You’ve got an adult who wants to live on their own and a lot of times you have to have provider staff come out at different times of the day to help with different things. You can use technology to supplement that and replace it in some cases.” Myers said there was a “huge shortage of direct service professionals” that visit client homes to provide assistance. “It also provides ways to keep people safe when they’re by themselves because we can control and monitor pieces of technology from a remote location to provide some support,” said Myers.

BIDWELL — Gallia County Local Schools released a statement Friday to update the public about its knowledge of COVID-19, also known as the Wuhan Coronavirus, and how the district is taking steps to address the health and safety of students and staff. District Superintendent Jude Meyers said school administration had recently met with the Gallia Health Department to discuss concerns and appropriate methods to counter ongoing issues with inﬂuenza as well as a potential future COVID-19 infection. A letter released by the district states, “We are working closely with the Gallia County Health Department and the Ohio Department of Health to monitor the situation and develop a coordinated and comprehensive public health plan to ensure we are prepared if cases arise in our schools or community. They will be providing surgical masks to be used as a precaution when a student exhibits respiratory symptoms (as hospitals do). The nurses, secretaries, and principals have been notiﬁed of the protocol to share out with our staff. While we do have protocols for medical pandemics which we are prepared to implement, additional public health recommendations will be implemented as needed. Updated information will be shared with the school community and posted on our website as it become available. With regard to cleaning and disinfecting our buildings, we are increasing our typical protocols to disinfect common contact surfaces more frequently. Additionally, we are reminding students, especially our youngest learners, of proper hand-washing steps and how to prevent the spread of illness, including measures below. In Ohio, we continue to be in the peak of ﬂu season.” The Gallia Health Department recommends residents take part in standard hygiene practices to eliminate germs and avoid illness and get a ﬂu vaccination.

Recruiting farmers for expanded senior market program During the Summer of 2019, the Ohio Department of Aging announced that part of the State budget for 2020-21 would include funding to support an increase in access to healthy, locally grown, fresh fruits and vegetables for older Ohioans. Historically, this type of access has been offered through the Senior Farmers’ Market Nutrition Program, which provides eligible older adults with $50 in coupons each growing season to use at participating farmers’ markets and roadside stands to purchase produce. The Senior Farmers’ Market Nutrition Program (SFMNP) is a federally funded program administered by the United States Department of Agriculture’s Food and Nutrition Services Agency and in Ohio, by the Ohio Department of Aging (ODA). ODA provides additional state funds to support SFMNP operation within Ohio. Prior to the expansion of funding in Ohio, the Senior Farmers’ Market Nutrition Program was available in 45 of Ohio’s 88 counties. In the Area Agency on Aging District 7’s (AAA7) ten-county district, Ross County was the lone county that was designated to participate in the program. Now, thanks to the increased funding in the State budget, the AAA7 is able to expand the SFMNP to the other counties in the district including Adams, Brown, Gallia, Highland, Jackson, Lawrence, Pike, Scioto and Vinton. As part of the expansion process, the AAA7 is seeking farmers to participate in the SFMNP from the nine counties that have been added to the project (Adams, Brown, Gallia, Highland, Jackson, Lawrence, Pike, Scioto and Vinton). To become a participating farmer, the following criteria must be met: Must be an individual who grows and sells authorized, local produce, herbs and/or honey at farmers’ markets or road stands in the nine counties mentioned beforehand; Participate in a training for new farmers participating in the SFMNP; Follow and comply with guidelines and responsibilities as set forth by the Ohio SFMNP; Provide information to the appropriate oversight agencies about the farmers’ market/ roadside stand including name, location, hours of operation and other operational information; Meet set USDA regulations and meet any training requirements as determined. “We at Area Agency on Aging District 7 are committed to rolling out this exceptional program throughout our region,” stated Nina R. Keller, executive director of the AAA7. “For many years, we have requested expansion money so eligible individuals in all of our ten county region would have the opportunity to improve their nutrition through increasing their consumption of fresh fruits and vegetables. This is a win for the individual senior and for the farmer who can receive reimbursement for their locally grown produce. We encourage individuals who might be eligible and farmers who want to participate to contact us today!” Any farmers who are interested can print an application online by visiting the AAA7’s website at www.aaa7. org. Farmers can also call the Agency toll-free at 1-800-343-8112 with any questions or e-mail FarmersMarket@aaa7. org. Submitted by AAA7.

MATT CHAMPLIN OH-70176753 Sunday, March 8, 2020 3A GALLIA COUNTY SHERIFF 2020 I would like the people of Gallia County know that I have always been proud to call Gallia county home. I have a lot of family who has lived in this community for many years; the Stapleton’s, Davison’s, Holley’s, and others. And like myself, many of them are business owners, or have been business owners here. We believe in hard work and dedication. As a business owner I have sold used cars for over 20 years. I always strive to be fair with my customers and maintain a good reputation. Something I learned a long time ago is that even though the sign on the outside of my garage reads :Jay’s Auto sales”, everyone that comes through the door is potentially my boss. If elected as a Gallia County Commissioner, I understand the people of this county will also be my boss and I believe that if we work together, we can achieve our goals.

