As reported earlier this week in The Daily Sentinel, the office of Auditor of State Keith Faber recently published a press release regarding the 2020 audit — both the press release and audit are available on the Auditor of State’s website. As previously reported in the Sentinel, the press release stated, in part: “In 2018, Sheriff Keith Wood made multiple checks out to ‘Cash’ totaling $8,620 from the Meigs County Major Crimes Task Force (MCTF) bank account. In 2019, Sheriff Keith Wood made one check out to ‘Cash’ for $650 from the MCTF bank account. No supporting documentation was maintained by the Sheriff for these transactions. The source of monies included in the MCTF were Law Enforcement Trust Fund receipts. In addition, Sheriff Keith Wood used a debit card from the Law Enforcement Trust Fund bank account to make $555 and $830 in purchases in 2020 and 2019, respectively, without maintaining documentation to support the items were for proper public purpose. “A Finding for Recovery was issued against Sheriff Keith Wood in favor of Meigs County’s Law Enforcement Trust Fund in the amount of $10,655. “Sheriff Keith Wood entered into a repayment agreement with the County on January 6, 2022 to make monthly installments of no less than $200 per month. In addition, the Sheriff transferred the balance in the MCTF account to the Law Enforcement Trust Fund and closed the MCTF bank account in March 2020.” In addressing the audit, Wood told the Sentinel he requested the MCTF account be reviewed before the audit was conducted. Wood said he “wanted to make sure everything was correct” and said the books were handed down from previous administrations. Wood called the findings “very unfortunate” but gave a statement to make sure citizens of Meigs County “understand.” Wood’s official statement provided to the Sentinel is as follows: “Administratively, the See CASE | 8 See AUDIT | 8 Photos by Brittany Hively | OVP In 2020, Bitanga’s Martial Arts in Middleport held its annual breakathon with Square One as the beneficiary.

Square One’s mission is to “focus on maximizing the positive impact in our community. Offering a safe place to house people in need and offering a one stop office to reach out to all the agencies committed to helping those begin a new life. We want to help stop the spread of drug abuse, homelessness and violence in the community.” According to the organization’s website, Square One came after the local domestic violence shelter closed in July 2019, leaving a group of women and men without needed services. A group of individuals then came together with a common goal, offer a safe place for those in need in the community.

The main dorms design allow for both privacy and community, when needed. “When we designing Square One, we knew that we wanted to have individual units for our clients to allow them to have the privacy that they need to decompress and to really just have privacy,” Durst said. “We’re adults and we need that time to be alone.” Durst said during her time working with clients she has heard stories of clients waking up with others staring at them, or phone lights keeping them awake. “We wanted them to have that privacy so that nobody had to stare at them while they were sleeping and if someone was on their phone, that the light didn’t bother them,” Durst said. “And like I said, they can go in there and they can cry if they need to without someone watching them.” The bunk/sleeping area had been designed out of steel, something that was beneficial after COVID-19. “With the pandemic shutdown, every shelter had to minimize the amount of clients that they were able to help because everybody had to social distance,” Durst said. “We will never have to do that. We will always be able to be at max capacity because our steel walls allow us to social distance already.” See SQUARE | 8 Prosecutor: Householder criminal case shouldn’t be dismissed By Mark Gillispie Associated Press CLEVELAND (AP) — Arguments that a racketeering conspiracy charge in a $60 million bribery scheme should be dismissed against former Ohio House Speaker Larry Householder are invalid because they apply the wrong legal standards and ignore the substance of the allegations against him, federal prosecutors argued in a motion filed Tuesday.

He included in the package, which had a Pittsburgh return address, instructions to his supposed contact for how to establish a covert relationship with him, prosecutors said. That package was obtained by the FBI in December 2020 through its legal attaché office in the unspecified foreign country. That set off a monthslong undercover operation in which an agent posing as a representative of a foreign country made contact with Toebbe, ultimately paying $100,000 in cryptocurrency in exchange for the information Toebbe was offering. The country to which Jonathan Toebbe was looking to sell the information has not been identified in court documents and was not disclosed in court during his wife’s plea hearing Friday. Jonathan Toebbe, who held a top-secret security clearance through the Defense Department, agreed as part of the plea deal to help federal officials with locating and retrieving all classified information in his possession, as well as the roughly $100,000 in cryptocurrency paid to him by the FBI. FBI agents who searched the couple’s home found a trash bag of shredded documents, thousands of dollars in cash, valid children’s passports and a “go-bag” containing a USB flash drive and latex gloves, according to court testimony last year. During a December hearing, Diana Toebbe’s lawyers denied prosecution assertions that cited 2019 messages exchanged by the couple in which she had contemplated fleeing the United States to avoid arrest.

