Pomeroy receives ARC grant for water project
By Sarah Hawley

shawley@civitasmedia.com

POMEROY — The Appalachian Regional Commission recently announced the awarding
of a $200,000 grant to improve
the water systems in the Village
of Pomeroy.
U.S. Sen. Sherrod Brown, DOhio, announced the funds had
been awarded to the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency/
village of Pomeroy for the Pomeroy Water System Improvements

project. The project will provide
improved water service to 701
households and 123 businesses.
“Ohio’s rural communities and
small towns face a heavy burden
when financing infrastructure projects,” Brown said. “This improvement project will provide residents
and businesses with a modern
water system that improves water
quality and encourages investment
in the village of Pomeroy.”
Pomeroy Mayor Jackie Welker
said the grant will fund a portion
of the project to be completed

later this year in the village. He
estimated work to begin as early
as June, with bids to potentially
be advertised in May.
Improvements as part of the
project will include upgrades to
the water treatment plant and
booster stations, and repairs and
replacements to storage facilities
and waterlines. Upgrades at the
treatment plant will include work
on the wells and filters. These
improvements will provide an additional 200,000 gallons of water
per day to the current system.

The project will include the replacement of water lines on Butternut Avenue, Mulberry Avenue
and the downtown area. Some
sewer line work will also be
completed. The total project is
estimated at $1 million — much
of which will be grant funded,
according to Welker. There will
still be a local match, although
that amount is not known for
sure at this time.
Paving and sidewalk improvements also will be completed in
the downtown area. The project

does not include funds to replace or
repair parking meters which have
been the topic of much discussion
at recent village council meetings.
Brown is working to help communities around Ohio struggling
to afford costly but necessary
renovations to sewer systems.
Last year, he introduced the
Clean Water Affordability Act to
help communities make renovations to outdated sewer systems,
while improving water quality
and keeping rates affordable for
residents and small business.

House of Representatives
passes FEMA Affordable Act
WASHINGTON — Congressman Bill Johnson, RMarietta, released the following statement after the U.S.
House of Representatives voted 306-91 to pass the Homeowner Flood Insurance Affordability Act of 2014:
“I’ve heard from many constituents across eastern and
southeastern Ohio who’ve seen their flood insurance premiums increase dramatically overnight. In some cases,
premiums are as much as 10 times higher than in previous years. Updates from the Federal Emergency Management Agency to floodplain maps are now forcing people
to consider default on their home mortgages, or in the
case of some small businesses, close their operations.
“The Homeowner Flood Insurance Affordability Act
is an important step forward in alleviating some of the
burden that’s been placed on hardworking Americans,
but there’s still much work to be done. This legislation
protects the solvency of the flood insurance program and
protects homeowners and business owners from unreasonable rate increases.
“If it were up to the House we would privatize flood insurance, just like car insurance, or homeowners insurance
and get the government out of the market. However, that
goal will take time; meanwhile, this legislation provides
relief to those hit hardest by FEMA’s flawed implementation of flood insurance reform.”

Woman denies slave labor allegations
By John P. Coyne
Associated Press

YOUNGSTOWN, Ohio — One of two
people charged with enslaving a mentally
disabled woman for two years with her
child denied on Wednesday that she hurt
the woman or locked her inside a filthy
basement room.
Jessica Hunt told jurors that she tried to
help the woman care for her daughter and
blamed two others who already pleaded
guilty and testified against her and her
boyfriend.
“I was not doing bad things to her,”
Hunt said in federal court.
Hunt and Jordie Callahan have pleaded
not guilty to charges accusing them of
raiding the woman’s bank account and
public assistance and forcing her to cooperate through sexual and physical abuse.
Prosecutors said the woman and her
daughter were threatened with a python
and pit bulls while being forced to live in
a damp, dark basement with a lock on the

door and no bathroom in the northern
Ohio town of Ashland. They said the ordeal lasted from early 2011 to late 2012.
The two people who pleaded guilty earlier in the forced-labor case are scheduled
for sentencing this month.
Dezerah Silsby, who was accused of using ice cream to lure the woman and her
child to captivity, entered a plea under the
terms of a sealed agreement. She earlier
testified that she drove the woman and
Hunt to an ATM to get money using the
woman’s government funds debit card.
Hunt said that the woman gave her the
debit card because she didn’t have a purse
to keep it and that she never ordered her
to give it up.
The woman volunteered to injure herself, Hunt said, to help the defendants obtain pain pills. Hunt said Silsby slammed
the woman’s hand in a door and then
smashed her hand with a rock before she
went to a hospital to get the medicine.
“I didn’t tell her to do that, and she offered me the pills,” Hunt said.

Patrol continues
Budget bills to increase for
focus on impaired
most Columbia Gas customers
driving arrests in ‘14
Staff Report
GDTnews@civitasmedia.com

OHIO VALLEY — As part of the patrol’s ongoing effort to contribute to a safer Ohio, troopers are continuing
their increased focus on impaired driving enforcement –
and these efforts are paying off. For the second year in a
row, troopers issued more than 24,000 citations for OVI.
OVI-related crashes accounted for 33 percent of all fatal
crashes in Ohio. This is down from an average of 43 percent from the 2010-12 time periods.
There were 11,226 OVI-related crashes on Ohio roadways, killing 330 and injuring 6,843. Speed was a contributing factor in 60 percent of all OVI-related crashes.
Franklin, Hamilton and Cuyahoga counties accounted for
nearly 1 in 4 OVI-related crashes in 2013. Franklin County
has led the state in OVI-related crashes for the last five
years.
“We can’t fight the battle against impaired driving on
our own — we need your commitment to make our roads
safe,” said Lt. Max Norris. “You can contribute to a safer
Ohio by actively influencing friends and family to make
safe, responsible decisions — like planning ahead to designate a driver and insisting that everyone in the vehicle
is buckled up.”
Last year, state troopers from the Gallia/Meigs Post arrested 208 impaired drivers in this area.
The public is encouraged to call #677 to report impaired drivers, drug activity or stranded motorists.