Sunday Times-Sentinel Sunday Times-Sentinel �A long the River 6A Sunday, March 8, 2020 Sunday Times-Sentinel Following the ‘Quilt Trails’ By Kayla Hawthorne FOLLOWING THE TRAIL IN GALLIA khawthorne@aimmediamidwest. com OHIO VALLEY — Quilt squares have been placed on barns for years as a way to honor or represent a person, memory or loved thing. In Mason County, there is a trail of over 30 quilt squares — each with a special meaning. The Mason County Quilt Trail came to be thanks to the efforts of Denny Bellamy of the Convention and Visitors Bureau (CVB), and a few community members and volunteers in 2001. There are four driving trails to view the quilts, according to the visitors guide map. As previously reported by Ohio Valley Publishing, students at the Mason County Career Center helped to cut the wooden squares for the quilts. Other volunteers helped to design and paint the blocks. Bellamy said that Mollie Yauger was the ﬁrst to mention a quilt trail and he promised her a type of visitors’ guide solely dedicated to the quilt blocks. Bellamy said that he is in the process of working on a magazine-style guide that includes all the quilt squares on the trail — which includes a few more than the original 30 that appear in the Mason County Visitors’ Guide. Bellamy said this new book with include global positioning system (GPS) coordinates along with the addresses. Coordinates have been requested by many of the trail travelers as an easier way to locate the quilt squares. The tourism center states the quilt trail promotes agri-tourism and pride for Mason County. The quilt guide should include meanings behind the speciﬁc quilt squares. For example, the star lily quilt square at the Johnson farm on Ripley Road was chosen as a memorial to the thousands of lilies that once bloomed on their property. The hunters’ star on Route 35 was reportedly chosen to represent the nearby Chief Cornstalk Wildlife Management Area. There is also a pineapple square at the CVB center as a sign of hospitality. The ﬁrst quilt square, on Yauger’s barn, is a maple leaf. Some of the quilts along the trail include: Pineapple square — Mason County Tourism Center; 210 Viand Street, Point Pleasant. Delectable Mountains — USDA Agriculture Service Center; 224 First Street, Point Pleasant Star Lilly — Steve and Judy Johnson; 9343 Ripley Road, Point Pleasant Log Cabin — W.Va.

Fraziers Bottom, home of Fonda Burris. Two quilt squares are located on Bob Evans farm in Rio Grande, “The Gallia County Quilt Barn Trail” and “Central Star Quilt Square.” A patriotic square is located at 778 Ohio 850 in Bidwell on the property of Rex and Louise Greenlee. The “Ohio Star”is portrayed on the Fisher property at 332 Kraus Beck Road near Gallipolis. The Lester Farm has the “Log Cabin” square at 3215 Ohio 233 in Greenfield Township. “Jacob’s Ladder” is on the Altizer’s property at 3835 Ohio 325 near Patriot. At 9 Evergreen Road near Bidwell is the “Snail Trail” quilt square. “Texas Broken Star” can be found at 4743 Ohio 7 near the power plants on the Fellure’s property. “The Ohio Star” is on the south end of Gallia at 11665 Ohio 218 on the Fowler Farm. On the old GCCVB building is the “Unconventional Pineapple” at 61 Court Street. “Century of Progress” is visible on the Niday Farm at 844 Lincoln Pike. Located at 5673 Ohio 325 near Patriot on the Trout property is “5440 or Flight.” Also on the Trout land is the “North Star” square. At 7009 Ohio 775 is “The Carpenters Wheel” on the Carter Farm. Also on Ohio 775 at 1154 is “The Tobacco Leaf” on the Massie Farm. Many more quilt squares can be found throughout Gallia County, with an estimated total of more than fifty. Gallia County is also home to a unique trail which connects rural communities in living, vibrant color. The Gallia County Quilt Barn trail captures a way of life that reaches back to the settling of the area. In 2007, the Gallia County Convention and Visitors Bureau started the trail as a way to promote local history and tourism to the lesser visited areas of the county OVP | File Photo Each of the barns on A quilt square at the Bob Evans Farm in Rio Grande. the list feature a quilt pattern painted on to an Valley Road, Southside Point Pleasant eight-foot-by-eight-foot Crown of Thorns — Double Star — Carl square and then fastened Sherry Goodall; 13580 and Edna Jefferson; 4631 to the side of the barn, Cornstalk Road, SouthGreer Road, Point Pleasvisible from the main side ant roadway where it can Interwoven Star — God’s Eye — Jack and be seen by tourists and Fonda Burris; 10568 Claudia Burris; 5200 Black Oak Road, Fraziers have some kind of historSeven Mile Ridge Road, ical story or reason to be Bottom Apple Grove on the trail.

THEIR VIEW Lessons from a shopping cart The next time you shop at Aldi, you might get something unexpected: Positive human interaction with strangers. If you haven’t shopped at the grocer before, it has some unusual costcutting measures. For instance, you must put a quarter in a slot to unlock a grocery cart from just outside the store, with the knowledge you’ll get your 25 cents back once you return the cart to the proper location. Essentially, it eliminates those feral shopping carts you see rolling around in most parking lots. This is where a costcutting move turns into an experiment in connecting with strangers. Many times when you’re leaving the store, you’ll see someone who is about to get a fresh cart. Tuesday, March 10. Rebuttal letters must be received by 4 p.m., Thursday, March 12.