There is strong scientific evidence that screening for colorectal cancer beginning at age 45 saves lives! Both men and women can get colorectal cancer, and the risk increases with age. If you are 45 or older, getting a colorectal screening test could save your life. Here’s how. The gold standard for colorectal cancer screening is a screening colonoscopy.

It’s important to note that the United States Preventive Services Task Force currently recommends that people at average risk starting screening at age 50, whereas the American Cancer Society now recommends starting at age 45. There’s nothing to stop insurers from covering the tests starting at age 45, and some are likely to do so, but at this time insurers are not required to (and some might cover up to 50% and some might not) cover the cost of colorectal cancer screening before age 50. Pricing: The Affordable Care Act requires health plans that started on or after September 23, 2010 to cover colorectal cancer screening tests, which includes a range of test options. In most cases there should be no outof-pocket costs for these tests, such as co-pays or deductibles.

Colonial tavern in US vax drive bottoms out as omicron wanes Virginia added to National Register By Jay Reeves and Mike Stobbe Associated Press By Rachael Smith The News & Advance NEW LONDON, Va. (AP) — The only remaining colonial structure left in New London recently celebrated a special milestone. Community members, Friends of New London and staff from Liberty University celebrated the unveiling of a new plaque Feb. 10 on Mead’s Tavern, which recently was added to the National Register of Historic Places. Donna Donald — director of Public History Initiatives in the History Department at Liberty University and also a member of the board for Friends of New London, a local nonprofit preservation group — said the project has been collaborative. “A lot of different people have contributed to research, to encouraging means of financial support, encouraging developing classes, all of the different facets that have gone into this and I do appreciate that,” she said.f The two-story tavern, built in 1763, provided meals and a night’s stay to travelers. The building later was turned into a school and doctor’s office before becoming a single-family dwelling during the 1820s. William Mead, the original owner of the tavern, never lived in the building but the earliest residents of the basement may have been his employees, Robert Hairston or Richard Turner, and their families. The National Register of Historic Places is a federally established listing of buildings, sites and structures which have been officially recognized as possessing historical and cultural value for the nation. Randy Lichtenberger, lead archaeologist on the tavern and founding member of Friends of New London, helped to lead tours through the building and said it actually looks a little bit worse now than it did in 2012 when the Friends of New London purchased the property. “This is obviously a structure that you have to see with your mind, in your heart, not with your eyes at the moment, but that’s a natural part of the resto- ration process,” he said. “Things have to look worse before they look better typically. We’re at that point right now. So please excuse our mess. Wonderful things do sometimes lie hidden under modern features, and Mead’s Tavern is one of them.” It was a real struggle for Friends of New London to put the money together to acquire the Campbell County property, he said, but by the time it came on the market their research indicated it was a diamond in the rough — the last surviving Colonial-era structure in New London as well as one of the earliest in the entire region. “Our board of directors and the many friends pooled our resources and were able to buy the tavern, we worked some late nights removing carpets to reveal the wooden floors, spending hours pulling tack strips and staples, cleaning and dusting to keep it in good shape,” he said. In 2015, Liberty University purchased the tavern, and since then students have participated in ongoing excavation and restoration projects in association with the Friends of New London and local archaeologists. The first restoration phase will include stabilization of the tavern’s basement which launched this winter. Lichtenberger said the addition of Mead’s Tavern to the National Register of Historic Places validates the group’s efforts to save a piece of early history for future generations. Sam Smith, chair of the history department at LU, always has been fascinated by the fact the tavern was built even before the establishment of the United States. “1763 is a unique year. It’s the end of the French and Indian War and people are on the move,” he said. “There’s the Proclamation of 1763 that’s