Brittany S. Mullins, 22, Point Pleasant, was sentenced in the Common Pleas Court of Gallia County last week to 17 months in the Ohio Reformatory for Women for attempted burglary, a third degree felony, after she was found guilty of numerous probation violations. Mullins was originally charged after she, as well as David N. Maynard, 29, Point Pleasant, allegedly entered the home of Cory Taylor, 22, Gallipolis, on September 11, 2011, and kidnapped him. According to the original complaint filed with the Gallipolis Municipal Court, Maynard and Mullins traveled to the home of the victim, located on Bailey Street in the Kanauga-area of Gallia County, where they allegedly kicked in the front door. The victim then reportedly ran through the back door of the residence and was tackled soon thereafter by the suspects. Taylor was then allegedly placed in Mullins’ car. The complaint states that the victim was then transported back to the suspects’ apartment in Gallipolis Ferry, W.Va., and, while there, “they told [Taylor] to start making some calls and come up with the money he took from them the night before.” The victim later told investigators that, while in the apartment, the suspects tied him up by the wrists with a telephone control and was furcord. ther ordered to have Taylor reportedly no contact with Cory called his grandfather Taylor or his residence who agreed to meet Mulon Bailey Street. lins and Maynard with Maynard remains the money at a parking under the supervision lot along W.Va.

CAA emergency heating help ends March 31 Charlene Hoeflich [email protected] Submitted photos Southern FFA recently observed FFA week with several programs and events. Southern observes FFA week Sentinel Staff Report [email protected] RACINE —Members of the Southern High School FFA recently observed FFA week. Feb. 18-22 was official FFA week. Schools all over the United States participate in this event. At Southern Local, the FFA officers held many events throughout the week.

Dakota Carnahan and Jeremiah Warden were the winners of the hay bale toss contest. Also, on Tuesday, FFA members, Ohio River Producers and officers served lunch to our staff to show our appreciation in supporting our chapter. Wednesday was Drive Your Tractor to School Day and/or Wear Your Favorite Tractor Day. Thursday was Bib, Boot and Hat Day. At lunch, a tire flipping contest was held.

Information submitted by Southern FFA Historian Danielle Icenhower. CHESHIRE — The Emergency HEAP program of the Gallia-Meigs Community Action Agency will only continue through March 31. That gives residents of the two counties just a little over three weeks in which to apply, advises Sandra Edwards, CAA Emergency Services Director. She said that the agency is taking calls for appointments, although there are very few available, and noted that residents can either call or walk in to book an appointment. However, she stressed that an appointment may not extend a scheduled utility shut-off. Walkins can only be assisted on a “as times allows” basis and “worked in around appointments”, because clients with appointments have priority, she explained. Edwards said that emergency HEAP provides assistance to households that have had utilities disconnected, face the threat of disconnection or have 10 days or less supply of bulk fuel. The program allows a one-time payment of up to $175 per heating season to restore or retain home heating services for AEP and Columbia Gas and up to $450 for BREC and Knox Energy. For propane and fuel oil clients, the payment may cover up to 200 gallons for propane/bottled gas or fuel oil, not to exceed $750. Clients heating with wood or coal will be assisted up to $350 also. Homeowners or renters may qualify if their total household income is at or below 200 percent of federal poverty guidelines, she said. The income guidelines for both HEAP programs are the same. However, Regular HEAP requires the previous 12 months income while the past three months income is acceptable for Emergency HEAP. The 12-month period or three-month period for the test is determined from date of application making it possible for some with decreased income during these periods to qualify later in the program. Examples of these type situations could occur from layoff, strike, retirement, disability or death of a spouse or household member. Documentation verifying all household income must be provided when applying for HEAP. Also a copy of the applicant’s recent electric bill is required. It is also required that a birth certificate for the primary applicant be presented, along with social security cards for all household members and proof of student ID or report card if someone over 18 and living in the household. Applicants will also be asked for proof of home ownership or proof of landlord, including address and phone number, Edwards said. The following income levels by household size should be used to determine eligibility. These income guidelines represent the 200% calculation and are revised annually. Allowable annual income for a one person household is $22,340, two persons $30,260, three persons $38,180, four persons $46,100, five persons $54,020, and six persons $61,940. Households with more than six members should add an additional $7,920 to the yearly income. Both Emergency