Ordinance 762 has brought about a great deal of discussion since being presented earlier this year. Initially, questions were raised regarding the proposed increase to the parking permits, which would have doubled from $50 to $100 for the year. That increase was later cut in half before the final version of Ordinance 672 was approved. One other point of discussion was with regard to the cost to park at meters in the downtown area. The cost had been $.25 for 75 minutes. Under Ordinance 762 that will increase to $.25 for 30 minutes. Merchants brought concerns before council with regard to the matter of increasing the cost for customers to do business in the downtown area. Business owner Annie Chapman suggested to council that meters be removed from the spaces along the parking lot to allow for customers to park and shop while not worrying about running back to pay the meter. Parking on the street could continue to be metered to keep spaces open for those who need to make a quick stop in one of the local businesses. “We have reduced the amount of meters on Butternut Avenue, Second Street, Main Street and both riverfront parking lots at least by 40 meters in 2013,” stated Pomeroy Police Chief Mark Proffitt. Council noted that up to 10 spac- es had previously been approved as “Free Customer Parking” on the parking lot, with the marking of those spaces the responsibility of the Pomeroy Merchant’s Association. Spaces were to be scattered throughout the parking lot. Chapman questioned if customers were aware of the availability of free parking. Mayor Jackie Welker also noted that parking is free on weekends in the downtown area. Welker also noted that they are working to get training for meter enforcement employee Ben Young. The village is also in the preliminary stages of looking to replace the meters in the downtown area, some Sarah Hawley | Daily Sentinel of which are not functioning properly. Free parking spaces for customers are currently scattered through out the parking lot. Spaces are marked by signs like See FEE | 3 this one located across from Chapman Shoes. Residents advised grant funds contingent on citizen participation By Charlene Hoeflich choeflich@civitasmedia.com Submitted photos Coins as a educational exhibit were displayed at the Meigs County Public Library Saturday. Members of the Oh-Kan Coin Club displayed their collections. A showing of collectibles POMEROY — An exhibit of coins by the Oh-Kan Coin Club and several thousand pictures of early Meigs County, its industries, architecture, and lifestyle were on display at the Meigs Library Saturday for public viewing. During the 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. show, beans and cornbread were served to those attending. Three coins provided by Farmers Bank and Peoples Bank were awarded during the day with Kim Cowdery winning a 1879 silver dollar, Debra McCall a 1925 coin, and Jerry Frederick a 1922 coin. The pictures on display were from the collection of Bob Graham. One given away during the afternoon was an 8x10 picture of the demolition of the old Pomeroy-Mason Bridge. About 60 residents attended the show, where they not only looked at the coins and pictures, but were given information on membership in the OhKan Coin Club. Bob Graham not only displayed his coin collection, but his vast collection of pictures depicting the lifestyle of years past. ODNR seeks info on bobcat death By Michael Johnson MIDDLEPORT — Another step toward preparing to apply for a $300,000 grant to revitalize Middleport was taken when Denise Alkire, of the Meigs County Grants Office, spoke at the Middleport Village Council meeting Monday night. About 30 residents, in addition to village officers, were present for the meeting to hear about how projects may be included in the Ohio Development Services Agency Neighborhood Revitalization Program. This was the second meeting Alkire has had with village residents to get their opinion about projects they would like to have included in the application. A lack of citizen participation impacts the decision on whether the village receives the money. She noted that any community project, like the construction of the trail along the river from an area near the Dairy Queen to Custer Street, fire department equipment, and neighborhood improvements such as sidewalk repair and street lighting, can be included if the village is accepted for grant funding. Citizen participation is a key in making Middleport eligible for the $300,000 grant, according to Alkire. She emphasized how important it is for residents to fill out a planning sheet titled “What is Your Vision for Your Community?” Those sheets are available at Middleport Village Hall in the foyer, or at the water office there. She said participation counts toward awarding grants and indicated she may be doing some house-to-house contacting if the numbers fall short of what she sees as adequate for funding. At an earlier meeting, council approved all contracts for fire protection — with the exception of one for Salisbury Township. Mayor Mike Gerlach reported on a meeting of the Salisbury Trustees with Middleport and Pomeroy fire department personnel regarding a change in the amount paid for fire protection in the township. It was reported that the amount paid has not changed for many years, and an increase in the annual rate is needed to cover the cost to the two departments. It was also noted that Salisbury Township does not currently have a fire protection levy as do most all other townships. There were no decisions made at the meeting pending further consideration on the matter by the trustees. Middleport officer Mony Wood, who operates the jail, spoke of the need for a part-time corrections officer to fill a 16-hour a week need created by a resignation. On questions from one of the Council members about current employees in the jail, Wood said there are seven part-time employees working part time to save the costs associated with full-time workers.

According to Roy Rucker, Gallia County’s wildlife officer with the ODNR, there are no new leads as to who may have shot the bobcat Feb. 13 in Gallia County. James Burdette, a newspaper carrier for the Gallipolis Daily Tribune, found the animal while making his deliveries just off Ohio 160 along Burnheimer Road. He and another man spotted the animal perched next to a set of mailboxes next to the road. “I thought it was still alive the way it was perched,” Burdette said at the time. “We kept looking for it to move, but found out it was dead. It had been shot.” Rucker said at the time that the bobcat suffered a gunshot wound behind its left shoulder. “(Bobcats) are a threatened species in Ohio and they are very important to us,” Rucker said. “This bobcat was Photo by Kim Cade This female bobcat, a threatened species in Ohio, was reportedly shot, but it’s still under investigation.” GALLIPOLIS — The Gallia County Sheriff’s Office is currently seeking information concerning a teen who has been reported missing by her family.

