On Wednesday evening, Union leaders from the three unions representing teachers and school service personnel in the state called an end to the strike, saying classrooms would reopen on Thurs day.

In Meigs County, the Underground Railroad was in operation about 40 years prior to the start of the Civil War.

Later (but before the Missouri Compromise) it became known as the border between the Northern United States and the Southern United States. The Ohio River is sometimes considered as the western exten sion of the Mason-Dixon Line.

The man started for Virginia to inform the Wagners and to put them on her track. Some of the party from the shop soon overtook the woman and guided her to the house of a Mr. Crandle, a poor man, but a noble citizen, who lived in an “out of the way” place, where she could be provided for until the search and excitement could die away. The colored woman was hidden in an old brush fence by a shelving rock, was fed, and was well taken care of by Mrs. Crandle and family. The Wagners were soon in the neighborhood, scouring the country and offering rewards. On one occasion a very poor man from the east side of the township came loitering around the Crandle’s premises in search of deer or turkey and discovered the hiding place of the woman. Tempted by the reward offered, he started to inform the slave owners, but ﬁrst stopped at Stephen Ralph’s and told him of his plan and visions of future wealth. As soon as he left, Ralph shouldered his riﬂe and, marching through the woods, gave the alarm. By the next morning a ﬁre had destroyed the old brush fence and destroyed all traces of its recent occupant. The Wagners concluded the old hunter was a willful fraud. The woman was removed to the farm of Benjamin Bellows and secreted away until he had communicated with parties in Canada and ascertained the whereabouts of the woman’s husband. Mr. Bellows prepared a wagon with a false bottom, or double box. He put the woman in the bottom box and on the top a lot of Weaver’s reeds and started out for Canada to sell reeds. Mr. Bellows reported that he traveled one day with one of the Wagners and another party who were hunting this very woman, and that Mr. Wagner got off from his horse and helped Bellows’ wagon down a steep, rocky hill to keep it from turning over, little suspecting that the object of his search was so near him. Foiled in all other points, the Wagners determined to try the law to obtain the value of their woman chattel from Joshua Gardner. Suit was brought in Court of Common Pleas at Chester and came to trial by jury, which resulted in a verdict for the plaintiffs. An appeal was taken, and the Supreme Court held that the admissions and sayings of the woman could not be admitted to prove her identity; if she was a competent witness, she must be produced in court, but if she was a slave, she could not be a competent witness. So the case failed. According to Marcus Bosworth, after the trial, Supreme Court Judge Pease was heard to say, “that an action of trover for the recovery of stock might do in Virginia, but it would not do in Ohio unless the stock had more than two legs.” The next step was to kidnap Gardner and deal with him according to the rules of chivalry. It was reported that 12 men were seen on horseback in disguise for that purpose, but they were anticipated by a force abundantly able to resist them. There was no attack made. The expenses of this suit and trouble consequently consumed all of Mr. Gardner’s property. In 1849, he made an overland trip with the party called “The Buckeye Rovers” to California to recoup his fortune. He did and returned with enough gold dust to buy a comfortable home in Rutland, Ohio, where he enjoyed the respect and conﬁdence of his neighbors until he was 77 years old. He died March 1, 1869, in Rutland. As the old Ohio ﬂows…. Jordan Pickens is a local historian and educator. MIDDLEPORT — Pamela K.