HEAP and Regular HEAP applications can be completed at all three offices; Gallia C.A.A. Office, 859 3rd Avenue, Gallipolis, Central Office, 8010 N. SR 7, Cheshire or the Meigs C.A.A. Office at 369 Powell Street, Middleport. Applications will be taken by appointment from 8:30 to 10:45 a.m. and from 1 to 3:30 p.m. For further information, contact Edwards at the Cheshire Office at 367-7341 or 992-6629. Area Agency on Aging District 7 recruiting volunteers Staff Report [email protected] RIO GRANDE — For those looking for an opportunity to make a real difference in the lives of others, the Area Agency on Aging District 7, Inc. (AAA7) might just be the right fit. AAA7 is currently recruiting area residents who may be interested in helping provide a voice for residents in long-term care nursing facilities. Through the AAA7’s Volunteer Ombudsman Program, these special helpers visit nursing home residents on a regular basis to provide them with a link to the outside world. Through these visits, Volunteer Ombudsmen help to lessen the isolation and loneliness many residents experience. Volunteers also provide an essential voice for residents, providing advocacy and assistance for those who have concerns about their care. Volunteer Ombudsmen plan their own schedules, are permitted to visit any day of the week, and are provided hands-on training and technical assistance by the AAA7’s Ombudsman Program Staff. Volunteers are recognized during an annual event and invited to various AAA7 training programs and conferences at no cost. Doug McCoard, a Volunteer Ombudsman from Pike County, who volunteers in Scioto County, does feel that he has made a difference for residents of nursing homes who are unable to speak for themselves. “What I like best about my role as a Volunteer Ombudsman is that I have the opportunity to not only speak for residents, but also provide residents with the encouragement and assistance to speak for themselves,” said McCoard. “It’s what keeps me going back every week knowing that I am providing a voice for residents who may not feel they have one.” Jackson resident Lori Michael agrees. “I am at a time in my life when I am able to give back a little bit and being a part of this program is very rewarding,” said Michael. Ronda Bivens, of Vinton County, also has great things to say about her volunteering role and the opportunity she has to help others. “I always enjoy my wise, wonderful, and thoughtful conversations with residents,” says Bivens. “Many residents are lonely and need to feel they are still valuable members of society.” “Volunteer Ombudsmen are invaluable to the AAA7 Ombudsman Program and the residents they serve,” says Kaye Inoshita, RN, Director of AAA7’s Ombudsman Program. “Through their wonderful service, volunteers provide a regular presence in our large tencounty service region while assisting with concerns regarding resident care.” If you are interested in learning more about the Volunteer Ombudsman Program at the AAA7, please contact Cindy Oakes, Volunteer Coordinator, or Kaye Inoshita, toll-free at 1-800582-7277.

WASHINGTON (AP) — A massive House Republican measure to keep the government operating would ease some of the pain of automatic spending cuts slamming the Defense Department, the nation’s senior military leaders told Congress on Tuesday. Members of the Joint Chiefs of Staff painted a dire picture of construction projects on hold, limits on aircraft carriers patrolling the waters and even a delay in the expansion of Arlington National Cemetery due to the $43 billion in across-the-board cuts that kicked in Friday. Problematic for the Pentagon has been the combination of the automatic cuts and the government still operating at last year’s spending levels. The GOP measure unveiled on Monday would give the Defense and Veterans Affairs departments soughtafter flexibility in spending that other agencies lack. The military leaders embraced that prospect, a political boost for the GOP measure just days before the House votes. “It mitigates at least one-third of our problem,” said Army Gen. Raymond Odierno, who earlier told the panel that the budget cuts and last year’s spending level had left the ser- vice with an $18 billion shortfall in operation and maintenance plus $6 billion in cuts in other programs. Adm. Jonathan Greenert, the chief of Naval Operations, said the bill would be “almost night and day,” with a shortfall of $8.6 billion in operations reduced by more than half. “We can get back to the covenant that we have with the combatant commanders to get almost all of that back,” Greenert told a House Appropriations panel. “We get two carrier overhauls. We get a carrier new construction. … We get all the military construction. Marine Corps Gen. James Amos said he was heartened by the legislation. The GOP measure would fund dayto-day federal operations through September — and avert a potential government shutdown later this month. The measure would leave in place automatic cuts of 5 percent to domestic agencies and 7.8 percent to the Pentagon ordered Friday by President Barack Obama after months of battling with Republicans over the budget. The GOP funding measure is set to advance through the House on Thursday in hopes of preventing a government shutdown when a sixmonth spending bill passed