COLUMBUS — Higher natural gas prices and a much colder
than normal winter will result in
an increase in the bills of most
Columbia Gas of Ohio residential customers participating in
the Budget Payment Plan.
Effective immediately, the
average monthly budget payment plan amount will increase
by 30 percent, or $20, for most
residential customers participating in the Budget Payment Plan.
The increase from the current
average of $67 to $87 is reflective of a significantly colder than
normal winter that resulted in
higher market prices for natural
gas and increased consumption.
Columbia Gas reviews budget accounts each winter to determine the impact of weather
conditions and swings in the
market price of natural gas.
The company adjusts budget
customers’ payment amounts,
if necessary, to keep them on
track with actual account balances. Each customer’s budget

billing amount is different, and
may be higher or lower than the
average.
The Budget Payment Plan
spreads natural gas costs evenly
over a 12-month period, lessening the impact of winter heating bills. The amount is based
on historical gas usage patterns
for the home, the projected cost
of natural gas on the wholesale
market, and current rates for
service and delivery.
Approximately 72 percent of
a wintertime natural gas bill is
comprised of the cost of natural gas. The best way to impact
and lower natural gas bills is to
lower consumption. Columbia
Gas offers several energy efficiency programs for all income
levels. These programs provide
for a home energy inspection

New SAT: The essay portion is to become optional
By Kimberly Hefling
Associated Press

WASHINGTON — Essay optional. No penalties
for wrong answers. The
SAT college entrance exam
is undergoing sweeping revisions.
Changes in the annual
test that millions of students
take will also do away with
some vocabulary words
such as “prevaricator” and
“sagacious” in favor of
words more commonly used
in school and on the job.
College Board officials
said Wednesday the update — the first since 2005
— is needed to make the
exam more representative
of what students study in
high school and the skills
they need to succeed in
college and afterward. The
test should offer “worthy
challenges, not artificial obstacles,” said College Board
President David Coleman at
an event in Austin, Texas.
The new exam will be
rolled out in 2016, so this
year’s ninth graders will be
the first to take it, in their
junior year. The new SAT
will continue to test reading, writing and math skills,
with an emphasis on analysis. Scoring will return to a

1,600-point scale last used
in 2004, with a separate
score for the optional essay.
For the first time, students will have the option of
taking the test on computers.
Once the predominant
college admissions exam,
the SAT in recent years has
been overtaken in popularity by the competing ACT,
which has long been considered more curriculum based.
The ACT offers an optional
essay and announced last
year it would begin making computer-based testing
available in 2015.
One of the biggest changes in the SAT is that the
extra penalty for wrong answers, which discouraged
guessing, will be eliminated.
And some vocabulary words
will be replaced with words
such as “synthesis” and “empirical” that are used more
widely in classrooms and in
work settings.
Each exam will include a
passage drawn from “founding documents” such as
the Declaration of Independence or from discussions
they’ve inspired.
Instead of testing a wide
range of math concepts,
the new exam will focus
on a few areas, like algebra,

deemed most needed for
college and life afterward.
A calculator will be allowed
only on certain math questions, instead of on the entire math portion.
Tania Perez, 17, a senior
at Capital City Public Charter School in Washington,
said she would like to have
taken the test on a computer — and with the vocabulary changes.
“Some of the SAT words
that we’ve seen, well personally, I’ve seen, taking the SAT
… I’ve never heard of them
and stuff,” Perez said. “That
would have been better for
me. I think my score would
have been a lot higher.”
Aja McCrae, 14, a freshman at Bell Multicultural
High School in Washington, will be in the first class
to take the new SAT. In an
interview outside her high
school, McCrae said taking the test on a computer
could help but she wonders
if there will be technical
problems.
“The math portion, with
a calculator, I think it should
be used on the entire test. I
don’t like that change,” McCrae said.
Jim Rawlins, the director
of admissions at the University of Oregon, said the

changes appear “potentially
helpful and useful” but it will
take a few years to know the
impact, after the students
who take the revised test go
on to college.
“It’s all in the details of
how it all plays out,” said
Rawlins, a former president
of the National Associa-

tion for College Admission
Counseling.
Some high school and college admissions counselors
said eliminating the penalty
for wrong answers and making the essay optional could
make the test less stressful
for some students.
“It will encourage students

to consider the questions
more carefully and to attempt them, where before if
a cursory glance at a question
made it seem too complex to
them, they may go ahead and
skip that question,” said Jeff
Rickey, dean of admissions
at St. Lawrence University in
Canton, N.Y.

The CFHS program also helps to support activities in
the Meigs and Southern school districts.
A second large donation came as the result of the work
of local 4-H clubs. The Forever 4-H club and 4-H for Fun
club organized a donation drive in conjunction with this
past weekend’s 4-H Kickoff event.
More than 1,000 items were donated to the Eagle Pack
program as a result of the drive. Items included snack
crackers, peanut butter, jello, fruit, applesauce and pudding cups, microwavable meals, cereal bars, juice and
snack items.
Since the Eagle Pack Program runs solely on donations
from the community and community-based organizations, donations like the 4-H groups provided ensure that
the program continues. The program sends home healthy
food packs once a month with students who have limited
food available to them on the weekend.
“We are so thankful to the Forever 4H and the 4H for
Fun Groups. The kids in those groups worked so hard to
gather items that would help out their peers. It is wonderful to see these students making such a difference in their
community,” Will.
The coordinators of the program are looking for specific items to keep the packs consistent. These items include a jar of peanut butter, microwavable dinners (spaghetti, ravioli, etc.), individual microwavable macaroni
and cheese, breakfast bars, juice boxes, fruit cups, pud-

