Farmers Bank Junior Board of Directors By Sarah Hawley shawley@aimmediamidwest.com POMEROY — In its 9th year, the Farmers Bank Junior Board of Directors program allows a group of juniors from four area high schools to gain ﬁrsthand experience in the workings of the business world. Juniors from Eastern, Meigs, Southern and Wahama are selected to participate in the program. The mission of the Farmers Bank’s Junior Board of Directors is to, develop communication with the leaders of the future; foster a stronger understanding of the ﬁnance, banking and economic issues affecting our community, as well as our nation; provide an opportunity for students to gain exposure to a corporate board environ- A NEWS Obituaries: 2A Editorial: 4A Television: 5A Along the River: 6A Weather: 8A B SPORTS Sports: 1B-6B Classifieds: 6B Comics: 7B ment; and encourage students to develop outreach programs that can better unite the company and its community. Throughout the course of the school year, students meet monthly with bank employees who serve as their consultants, covering the process of starting the business. Meigs County Economic Development Director Perry Varnadoe provides valuable experience and advice to the students as part of the program, as well. In previous years, the junior board has acted as the Board of Directors of their own shoe company. This year, the group had the option to serve as a board of directors for a bank, selecting between a large national bank or a community bank. The students decided to be the board of directors of a See FUNDING | 5A Pothole season in full swing Members of the Farmers Bank Junior Board of Directors are pictured with Senator Frank Hoagland. community bank, learning how community banks serve not only their customers, but the community as a whole. As part of the program, the students take a trip each year to Columbus where they visit the capital and other locations. As the project for this year dealt with banking, the group made a stop at the Ohio Bankers League. At the Ohio Bankers League, Junior Board members met with the president of the league and other staff, learning about legislation which impacts banks and the business community as a whole. The students also had the opportunity to visit with Senator Frank Hogland and State Representative Jay Edwards. Edwards and Hoagland talked to the group about the impor- tance of being part of the community where they are from and returning to the area after receiving their degrees or certiﬁcations to help enrich the community. The trip, and the program as a whole, helps the students to make valuable connections which can assist them as they are applying to colleges, applying for See BANKING | 8A Honoring Purple Heart recipients Locals recognized for their service JOIN THE CONVERSATION What’s your take on today’s news?

POMEROY — Grant funding has been awarded which will allow for Camp Kiashuta to return to local ownership and control. Camp Kiashuta, located near Chester, has served for decades as a Boy Scout camp, currently under the ownership of the Buckskin Council based in Charleston. A few months ago as word spread that the camp was going to be placed for sale a group of former scouts and scout leaders formed Friends of Camp Kiashuta with a goal of keeping the property for local use. The grant awarded this week from the Clean Ohio Green Space Conservation Fund will cover the more than $160,000 purchase price for the property. Funding should be received and paperwork completed in approximately 60 to 90 days, meaning the camp could be returned to Meigs County ownership by The purple heart recipients honored were as follows: Miles Epling, Darrell Lee Rhodes, Lyman Greenlee, By Erin Perkins eperkins@aimmediamidwest.com Leo Buck, Sammie Doolittle for Sam Doolittle, Valerie Hodges and Betty (Jerry) White for Haskle White, Susie OHIO VALLEY — The Purple Krebs for Johnny Krebs Sr., June Heart is deﬁned as a U.S. military (Caudill) Nibert for Harry Caudill. decoration for those wounded or The individuals were 0f the U.S. killed in action.

By Morgan McKinniss mmckinniss@aimmediamidwest. com OHIO VALLEY — Every year as winter transitions into spring, drivers begin to notice more and more potholes in the roadway. What has been called pothole season is in full swing, although many are not familiar with how potholes are formed. While potholes are a naturally occurring part of paved roadways, the Gallia County works year round to ﬁll them with cold mix and keep the roadways safe and in good repair. In 2017 the highway department spent $58,574.95 just on ﬁlling potholes. So far in 2018 they have used $19,425.10 on labor, equipment, and materials ﬁlling in potholes. According to Gallia County Engineer Brett Boothe, potholes are the result of nature on road surfaces and not a result of aged asphalt or wearing out roadways. “Fatigue cracking is typically where you see potholes, that’s typically in the driveway and in the wheel paths themselves as that is where See POTHOLE | 8A �OBITUARIES/LOCAL 2A Sunday, March 18, 2018 Sunday Times-Sentinel OBITUARIES RICHARD EBLIN JUDITH ANN BENTZ-SMITH POMEROY — Judith Ann BentzSmith, age 74, passed away quietly March 14, 2018, at her home on Flatwoods Road, in Pomeroy, Ohio.

