Clinton Bailey pleaded no contest last week to a charge of Dangerous Wild Animal Prohibitions, a ﬁrst-degree misdemeanor. Bailey, 47, of Long Bottom, was indicted in January 2018 on two counts of Animal Fighting, each misdemeanors of the fourth degree, three counts of Animal Fighting, each unclassiﬁed felonies, and nine counts of Dangerous Wild Animal Prohibitions, each misdemeanors of the ﬁrst degree. The remaining 15 charges against Bailey were dismissed in accordance with the plea agreement. Bailey was ordered to pay a $1,000 ﬁne and court costs in the case. Ten others were charged in connection with the case. Many of those individuals have had their charges dismissed, with a pretrial in the lone open case scheduled to be held next week. According to previous Sentinel reports, the Ohio Department of Agriculture Enforcement Division executed a search warrant in November 2017 at Bailey’s residence for alleged “bearbaiting”. Bearbaiting is deﬁned under the animal ﬁghting section of the Ohio Revised Code. �OBITUARIES/NEWS 2 Wednesday, February 20, 2019 Daily Sentinel OBITUARIES JOHN RAY HUNNELL GLOUSTER — John Ray Hunnell of Glouster, Ohio, passed away in his home at the age of 64 on Sunday, Jan. 27, 2019.

The Mason County educators picketing near their schools on Tuesday wanted the community to show their support towards their stand against Senate Bill 451 by honking their car horns. Pictured are teachers from Point Pleasant Primary School. Teachers taking a stand together Work stoppage to continue Wednesday By Erin Perkins eperkins@aimmediamidwest.com MASON COUNTY — Teachers across the state stood together for a statewide work stoppage on Tuesday in opposition of the Education Senate Bill 451 (SB 451) and though the West Virginia House of Delegates tabled the bill indeﬁnitely, the work stoppage will continue on into Wednesday. Jack Cullen, Mason County superintendent, reported Mason County Schools, will remain closed Wednesday for staff and students due to the ongoing work stoppage. At the last regularly scheduled Mason County Board of the Education meeting, board members President Jared Billings, Vice President Meagan Bonecutter, Ashley Cossin, Dale Shobe, and Rhonda Tennant approved a resolution opposing SB 451. The resolution stated, “The Mason County Board of Education opposes SB 451, the Omnibus Education Bill, and urges the West Virginia Legislature to pass the Governor’s pay raise bill and engage West Virginia’s education stakeholders in developing meaningful education reforms necessary to improve educational outcomes for all children served by West Virginia’s public schools.” Cullen explained though a few sections of the bill were not so bad, the entirety of the bill is an attack on the public school system. The notion of creating charter schools would take away not only child count funds, but also reduce staff. Though students could have the option to go to charter schools or private schools rather than public schools, there is no literature supporting a signiﬁcant difference in education for the students at charter schools or private schools and taking funding from the public school system will only hurt public schools, added Cullen. Mason County teachers also shared with the Register their views of Photos by Erin Perkins | OVP Teachers from Point Pleasant Intermediate School standing together against Education Senate Bill 451 on Tuesday for the work stoppage. Despite bill’s demise, W Va teachers to strike for 2nd day By John Raby The Associated Press CHARLESTON, W.Va. — West Virginia teachers will remain on strike for a second day despite a move by the House of Delegates to effectively kill a complex education bill that had sent them to the picket lines. The leaders of three unions representing teachers and school service personnel made the announcement Tuesday night that the walkout will continue Wednesday. Earlier, the Republican-led House voted 53-45 to indeﬁnitely table the bill that the unions oppose. That means the bill won’t go to the next step: a committee of Senate and House members who would try to come up with a compromise. Without being speciﬁc, West Virginia Education Association President Dale Lee said the unions believe there’s still a small chance there could be further developments with the legislation. Joe White, executive director of the West Virginia School Service Personnel Association, said that based on a conference call with union members, “the trust is not there.” American Federation of Teachers’ West Virginia chapter President Fred Albert said the unions’ trust in the House has been somewhat restored, but “we cannot trust the leadership in the Senate,” which has tried to rush the bill to passage. “We are staying out one more day to make sure that this is a dead bill tomorrow,” Albert said. Senate President Mitch Carmichael said he was disappointed in the House’s action. “Today the champions of the status quo won,” Carmichael said. “But that will not stop progress. They’re on the wrong side of history. Other states are moving forward. It’s a marker in the process of education reform. It’s not the end. The students, parents and teachers lost.” the work stoppage and SB 451. “We voted to give our leadership the decision and this is the decision they told us, to come out today because of the house bill 451,” said Point Pleasant Primary School kindergarten teacher Brenda Saunders. “It’s still got all the charter schools and the ESAs (Education Savings Accounts) and they’re putting everything in that will be detrimental to public education. We really don’t want charter schools, anything that’s going to take money from public education and hurt our kids we don’t want in a bill. We’re willing to give up our pay raise if it’s going to hurt our kids.” Stephanie Morrow, Point Pleasant Intermediate School ﬁfth grade teacher, commented, “We do not agree with Senate Bill 451, it’s not good for our students, it’s not good for the state of West Virginia.” “We disagree with that Senate Bill as a whole, there’s not a piece of it that we agree with, they slid that raise in there and there are other bills that have that raise,” added Annette Cook, Point Pleasant Intermediate School sixth grade teacher. “They want to increase our classroom sizes while taking away our funding,” said Morrow. Cook added, “One of the scariest aspects of that to me is there will be no state regulations to take care of our kids.” “We want them to write the bill for school improvement with collaboration with educators, people who actually know the system, know the children of our state. They wrote this bill without consulting anyone who’s in the education system,” said Morrow. Cullen shared the same work stoppage guide approved by the Mason County Board of Education used during last year’s nine-day work stoppage is being utilized for this work stoppage. Tuesday’s work stoppage day will not have to be made up by staff and students as Cullen will be able to use equivalent time to cover it, Wednesday’s work stoppage day is to be decided.

