known here in America. My family letters foretold the sectarian turmoil that would tear Northern Ireland apart in modern times. A 1796 letter reported: “We have had great Troubles here between protestants or Orange Boys and Deffenders [sic] or papists, several killed on both sides in their various scuffels [sic] and some executed. The truth is there was faults on both sides, bringing Trouble on peaceable people. The innocent suffer with the guilty.” I began writing and teaching about the modern Troubles, making eight trips to Belfast and meeting with politicians, professors and paramilitary men. While loyalists did their share of damage, the Irish Republican Army perfected car bombs and made Northern Ireland a byword for terrorism. My one friend’s wife lost her legs to an IRA car bomb while another blast killed Ian Gow, a member of parliament who met with me in London. It seemed bizarre that old family letters led to bullets and bombs, as well as new-found family. Even my cousins’ farm was caught in the crosshairs, two nearby terrorist attacks killing four policemen and a female prison guard just before my first visit. After three decades of writing on the Troubles, I had retired — until jolted out of retirement by having a family friend get caught up in the Boston Marathon bombing. Kris and her handicapped daughter Kayla, competing in the wheelchair division, were nearing the finish line at Copley Square. But so were the Tsarnaev brothers. As Kris’ fiancé, Brian, came to help her and Kayla across the finish line, the first bomb exploded, bathing Boston in blood and sending a shock wave of shrapnel toward them. Brian was hit in the head but survived — and shielded Kris and Kayla from the full force of the blast. I immediately picked up my pen and began writing again about a new brand of terrorism that’s become more deadly, devastating and disgusting than Northern Ireland’s. But, yes, the innocent suffer with the guilty — perhaps more so. A final chapter of my letters story is more personal. The 1790s letters were written to my ancestor in Pennsylvania. By 1804, he was married with two children; by 1805, his “fine garrel named Jane and fine boy named Alexander,” ages three and one, were dead, victims of a raging frontier fever. Devastated, the grief-stricken parents moved on to Ohio for a fresh start. They had eight more children, a mark of American resiliency. May that same resolve resonate with us today in fighting terrorism. James F. Burns, an Ohio native, is a professor emeritus at the University of Florida.

Finally, in the interest of time and efficiency, organize your list by the layout of the grocery store. It’s also best not to take the kids with you. You will feel compelled to buy things the kids want and, again, make unhealthy and expensive purchases you wouldn’t otherwise.

White House spokesman Josh Earnest said Wednesday that Vice President Joe Biden and his wife Jill Biden will attend the funeral on Saturday McConnell has shown no signs of softening his opposition to confirming an Obama nominee, which could put vulnerable Republicans in a precarious position as his party works to keep control of the Senate in the November elections. But Senate Democratic leader Harry Reid predicted Republicans would “cave in.” “I think my Republican counterpart McConnell has made a terrible mistake by saying that he is going to ignore the president,” Reid said. He added: “The American people are going to make them pay if they jerk the president around on this.” Wrangling over replacing Scalia came as preparations were ramping up to honor the conservative firebrand’s life and legacy on the court.

They delivered both in a big way Tuesday night. Isaiah Taylor scored 23 points and Eric Davis Jr. added 15 and led a flurry of 3-pointers that sparked the 24thranked Longhorns to an 85-78 victory over No. 10 West Virginia. “We do a great job of responding,” Taylor said. “Coach Smart lit a fire under all of us.” Davis made four 3-pointers in the first half and Texas (17-9, 8-5 Big 12) had 10 in the game in capping a regular-season sweep of the Mountaineers. For Davis, it was a huge turnaround after he scored a total of seven points in the previous four games. “Swagger is basically energy, that’s all it is,” Davis said. “Isaiah has been a great teammate, telling me I’d be needed down the stretch. It’s target practice when you’ve got a great guard like him.” Tarik Phillip scored 19 points for West Virginia (20-6, 9-4), which dropped one game behind No. 2 Kansas in the Big 12. Jaysean Paige, the Mountaineers’ leading scorer at 14.0 points per game, injured an ankle in the first half and never returned. He missed two shots and did not score. “What was deflating was Jaysean on the bench with his ankle on ice. He’s been as good as anybody in the league the last few weeks,” West Virginia coach Bob Huggins said. West Virginia, which trailed by as many as 16 points in the second half, pulled within 77-71 on a three-point play by Jonathan Holton with 38 seconds left. Texas put the game away with eight consecutive free throws. The win is another big result on the NCAA Tournament resume of first-year coach Smart, who still hasn’t lost three straight with the Longhorns. Texas is 5-3 against ranked opponents this season and three of its last five games will come against No. 25 Baylor, Kansas and No. 3 Oklahoma.