Under this proposal, there is to be an immediate $17 billion reduction to the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), formerly known as food stamps, followed by a $213.5 billion reduction over the next 10 years. There are over 40 million people who receive SNAP. Not only does SNAP help families put food on the table, it also provides Caroline economic beneﬁts. According to the USDA, every $5 in new SNAP Meehan Contributing beneﬁts generates $9 in economic columnist activity. SNAP beneﬁts are being spent at farmers’ markets, largechain supermarkets, local groceries and corner stores all throughout America. Many farmers’ markets allow recipients to “double their dollar” when using SNAP beneﬁts, enabling participants to eat fresh fruits and vegetables and support local farms in their communities. The proposal to replace SNAP with “America’s harvest box,” a box of “shelf-stable” canned and boxed goods, for those households receiving over $90 per month, is perplexing and concerning to say the least. Taking away one’s power to choose one product over another, for instance, disrupts a person’s powerful connection with food, it disrupts a family’s ability to make their favorite dish for Sunday night dinner or to try a new vegetable. Sending a box of canned foods does not allow a person the choice between fresh, frozen or canned produce. Additionally, canned foods are often high in sodium, which may also pose difﬁculty for people who need to follow a low-sodium diet. SNAP is not perfect, but combined with the nutritional education on how to eat healthy on a budget, I believe SNAP can be used effectively to help sustain nutritional status and improve overall health. Nutrition education is essential in improving the health of low-income communities, which is where SNAP education — or “SNAP-ed,” the nutrition education component of SNAP — comes into play. SNAP-ed can help SNAP recipients make healthier decisions with these funds, make the most of each dollar and understand importance of eating a well-balanced diet. In Maryland, for example, the Text2BeHealthy program, a healthy text messaging service to promote healthy eating behaviors, developed under SNAP-ed, reaches over 2,000 parents annually. According to their ﬁscal year 2016 report, over 20,000 low-income youth participants in Maryland received nutrition education through Maryland’s SNAP-ed. Another key nutrition education program under the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), the Child Nutrition Program, is proposed to receive a $1.1 billion reduction in funds. Having previously worked as a nutrition educator on the USDA Summer Food Service Program in Philadelphia, which helps low-income children receive meals during the summer months, I know ﬁrsthand the positive impact that these programs can have on hundreds of families. Research shows that children affected by food insecurity may have more problems with academics, emotional and behavioral health. Given that research also shows food and beverage ads to be more prevalent in lowerincome neighborhoods, education on healthy behaviors that start during childhood is essential. Without these programs to educate on the importance of choosing nutrient-dense foods and healthy eating on a budget, fruits, vegetables and lean proteins are typically not at the top of the grocery list. People often turn to the processed snacks high in sodium and added sugar. This in turn is contributing to the alarming prevalence of obesity, diabetes and heart disease in communities. I believe reductions in the SNAP budget and elimination of SNAP-ed will worsen this epidemic and increase food insecurity, hunger and poverty. In the health care setting, we will see more patients come into clinics and hospital emergency rooms with worsening, uncontrolled diet-related diseases. Research shows the correlation between food insecurity and increased health care costs. SNAP beneﬁts and nutrition education programs, including but not limited to SNAP-ed and the Child Nutrition Program, are vital to help improve the health of low-income neighborhoods throughout America. We need these programs to continue receiving adequate funding; the public health of lower-income communities is at stake. Caroline Meehan is a registered dietitian nutritionist in Baltimore.

I’m not talking about words you swipe out of the medical, scientiﬁc or anachronism bin to win at “Scrabble” or ones you employ only to beat your rivals when playing “Words With Friends” on the computer. I’m talking about discovering a word that opened a door, showed you a new color or helped you understand that an emotion, experience or idea you thought was yours alone is, instead, shared by so many other people that it has its very own name.

I admitted that what I really She taught me about YOUR VIEW Chief hopes to answer questions Dear Editor, After reading the coverage of the recent meeting of Middleport council, I feel I must clear up a few points concerning business in regard to the Middleport Fire Department. Doug Dixon stated, “I am not in favor of actually reimbursing a year back for something we want to pass at this time.” What he didn’t say was that I personally went to council at their regular meeting on August 8, 2016 and requested council put something in place to help offset costs associated with being a volunteer ﬁreﬁghter incurred by individual members. I explained how this could help with ﬁreﬁghter recruitment and retention, a problem that all volunteer ﬁre departments are facing. I also asked that council try to have this in place by the beginning of 2017. Even though Dixon was a member of council at the time, he had no recollection of this. Contributing to the delay in presenting the ordinance was the inability of Salisbury Township trustees to accept a contract with the village for ﬁre protection, which would provide the funding for this reimbursement. To date, the village is still waiting on contract money for all of 2017. The article also wanted to do was dance around the room in tap shoes. “There’s a word for that feeling,” Ms. Fitz explained. “It’s a German term: ‘schadenfreude.’ When you feel glee at somebody else’s humiliation, unhappiness or failure, schadenfreude is what you’re feeling. It’s perfectly natural.” Why, this was fabulous! I wasn’t an inhuman and depraved barbarian. Other people felt this way, too. So what if they were European? I wasn’t the only person in the world to indulge in this nasty, yet delicious, sense of exultation. You also have to use words correctly once you grab hold of them. Words are weapons as well as tools, and if you misuse them, you can hurt somebody or damage yourself. See WORDS | 5A TODAY IN HISTORY states that Dixon asked Solicitor Rick Hedges to review chapter 146 in the Ohio Revised Code as he said the chapter explains a volunteer ﬁreﬁghter cannot be paid because it, “is a non-paid and a non-partial paid,” position. What wasn’t reported is that Solicitor Hedges informed Dixon and members of council that the ordinance he was citing referred to the Volunteer Fireﬁghters’ Dependents Fund, to which Dixon replied that he printed the wrong one out. As stated by Mayor Iannarelli, this reimbursement is not considered pay. Further examination of the CORRECT ordinance shows that the ORC deﬁnition of “Volunteer Fireﬁghter” in the State of Ohio states: “A duly appointed member of a ﬁre department on either a non-pay or part-pay basis who is ineligible to be a member of the Ohio police and ﬁre pension fund, or whose employment as a ﬁreﬁghter does not in itself qualify any such person for membership in the public employees retirement system, or who has waived membership in the public employees retirement system.” I hope that this answers some of the questions that our village citizens, who have always been very supportive of our department, would surely have after reading this article. Sincerely, Jeff Darst Middleport Fire Chief Today is Sunday, March 18, the 77th day of 2018. There are 288 days left in the year. Today’s Highlight in History: On March 18, 1963, the U.S. Supreme Court, in Gideon v.