Sen. Bernie Sanders says he’s running for president in 2020 By Juana Summers Associated Press WASHINGTON — Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders, whose insurgent 2016 presidential campaign reshaped Democratic politics, announced Tuesday that he is running for president in 2020. “Our campaign is not only about defeating Donald Trump,” the 77-year-old self-described democratic socialist said in an email to supporters. “Our campaign is about transforming our country and creating a government based on the principles of economic, social, racial and environmental justice.” An enthusiastic progressive who embraces proposals ranging from Medicare for All to free college tuition, Sanders stunned the Democratic establishment in 2016 with his spirited challenge to Hillary Clinton. While she ultimately became the party’s nominee, his campaign helped lay the groundwork for the leftward lurch that has dominated Democratic politics in the Trump era. The question now for Sanders is whether he can stand out in a crowded ﬁeld of Democratic presidential candidates who also embrace many of his policy ideas and are newer to the national political stage. That’s far different from 2016, when he was Clinton’s lone progressive adversary. Still, there is no question that Sanders will be a formidable contender for the Democratic nomination. He won more than 13 million votes in 2016 and dozens of primaries and caucuses. He opens his campaign with a nationwide organization and a proven small-dollar fundraising effort. “We’re gonna win,” Sanders told CBS. �NEWS Daily Sentinel Wednesday, February 20, 2019 3 MEIGS CALENDAR OF EVENTS Editor’s Note: The Daily Sentinel appreciates your input to the community calendar.