ding cups, crackers, and healthy snacks.
“Occasionally we have students who have a special
situation. Something has suddenly changed, and their
family could benefit from some extra help. In that case
we would make an emergency pack if we have items available. It may not have the exact same items in it that the
monthly Eagle Packs have in them, but they have things
that will help the families get through the difficult time.
We include the extra items that are donated in those
emergency packs,” said Will said.
To date, two sets of Eagle Packs have been sent home
with students, with a third to go out later this month.
“We are sending out our third round of packs at the end
of March,” said Will. “Each month the number of students
participating is growing. We are receiving positive feedback from teachers, parents, and students. When similar
programs have been implemented in schools around the
nation, they have seen tremendous results with improvements in academics, school attendance, behavior, and
overall health. Students who are hungry simply cannot
learn as well as a well-nourished child.”
Anyone wishing to donate or who would like more information can contact the Eagle Pack Program at (740)

Donations can also be mailed to Eastern Elementary,

OPINION

Once upon a moonbeam
By Kathleen Parker
The Washington Post

WASHINGTON — In
matters cultural, California has always been America’s petri dish. Whatever
happened in California
usually infiltrated the rest
of the country.
Today there is reason
to hope that other trends
collecting on our far-left
coast
(geographically
speaking) might infect
the nation, especially in
matters of governance
and fiscal responsibility.
Jerry Brown, about
to begin a run for his
fourth term as governor,
has shed the “Governor
Moonbeam” moniker that
he has worn like an itchy
suit for nearly 40 years,
compliments of famed
Chicago columnist Mike
Royko (RIP, 1997). Even
Royko later regretted the
nickname and tried to
retract it after hearing
Brown speak at the 1980
Democratic National Convention, saying Brown
seemed to be the only
Democrat who understood the challenges that
lay ahead.
There is cause today
to resurrect this observation.
In his elder years —
not to be confused with
elderly — Brown has
traded earlier dreams of a
California space program
for more down-to-earth
policies that reflect a respect for non-ideological
pragmatism. At times, he
sounds more Republican
than Democrat and, not
to get carried away, as
though he may be sipping
a little tea on the side.
Since becoming governor again in 2011 following a decades-long hiatus
(he also served as governor from 1975 to 1983),
Brown has turned around
the state’s budget from
deficit to surplus. When
NBC’s David Gregory
asked Brown whether his
fiscal success in Califor-

nia carried any lessons
for Washington, Brown
was candid and jaw-droppingly refreshing.
“Well, you’ve got to be
tough on spending. No
matter how liberal you
want to be,” he said. Did
he say tough on spending?
Hold on to your flip-flops,
there’s more.
“At the end of the day,
fiscal discipline is the fundamental predicate of a
free society. And you just
have to maintain that.”
Listening to the interview, I did wonder for a
few seconds whether Republican John Boehner
had body-snatched the
governor and was using
Brown to channel his
thoughts. Indeed, Brown
sounded more like the
speaker of the House
than the president of the
United States, whose own
$4 trillion budget was just
released.
Although Brown and
President Obama share
similar goals, especially
in infrastructure spending (Brown wants to build
a high-speed rail system
in California), the governor recognizes that such
projects have to be considered within a broader
commitment to balance.
“Spend more. But in
the framework of adjusting your long-term liabilities. And that’s not the
case today,” said Brown.
As one example of how
Brown has had to stand
tough on spending, his
budget did not include an
item pushed by California’s Democratic Senate
president pro tempore
to create a universal prekindergarten program for
4-year-olds. The program
would have cost the state
about $1 billion a year to
benefit 350,000 children.
When did Jerry Brown
start hating 4-year-olds?
He doesn’t, of course,
but reducing spending is
always painful for someone. It is also sometimes
necessary.

On other subjects of
current interest, Brown
observed
how
much
things have changed in
the four decades since
he was first governor and
dating Linda Ronstadt.
On pot legalization, he
was again sane — and
conservative.
First, Brown said he’d
like to see how things
play out in Colorado and
Washington, where recreational marijuana use has
been legalized. Second,
he said that while some
things are fine in a certain
amount, we have a tendency to go to extremes.
“How many people can
get stoned and still have
a great state or a great nation? The world’s pretty
dangerous, very competitive. I think we need to
stay alert, if not 24 hours
a day, more than some of
the potheads might be
able to put together.”
All things conservative
are not always sane, needless to say. And liberals
have moved the country
forward in necessary
ways. Balance is the key,
and it would appear that
Brown has found his center.
His comments took
many by surprise not
only because they don’t
jibe with our recollection
of Governor Moonbeam
but because they make so
much sense.
If the political center
where most Americans
dwell is starved for a leader, Jerry Brown may be
the model for what they
seek.
It’s too bad that he essentially has conferred
the Democratic presidential nomination on Hillary Clinton. Some would
say Brown is too old and
perhaps, at 75, he is. But
if youth brought us Governor Moonbeam, an
older, wiser Brown gives
us hope.
By all means, please
pass the petri dish.