Now in its eighth year, the HomeCare Elite identifies the top 25 percent of agencies and highlights the top 100 and top 500 agencies overall. Winners are ranked by an analysis of publicly available performance measures in quality outcomes, best practice (process measure) implementation, patient experience, quality improvement and consistency and financial performance. To be considered, an agency must be Medicare-certified and have data for at least one outcome in Home Health Compare. Out of 9,969 agencies considered, 2,496 are elite. The award is sponsored by OCS HomeCare by National Research Corporation, the leading products for home health metrics and analytics, and DecisionHealth, publisher of the most respected independent newsletter in the home care profession, Home Health Line. “The 2013 HomeCare Elite winners demonstrate a commitment to providing patient-centered care and serving as leaders in the home health community. Their success is a tribute that managing health care data and utilizing it for improvement initiatives lead to high quality care, and we recognize them for The Daily Sentinel s Page 3 www.mydailysentinel.com RIO GRANDE — The number of families and individuals in need of food assistance has increased significantly throughout southeastern Ohio within in the last year. At the Vinton Baptist Food Pantry in Gallia County, 8,130 people were served in 2013 with 43,980 pounds of food. Up from 6,000 served in 2012, the pantry relies entirely on volunteerism and donations. While numerous donations and volunteers contribute, Vinton Baptist Food Pantry Director David West insisted the efforts would not be possible without the support of Enactus students from the University of Rio Grande/Rio Grande Community College. “If it weren’t for the students there and throughout the county, we wouldn’t be able to do a lot of what we do,” West said. “It would just be impossible.” Enactus, formerly known as SIFE, is an international collegiate organization that applies business concepts to develop community outreach projects, transforms lives and shape a better, more sustainable world. Rio Grande Enactus members include Matt Akers, Cody Bennett, Stephanie Cartmell, Aryn Gritter, Shannon Johnson, Michael Memory, Austin Short, Becca Steiner, Skylar Thompson, Brooke Wolni, and president and project leader Paris Morris. Carol their outstanding achievements,” said Mary Oakes, senior vice president of post-acute at National Research. “We congratulate Ohio Valley Home Health on being one of the top 500 home care agencies in the country.” Michael Vallee, president of Ohio Valley Home Health, credits his dedicated and highly trained field staff, along with management’s commitment to quality care and patient satisfaction with the agency’s ability to achieve recognition as one of the HomeCare Elite. “I am proud that Ohio Valley has been named as one of the HomeCare Elite top 500 home care agencies in the United States for the second year in a row,” he said. “This award validates our dedication to patient satisfaction and quality of care.” “HomeCare Elite recognition is a significant acknowledgement. The shift from fee-for-service to pay-for-performance payment models is reshaping the health care profession — and home health is proving to be an integral part of the continuum. In the face of value-based purchasing and care delivery model changes, the metrics that make up HomeCare Elite methodology shine an accountable light on an industry that may be the lynchpin to achieving affordable care at home,” said Marci Heydt, product manager for the post-acute care business group of DecisionHealth. The entire list of 2013 HomeCare Elite agencies can be downloaded by visiting the National Research Corporation website at www.nationalresearch. com/homecareelite. Vinton Baptist Food Pantry Smith, director of the Loren M. Berry Center for Economic Education at Rio Grande, is the Enactus advisor. Since 2008, the Rio Grande chapter of Enactus has organized an annual food drive to benefit local pantries. Enactus partnered with Campbell’s in 2009 for the Let’s Can Hunger campaign, and has continued to do so each year since. This year’s campaign began in October and has raised 9,342 pounds of food to date for the Vinton Baptist Food Pantry. The program, which runs through March, consists of drives on the Rio Grande Campus, Rio Grande Elementary, Vinton Elementary and the Miss Heart of Christmas pageant. SODEXO Food Service also supports the food drive by offering one free pizza party at each elementary for the classroom that raises the most donations. “The URG Enactus team promotes awareness of food insecurity in our community and helps stock the shelves of our local food pantry so that people in need can obtain food for their families,” Smith said. “We also provide information and workshops to empower people in need to break the cycle of hunger.” The Vinton Baptist Food Pantry, located at 11818 State Road 16 in Vinton, is open from 5 to 6:30 p.m. Mondays.

Fee From Page 1 Changes under Ordinance 762 are as follows: The parking permit fee for one year is set at $75, with the half year cost set at $40. Additional fees and fines changed if the ordinance is approved in the third reading are as follows, court costs increasing to $90; parking meter fees/ tickets for expired meters from $3 to $5; parking in a yellow zone, $10; parking in the wrong direction, $5; restricted zone, $10; parking in a handicap zone, $50; two-hour parking limit violation, $5; parking on sidewalks, $5; parking in loading zones, $10; blocking fire hydrant, $50; double parking, $5; obstructing a traffic lane, $10; blocking driveway, $10; parking without a permit, $10; parking on private property, $10; selling, washing or repairing vehicles on roadway, $10; unattended vehicle while running, $10. Tickets would continue to double after 72 hours. Parking meter costs would also increase to 50 cents for one hour. Currently, 25 cents buys 75 minutes. While the remainder of the ordinance will go into effect im- mediately, the parking meter increase will take time to be come effective as meters will need to be adjusted to the new rates. Ordinance 762 was approved by a 4-1 vote with Council Member Ruth Spaun voting no and Council Member Robert Payne not in attendance. Grant From Page 1 Councilman Doug Dixon asked about the finances of the operation and Wood said last year $497,000 was billed out to other agencies that showed a sizable profit for the operation. Funds from the jail more than pay the two annual payments on the renovation of the building of about $52,000 a year. Wood was given approval to hire a new parttime employee. Chief of Police Bruce Swift presented information on a new cruiser he said his department needs to replace a very old vehicle, one of the five which the department owns. His recommendation was for a fully equipped Ford, including radar, at a cost of $29,946. It was decided by a split vote to approve the purchase of a new vehicle, on the basis that two of the old cruisers be disposed of, giving the department a fleet of four cruisers. Roger Manley, Dick Vaughan, and Sharon Older voted against purchasing the new cruiser. Emerson Heighton, Doug Dixon and Penny Burge voted in favor of the purchase of the new vehicle with the stipulation that two of the old cruisers be removed from the fleet. Being a tie vote, Mayor Gerlach cast the deciding vote to move forward with the purchase. There was a lively discussion on the use of overtime by the street department over the last couple of months, and a proposal by Dixon that overtime not be used and that on days when it is be reconciled by reducing hours on another day. He also proposed that overtime be monitored Death From Page 1 Threatened species means the animal is vulnerable to endangerment in the near future. But according to a proposal made in January, the ODNR is recommending that bobcats be removed from the threatened species list. According to the ODNR website, bobcats were one of 71 species on Ohio’s first endangered list in 1974. However, the bobcat population began to rebound in the 1970s, and in recent years the number of verified sightings has continued to increase, prompting the status change from endangered to threatened in 2012. Since bobcats are considered a protected species in Ohio with no hunting or trapping season, Rucker said fines, court costs and restitution are much steeper than it would be for killing a common animal not on a protected list. “Bobcats are a hunted species in other states,” Rucker said. “But the population doesn’t warrant that here in Ohio.” Rucker said no new information has surfaced as to who shot the bobcat and why. He said spotting a bobcat in the wild is a rare event, especially for him. “As much as I’m outdoors performing my job duties, I haven’t seen them very often,” he said at the time. “Why anyone would shoot one … I really don’t know.” Rucker and the ODNR are asking for the public’s help. People who may have information about the bobcat shooting are asked to call the Gallia County ODNR office at (740) 589-9983.