Point Pleasant tops Tigers, snaps skid By Paul Boggs pboggs@civitasmedia.com POINT PLEASANT, W.Va. — For a while, Point Pleasant was witnessing its 21-point lead melt away during Tuesday night’s boys basketball game against the visiting Shady Spring Tigers. But the Big Blacks, behind a snow-plow of early three-pointers along with another late surge, made sure Shady Spring was their first victim in calendar year 2016. That’s because the Big Blacks, winning their first game since Dec. 29, snapped their 13-game losing streak by taming the Tigers 63-54. Point Pleasant scored in double figures for all four quarters — and improved to 3-17 with the win. The Tigers, which rolled the Big Blacks by 20 points (59-39) two weeks ago in Raleigh County, fell to 8-9. The Big Blacks built an early 32-11 lead behind six first-half three-pointers, including a combined five from Doug Workman (two) and Bradley Gibbs (three). They then withstood Shady Spring’s furious rally to within five points twice, including 53-48 with four minutes and 17 seconds to play. By making 4-of-9 free throws in the final minute and 49 seconds, along with two terrific Parker Rairden field goals off Cason Payne assists, the Big Blacks were officially off the slide. “It feels good that we finally put all the pieces together,” said PPHS coach Josh Williams. “We knew that streak was in double digits, and we still had that little letdown late in this game. I thought the kids got a little tentative and took some bad shots. But for the most part, the kids did what was asked of them and executed the gameplan. I’m happy for them. I feel like we’re better that what our record indicates, and I put that on me as a head coach. I think we have made advances and have gotten better.” Point Pleasant almost knocked off Cabell-Midland on Saturday night, falling 56-53. However, PPHS finally closed the deal three days later. The Big Blacks ballooned a 16-9 lead at the first stop to a doubled 34-17 tally at halftime. There were only two ties at 6-6 and 8-8, as Point’s eight unanswered erased an 8-6 Tiger lead at the 3:50 mark of the first quarter. Workman rained in both of his threes for the Big Blacks’ first two baskets, before four consecutive field goals from Payne, Brandon Henderson and Gibbs gave Point the 14-8 advantage. The Tigers didn’t score for two minutes and 44 seconds in the period, and Gibbs’ pair of free throws made it 16-9 after one. Gibbs got it going in the second quarter, hitting three threes including one off the wing with 1:20 remaining to make it 32-11. “We’ve actually been a pretty good shooting team all year. At times, we fall in love with that outside shot. But I thought the shots that we took in the first half were right in rhythm of the offense. They were good looks, and when we shoot the ball well, it opens things up for our (lane) drivers. I was pleased with that. I know we’re capable shooters.” The six-foot, five-inch senior Gibbs — on six total field goals and 5-of-6 free throws — poured in 21 points to pace all scorers. Rairden, on two trifectas and five total field goals, chipped in 12, while Workman — with 3-of-4 free throws — added 11. Trey Tucker, on a third-quarter field goal and 6-of-10 free throws including 4-of-8 in the fourth frame, had eight. Point Pleasant — being fouled late by the Tigers — made 17-of-28 from the stripe, as Payne, Work- man and Gibbs all made one apiece in the final period. Point Pleasant also held Shady Spring scoreless for five minutes and 50 seconds in the second quarter, employing a zone defense that saw it score 14 unanswered on the other end. Michael Holt had a field goal only 1:08 into the stanza, but the Tigers didn’t score again until a Keith Sexton trey with 62 seconds left — followed by Cole Honaker driving the lane for an oldfashioned three-point play at the buzzer. Williams said it was the opposite approach from their initial meeting. “The first time we played them, we manned them (played man-toman defense), and they just lived in our paint all night long. We knew they had capable shooters from outside, but we knew they really liked to attack the paint. We wanted to take that away and make them one-dimensional. The defensive strategy was to take their penetration away, and I thought our zone really flustered them in the first half. We were willing to live with if they could make enough threes to beat us.” And, Shady Spring almost did just that. The Tigers continued to charge back in the second half, as they made four threes apiece in each of the final two cantos. The final of those eight treys trimmed the deficit to 53-48 — combined with missed shots, missed free throws and careless turnovers by the Big Blacks. “I thought we lost a little bit of energy on our defense for most of the second half. Our hands were down and we didn’t seem to have the urgency to get to shooters, which gave them looks,” said Williams.