High school principal Daniel Otto has played a big role in the success of the breakfast program, but was the administrator in charge of the district and was unable to attend the event. The Southern Local School Board was also recognized for their support of the program. Prior to receiving the award, a video featuring the Southern breakfast program was played on the big screen. The video was narrated by members of the Southern administration. The keynote speaker for the 25th Annual Menu of Hope Luncheon was legendary sports icon Sugar Ray Leonard, who has united with OHA to knockout childhood hunger. With a deep calling towards and a passion for humanity, Sugar Ray Leonard has always been devoted to his community and helping those in need. Through the work of the Sugar Ray Leonard Foundation, he is committed to helping children lead healthier lives through diet and exercise, equipping them with the champion’s personal, raw and uplifting message of hope, endurance, resilience and commitment.

In addition, many technologies in the home such as security systems, door locks, cameras and motion sensors are accessible by remote staff from a central monitoring facility.

These supports can allow greater privacy and independence while reducing the cost of services and allowing more people to receive services during a shortage of available staff. SOCOG received the $20,000 grant on Jan. 1, 2019 from Ohio State’s Nisonger Center and the Ohio Developmental Disabilities Council. SOCOG’s grant funds went toward the purchase From page 1A Yost continued, “Every day that passes is one more day that companies can settle with someone ahead of Ohio. Our risk goes up as we get closer to New York’s trial date of March 20. Now is the time for Ohio to come together and do what’s right for our citizens. One Ohio is the best choice for all Ohioans.” During Thursday’s Meigs County Commissioner meeting, President of the Board Randy Smith presented the resolution to join the One Ohio plan and enter into the memorandum of understanding with the state on the matter. A portion of the resolution, which was unanimously approved, states, “It is the opinion of the Board that Meigs County, Ohio, is likely to receive a more favorable resolution of the civil litigation in a more timely manner by joining forces with other local governments and the State of Ohio to address the opioid epidemic and the grave affects it has had on the citizens of the State of Ohio and Meigs County, Ohio.” Smith explained that One Ohio allows for the Attorney General’s Ofﬁce to represent the counties, cities and others local government agencies as one entity moving forward with the litigation and potential settlement. Impacting the decision to move forward with joining the One Ohio plan, explained Smith, was the lack of communication and updates from the retained counsel on the matter. He explained that he had not heard from the attorney other than the one call he made to them. Smith, who serves on the County Commissioners Association of Ohio (CCAO) Board of Directors, said the matter of whether or not to join with the state on the lawsuit had been discussed at the CCAO, with the agency involved in drafting the resolutions and MOU for the plan. A state-level board would be set up to oversee any settlement funds, with a portion of the funds to be allocated by that board, a smaller portion to the state and a portion to local governments who participate in the case. Smith said there is to be a “heavy” small county presence involved on the board. Weighing into the decision to join in with the state is that the larger state level case will be able to carry more weight in settlements or potential trials that should the county pursue it alone, and there will be no attorney fees for the county as the Attorney General’s Ofﬁce will be the attorney on the case, added Smith. The county will be sending a letter to the law ﬁrm it previously retained explaining the decision and releasing them from representing the county. © 2020 Ohio Valley Publishing, all rights reserved. of a trailer that was outﬁtted in April 2019 with technology by Total Homecare Solutions, LLC, a leading provider of remote support services. Ohio’s goal of creating awareness about remote supports was formalized on May 24, 2018 when then Gov. John Kasich signed an executive order making Ohio a Technology First state. This order speciﬁcally stated Ohio’s goal to “ensure supportive technology solutions are considered when determining the appropriate services and supports to be provided for people with developmental disabilities.” SOCOG’s grant proposal called for a technology expert to lead the grant’s efforts. Due to his background in technology and knowledge of service delivery, Myers was chosen for this role and has been displaying the technology through various counties within SOCOG’s service area.