supposed to keep American settlers from going west, but a lot of people ignored that. And a lot of people came down the old wagon road, which is now roughly Interstate 81. So this place represents movement and activity that was going on in the same year that the French and Indian War ended.” HAMILTON, Ala. — A handwritten log kept by nurses tells the story of the losing battle to get more people vaccinated against COVID-19 in this corner of Alabama: Just 14 people showed up at the Marion County Health Department for their initial shot during the first six weeks of the year. That was true even as hospitals in and around the county of roughly 30,000 people filled with virus patients and the death toll climbed. On many days, no one got a first shot at all, while a Mexican restaurant up the street, Los Amigos, was full of unmasked diners at lunchtime. The vaccination drive in the U.S. is grinding to a halt, and demand has all but collapsed in places like this deeply conservative manufacturing town where many weren’t interested in the shots to begin with. The average number of Americans getting their first shot is down to about 90,000 a day, the lowest point since the first few days of the U.S. vaccination campaign, in December 2020. And hopes of any substantial improvement in the immediate future have largely evaporated. About 76% of the U.S. population has received at least one shot. Less than 65% of all Americans are fully vaccinated. Vaccination incentive programs that gave away Mary Altaffer | AP file A man walks out of a vaccination bus at a mobile vaccine clinic in Midtown Manhattan in December. The vaccination drive against COVID-19 in the U.S. is grinding to a halt, and lagging demand is especially stark in conservative corners of the country where many people weren’t interested in the shots in the first place. cash, sports tickets, beer and other prizes have largely gone away. Government and employer vaccine mandates have faced court challenges and may have gone as far as they ever will. And with COVID-19 cases, hospitalizations and deaths subsiding across the U.S., people who are against getting vaccinated don’t see much reason to change their minds. “People are just over it. They’re tired of it,” said Judy Smith, administrator for a 12-county public health district in northwestern Alabama. The bottoming-out of demand for the first round of vaccinations is especially evident in conservative areas around the country. On most days in Idaho, the number of people statewide getting their first shot rarely surpasses 500. In Wyoming, a total of about 280 people statewide got their first shot in the past week, and the waiting area at the Cheyenne-Laramie County Health Department stood empty Tuesday morning. The head of the department fondly recalled just a few months ago, when the lobby was bustling on Friday afternoons after school with children getting their doses. But they aren’t showing up anymore either. “People heard more stories about, well, the omicron’s not that bad,” Executive Director Kathy Emmons said. “I think a lot of people just kind of rolled the dice and decided, ‘Well, if it’s not that bad, I’m just going to kind of wait it out and see what happens.’” Marion County, along the Mississippi line, is part of a band of Alabama counties where most people aren’t fully vaccinated more than a year after shots were rolled out. Just to the east, Winston County has the state’s lowest share of fully vaccinated residents, at 26%, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. About 42% are fully immunized in Marion County. The digital sign outside First National Bank flashes Bible verses along with the temperature, and many Marion County residents work in small plants that make mobile homes and components for prefab housing. Most area jobs are blue-collar, and TVs are typically turned to Fox News. A conservative, workingclass ethic runs deep. The area went heavily for President Donald Trump in the 2020 election. And yet resistance to the vaccine is so strong that two counties over, in Cullman, some booed Trump when he encouraged vaccinations during a rally that drew thousands last summer. COVID-19 has killed almost 18,000 people in Alabama, giving the state the nation’s fourthhighest rate of deaths relative to population. Marion County’s rate exceeds the state average at 1.78%, with more than 140 deaths, according to data from Johns Hopkins University. Health officials expected to have a hard time persuading Black people to get government-sponsored vaccines in Alabama, home of the infamous Tuskegee syphilis study and a place where distrust of Washington runs deep. They started work on public education campaigns weeks early in mostly Black areas, which now have some of the state’s highest vaccination rates, at 60% or more.

