The plaque is given to an individual or group who helps to improve life in Middleport. Community Association honored By Lindsay Kriz lkriz@civitasmedia.com MIDDLEPORT — At their recent banquet, the Middleport Police Department and Police Chief Bruce Swift presented their annual Community Service Award to a group well known in the community: the Middleport Community Association. While the group originally began decades ago as the Middleport Merchants Association, it eventually expanded to become the group it is today. Swift said the award, which has been handed out since 2012, is given to an individual or group who selflessly give back to their riverside community. And MCA, he said, does just that. “They’ve worked hard and long hours to try to improve things here in Middleport,” he said. “Like Lunch Along the River, going to fund the Fourth of July and Christmas celebrations, you always see them out doing something. Whether it’s cleaning in the downtown area or decorating, they’re always doing something that doesn’t benefit any of them other than it improves the community, and they’ve been doing it for a long time.” Three individuals also received the honor the department: Cathy Erwin, Linda Myers and Ron Miller. The current group who volunteer with the association say they Courtesy photo An up-close look at the plaque received by the association. Courtesy photo came aboard about 2008.

The event is open and free to all members of the public. It will run from 2 to 4 p.m. Megan Wise, a native of Gallipolis who has family in Mason County, W.Va. and is a firstgrade teacher at Meigs Primary School in Pomeroy, took the title of Miss Ohio USA in midNovember 2015. According to Debbie Saunders, director of Bossard Memorial Library, Wise places a heavy emphasis on literacy and reading for her students, as well as those of all ages. “People can expect a traditional afternoon tea,” Saunders said. “This was such a good pairing for the library because Megan Wise, as a Gallia County resident, is a teacher and has a love of literacy and reading and sharing of knowledge. It’s a perfect pairing that we have someone in this position that can be an ambassador for that. We want to celebrate what she’s accomplished while promoting reading and literacy.” Saunders said that they are prepared to serve all ages. Some of the younger attendees may not like tea, so hot chocolate and punch will also be available. “People can dress for the tea in a little bit fancier attire, if they’d like,” Saunders said. “However, we don’t want that to be a deterrent to someone who’d like to attend, so it isn’t necessary. We are going to turn our Riverside Room into a winter wonderland. It will be a very winter-esque theme.” Saunders said that attendants will hear a brief history of traditional tea-drinking practices, as well as table etiquette during such events. “We’ll bring Megan Wise to the stage during the event,” Saunders said. “She’s actually going to do two readings for us — two winter selections. I think no matter what age, everyone loves to read to and that never really goes away.” Saunders said Wise would share “The Mitten” by Jan Brett and “Sneezy the Snowman” by Maureen Wright.

RACINE — The Southern Local School District has established a “Southern Local School District Hall of Fame,” an entity to recognize graduates, employees, and major contributors who have distinguished themselves at a high level in the areas of scholarship, athletics, career, community service and/or society as a whole. The Southern Local Board of Education approved this distinction at its initial business meeting earlier this week. “This is not just an athletic Hall of Fame, it is a Hall of Fame for the entire realm of everything that happens good at Southern Local,” Superintendent Tony Deem said. “The positive that an individual has had on the district, and the positive that the district has had on the individual. “This includes, doctors, lawyers, teachers and anyone else who has attained success and influenced others. It may very well include those involved in athletics, but certainly is not limited to that.” The submission of a name for consideration will be made in one of six categories — Medicine and Science, Business and Professional, Arts and Entertainment, Arts and Entertainment, Humanitarian and Service, Athletics and Lifetime Recognition. “Selected Hall of Fame members will demonstrate the positive impact to the schools of Southern Local and on the positive impact these nominees have had on individuals from the Southern community,” See NOMS | 6A �LOCAL/STATE 2A Friday, January 8, 2016 OBITUARIES Daily Sentinel DEATH NOTICES KENNETH “KENNY” IMBODEN MIDDLEPORT — Kenneth “Kenny” Imboden, 83, of Middleport, passed away Wednesday, Jan 6, 2016, at his residence.

OHIO STATE BRIEF Columbus police hope signs curb panhandling on exit ramps COLUMBUS (AP) — Police in Ohio’s capital are hoping panhandlers who seek donations from drivers at freeway exits will be deterred by some new signs placed in targeted locations that note panhandling is prohibited in such areas. Authorities say it’s a safety concern for both the pedestrians and motorists in Columbus. New signs have appeared around the city over the last few weeks at exit ramps. The signs say panhandling is illegal citywide, but officials say the effort targets freeway exit ramps. Police requested the city install them to help prevent crashes and because they say panhandlers living under an Interstate 670 bridge have caused trash to pile up.