Obama, the feckless tyrant

By Dana Milbank
The Washington Post

WASHINGTON — President Obama is
such a weak strongman. What’s more, he
is a feeble dictator and a timid tyrant.
That, at any rate, is Republicans’ critique of him. With Russia’s invasion of
Ukraine, Obama’s critics pivoted seamlessly from complaining about his overreach to fretting that he is being too cautious. Call it Operation Oxymoron.
Last Wednesday, I sat in a House hearing and listened to Republicans describe
Obama exercising “unparalleled use of
executive power” and operating an “uberpresidency.” They accused him of acting
like a “king” and a “monarch,” of making
the United States like a “dictatorship” or
a “totalitarian government” by exercising
“imperial” and “magisterial power.”
But after events in Ukraine, this very
tyrant was said to be so weak that it’s
“shocking.”
“We have a weak and indecisive president that invites aggression,” Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., proclaimed Sunday
on CNN.
Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., told the
annual gathering of the American Israel
Public Affairs Committee on Monday
that Obama has “a feckless foreign policy where nobody believes in America’s
strength anymore.”
Rep. Michael Turner, R-Ohio, told
Bloomberg News that “we’re projecting
weakness.” And Intelligence Committee
Chairman Mike Rogers, R-Mich., told Fox
News that the administration is “playing
marbles” and that the Russians are “running circles around us.”
In theory, it is possible for Obama to
rule domestic politics with an iron fist and
yet play the 98-pound weakling in foreign
affairs. But it doesn’t make a lot of sense
that one person would vacillate between
those two extremes. A better explanation
is Obama’s critics are so convinced that
he is wrong about everything that they
haven’t paused to consider the consistency of their accusations.
Obama is neither tyrant nor pushover.
In general, the criticism of him being inconsistent and indecisive is closer to the
mark. But the accusation that he has been
feckless in Ukraine is still dubious because
those demanding a stronger response have
been unable to come up with one.
After Obama threatened Friday that
“there will be costs” to Russia’s action in
Ukraine, my colleague Charles Krauthammer, who in the past likened the president
to Napoleon, said on Fox News that “everybody is shocked by the weakness of
Obama’s statement.”
But if Obama had made specific threats

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.

toward Russia, he would have set himself
up for the conservatives’ criticism of his
Syria policy — that he was drawing “red
lines” he wasn’t prepared to enforce. And
suppose he were willing to draw red lines
and back them up with military might?
Inevitably, he’d be accused of trying to distract from Obamacare or other domestic
troubles, as he was when he threatened a
military strike on the Syrian regime.
Even critics of the “weak” Obama response don’t propose a military response
in Ukraine. When Russia invaded Georgia
in 2008, there was, similarly, no consideration of military action by President
George W. Bush’s administration, and
Vladimir Putin got away with his aggression.
So what would Obama’s critics have him
do? Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla., published
an eight-point plan for Ukraine in Politico
magazine over the weekend. But it included things that the president is already doing (sending Secretary of State John Kerry
to Kiev) or that are strictly symbolic (forcing Russia to veto a U.N. Security Council resolution, even though conservatives
routinely dismiss the United Nations).
Another of the “decisive” actions Rubio
proposed: stalling confirmation of Rose
Gottemoeller, the acting undersecretary
of state for arms control. Paul Waldman,
in the American Prospect, imagined the
delay of this obscure official’s confirmation causing Putin to “bellow with rage.”
Putin also would be swayed, no doubt,
by Rubio’s “decisive” call to boycott the
June G-8 summit in Russia; Obama, by
contrast, had merely cut off planning for
the gathering. The difference between the
two positions is one of fine calibration,
not a contrast between strong and weak.
But the condemnation continues, unrestrained by consistency. The conservative
commentariat has turned on a dime from
talk of “King Obama” to worry about the
“price of weakness” and the president’s
missing “backbone.”
A little over a month ago, the Heritage
Foundation president, former Sen. Jim DeMint, R-S.C., called Obama a “playground
bully” and an “imperial president.” Now
DeMint accuses him of making “weak
statements” that will “only invite aggression.”
Six weeks ago, Rep. Tom Cotton, RArk., a Senate candidate, posted a photo
of Obama on Facebook with the messages
“Stop the imperial president” and “Stop
the Obama power grab.” Now Cotton has
issued a statement accusing the president
of “trembling inaction.”
Grabbing power with trembling inaction? Only the most diffident of despots
could pull that off.

W.Va. finance panel
waters down min wage bill
By Sarah Plummer
Associated Press

CHARLESTON, W.Va. — The West Virginia Finance
Committee voted Wednesday to water down a house
bill that would raise the minimum wage, proposing it be
raised by $1.50 over three years instead of two.
Under the bill amended Wednesday, the wage would
increase from $7.25 to $7.50 an hour in January 2015, to
$8 in January 2016, and $8.75 in January 2017. Originally
the House approved a bill that would raise the minimum
wage 75 cents each year over two years.
Senator John Unger, D-Berkeley, opposed the amendment. He said minimum wage workers will lose out on
$1,040 in potential earnings in 2015 and another $520
the following year.
Janet Vineyard, president of the state’s oil marketers
and grocers association, indicated she wasn’t for raising
the minimum wage, but said she would support the bill if
amended to raise wages over three years.
“Starting with a 25 cent raise doesn’t shock us so much.
When you raise minimum wage, everyone else thinks they
need a raise,” she said.
Raymona Kinneberg, a lobbyist representing ResCare,
said raising the minimum wage would affect Medicare
and other benefit programs. She said raising the standard
more drastically than 25 cents would cause families to fall
out of the programs, which provide them with more support than the wage raise would compensate for.
Unger asked if the alternative would be to keep minimum wage workers poor so they can keep their benefits.
“This shows the system is broken,” he said.
John Junkins, acting commissioner for the West Virginia Division of Labor, said the department didn’t have
an issue with the original proposal to raise wages across
two years. “Take into consideration that $7.25 in today’s
society isn’t much for a sole supporter to support their
family on. Anything that can be done to help people in
minimum wage jobs would be great.”
Sen. Clark Barnes, R-Randolph, noted that while Junkins spoke in favor of wage workers’ interests, he was an
administrator. Barnes asked for someone representing
labor unions to speak to the amendment, but no labor
representatives were present.
“As I sit here and think about this, we are the people
who should protect the working man,” said Senator
Douglas Facemire, a democrat from Braxton. “Vote your
conscience. These people have no protection. They are
out here trying to go to work every day and trying to
carve out a living for themselves and their families.”
Roman Prezioso, committee chairman and a democrat
from Marion, said the amendment was developed with
input from various groups, including labor and business.
The bill will now move to the Senate floor for action.