When they phase together like that, the low ends up intensifying rapidly. Once it hit the Florida panhandle it turned north along the east coast breaking low pressure records and dropping the most snow in a 24 hour period on record for numerous towns and regions from Florida into Canada. The trajectory and phasing of the jet streams helped make it a unique system. “It it was generally in a 25-hour period was when the bulk of it fell,” said Kisner. Across West Virginia, particularly in the mountainous regions, snowfall reached as high as one to three feet, with some sites reaching well above three feet of accumulation.

The days leading up to that cold and snowy Saturday were similar to what has been experienced lately in the area; snow ﬂurries, highs ranging in the ﬁfties, and lows in the twenties. Greg Frazier was working the midnight shift with the Gallipolis Department at the time and recalled how cold it really was. “I was working in law enforcement at the time. It was very cold and very hard to get around. There weren’t any horrible car wrecks because you couldn’t go fast enough to crash,” said Frazier. “I’m sure there was a house ﬁre or something very bad like that because it was very difﬁcult to get to. I was working midnight’s back then and we were still out doing foot patrols and checking doors like they do now. The wind was nonstop for a few days, there was lots of drifts in the county, massive snow drifts.” At the time Kevin Kelly worked for the University of Rio Grande with the Signal, the student newspaper of the time. “I was informed by Hobart Wilson Jr. that the Sunday TimesSentinel did get out, but not much outside of Gallipolis because the roads were either still untreated or dangerous,” said Kelly. “Once the storm was ﬁnished early Saturday, the weather was calm and overcast, and continued to moderate through Sunday. By the time I took The Signals, Rio Grande’s student newspaper, into the Gallipolis Tribune for printing on Monday, the main roads had cleared and the whole thing seemed like a bad memory, to tell the truth.” Despite the crippling snow, life still went on during the blizzard and its’ aftermath, albeit much slower. Two stacks were being erected at Gavin at the time, 830-foot tall concrete pillars that contained six scrubbing units to clean the exhaust from coal burning. Talks were being held of constructing a new airport for the region either in Rodney or in Bidwell to meet the future aviation needs of the area. “I was a young 4H member and knew that I would be taking a feeder calf that had yet to be born on my grandparents farm,” said Brittany Beman. “When he decided to come during the snow storm, I knew Blizzard would be the perfect name for my baby Hereford calf. I remember there being a lot of snow and that was my ﬁrst experience with a blizzard, also my last, for now.” Many have called this storm the storm of the century. The factors that created it all had to come together simultaneously in order to earn that name. After the snow and ice melted, life went back to normal.

Once you get the fatigue cracking, you get potholes that form,” said Boothe. Boothe explained that potholes result in cracked or broken road surface that have been driven over substantially. The tires of vehicles works like a suction cup and dislodges chunks of asphalt in the roadway. The common cause of cracking in roadways in cause by vehicles driving and wearing on the road surface, but is increased rapidly from the freezing and thawing during the winter months, making late winter and early spring notorious for potholes. The freezing and thawing damages the road surface when moisture expands during freezing, creating pressure and stressing the fracture. Unfortunately, when potholes become most common asphalt plants are not open and running. Due to the nature of asphalt, which must remain warm until it is placed in the Photos by Morgan McKinniss|OVP The pugmill at the county highway department is used to create cold mix asphalt to make repairs to potholes and cracks in the roadways across Gallia County. It uses a conveyor belt to meter the correct amount of stone into the mixer. Pictured also is County Engineer Brett Boothe. The large yellow implement has rotors and blades inside to completely mix the liquid asphalt emulsion with the stone in order to make cold mix, which can be stored for months at a time until it is needed.