The spine-chilling polar vortex is taking center stage in Europe and bringing persistent cold to much of North America — except in Hollywood, where soggy El Nino won’t give up the spotlight. After El Nino delivered a balmy Christmas Eve to the eastern U.S. and shattered national records with a warm, wet and wild December, Minnesota may host one of the coldest NFL playoff games in history this Sunday, with wind chills around 20 below, meteorologists predict. “The biggest thing is this whiplash,” said University of Oklahoma meteorology professor Jason Furtado. “It’s going to be a shock for people.” The center of the cold blast starts this weekend in the U.S. in the upper Midwest, and then moves to the Hudson Bay area next week, while in Europe it starts in the east and north and then spreads, Furtado said. Europe may have to get used to temperatures 20 or so degrees below normal. “Temperature will be dominated by the impact of the polar vortex,” said Judah Cohen, seasonal forecast chief for the private Atmospheric and Environmental Research company outside Boston. It will feel similar to 2013 and 2014, he said. Americans became painfully familiar with the polar vortex during those winters. This time, America’s winter temperatures will depend on when the wet and warm El Nino pushes itself back to prominence, Furtado said. “We have all of these large and unusual events happening all at the same time and I don’t think it has ever happened before,” said Rutgers University climate scientist Jennifer Francis. For a winter this dramatic, it may help to consult the program: THE CAST The star is El Nino, a veteran of this stage for a few decades now. This natural warming of the central tropical Pacific occurs every two to seven years or so, and changes weather worldwide, especially in the Americas and Asia. It is closely associated with heavy rain in California, and general warming. It has less effect in Europe because that’s further away. With its flipside, La Nina, it is known as the El Nino Southern Oscillation, and it lasts about a year. Playing off against El Nino is the Arctic Oscillation, and its index measures differences in atmospheric pressure between the Arctic and mid-latitudes. When the AO is positive in the winter, polar air stays trapped up north and the weather is relatively mild further south. When the AO is negative, the cold Arctic air escapes and plunges into lower latitudes, treating the United States and Europe to the polar vortex — a swirling air mass that carries spine-chilling temperatures. The North Atlantic Oscillation is a bit player with a big influence over Europe’s weather. As with its Arctic cousin, the more negative its index, the colder the continent becomes. The jet streams also are important to watch. These rivers of air heavily influence local weather everywhere, carrying storms and clearing skies around the planet. Usually in the winter, the jet stream that affects most people in the United States and Europe moves relatively straight from west to east. But when it weakens, it can plunge south and north and even get stuck at times, creating odd extremes. Markell DeLoatch/Public Opinion via AP Jerry Clark buys Powerball lotter tickets Thursday at Bill’s Kwik Chek in Chambersburg, Pa. The estimated prize for this weekend’s Powerball drawing has grown to about $700 million, making it the largest lottery jackpot in U.S. history. Few ways to improve your odds By Scott McFetridge Associated Press DES MOINES, Iowa — The record-breaking $700 million Powerball jackpot is the stuff of dreams, but it all boils down to math. From the huge prize to the enormous odds against winning it, Saturday night’s drawing is a numbers game that gives players good reason to brush up on their algebra, maybe as they stand in line to buy a ticket. A look at some of the statistics: WHEN WILL SOMEONE WIN? No one has won the Powerball jackpot since early November, which is why the prize has grown so large. The bigger prize entices more people to buy tickets, and that drives up the jackpot. The increased ticket sales also make it more likely there will be a winner, simply because all those extra tickets mean more number combinations are covered. DOES MATH OFFER ANY HINTS TO IMPROVE THE ODDS? Scott A. Norris, an assistant professor of mathematics at Southern Methodist University, said there’s no trick to playing the lottery, but your tiny odds of winning are a bit better if you let the computer pick rather than choosing yourself. That’s because when people use birthdates or other favorite figures, they generally choose numbers 31 or below. That ignores the fact that there are 69 numbered balls. If you have extra cash and are thinking of buying all possible number combinations, that is allowed, but it wouldn’t be very smart. At $2 a ticket, the strategy would cost about $584 million, and when taxes are subtracted, you’d end up losing money. And if someone else had the winning numbers, you’d need to split the prize. You’d make back some of that money by smaller prizes paid for matching three, four or five of the balls plus the Powerball, but chances are it still wouldn’t be a good bet. WHAT TO DO WITH THE WINNINGS Despite the odds, someone will eventually win the prize. What then? Is it better to take the money as an annuity or in cash? Olivia S. Mitchell, a professor of Insurance and risk management at the Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania, said to avoid the risk of overspending or an investment mishap, a safe option would be to take the annuity, guarTHE ODDS anteeing a huge annual payout for Ticket holders have a 1 in 292.2 HOW MUCH DOES BUYING three decades. million chance of winning.