Appalachian Power, Wheeling Power introduce incentive CHARLESTON, W.Va. — Appalachian Power, along with Wheeling Power, are offering new or expanding businesses an extra incentive to operate in West Virginia – a discount on their electric service. “We’re looking at every possible tool we can provide to make our state more competitive on a national and international scale. We want to encourage companies to come to the state and grow their business here,” said Appalachian Power President and COO Chris Beam. “We’re hoping this incentive rate will help tip the scales in West Virginia’s favor as businesses choose where to locate or expand.” The new rate applies to new or existing customers who have new demand of 500 kilowatts (kW) or more and create at least 10 jobs or invest at least $2.5 million in their West Virginia expansion. It will amount to an approximate 15 percent overall discount on their electric service. Beam said the company created the incentive rate plan to help the state attract new business and grow existing businesses. If successful, the increased electrical load would beneﬁt all customers in the state by spreading ﬁxed costs among more customers. The discount will not cause any increase to current customers’ bills. “This will give us a competitive edge to encourage existing business expansion and to attract new businesses and jobs to our region,” said David Lieving, president and CEO of the Huntington Area Development Council. “Economic development is extremely competitive, and even though we are fortunate in West Virginia to have competitive energy costs, this rate incentive will give us a great tool for new growth opportunities.” New or existing companies will work with Appalachian Power to determine how they can take advantage of the incentive rate and how it will affect their overall electricity costs. The discount was approved by the Public Service Commission effective Jan. 31. Appalachian Power has 1 million customers in Virginia, West Virginia and Tennessee (as AEP Appalachian Power). It is a unit of American Electric Power, one of the largest electric utilities in the United States, delivering electricity and custom energy solutions to nearly 5.4 million customers in 11 states. The company and its AEP afﬁliates employ approximately 2,300 people in West Virginia, making AEP one of the largest employers in the state. It is also one of the largest taxpayers in the state. AEP owns the nation’s largest electricity transmission system, a more than 40,000-mile network that includes more 765-kilovolt extrahigh voltage transmission lines than all other U.S. transmission systems combined. AEP also operates 224,000 miles of distribution lines. AEP ranks among the nation’s largest generators of electricity, owning approximately 26,000 megawatts of generating capacity in the U.S. AEP supplies 3,200 megawatts of renewable energy to customers.

Samsung folding phone is different - but also almost $2,000 SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Samsung unveiled a highly anticipated smartphone with a foldable screen in an attempt to break the innovation funk that has beset the smartphone market. But it’s far from clear that consumers will embrace a device that retails for almost $2,000, or that it will provide the creative catalyst the smartphone market needs. The Galaxy Fold, announced Wednesday in San Francisco, will sell for $1,980 when it is released April 26. Consumers willing to pay that hefty price will get a device that can unfold like a wallet. It can work like a traditional smartphone with a 4.6 inch screen or morph into something more like a minitablet with a 7.3 inch screen. �Opinion 4 Thursday, February 21, 2019 Daily Sentinel THEIR VIEW American politics’ great partisan divide One of the more striking political developments of the last few years has been the partisan sorting of American voters. It used to be that both the Republican and Democratic parties covered some ideological ground.

Sure, liberals put a lot of emphasis on collectively helping individuals who are in trouble, and they tend to be more inclusive and open to change.

They’re much more liberal or conservative than they think of themselves as being. The divisions that separate liberals and conservatives are real. On social issues, many ﬁnd themselves sharply divided: over same-sex relationships, the place of marriage and family in our society, and, of course, abortion. This last may be the most divisive issue of all. Liberals tend to have more tolerance for abortion; very few conservatives I encounter have that feeling, although a few do. And they are sharply divided over the role of government and government intervention in the lives of Americans on economic matters. Conservatives tend to believe strongly that government regulations do more harm than good, and that government itself is wasteful and inefﬁcient. The differences are especially stark on health care — conservatives abhor the mandate on purchasing insurance policies; liberals see it as a necessary step toward the larger goal of expanded coverage. This is part of a broader division over welfare and the degree to which government should be involved in programs to alleviate poverty or to protect working people from the bumps, bruises, and hardships dealt out by the national economy. Conservatives tend to think those roles ought to be taken up by the private or nonproﬁt sectors and by individuals themselves. Liberals, of course, believe government can be helpful. But even here, the divisions are not as sharp as they used to be. You hear a good number of conservatives open to government assistance and government involvement in social and economic issues. I’ve been surprised by the number of times I’ve run into conservatives who support particular government programs, and liberals who take a libertarian view on some question or another. Over and over, I’m reminded that learning a voter’s views on a given issue may tell you next to nothing about his or her views on others, or could actually mislead you. It’s pretty common these days to bemoan the ideological divisions evident in our politics, especially when the differences are weaponized for partisan purposes. But I’d argue that far from being debilitating, ideological divisions are fundamentally a sign of the vitality of our politics. The political debate they give rise to is a sign of the vigor of the political system. Sure, trying to deal with deep-seated differences is extremely difﬁcult for a politician. But it’s also part of the attraction and the challenge of politics. And if you see voters as the complex opinion-holders they really are, common ground may not be as impossible to ﬁnd as it can seem at ﬁrst glance.