The Wahama softball team rallied back from deﬁcits of 3-0 and 5-4 by scoring the ﬁnal ﬁve runs on Thursday night en route to a 9-5 victory over visiting Williamstown in a non-conference matchup in Mason County. The Lady Falcons (1-0) found themselves in a three-run hole after a half-inning of play, but the hosts rallied with a run in the third and three more scores in the fourth to secure their ﬁrst lead of the night at 4-3 after four complete. The Lady Yellow Jackets (0-1) countered with a two-run outburst in the top half of the ﬁfth to reestablish a 5-4 edge, but the Red and White countered with another threerun explosion in their next at-bat — giving Wahama a permanent lead of 7-5 through ﬁve innings. The Lady Falcons tacked on two more insurance runs in the home half of the sixth for a 9-5 lead, then Williamstown went down in order in the seventh — allowing the hosts to pick up the season-opening triumph. Alexis Schreckengost gave the guests an early lead thanks to a three-run homer in the top half of the ﬁrst, but the Lady Falcons cut into that deﬁcit in the bottom of the second after Victoria VanMatre singled home Emma Gibbs for a 3-1 contest. Emily VanMatre and Alexis Mick led off the fourth with consecutive singles, then VanMatre came around to score on a Gibbs single that put runners at the corners with one away. Mick later scored on a wild pitch to knot things up at three, then Hannah Rose tripled home Gibbs while giving Wahama a 4-3 lead through four complete. Schreckengost led off the ﬁfth with a triple and later scored on a Kayla Scott double that tied things at four. Faith Hoosier also singled and later scored on an error that gave Williamstown a 5-4 cushion midway through the ﬁfth.

By Bryan Walters bwalters@aimmediamidwest.com GALLIPOLIS, Ohio — There were some debates about the top-12 in each division, but there was never a doubt about who the top players in the Ohio Valley Publishing area were. Gallia Academy sophomore Zach Loveday and Meigs junior Kassidy Betzing were unanimous choices for player of the year honors as part of the 2018 OVP Super 12 basketball teams — as chosen by the sports staff from the daily publications of the Gallipolis Daily Tribune, Point Pleasant Register and The Daily Sentinel. Both Loveday — a 7-foot-1 center — and Betzing — a 5-foot-7 guard — were repeat selections to the OVP Super 12 starting ﬁve and were also two of the six players that ended up on the lists from a year ago. Loveday — who recorded what is believed to be the ﬁrst triple-double in GAHS history at Chesapeake this past winter — was the main weapon for a Blue Devils’ team that went 20-4 while earning its ﬁrst sectional title in a decade. Loveday averaged 17.3 points, 11.5 rebounds and 4.3 blocks while guiding Gallia Academy to a second place ﬁnish in Ohio Valley Conference play. Loveday, however, wasn’t the only member of GAHS to make the starting ﬁve as junior Cory Call — a 6-foot-1 guard — joined Loveday in the ﬁrst ﬁve selections. Gallia Academy’s Gary Harrison was also named the Coach of the Year for the OVP Super 12 boys squad. Joining Loveday and Call on the boys starting unit was Meigs sophomore Weston Baer, Southern junior Weston Thorla and South Gallia junior Braxton Hardy. Baer — a 6-foot-2 guard — led the Marauders (10-14) in scoring with 20.0 points per game, while Thorla — a 6-foot-3 guard — paced the Tornadoes with 13.8 points and 3.1 rebounds per outing. Hardy — a 6-foot-2 guard that joined the team midway through the season — led the Rebels (7-17) with 17.9 points, 5.2 rebounds and 3.3 assists per contest. Call also averaged 8.7 points, 3.5 rebounds and 2.1 assists for the Blue and White. Of the remaining seven players on the boys team, only Meigs junior Zach Bartrum was a repeat selection. Bartrum — a 6-foot guard — averaged 14.0 points and six boards per night. Eastern junior Isaiah Fish — a 6-foot junior — led the Eagles (10-13) in scoring with 13.7 points per night, while Wahama senior Noah Litchﬁeld — a 5-foot-10 guard — paced the White Falcons (5-18) with 16.5 points and 6.6 rebounds per outing. River Valley senior Jarret McCarley — a 6-foot-1 guard — led the Raiders (5-18) with 15.8 points, 6.7 rebounds and 4.3 assists per night, while SHS senior Dylan Smith — a 6-foot guard — also made the list with averages of 10.1 points, 3.8 rebounds and 3.1 assists each contest. Hannan senior Malachi Cade — a 5-foot-11 guard — was the lone 1,000-point scorer on the boys team and averaged 22.5 points for the Wildcats (7-12). Point Pleasant senior Trace Derenberger — a 6-foot-7 post player — was the ﬁnal selection after averaging 7.5 points and 8.0 rebounds per game for the Big Blacks (3-19). Ohio Valley Christian (1-19) was the only boys program in the OVP area to not be represented on the Super 12 squad.