last September runs out March 27. Top Senate Republican Mitch McConnell of Kentucky said that bipartisan talks were under way on changes that the Senate would make to the House measure. He said that the House GOP leadership doesn’t expect the Senate to simply approve the House bill without changes. “There seems to be no interest on either side in having a kind of confrontational government shutdown scenario,” McConnell said. The administration weighed in Tuesday with a statement criticizing the House GOP measure for failing to provide enough money to implement Obama’s signature legislation to overhaul financial regulation and the U.S. health care system. The statement, however, did not threaten a veto. The White House said the measure “raises concerns about the government’s ability to protect consumers, avoid deep cuts in critical services that families depend on, and implement critical domestic priorities such as access to quality and affordable health care.” 60399076 Wednesday, March 6, 2013 Opinion Page 4 Wednesday, March 6, 2013 Celebrity ‘fractivists’: True Tax bills for rich families approach 30-year high advocates or NIMBYs? Stephen Ohlemacher Jennifer Peltz Kevin Begos The Associated Press NEW YORK — The scene: a Manhattan arthouse theater. The cause: a campaign against the gas drilling process known as fracking that’s being led by more than 100 celebrities, including Yoko Ono, Sean Lennon, Robert Redford, Mark Ruffalo and Mario Batali. Outside, demonstrators in hazmat suits circle the theater. Inside, actress Scarlett Johansson attends a benefit screening of “Gasland,” the documentary film that has become the movement’s manifesto. Johansson tells The Associated Press that her “Avengers” co-star Ruffalo introduced her to the cause, and that she found the film “incredibly shocking.” The campaign has galvanized hundreds of thousands of followers, but as with many activist causes, the facts can get drowned out by the glitz. Now, some experts are asking whether the celebrities are enlightened advocates or NIMBYs — crying “Not in my backyard!” — even as their privileged lives remain entwined, however ruefully, with fossil fuels. Much of the anti-fracking activism is centered in New York City, where concerts, movies and plays use huge amounts of energy, gourmet chefs including Batali cook with gas, and most people — the glitterati included — heat with gas. There’s no doubt that critics of hydraulic fracturing — a practice colloquially known as fracking that involves injecting water, sand and chemicals into underground rock to free vast reserves of gas — have some legitimate concerns. There have been documented cases of leaking gas ruining nearby well water, of air pollution and of problems from the waste the drilling generates. Experts say those are important parts of the story — but far from the whole story. “With proper regulation and enforcement, gas provides a very substantial health benefit in reducing air pollution,” compared with coal-fired power plants, said Daniel Schrag, director of Harvard University’s Center for the Environment. That is a theme not adequately covered in the debate over fracking, agreed Michael Greenstone, an environmental economics professor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and a former top adviser to the Obama administration. Greenstone is studying the local health effects of fracking, but he said it’s not scientifically accurate to ignore “the tremendous health gains” from the coalto-gas shift. “Honestly,” he said, “the environmentalists need to hear it.” The main celebrity antifracking campaign took off last summer when Ono and Lennon, her son, founded Artists Against Fracking. Their family farm sits near gas reserves in New York, and they fear fracking might be allowed in the area. Some celebrities also speak out independently, or through other groups. Among the claims: — Ono, at a news conference: “Fracking kills. And it doesn’t just kill us, it kills the land, nature and eventually the whole world.” — Robert Redford, in a radio ad: “Fracking is a bad deal for local communities. It’s been linked to drinking water contamination all across the country.

And we could be doing that in New York.” While such claims may contain a kernel of truth, they are at best subjective and at worst misleading or even hypocritical, some environmentalists say. “In truth, celebrities are rich, and they use far more energy and resources than anyone else. There’s this grass-roots NIMBY revolt against fracking,” said Michael Shellenberger, who heads the Breakthrough Institute, a nonpartisan Oakland-based environmental think tank that is releasing a report this month on the environmental benefits of natural gas. Many self-labeled “fractivists” say drilling ruins drinking water and farms — think the fictional disaster spun in the Matt Damon vehicle “Promised Land” — and makes no sense, since it’s possible to quickly transform our society to one that’s powered by clean, renewable energy such as wind and solar. Yet the boom has created jobs, reduced imports of oil and gas, and lowered energy bills. In contrast with Baldwin’s claim, local landowners have received billions of dollars in royalties, and the typical royalty of 18.75 percent is higher than what many novelists, actors or musicians are