It’s harder to calculate what owners of the 30 teams would lose if games are lost, but a similar amount is likely. While players received about half of industry revenue that reached a high of $9.7 billion in 2019 (a percentage that includes spending on draft picks and international amateurs), they are paid during the regular season, and teams receive a substantial percentage of revenue from the postseason. For players, the cost is clear: Each earns 1/186th of his base salary each day. See LOCKOUT | 6 Cindric earns his own keep inside longtime Team Penske home By Jenna Fryer AP Auto Racing Writer DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. (AP) — Austin Cindric only knows one culture — the crisp, clean, “Penske Perfect” way of doing things — and it fits him rather well. He has grown up inside Team Penske, where his father was hired as president when Cindric was just a baby. Cindric was toddling along the Yard of Bricks two years later as his family celebrated Helio Castroneves’ first Indianapolis 500 victory. Cindric is no longer the little boy who nearly knocked over the Borg-Warner Trophy during Castroneves’ celebration back in 2001. He’s a 23-yearold professional race car driver earning his own keep at Team Penske. Cindric stamped his spot in Penske history Sunday by winning the Daytona 500 on Roger Penske’s 85th birthday. The team owner has known Cindric since he was child “playing with his toys in his bedroom” back in Pennsylvania. “I’ve seen him grow up as a young man. He’s been focused, he’s been a student of the game, is a smart young man,” Penske said. “I think he works with the team well. He’s in the shop all the time. And he’s a team player, and he understands his position. He’s a mature man at his age.” Inherited or learned, Cindric has developed from his front row seat inside the gold standard of race teams. His role models and mentors are motorsports icons and his own family is deeply entrenched in the sport. Tim Cindric was hired at the end of the 1999 season to run Team Penske, and Tim’s father, Carl, was a longtime Indianapolis engine builder. Cindric’s maternal grandfather was Jim Trueman, who died of cancer 10 days after Bobby Rahal drove Trueman’s car to victory in the 1986 Indianapolis 500. And as Cindric chased his own racing dreams, it was his mother, Megan, who handled his career. Tim Cindric was running Team Penske, so it was Megan taking her teenage son to tracks across the country. By the time he was 16, Cindric had earned a pair of starts in the Truck Series driving for Brad Keselowski. He ran a fulltime truck schedule in 2017 and made it to the Xfinity Series the next season. He won two races in 2019, both on road courses. Cindric was in his third full Xfinity season when the pandemic hit and Penske contemplated shuttering his Xfinity program. When the team was saved, Cindric emerged a different driver. He won six races in 2020 and beat Chase Briscoe to win the Xfinity championship. It was an odd transition for Cindric, who established himself while racing in front of empty grandstands and closed garages. “A lot of my success in the Xfinity Series, especially in 2020, came in an incubator. And when Colton Jeffries | OVP Sports South Gallia senior Brayden Hammond (20) takes the ball to the hoop during a basketball game against the Waterford Wildcats Tuesday evening in Mercerville, Ohio. Rebels fall to Waterford, 72-67 By Colton Jeffries cjeffries@aimmediamidwest.com MERCERVILLE, Ohio — It’s rare enough to see one record broken, let alone three in one night. South Gallia senior Brayden Hammond did just that Tuesday evening, becoming the all-time rebounds and points leader for Rebel boys basketball, along with breaking the singlegame scoring record during a 72-67 home loss to the Waterford Wildcats in a Tri-Valley Conference Hocking Division matchup. The Rebels (10-11, 5-7 TVC Hocking) had trouble finding the basket to start Tuesday’s ballgame, allowing the Wildcats to jump ahead 5-0. Second chance points also hurt the Red and Gold, with the Green and White getting offensive rebound after rebound. Down 8-2, the Rebel offense started to find their rhythm, going on a 10-0 scoring run to lead. However, the Wildcats scored a last-second 3-pointer to cut the home lead down to 12-11. Hammond got his 1,000th rebound midway through the first, making him the all-time rebound leader for South Gallia. The second quarter was very competitive, with one tie and 12 lead changes occuring through the second set of eight minutes. The whole quarter was like a game of Simon Says. When the Rebels scored a 3-pointer, the Wildcats (16-7, 8-4) scored one of their own in the next possession and vice versa. The difference maker in the first half was from the charity stripe, with the home team getting three free throws and the road team none to give the Rebels a 28-27 lead going into halftime. The second half started much the same way, with both teams trading leads. The Wildcats started to move away on the scoreboard, moving ahead 39-32 midway through the third. At the end of the third, the Green and White put their lead out to 10 points, going into the fourth quarter with a 52-42 lead. The Wildcats never cooled down behind the arch in the fourth quarter, getting five 3-pointers through the eight minutes to keep the Rebels away on the scoreboard. As the clock ticked down towards the end of the game and the Red and Gold’s defeat all but certain, one bright spot was Hammond hitting a 3-pointer with under a minute to go to become the Rebels’ all-time leading scorer, finishing his career with 1,203 points. “It felt great to get over that threshold,” Hammond said. “It would have been nice to get the win, but we came out as a team and we played hard. We might not have gotten that W but in our hearts we’re still winners.” Hammond said he didn’t know how close he was to the record until South Gallia head coach Travis Elliott told him at halftime. “He told me I had 23 points already and I needed 20 more,” he said. “Until then I had no idea I was that close. All told I ended up breaking three records tonight so this is a game to remember for me.” In shot totals, South Gallia led in field goals and free throws with tallies of 21-11 and 4-2, respectively. Waterford led in 3-pointers at 16-7.

