DeWine talks highway fund By Scott Halasz shalasz@aimmediamidwest.com COLUMBUS — Mike DeWine has been governor of Ohio for about a month and so far has encountered just one surprise. But it’s a big one. A $1.5 billion shocker. That’s the shortfall the state is facing in the highway fund and DeWine is trying to ﬁgure out how to cover it as he works on his various budgets. “We knew that was a bad situation, I did not realize how bad it was,” the Greene County native said from his ofﬁce inside the State- house earlier this week. “You’ve got what I call a structural debt that’s been brought about by several things.” People are driving more miles and putting more wear and tear on the roads while driving more fuel-efﬁcient vehicles, he said. That means drivers are spending less at the pumps, lowering the revenue the state’s 28 cents per gallon gas tax produces. Factor in the ever-increasing construction costs — a dollar raised by the tax in 2005 is worth 59 cents now — and it adds up. Or maybe doesn’t add up. “We can’t borrow any- more money,” DeWine said. “We shouldn’t borrow anymore money. It’s not the right thing to do. The prudent thing to do is to pay for highways as we go but not increase the deﬁcit.” Previous administrations went into debt to cover the problem, but DeWine said the state’s credit cards are maxed out. DeWine said when the state collects money for highways, the ﬁrst $390 million goes to pay for debt service. “We’re going to pay on bonds 20 years,” he said. “We’ve already beneﬁted See DEWINE | 5A SARA Title III deadline is March 1 Staff Report MEIGS COUNTY — The Meigs County Local Emergency Planning Committee in conjunction with the Meigs County EMA reminds Meigs County companies/facilities that the SARA Title III (Emergency Planning Community Right to Know Act) chemical inventory reporting deadline is approaching.

President Donald Trump declared a national emergency along the southern border Friday and predicted his administration would end up defending it all the way to the Supreme Court. That might have been the only thing Trump said Friday that produced near-universal agreement. The American Civil Liberties Union announced its intention to sue less than an hour after the White House released the text of Trump’s declaration that the “current situation at the southern border presents a border security and humanitarian crisis that threatens core national security interests and constitutes a national emergency.” House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and several Democratic state attorneys general already have said they might go to court. The coming legal ﬁght seems likely to hinge on two main issues: Can the president declare a national emergency to build a border wall in the face of Congress’ refusal to give him all the money he wanted and, under The broad grant of discretion to the president could make it hard to persuade courts to rule that Trump exceeded his authority in declaring a border emergency. “He’s the one who gets to make the call. We can’t second-guess it,” said John Eastman, a professor of constitutional law at the Chapman University School of Law. Courts often are reluctant to look beyond the justiﬁcations the president included in his proclamation, Ohio State University law professor Peter Shane said on a call organized by the liberal American Constitution Society. But other legal experts said the facts are powerfully arrayed against the president. They include government statistics showing a decades-long decline in illegal border crossings as well as Trump’s rejection of a deal last year that would have provided more than the nearly $1.4 billion he got for border security in the budget agreement he signed Thursday. Opponents of the declaration also are certain to use Trump’s own words at his Rose Garden news conference Friday to argue that there is no emergency on the border. “I could do the wall over a longer period of time,” Trump said. “I didn’t need to do this, but I’d rather do it much faster.” Republican Rep. Justin Amash of Michigan said Congress made a conscious choice not to give Trump what he wanted. “A prerequisite for declaring an emergency is that the situation requires immediate action and Congress does not have an opportunity to act,” Amash said on Twitter. ACLU executive director Anthony Romero said Trump’s remarks are an admission that there is no national emergency. “He just grew impatient and frustrated with Congress,” Romero said in a statement that also said the rights group would ﬁle a lawsuit next week. Trying to turn the president’s words against him failed in the challenge to Trump’s ban on travel to the United States by citizens of several mostly Muslim countries. The ban’s opponents argued that Trump’s comments as a candidate and as president showed the ban was motivated by antiMuslim bias, not concern about national security. Lower courts struck down the ban, but the Supreme Court upheld it in a 5-4 vote last year. searched the ofﬁces of the elected county executive in Cleveland as part of an ongoing corruption investigation.