paid. Pennsylvania dairy farmer Shawn Georgetti said he was struggling before signing a gas lease. Now, he’s been able to buy better and more fuel-efficient equipment and says the drilling hasn’t caused any problems. “It’s a lot more fun to farm,” he said. The Associated Press WASHINGTON — The poor rich. With Washington gridlocked again over whether to raise their taxes, it turns out wealthy families already are paying some of their biggest federal tax bills in decades even as the rest of the population continues to pay at historically low rates. President Barack Obama and Democratic leaders in Congress say the wealthy must pay their fair share if the federal government is ever going to fix its finances and reduce the budget deficit to a manageable level. A new analysis, however, shows that average tax bills for high-income families rarely have been higher since the Congressional Budget Office began tracking the data in 1979. Middle- and low-income families aren’t paying as much as they used to. For 2013, families with incomes in the top 20 percent of the nation will pay an average of 27.2 percent of their income in federal taxes, according to projections by the Tax Policy Center, a research organization based in Washington. The top 1 percent of households, those with incomes averaging $1.4 million, will pay an average of 35.5 percent. Those tax rates, which include income, payroll, corporate and estate taxes, are among the highest since 1979. The average family in the bottom 20 percent of households won’t pay any federal taxes. Instead, many families in this group will get payments from the federal government by claiming more in credits than they owe in taxes, including payroll taxes. That will give them a negative tax rate. “My sense is that high-income people feel abused by being targeted always for more taxes,” Roberton Williams, a fellow at the Tax Policy Center, said. “You can understand why they feel that way.” Last week, Senate Democrats were unable to advance their proposal to raise taxes on some wealthy families for the second time this year as part of a package to avoid automatic spending cuts. The bill failed Thursday when Republicans blocked it. A competing Republican bill that included no tax increases also failed, and the automatic spending cuts began taking effect Friday. The issue, however, isn’t going away. Obama and Democratic leaders in Congress insist that any future deal to reduce government borrowing must include a mix of spending cuts and more tax revenue. “I am prepared to do hard things and to push my Democratic friends to do hard things,” Obama said Friday. “But what I can’t do is ask middle-class families, ask seniors, ask students to bear the entire Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

It’s not fair. It’s not right.” On Sunday, Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky said Republicans are committed to reducing the budget deficit without raising taxes again. In a separate broadcast interview, White House economic adviser Gene Sperling called that position unreasonable. The Democrats’ sequester bill included the “Buffett Rule,” named after billionaire investor Warren Buffett. It gradually would phase in a requirement that people making more than $1 million a year pay at least 30 percent of their income in federal taxes. The rule targets millionaires who make most of their money from investments — capital gains and qualified dividends, which have a top tax rate of 20 percent. “It’s fairness,” said Sen. Claire McCaskill, D-Mo. “We’re not raising taxes with the Buffett rule as much as we are correcting an inequity in terms of, one guy can be working at one end of the hall and because he’s working with hedge funds, he gets taxed at 20 percent. Another guy at the other end of the hall is on a salary at an insurance company and he has to pay (39.6 percent). That’s just not fair.” On average, households making more than $1 million this year will pay 37.2 percent of their income in federal taxes, according to the Tax Policy Center. But there are exceptions. For example, the Internal Revenue Service tracks tax returns for the 400 highestpaid filers each year. Those taxpayers made an average of $202 million in 2009, the latest year available. Their average federal income tax rate: 19.9 percent. That’s still higher than the tax rate paid by most middle-income families, but not by much. The middle 20 percent of U.S. households — those making an average of $46,600 — will pay an average of 13.8 percent of their income in federal taxes for this year, according to the Tax Policy Center. Over the past three decades, the average federal tax rate for this group has been about 16 percent. The Associated Press analyzed two sets of data to compare tax burdens over time. The CBO produces data from 1979 to 2009; the center has overlapping data from 2004 through 2013. Both get tax data from the IRS, but they use slightly different methodologies to calculate federal tax burdens. Still, their numbers track closely enough to make some general observations. For example, it is clear that for 2013, average tax bills for the wealthy will be among the highest since 1979. It also is clear that federal taxes for middleand low-income households will stay well below their averages for the same period.