The vote to cut overtime was passed by a vote of five to one, with Vaughan, Manley, Dixon, Burge and Older voting in favor, and Heighton voting against. Water use, the charge, the matter of opening meters, was again discussed at the meeting with no apparent resolution to some complaints. Manley again brought up the matter of hiring Fred Hoffman as economic development director/grants writer for the village. The salary figure requested — plus additional cost to the village in the way of retirement, worker’s compensation and unemployment, according to figures presented by Susan Baker, financial officer — comes to $28,548 which, it was reported is more money than police officers or many of the other employees make. It was then proposed by Baker that perhaps if the village really wants to create the position, it consider making it an independent contractor job, which would save about $5,000 since benefits are not required for contract jobs. Manley seemed agreeable to that, which would bring the cost amount to the village to about $23,543.

Dionne By Kathleen Parker The Washington Post WASHINGTON — We’ve heard much about the Republican war on women. Exhaustingly. Lately, we’ve also heard about the war on men. The war on men-onwomen-on-men … or something, as MSNBC’s Alex Wagner described it recently, gained fresh traction with a controversial column by The Wall Street Journal’s James Taranto about campus rape. James, honey, meet Pandora. In full disclosure, I wrote a book called “Save the Males” (Random House, 2008), so my understanding of these issues is not vague. The title notwithstanding, my bias is toward neither sex but toward yin and yang. My central point was that relations between the sexes do not constitute a zero-sum game, and our failure to recognize the differences between men and women is undermining much of what makes us a civilized nation. What got Taranto going was a New York Times story about bystander intervention in campus rape. Basically, if a drunk guy is getting aggressive with a girl, you’re supposed to stop him. What was once simple citizenship is now innovative behavior modification. Elsewhere the zeitgeist was buzzing about proposed legislation in California that would codify the terms of consent in sexual relations among college students. Saying “yes” apparently isn’t good enough. Now yes needs to be persistent throughout the act. The comic possibilities are nearly irresistible, but my survival instinct prompts me to exercise re- straint. Herein lies one of the problems with gender issues. Someone always takes things too far, making ridiculous what should be treated with scientific precision. The war on men or women, take your pick, quickly morphs into a war on intelligence. “They” are winning. Taranto may have been inartful, but he wasn’t wrong to note that the problem of campus sexual assault (or misunderstanding, as the case may be) is often, if not always, related to alcohol. Drunks misbehaving, in other words. But when two drunks have sex, who, ultimately, is responsible should one decide she didn’t really mean it? Without current data at my fingertips, I feel safe in presuming that few males charge females with rape following a sorority party. If the female decides at any point, including the next day, that she didn’t really want to engage in sex — no matter her own behavior at the time or the fogginess of her recollection, never mind the male’s own degree of inebriation — is the male entirely to blame? Even posing this question will get you banished from the kingdom in today’s confusing sexual arena. The National Organization for Women has called for Taranto’s firing. His error, hardly a firing offense, wasn’t in posing the question about equal drunkenness, but in comparing a sexual assault to a car wreck in which both drivers are equally drunk and the male gets blamed. The failure of this analogy should be self-evident. In any case, these are tough questions for all fairminded people. My own view will be repugnant to The Daily Sentinel Reader Services Correction Policy Our main concern in all stories is to be accurate.