Budish in a statement Thursday said he has done nothing wrong and that his administration has cooperated with investigators. Cleveland.com reports 17 subpoenas have been served on the county the past year during an investigation that initially focused on the county’s technology department and has since been expanded to include the troubled Cuyahoga County Corrections Center. the federal law Trump invoked in his declaration, can the Defense Department take money from some congressionally approved military construction projects to pay for wall construction? The Pentagon has so far not said which projects might be affected. But after weeks of publicly ruminating whether to act, Trump’s signature on the declaration set in motion a quick march to the courthouse. Trump relied on the National Emergencies Act of 1976, which Congress adopted as a way to put some limits on presidential use of national emergencies. The act requires a president to notify Congress publicly of the national emergency and to report every six months. The law also says the president must renew the emergency every year, simply by notifying Congress. The House and Senate also can revoke a declaration by majority vote, though it would take a two-thirds vote by each house to override an expected presidential veto. Beyond that, though, the law doesn’t say what constitutes a national emergency or impose any other limits on the president. OHIO BRIEFS Dayton ends boil advisory DAYTON, Ohio (AP) — Boil-water advisories have ended for the Dayton, Ohio, area. City authorities said late Friday morning that water samples were clear of bacteria, and Montgomery County followed later in the day after concluding water was safe to drink without boiling ﬁrst. Some 100,000 people began their day under a boil-water advisory. Crews located a waterline leak Thursday under the Great Miami River, but high river levels have hindered repair work and efforts to determine the break’s cause. Schools resumed Friday, a day after many closed. The Dayton school district said bottled water was available in all buildings. As many as 400,000 people were initially affected by water outages that began Wednesday. 3 indicted in boy’s slaying TOLEDO, Ohio (AP) — Two men and a 17-year-old boy have been charged with ﬁring shots at a car on Interstate 75 in Ohio that killed a 3-year-old as his family headed home from a Thanksgiving gathering last November. The Blade reports 20-year-old Andre White, of Detroit, 18-yearold K’veon Giles, of Toledo, and 17-year-old Matthew Smith were indicted Thursday in Toledo’s Lucas County on aggravated murder and felonious assault charges. Smith is being tried as an adult. Police say child Malachi Barnes was in the backseat of his father’s car when a vehicle pulled alongside and its occupants began shooting. He died at a hospital. Prosecutors say the shooting was retaliation in an ongoing feud, although the intended target wasn’t in the vehicle. It’s unclear if the suspects have attorneys. 3 found dead in Columbus COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Police say the bodies of three people have been found near railroad tracks in Ohio’s capital city of Columbus.

Bond set for suspect accused of setting deputy on fire RAVENNA, Ohio (AP) — A judge has set a $1 million bond for a man charged with setting an Ohio sheriff’s deputy on ﬁre, causing serious burns when the deputy and other ofﬁcers tried to arrest him on a felony warrant. Forty-ﬁve-year-old Jay Brannon appeared in court Friday afternoon in Ravenna after being charged with attempted aggravated murder and aggravated arson. The Record-Courier reports Portage County Sheriff David Doak says Sgt. James Acklin suffered burns to 20 percent of his body when Brannon ignited a container of ﬂammable liquid and threw it at him. That happened Thursday in a garage in Rootstown Township, 55 miles south of Cleveland. A message seeking comment was left with Brannon’s attorney. Two deputies were treated for smoke inhalation. Doak says Acklin is just 70 days from retiring. Most people know certain foods and drinks are bad for teeth. Sugary drinks, such as soda/pop and juice, are deﬁnitely on this list. Unfortunately, these are often the favorite drinks for kids. When someone has a sugary drink, the sugar latches on the teeth. Bacteria in the mouth eat away at the sugar and then produce acid. Eventually, this acid begins to eat away and weaken the enamel on the teeth, which increases the chances of developing tooth decay. So what can you do? The best way to Juli reduce the risk of tooth decay caused Simpson by sugary drinks is to avoid them Contributing when possible. Drinking your calories columnist just doesn’t make good sense, not to mention the damage these high calorie and high sugar beverages can have do to your overall health. Make water the primary drink choice for you and your family, and make sugary drinks only a ‘sometimes’ drink, if at all. After drinking a sugary drink, make sure to rinse with a few drinks of water to ﬂush the mouth and remove as much sugar from the teeth as possible. Using a toothpaste and mouthwash containing ﬂuoride can also help to reduce cavities and strengthen tooth enamel. Seeing a dentist regularly is vitally important, as well. Remember to “Rethink your Drink” before sipping, and take the time to care for your dental health. Juli Simpson is a Health Educator with the Meigs County Health Department. Introducing ...