Hiedeman rallies Marquette women past Dayton, 84-65 LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) — Natisha Hiedeman scored a career-high 32 points, including 18 in the ﬁrst quarter, and No. 8 seed Marquette rallied past ninth-seed Dayton for an 84-65 victory Friday in a women’s NCAA Tournament ﬁrstround game. Hiedeman’s ﬁve 3-pointers in the ﬁrst quarter were critical in rallying the Golden Eagles (249) from an 11-3 deﬁcit to a 22-15 lead that they maintained on the way to their ﬁrst NCAA win since 2011. The junior guard wasn’t done, adding a few more in the second half on the way to ﬁnishing 8 of 12 from behind the arc and 10 of 18 overall to surpass her career best by two points. Erika Davenport had 16 points and 13 rebounds for Marquette, which won for the ninth time in 10 games. The Golden Eagles will face top-seeded Louisville in Sunday’s second round. The Flyers (23-7) got within 69-58 early in the fourth quarter before jumpers by Davenport and Danielle King (11 points) stretched it back to a comfortable margin. Jenna Burdette’s 18 points led Dayton, which ﬁnished the season with three losses in four games. Big picture Dayton: The Flyers shot 70 percent in the ﬁrst quarter before going cold in the second and never getting back on track in shooting 39 percent. They couldn’t stop Hiedeman from getting free outside, costing them their lead and the outcome. The Flyers’ only consolation was outrebounding Marquette 42-36. Marquette: While three-point shooting is not one of the Golden Eagles’ strengths, it was hard to tell with Hiedeman setting the tone from the perimeter. Blockton added three as they ﬁnished 12 of 26 from long range and shot 44 percent overall. They also scored 22 points off 19 Dayton turnovers.

For the ﬁrst time in six tries during 62 years, the Thundering Herd won an NCAA Tournament game. Jon Elmore scored 27 points and Jarrod West hit a huge 3-pointer with three minutes left to help No. 13 seed Marshall topple fourth-seeded Wichita State 81-75 in the East Region. When the buzzer sounded, West raised his arms in the air and joyously ran practically the length of the court before joining his teammates in celebration. “Long time!” coach Dan D’Antoni said moments later. Was it ever. The Thundering Herd (25-10) made its ﬁrst NCAA tourney appearance in 1956 and made its most recent one in 1987, losing all ﬁve along the way. The 1987 loss was later vacated due to infractions. Its only postseason victories were in the NIT in 1967, when D’Antoni was on the team. “So we’ve got a little bit to do,” said D’Antoni, the older brother of Houston Rockets coach Mike D’Antoni. “I like these guys. I like the chance riding with them, fun to be on a trip with and they’re fun to watch to play and it’s real fun when we win. So we’re going to try to do that one more time. “I told them the beginning goal is to win the NCAA Tournament. Wherever we get in the car driving down the road to that championship, when it stops we’ll all get that we can’t give up.” Penava scored16 points, Burks 13 and Williams 10. Morris had 12 for the Shockers and Shamet 11. Elmore scored nine straight points midway through the second half, including two 3-pointers, to help Marshall keep pace after it allowed the Shockers to go on a 15-1 run spanning halftime.

Bengals retain free agents Eifert, Huber CINCINNATI (AP) — The Bengals agreed to a one-year deal with often-injured tight end Tyler Eifert and a threeyear deal with punter Kevin Huber on Thursday, holding onto two of their unrestricted free agents. Eifert has been hurt during much of his ﬁveyear career in Cincinnati. He was sidelined for half of the 2016 season because of an ankle injury and a problem with a disc in his back that required surgery. He aggravated his back early last season and went on an injury list after two games. “Couldn’t be happier to stay home in Cincinnati,” Eifert tweeted . “The last ﬁve years have been tough at times but every day I have been proud to be on the (at)Bengals.” The Bengals took Eifert with the 21st overall choice in the 2013 draft, hoping his pass receiving skills would upgrade their offense. He’s been one of Andy Dalton’s favorite targets, especially near the goal line, but has been severely limited by injuries in three of his ﬁve seasons. The Bengals ﬁnished last in the NFL in offense last season for the ﬁrst time in their history. Eifert caught 39 passes for 445 yards and two touchdowns in 15 games as a rookie. The following year, he hurt his shoulder during training camp and dislocated an elbow in the opener, ending his season. He returned and had his best season in 2015, caching 52 passes for 615 yards and 13 touchdowns, a franchise record for a tight end. He made the Pro Bowl that season and tore a ligament in his ankle during the game, requiring surgery. He returned and played in eight games in 2016, making 29 catches for 394 yards and ﬁve touchdowns, but an injured back disc ended the season and resulted in more surgery. Huber has spent all 10 seasons with Cincinnati. He had 32 punts inside the 20-yard line last season, fourth in the NFL. 2018 CutestContest Pet Think your Pet has what it takes to be crowned the cutest pet around?