Joiner was named Mid-South Conference Freshman of the Year, while also being named to the All-MSC Second Team during last Thursday’s annual awards banquet prior to the start of the MSC Tournament. Joiner led a trio of RedStorm players recognized by the league for their performances both on the court and in the classroom. Sophomore guards Travis Elliott and Evan Legg both were among those who received Academic All-MSC honors. Both teams were named prior to the start of the MSC Tournament at the league’s annual awards banquet in Frankfort, Ky. “It’s always good when you have individuals honored for their accomplishments,” said Rio Grande head coach Ken French. “D.D. Joiner more than earned the Freshman of the Year and there were some good freshmen in the league. The awards that Travis and Evan received - that’s why they’re here. They take being a student-athlete very seriously and I’m proud of them both. They work hard in the classroom and on the court.” Joiner led the RedStorm in scoring at 15.3 points per game, including a career-high 42 points in a double overtime win at the University of the Cumberlands. The 42-point outing ranked as the top single-game performance in the conference this season and tied fourth-highest single-game total in NAIA Division I this season. Joiner, a native of Columbus, Ohio, appeared in 28 games for Rio, including 24 starts, and also averaged 4.6 rebounds per contest. He connected on 45.7 percent of his overall field goal attempts (164-for-359), while shooting 32.7 percent from three-point range (48-for-147) and 76.1 percent from the free throw line (51-for-67). Joiner becomes Rio’s second straight Freshman of the Year selection. Legg grabbed the honor last season. “D.D. was probably our most consistent player and he’s got a chance to have a great career here,” French said. “He’s one the pillars that we’re trying to build a foundation with. We’ve had the Freshman of the Year for two straight years now and we’re getting better. We’re taking small steps, but we’re getting better. I think he was worthy of the first team, but we needed to have a little more team success for that to happen. Still, to be Second Team as freshman in our league is huge.” The 10-player all-conference first team was comprised of the University of Pikeville’s Jamar See JOINER | 6 Submitted photo Gallia Academy sophomore Cole Tawney, middle, is flanked by assistant coach Daniel Tench, left, and GAHS head coach Scott Stanley, right, at the top of Value City Arena last weekend during the 2013 OHSAA Wrestling Championships held at the Jerome Schottenstein Center on the campus of the Ohio State University in Columbus, Ohio. Tawney finishes fifth at state wrestling tournament Bryan Walters [email protected] COLUMBUS, Ohio — The tradition continues … and so does the history. The Gallia Academy wrestling program scored at least one point for a fourth consecutive postseason while earning its fourth podium finish in four years this past weekend at the 2013 OHSAA Division II Wrestling Championships held at the Jerome Schottenstein Center on the campus of the Ohio State University in Franklin County. The Blue Devils received an historic effort from first-time state qualifier Cole Tawney, who became the youngest grappler in school history to both win a match and also place within his weight class. Tawney — who finished the Thursday, Friday and Saturday sessions with a 4-2 overall mark — placed fifth overall as a sophomore in the 120-pound division. Tawney — who qualified for state by placing fourth at the Goshen district meet — lasted only 24 seconds in his opening match on Thursday after being by pinned by eventual state runner-up Joey Miller of Carrollton. Tawney, however, regained his composure in the consolation round, winning three straight matches to secure a spot in the top-eight of the 120-pound weight class. Those trio of wins included a pinfall win (4:11) over C.J. Ball of Rossford, a 7-2 decision over Lyle Plummer of Dayton Chaminade-Julienne, and a 9-2 decision over Jerad Patterson of Byesville Meadowbrook. Tawney suffered a 17-2 technical fall to eventual thirdplace finisher Brent Moore of St. Paris Graham in a consolation semifinal Saturday morning, but ultimately closed his weekend with a pinfall victory (1:39) over Conner Nemec of Mantua Crestwood. The triumph over Nemec allowed Tawney to secure fifth place overall, and also allowed the sophomore to join Jeptha Robinson (1988), Jared Gravely (2010), Brandon Taylor (2012) and Zack Tackett (2012) as the only podium finishers in Blue Devil history. Tawney — who joined Ben Doolittle (2002) as the only GAHS sophomores to ever qualify for state — also became just the ninth Blue Devil to advance past the district level while becoming the only underclassman to ever place at the state tournament. Tawney — who finishes the 2012-13 campaign with a 42-6 overall mark — scored 12 points for the Blue Devils, allowing GAHS to finish in a three-way tie for 41st with both Parma Padua Franciscan and Springfield Northwestern. His dozen points are also the second-best total ever produced by an individual grappler from GAHS, with Taylor setting the record last season with 18 points and a school-best third place finish. As the sophomore reflected on his three-day weekend in Columbus, he couldn’t help but feel a sense of achievement. He also noted that it was very educational experience.

The Eastern boys basketball team led by five points with a minute remaining in Monday night’s district semi-final at the Convocation Center on the campus of Ohio University. Portsmouth Notre Dame outscored the Eagles 8-to-2 over the final 60 seconds of play to take the 43-42 victory. The Eagles (9-15) were bitten by the turnover bug early, which allowed Notre Dame (20-3) to jump out to a 12-to-10 advantage at the end of the first period. The Titans controlled the glass in the second stanza and expanded their lead to 20-16 at halftime. NDHS scored the opening two points of the second half but the Green and White rallied with a 12-0 run to take the lead. Each team added four more points in the third period and the Eagles led 32-26 with eight minutes remaining. Notre Dame cut the EHS lead to three points early in the fourth but the Eagles stretched it out to 40-35 with one minute remaining in the game. An old-fashioned three-point play by Adam Cooper cut the EHS lead to two points at the 35 second mark but Kirk Pullins sank a pair of free-throws to push their lead back to four just a second later. A three pointer by Cooper at the 26 second mark put the Titans within one point.