Exactly one year later, the month of February was set aside for its ﬁrst formal celebration. By 1976, the concept would be celebrated across the United States; even being spotlighted by President Ford during America’s Bicentennial as a way to honor the accomplishments of blacks throughout our nation’s history. Although today, instead of incorporating black history into the mainstream presentation of history conducted throughout the year, U.S. education continues to treat the two separately. Notably, in 1926, Negro History Week was ﬁrst conceived after the idea was spearheaded by black historian Carter Woodson. Thereafter, the second week of February was designated for this purpose since it included the birthdays of President Lincoln and black statesman Frederick Douglass, which had been celebrated by blacks since the 1800s. Yet today, even though Abraham Lincoln’s birthday is included with Mark George Washington’s in the celebraFigley Contributing tion of Presidents Day on the third Monday in February, the exploits of columnist Douglass have unfortunately been lost over time. Who exactly was this man of mixed race (Native American and black, with a white father) born into slavery, though destined for greatness as a champion of equal rights for all? Frederick Douglass was certainly far from ordinary. Not just a strong believer in the abolition of slavery, he believed in economic freedom and the importance of the individual. A classic libertarian, Douglass held the highest respect for the Constitution and believed it was the key in eliminating the scourge of slavery while inspiring blacks to succeed of their own accord. Timothy Sandefur, author of “Frederick Douglass: Self-Made Man,” notes that Douglass had high regard for men of initiative “who owe little or nothing to birth, relationship, friendly surroundings; to wealth inherited or to early approved means of education; who are what they are, without the aid of any of the favoring conditions by which other men usually rise in the world and achieve great results.” Learning the basics of reading from white children, Douglass went on to self-reﬁne this skill as a youth while secretly teaching himself how to write as well. Throughout his life, he remained a strong proponent of literacy and education as noted in his autobiographies, where he wrote that “knowledge is the pathway from slavery to freedom.” This was reinforced through Douglass’s efforts to educate other slaves on a regular basis. In the last major speech of his life, he told an audience, “Education means emancipation. It means light and liberty.” And he held that reason and speech were results of education necessary in overcoming tyranny. Douglass also held strong beliefs on race relations, and ﬁrmly opposed the modern-day concept of racial identity politics when he said, “It was not the race or the color of the negro that won him the battle for liberty. That great battle was won …. because the victim of slavery was a man and a brother to all other men, a child of God, and …. entitled to justice, liberty and equality before the law, and everywhere else.” In stark contrast with present-day politicians, Douglass was a man willing to join with those of any political persuasion to support a just cause. Those of similar character are rarely seen within the halls of power, yet Douglass’ words continue to resonate loudly and clearly in a world enamored with grandiose thoughts of social justice, racial preferences and politically-correct speech. Repulsed by the idea that men would sacriﬁce God-given freedoms and reasoned thought in exchange for governmental guarantees of success tied to a lessened self-reliance, his traditional beliefs are certainly worthy of being included in our current-day arena of ideas. Frederick Douglass was many things; statesman, social activist, orator, pastor, author and abolitionist. And his many achievements qualify him to be discussed not just as a black American hero each February, but one who should be acknowledged throughout the year.

THEIR VIEW Going around in circles over traffic If you’re going to have friends (and I strongly recommend that you do), have friends that are smart and helpful. I am lucky enough to have several of these. One of them, Elizabeth, reads my column and says encouraging things. This is just about the best thing that can happen to a writer. After Elizabeth read my article on four-way stops, she had a few comments. One of them was “Good column.” Another was “I enjoyed it.” Now you see why I really like Elizabeth. It’s her unerring taste in prose. But perhaps the very best thing she said was, “You should do a column on trafﬁc circles.” There is only one thing better than getting a story idea — and that is getting a usable story idea. Any discussion of this sort should start out with the observation there are two kinds of people in the world: those that like trafﬁc circles and those that love trafﬁc circles. That there is anyone in the driving universe (and in this demographic I include cars, trucks, motorcycles, pedi-cabs, and ox carts) who is not a fan of trafﬁc circles is beyond my comprehension.