Feminists won’t like it because it runs counter to the very arguments they have advanced in their impossible pursuit of absolute equality. Men won’t like my answer because it will feel unfair even though it is born of respect for men’s unique gifts and because it contradicts what feminism has insisted for the past several decades. Obviously, men and women (boys and girls, really) are equally to blame for getting silly-faced, but — you’d better grab a seat — men should be held to a higher standard. This is not because they’re worse people, far from it, but owing to their superior physical strength and, let’s be honest, the obvious biological and anatomical differences, including, relative to females, copious quantities of testosterone, which fuels both libido and aggression. In any arena involving physicality, the stronger of two has the moral responsibility to protect the weaker. In heterosexual sex, barring exceptions that merely prove the rule, this will always be the male. It is for men to not take advantage of women who are bereft of their faculties no matter the state of their own. Although we can argue that women shouldn’t get drunk and convey mixed signals (try dissecting that the next day), they are functionally less able to resist the advances of a determined male. This presumes that men should be chivalrous toward women, a concept not much in vogue these days. But worse than an old-fashioned idea is a modern state that believes it should review with whom and how you conduct your sex life. The Washington Post WASHINGTON — Republicans are unhappy that President Obama is invoking his executive powers to govern in the face of a do-nothing-in-2014 House of Representatives. To hear them talk, you would think our chief executive is modeling himself on the late Hugo Chavez and wants to seize dictatorial control. This, of course, is nonsense. In fact, Obama has in many ways been less aggressive in his use of executive authority than his predecessors. Take the matter of executive orders. According to the American Presidency Project at the University of California-Santa Barbara, Obama issued 147 executive orders in his first term. This compares with 173 in George W. Bush’s first term, 200 in Bill Clinton’s, 213 in Ronald Reagan’s, and 320 in Jimmy Carter’s single term in office. By this standard, Obama is not doing a very good job if he wants to be a tyrant. Moreover, since getting major bills through the House is about as likely as an equatorial country dominating the Winter Olympics, Obama’s supposedly aggressive measures have been rather restrained initiatives to achieve widely shared goals. He has accomplished as much through the White House’s ability to convene and persuade as through command. Can anyone be upset that he secured $750 million in commitments from tech companies to bring high-speed Internet to more classrooms? He’s combining that with $2 billion from service fees paid to the Federal Communications Commission to connect 15,000 schools and 20 million students. Who could oppose this? Perhaps those who think he’ll deploy this new capacity to pump left-wing propaganda to impressionable young people. Or take his National Network for Manufacturing Innovation made up of institutes around the country that seek “to bridge the gap between basic research and product development.” Companies, universities, community colleges and federal agencies “co-invest” in R&D, education and training. Unless you see this as a subtle path to socialism, what’s wrong with a pro-business partnership to create more manufacturing jobs? Oh yes, and he’s making the federal government a better employer by raising the minimum wage for those who work for its contractors. He’s also enlisted colleges and universities to take new steps to Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

Leviathan’s heavy hand is nowhere to be seen. Which brings us to the real issue: It’s not that Obama is trying to do too much. It’s that he needs to think bigger. One of the disappointments of the Obama presidency is his failure to lead a thoroughgoing reform of the way the federal government works and to launch an inspiring campaign to bring fresh talent to its ranks. The devotion he won from young Americans in 2008 presented him with an extraordinary opportunity to draw a new generation into government service, much as Franklin D. Roosevelt did in the 1930s and John F. Kennedy did, even in his brief time in office, in the 1960s. Alas, Obama didn’t really try. Now he can, and he should. With the economic crisis behind him and the prospect of legislating dim, he can turn to recruitment, administration and management. These sound boring, but you have to get them right to make government exciting and attractive again. The greatest obstacle to progressive programs right now is not the anti-government theorizing of the right. It’s the dismal view of government performance held by the vast majority of Americans. The antidote is a well-run government. Obama might take a look at “Building the Enterprise,” a report issued last summer by the Partnership for Public Service, a nonpartisan font of smart reform proposals, and Booz Allen Hamilton. The study argues that government should not be seen as a collection of departments and agencies, but rather as a unified enterprise whose disparate pieces need to function in harmony to reach a set of clear objectives. The report offers a variety of suggestions toward this end. One of the most important is bringing the way the government hires people in line with the best practices in the rest of society. “Today’s federal civil service system is obsolete,” its authors say. “Its major components were last retooled more than four decades ago.” It’s time for renovation. And, yes, we all know after the health care rollout that the government’s IT acquisition needs radical improvement. Above all, Obama should take it upon himself to lift up government service as a noble calling. The people we deride as bureaucrats are those who do the daily work of self-government on our behalf. We should never forget that self-government is a thrilling idea.

Ohio elections chief sets 2014 voting hours, days COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Ohio voters will get two Saturdays but no Sundays or evenings to cast early, in-person ballots during the statewide election this fall under a schedule set Tuesday by the state’s elections chief. Secretary of State Jon Husted, a Republican, said his directive for voting times reflects a proposal from the bipartisan Ohio Association of Election Officials. He has pressed state lawmakers for the past three years to put the hours and days for early voting into law, but the GOP-controlled Legislature has not adopted any plan. “I have watched as numerous election laws have passed the General Assembly and yet the bipartisan plan I have advocated for has neither been introduced nor adopted,” Husted said in a statement. Residents of the swing state can cast an absentee ballot by mail or in person without giving any reason. Lacking legislation establishing early voting times, Husted said he used the blueprint hours from the Republicans and Democrats who run local elections in Ohio’s 88 counties. For the general election, local Ohio driver’s bible booklet stops bullet By Lisa Cornwell The Associated Press CINCINNATI — A biblical booklet in a shirt pocket apparently helped a bus driver survive a shooting, and authorities were looking Tuesday for three suspects, police say. The driver for the Greater Dayton Regional Transit Authority told Dayton police he was standing outside the bus early Monday morning when the men shot at him three times, with one bullet hitting his leg. He also was stabbed in the arm. Rickey Wagoner, 49, of Trotwood, told police he fought back, grabbed the gun and the men ran away. Wagoner told police he fired at them before driving the bus to a safe location and calling for help. “I stabbed one in the leg, I think, with my pen,” he said on the 911 call to police in Dayton, about 60 miles north of Cincinnati. Police said Tuesday no one was on the bus at the time. Wagoner said in the 911 call that he felt two shots to his chest, but he didn’t think the bullets got through the booklet in his shirt pocket. Police said in their report that two small-caliber bullets hit the booklet called “The Message,” which has Bible verses in contemporary language and were found lodged inside the book. “It just feels like I’ve been hit with a sledgehammer,” Wagoner said. “I’ve got a book in my pocket, and I don’t think they made it through this book.” Wagoner told police he just started carrying the book about a week ago. Miami Valley Hospital in Dayton