(AP) — Marshall filed a lawsuit against Conference USA on Tuesday in a bid to expedite an early move to the Sun Belt. Among other things, the lawsuit seeks a declaratory judgment and injunctions against the league, which filed a request for arbitration earlier this month, The Herald-Dispatch reported. A Conference USA spokesman declined comment on the lawsuit. Last week the conference released a football schedule for the 2022 season that included 14 teams, saying it will “exhaust all necessary legal actions” to keep Southern Mississippi, Old Dominion and Marshall from leaving the league a year early. Southern Miss, ODU and Marshall accepted invitations to the Sun Belt during the fall and each announced earlier this month they planned to terminate memberships in C-USA on June 30 to join their new conference. C-USA has said the three schools are contractually obligated to stay put for another year. Six other C-USA schools have announced they are leaving for the American Athletic Conference, but not until 2023. C-USA has plans to add Liberty, New Mexico State, Jacksonville State and Sam Houston State to rebuild the conference, but those schools are not scheduled to join until 2023. �SPORTS 6 Thursday, February 24, 2022 AP sources: Zach Johnson hired as US Ryder Cup captain By Doug Ferguson AP Golf Writer Two-time major champion Zach Johnson is taking over as Ryder Cup captain, leading an American side trying to end 30 years without a victory on European soil. Three people with knowledge of the decision confirmed the move to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because the PGA of America has yet to announce Johnson’s selection. The PGA scheduled a news conference for Monday morning to announce the new captain. The decision is not a surprise. Johnson, 45, has been an assistant captain each of the last two matches, and the U.S. team has moved toward captains with previous involvement. The 2023 matches are scheduled for Marco Simone in Italy. The Americans are coming Lockout From page 5 Scherzer and Cole are on the union’s eight-man executive subcommittee, which supervises the negotiations. Among others in the union’s leadership group, the daily price comes to $172,043 for Francisco Lindor, $134,409 for Marcus Semien, $75,269 for Zack Britton, $32,258 for James Paxton and $20,161 for Jason Castro. Andrew Miller, the other member, is among the hundreds of players who remained unsigned heading into the transaction freeze that began with the lockout. Veterans are likely to have savings to rely on. Scherzer last season finished a $210 million, seven-year contract he signed with Washington. That deal included deferred money that called for him to receive $15 million each July 1 from 2022 to 2028, though the pandemicshortened 2020 season will reduce the amount slightly. Cole earned $25,895,061 in major league pay from 2013 to 2019 before signing a $324 million, nineyear contract with the Yankees that raised his earnings through last season to $71,228,394. Lindor has earned $41,548,655 and Semien $33,714,217. Stoppage costs would compound in future seasons due to the major league service time that wouldn’t be accrued. Once 15 days of the regular season are missed, the free-agent eligibility of some players would be delayed by one year unless management agrees to give credit in an eventual agreement, which it hasn’t done in the past. That would delay free-agent eligibility for Shohei Ohtani from 2023 to 2024, Pete Alonso from 2024 to 2025, Jake Cronenworth from 2025 to 2026 and Jonathan India from 2026 to 2027. Others in danger of delayed free agency after 15 missed days off the country’s biggest Ryder Cup rout, beating Europe 19-9 at Whistling Straits last September with Wisconsin native Steve Stricker as the captain. Stricker was part of the Ryder Cup committee — three PGA Tour players and three PGA of America executives — that picked the next captain. Europe has yet to announce its next captain, a process that has been slowed as some candidates contemplated joining a Saudifunded rival league that has yet to get off the ground. Tony Finau, when asked last week at Riviera if he could envision Johnson as Ryder Cup captain, gave his endorsement and described his as a “great leader.” “He’s a cool blend of the older generational player and a person with a new generational outlook on the game,” Finau said. — players currently with major league service ending in an even number of years with no additional days — include Tejay Antone, Jordan Hicks, Cristian Javier, Brad Keller, Isiah Kiner-Falefa, Chris Paddack, Brady Singer, Andrew Vaughn and Garrett Whitlock. In Lindor’s case, because of deferred compensation in his contract, he would lose money both this year and a decade from now. He would forfeit $145,161 each day from the $27 million he is owed this season and $26,882 each day from the $5 million due on