Trafﬁc backs up at that intersection badly and it is the very place I had in mind when I ranted against four-way stops. Again, to repeat … going is good. Stopping is bad. Plus look at the money we citizens would save not paying for those mostly-ignored blinking lights. David Lindeman wrote eruditely about navigating the Troy roundabout last June, including his experiences with crossing the streets around the circle on foot. Last night, I did the same. There wasn’t much trafﬁc, the visibility was good, I had on a bright red coat, and I had had two beers so this was about as good as conditions were going to get. Miraculously, just like David, I didn’t get run over, either. Drivers actually stopped for me and several gave me a cheery wave to indicate no hard feelings for making them, you know, stop.

Today’s Highlight in History: On Feb. 17, 1864, during the Civil War, the Union ship USS Housatonic was rammed and sunk in Charleston Harbor, South Carolina, by the Confederate hand-cranked submarine HL Hunley in the ﬁrst naval attack of its kind; the Hunley also sank. On this date: In 1801, the U.S. House of Representatives broke an electoral tie between Thomas Jefferson and Aaron Burr, electing Jefferson president; Burr became vice president. In 1815, the United States and Britain exchanged the instruments of ratiﬁcation for the Treaty of Ghent, ending the War of 1812. In 1865, during the Civil War, Columbia, South Carolina, burned as the Confederates evacuated and Union forces moved in. In 1897, the forerunner of the National PTA, the National Congress of Mothers, convened its ﬁrst meeting in Washington. In 1933, Newsweek magazine was ﬁrst published under the title “News-Week.” �NEWS Sunday Times-Sentinel Sunday, February 17, 2019 5A In order to be eligible for reinstatement fee reduction: applicants must have completed all court-ordered sancFrom page 1A tions related to the eligible offense other than payment of or money order payable to reinstatement fees; and at least “Gallipolis Municipal Court” — Eric Mulford 18 months must have passed to the address listed above; Gallipolis Municipal Judge since the end of the period of online with a credit or debit the suspension ordered by the card at gmcourt.org; or by callcourt. on Friday, March 22. ing Court Solutions at (844) Applicants for the fee reducMulford took the opportuni390-3558, although the provider does add an extra fee for ty in announcing the program tion or amnesty must complete BMV Form 2829.

The site visit will include interviews with staff, Board of Health members, community partners and others to allow the evaluators to check the accuracy of the documentation. Following a site visit, the accreditation committee will make a decision on accreditation. Health departments are either accredited for ﬁve years or not accredited. If not accredited, the health department has an opportunity to submit an action plan. If the action plan is approved by the Accreditation committee, and the health department is able to show signiﬁcant improvement, they could become accredited. Failure to submit an action plan will result in the health department not being accredited. Once accredited, health departments must submit annual reports to PHAB and reapply for accreditation every ﬁve years.

Quilt trails are one-ofa-kind trails that stitch together communities through the unique language of quilt squares. The ﬁrst quilt trail in West Virginia began in Mason County in 2001. There are 30 quilt squares on area barns spread across multiple driving trails. In 2007, the Gallia County Convention and Visitors Bureau started the Quilt Barn Trail in Gallia County as a way to promote local history and tourism to the lesser visited areas of Gallia. Former Gallia Tourism Director Bob Hood and the late Ray McKinniss, Bob Evans Farm manager, witnessed the original quilt trail started by Donna Groves by the Ohio Arts Council. McKinniss and Hood brought the idea back and implemented it locally. “Originally, Bob Evans gave the initial seed money and all the materials and labor for the ﬁrst two squares at the farm,” said Hood in a previous interview with Ohio Valley Publishing. Denny Bellamy, director of the Mason County Convention and Visitors Bureau, has credited local quilters Mollie Yauger and Jane Coles with helping jump start the project, along with help from the late Dwight Jeffrey who sadly passed away earlier this year. Bellamy also credited other local volunteers, including students from the Mason County Career Center who helped cut the wooden squares. He said the trail evolved over a period of time with the most recent quilt square dedicated a few of years ago. He added, grants were received to complete the trail without any cost to the taxpayer. Quilt squares cost around $300, each. “The 30 we built didn’t cost the owners a dime,” Bellamy said in a previous interview with Ohio Valley Publishing. “We bought the material, we bought the paint and went to the carpentry class at the career center who built all the quilt squares…then those went to Mollie Yauger’s farm, Dwight (Jeffery) sketched the design and Mollie and Jane’s quilt club members would paint them.” Bellamy added, local high school students would put up the squares as part of their community service fulﬁllment for graduation. “The process of building it (the trail) was over a period of years,” Bellamy said. “It takes time and you’ve got all these people working on it.