A hometown sports team breaking a tie game with a win is sweet. A grandparent reading with a young person is sweet. The intake of over 75 pounds of sugar per person each year is not sweet, it is downright unhealthy. Seventy-ﬁve pounds of sugar is over 20 teaspoons of daily sugar or close to 7 tablespoons a day. This is not sweet, it is an excess. A person’s body is not designed to overdose on sugar without adverse effects. The American Heart Association recommends approximately 7 teaspoons daily for women and 9 teaspoons of sugar a day for men. Any more can jeopardize their health.

Melanie Rose, New Haven Elementary physical education instructor, commented, “I think one of the biggest reasons we stayed out today too is because nobody trusts the legislature.” “I agree, I think that we have lost some trust in the Senate and because of that we aren’t willing to place our trust into them to make decisions that are best for our students,” said Pierce. Rose added, “The charter schools are still up and (Senate President) Mitch (Carmichael) is trying to get it connected back in with the pay raise bill.” “I would like to see the promises that were made last year that they did not fulﬁll which is the PEIA being fully funded,” said Teresa Atkinson, Wahama High School special education instructor. “And yes we would all like a pay raise, but that is not the reason we’re here, we’re here for the betterment of education of our students in West Virginia and we do not think charter schools are the way to go, there’s too much history with other states where it has Contracts for road maintenance that totaled $2.4 billion in 2014 may drop to $1.5 billion in 2020, and a $1 billion gap remains in the department budget, Marchbanks said. DeWine also stood by his decision earlier this year to postpone an Ohio execution because of a federal judge’s ruling that inmates could suffer severe pain under the state’s current lethal injection method.

DeWine, Ohio’s four statewide elected ofﬁcials, and leaders of the House and Senate gathered Tuesday at the annual AP event.

LaRose called Trump’s characterization of the media as the enemy of the people as “dangerous.” During an afternoon session, state GOP chairwoman Jane Timken said she believes Ohio will remain a battleground state, despite recent solid Republican sweeps. Democratic chairman David Pepper, answering a question about brain drain, said investments in urban areas to create “really attractive cities” are key to retaining and attracting young people. Also Tuesday, House Speaker Larry Householder and Senate President Larry Obhof, both Republicans, and House Minority Leader Emilia Sykes and Senate Minority Leader Kenny Yuko, both Democrats, discussed legislative priorities for the year. The lawmakers agreed that additional spending is needed to deal with problems with the condition of Ohio roads, including potholes on thoroughfares across the state. They disagreed about whether a gas tax was the best approach. Householder said he wants to study infrastructure needs ﬁrst and wait on considering a tax. Yuko said Ohioans are already spending thousands of dollars repairing cars instead of roads. Clendenin 53/35 Charleston 54/36 Shown are noon positions of weather systems and precipitation.

The host Rams posted a 5-1 triumph in the opening game and improved to 8-1 with the sweep of the twinbill. Rio Grande dropped to 8-7 with the losses. Espinal’s sacriﬁce ﬂy rescued the Rams, who had blown an early 2-0 lead. Jordan Huntley opened the home ninth by drawing a walk from sophomore reliever Caleb Fetzer (Van Wert, OH), the last of three pitchers in the nightcap for the RedStorm. He was forced out moments later on Carlos Torres’ ﬁelder’s choice grounder to shortstop, but Ozzie Millet’s triple to left plated Torres with the tying run. Leyan Napoleon and Edgardo Bernard were issued consecutive intentional walks to load the bases and set up a force play, but Espinal followed with a ﬂyball that was deep enough to right ﬁeld for Millet to tag up and race home with the gamewinning marker. Blueﬁeld led 2-0 after two innings, scoring once in each of the ﬁrst two frames. Huntley led off the home ﬁrst with a double, took third on a ﬂyout to right and then scored when Millet’s grounder to shortstop was booted for an error.