Edwards has been an advocate in the ﬁght against hunger in all of Southeastern Ohio and statewide. Also present was Sonja Hill, the Southeast Regional consultant for the Ohio Children’s Hunger Alliance. Hill was integral in Southern Local receiving an Ohio Hunger Alliance grant and ‘Breakfast in the Classroom Grant’ that has allowed Southern to become so successful. “This is a huge honor,” said Deem. “It is an honor that comes with what we try to do every day — ‘Do What’s Best for Kids’. That has always been my motto as superintendent. To get an award for this is just a bonus, and a tribute to the folks at Southern Local. We have a severe need for programs such as the breakfast program and the assistance provided through the Hunger Alliance.” “We are proud to be recognized as the Breakfast Program of the Year in the State of Ohio and to bring this award back to Meigs County,” said Scott Wolfe. “Much hard work by our entire teaching staff, support staff, and our kitchen staff went into making our program a success and they all share in receiving this distinguished award.” “The Hunger Alliance grants were important in allowing us to get equipment, hot bags, warmers, and carts to get the breakfasts out to the kids,” noted Deem. “We are fortunate to have them as our partners.” Principal Tricia McNickle said, “In the past we had kids that were tired, hungry, and genuinely in need of a nutritious breakfast. We have a great need in our district and our breakfast program is a big part of what we try to do for kids.” McNickle has joined forces with school counselors and staff, and community sponsors Lawsuit Gene Smith, Columbus Mayor Andrew Ginther, numerous State Senators and Representatives, and many leaders of corporate America Columbus City Council President Shannon G. Hardin and Dee B. Haslam, CEO of Haslam Sports Group, are this year’s honorary Co-Chairs for the Menu of Hope. Gov. Mike DeWine (R-Ohio) joined Ohio First Lady Fran DeWine to address the crowd. DeWine noted that programs sponsored by the Hunger Alliance can play a key role in helping children have a good education. DeWine acknowledged that hunger is a common problem that he hears about weekly from teachers. “Teachers have kids who come to school hungry and teachers observe that,” said DeWine. “Teachers know that hunger has a real impact on a child’s ability to learn,” Scott Wolfe added, “We never dreamed how big a deal this was until we saw such a large crowd in the banquet hall. The award is great, but is secondary to what we as administrators and teachers try to do daily and that is help kids be successful. We are really humbled. Hunger is real and we try to do our part to eliminate it in our part of the world.” “We want to especially thank Sonja Hill (former Southern graduate) for her role in advocating for kids in the Southeastern part of the state,” added Wolfe. Wolfe also noted that the weekend sack-lunch program is operated completely on donations and donated goods. He urges folks or organizations to donate directly to the school or to the Ohio Children’s Hunger Alliance. Call McNickle for details. The Children’s Hunger Alliance, in collaboration with community partners, helps provide millions of meals each year to children who need us most.

Ohio State settling some suits over doc abuse; cost unclear COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Ohio State reached an unspeciﬁed settlement with nearly half of the roughly 350 men who say they were sexually abused decades ago by a team doctor who was jokingly known among some athletes by nicknames like “Dr. Jelly Paws.” The settlement announced Friday is the ﬁrst for accusers of the late doctor, Richard Strauss, who they say groped and otherwise mistreated students for two decades while school ofﬁcials who knew of concerns did little to stop him. Ohio State wouldn’t disclose the dollar amount but said in a statement that a special overseer independent of the university will help allocate the funds to individual accusers based on their experiences and the harm done. Those payments will come from “existing institutional discretionary funding,” not tuition or taxpayer or donor money, according to the school. Rick Schulte, a lawyer who represented former Ohio State football players, wrestlers and other athletes, said the settlement will help the men move forward and heal. “The bravery of our clients is humbling,” Schulte said in the statement shared by the university. “We are pleased that Ohio State stepped forward and did the right thing.” Ohio State wouldn’t disclose details, and it was unclear whether speciﬁcs of the settlement had See SUITS | 2B ATHENS, Ohio — A total of 13 boys representing Gallia and Meigs counties were named to the 2019-20 OPSWA AllSoutheast District basketball teams, as selected by a media panel from within the district.

Though concerns were raised with athletics and student health ofﬁcials, none reported Strauss to law enforcement or regulators. When the State Medical Board of Ohio eventually investigated him in 1996 after he complained about another physician, credible evidence about Strauss’ sexual misconduct was ignored and, inexplicably, no action was taken against him, according to a state panel’s review of the old investigation. No one has publicly defended Strauss as dozens of men have recounted how the abuse has caused long-lasting harm to their health and relationships. In lawsuits against Ohio State, they alleged the school violated the federal Title IX law that bars sex discrimination in education. The university initially argued those claims were time-barred by law. Beyond the litigation, Ohio State and some of its former employees face more scrutiny. The U.S. Department of Education Ofﬁce for Civil Rights has said it is examining whether the school responded “promptly and equitably” to students’ complaints. And Ohio’s medical board is reviewing whether there are any licensed Ohio doctors who knew or suspected Strauss’ misconduct and should have reported it but didn’t.

As more accusers came forward or sued, the university learned of about 1,500 alleged instances of decades-old sexual misconduct by Strauss, and old records and new interviews revealed a much different portrait of him from the one implied by his unblemished employment ﬁle. Alumni began sharing stories of being groped during mandatory medical exams, and one former athlete described being drugged and raped. Other ex-athletes recalled a voyeuristic doctor who showered in their locker rooms and was joked about as “Dr. Jelly Paws.” In an investigation conducted for the school, a law ﬁrm concluded Strauss sexually abused Girls Olivia Alloway, Vincent Warren; Millie Ryan, Vincent Warren; Paige Carter, Waverly; Carli Knight, Waverly; Gracie Dean, Hillsboro; Karleigh Hopkins, Hillsboro; Payton Pryor, Greenﬁeld McClain; Megan Diehl, Circleville Logan Elm; Riley Schultz, Circleville Logan Elm; Magarah Bloom, Miami Trace; Delaney Eakins, Miami Trace; Halli Wall, Washington Court House; Katie Burke, Lancaster Fairﬁeld Union.

The NCAA Division I men’s and women’s basketball tournament begin in less than in two weeks. Those games will be played in large arenas in front of crowds of thousands across the country, from Spokane, Washington, to Albany, New York. The men’s semiﬁnals and championship game are scheduled for April 4 and April 6 at Mercedes-Benz Stadium, which seats 75,000. Dr. Brian Hainline, the NCAA’s chief medical ofﬁcer, said in an interview with the AP on Friday night that contingency plans are being discussed and include playing games with only essential personal at the site — as was done at Johns Hopkins. “That probably is the ultimate scenario that we’re ready for,” Hainline said.