WASHINGTON — Warding off
the specter of election-year health
insurance
cancellations,
the
Obama administration Wednesday announced a two-year extension for individual policies that
don’t meet requirements of the
new health care law.
The decision helps defuse a
political problem for Democrats
in tough re-election battles this
fall, especially for senators who in
2010 stood with President Barack
Obama and voted to pass his
health overhaul.
The extension was part of a major package of regulations that sets
ground rules for 2015, the second
year of government-subsidized
health insurance markets under
Obama’s law — and the first year
that larger employers will face a
requirement to provide coverage.
Hundreds of pages of provisions affecting insurers, employers and consumers were issued
by the Treasury Department and
the Department of Health and
Human Services. It will likely take
days for lawyers and consultants
to fully assess the implications.
The cancellation last fall of at
least 4.7 million individual policies was one of the most damaging issues in the transition to
a new insurance system under
Obama’s law. The wave of cancellations hit around the time that
the new HealthCare.gov website
was overwhelmed with technical
problems that kept many consumers from signing up for coverage.
It contradicted Obama’s promise
that you can keep your insurance
plan if you like it.

Sick of hearing about the health care law? Plenty of people have tuned out
after all the political jabber and website woes. Now is the time to tune back
in before its too late. The big deadline is coming March 31.

The latest extension would be
valid for policies issued up to Oct.
1, 2016. It builds on an earlier reprieve issued by the White House.
Other highlights of the regulations include:
— An extra month for the 2015
open enrollment season. It will
still start Nov. 15, as originally
scheduled, after the congressional midterm elections. But it will
extend for an additional month,
through February 15 of next
year. The administration says the
schedule change gives insurers,
states and federal agencies more
time to prepare. This year’s open
enrollment started Oct. 1 and
ends Mar. 31.
— New maximum out-of-pocket cost levels for 2015. Annual
deductibles and copayments for
plans sold on the insurance exchanges can’t exceed $6,600 for

individuals or $13,200 for families. While not as high as what
some insurance plans charged before the law, cost sharing remains
a stretch for many.
—An update on an unpopular
per-member fee paid by most major employer health plans. The assessment for 2015 will be $44 per
enrollee, according to the regulations. Revenues from the fee go
to help insurers cushion the cost
of covering people with serious
medical problems. Under the law,
insurance companies can no longer turn the sick away. The perperson fee has been criticized by
major employers. It is $63 per enrollee this year, and is scheduled
to phase out after 2016. Some
plans, including multi-employer
arrangements administered by
labor unions, will be exempt from
fees in 2015 and 2016.

OVP area lands 12 on AP district boys basketball teams
By Alex Hawley

ahawley@civitasmedia.com

ATHENS, Ohio — A total of 12
locals from both Gallia and Meigs
counties were chosen to the Associated Press Southeast All-District
Boys Basketball teams for the 201314 season, as selected by a panel of
AP sports writers within the southeastern Ohio area.
Southern junior Tristen Wolfe was
the lone first team selection in the
OVP area as he averaged 15.8 points
per game. Tornadoes forward Dennis Teaford was named third team
for the Purple and Gold and averaged 9.6 points per game. Taylor Mc-

Nickle received special mention for
Southern.
Staying in Division IV, the South
Gallia Rebels were led by second
team selection, sophomore Landon
Hutchinson with 11.3 points per
game. Rebels sophomore Brayden
Greer was named honorable mention
for SGHS, while Eastern freshman
Jett Facemyer was also named special mention.
In Division II, Gallia Academy
sophomore Wes Jarrell and Meigs senior Damon Jones both earned third
team honors. Jarrell marked 10.3
points per game for the Blue Devils, while Jones averaged 13 points
per game for the Maroon and Gold.

GAHS senior Reid Eastman and Marauders junior Isaiah English were
both named special mention in D-II.
In Division III, River Valley earned
two special mention selections, senior Seann Roberts and sophomore
Tyler Twyman.
The 2013-14 players of the year are
Warren’s Evan French (D-2), Valley’s
Hayden Dunn (D-3) and Peebles’
Beau Justice (D-4). The 2013-14
coaches of the year are Logan Elm’s
Doug Stiverson (D-2), Valley’s Scott
Rolfe (D-3) and Peebles’ Josh Arey
(D-4).

The Lady Eagles
face Waterford
again in regionals
By Bryan Walters

bwalters@civitasmedia.com

TUPPERS
PLAINS,
Ohio — It’s almost like deja
vu again … and everybody
has something to prove.
Three of the four teams
competing this weekend
in the Division IV Southeast Regional girls basketball tournament were at
Pickerington High School
North a year ago for the
exact same reason. And
this time, three of those
four schools are looking to
change the final outcome.
The Eastern girls basketball team begins defense of
its Region 15 championship against a familiar opponent Thursday night, as
the AP poll champion Lady
Eagles battle Waterford in
a D-4 regional semifinal at
Jackson High School.
The top-ranked Lady
Eagles (23-1) had little
trouble in getting back to
their fourth consecutive
Sweet 16 appearance, as
the Green and Gold won
each of their three postseason games by at least
40 points. In fact, EHS has
outscored its opponents by

a 253-103 margin in the
tournament — which averages out to 84.3 points for
and 34.3 points against.
The Lady Eagles have
also had success against
the Lady Wildcats (18-7)
this season, as EHS earned
the program’s first season
sweep since 2001 following wins of 65-36 and 7544 this winter. Eastern is
also the last team to defeat
WHS, which owns a sixgame winning streak headed into Thursday night.
The Lady Cats will be
making their eighth trip to
regionals in the last nine
years, which includes a
heartbreaking 52-50 loss
to Newark Catholic in last
year’s regional semifinal.
Their streak at regionals
was also snapped at six
straight years in 2012 during a 47-43 setback to EHS
in a district final at Jackson.
Waterford — a four-seed
— got to the Sweet 16 after
posting an impressive 68-34
win over Southern in the sectionals, then gutted out a 4845 overtime win over Peebles
and 44-42 triumph over South
Webster in the districts.