Let’s just say that as streams go, it is a big one with a rich history, and – like southeastern Ohio in general – is largely neglected by people from other parts of Ohio. This time I want to talk about how you can explore the creek for yourself, and share what others have been doing to help make the creek a valuable asset to our region. Back when I was in high school, and for a few years thereafter, Bob Evans Farms operated a canoe livery on the creek near Rio Grande, and as I recall, the creek had sort of a bluish tinge and very few (if any) ﬁsh. The way the livery worked was that people would rent their canoes, paddles and life jackets from the livery, and then be taken upstream in an old school bus to enjoy a leisurely downstream ﬂoat back to the livery. For shorter trips you could just paddle up the creek and drift back down. Of course there were occasional logjams and gravel bars, just like life, and hot summer days never seemed quite so hot when you were on the creek. A lot has been going on with the creek since those days and, thanks to local residents and groups like the Raccoon Creek Partnership, new life has returned where it was snuffed out years ago by toxic acid-mine drainage. Last fall I spent an afternoon with Raccoon Creek volunteers shoveling out the mixing channel at the Carbondale Doser (One of 20 completed reclamation and treatment projects in the watershed!), which adds alkalinity to the stream to counteract the sulfuric acid discharging from abandoned coal mines. These (mostly) young people are essentially the front line of the effort to improve Raccoon Creek. Remember how I said there were few if any ﬁsh in the creek back in the 1980s? Today sampling by the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency, the Ohio Department of Natural Resources, and Ohio University shows the lower 40 miles of Raccoon Creek from Vinton ers to get in on the Park to the Ohio action.

The outﬁtters, have labeled Raccoon Creek as “Ohio’s Last Frontier,” offer canoeing and kayaking with ﬁve- and seven-mile routes where you can rent a vessel or bring your own and pay a modest shuttle fee. There is also primitive camping. For more information call 740-698-0000. Things are also looking up for the reopening of the canoe livery at Rio Grande. Local resident Patricia Filie is hoping to reopen the livery this May as Raccoon Creek Paddles and Oars, with roughly the same sort of services offered by Raccoon Creek Outﬁtters. That’s great news for people who have fond memories of paddling Raccoon Creek back in the day. She can be contacted at 740-645-9762. Remember that although you are allowed to freely navigate the creek in your canoe or kayak, in most locations the land alongside the creek (and the bottom of the creek as well) is privately owned – so make sure to respect the landowners by keeping off of their property. As always, respect wildlife, don’t litter and try to leave the outdoors cleaner than you found it. The only impact you should leave on the stream are the holes in the water made by your watercraft and paddle. On the other hand if you can’t wait until late April or May, the Ohio River and area lakes offer paddling and kayaking options. Never boat alone – it’s more fun with friends – and dress for the temperature and bring along a change of clothes; if the water looks too dangerous to swim, then it’s too dangerous to boat, and always wear a life jacket. Follow the laws appropriate for your state. My wife and I got each other kayaks for Christmas, so we are looking forward to trying those out when the weather gets warmer, and Raccoon Creek is one of our destinations. I’ve never actually used a kayak before, so I am sure that can be a topic for another day. Jim Freeman is the wildlife specialist for the Meigs Soil and Water Conservation District.

Harvey, a junior from Kenova, W.Va., allowed seven hits and just one run over eight innings, but Underwood countered with a one-hit shutout as the Grenadiers edged the RedStorm, 1-0, in the opening game of their River States Conference weekend series, Thursday afternoon, at Bob Evans Field. IU Southeast improved to 16-6 overall and 7-0 in the RSC with the victory. Rio Grande, which had a seven-game winning streak snapped, slipped to 11-14 overall and 6-1 in league play. Underwood allowed just four baserunners walking one, hitting two batters and allowing a leadoff hit to sophomore Dylan Shockley (Minford, OH) in the seventh inning. The walk and one of the two hit batsmen came with two outs in the third inning, but Underwood fanned senior Cody Blackburn to end the threat. Those were the only two Rio baserunners until Shockley led off the seventh with a clean single to left and sophomore Eli Daniels (Minford, OH) was hit by a pitch with two outs, but Underwood struck out senior Ty Warnimont (Rio Grande, OH) to escape the jam. Underwood, who ﬁnished with eight strikeouts, retired the side in order in seven of the nine innings. Harvey stranded run- ners in scoring position in both the ﬁrst and third innings before IU Southeast ﬁnally managed to scratch across a run in the ﬁfth inning. Jordan Branz led off with an inﬁeld single to shortstop and moved to second when Harvey slipped and fell trying to ﬁeld a bunt by Reyni Olivero along the ﬁrst base line. Two outs later, Richard Rodriguez lined a single to left to score Branz. Harvey did not walk a batter and ﬁnished with four strikeouts. Cody Maloon had two of the Grenadiers’ eight hits. The two teams will ﬁnish their series on Friday with a doubleheader beginning at noon. Game one will be a nineinning contest, while the nightcap will be a seveninning game.