They have some better days ahead of them.” The Raiders did little more than struggle after a Layne Fitch steal and layup gave the guests their only lead of the game 15 seconds into regulation. Blaine Carter tied the game at two with a pair of free throws, then Cory Call gave the Blue and White a permanent lead with a basket at the 5:55 mark of the ﬁrst. River Valley ended up committing turnovers on six of their 11 ﬁrst quarter possessions while also making only two shot attempts, allowing GAHS to surge out to a 17-5 advantage. Jordan Lambert hit a short jumper 23 seconds into the second frame to whittle the deﬁcit down to 10 points, but the Blue Devils countered with nine points from Justin McClelland as part of an 11-2 charge that resulted in a 28-9 lead with 5:03 remaining in the half.

Gallia Academy was plus-3 in turnover differential (7-4) and also held a sizable 17-7 edge in rebounds after 16 minutes of play. Most impressively, GAHS claimed an 8-1 advantage on the offensive glass during that span — which led to an additional 10 shot attempts. The Raiders came as close as 11 points (33-22) with 6:26 left in the third and were down 43-30 after a Lambert basket at the 2:23 mark, but the guests ultimately went scoreless the rest of the way and committed eight turnovers in the stanza. GAHS — who received 10 points from Call in the third frame — closed the ﬁnal 1:42 with four consecutive points to secure a 47-30 advantage headed into the ﬁnale. The Raiders — who had made 12-of-24 shot attempts through three periods — went without a ﬁeld goal for over seven minutes down the stretch as Carter capped a 13-1 charge with a basket at the 3:18 mark for a 60-31 cushion. Braden Kemper ended a 0-for-7 shooting drought with 34 seconds remaining after a Braden Kemper basket sparked a 4-2 run to close out regulation.

(AP) — Baseball Commissioner Rob Manfred predicts top free agents will all get deals and the second slow free-agent market won’t have lasting signiﬁcance. “In some ways I feel like it’s a little much ado about nothing if in fact those players all sign at the end of the day,” he said Tuesday. “The season’s going to go on. We’re going to have the right players out there playing on the ﬁeld, and it’s kind of no harm, no foul.” Manny Machado agreed hours earlier to a $300 million, 10-year deal with San Diego, a person familiar with the negotiations told The Associated Press. The blown right now,” Manfred said. “I do think it would be helpful if we tried to not sensationalize the back and forth on the individual issues. I think that the dialogue is best conducted in a room between the bargaining parties.” Management has proposed on-ﬁeld changes, such as a pitch clock and limits on relief pitchers. Union head Tony Clark and his members would like the designated hitter to expand to the National League and changes to the amateur draft to make rebuilding through the draft less attractive. They have criticized teams for failing to try to win now, and Clark on Monday questioned whether some teams jus- person spoke on condition of anonymity because the deal was subject to a successful physical. Machado’s deal is a record for a free agent and the secondlargest in baseball history behind Giancarlo Stanton’s $325 million, 13-year contract. Bryce Harper, Dallas Keuchel and Craig Kimbrel remain on the market just ahead of the start of spring training games this week. Throughout the major leagues, players have criticized teams for not spending to land top available stars and started to push for signiﬁcant changes in the collective bargaining agreement, which runs through the 2021 season. “I do think are a little over- Devils From page 6 say goodbye to seniors Layne Fitch, Rory Twyman, Myles Morrison and Austin Beaver after the quartet provided such vital leadership this winter. The ﬁrst-year frontman also noted that the Blue Devils are a prime example of where he wants his program to be in the nottoo-distant future. “We did some things early on that we talked about trying to avoid, but we settled down a bit in the second quarter and did a better job. We competed from there, but we just couldn’t catch up,” Bostic said. “We played well in spots of the game and there were some tough spots too, but that comes down to maturity as a group. That Gallipolis group has a bunch of seniors that have played in two or three sectional ﬁnals in their careers, so they are familiar with this type of atmosphere. “Our seniors have played for three coaches in four years, and those four seniors have been very understanding and important to what we were trying to get accomplished this year. It wasn’t necessarily all about the Bryan Walters | OVP Sports River Valley sophomore Jordan Lambert, middle, releases a shot attempt between Gallia Academy defenders Justin McClelland and Cory Call (22) during the first half of Tuesday night’s Division II boys basketball sectional semifinal at Southeastern High School in Londonderry, Ohio. wins and losses, but we wanted to build a competitive culture that leads to a better basketball program. I think we have done that and we have more work to do, but those four seniors will be a big part of our future success for what they’ve given us this year.” Gallia Academy net- ted 25-of-54 ﬁeld goal attempts overall, including a 4-of-11 effort from behind the arc for 36 percent.