As a kid who grew up in Rutland, graduated from Meigs High School, and was raised by two hard-working, blue-collar, dedicated parents, I feel that I am purely a product of Meigs County. As a young man, I was taught by my entire family that to succeed in life you must be honest with everyone, caring to those around you, and willing to work harder than anyone else in the room, as well as the idea that everyone, no matter who you are, deserves a fair shot. I am obnoxiously proud to be a Meigs County native because of who we are and what we aspire to be. Being from Meigs County is not about being from a speciﬁc place, but it’s a way of acting. From Salem Center to Pomeroy to Long Bottom and everywhere in between, there is a culture and a pride that makes me obnoxiously proud to be from this great county. Brielle Newland I’m “obnoxiously proud” of Meigs County because of its amazingly supportive community. Last February when the ﬂood hit, our community came together. Everyone from MC Bikers, to Chamber Director, the judge, Bartees, and more helped victims. No one hesitates to support our neighbors, whether it’s shopping locally at Weaving Stitches and Reed’s Store or Ron Clonch and Charlie Weber going to every sporting event. Everyone is there to help family and friends through hard times and everyone is there to celebrate the good, like our bicentennial! I love the county I’ve spent 14 years and 11 months of my life in. It’s true that places make a person, but people make a place a home. I’m obnoxiously proud to call Meigs County my home. Cooper Schagel I am “obnoxiously proud” of Meigs County! Because of Meigs County, I have grown up with certain morals, ethics, values, and ideas only Meigs County could have given me. Living here I have been taught the importance of having integrity, character, and a proper work ethic. I feel very privileged and proud to have grown up surrounded by a community that values these attributes and holds them so highly. When I travel around Ohio for Junior Fair Board and 4-H events, Meigs County fair royalty visits, and Boy Scout activities, I am reminded of how special Meigs County is. If any person from another county wishes to see what a close-knit, hard working, “obnoxiously proud” community looks like, they need not look any further than Meigs County. The ambassadors are expected to attend their ﬁrst ofﬁcial event on Wednesday at the unveiling of the second Bicentennial Marker at 10 a.m. at Star Mill Park.

(Although it doesn’t seem like federal employees want any more days off, and with good reason.) It was Presidents Day, the day we set aside each year to honor the presidents. Yes, that even includes people like Franklin Pierce. When I was young, it was just David Washington’s birthday, with Lincoln Lindeman thrown in because his birthday was Contributing 10 days earlier. (Ronald Reagan also columnist was born in February, which makes you think that if you want to be a big-time president, it’s a good month — except William Henry Harrison also was born in February. So much for that idea). But in 1971 the feds decided the third Monday of February would be the day to honor Washington, Lincoln and, if you wanted to, all those other guys. The rest of us promptly forgot about it. Well, I’m here to remind you. In honor When I was of the presidents I have young, it was just 10 presidential trivia Washington’s questions for you today.

Who is the only Speaker of the House who later became president? 7. Which president fathered 15 children? 8. Who is the only president to have a foreign capital named for him? 9. What woman from Ohio was the ﬁrst woman to run for president? 10. Which president refused to be inaugurated on a Sunday? Answers: 1. Abraham Lincoln. He could do some real rasslin’ in his day. No doubt, he could have easily whupped Bobo Brazil and Hulk Hogan at the same time. 2. Rutherford B. Hayes. He mediated a big dispute in South America in 1877 which might have saved Paraguay as a nation. They love him down there. 3. Franklin Pierce. Things didn’t go so well for him, what with a crazy wife and a son dying in a train crash and Bleeding Kansas, so everyone since has stuck with the Bible. 4. John F. Kennedy, who was a little bit like James Bond himself. 5. Andrew Jackson. Supposedly the parrot was at Jackson’s house during Jackson’s funeral and had to be removed because of its foul language. Old Andy was probably laughing from beyond the grave. 6. James K. Polk. Apparently being Speaker of the House is not a good career path if you want to move into the White House. 7. John Tyler. Even more incredible, Tyler was president from 1841-1845 and he has two grandchildren who are still alive! Tyler married a young woman in his old age and had children and his son pulled the same trick, so two of Tyler’s grandsons are still around. 8. James Monroe.