Maryland announced there were three cases of the virus. A student at Yeshiva, an Orthodox Jewish university in the Washington Heights neighborhood of New York City, tested positive for the virus. The game was delayed by more than an hour after a Yeshiva rabbi tested positive and the school needed to provide documentation to ensure it was safe to play. WPI waited at its hotel while that was completed, and three players decided not to to take the court because of fears about the virus. “Once we got the OK from Johns Hopkins University and the NCAA that they felt comfortable, we had most of our team and student-athletes and parents comfortable about playing. We didn’t have everybody, though,” WPI coach Chris Bartley said. “We left it up to the individual student and their parents to make that decision and we tried to provide as much information as possible. The difﬁculty in this situation is there was not much information for us to disseminate to our parents and students.” When things got under way, the national anthem and starting lineups went on as normal with players giving each other ﬁst pounds instead of handshakes. The two coaches shook hands before tip-off and shared some disappointment the game wasn’t played in a normal environment. OH-70176529 BALTIMORE (AP) — In what was believed to be the ﬁrst U.S. sports event held without fans because of the new coronavirus, Yeshiva University beat Worcester Polytechnic Institute in a Division III men’s basketball NCAA Tournament game Friday in an empty gym at Johns Hopkins University. Players on each bench cheered and chanted “Defense!” to make up for the lack of fans. The squeaking sound of sneakers and bouncing of the ball reverberated off the walls of the 1,100-seat Goldfarb Gymnasium that was otherwise so quiet that the in-game chatter could be heard several rows back. “It was deﬁnitely a weird experience,” WPI forward Jake Wisniewski said. “All the emotions that are going on the court, everyone was able to hear it, which was weird. Usually, the crowd can kind of mask a lot of things that are being said on the court.” As students walked by the athletics facility, there were police ofﬁcers outside and signs on doors reading, “No spectators.” Music blared over the speakers inside and some pre-planned fan announcements, including one promoting social media sharing — “Tell the world you’re here” — went on with no fans to hear them. Only players, coaches, referees, employees and media members were present, so the ofﬁcial attendance was 0. “It was deﬁnitely different, but our guys on the Elect Clendenin 64/37 Charleston 65/39 Shown are noon positions of weather systems and precipitation.

(AP) — West Virginia has after terrifying Daytona wreck from ‘79 Open uprooted rehired a pair of former longtime assistant football coaches, adding Jeff Casteel as a defensive analyst and Bill Legg as the assistant to coach Neal Brown. Brown announced the hirings Friday. Casteel was the defensive coordinator and linebackers coach at Nevada for the past three years. He served as defensive coordinator and other roles during his stint at West Virginia from 2001-11. He also was the defensive coordinator at Arizona from 201216. Legg served as offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach at Mercer last season. At West Virginia he was the interior offensive line coach from 1995 to 1999 and the offensive coordinator in his ﬁnal season under Hall of Fame coach Don Nehlen. Among his other stints, Legg was the offensive coordinator at Marshall from 2010-17 and coached tight ends and was the recruiting coordinator for the Thundering Herd from 2001-02. Both Casteel and Legg are West Virginia natives. AVONDALE, Ariz. (AP) — Ryan Newman was back at the track Friday, sipping on a Coke and casually strolling through the inﬁeld of Phoenix Raceway. It was hard to believe he was in a terrifying wreck at the Daytona 500 less than three weeks ago. “It’s great to be alive,” Newman said. “If you look at my car, it’s a miracle.” The harrowing crash on the last lap at Daytona had many fearing the worst. To the shock of almost everyone, Newman walked out of a hospital less than 48 hours after the crash and said Friday he feels “ﬁne.” Newman said he was at the track this weekend to provide support the Roush Fenway Racing team, including Ross Chastain, who has driven his car the past few weeks. He said he has “no idea” when he would return to racing and looked forward to taking advantage of having a different vantage point of the team. “I feel like I should be able to take advantage of Jr., 10.0; Bryson Badgley, Greenﬁeld McClain, 6-1, So., 17.2; Ryan Scott, Hillsboro, 6-0, Jr., 16.4 From page 1B SPECIAL MENTION Caden Donaldson, Jackson; Drew Bragg, JackLance Montgomery, McArthur Vinton County, son; Mark Duckworth, Marietta; Joel Chevalier, 6-0, Jr., 14.0; Josh LamVincent Warren; Kurt bert, Chillicothe Unioto, Taylor, Vincent Warren; 6-2, Sr., 9.4; Jake BaumNate Trainer, Athens; gard, Vincent Warren, Isaac Clary, Gallipolis 6-5, Jr., 9.1; Brayden Gallia Academy; Brandon Whiting, Athens, 5-10, Call, Bidwell River Valley; Jr., 17.0; Logan Blouir, Charlie Bean, Lancaster Gallipolis Gallia Academy, 6-2, Sr., 16.6; Jordan Fairﬁeld Union; Jeremy Wietelmann, Circleville Lambert, Bidwell River Logan Elm; Trevor BarkValley, 6-5, Jr., 17.3; Will Futhey, Waverly, 6-5, So., er, Miami Trace; Evan 11.1; Chase Poston, Lan- Justice, Circleville; Tanner Lemaster, Washingcaster Fairﬁeld Union, 6-4, Sr., 12.5; Isaac Ward, ton Court House; Caleb Crawford, Hillsboro; Will Circleville Logan Elm, 5-10, Jr., 15.1; Gabe Chal- Stenson, New Lexington ﬁn, Circleville Logan Elm, 6-0, Jr., 14.8; Logan Rod- Division III gers, Miami Trace, 6-7, FIRST TEAM Jr., 13.8; Landen Russell, Chase Hammond, Oak Thornville Sheridan, 6-2, Hill, 6-4, Sr., 20.0; J.K.