Outside of the old Southeastern Ohio Athletic League days and a handful of non-conference matchups more recently, Gallia Academy has faced JHS only one other time in the postseason since the 2002-03 campaign. The Blue and White also defeated Jackson by a 55-45 count in a D-2 sectional semiﬁnal back in 2015. Harrison admits that this upcoming Ironmen team is talented, but he also feels that his troops enter the weekend with a little bit of a chip on their shoulders. And, as he put it, you cannot get to the Convo without ﬁrst reaching the sectional ﬁnal. “Our kids are hungry. We were voted a seven seed … and we’re kind of mad about that,” Harrison said. “Saturday, we get to play for a second straight sectional championship. This time of year, the opportunity is all you can really ask for.” River Valley completed its regular season winless in a dozen Tri-Valley Conference Ohio Division contests. by Emma Gibbs with 14 points and eight rebounds, followed by Rose with 11 points and seven rebounds. Harley Roush and Torre VanMatre had three points apiece in the setback, with VanMatre and Lauren Noble each earning two assists. Gibbs also led the WHS defense with three steals, followed by Rose with two steals, and VanMatre with a block. PCHS junior Madeline Huffman led all-scorers with 26 points, 15 of which came from beyond the arc. Aaliyah Brunny had 12 points and ﬁve assists in the win, Leslie Huffman added 11 points, six assists and six rebounds, while Madison Ross ended with nine points and six boards. Grace Wojcik contributed three points to the winning cause, while Lainie Ross, Kiah Eastwood, and Emma Gardner chipped in with two each. Leading the Parkersburg Catholic defense, Madeline Huffman had six steals and two blocks, while Brunny ﬁnished with ﬁve steals and three rejections. Wahama’s 11 wins this winter are the program’s most since the 2009-10 campaign. It’s the ﬁrst time the Lady Falcons have double-digit wins since the 201112 season. Parkersburg Catholic will put its 14-game winning streak on the line in the Class A Region IV, Section 1 championship game against second-seeded Williamstown on Friday at PCHS.

We have smart, aggressive negotiators on both sides. A completely predictable tactic is to use timing as a point of leverage in those negotiations on both sides,” he said. “It’s not like this is some unexpected result.” THURSDAY EVENING BROADCAST Fall 7 PM 7:30 8 PM 8:30 The Titan Games "The Battle of the Titans" (N) The Titan Games "The Battle of the Titans" (N) Grey's Anatomy "I Want a New Drug" (N) Song of Mountain "Michael & Jennifer McLain and The Banjocats/ The Rose Sisters" Grey's Anatomy "I Want a New Drug" (N) The Big Bang Young Theory (N) Sheldon (N) Gotham "Ace Chemicals" (N) Doc Martin "Blade on the Feather" Martin wakes up to an empty bed.