July 1, 2032. Players also may find it more difficult to reach provisions in their contracts to guarantee future seasons triggered by statistics such as plate appearances, games and innings, but the sides have agreed to prorating those in past settlements. Clubs would lose broadcast revenue and ticket money, though the impact is somewhat uneven. Some teams generate less revenue from April games than they produce in the summer, and there likely are different contractual arrangements regarding the flow of broadcast fees, credits, refunds and delayed/ forfeited payments. In addition, a large percentage of broadcast revenue is for the postseason. MLB gave the union a slide two years ago that contracts called for $787 million in media money from the 2020 postseason: $370 million from Fox, $310 million from Turner, $27 million from ESPN, $30 million from MLB Network and $50 million from international and other. The prospect of an extended stoppage to some degree is likely to have depressed ticket sales among fans wary of purchasing tickets for games that may not be played. And there is no public knowledge of debt financing among the clubs and how much liabilities increased during a pandemic that caused a huge revenue loss. Ohio Valley Publishing Cavaliers NBA’s biggest surprise By Tom Withers AP Sports Writer CLEVELAND — There were skeptics, and they included pretty much anyone who watched the Cavaliers struggle the past three years, who wondered about the team’s “Let ‘Em Know” theme heading into the 2021-22 season. It hardly made sense. After all, the Cavs had plummeted from elite status and back to irrelevancy after LeBron James left for the second time as a free agent following the 2018 season. With just 60 total wins since then, expectations were low. Now, Cleveland’s back in contention. Thanks to a young nucleus led by All-Star guard Darius Garland and rookie sensation Evan Mobley, the acquisition of All-Star center Jarrett Allen and Kevin Love’s rebirth as a reserve, the Cavaliers are among the Eastern Conference’s elite teams. Even long-time nemesis Draymond Green is impressed. “The biggest surprise team to me is Cleveland, for sure,” the talkative Golden State forward said during All-Star weekend, when the entire league got a glimpse at the Cavs’ talented core. “I don’t think anyone expected them to be this good, and they’re really putting it together. “Obviously in finding a young star in Darius Garland, who is leading the charge. Evan Mobley. They have a great young group of guys. ... They’re going to be good for years to come.” Yes, these Cavs appear to be built to last. They are young, hungry and determined to cut their own path. And they’re certainly way ahead of schedule. Cleveland hit the AllStar break at 35-23 and fourth in the East. How- Cindric From page 5 we got fans back at the racetrack, all of a sudden everybody knew who I was, and that was really weird for me,” he said. The success didn’t get Cindric the promotion he wanted. Penske decided Cindric would run one more year in NASCAR’s second-tier series then drive the No. 21 for The Wood Brothers. “Probably one of the tougher meetings I had with him was when we decided not to put him into Cup,” Penske said. “He took it like a man. He said, ‘You make the call. I’m going to make it happen.’” It worked just fine for Cindric, who insists he felt no pressure to perform. “I’m not an externally motivated person and I’m not an externally intimidated person,” Cindric said. “My head is pretty much in the game 24/7. I don’t think about much, anything else, except for Rebels From page 5 Hammond led the Rebels in scoring with six 3-pointers, 13 field goals and four free throws for a total of 48 points. This also meant Hammond broke the single- Charles Krupa | AP Cleveland Cavaliers’ Darius Garland (10) celebrates with teammates Evan Mobley (4) and Jarrett Allen after winning the team shooting part during the skills challenge competition, part of NBA All-Star basketball game weekend Saturday in Cleveland. ever, the Cavs’ record doesn’t fully reflect what’s been a challenging return to respectability. Like every NBA team, they’ve dealt with their share of COVID-19 issues, injuries, scheduling quirks and the typical season grind. However, the Cavs have persevered despite both leading scorer Collin Sexton and veteran guard Ricky Rubio suffering season-ending knee injuries — losses that threatened to derail this young team. Instead, the adversity has only strengthened the Cavs. At the heart of their renaissance is a toughness and togetherness, values often preached and not always embraced. They have played connected — on offense, defense, and in the locker room. “I haven’t been around a group who doesn’t want to disappoint each other the way this group doesn’t want to disappoint each other,” coach J.B. Bickerstaff said following a comeback win last week. “I