confirmed Tuesday that Wagoner remained in the hospital, but the hospital would provide no other information. The authority said in a statement that Wagoner was recovering and doing well. The initial police report said Wagoner stopped his bus to check a possible mechanical problem. The report also said Wagoner told officers that when the three men approached him, he heard one say: “If you want to be all the way in the club, you have to kill the polar bear.” He told police he grabbed the gun when he was shot in the chest and began struggling with the suspect. He said he was shot again in the leg and began choking the suspect. One of the other men kicked Wagoner in the side, and the bus driver said he was punched several times in the face, according to the police report. Wagoner said the third man then pulled a knife, stabbing him in the arm as he tried to block the knife. The bus driver said he then pulled a pen from his pocket, stabbing the suspect. Police described the aluminum pen as about 6 inches long and wider than normal. It was described as a “self-defense pen” that Wagoner said he always carries. He told police that in firing on the suspects, he may have struck one of them. “Amazingly, his injuries are not life-threatening,” Dayton Police Sgt. Michael Pauley told the Dayton Daily News. boards would not be open for in-person, early voting after 5 p.m. on weekdays and would be closed on Sundays — a change from previous years. Husted’s directive drew criticism from the Democratic candidate who is vying for his job this November, state Sen. Nina Turner of Cleveland. Turner said elections officials need flexibility to set times that work for their voters, not “onesize-fits-all solutions.” “There is no justification for arbitrarily denying the vast majority of Ohio voters’ access to open polling places,” Turner said in a statement. The 2012 presidential election cycle in Ohio was marked by several disputes over early voting rules, including a lawsuit brought by President Barack Obama’s re-election campaign. Still, about 33 percent of the state’s voters cast an early ballot in the last presidential election, with the majority choosing to vote on Election Day. Close to 1.3 million Ohioans mailed or dropped off their ballots to local boards, while more than 600,500 residents voted early in person. Husted’s office plans to mail absentee ballot application forms to all registered voters again this year, as they did for the 2012 contests. Voters can expect to see other changes to election rules this year. Republican Gov. John Kasich recently signed into law a bill to eliminate the so-called golden week, a period when residents can both register to vote and cast an early ballot. State lawmakers have been weighing other adjustments to Ohio’s election law, including a proposal that specifies when provisional ballots should be counted. Arizona governor returns home amid furor over bill PHOENIX (AP) — Gov. Jan Brewer returned to Arizona on Tuesday and faced a pressing decision about a bill on her desk that has prompted a national debate over religious and gay rights. The Republican governor has been in Washington the last five days for a governor’s conference, and she is returning to a political climate that is much different from just a week ago. The Arizona Legislature passed a bill last week allowing businesses whose owners cite sincerely held religious beliefs to deny service to gays. It allows any business, church or person to cite the law as a defense in any action brought by the government or individual claiming discrimination. The legislation has caused a national uproar. The chorus of opposition has grown each day, with the business community, the state’s Super Bowl Committee and both Republican U.S. senators calling for a veto. Former GOP presidential nominee Mitt Romney was the latest prominent voice to weigh in and urge Brewer to veto the bill. Brewer will likely spend the next day or more pondering Senate Bill 1062 before deciding whether to sign or veto the legislation. There is widespread speculation that Brewer will veto the bill, but she has not said how she’ll act, as is her longtime practice with pending legislation. Political observers in Arizona cautioned that the governor is deliberate and not prone to act hastily, despite the growing calls from business, politicians of all stripes, and civil rights groups for a veto. “She’s no rookie to these high-profile deals — she gives both sides their due,” said Doug Cole, a political consultant whose firm has run all of Brewer’s campaigns for decades. “She’s going to get a very detailed briefing from her legal team, and give the proponents their best shot, and the opponents their best shot,” he said. “Everybody’s going to get their say, and they’ve giving it.” Some Republican senators who pushed the bill through the Legislature are now calling for a veto as well, but they cite “inaccurate” information about the measure for igniting a Visit us online at www.mydailysentinel.com firestorm. They argue the bill is designed only to protect business owners with strong religious beliefs from discrimination lawsuits that have happened in other states. Some blame the media for blowing the law out of proportion. Democrats say that argument doesn’t wash and call SB1062 “toxic” legislation that allows discrimination. They said they warned Republicans who voted for the bill that it was destined for trouble. “We brought this to their attention five weeks ago,” said Sen. Steve Gallardo, D-Phoenix. “We said this is exactly what is going to happen. You have a bill here that’s so toxic it’s going to divide this Legislature. It’s going to be polarizing the entire state. And that’s exactly what happened.” The bill was pushed by the Center for Arizona Policy, a social conservative group that opposes abortion and gay marriage. The group says the proposal simply clarifies existing state law and is needed to protect against increasingly activist federal courts. The center’s president, Cathi Herrod, has been deriding what she called “fear-mongering” from the measure’s opponents. “What’s happened is our opponents have employed a new political tactic, and it’s working,” she said. “Throw out the threat of a boycott to attempt to defeat a bill, and you might just be able to be successful. Herrod added she was surprised and disappointed that “in America today, false attacks and irresponsible characterizations about a piece of legislation can so intimidate and persuade people to change their opinion about religious liberty.” 60458345 �The Daily Sentinel SPORTS WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 26, 2014 mdssports@civitasmedia.com Lady Defenders capture another regional title By Bryan Walters bwalters@civitasmedia.com CIRCLEVILLE, Ohio — And here we go again.

Meigs nipped by Buckeyes. 50-49 By Alex Hawley ahawley@civitasmedia.com ROCKSPRINGS, Ohio — As close as it gets. The Meigs boys basketball team dropped a onepoint decision to Tri-Valley Conference Ohio Division guest Nelsonville-York Monday night at Larry R. Morrison Gymnasium. The Buckeyes (15-9, 4-6 TVC Ohio) led 16-to-9 through the first eight minutes but were held scoreless for the first 5:30 of the second quarter as Meigs (8-12, 4-5) built the 21-16 lead. Nelsonville-York finished the first half with a 7-to-1 run and held a 23-22 edge at halftime. The Buckeyes outscored MHS 15-to-11 in the third quarter led by Josh Fayette with 12 points in the period. NYHS pushed its lead to 41-35 early in the fourth quarter but Meigs hit backto-back three pointers to tie the game. The Buckeyes answered back and led 50to-47 with 10 seconds to play. A missed three was rebounded by the Marauders and they hit the putback basket. Time expired and the Buckeyes held on for the 50-49 triumph. The Maroon and Gold were led by Damon Jones with 19 points and Isaiah English with 15. Jordan Hutton added eight points, while Ty Phelps and Colton Lilly each finished with three. Cody Bartrum rounded out the MHS scoring with two points in the setback. The Marauders shot 17-of-54 (31.5 percent) from the field, 3-of-15 (20 percent) from threepoint range and 12-of-16 (75 percent) from the free throw line. Meigs had 31 rebounds, eight assists, seven steals and 12 turnovers in the game. Jones led Meigs with 17 rebounds, followed by English with eight. Phelps had a team-high three assists, followed by Jones with two. Jones led the MHS defense with three steals, followed by Bartrum with two. Nelsonville-York was led by Josh Fayette with 17 points and Jay Elliott with 11. Cannon Kilbarger had eight points, Colt Adams marked seven, Wade Lent added five and Jeremy Warren rounded out the NYHS total with two points.