Steelers won’t tag Machado, Padres agree to $300M, 10-year deal Bell; will explore trade for Brown PITTSBURGH (AP) — Le’Veon Bell is free to go. Antonio Brown, maybe not so much. The Pittsburgh Steelers have no plans to place a transition tag on Bell, allowing the star running back to reach the open market when free agency begins next month. And while the team will explore moving Brown, general manager Kevin Colbert stressed Wednesday the Steelers will not cut the talented but turbulent star wide receiver just to appease him. “By no means are we going to make a trade or any type of move that will not be beneﬁcial to the Pittsburgh Steeler organization,” Colbert said. “We will not be discounting (Brown) on the trade market and we certainly will not be releasing (him).” Brown began openly campaigning for a new team shortly after Pittsburgh ﬁnished 9-6-1, upset after being made inactive for the regular season ﬁnale against Cincinnati for failing to provide coach Mike Tomlin with an update on his status after Tomlin sent Brown home from practice a couple of days before the game to nurse an injury. The Steelers won but missed the playoffs. Brown has spent most of the last two months thumbing his nose at the organization via social media in an effort to assure he wouldn’t be welcomed back, including calling out quarterback Ben Roethlisberger for having an “owner mentality” and questioning Tomlin’s integrity. Yet Colbert said he doesn’t believe Brown’s erratic behavior will hurt his trade value and didn’t even rule out a chance that Brown returns to Pittsburgh for a 10th season in 2019. Brown met with Colbert, team president Art Rooney II and vice president Omar Khan in Florida on Tuesday to clear the air. Though both sides agreed “looking into a trade would probably be the best course of action,” Brown and Rooney posed for a picture afterward , a gesture Colbert called more indicative of Brown’s character than the drama that’s surrounded him at times during his proliﬁc rise from sixthround pick to the most productive wide receiver of his generation. The team has not yet entered into active trade talks for Brown, the only player in NFL history with six straight seasons of at least 100 receptions. That ﬁgures to pick up with free agency set to begin on March 13 and Brown due a $2.5 million roster bonus on March 17. “He believes there will be demand and hopefully for our situation there’s a demand that can satisfy anybody,” Colbert said. What “satisfy” means is up to the Steelers and not Brown, who along with agent Drew Rosenhaus will be kept in the loop but will not be given freedom to go seek their own deal. Colbert declined to get into speciﬁcs on what the team is looking for, pointing out it could be a draft pick or an established player or perhaps some combination. The Dallas Cowboys gave the Oakland Raiders a 2019 ﬁrst-round pick for Amari Cooper last fall. Pittsburgh even snagged a third-rounder from the Raiders last spring for Martavis Bryant.