Lindsey Wilson improved to 12-5 overall and 4-1 in the MSC with the wins. Rio Grande fell to 10-9 overall and 1-4 in league play. The RedStorm trailed 5-3 going to the ninth inning of the opener, but managed to make the Blue Raiders sweat out a major Rio scoring threat. Sophomore Isac Franklin struck out to open the ninth against Lindsey Wilson starter Chris Erker, but reached safely thanks to a passed ball by catcher Trey Davis. After sophomore Kyle Findley narrowly missed tying the game with a flyout to deep right-center, sophomore Grant Tamane singled and junior pinchhitter Andy Mitroff greeted reliever Daniel Pulliam with a grounder to shortstop that was bobbled for an error to load the bases. Sophomore pinch-hitter Tyler Donaldson was hit by a pitch to force in a run, but the game ended moments later in bizarre fashion when, on the same play, Tamane was picked off third and Mitroff was caught stealing when senior Kyle Perez failed to make contact with the ball on a squeeze bunt attempt. The RedStorm took a 1-0 lead in the first inning on the fifth home run of the season by senior Shane Spies, but the Blue Raiders tied it in the second when Mitchell Osnowitz led off with a solo home run against Rio senior starter Ryan Robertson. Rio went back in front in the third on a sacrifice fly by freshman Chris Ford before Lindsey Wilson grabbed the lead for good in the fifth as a result of a twoout, three-run home run by Jeff Kerian. A throwing error by the Blue Raiders – one of five LWC miscues in game one – allowed Rio Grande to get within 4-3 in the sixth inning, but an RBI single by Michael Rosario in the seventh gave Lindsey Wilson a 5-3 lead and set up the nail-biting finish. Tamane had two of Rio’s six hits in the loss, including a double, while Robertson (2-2) allowed 13 hits and five runs – four earned – in a route-going performance on the hill. Manuel Alonso went 4-for-4 and Leandro Perez had three hits for the Blue Raiders, while Kerian and Rosario had two hits each. Erker improved to 4-0 with the win, while Pulliam earned his first save. In game two, Lindsey Wilson pushed across a run in the second on a hit by Rosario and added a two-run single by Kerian in the fourth but had to endure some tense moments in the Rio seventh to complete the sweep. Donaldson led off the Rio seventh with a pinch-hit bunt single and sophomore Luke Taylor (Pedro, OH) followed with a double down the left field line to bring the potential tying run to the plate. Perez then struck out looking before Ford plated Donaldson with a sacrifice fly to center to make it 3-1. The comeback – and the game – ended moments later when Tamane grounded out to shortstop. Tamane finished with two hits in the loss, while freshman Kyle Miller suffered his first loss of the season in four decisions. The left-hander allowed 10 hits and three runs – all earned – while walking one and striking out three. Davis went 3-for-3 for LWC, while Kerian and Jeandro Andino had two hits each. Darren Travers (4-0) went the distance to get the win for the Blue Raiders. In addition to the eight hits, he did not walk a batter and struck out five. Rio Grande is scheduled to return to action on Tuesday in a non-conference twinbill at Glenville State College. First pitch for Game 1 is set for 1 p.m. The RedStorm swept a doubleheader from the Pioneers last Thursday in Chillicothe.

Rose and Haynes were named to the All-MSC First Team, while Rose and Sizemore were named Academic All-MSC selections. Rio Grande cheerleading trio honored Randy Payton Special to OVP LOUISVILLE, Ky. — Three University of Rio Grande cheerleaders were among those recognized by the Mid-South Conference over the weekend for their performances both on the court and in the classroom. Sophomore Gwendolyn Rose (Leesburg, OH) was named to both the All-MSC First Team and the Academic All-MSC Team, while senior Kiah Haynes (Little Hocking, OH) joined Rose on the All-MSC First Team and junior Shelby Sizemore (Stoutsville, OH) was also an Academic All-MSC selection. Both teams were named prior to last Thursday’s Mid-South Conference cheer championships at Paul Laurence Dunbar High School in Lexington, Ky. Joining Rose and Haynes on the 12-member All-MSC First team were sophomore Ashley Bates and junior Audrey Wunderlich of Campbellsville; Brittany Bostic and Jacob Cody Hurst of Cumberlands; Georgetown seniors Jaime Horne and Maura Shirley; Lindsey Wilson junior Madeline Hutcherson and senior Erica Finley; sophomore Jaimie Ward and senior Taylor Stone of the University of Pikeville. Pikeville won its first MSC team championship, while Campbellsville finished as the runner-up and Lindsey Wilson took third place. Ward was named the league’s Cheerleader of the Year, while UPike’s Jeannie Stone was named Coach of the Year and Campbellsville junior Alexa Moore was the conference Champions of Character Award recipient. Rose and Sizemore were among 40 student-athletes recognized with Academic All-MSC honors. In order to be nominated by an institution, the student-athlete must have a minimum grade point average of 3.25 on a 4.00 scale and must be at least a sophomore in academic status. Campbellsville, Lindsey Wilson and Pikeville shared top honors with seven selections each to the team.