(AP) — The West Virginia Senate has approved a “Tim Tebow” bill to let homeschooled students play for school sports teams. The bill passed by a 25-8 margin Wednesday, moving it to the House. It would let homeschooled students play for nearby public schools under the West Virginia Secondary School Activities Commission. Private schools could allow the practice. Students would have to meet the same standards as other members of school teams. They would need to take standardized tests or show a portfolio of work to prove they meet academic requirements. In the bill, students at private schools that don’t offer certain sports could also play for other schools that do. Tebow played for Florida private and public schools while he was homeschooled, and advanced to a stint in the NFL. Patriots Mayo says he will retire FOXBOROUGH, Mass. (AP) — New England Patriots linebacker Jerod Mayo says he is going to retire. Mayo posted a 90-word statement on Instagram on Tuesday with the caption “Retiring a Patriot.” The 29-year-old former first-round draft pick said being a member of the Patriots for eight years was a “lifechanging event.” “As my family and I prepare for the future, be sure that the Pats memories will always hold a special place in our hearts,” he wrote. Mayo also thanked the Kraft family, coach Bill Belichick and someone named “Thundercat.” Mayo, 29, was the 10th overall pick in the 2008 draft. He did not play in the AFC championship game against Denver because of a shoulder injury. He played in just six games in each of the previous two seasons because of injuries. Basketball player pierced by piece of wood floor MIDDLETON, Wis. (AP) — A high school basketball player in southern Wisconsin is expected to return to the court soon after she was impaled by a piece of a gym’s wood floor. The 14-year-old Wisconsin Heights High School player was running down the court during a basketball tournament Sunday when she fell and slid along the floor at a field house in Middleton. Tournament organizer Perry Hibner says the girl told the referee that she couldn’t get up because there was a piece of wood stuck to her. Hibner says splinters from the broken piece of wood had pierced the girl’s stomach region. Spectators were asked to temporarily leave the tournament as paramedics treated the girl and rushed her to a Madison hospital where she spent the night. Hibner tells WISC-TV the girl suffered no internal organ damage. with the Yankees. Betances had a 1.50 ERA in a career-high 74 games. “On paper we look pretty good, but that doesn’t really mean anything,” Miller said. Yankees pitchers and catchers report for spring training on Thursday. Miller looking forward to seeing Chapman pitch Nike drops Manny Pacquiao in wake of anti-gay statements TAMPA, Fla. (AP) — Andrew Miller can’t wait to watch Aroldis Chapman on a mound up close. Acquired from the Cincinnati Reds in December, Chapman is taking over from Miller as the New York Yankees closer this season. The left-hander routinely surpasses 100 mph with his fastball. “I’m just curious to see him pitch,” Miller said Wednesday after working out at the Yankees’ minor league complex. “I’m looking to see it first hand. I’m looking forward to just kind of standing behind the bullpen or something and seeing what it looks like.” With Chapman closing, Miller will join Dellin Betances in a set-up role. Miller was 36 for 38 in save chances with a 2.04 ERA last year in his first season NEW YORK (AP) — Manny Pacquiao’s comments disparaging gays have cost him his contract with apparel giant Nike. The company issued a release Wednesday saying it has dropped the Filipino boxer after he was quoted as saying gay people “are worse than animals.” Nike called Pacquiao’s comments “abhorrent” and said the company strongly opposes discrimination of any kind and has long stood up for the fights of gays. Pacquiao, who meets Timothy Bradley on April 9 in what could be his last fight, apologized Tuesday for the remarks made a day earlier. In them, Pacquiao said it was just common sense that animals are not gay. Pacquiao is running for the Senate in the Philippines.