Lady Cats pounce on Wahama, 52-38 By Bryan Walters bwalters@civitasmedia.com MASON, W.Va. — A coronation of sorts for the new queens of Mason County hoops. The Hannan girls basketball team claimed its first postseason victory in a decade while also assuring itself of being the only Mason County program with a win this year following a 52-38 decision over host Wahama in a Class A Region IV, Section 2 quarterfinal Monday night at WHS. The Lady Cats (3-16) picked up their second straight win over the Lady Falcons (0-23) in five days, allowing the guests to earn their first tournament triumph since the 2003-04 campaign — a 42-23 victory over Buffalo on Feb. 23, 2004, at Point Pleasant Middle School. The win also means that HHS will advance to Wednesday night’s semifinal against fivetime defending Class A champion and topranked Huntington Saint Joseph. Tipoff of the Class A Region IV, Section 2 semifinal is scheduled for 7 p.m. Hannan trailed only once in the contest, which came at 3-2 with 5:45 remaining in the opening period. The guests, however, battled back to tie things up at five-all, then Chelsea Meadows hit two free throws at the 1:01 mark to give HHS a permanent lead of 7-5 after one quarter of play. The Lady Cats started the second canto with a 10-2 spurt to secure their biggest lead of the half at 17-7 with 4:48 remaining, but the Red and White countered with a small 7-5 run to close to within 20-12 at the break.

Defenders sweep Hannan, 63-53 By Bryan Walters bwalters@civitasmedia.com POINT PLEASANT, W.Va. — A strong start led to a solid finish for the Ohio Valley Christian boys basketball team Monday night during a 63-53 victory over host Hannan in a non-conference matchup held at Point Pleasant Junior-Senior High School in Mason County. The Defenders (12-10) shot 70 percent from the field in the opening 16 minutes and never looked back, as the guests went 6-of-8 from the field in the opening eight minutes en route to a 17-5 advantage. OVCS followed by hitting 8-of-12 shots during a 20-16 second quarter surge, giving the Defenders a commanding 37-21 cushion at the break. The Wildcats (2-17) — who netted 8-of-23 shot attempts in the first half — made a late second half push, but ultimately never came closer than three possessions down the stretch. HHS made a 16-14 third quarter run to pull to within 51-37, then closed regulation with a 16-12 spurt to wrap up the 10-point outcome. With the victory, Ohio Valley Christian claimed a season sweep of Hannan after posting an 83-35 decision at OVCS back on Jan. 30. The Defenders connected on 25-of-45 field goal attempts for 56 percent, including a 5-of-9 effort from three-point range for 56 percent. The guests were also 8-of-14 at the free throw line for 57 percent. T.G. Miller led OVCS with a game-high 26 points, followed by Elijah McDonald with 11 points and Marshall Hood with nine markers. Danny Ballentyne was next with eight points, while Dillon Ragan chipped in four markers. Phil Hollingshead and Evan Bowman respectively rounded out the winning tally with three and two points. The Wildcats finished the night 21-of-56 from the floor for 38 percent, which included a 9-of-33 effort from behind the arc for 27 percent. The hosts were also 2-of-4 at the charity stripe for 50 percent.

Title From Page 6 guests jumped out to a 9-4 lead after eight minutes and never looked back. OVCS followed with a 14-7 second quarter surge to secure a 23-11 halftime advantage, then went on a 17-5 tear in the third period to claim a commanding 40-16 lead headed into the finale. The Lady Defenders managed just one field goal and went 3-of-14 at the free throw line in the fourth, but still claimed a 5-4 edge down the stretch to wrap up the 25-point triumph. Ohio Valley Christian will face the Northeast Regional champion in a semifinal matchup at 4:30 p.m. Friday on the campus of OCU. The Lady Defenders connected on 16-of-45 field goal attempts for 36 percent, including a 2-of-6 effort from three-point range for 33 percent. The guests were also 11-of-28 overall at the free throw line for 39 percent. Emily Carman led OVCS with a game-high 19 points, followed by Bekah Sargent with a double-double effort of 10 points and 12 rebounds. Rachel Sargent also chipped in seven points and 10 rebounds to the winning cause. Sarah Schoonover and Cassandra Hutchinson each contributed four points apiece for the guests, while Teah Elliott rounded out the winning tally with one marker. Schoonover and Elliott also forced four steals apiece for the Lady Defenders, who outrebounded NHCA by a 49-31 overall margin. Bethany Conrade paced the Lady Statesmen with 10 points, followed by Abigail Brown with six markers. Grace Brown and Kayleah Wright also scored two points apiece in the setback. The hosts were 3-of-8 at the charity stripe for 38 percent. Pounce From Page 6 Wahama kept that momentum going into the early parts of the third canto, as Sierra Carmichael capped a 5-0 run with a bucket at the 6:04 mark — allowing the hosts to pull to within a possession at 20-17. The Lady Falcons, however, were never closer the rest of the way. Hannan countered with a 21-4 charge over the final 5:32 of the third quarter, allowing the guests to open up a sizable 41-21 advantage headed into the finale. Meadows drilled a trifecta to start the fourth, giving HHS its largest lead of the night at 44-21 with 7:26 left in regulation. The Lady Falcons closed regulation with a 17-8 surge to get as close as the final 14-point margin of victory. The Lady Cats — who defeated OVCS at home by a 44-40 at home back on Jan. 30 — also picked up a 54-37 road win at Wahama last Thursday. Besides a home win and a road win, Hannan also picked up a tournament victory and owns a twogame winning streak after Monday night. Chelsea Meadows led the guests with 19 points, followed by Pam Black with 15 points and Anna Taylor with 14 markers. Heather Ellis and Tamara Wilson also had three points and one point, respectively, for Hannan, which went 10-of-17 at the free throw line for 59 percent. Sierra Carmichael — a career 1,000-point scorer — paced Wahama with a game-high 31 points, 24 of which came in the second half. Bunni Peters was next with four points, while Faith Henry rounded things out with three markers. The Lady Falcons — who have