Briscoe was named the league’s Player of the Year, while Lindsey Wilson head coach Paul Peck was the league’s Coach of the Year Shawnee State’s Tyler Boyles was the MSC Champions of Character Award winner. The awards were selected through balloting of the league’s head coaches, who were not allowed to vote for their own players or themselves. Elliott and Legg were among 22 student-athletes recognized with Academic All-MSC honors. In order to be nominated by an institution, the student-athlete must have a minimum grade point average of 3.25 on a 4.00 scale and must be at least a sophomore in academic status. Cumberland University’s seven honorees represented the highest total of any single school on the list. Eagles From Page 5 committed a foul on Kevin Lewis. The foul was charged to Max Carnahan and it was his fifth. Lewis sank both free throws and took the 43-42 victory. “What we just did right there was amazing, playing the number one team in our bracket and we out played them for 31 minutes and about 30 seconds,” said second year Eagles coach Corey Britton. “What we did out there was flat out amazing and I couldn’t be happier or more proud of our kids, we just didn’t finish. There’s no being upset, we did everything we were supposed to do except win that basketball game.” The Eagles had just three players score in the game, led by Pullins with 17. Carnahan marked 14 for EHS, while Chase Cook added 11 to round out the scoring column. Pullins also led the Eagles on the glass with eight rebounds, followed by Carnahan with five. Carnahan led the Eagles in assists with six and steals with four. “He’s a heck of a player that Carnahan,” Notre Dame coach Matt Mader said. “We knew that we were going to have our hands full with him. It’s his vision, he sees the floor and makes everybody around him better.” As a team Eastern had 30 rebounds, nine assists and six steals. The Eagles committed 17 turnovers and 11 fouls. Carnahan was the lone Eagle to foul out. EHS shot 3-of-4 (75 percent) from the free throw line and 18-of-43 (41.9 percent) from the field, including 3-of-11 (27.3 percent) from beyond the arc. Carnahan accounted for two EHS triples, while Cook had the other. “From what we’ve seen they (Eastern) did what they normally do,” said Mader. “They did some things that gave us problems with their physicality and their length. We didn’t shoot well outside or finish well in the paint but we were able to claw and grind it out.” Notre Dame was led by Ogg with 14 points and Cooper with 10. J.P. Kay- ser marked nine points, while Lewis added eight and Michael Mader finished with two. Ogg and Lewis led the Titans with eight rebounds apiece. As a team NDHS finished with 36 rebounds, 13 turnovers and 11 team fouls. The Titans shot 5-of7 (71.4 percent) from the line and 18-of-58 (31 percent) from the field, including 2-of-17 (11. 8 percent) from three-point range. “I couldn’t have asked for a better group of seniors they are absolutely amazing,” said Britton. “When I took this job there wasn’t a whole lot of promise and those seniors have carried us for two straight years. It just absolutely brings tears to my eyes to see them go.” This marks the final game for Eastern seniors Max Carnahan, Zakk Heaton, Kirk Pullins and Troy Gantt. “At one point we were 3-12 this year. The seniors and upperclassmen decided they wanted a different season,” added Britton. “They wanted a different legacy and we will see 2013 for a long time on that sectional championship banner.” Tawney From Page 5 “It was a really great weekend for me because I wasn’t really sure how well I would do, especially after losing that first match the way I did,” Tawney said. “I ended up fighting my way back through the consolation round with three straight wins and ultimately made it to the podium, and it even ended with a pinfall win. “I got to stand on the podium with some great wrestlers like Nathan Tomasello, a four-time state champ. It was a great eyeopener for the next few years of my career.” A total of 85 programs scored at least one point at the state meet, and Gallia Academy was the highest finisher from the southeast Ohio sectionals. St. Paris Graham won the Division II team title with 155.5 points, while Perry was the D-2 runnerup with 87.5 points. Just four years ago, Gallia Academy had only four wrestlers that had ever made it to state — and only one that had ever placed. Those numbers have now more than doubled, proving that the Blue Devils are starting to become more than your average wrestling program. “It’s another great end to another great season for us,” GAHS first-year head coach Scott Stanley said. “We are kind of building a tradition, at least I feel, in going to state. We are getting kids there and they are performing well enough to place, so now we are starting to look at some higher goals. “I’m hoping that our success of late will be noticed by the younger guys and we can con- tinue to go back even stronger. We are hoping to get even more people to Columbus next season.” Tawney — a two-time sectional champion at 120 pounds — plans on being part of the crew that returns to the state tournament next season. He also plans on using some of the knowledge he picked up this weekend to get back to Value City Arena. “I learned some good lessons this weekend,” Tawney said. “I know that I need to keep working harder than everyone else to get back to where I was, and I learned what I need to do to improve on getting better for the years ahead.” Tawney is also a two-time Southeastern Ohio Athletic League champion at 120 pounds. Stanley