Taylor, who was traded to the Cleveland Browns, said Thursday he has no interest in being a “bridge quarterback” who carries the team while it develops a younger quarterback. Taylor went 22-21 as a starter in three seasons with Buffalo. Taylor a starter, not stopgap QB CLEVELAND (AP) — Call him mobile, dynamic, proven or Buffalo’s former quarterback. Don’t dare label Tyrod Taylor anything else. In his ﬁrst ofﬁcial appearance since coming to Cleveland, Taylor, who ended the Bills’ long playoff drought last season, was asked if he could be a one-year stopgap or “bridge” quarterback while the Browns develop a young QB. No chance. “I don’t necessarily view myself as a bridge quarterback,” he said. “I’m a quarterback. As far as a bridge, hopefully I’m helping bridge this team to a Super Bowl. And that’s the plan.” Taylor was introduced along with Pro Bowl wide receiver Jarvis Landry and cornerback Damarious Randall as the Browns rolled out new faces on their roster following a whirlwind of trades and free-agent signings. It was another signiﬁcant day in a recent string of them lately for a team trying to crawl out from the rubble of a historic 0-16 season and projecting a positive image. As for the Browns’ plans with the 28-year-old Taylor, who went 22-21 as a starter in three seasons with Buffalo, coach Hue Jackson made it clear that even if Cleveland selects a quarterback with the No. 1 overall pick in this year’s draft that the depth chart is already set. “He is going to be the starting quarterback,” Jackson said. “There is no competition.” With their overhaul in full swing under new general manager John Dorsey, the Browns ofﬁcially signed seven free agents, including running back Carlos Hyde and Chris Hubbard and Donald Stephenson, a pair of tackles who can help the club’s transition after star left tackle Joe Thomas retired on Wednesday to end a Hall of Fame career. The Browns also ﬁnalized deals with cornerback T.J. Carrie, tight end Darren Fells, defensive back Terrance Mitchell and defensive end Chris Smith. Dorsey also made another trade — his ﬁfth in less than a week — by sending cornerback Jason McCourty and a 2018 seventh-round pick (No. 219 overall) to the New England Patriots for a 2018 sixth-round pick (No. 205 overall). McCourty started 14 games in one season with Cleveland. Dorsey called the recent wave of activity “just the ﬁrst phase” in rebuilding the Browns, who have gone 4-44 over the past three seasons. Talent has been brought in to Cleveland, and like so many GMs and coaches before him, Dorsey said there is a feeling of renewal. “You can feel a certain energy in the building,” he said. “That is what I always like about this period when new guys come in here and guys are really excited to be here and I really appreciate that. “Until those guys come together in training camp and the OTA sessions because every team’s identity is different year in and year out. Just meeting those guys today, I can understand that they are going to help us and help us achieve our ultimate goals.” Jackson has been invigorated by the infusion of talent, especially by the additions of Taylor and Landry, a combo that could transform the Browns. “It gives me back my swag,” joked Jackson, who is 1-31 in two seasons. “His nickname is Juice Landry. He does have juice. He is a tremendous football player. Obviously, his stats speak for themselves. He is a proven football player in the building who has a lot of intensity and a lot of pride about what he does. You look at Tyrod and the way he carries himself, you can tell he is very proud of is accomplishments. “I know everybody is talking about the past and what has gone on here. I don’t think that is what fazes him. He has been in tough situations before. We all understand the situation we are in. We have a lot of work to do. Those are two guys that you start to turn and change the narrative with and change the culture with.” NOTES: One day after retiring, Thomas was at the team’s facility working with T Shon Coleman, who could switch to left tackle after starting 16 games on the right side last season. Jackson said he’s told Thomas to hang around as much as he wants. “This is still his football team,” Jackson said. “His locker will stay the same. His place on the plane will be the same if he wants to go. That is how much I think of Joe Thomas. He will be missed.” … Dorsey sidestepped a few questions about upcoming workouts for college QBs. Because he was focused on free agency, he did not attend sessions for Oklahoma’s Baker Mayﬁeld or UCLA’s Josh Rosen, two of the top four prospects. “There are also private workouts, too,” he said. OH-70035535 Holzer Home Care is hiring RNs and LPNs! UMBC stuns top-seeded Virginia and-black uniforms with one ﬁnger pointed toward the sky. “These are the moments that you dream of,” Lyles said. Chaminade’s 77-72 stunner over Ralph Sampson and then No. 1-ranked Cavaliers in 1982 in Hawaii was generally considered the most remarkable upset in college basketball history. But that was the regular season. This came when it mattered the most — in the NCAA Tournament. The Cavaliers couldn’t get anything generated on offense and the nation’s top-ranked defense couldn’t contain the American East Conference champions who won their conference tournament at the buzzer. “Unbelievable — it’s really all you can say,” UMBC coach Ryan Odom said. The 74 points were the most Virginia had allowed this year. Virginia had allowed just 54.3 points per game this season, the fewest in the nation. Lyles was the catalyst. He diced up Virginia’s defense in the second half, getting to the hole easily on six different occasions and making easy layups. He also knocked down a pair of 3-pointers as UMBC built a 16-point lead. Lyles ﬁnished with 23 of his points in the second half and Joe Sherburne ﬁnished with 14 points. The game was tied at halftime, but the Retrievers came out conﬁdent and motivated in the second half and built a double-digit lead that Virginia could never erase. Sherburne was huge early in the second half and made believers out of everyone. He scored on an and-1 drive and then knocked down a 3-pointer from the top of the key after a behind-the-back pass from KJ Maura. After Virginia made a foul shot, the shifty 5-foot-8, 140-pound Maura drove the lane for uncontested layup. For more information call Human Resources at 740.446.5105.