The Southern boys basketball — which fell to archrival Eastern by a 70-59 tally on Dec. 7 in Racine — avenged that setback on Friday in ‘The Nest’, defeating the host Eagles by a 54-50 in TriValley Conference Hocking Division play. All-4 of the game’s lead changes came within the ﬁrst eight minutes, with the Tornadoes (12-9, 10-6 TVC Hocking) ending the opening quarter with back-to-back three-pointers and an 11-7 lead. Southern’s lead grew as high as nine points, at 19-10, in the ﬁrst three minutes of the second quarter, but a 13-to-4 run by the Eagles (11-10, 8-7) tied the game at 23 with 22 seconds left in the half. The guests went into the break with a 25-23 lead, however, as Cole Steele sank a buzzer-beater for Purple and Gold. SHS scored eight of the ﬁrst 10 points of the second half, before an EHS three-pointer cut the margin to 33-28 with ﬁve minutes left in the third. Southern — which didn’t commit a turnover and shot 60 percent from the ﬁeld in the third quarter — closed the period with a 10-to-3 run and a 43-31 advantage. Eastern fought back yet again, beginning the fourth quarter with a 16-to-4 spurt, and tying the game at 47 with a Sharp Facemyer trifecta with 2:48 to play. The Tornadoes reestablished the lead with a Jensen Anderson threepointer 50 seconds later, and then Weston Thorla added a two-pointer to make it a two-possession game with 1:15 to play. Eastern trimmed its deﬁcit to three points, but Thorla and Trey McNickle both stole the ball in the ﬁnal 30 seconds to help seal the 54-50 victory. Following the contest, SHS head coach Jeff Caldwell commended his team’s resiliency and talked about key elements to the win. “This is a big one for us,” Caldwell said. “I’m proud of our guys, because they showed resiliency tonight.

Credit goes to Eastern, making that run, Sharp Facemyer had a heck of a game. Our seniors made some big shots there, Jensen hit the three and Weston hit the two to put us up ﬁve, so I’m proud of those guys for doing that. “This is a team-win, holding them to ﬁve offensive rebounds was big tonight, and then the steals were big too. I’m proud of our guys, this is a nice win. We can take the weekend off and then we can really start getting ready for tournaments.” Eastern head coach David Kight gave credit to the Tornadoes for the defensive game plan, and pointed out some inconsistency in the EHS offense. “They came out and jumped in a 1-3-1, which was a good move by Coach Caldwell,” Kight said. “We were trying to get them to penetrate the gaps, ﬁnd the middle of the ﬂoor, throw the diagonal, and push the ball ahead. We weren’t as aggressive as I would have liked us to have been when we came out. Anytime we did push it ahead and get the ball down by the baseline, we got good looks and scored, we just couldn’t do it consistently throughout the night to come out with the win.

We’re going to really value that week to get everybody healthy, get some good practices in, and prepare. Some guys probably need to get their conditioning back, where they’ve been under the weather, so I think the break is going to be a good thing for us.” Eastern will wrap up its regular season in a rescheduled game at Trimble on Wednesday.