believes that success is contagious, and he notes that part of Tawney’s accomplishments this weekend come from how the program has fared over the past few years. He also hopes that someone else will step up next year just like Cole did this winter. “The younger guys have seen how hard Cole works, and how hard people like Brandon Taylor and Zack Tackett and Matt Watts and Jared Gravely worked when they were here. They also see where that hard work got them,” Stanley said. “Stuff like this weekend pushes the other kids harder, and they start striving to be that next wrestler at Gallia Academy to make it to state. “We’re really building a good tradition here, and I’m really looking forward to the next couple of years.” With his sophomore season complete, Tawney was finally able to reflect on his stellar 2013 campaign. As happy as he is with the way the weekend turned out, he is still not satisfied with what he’s accomplished. “It’s kind of cool being the only sophomore from Gallia Academy to ever place or even win a match at the state tournament,” Tawney said. “It’s a pretty big show up there, and there are a lot of talented guys. It let’s me know I have some talent and it let’s me know what I need to do to improve.

You genuinely have a great deal of compassion for people in general. You also express an intensity that is unique to you. If you are single, you have the opportunity to meet someone quite special anytime from this summer on. If you are attached, the two of you will fulfill a long-term dream or desire. You also might opt to socialize more. CAPRICORN can be a loyal friend. The Stars Show the Kind of Day You’ll Have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult ARIES (March 21-April 19) HHHH Take charge if you want to maintain some form of control. Many different factors are at work here. Listen to different perspectives, and your openness will help make minds meet. Others might express their relief to find agreement. Tonight: Burn the candle at both ends. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHHH Recognize your limits. Honor what is happening between you and someone else. Laughter comes through at the strangest moments. A change of plans becomes possible more than a few times. Someone can’t seem to make up his or her mind. Tonight: Let your imagination lead. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHHH You could see a matter very differently from how you did in the past. A partner might be trying to make an adjustment right now. Welcome this attitude, and work with this person. The outcome will be more trust. Tonight: Togetherness works, though a discussion could get heated. CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHH Defer to others. Your sense of humor emerges when you’re an observer. Be smart, and realize that your perspective might not be welcomed. A loved one could be quite serious, and he or she will be offended if you are not sympathetic. Tonight: Go along with someone’s ideas. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHHH If you want to do something different, do it; however, know that you will have to convince an associate that this is OK. Revitalizing or transforming an area of your daily life could make a big difference. Listen to what is being shared. Tonight: Get into the moment. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHHH Understand that your ingenuity will be needed to combine various ideas from different people, all of whom believe they are right. This collaboration depends on your ability to see where there is a common thread. Have a serious discussion. Tonight: Put on your dancing shoes. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHHH Listen to a friend you identify with. This person might be transforming in front of your eyes. Know your limits here and honor them. Realize what is going on between the two of you. If you can get past your control issues, you’ll be on cruise control. Tonight: Love the moment. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHHH Understand the viability of a change in your thought process and your actions. If you keep hitting a dead end, a change of direction certainly seems more than appropriate. Resist rigidity Give a new outlook a chance, and you just might like how you feel. Tonight: Hang out. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HH You might need to be more grounded than others. Let go of trying to make everyone more aware, and simply take care of the matter at hand. Your sense of humor comes through in a big way. You know what works. Watch as others grasp at some wild ideas. Tonight: Off shopping. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHHH You might be clear and direct, but others aren’t right now. You might need to revise your plans. Fatigue marks a never-ending conversation. Be willing to change your responses, and see what happens. The situation might flow better than you think. Tonight: Your treat. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHH You could decide to go on a brief vacation as you look around and see what is going on. You want to be centered and remain detached. Realize your liabilities and keep smiling. The less said, the better. Tonight: Early to bed. Get a good night’s sleep. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHHHH Zero in on what you want rather than what you think you need to do. If you are not true to yourself, you could have difficulties. Friends change their tune quickly, which increases your level of anxiety. Don’t criticize others’ opinions. Tonight: Where your friends are.