now dropped 24 consecutive decisions — went 8-of-14 at the charity stripe for 57 percent. Wahama has also lost 29 straight regular season games and it was the final basketball game for seniors Sierra Carmichael and Bunni Peters in the Red and White. Both Wahama and Point Pleasant — which dropped a 66-26 decision to Hurricane Monday night in a Class AAA sectional quarterfinal — finished the 2014 campaign with matching 0-23 records. The last Mason County team to go winless in a season before this winter was Hannan, which occurred when the Lady Cats went 0-21 during the 2008 campaign. Wahama’s last girls basketball win came against Hannan in a 45-27 decision back on Feb. 18, 2013, in a Class A Region IV, Section 2 quarterfinal at HHS. �Wednesday, February 26, 2014 The Daily Sentinel s Page 9 www.mydailysentinel.com BLONDIE By Dean Young and John Marshall BEETLE BAILEY By Mort, Greg and Brian Walker Today’s answer RETAIL By Norm Feuti HAGAR THE HORRIBLE HI AND LOIS By Chris Browne Written By Brian & Greg Walker; Drawn By Chance Browne THE BRILLIANT MIND OF EDISON LEE By John Hambrock BABY BLUES ZITS By Jerry Scott & Rick Kirkman By Jerry Scott and Jim Borgman PARDON MY PLANET CONCEPTIS SUDOKU By Vic Lee by Dave Green By Dave Green RHYMES WITH ORANGE 5 6 By Hilary Price 6 1 3 5 4 4 6 8 2 7 2 1 4 5 7 3 8 6 1 2/26 Difficulty Level Hank Ketcham’s DENNIS THE MENACE THE LOCKHORNS By Bunny Hoest & John Reiner By Bil and Jeff Keane Make the Switch to DISH Today and Save Up To 50% Call Now and Ask How! 1-800-401-1670 All offers require 24-month commitment and credit qualification.Call 7 days a week 8am - 11pm EST Promo Code: MB0913 *Offer subject to change based on premium movie channel availability Today’s Solution THE FAMILY CIRCUS Promotional prices ly ... starting at on FREE OVER 30 PREMIUM MOVIE CHANNELS mo. ths for 12 monHo pper Not eligible wi2 th or iPad offer. 9 3 7 1 5 For 3 months.* 2014 Conceptis Puzzles, Dist. by King Features Syndicate, Inc. 8 2 7 9 6 �Page 10 s The Daily Sentinel www.mydailysentinel.com Wednesday, February 26, 2014 Johnson sets women’s indoor record, men second at Capital By Randy Payton Special to OVP BEXLEY, Ohio — Clarissa Johnson rewrote the Rio Grande record books and Kyle Sanborn took top honors in the men’s 800-meter run, as the RedStorm track and field team put together an impressive showing at the Capital Classic hosted by Capital University on Saturday. Johnson, a freshman from Hillsboro, Ohio, placed second in the women’s 500-meter run with a time of 1:21.16, breaking the previous school indoor record of 1:22.49 set by Leslie Bales in 1998. Sanborn, a sophomore from Dover, OH, registered a time of 1:57.66 en route to his top honor. One other first place finish was accomplished for the RedStorm, as the freshman quartet of Austin Wilson (Gallipolis, OH), Charlie Ronan (Cincinnati, OH), Austin Moore (Swedesboro, NJ) and Nate Kosnich (Pickerington, OH) took top honors in the men’s 4x200-meter relay with a time of 1:33.69. Team races seemed to be Rio’s specialty on Saturday, as the men finished second in both the 4x400-meter relay and the distance medley with times of 3:32.01 and 11:10.63, respectively. The 4x400 team was a combination of Moore, Sanborn, senior Joe Taranto (Pickerington, OH) and freshman Floyd Lowry (St. Paris, OH), while the distance medley team consisted of Lowry, Taranto, freshman Dallas Guy (Buffalo, OH) and sophomore Jerrele Lyles (Dublin, OH). Rio Grande had eight other top-five finishes at the event: Taranto, who finished second in the men’s 1000-meter run with a time of 2:35.95; Ronan, who placed third in the men’s 200-meter dash with a time of 23.22; senior Kaleb Kimber (Salisbury, NC), who finsihed third in the men’s high jump with a leap of 1.88 meters; freshman Lauren Stacey (Bethel, OH), who placed third in the women’s weight throw with a toss of 13.7 meters; sophomore Lauren Rhoads (Wa- verly, OH), who finished fourth in the women’s weight throw with a toss of 13.50 meters; Wilson, who placed fourth in the men’s 60-meter dash with a time of 7.1 second. Wilson also finished fifth in the men’s 200-meter dash with a time of 23.45; and sophomore Carrie Coriell (Lucasville, OH), who placed fifth in the women’s shot put with a toss of 11.19 meters. Other notable finishes for Rio Grandes included Stacey also placed sixth in the women’s shot put with a throw of 10.98 meters; Moore, who placed sixth in the men’s 400-meter dash with a time of 52.58; freshman Nate Goodhart (Kent, OH), who finished sixth in the men’s 5000-me- ter run with a time of 16:26.48; Guy, who placed seventh in the men’s one-mile run with a time of 9:25.25; freshman Blake Freed (Uhrichsville, OH), who finished seventh in the men’s 5000-meter run with a time of 16:27.65; and freshman McKenzie Coriell (Lucasville, OH), who placed seventh in the women’s long jump with a jump of 4.73 meters. The Rio Grande men finished the day at second place out of 13 teams, finishing just 13 points behind winner Wilmington College. The RedStorm women finished eighth out of 14 teams. Rio Grande returns to action on Friday, March 7, at the Palmetto Classic. NBC’s Olympics: The eyes have it By David Bauder The Associated Press NBC Universal’s Sochi performance is partly measured in gold, too. Televising the Olympics is a complex, multi-million dollar business venture that seems to have more riding on it every two years. Beyond attracting millions of people to the broadcast network each night, NBC used the Sochi games to popularize streaming video, develop a cable sports network and launch entertainment programs. NBC was able to concentrate on these goals largely because pre-Olympic worries about terrorism, security and the safety of people uncomfortable with Russia’s gay rights laws faded when competition began. “If I’m NBC, and I’m looking at the biggest crisis being Bob Costas’ eyes, I think it’s been a success,” said Andrew Billings, a sports media professor at the University of Alabama and author of “Olympic Media: Inside the Biggest Show on Television.” Here’s a look at some of those moving parts: RATINGS NBC’s prime-time viewership averaged 22.1 million people through Friday. Although fading at the end, that number should still land between the 2010 Vancouver games (24.4 million), which had the advantage