haven’t been around a group that one through as many guys we’ve had here this year, has celebrated one another the way that this group celebrates one another. “So it’s truly special. And we have to make sure that we keep fostering and helping it grow.” More than any player, Garland’s growth has driven the Cavs’ stunning rise. The baby-faced 22-yearold has developed into one of the league’s best point guards, a combination scorer/playmaker capable of dissecting a defense with his dribble or spreading the floor by knocking down a 3-pointer. One of just four players averaging at least 20 points and eight assists, Garland’s game took off this summer when he played for the USA Select Team and against the U.S. Olympic squad as it prepared for the delayed Tokyo Games. “When we scrimmaged against the main team, that’s where you saw a different Darius,” said Miami’s Erik Spoelstra, who coached Garland. “He was playing extremely well, and everybody in the gym noticed it, to the point when they had injuries they selected him to continue on.” With Garland leading the way, the Cavs have finally crawled from the rubble left by James’ departure. Cleveland is again a basketball city, and not just because it has one of the best players on the planet. The Cavs are poised to make their first playoff appearance without James since 1998. “Our guys want to make our own legacy,” Garland said during AllStar Weekend. “I mean, just putting Cleveland on the map without LeBron would mean a lot to all of us. A rebuild, rebirth in Cleveland. It’s a new look, a new feel.” Growing pains are almost certainly ahead for a team lacking overall playoff experience. The schedule appears favorable with 14 more regular-season games at Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse, where the roar is back to LeBron-era levels. And with their interior size and relentless defense, the Cavs could be a tough draw for any team in the East. They’ve already pulled off one big surprise, and the Cavs believe they just might have a few more in them before it’s all over. “We have all the pieces and team chemistry that we need to go as far as we want,” Mobley said. of my racing career” and “my rock” and reflected on the interesting dynamic he has with his father.

Over time, Quigley said, he has developed comments about why Ukraine matters to the U.S.: its role as a strategic ally and a “sovereign democratic nation at Putin’s doorstep,” and how a new war could hit already disrupted technology supply chains that use exports from Russia and Ukraine.

Square are all bedbug proof and that the beds can lift up to give more of an open space, if needed. Brinker Machine in Letart, West Virginia built all of the lifting beds and steel walls. There is a small outside area for clients. “They’ll be able to have a privacy area, they can come out and enjoy the weather. Smoke if they need to, get some fresh air,” Durst said. “We’re also going to put a raised vegetable garden back here to grow vegetables.” The shelter also houses two family rooms, that will have three beds — mom and two kids. Durst said there is an on-demand hot water tank. There are two sets of washers and dryers. The ladies room has two showers and two stalls. There is also a handicap accessible bathroom. There is also a male bathroom. “If we happen to have a male survivor, they’ll have a bathroom of their own,” Durst said. “Our plan right now is to work with Code 10 to put them in a hotel for a few days, so that we can look at the situation and figure out what’s going on and find them a different shelter.” Durst said they will be working with other nonprofits to help with various needs, including male survivors and the plan is to one day have not only a men’s shelter, but also a family shelter. The shelter has an open area office for all employees to work together and Audit “My office is audited annually, From page 1 and the audits are audit revealed a failure welcome.

No identification of any criminal wrongdoing has been alleged or offered as a result of this audit. My office is audited annually, and the audits are welcome. Plans are in place moving forward to ensure this does not happen again.” Wood said the MCTF bank account was used to aid and provide financial support to the task force. That particular account was also used for projects for prevention. Wood said the primary use of the account for the last few years was for drug prevention projects — Keith Wood, Meigs County Sheriff with children, including the annual “hooked on fishing, not on drugs” for schools and the prevention day programs at the Meigs County Fair. “I take my job seriously at the office as the elected sheriff and I have been since I’ve been in there,” Wood said. © 2022 Ohio Valley Publishing, all rights reserved.

There is a small locker area for clients to put foods, snacks or soda that they purchase on their own.