THEIR VIEW Batter up! Spring training’s here Since Jan. 24, the average temperature at the Dayton International Airport has risen, the amount of daylight is increasing, the groundhog has made his prediction. All of these signs are telling us that spring is just around the corner. And perhaps there is no greater sign of the change of the seasons than those four little words most everyone knows this time of year, “Pitchers and Catchers Report.” Yes, spring training is here. Players and teams are convening to the traditional hotspots of Florida and Arizona to pitch, hit, catch, run and do all those other things that baseball players do in preparation for another grueling 162-game schedule. In the past few years, spring training around here has been met mostly with yawns and the occasional sarcastic side bet on how many games the hometown Reds were going to lose. And of course, the smart money was always on the over. Last year, the Reds broke camp in Arizona only to ﬁre their manager early in the season and meander through a season that the Royals.

If you have followed the Reds for any signiﬁcant amount of time, that name should sound familiar. His brother, Mike, actually played third base for the Reds during the 2000 season. His father, Buddy, was a longtime third baseman and manager, including a stop in Cincinnati from 19851988. And his grandfather, Gus, is a Reds legend. An outﬁelder from 1953-1961, Gus was an All-Star for four seasons and is a member of the Reds Hall of Fame. So perhaps there is a justiﬁed sense of hope with our 2019 Cincinnati Reds. If not, at least we can take comfort that spring is not too far off and we can leave this winter behind. William “Bill” Lutz is executive director of The New Path Inc.

Speaking to reporters at the White House, Trump said he expected to do “very well” against the suit, adding that he had an “absolute right” to make the declaration. “I think in the end we’re going to be very successful with the lawsuit,” Trump said. “I actually think we might do very well, even in the 9th Circuit, because it’s an open and closed case.” A group of 16 states, including California, New York and Colorado, ﬁled a lawsuit Monday against Trump’s emergency declaration. The lawsuit, ﬁled in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California by the American Civil Liberties Union. Filed on behalf of the Sierra Club and the Southern Border Communities Coalition, it says there is no emergency to justify the president’s action and accuses Trump and other members of his administration of violating Constitutional limits on their authority. Democrats are also planning to introduce a resolution disapproving of the declaration once Congress returns to session and it is likely to pass both chambers. Several Republican senators are already indicating border security.

After weeks spent battling with Congress over border funding and what constituted a wall versus a fence, Trump said, “I can call it a barrier, but I think I don’t have to do that so much anymore, we’ll call it whatever we want.” Democrats quickly seized on the move as an example of executive overreach.

For the second time in three seasons, the River Valley wrestling team placed second at the TriValley Conference Championships, with the Raiders falling 45.5 behind champion Athens on Saturday at Vinton County.

The South Gallia girls basketball team fell behind Tri-Valley Conference Hocking Division guest Trimble by nine points after eight minutes of Monday’s makeup game in Gallia County. The Lady Rebels rallied back and took a three-point advantage into the fourth quarter, but the Lady Tomcats surged back and claimed the 48-42 victory. South Gallia (6-16, 4-11 TVC Hocking) — which was already eliminated from the postseason, falling to Ironton St. Joseph in the sectional semiﬁnal — trailed Trimble by a 16-7 count eight minutes into play. The Lady Rebel defense stepped up in the second, holding Trimble to just three points in the period. SGHS came up with 10 markers in the second and headed into halftime behind by a 19-17 count. Out out the break, the Red and Gold went on a 15-to-10 run, and took a 32-29 lead into the fourth. The Lady Rebels scored 10 points in the ﬁnale, but Trimble poured in 19 and escaped with the 48-42 win. For the game, SGHS was 6-of-9 (66.7 percent) from the free throw line, where THS was 9-of-14 (64.3 percent).