of live prime-time events, and the 2006 Olympics in Turin, Italy (20.2 million). The games are increasingly shutting off competition: 15 rivals’ programs, including “Grey’s Anatomy,” ”American Idol” and “Dancing With the Stars,” had higher ratings while competing against the Olympics in 2006, the Nielsen company said. Four years ago, three programs (all “American Idol”) beat the games. This year there were none. “This is the most dominant Olympics in prime-time ever,” said Jim Bell, executive producer of the Olympics for NBC. “That’s a pretty big deal and a pretty big statement to make, given some of the decisions we made that were not easy ones.” Internally, the most debated move was showing figure skating — the most popular sport in the winter games — live on cable’s NBC Sports Network during the day and repackaging the routines at night. That didn’t appear to siphon viewers from prime-time, as some feared. The final night of women’s figure skating had subpar ratings, but that was likely due to the gold medal fight being between a Russian and South Korean, with no American involved. And the daytime program launched Johnny Weir and Tara Lipinski, NBC’s breakout personalities in Sochi. REVENUES More importantly for NBC’s parent Comcast Corp., the company said the Sochi games will comfortably turn a profit. The company paid $775 million for the rights to the games, with expenses in the $100 million range. At the games’ outset, NBC said national ad sales had already exceeded $800 million, and more money was pouring in. Vancouver may have gotten higher ratings, but NBC lost more than $200 million on them — a combination of a weaker ad market and too much paid for the rights. The expansion of online offerings now gives NBC more space for ads, too. AGING AUDIENCE One concern for the future is the Olympics’ aging audience, a disturbing trend for advertisers. The median age of the Olympic viewer increased from 50.9 in 2006 to 55.1 this year, despite the addition of snowboard and halfpipe events designed to appeal to young people.

The Nationals defeated the Reds, 3-2. Reds move Simon into starter role with Latos hurt GOODYEAR, Ariz. (AP) — Alfredo Simon has spent most of his major league career as a reliever. He’s going to get a chance to be a starter for the Cincinnati Reds at the start of spring training. Mat Latos has been slowed by knee surgery, so manager Bryan Price has decided to use Simon as a starter during spring training. The idea is to get him ready to pitch more innings in case he’s needed when the season begins. Latos had minor surgery to repair torn cartilage in his left knee when camp opened. He’s making good progress, but the injury left him behind in his throwing program. Simon made 16 starts for Baltimore in 2011 and welcomes the chance to move into a starter’s role, even if it’s only temporary. “I’m ready to go,” Simon said. “I know it has been two years (since) I have started a game, but if I get the opportunity, I’m going to show Bryan Price that I can be a starter.” The 32-year-old had started a total of three games in the majors when the Orioles moved him into the rotation in 2011. He went 4-9 with a 4.90 ERA in 16 starts and seven relief appearances that season. The Reds claimed him off waivers from the Orioles on April 3, 2012. He has been a valuable right-handed reliever for Cincinnati, going 3-2 with a 2.66 ERA in 36 relief appearances in 2012 and 6-4 with a 2.87 ERA in a careerhigh 63 appearances last season. Price planned to use him out of the bullpen again until Latos got hurt. Left-hander Tony Cingrani was the main option as an extra AP Sports Briefs Former Ohio State player pleads to drug charges COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — A former Ohio State University football player previously caught up in the school’s memorabilia scandal faces a four-year prison term after pleading guilty to drug trafficking. Ray Small is to be sentenced April 3 after pleading guilty Monday in Columbus to three felony counts of drug trafficking. He also faces drug trafficking charges in Meigs County in southeastern Ohio. The Columbus Dispatch reports that the 26-year-old Small was indicted in July, three months after Columbus police found heroin and prescription pain and anti-anxiety pills during a search of his apartment. Small, a wide receiver at OSU from 2006 to 2009, was one of several players involved in a high-profile football memorabilia scandal that led to the forced resignation of coach Jim Tressel. Smith leading drive to make opening day holiday NEW YORK (AP) — Ozzie Smith wants the federal government to make opening day of the major league baseball season a national holiday.

He has a very, very durable arm. We have to look at him in longer stretches.” If Latos is ready to pitch at the start of the season, Simon can move back into the bullpen. “I like starting,” Simon said. “I am here to do whatever they want. All of my career (in the minors) I was a starter. Sometimes I would throw one or two innings. I can do more than that. I wanted to keep pitching. I miss it.” tures within 30 days under the We the People petitioning program, which would trigger a review by the Obama administration. The effort is being backed by Anheuser-Busch InBev’s Budweiser brand. “Coming from St. Louis, of course being such as baseball town, it’s sort of an unofficial holiday, opening day, so they thought it would be a good idea for Mr. Smith to just take a trip to Washington,” Smith said Tuesday during a telephone interview. The 59-year-old Smith, known as the “Wizard of Oz” for his great glove, played for the St. Louis Cardinals from 1982-96 after spending his first four big league seasons. He was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 2002. “I don’t know exactly what the odds of success are,” Smith said. “With the Budweiser machine behind it, I’m sure that we’ll get the 100,000 signatures.” Anheuser-Busch InBev said 10 percent of respondents said they had skipped work to attend or watch an MLB opener, according to a survey by KRC Research. The online survey of 1,004 Americans 21 or older was conducted from Feb. 13-16, and there was a 95 percent level of confidence the error margin was plus-or-minus 3.09 percent. Hall of Famer Dawson to receive Lamar Hunt Award KANSAS CITY, Mo.