(AP) — It ﬁnally happened — a 16 ousting a 1 in March Madness. The University of Maryland-Baltimore County stunned the college basketball world by pulling off the most shocking upset in men’s NCAA Tournament history, hammering Virginia 75-54 on Friday night to become the ﬁrst No. 16 seed ever to beat a No. 1 seed. Virginia entered the NCAA Tournament as tourney favorites — the No. 1 overall seed after going 31-2 this season, including 20-1 in ACC competition. And really, who was UMBC anyway — a team most glanced over, or simply didn’t know when they ﬁlled out their NCAA bracket? But UMBC didn’t just beat Virginia, it dominated throughout the second half. Senior guard Jairus Lyles scored 28 points and the Retreivers cruised to an easy victory before racing off the ﬂoor together in their yellow- PITTSBURGH (AP) — Mike Mitchell brought bluster and a physical if occasionally volatile presence to the Pittsburgh secondary. William Gay was a steady hand and contributed a decade of consistency to the Steelers. Robert Golden had the hard-to-quantify intangibles that made him a special teams ace and reliable backup. And now they’re gone. The two-time defending AFC North champions released all three players Wednesday, signaling a shift in direction in a defensive backﬁeld that faltered in key moments last season. The Steelers won 13 games but also allowed Tom Brady to light them up late in a mid-December loss that determined home-ﬁeld advantage throughout the AFC playoffs. They couldn’t stop Jacksonville’s Blake Bortles from orchestrating a playoff upset at Heinz Field that brought a season ﬁlled with Super Bowl expectations to an emphatic and sudden halt. The moves freed up about $7 million in cap space, money Pittsburgh can now use in part to retool around veteran cornerback Joe Haden, promising if erratic cornerback Artie Burns, and safety Sean Davis. Mitchell spent four uneven seasons with the Steelers, who made a rare splurge in free agency when they brought him in from Carolina in 2014, signing him to a ﬁve-year, $25 million deal. Mitchell picked off four passes and recovered four fumbles in Pittsburgh. He also reined in the questionable hits that cost him tens of thousands of dollars in ﬁnes earlier in his career. He also served as a ﬁrebrand for a secondary in transition following the retirement of stars Troy Polamalu and Ike Taylor. Yet he would occasionally go for the big hit when a routine tackle would have sufﬁced, an issue that popped up at inopportune times. Gay’s departure leaves quarterback Ben Roethlisberger as the only player from Pittsburgh’s last Super Bowl victory nearly a decade ago. Gay carved out a niche as a reliable and versatile defensive back. He has played in 176 consecutive games while spending 10 of his 11 seasons with the Steelers. Gay’s playing time decreased last season as rookie Mike Hilton took over his spot as the nickel back. Golden ﬁlled in at various spots in the secondary, though his real impact was on special teams, a unit he served as the captain from 2014-16. The moves came a month after Tom Bradley replaced Carnell Lake as defensive backs coach. Lake stepped down shortly after the playoff loss to Jacksonville to spend more time in California to watch his son play high school football. Pittsburgh, as has long been its custom, stayed quiet on the ﬁrst day of the league’s new year. The Steelers have focused most of their work over the last six weeks trying to get under the 2018 salary cap, something they’ve done largely through restructuring existing contracts. While Pittsburgh has depth concerns at safety and inside linebacker, it’s likely the Steelers will rely heavily on the draft to address those needs. Davis and J.J. Wilcox are the only safeties on the current roster with serious NFL experience. Pro Bowl linebacker Ryan Shazier has already been ruled out for 2018 as he recovers from spinal surgery in December. Shown by appointment only - 740-416-7853 �SPORTS/CLASSIFIEDS 6B Sunday, March 18, 2018 Carter From page 4B Carter had 13 points in the second half and was the trigger of a second-half surge by the Mountaineers. But more important than what Carter did offensively was the job he and his teammates did on the defensive end shutting down Stark. “It wasn’t just me. We’ve got a lot of different guys that can guard,” Carter said. “Our main focus was to stop him and make other guys beat us and we just did an unbelievable job of team defense.” Stark carried the offensive load all season for the Racers, scoring in double figures in 30 of 31 games entering the NCAAs, including three games of 30 or more points late in the season.

Stark, who was averaging 21.8 points per game, was 1 of 12 shooting and ﬁnished with nine points. “They’re a solid defensive team, but I got a lot of wide-open looks. I just didn’t knock the shots down, ” Stark said. “Credit to them. They did a great job of contesting some of my shots.” Murray State lingered long enough to at least make the Mountaineers work. Down by 14 early in the second half the Racers rallied, pulling within 49-44 on Shaq Buchanan’s basket. It capped a surge the Racers needed to avoid getting blown out.