Marauders move on with win Meigs outlasts South Point in OT, 48-43 By Bryan Walters bwalters@aimmediamidwest.com JACKSON, Ohio — Better to have a bruised body than a bruised ego. It was rough and it was tough, but the Meigs boys basketball team came up with just enough answers in the overtime session Monday night to claim a hard-fought 48-43 victory over ninth-seeded South Point in a Division III sectional semiﬁnal contest at Jackson High School. The eighth-seeded Marauders (13-10) hit nine of their ﬁrst 10 shots of the game while building their largest lead of the night at 19-9 with a minute left in the ﬁrst, but the Pointers (8-15) turned up their defensive effort and held the hosts to just nine made ﬁeld goals the rest of the way — all while gradually whittling away at that early deﬁcit. The Blue and Gold picked up a quick four points to end the opening canto down 19-13, then made a 6-2 run over the ﬁrst three minutes of the second frame to close to Meigs freshman Ty Bartrum releases a shot attempt over a South Point defender during the second half of Monday night’s Division III sectional semifinal contest at Jackson High School in Jackson, Ohio. within 21-19. The Maroon and Gold, however, made an 11-4 surge over the ﬁnal 4:26 of the ﬁrst half, allowing Meigs to turn a slim one possession edge into a more-comforting 32-23 cushion at the intermission. Austin Webb capped a quick 7-0 run with an old-fashioned 3-point play at the 5:39 mark of the third, which allowed SPHS to close the gap down to 32-30. The Pointers then followed with a 5-2 spurt that ultimately led to their only advantage of the night after Marcus Malone netted a bucket at the 2:01 mark, making it a 35-34 contest. Cole Betzing answered with an offensive putback with just ﬁve seconds left in the canto, giving Meigs the lead back at 36-35. MHS coach Jeremy Hill received a technical foul shortly after the Betzing bucket went in, but the Pointers missed both free throw attempts with 2.1 seconds remaining — giving the Maroon and Gold a one-point edge headed into the ﬁnale. The game ended up tied at 38-all and again at 41-all with 58 seconds left, then Meigs turned the ball over with 11.9 seconds showing — forcing South Point to have to go the length of the ﬂoor for the potential game-winner. The Pointers, however, turned the ball over less than a second later while trying to inbound the ball against full-court pressure — giving Meigs possession underneath its own basket with 10.6 seconds remaining. Weston Baer’s shot attempt missed the mark, then Brody Blackwell releases a decent look at a trifecta just before the buzzer sounded — but the ball came up short of its mark and the contest headed into overtime. During that extra fourminute session, South Point missed all six of its shot attempts and mustered only two free throws from Nakyan Turner with 21.5 seconds left. By then, the Marauders had already reeled off ﬁve straight points and were clinging to a 46-41 See MARAUDERS | 7 �SPORTS/TV Daily Sentinel Wednesday, February 20, 2019 7 OVCS rallies past Lady Eagles, 52-47 TVC From page 6 and 145-pound weight classes respectively, both going 3-0.

With the win, Meigs advances to the sectional championship game at 6 p.m. Friday when it takes on top-seeded Wheelersburg at Jackson High School. After shooting 81 percent in the opening eight minutes, the Marauders went just 9-of-35 over the rest of the evening. The hosts, however, made their only ﬁeld goal attempt in the extra session and also went 5-of-8 at the foul line over that span. South Point was also in the bonus with 1:07 remaining in the third period, and the guests went just 1-of-5 at the charity stripe over the ﬁnal nine minutes of regulation before going to overtime. Both teams lost two starters apiece by game’s end, with three of the four being lost to fouls. MHS freshman Coulter Cleland also left the contest with 5:39 remaining in the third canto after aggravating a prior knee injury. He returned brieﬂy in the third before sitting out the ﬁnal 12 minutes of the game. Simply put, it was the kind of tournament game that tests every part of your team’s makeup. And, as Hill noted afterwards, the Marauders somehow found a way to answer the bell. “The credit goes to the kids tonight because they are very strong-willed and they aren’t afraid to battle. We never rolled over or played dead, and we sure didn’t give up. I haven’t had ball clubs like that in the past, but these kids have some true grit … and they showed it tonight,” Hill said. “We didn’t play our best basketball game by any stretch of the imagination, but we were able to do some things that propelled us into a victory. “I told the kids about a story called David and Goliath near the end of the game. Little David believed he could beat the giant, and the giant is Wheelersburg. I told them that South Point is playing its heart out, and if we don’t believe that can we beat the giant — then let’s let them know so that they can play in the next round. Our kids responded and answered the challenge. They wanted to take on the giant, and that’s what we are going to start preparing for.” The Marauders outrebounded SPHS by a sizable 31-22 overall margin, including an 11-9 edge on the offensive glass. The Maroon and Gold also committed 16 of the 29 turnovers in the contest, with ﬁve of those coming during the Pointers’ 12-4 third quarter charge. Meigs netted 18-of-46 ﬁeld goal attempts for 39 percent, including a 3-of10 effort from behind the arc for 30 percent. The hosts were also 9-of-17 at the free throw line for 53 percent. Baer paced MHS with 19 points, with all but two of those coming in the ﬁrst half. Cooper Darst was next with eight points, followed by Cleland with six points and Ty Bartrum with ﬁve markers. Zach Bartrum was next with four points, while Betzing, Nick Lilly and Wyatt Hoover completed the winning tally with two points each. Hoover hauled in a team-high seven rebounds and Zach Bartrum was next with six boards. Lilly ad Ty Bartrum also grabbed ﬁve caroms apiece in the triumph. The Pointers made 15-of-45 shot attempts for 33 percent, including a 3-of-16 effort from 3-point territory for 19 percent. The Blue and Gold also went 10-of-18 at the charity stripe for 56 percent.