Junior Hannah Rose poured in a game-high 19 points and became the eighth girl in Wahama basketball history to eclipse 1,000 points in a career Thursday night during a 44-34 decision over visiting Miller in a Tri-Valley Conference Hocking Division contest at Gary Clark Court in Mason County. Rose — a threeyear starting guard and two-time all-state selection — became the ﬁrst Lady Falcon to eclipse quadruple digits in a career since Sierra Carmichael accomplished the same feat during the 2013-14 campaign. Rose entered the game needing only three points to join the illustrious group, and did so with around two minutes remaining in the ﬁrst quarter after her stepback trifecta from the right wing found nothing but the bottom of the net. Wahama (10-12, 7-9 TVC Hocking) ultimately built a 9-4 lead in that opening frame and never looked back as the Red and White managed to salvage a season split with Miller (11-11, 6-10). The Purple and White posted a 38-32 victory in the ﬁrst matchup in Corning back on Dec. 20, 2017. Rose — who joins the likes of Carmichael, Amber Tully, Taylor Hysell, Julia Hoffman, Keith Ann Sayre, Cara Blessing and Lori Zuspan in the WHS 1,000-point club for girls — was thrilled to join such an elusive group of outstanding basketball players.

More importantly, she was glad to accomplish the feat in a victory. “It’s truly an amazing feeling to reach 1,000 points for my career. I really pushed myself to do this before my junior year ended, and I’m glad I was able to hit a three early to get to an even thousand. I’m also glad that this is over because it feels like a lot of weight has been lifted from me,” Rose said. “The thing that really makes this special is that we were able to get a win. It makes this a little easier to celebrate and enjoy.” Emma Gibbs poured in four points during a 9-4 ﬁrst quarter run, then Rose added seven markers as part of a 15-5 second period surge that extended the Wahama lead out to 24-9 at the intermission. Miller, however, countered with seven points from Askya McFann as part of a 17-9 run that closed the gap down to 33-26 entering the ﬁnale. Rose added another seven points down the stretch run as the hosts made an 11-8 run to close out regulation, wrapping up the 10-point outcome. The Red and White made 15 total ﬁeld goals — including two trifectas — and also went 12-of-30 at the free throw line for 40 percent. Gibbs followed Rose with 15 points, while Torre VanMatre chipped in four markers. Both Harley Roush and Bailee Bumgarner completed the winning tally with three points each.

Season-long tribute planned to pioneering 1869 Red Stockings CINCINNATI (AP) — The Cincinnati Reds are fashionably celebrating the 150th anniversary of the professional baseballpioneering Red Stockings team.

Baseball’s ﬁrst openly all-salaried club, the Red Stockings popularized eye-catching uniforms with knickerstyle pants and bright red socks while elevating the sports with a variety of innovations. “From a historical point of view and in the evolution of baseball as the national pastime, the 1869 Red Stockings were the cornerstone,” said Greg Rhodes, the Reds team historian and coauthor of “The First Boys of Summer.” ”It’s hard to imagine the modern game of baseball without the Red Stockings.” signing player-manager Harry Wright’s younger brother George, a star who had been teamhopping. That ﬁrst payroll totaled around $10,000 for 10 players. How good were they? Thorn considers the 1869 squad among the best all-time teams.