South Gallia knocks off Titans, 50-43
By Alex Hawley

ahawley@civitasmedia.com

ATHENS, Ohio — In basketball its all about how
you react to your opposition.
The South Gallia Boys basketball team trailed
Portsmouth Notre Dame 43-42 with 2:21 remaining
in Tuesday’s Division IV district semi-final at the Convocation Center on the campus of Ohio University. It
was the first time the Rebels had trailed since early in
the first quarter and their reaction was truly remarkable. SGHS held the Titans scoreless over the remainder of the game and rallied to take the 50-43 triumph.
“We talk about being the underdog but we don’t feel
that we are an underdog,” said second year South Gallia head coach Larry Howell. “Our record doesn’t quite
reflect how good we can be. We are playing some good
basketball right now, the kids are playing together,
there’s not any animosity or selfishness among these
kids, they’ve bought in and we are playing together.”
Notre Dame (18-6) grabbed the early 3-2 lead at the
six minute mark of the first quarter but South Gallia (11-11) answered with an 11-4 run. NDHS took
the momentum back with three points in the final 30
seconds of the first quarter to cut the deficit to 13-10
after eight minutes.
The Rebel defense came up big in the second period, holding the Titans to just 3-of-16 shooting from
the field. On offense the Red and Gold marked 14
points in the quarter, led by Landon Hutchinson with
eight, to take the 27-16 lead into the break.
The Rebels expanded their lead to 31-17 early in
the second half but the Titans trimmed the lead to
single digits with a 5-0 spurt. Both SGHS and NDHS
marked five points in the final 2:30 of the third quarter and the Rebels held a 36-27 advantage with eight
minutes to play.
Titans began the finale with a 10-2 run to cut the
SGHS lead to 38-37 but the Brayden Greer and Ethan
Spurlock marked back-to-back baskets to push the
lead to 42-37 with three minutes remaining. Notre
Dame hit a pair trifectas within 30 seconds of each
other to take the lead with 2:21 remaining.
With two minutes left in the regulation Greer hit
a pair of free throw to put SGHS back on top. Spurlock hit a layup with 29 seconds to play, expanding
the lead to three points, while Greer added four more
free throws in the final 30 seconds to seal the 50-43
victory and the spot in Saturday’s district final.

South Gallia sophomore Brayden Greer (3) goes for a
layup during the Rebels district semifinal victory over
Notre Dame, Tuesday night in Athens.

“In the fourth quarter they were coming over and were
aggravated that we were turning it over on offense,” said
Howell. “I told them its not the offense, its that we’re
not getting stops on defense. These kids like to be challenged and they accepted the challenge, they sat down in
the stance and guarded them (Notre Dame).”
Greer led South Gallia with 13 points, including an
8-of-9 performance from the free throw line. Spurlock
marked 12 points, all in the second half, while Landon
Hutchinson had eight points, all of which came in the
second quarter. Joesph Ehman hit a pair of triples for
six points, while Devin Lucas and Ethan Swain both
added five points. Mikey Wheeler finished with one
point to round out the Rebel scoring.

Browns release troubled
WR Davone Bess
CLEVELAND (AP) —
The Browns have parted
ways with wide receiver
Davone Bess, following one
disappointing season and a
disturbing off season.
Cleveland released the
troubled wide receiver on
Wednesday, an expected
ending after Bess was arrested in January for assaulting a law enforcement
officer at an airport and
other bizarre behavior.
Bess is still owed $3.06
million for 2014, but the
Browns may try to recoup
some of that money.
The 28-year-old Bess
was acquired last April in
a trade with Miami and
the Browns immediately
signed him to a three-year,
$11.5 million contract extension that included $5.75
million guaranteed. The
Browns believed the sure-

handed Bess would fill a
hole at slot receiver and
bring leadership to a young
group of wideouts.
However, Bess didn’t
deliver on the field and his
personal problems built up
in recent months.
Bess finished with careerlows in catches (42) and
yards (362) last season, and
he had several crucial drops
that hurt the Browns. Bess,
who spent his first five NFL
seasons with the Dolphins,
also muffed a punt in Kansas
City, costing the Browns a
chance to upset the thenunbeaten Chiefs. He never
ducked any criticism for the
poor performance, owned up
to his mistakes and bounced
back with two touchdown
catches the following week
in a win over Baltimore.
However, he missed
Cleveland’s final two games

for personal reasons.
In Jan. 16, Bess posted a
photo on his Twitter page
of a small package containing what appeared to be
marijuana. The photo was
later deleted.
The next day, Bess was
charged with assault on
an officer, resisting arrest
without violence and disorderly conduct following

Freshmen ladies are
making their mark
among Big Ten women
By Eric Olson
Associated Press