The other wants to scratch a sevenyear itch. Both Wahama and Point Pleasant have legitimate opportunities to fulﬁll top-level goals this weekend during the 2019 WVSSAC Wrestling Championships being held at Big Sandy Superstore Arena in Cabell County. Each program is sending multiple entrants to the 72nd annual event, and a total of 16 student-athletes will be representing both their schools and Mason County while trying to achieve the pinnacle in their chosen sport. The Big Blacks — who ended the regular season as the top-ranked Class AA team in the state — are gunning for their ﬁrst state crown since the last of a Class AA-A three-peat in 2012, while the White Falcons are hoping to secure the program’s ﬁrst-ever individual title.

The Red and Black also have eight wrestlers making a return trip to the state tournament, including a trio of placers from a year ago. Wahama is sending two grapplers to the Class AA-A championships, and both were competitors in this same event last winter. The Red and White also picked up the program’s ﬁrst Region IV divisional champion in ﬁve postseasons en route to state. The big story entering the weekend is Point Pleasant, which is looking to add to its already impressive trophy case and program lore. The Big Blacks have gone consecutive tournaments without an individual state champion, but Point does have one former title-winner returning this weekend in senior George Smith. Smith — who won the Class AAA 106-pound crown as a freshman in 2016 — is also the only senior that PPHS has in the tournament ﬁeld this weekend. Smith was a regional champion two weeks ago at Williamstown and enters the 132-pound division with a 39-7 overall record. The Big Blacks — with 13 underclassmen — may appear young on paper, but they also account for seven state returnees in a group Short-Stay Rehabilitation that just set the program record for both points (321.5) and divisional champions at a Region IV tournament. The junior class has six entrants and four state returnees, which includes Region IV champions Logan Southall (31-6) at 160 pounds and Juan Marquez (3213) at 182 pounds. Jacob Muncy (25-7) returns to state after placing second at regionals in the heavyweight division, while Zac Samson (33-11) is also making a repeat appearance at state following a third place performance at 152 pounds. Nazar Abbas (2915) and Wyatt Stanley (31-12) are making their state debuts this weekend at 170 and 220 pounds, respectively. Three of the ﬁve sophomores advancing were in this same spot a year ago, and two of them ended up ﬁnishing in the top-six of their respective divisions. Christopher Smith (38-5) and Mitchell Freeman (41-6) both joined George Smith in placing at the Class AA-A meet last winter, and each secured Region IV championships two weeks ago. Freeman will be competing 138 pounds, while the younger Smith SWING BED SERVICE WHAT IS SWING BED?