Alabama chief justice denies defying US Supreme Court Associated Press MONTGOMERY, Ala. — Alabama Chief Justice Roy Moore stood firm Thursday in his position that the state’s probate judges should not issue marriage licenses to gay couples, a stance he insisted is not in defiance of the U.S. Supreme Court ruling last summer that effectively legalized gay marriage nationwide. Moore’s remarks in an interview with The Associated Press came after two U.S. prosecutors issued a statement saying the probate judges need to obey the nation’s highest court, not the state’s highest justice. Some of the judges who stopped issuing licenses Wednesday following Moore’s administrative order resumed the service Thursday after consulting with county attorneys. In his interview with the AP, Moore reiterated remarks first laid out in his order: that the Alabama Supreme Court has not lifted a March 3 order against issuing licenses to gay couples. He said it’s up to the state court to decide what to do with that order following the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision. “Probate judges should be following the orders of the Alabama Supreme Court, the highest state authority. If that state authority does find that (the U.S. Supreme Court decision) does have an effect on their order, they will remove the injunction. If they do not, I guess the injunction will continue,” Moore said. Moore said he sent his order because probate judges were confused about what to do. Two federal prosecutors in Alabama, however, said Wednesday night that there should be no confusion, because the U.S. Supreme Court ruling trumps whatever the state court has to say on gay marriage. U.S. Attorneys Joyce White Vance of the Northern District of Alabama and Kenyen Brown of the Southern District of Alabama issued a statement saying they had “grave concerns” about Moore’s administrative order. Some probate judges who had stopped issuing all marriage licenses in response to Moore’s order Wednesday said Thursday they had resumed the service after consulting with attorneys. “We’re back to our normal issuance just like we had been before yesterday,” said Lawrence County Probate Judge Michael Praytor, adding that license operations had only been suspended for about three hours after the order was issued Wednesday afternoon. Praytor said the Association of County Commissions of Alabama, which provides his office’s insurance, emailed him to give guidance on how to resolve the issue. He said the ACCA cited opinions from federal officials and a representative of the University of Alabama’s school of law in the guidance his office was given. “It was basically the same thing that they had before when the (U.S. Supreme Court) ruling came down,” Praytor said. Officials in Madison County said they also had resumed issuing licenses. Mobile County said licensing operations were still suspended. Moore is a historically controversial figure in Alabama who was once removed from judicial office for refusing to follow a federal judge’s order to remove a Ten Commandment’s monument from the state judicial building. He also has been an outspoken critic of gay marriage, once predicting in a campaign speech that it would be the ultimate destruction of the country. He declined to say during Thursday’s interview, however, what the Alabama Supreme Court should decide when reviewing the U.S. court’s ruling. 60576582 By Kim Chandler and Phillip Lucas Check out the five-day forecast on the weather page or online at Mydailytribune.com Mydailyregister.com Mydailysentinel.com brought to you by Let’s Talk About Your GOALS www.fbsc.com 740-992-2136 �FAITH & FAMILY 4A Friday, January 8, 2016 Scratching those itching ears What do you look for in a preacher? Many desire someone that will appeal to them emotionally. Others want an erudite man, who can wax eloquent. Still others look for one who shouts, or one who doesn’t shout, or maybe one who makes them laugh. The criteria by which people judge a gospel minister is varied, and it is impossible to please everyone, though there are many who shape their preaching according to what they think will appeal to the broadest audience. The apostle Paul, guided by the Spirit of God, admonished the preacher Timothy not to give in to such temptations and instead follow a different path. He wrote, saying; “I charge you therefore before God and the Lord Jesus Christ, who will judge the living and the dead at His appearing and His kingdom: Preach the word! … For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine, but according to their own desires, because they have itching ears, they will heap up for themselves teachers; and they will turn their ears away from the truth, and be turned aside to fables.” (2 Timothy4:1-2a, 3-4; NKJV) Paul himself, elsewhere indicated that he took this advice to heart in his own ministry to the Lord. He reminded the Corinthians of his work among them nature of their spirisaying, “And I, tual problem.