Bartrum inks with Ohio Dominican By Alex Hawley ahawley@aimmediamidwest.com ROCKSPRINGS, Ohio — A new Panther on the prowl. On Thursday in Meigs High School’s Larry R. Morrison Gymnasium, senior wide receiver Zach Bartrum signed his National Letter of Intent to join the Ohio Dominican University football team. Bartrum — who hauled in 118 passes for 14 touchdowns and over 1,500 yards in four seasons as a Marauder — discussed why ODU was the right choice to continue his academic and athletic careers, and thanked those who’ve helped him reach this point. “I chose Ohio Dominican after I went for a game visit this football season,” said Bartrum. “The campus was great and everything, but I didn’t really get to go anywhere because it was raining like crazy. We just went to the game, and I loved the atmosphere. We went to an ofﬁcial visit two months ago, and I just fell in love with the campus, the coaching staff and everything about the school. I knew it was the right ﬁt for me and my family. “Thanks to everyone, from the coaching staffs that I’ve had, to the teachers, the alumni, everyone who has always been behind me and the teams that we had.” In his four seasons on the squad, the Marauders are 18-22, including 13-11 in the Tri-Valley Conference Ohio Division. In each his sophomore, junior and senior seasons, Bartrum was named to the All-Ohio special mention list, All-District ﬁrst team offense, and the AllTVC ﬁrst team. Each of his ﬁnal three years as a Marauder also featured a careerbest in the receiving category, with 556 yards as a sophomore, six touchdowns in his junior campaign, and 46 receptions this past fall. Even with all the numbers and accolades racked up, Zach’s father and high school coach Mike Bartrum — who recently moved on from the Marauders after seven seasons — talked about another reason his second-oldest son stands out. “I suppose that Zach is pretty special because of his middle name, Fenton,” Coach Bartrum said. “Grandpa didn’t get to be here today, but I think he represented Grandpa pretty well in the last 3-or-4 years since Grandpa’s been gone. That’s more special than any accolades, on or off the ﬁeld, just knowing that you’re representing Mr. Taylor, who was our Principal and our coach here. “As far as at the next level, they want him to try out as a slot receiver. I think that’d be a good ﬁt for him, not as a dad, but as a coach. He’s got some intangibles you can’t coach, as far as being able to go get the ball. He has decent hands, runs pretty good routes, but he needs to run better routes. He runs pretty fast, but he needs to run faster, and he’s pretty quick, but he needs to be quicker, especially at that level.” Zach will join a Panthers squad led by head coach Kelly Cummings. Coach Cummings — who played against Coach Bartrum in a Marshall vs. Eastern Kentucky game — has completed three seasons as ODU head coach, and led the squad to a 9-2 mark a year ago. Zach — who holds a 3.89 grade-pointaverage, placing him 15th in the MHS Class of 2019 — talked about his goals once he gets to Columbus, both on the ﬁeld and in the classroom. “Athletically, I just want to get in there and do whatever I can do to help the team win and keep building the culture that they already have there,” Bartrum said. “Academically, I’m going to pursue exercise physiology, exercise science, or kinesiology, one of those majors.” Ohio Dominican is an NCAA Division II school that competes in the Great Midwest Athletic Conference. In addition to playing football at Meigs, Zach has been a four-year member of the basketball team and a threeyear member of the track and ﬁeld team. �SPORTS Sunday Times-Sentinel Sunday, February 17, 2019 5B What do you know about American Crows?

Given the totality of the evening, HHS coach Shawn Coleman noted that it was about as special of an evening that anyone could ask for on Senior Night. “I’m proud for the kids because they had fun tonight. It was nice to send the seniors out in this fashion, and it was nice to see some of the kids that don’t normally play as much get in there and have some fun with it too,” Coleman said. “Again, I’m glad the kids were able to enjoy tonight, but we have to get back to work because we have a tough team in Tolsia coming in here Tuesday … and then it’s tournament time. We still have a long way to go.” The Wildcats outrebounded PCHS by a 42-31 overall margin, including an 18-10 edge on the offensive glass.