The Black Hills spruce known as “The Hinkle Tree” was partially uprooted by a gust of wind this week at Inverness Club in Toledo, Ohio, and was cut down. The tree dated to the 79th Open, when a journeyman pro named Lon Hinkle came up with a way to outsmart the course during the ﬁrst round. Hinkle noticed that he could take a shortcut by hitting through a gap of trees near the eighth tee and drive his ball on the adjacent 17th fairway, shaving 75 yards off the dogleg hole. It made for an easy birdie, but U.S. Golf Association ofﬁcials were not amused. The USGA dispatched the course’s greens chairman to bring in a tree from a nursery and block the shortcut. Overnight, the Black Hill spruce, about 20 feet tall, appeared in the gap.

Collins scored as a whistle was blown and goaltending of a layup attempt by the Hawks’ Trae Young was called on Dallas’ Dorian FinneySmith. Collins grabbed Young’s miss and scored, as confusion reigned. “What I’ll say on the record is hopefully they’ll let us release our actual ﬁling of the protest,” Cuban said Friday before the Mavericks’ home game against Memphis. “I’m waiting to hear back from them. Then everybody gets to see why we thought it needed to be protested.” Cuban also said he would match the ﬁne with a donation that would include funding the heart transplant of a local man. Ofﬁciating crew chief Rodney Mott told a pool reporter that night after Atlanta’s 111-107 win that “the original call on the ﬂoor was a goaltend” and that Collins’ basket was allowed because “the ball was blocked and reviewed. The ball hit the rim, so it was deemed an inadvertent whistle. … Because (Collins) was in his shooting motion when my whistle blew, it’s deemed continuation, so therefore the basket counts.” The NBA said that after the game, Cuban “walked onto the court and approached game ofﬁcials shaking his head and directing comments toward them” and noted that was the second time he was on the court to challenge a call that night. “Following the game, Mr. Cuban spoke to reporters in the arena and tweeted several times that night and into the next day with comments that were highly critical, personal and demeaning to the league and its ofﬁciating staff,” the league said. Cuban’s $500,000 ﬁne raised the total that NBA has ﬁned him over the years to at least $3.1 million, and the Mavericks’ owner has said in the past that he always donates the equivalent of the ﬁne amount to charity simultaneously. This was the third time a ﬁne of at least $500,000 against Cuban was announced by the league; he was ﬁned $500,000 for comments about ofﬁciating in 2002 and $600,000 in 2018 for public comments on tanking. “Team personnel who watch games from seats, especially seats near the court, should set a positive example for fans by ensuring that any isolated comments directed at the game ofﬁcials or the ofﬁciating are respectful and appropriate,” the league said in its memo. “Of course, brief social interactions resulting from courtesy between team personnel and game ofﬁcials are always permitted.” MLB wants to ban in-game video, union would allow TAMPA, Fla. (AP) — Major League Baseball has proposed banning player access to video during games, according to New York Yankees pitcher Zack Britton, but the union wants to allow it with protections that would prevent catchers’ signs from being visible. Players’ association head Tony Clark met with the Yankees for three hours Wednesday and discussed negotiations for new video rules in the wake of the Houston Astros’ sign-stealing scandal. “Right now, MLB’s proposal would be like a blackout. There would be no access,” Britton said. “That’s a pretty extreme stance because of one team, that every- one else is punished. So, hopefully, we can ﬁnd some common ground, but deﬁnitely before opening day. Guys would like to understand what we’re going to be allowed to use and what we’re not going to be allowed to use before opening day.” Houston violated rules by using a camera in the outﬁeld to steal catchers’ signs during its run to the 2017 World Series title and again in 2018. The team was ﬁned $5 million, manager AJ Hinch and general manager Jeff Luhnow were suspended for one season and the team was stripped of draft picks. Hinch and Luhnow were ﬁred by the team, but no players were disciplined. MLB also is investigating whether Boston broke rules. Under the union’s proposal, hitters would still be allowed to review video of their at-bats during games and pitchers would be allowed to look over their mound performance. “The view that the players have is one that is concerned about where the game is and where it’s going. So everything that we’ve slid across the table in regards to proposals on technology has been a reﬂection of that,” Clark said. “And that we’ve slid across includes access to technology, certain technology during the course of the game. There’s systems that allow for access to your at-bats, and or your time on the mound. Having access to those videos even with certain criteria in place to protect the integrity of those videos is what has been in the proposals.” Clark said there are a number of ways to implement it, including in-house monitoring. The clips would not show catcher’s signs. “The video person would be entrusted with cutting those clips, and you would look to have a standard of oversight thereafter,” Clark said. “The conversions we’ve had included that, as well as the individual clips sent to a central place that allows for time since 1981-82 but lost the NL wild-card game after wasting an eighth-inning lead against Washington. If Yelich keeps playing at this level and had he waited until becoming a free agent after the 2022 season, he likely would have commanded far more. “Christian is everything you could want as the face of a franchise — from his incredible performance on the ﬁeld, to his leadership as a teammate, to his dedication to the community,” Brewers owner Mark Attanasio said in a statement. The 28-year-old outﬁelder had been guaranteed $12.5 million this year, $14 million in 2021 and a $1.25 million buyout of a $16 million team option for 2022. His new agreement includes the same amounts for 2020 and 2021, then adds $26 million annually from 2022-28, of which $4 million a year is deferred. The deal contains a $20 million team option for 2029 with a $6.5 million buyout, which if exercised would make the contract worth $228.5 million over 10 years. Attanasio said contract talks with Yelich began over lunch last Halloween. Yelich was not think- ing about the potential of free agency, “I don’t have any regrets about it. It’s just one of those things in the path my career took,” he said. Yelich acknowledged teammate Ryan Braun, who stood nearby, for talking with him through the process of committing to the Brewers. His eyes welled up with tears when he spoke about the people who helped him. “There’s a lot of people that go into today,” Yelich said. “I have no doubt that I wouldn’t be here without their contributions and their efforts. That’s what makes today special. There’s been a lot of people that have made my life a priority over theirs.” Yelich leads the major leagues over the past two seasons with a .327 batting average and is second in on-base percentage (.415), slugging percentage (.631) and OPS (1.046). Yelich was in the lineup as the designated hitter in his spring training game debut Friday against San Francisco. “It’s been a while. I’m anxious to start getting out there and just get back to playing baseball again with my teammates and preparing for the season,” Yelich said.