I can’t take away from my boys’ effort in the second half or the fact that they never quit. I am proud of them for that.” The Spartans — who 60576582 digits in each of those first three periods of play. The Raiders, conversely, netted only 8-of-33 shot attempts (24 percent) and committed 13 turnovers before the start of the final period. River Valley coach Jeremy Peck praised his troops for fighting until the bitter end, but the second-year mentor was quick to acknowledge that the big deficit early on was simply too much to climb out of. “We came out dead and got in way too deep of a hole. We tried to claw our way out of it and picked 500 champion Jamie McMurray said. Daytona Rising was designed to meet the ever-increasing demand to improve the fan experience. Twenty-year-old stadiums are considered outdated. Burgers, hot dogs, pretzels and beer are no longer enough at sporting events. High-definition televisions have made it even tougher to convince people to get off their couches and pay for expensive tickets. International Speedway Corp., NASCAR’s sister company that owns a dozen tracks including Daytona, took all of those factors into account when it started planning the redesign. “It doesn’t make sense in this day and age to sell a subpar experience. And if you sell a subpar experience, you would expect the Check out the five-day forecast on the weather page or online at Mydailytribune.com Mydailyregister.com Mydailysentinel.com brought to you by Let’s Talk About Your GOALS www.fbsc.com 740-992-2136 fan to not come back,” Chitwood said. “When you look at what it takes for a customer to come to Daytona — airfare, hotel, gas — they’re making a big investment. I think we have a property now that justifies that investment. I think you can make a case we probably weren’t making a good case for that investment in years past.” The centerpieces of the redesign are the injectors, five fan entrances that showcase sponsors and include more than 20,000 square feet of educational and entertainment space. The injectors also include bigger and more bathroom locations and countless dining choices. Throw in more than 1,200 televisions, and fans can leave their seats without missing any on-track action. Toyota got in first and appears to have spent the most money on its displays, which include an offroad ride-along experience, its entire lineup of current models and even a replica of the nose of the Space Shuttle Endeavor that a Toyota Tundra pulled across a California overpass in 2012. It has race cars hanging from the ceiling, interactive video games, personal stories about key employees and even a free Ferris wheel out front. “We started developing long before anybody else, and because of the way we always worked, we always do things looking in our rear-view mirror, worried about what everybody else is doing and we try to do things better — only we had no benchmarks,” said Keith Dahl, general manager for motorsports and asset management for Toyota Motor Sales, USA. stripe for 45 percent. Tyler Twyman led RVHS with 11 points, followed by Jacob Dovenbarger with 10 points and a game-high eight rebounds. Kirk Morrow was next with with six points, while Mark Wray and Haiden Burdette respectively rounded out the River Valley tally with three and two markers. Twyman, Morrow, Wray, Burdette, Jacob Morris and Dayton Hardway were the six seniors participating in their final basketball contest in the Silver and Black. “This senior group is a class that is really going to be hard to replace,” Peck said. “They’ve been here with me when I started and it’s definitely tough to see things end for them this way. Those guys are very special to me and I will miss having them around.” The Spartans net- ted 29-of-60 field goal attempts for 48 percent, including an 8-of-22 effort from behind the arc for 36 percent. The hosts were also 2-of-5 at the charity stripe for 40 percent.

The Big Blacks return home, and return to action on Tuesday (Feb. 23), against Lincoln County. That gives Point a full week to build confidence from Tuesday night’s triumph. “Winning feels good. We’ve been pounding the point home that if we keep practicing and playing hard and just execute better, we’re finally going to get one (win). To get one puts some validity into what we’re saying,” said Williams. advance to Friday’s sectional final to face fifth-seeded Minford — improved to 3-0 against the Raiders this winter after previously earning wins of 63-21 and 54-44 within Tri-Valley Conference Ohio Division play. Alexander finished league play as runner-up to Vinton County with a 9-3 mark, while RVHS was last out of seven teams with a 1-11 record. AHS outrebounded the guests by a 34-26 overall margin, with both teams hauling in eight offensive caroms. River Valley ended the game with 19 turnovers, while the Red, Black and White committed 11 turnovers in the triumph.

West Virginia attacked Texas ballhandlers early and produced three quick turnovers in the opening minutes that fueled a 12-4 Mountaineers lead. But Texas cleaned up the sloppy play and quickly fought back before Davis took over the last 6 minutes of the first half with a slew of 3-pointers. Davis made three as the teams traded seven straight 3-pointers, and his fourth pushed the Longhorns to a 45-36 halftime lead. “That was huge,” Smart said. “It won us the game.” The Longhorns kept up the barrage in the second half. Connor Lammert’s 3-pointer followed by a three-point play by Taylor quickly pushed Texas to a 12-point lead in the opening minutes. Even when Texas’ scoring slowed down, the Mountaineers couldn’t make the run they needed to rally. After shooting 63 percent in the first half, West Virginia tapered off badly in the second and struggled from the free throw line. And Texas kept handling the West Virginia press to perfection. Taylor’s off-balance alley-oop pass to Prince Ibeh for a dunk finished off a three-pass sequence that sliced through the Mountaineers and put the Longhorns up 65-52. “After the first 3 or 4 minutes, our guys did a great job attacking their pressure,” Smart said. “This is one of the best games I’ve seen Isaiah play. He steadied us.” � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