Fresh faces give Daytona 500 throwback feel DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. (AP) — Among those trying to win the Daytona 500 this year are a Florida watermelon farmer, a short-track champion from New England, a television analyst and a 22-year-old whose career nearly was derailed by a brain tumor. The front row is the youngest in Daytona 500 history and it will be William Byron, a Liberty University student who had his wisdom teeth removed in the offseason, leading the ﬁeld to green in Sunday’s showcase race to kick off the NASCAR season. The overall look of the nation’s top racing series has undergone a transformation the last few seasons and proof is plastered on the hood of Corey LaJoie’s car. His full facial-haired face adorns his Ford Mustang, which easily makes him the most recognizable driver among the eight Daytona 500 rookies in the ﬁeld. “He looks like he’s going to eat you every lap,” quipped Clint Bowyer. LaJoie’s paint scheme for his low-budget team is courtesy of sponsor Old Spice, which chose “The Great American Race” to promote its dry shampoo. Manscaped.com bought the space on the back of Landon Cassill’s car, Bubba Wallace signed Aftershokz headphones for the race. After Casey Mears made the ﬁeld — his ﬁrst race in two years — skateboard rim maker Rim Ryderz joined his program. This Daytona 500 is unlike any in recent memory and truly highlights the dramatic loss of star power from just four years ago. The 2015 race featured Jeff Gordon, Dale Earnhardt Jr., Tony Stewart, Matt Kenseth, Carl Edwards, Bobby Labonte, Michael Waltrip and Danica Patrick. All are now retired. Some of the big-money sponsors in that race included Lowe’s, Target, Dollar General, GoDaddy and 5-Hour Energy. All have since pulled out of NASCAR. What remains is a new-look NASCAR that nonetheless has a throw- back feel. NASCAR was built on the premise that if a budding driver or team owner could scrape together the funds to ﬁeld a car, they could bring it down to the beach and try to make the big show. As the sport exploded past its Southern origins, it became nearly impossible for a new driver to claw his way into a ride. But change has created opportunity — even second and third chances for a guy like Ross Chastain. The eighth-generation watermelon farmer impressed a sponsor with his work ethic and landed a career-changing ride with unexpected funding. Federal agents raided the sponsor right before Christmas, but Chastain still managed to land a seat for his ﬁrst Daytona 500. Ryan Preece bounced back and forth between NASCAR and New England short tracks before ﬁnally gambling on his future. He settled for a part-time job with a competitive team because he believed he could show his true talent if given the right equipment. Now he’s also a Daytona 500 rookie. Same with Matt Tifft, who learned he had a brain tumor four races into his 2016 season. Or Daniel Hemric of Kannapolis, North Carolina, who followed hero Dale Earnhardt Sr. from the old mill town into a ride with Richard Childress Racing. Parker Kligerman, a part-time racer and fulltime television personality, raced his way into his second Daytona 500. “Watching this race last year, I literally thought I’d never drive a Cup car again, never have another chance in the Daytona 500,” Kligerman said. “I’m doing TV full-time. It just didn’t seem like I was really getting anyone’s attention. For whatever reason, I just couldn’t ﬁnd the right opportunity, couldn’t ﬁnd a sponsor.” “I went off and did the TV thing. You’ve seen drivers do that before, where they do something to up their proﬁle, then they get back in a ride. It kind of feels like it’s ﬁnally all starting to work.” canopy.

The league, about to celebrate its 100th season, faced criticism from all sides thanks to the protest movement started by Kaepernick. Many Kaepernick supporters wanted to see him back on the ﬁeld, while other fans said they wouldn’t watch if the league allowed players to protest during the national anthem. The league and Kaepernick’s lawyer sent out statements Friday saying that “the parties have decided to resolve the pending grievances” and that a conﬁdentiality agreement would prevent either side from commenting further. It remains unclear if the NFL admitted wrongdoing or how much money Reid, Kaepernick or others may have received. Considering the lost salary both players claimed and legal costs, the settlement could have climbed into the tens of millions of dollars. “For the past several months, counsel for Mr. Kaepernick and Mr. Reid have engaged in an ongoing dialogue with representatives of the NFL,” the league statement said. “As a result of those discussions, the parties have decided to resolve the pending grievances. The resolution of this matter is subject to a conﬁdentiality agreement so there will be no further comment by any party.” Kaepernick’s lawyer Mark Geragos tweeted a similar statement . The protests slowed down this season, as the NFL made contributions to organizations chosen by players and promised more attention to social justice issues. But the controversy reignited every time there was a development in the case. A hearing was scheduled for later this month. Kaepernick and Reid ﬁled collusion grievances against the league, saying they were blacklisted because of protests during the national anthem at games. Kaepernick has not played in the league since 2016, while Reid missed three games last season before signing with Carolina. Kaepernick contended the owners violated their collective bargaining agreement with players by conspiring to keep him off teams. While the players seemed intent on pursuing the cases, the league might not have been eager for those deposed — including Commissioner Roger Goodell and several owners and league executives — to appear. Still, for the players to prove collusion is a mighty challenge because, according to the 2011 labor agreement between the union and league, a “club, its employees or agents” must have “entered into an agreement” to limit contract offers. Kaepernick ﬁled his grievance in August 2017. Arbitrator Stephen B. Burbank sent it to trial, denying the league’s request to throw out the former 49ers quarterback’s claims. Burbank’s decision meant there was enough evidence of collusion to keep the grievances going. A wave of protests by NFL players began in 2016 after Kaepernick kneeled during the national anthem to call attention to police brutality and racial inequality. The protests grew into one of the most polarizing issues in sports, with President Donald Trump loudly urging the league to suspend or ﬁre players who demonstrate during “The Star-Spangled Banner.” While he has been away from the playing ﬁeld, Kaepernick has become an advocate for battling social and racial injustice.