The Big Ten women’s basketball tournament will be a
showcase for the conference’s wealth of young talent —
and there’ll be lots of scoring if the regular-season trend
continues.
The tournament opens with four games Thursday in
Indianapolis. The winner of Sunday’s championship game
earns an automatic berth in the NCAA tournament.
For the second straight year, the top four seeds are No.
11 Penn State (22-6) and No. 19 Michigan State (21-8) —
the regular-season co-champions — and No. 16 Nebraska
(22-6) and No. 17 Purdue (21-7).
Purdue, which has won six straight games, is the twotime defending champion. The Boilermakers have put
together their longest win streak of the season, and the
longest current streak in the Big Ten, without point guard
KK Houser. The three-year starter tore the anterior cruciate ligament in her left knee on Feb. 2.
“I feel really good about the team,” Purdue coach Sharon Versyp said. “The Big Ten is exceptionally tough day
in and day out. We’ve played the top teams in the country, we’ve beaten Nebraska twice. Right now we hopefully
have a good (NCAA) seeding no matter what happens.”
While the Boilers rely on experienced players, a lot of
other Big Ten teams have had newcomers play prominent
roles.
“This is the strongest freshman class I’ve ever seen,”
said Lisa Bluder of No. 23 Iowa, who’s in her 14th season with the Hawkeyes and the Big Ten’s longest tenured
coach. “That bodes well for the future of our conference.”
Michigan State relied heavily on two freshmen to finish
with five straight wins and tie Penn State for the regularseason title. Aerial Powers led the Spartans with 13.8
points and 8 rebounds a game, and Tori Jankoshka averaged 12.7 points.
Jankoshka, Michigan’s Miss Basketball last year, took
over at point guard after junior Kiana Johnson was suspended in early February for violating team rules.
“Tori was the one who without a doubt has really given
us a spark,” MSU coach Suzy Merchant said. “She gives
us a different dynamic to our offense. She was ready, and
she’s super intelligent when it comes to the game of basketball.”
Powers was joined on the league’s all-freshman team by
Indiana’s Larryn Brooks, Iowa’s Ally Disterhoft, Northwestern’s Nia Coffey and Minnesota’s Amanda Zahui B.
Zahui B. was freshman of the year after averaging 15.1
points, 2.9 blocks and a Big Ten-leading 11.3 rebounds.
“We were hoping to eventually see what she’s doing, but
not this quick,” Gophers coach Pam Borton said. “A lot of
the credit goes to Amanda. She came in and dropped 25
pounds, is in great shape and is coachable. She’s shown
up every night and put up numbers. That’s unusual for
any freshman.”
Nine freshmen rank among the top 30 scorers in the
league, whose teams have combined for 197 70-point outings compared with 131 last season. There have been 82
80-point games compared with 56 in 2012-13.
Indiana (18-11) plays Ohio State (15-17) in the tournament opener. Other games Thursday match Iowa (23-7)
against Illinois (9-20), Michigan (17-12) against Northwestern (15-14) and Minnesota (19-11) against Wisconsin (10-18).

Pittsburgh Steelers strong safety Troy Polamalu (43) and Pittsburgh Steelers free safety Ryan Clark (25) celebrates after
Polamalu scored in the 4th quarter of their game on Sunday, Sept. 25, 2011, in Indianapolis, Ind. The Steelers won 23-20.

Steelers sign Polamalu, Miller to extensions
PITTSBURGH (AP) — Troy
Polamalu and Heath Miller are doing
their part to help the Pittsburgh Steelers get under the 2014 salary cap.
The eight-time Pro Bowl safety
and the venerable tight end both
signed new three-year contracts
with the team on Wednesday designed to give the Steelers some
cap relief before the new league
year begins next week.
Terms of the deals were not
disclosed, but both contracts are
designed to give Pittsburgh some
flexibility heading into free agency
as the Steelers look for answers following consecutive 8-8 seasons.
The Steelers also cut linebacker
Larry Foote, cornerback Curtis
Brown and offensive tackle Levi
Brown on Wednesday.
Polamalu was scheduled to make
$8.25 million in 2014 in the final
season of a four-year contract he
signed in 2011. The 32-year-old is
coming off a bounce back year in
which he played in all 16 games
after being limited by injuries in
2012.
The deal came hours after the
Steelers re-signed safety Will Allen, meaning it’s unlikely Pittsburgh
will make any attempt to bring back
Ryan Clark, who will become a free
agent next week.
Polamalu missed nine games in

2012 with a strained calf and revamped his offseason conditioning
campaign last spring. It paid off
handsomely. Polamalu picked off
two passes and recorded 69 tackles
while playing in every game for just
the third time in the last eight years.
The 31-year-old Miller caught 58
passes for 593 yards and a touchdown in 2013 after sustaining a major right knee injury at the end of the
2012 season. He caught a seasonhigh eight passes in a 37-27 win over
Detroit on Nov. 17 that keyed a late
6-2 flourish as Pittsburgh avoided its
first losing season in a decade.
The moves continued a busy
week for the typically quiet Steelers. Pittsburgh tagged linebacker
Jason Worilds as a transition player
on Monday, with Worilds quickly
agreeing to the one-year deal, opening the door for both sides to work
on a long-term contract.
“Feels good to be back with the
ones I bled with,” Worilds tweeted
on Wednesday.
The decision to keep Worilds —
who posted a career-high eight sacks
in 2013 — likely means the Steelers will part with LaMarr Woodley,
whose cap number in 2014 is $14.1
million. Woodley has struggled to
stay healthy in recent years and
hasn’t played a full 16-game season
since 2010.

The emergence of Worilds helped
make Woodley potentially expendable. The same goes for Foote, who
tore the triceps in the season opener last fall against Tennessee then
watched rookie Vince Williams
become a steady contributor at inside linebacker next to Lawrence
Timmons. Polamalu’s ability to fill
Foote’s role at linebacker in dime
coverage packages helped expedite
Foote’s departure.
Injuries also plagued Curtis
Brown during his three mostly
quiet years with the Steelers. The
former third-round pick showed
flashes of being a special teams star
but could not work his way onto the
field with any regularity as a defensive back.
At least Brown had a chance to
make a case for himself — for better or worse — on the field. The
same can’t be said of Levi Brown.
The Steelers made the unorthodox move of acquiring Brown from
Arizona in October to stabilize
an injury ravaged offensive line. It
never happened. Brown tore his
triceps during warm-ups before
his first game with Pittsburgh and
was placed on injured reserve. The
Steelers saved $6 million against
the salary cap by paring him off the
books before the new league year
begins next Tuesday.