At the same time as a team, we’re more focused now on moving forward and try and win a World Series this year, which I think is the right mindset to have.” The union and MLB also have discussing security issues involving Houston players and their families. “All of those things are things that we address routinely,” Clark said. “As of a result of where we are now, rarely do we address them or look to address them at spring training. More often it’s the regular season, but that’s what we’re doing.” Nearly 4000+/-SF Multi-Use Building/House Yelich stakes future to Brewers with $215M, 9-year deal PHOENIX (AP) — Christian Yelich took to Milwaukee so much he staked his long-term future to the Brewers. “I’ve said many times that I’ve only been here for two years, but it feels like it’s been a lot longer,” the two-time NL batting champion said Wednesday after ﬁnalizing a $215 million, nine-year contract. “Ever since I came, it’s felt like just a natural ﬁt, a place that is great for myself and my family, and formed a connection with the community, my teammates, everyone from ownership and front ofﬁce on down.” His new deal added $187.25 million over seven seasons to the remaining $27.75 million Yelich was guaranteed as part of the $49.57 million, seven-year contract he signed in March 2015 with Miami. Yelich was dealt to the Brewers in January 2018, and he won the NL batting title and MVP award as the Brewers reached Game 7 of the NL Championship Series. He added another batting championship and ﬁnished second in the MVP vote last year, when his season was cut short by a broken kneecap on Sept. 10. The Brewers reached the playoffs in consecutive seasons for the ﬁrst review, as well.” Clark said the union is open to setting rules for player discipline for future technology rules violations. Players will not be punished for violations in the Boston and Houston investigations, baseball Commissioner Rob Manfred has said. “We’d be willing to have that conversion, and that’s what happening as we speak,” Clark said. Some players were angry Astros players were not penalized. “The stance of the guys pretty much in here is more frustration with MLB and the commissioner’s ofﬁce on the handling that,” Britton said. “The frustration Joe Pyle, Broker WV212 Alan Heldreth WV2224 5546 Benedum Drive, Shinnston, WV (888) 875-1599 www.joerpyleauctions.com �SPORTS 6B Sunday, March 8, 2020 Sunday Times-Sentinel All in the family All are familiar with one another in regards to the sport, and the quintet share a special bond in trying to get the most out of their wrestlers on a year-in, year-out basis.

Point coaches discuss 5-title run over past 11 years the best thing about a leader is that the person in charge brought in some knowledgeable people around him,” Ott said. “It’s a family atmosphere, and John runs a great household.” It was during their 2-year stint at the junior high ranks that the future of PPHS wrestling started to take shape. “Jack Cullen, my head coach and still the head coach at Point at the time, really laid the foundation for everything here. That needs to be mentioned before anything else. He asked me to coach junior high in 2008 and Jed had just taken a job at the school,” John Bonecutter said. “I called Jed and asked if he was interested in coaching. It started there in junior high for two years, plus we’d always go watch the state tournament and watch what other successful programs were doing. We started taking notes and said if we were ever high school coaches, this is what we wanted to do. Basically, we were up there stealing ideas.” The younger Bonecutter, David, still holds the PPHS record for most pinfall wins in a season, and he also played a big role — along with Jed and his brother — in getting the Big Blacks to the ﬁrst of three consecutive championships in 2010 … John’s ﬁrst year as head coach.