The person spoke to the AP on condition of anonymity because the agreement was subject to a successful physical and had not been announced. Machado can opt out after ﬁve years and become a free agent again, the person said. Machado’s deal, if completed, would be the second-largest in baseball history behind Giancarlo Stanton’s $325 million, 13-year deal signed with the Miami Marlins ahead of the 2015 season. Among free agents it tops Alex Rodriguez’s $275 million, 10-year contract with the New York Yankees from 200817. Records may be broken soon. Free agent outﬁelder Bryce Harper could top Stanton’s deal in coming days or weeks. Speaking at spring training in Peoria, Arizona, Padres executive chairman Ron Fowler said: “We do not have a deal with any free agent player. We are continuing discussions, and that’s all we have to say.” Teams draw a distinction between an agreement subject to a physical and a ﬁnalized deal. However, general partner Peter Seidler, without conﬁrming the deal, said: “Ron and I, we love the city of San Diego, we love sports in San Diego, we’re also well aware of the his- Jae C. Hong | AP file Former Los Angeles Dodgers infielder Manny Machado has agreed to a $300 million, 10-year deal with the rebuilding San Diego Padres, the biggest contract ever for a free agent, a person familiar with the negotiations tells The Associated Press. The person spoke on condition of anonymity because the agreement was subject to a successful physical and had not been announced. tory. There’s never been a championship … We as an organization, we want to completely change that. We want our franchise to win year after year after year. And we’re going to do whatever we can rationally do to make that happen.” The Padres haven’t had a winning season since 2010 and haven’t been to the playoffs since 2006. They haven’t won a playoff series since the 1998 NLCS against Atlanta. And they’ve had the city’s big league sports scene to themselves since the NFL’s Chargers moved to the Los Angeles area two seasons ago. The Padres have been rebuilding mostly with prospects and draft picks, although they are making a stunning move early in spring training for the second straight year after reaching a $144 million, seven-year contract last February with ﬁrst baseman Eric Hosmer. Machado is expected to ﬁll the team’s gaping need at third base. He began last year with Baltimore, was traded to the Los Angeles Dodgers after the All-Star break and struck out to end the World Series loss to Boston. With the 26-year-old Machado on board, the next big move for the Padres is expected to be the promotion of shortstop Fernando Tatis Jr., the 20-year-old son of a former big leaguer and the No. 2 overall prospect in baseball. A four-time All-Star, Machado hit .297 last year and set career bests with 37 homers and 107 RBIs. A four-time All-Star and two-time Gold Glove winner, he has a .282 career average with 175 homers and 513 RBIs in seven big league seasons. The Chicago White Sox were among the teams that pursued Machado. “Still in a bit of disbelief. The one thing I can say — I just told Rick (general manager Han) this and I will tell Jerry (owner Reinsdorf) and our coaching staff and players — I feel we put our best foot forward. Jerry, in particular, really stepped up,” he said. “If the acceptance of the offer that I’m seeing is true, then actually our offer had the opportunity for Manny to surpass that. But in the end we went after the guy and we didn’t get him. We’re disappointed but, hey, we are positioned . the reason why we were going after him in the ﬁrst place is because we feel we are positioned to do some good things here going forward. We wanted to accelerate that to a large degree and that’s why we made the overture we did,” he said. Machado also met with the Yankees, a team that had expressed concern over Machado’s remarks about hustling — not hustling, actually — during the playoffs. After failing to run out a grounder in the NL Championship Series, Machado said: “Obviously I’m not going to change, I’m not the type of player that’s going to be ‘Johnny Hustle’ and run down the line and slide to ﬁrst base.” Machado tried to clarify his remarks after the season, saying, “looking back, it doesn’t come across how I meant it.” Yankees owner Hal Steinbrenner took notice of Machado’s initial comments, labeling them “troubling.” “If we’re interested in any player, to sit down with them face to face and ask him, ‘Where did this come from? What was the context around the entire interview? Was there a point? How do you justify it?’” Steinbrenner said in November. “Because that ain’t going to sell where we play baseball,” he said. Buffalo stampedes Ohio for 23rd straight home win AMHERST, N.Y. (AP) — Buffalo coach Nate Oats drew on his experience as a high school math teacher help his team understand the value of a blowout victory. After grinding out two wins on what Oats said was the team’s biggest road trip of the season, the Bulls were disappointed to see that they remained at No. 25 in the poll. “If we want to make a run in March, we can’t keep messing around and playing teams to within single digits when we are supposed to dominate them,” Oats said. Buffalo responded to the challenge with its most dominant performance of the season on Tuesday night, overwhelming Ohio in a 114-67 rout for their 23rd straight home win. Jayvon Graves scored a careerhigh 26 points, CJ Massinburg added 23 and Buffalo set school records for 3-pointers made (19), points scored against a Division I opponent, and victory margin in a Mid-American Conference game. The Bulls believe blowout wins will help them rise in the national rankings and make a deep run in the NCAA Tournament. Last year, Buffalo upset fourth-seeded Arizona as a No. 13 seed before losing in the second round to Kentucky. “Our goal is getting to that second weekend,” Massinburg said. “We know that we can get a higher seed by dominating each game out.” Winning its previous two games at Akron and Toledo each by six points wasn’t good enough, according to Massinburg. “You can see what we’ve been doing hasn’t been working,” Massinburg said. “We didn’t move at all in the AP rankings. . They were two tough wins on the road. But we’ve got to be better.” The Bulls (23-3, 11-2 MidAmerican Conference) opened a double-digit lead within the ﬁrst 10 minutes and led 52-27 at halftime. Graves made his ﬁrst six 3-point attempts to match his previous personal-best with 19 points in the ﬁrst half. “I had been struggling the past few games and just being just being conﬁdent shooting and playing my game,” said Graves, who ﬁnished 7 of 9 from 3-point range and 9 of 12 from the ﬂoor. “It all came together.” Freshman Jeenathan Williams set career highs with 13 points and eight rebounds and Montell McCrae had 11 points with seven rebounds for Buffalo, which won its fourth in a row and tied a school record for regular season victories set last year. Jason Carter led Ohio (11-14) with 16 points. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