Wiggins brothers ready
Kings pick up Marian Gaborik
to put stamp on March

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) —
The Los Angeles Kings, hoping to
mirror the success they had from
their last big trade-deadline deal
with Columbus, bolstered their
offense by acquiring former scoring whiz Marian Gaborik from
the Blue Jackets on Wednesday.
The Blue Jackets got right wing
Matt Frattin and two conditional
picks, most likely a second-round
pick and also a third-rounder if
the Kings win their first-round
playoff series or re-sign Gaborik.
Gaborik, who turned 32 on Feb.
24, will be a free agent after the
season. He was making $7.5 million a year for the Blue Jackets,
who are expected to pick up a portion of his $1.9 million in remaining salary.
He has missed games with a
sprained knee and a broken collarbone this season, limiting him to
just 22 games, but is healthy for
the stretch run.
Gaborik has scored at least 40
goals in a season three times and
30 or more seven times.
Frattin, 26, has two goals and
four assists in 40 games. He has
been a healthy scratch by the
Kings in eight of the last 10 games.
His last appearance was on Feb. 6
— against the Blue Jackets.
Both clubs are currently in the
playoff picture.
The Kings, as was the case when
they acquired Jeff Carter from Columbus two years ago, were seeking more goals. The Blue Jackets,
down two of their top defensemen,
needed cap space to possibly make
more deals, and to unload a player
who could leave without any return
compensation after the season.
On Feb. 23, 2012, the Kings
picked up Carter for defenseman
Jack Johnson and a first-round
pick in the 2013 draft. With
Carter adding a jolt of offense,
the Kings went on to barely make
the postseason but then swept
through the playoffs to win their
first Stanley Cup.
Gaborik was acquired by the
Blue Jackets from the New York
Rangers in a draft-deadline deal a
year ago. He was the highest-paid

Columbus Blue Jackets right wing Marian Gaborik (10) warms up before the
game against the Washington Capitals at the Verizon Center in Washington,
Tuesday, Nov, 12, 2013.

Blue Jacket and the sides had not
really discussed a new contract,
with Gaborik hurt most of the season and the Blue Jackets holding
out that he might come on strong
late in the year.
Gaborik, who has missed 39
games this season, had five goals
and six assists in the first 17
games before missing the next 17
with a sprained left knee. Then,
four shifts into his return, he was
hit simultaneously by two Philadelphia players and his collarbone

was broken. That resulted in him
missing his third Olympics with
his native Slovakia as he sat out
the next 22 Columbus games.
He returned to the club on Feb.
27, immediately after the Olympic
hiatus. In 22 games this season
for the Blue Jackets, Gaborik has
six goals and eight assists.
In his younger days, Gaborik was
considered an elite sniper. In 791 career games with Minnesota, the New
York Rangers and the Blue Jackets,
he has 342 goals and 346 assists.

WICHITA, Kan. (AP) —
Nick Wiggins stood on the
court at Koch Arena with
one arm around mom, the
other around dad, his second-ranked Shockers having
just finished a 31-0 regular
season.
For once, it was the older
brother of Kansas star Andrew Wiggins getting all the
attention.
Now, with the NCAA
tournament right around
the corner, the two brothers
— and their teams — are
ready to become the story of
March.
Wichita State heads into
the Missouri Valley Conference tournament this week
riding the best start since
UNLV in 1991, while the
fifth-ranked Jayhawks have
wrapped up the outright Big
12 title — the 10th straight
championship for the storied program.
If things transpire as most
bracketologists
believe,
Wichita State will be a No.
1 seed in the NCAA tournament and Kansas a No. 2
seed, quite possibly in the
same region.
And if everything went
according to script, they
would meet for a spot in the
Final Four.
“Believe me, they’d want
to face each other,” said their
father, former NBA firstround draft pick Mitchell
Wiggins, “but I think they’d
rather play each other in the
final. And Nick would probably be Andrew’s matchup,
so I don’t know who would
come out on top.”
“Don’t ask me,” chirped
their mother, Marita PayneWiggins, wearing a broad
smile.
The brothers are about as
close as could be, constantly
texting each other about everything from video games
to school to social life. Nick
and several of his Wichita
State teammates made the
2-hour trip north earlier this
season to watch Andrew

lead the Jayhawks against
Baylor, and more than once,
Andrew has made the trip
back south to hang out with
his biggest fan.
It’s gotten harder as the
spotlight has intensified.
He Shockers are the biggest thing going in Wichita
these days, which means
Nick and his teammates are
besieged by well-wishers
hoping for a photo and a
handshake. Andrew is a
sure-fire lottery pick who
hasn’t been able to step outside his dorm room since
arriving at Kansas without
autograph hounds tracking
him down.
They have relied on each
other, along with their parents, to stay grounded during this memorable season.
Not even the pressure of the
NCAA tournament can tear
apart those family bonds.
“We were always together,” Andrew Wiggins told
The Associated Press earlier
this season. “We’d always
watch TV together. We were
always together at dinner
times. That’s what made us
so close.”
In fact, one of the reasons
Andrew chose Kansas over
just about every other major
program in the country was
that Nick was just down the
road at Wichita State.
“I feel like that was the
best decision for him,” Nick
said.
It turned out to be good
for their parents. Mitchell
and Marita were able to
watch Nick and the Shockers dispatch Missouri State
on Saturday to finish off a
perfect regular season, a
victory capped by a senior
day ceremony in which Nick
received a framed version of
his No. 15 jersey.
The Shockers’ sixth man
even gave them a memorable highlight, throwing
down a dunk off an alley-oop
pass in transition that left
another sellout crowd roaring in approval.