Smith, at that same time, was still working hard with the junior high and youth programs, but the current 5-man staff was ﬁnally assembled at that point. David noted that everybody in the group knew that they could, and would, work well together … regardless of personal backgrounds. “In looking back, we’ve been together for a long time and the like-mindedness has gone a long way,” David Bonecutter said. “The stars aligned and it’s just worked out perfectly. Jed’s from North Marion and George graduated from Amherst (OH), but all ﬁve of us are Point Pleasant guys. We all love the sport and we’re all dedicated to the program.” It was during that 4-year run in Class AAA that the staff found out what it was really made of, especially after dominating the double-A ﬁeld that past three years. It didn’t end up killing them, and they all admit that they — and the program — are stronger now because of it. “The move to triple-A was tough because it the perfect storm of bad timing. We had just graduated some really good wrestlers from the year before and we had a stupid incident that ﬁrst year that led to us dismissing a few kids from the team,” John Bonecutter said. “We still earned our highest ﬁnish ever at triple-A, but it was tough to have to make that decision. In the long run, it was the right call … and I think the program is in a better position now because the tough choices we made that year. “As a staff, it was frustrating … but sometimes you have to realign your goals. We didn’t have the depth or the ﬁrepower to compete with Huntington and Parkersburg South at that time, so the goal became seeing how many podium ﬁnishers and state champions we could produce.” The Big Blacks were never higher than sixth place in any of their four Class AAA tournament from 2013 through 2016, but the program did land four straight top-10 ﬁnishes while quadrupling its triple-A champions list from one to four. Through those tough times, Casto noted that the coaches decided it was time to up the ante — all in the name of improving the program. “The move to tripleA was right around the same time we started our offseason conditioning program. We realized if we were staying at the triple-A level, things had to change for us,” Casto said. “Honestly, that’s when we laid the foundation for what we have now. It was a shell-shock, moving up to triple-A, but it was also a blessing in disguise. It showed us how much farther we could take this thing.” Also during those tougher postseason runs, the youth and junior high programs at Point Pleasant started developing some really promising wrestlers that marked what has been the next run of championship trophies. Smith — who is mostly responsible for seven podium placements between his sons George Jr. and Christopher the past ﬁve years — noted that starting kids out young, the right way, has been a huge beneﬁt to the varsity program’s growth. “I really believe the success of our varsity program starts with our youth program. It’s been around for many, many years and we’ve implemented a club with it as well. Essentially, we have two groups feeding the junior high program and eventually the varsity program,” Smith said. “It builds an interest in the sport and in the community.

It’s made a big difference.” Being the oldest coach, as well as an ‘outsider’ that wrestled in high school, Smith mentions that he was blown away by how much support the wrestling program received from the community as he was moving his family into town. As he also pointed out, that kind of support has never come close to dropping off in the years since. “When I got here back in 2003, you could see how the community exploded with wrestling. Champions and repeat champions were being produced and the teams were getting better and better,” Smith said. “We had a changing of the guard, so to speak, and state titles started coming in. Then we built the wrestling room, which has been a big help to what we are doing. “More than anything though, we had some of the best families a coaching staff could want. They made sure everything that was needed for the kids was here, including some families whose kids had already graduated. As an outsider coming in, I was blown away by the bond and the pride in the program. I still am to this day, but that’s why this program is special … it’s the people.” The younger Bonecutter admits that he — like the other coaches — don’t get a lot of time to reﬂect on their accomplishments because of, say, getting ready for nationals or other offseason tournaments. As a former PPHS grappler, however, he can’t help but feel that the kids are experiencing something that will always be with them — long after their days as members of the Big Blacks wrestling program has ended. “When I brieﬂy look back on what we’ve accomplished this year and over the past 11 years, it’s just kind of overwhelming. The records, the titles, the tournaments and the competition we’ve faced, it’s truly remarkable how far we’ve come as a program,” David Bonecutter said. “I remember the things we did in high school under Coach Cullen, and how proud I still am of those things to this day … and we weren’t doing anything like we are now. I think we all take a pride in what’s happened for this program over the last decade, and it’s something we hope to continue in the years ahead.” When asked if anybody saw what was coming over the last 11 years, Ott — a ﬁnalist for assistant coach of the year in West Virginia — came up with See FAMILY | 7B �SPORTS/CLASSIFIEDS what every coach in this room has tried to do over the years. “We are constantly From page 6B trying to do anything that will make us a better program and the quickest answer of promote the sport.

NEW YORK (AP) — The NBA told its teams Friday that they should be developing processes in case it becomes necessary to play games without fans or media because of the coronavirus crisis. The league sent a memo detailing potential actions teams could need to take “if it were to become necessary to play a game with only essential staff present.” The memo, obtained by The Associated Press, says teams should identify which team and arena people would be necessary to conduct games, and be able to communicate quickly with non-essential staff, as well as ticket holders and corporate partners. Teams should also be prepared “for the possibility of implementing temperature checks on players, team staff, referees, and anyone else who is essential to conducting such a game in the team’s arena.” Bryan Walters can be reached at 740-446-2342, ext. 2101.