The Jews of that generation weren’t going to be satisfied with either one, though both were sent by God. (cf. Matthew 11:1619) There is a criterion by which preaching should be judged, but it’s not the criteria most often used: does the man preach the truth of the Gospel of Christ, or is he preaching some other doctrine. If it is true, then the manner of its presentation is a minor issue. If it is not true, then no matter how pleasingly it is presented, its nothing but lipstick on a pig. The warning to Timothy was that itching ears would turn men away from the truth. Elsewhere God warns us that judgment comes upon those that did not receive the love of the truth. (cf. 2 Thessalonians 2:10) Preachers need to be careful not to cater to itching ears. All of us need to guard against the temptation to have our itching ears scratched, knowing that such temptation only leads away from the truth that saves men souls. The church of Christ invites you to worship and study with us. We won’t try to scratch your ears, but we will seek to study the truth with you.

She lived for good. The prime example of being known best for doing good for the sakes of others is Jesus Christ. His othersemphasizing love for people makes Him so awe-inspiring. People have certainly heard about the good done by Jesus Christ. People have seen the good difference the Lord has made in the lives of many people. Yet, so many disparage the good Lord. So many criticize His spiritual principles to live by that are for our good. So many reject His divine plan of salvation through His redemptive work on the Cross and His Resurrection that stand for our eternal good. Government officials hate Him because Christians tend to depend on Him rather than on them. The social elitists hate Him because Christ mandates adherence to absolute truth rather than to socially relevant truths. Common people more and more during these days hate Him because they cannot stand conviction and opposition to personal, evil lifestyles. It absolutely does not make sense that people reject so hard the One that does the most good for people. In the meantime, the good that people do reflects the good Lord and His goodness. Let others hear about you and know about you on that point. Uplift the Lord by it, not that other person. The Rev. Ron Branch is pastor of Faith Baptist Church in Mason, W.Va. Daily Sentinel Don’t be hurt by broken promises Given the grim realities that are facing Americans today, one might be led to believe that he or she is not so much living in the “land of promise” but in the “land of broken promises” instead. Consider the various “promises” that flood us from all sorts of sources in the world. Such promises tell you that if you look a certain way or you do a certain deed or you have a certain thing then you will A Hunger be loved. They tell you that if you try your best and work your hardFor More est, then you will be known for your Thom achievements, you will prosper in Mollohan your lifestyle, and you will be liked by everyone else. Well, if we stop for a moment and look carefully around us, we will see that investing our time, our minds, and even our souls in such pursuits invariably ends with us still unappreciated, under compensated, and somehow still unloved. But then, if one thinks about it a little bit, that is really how it has to be. We are, after all, created to NEED God. If “things” too easily satisfied our souls’ deepest cravings, then we would continue on our merry ways, heedless that we were settling for cheap counterfeits when the “real thing” was right there all along in front of us. Oh, I realize that some will never lift their eyes above the busyness of everyday life and may continue along in life tragically cheating the Lord of the devotion to Him for which He created us but also shortchanging themselves of the possibilities that only the love of our infinite and eternal God can bring to them. Have you been bruised by broken promises? Have you fallen victim to the vain voices of competing philosophies of our contemporary culture? Have your dreams diminished to nothing as disappointment and disillusionment take up their permanent residency in your heart? If any of these things are true of you, then now is the time to let go of such fruitless hopes and turn to the One Who keeps His promises. And even if you have not yet reached the end of your rope, then now is the time to change course before you crash and burn. “In hope he (Abraham) believed against hope, that he should become the father of many nations, as he had been told, ‘So shall your offspring be’… No distrust made him waver concerning the promise of God, but he grew strong in his faith as he gave glory to God, fully convinced that God was able to do what He had promised” (Romans 4:18, 20-21 ESV). The fact is that God has the power to keep His promises. Nothing else in the world can give us such certainty for even with good intentions (and that is assuming a lot for most people today who make promises), circumstances frequently arise that make mincemeat of the promises that have been made. Only almighty God is immune to the effect of circumstance for He is Lord of all things and “works all things together for good, for those who are called according to His purpose” (Romans 8:28). And just what has He promised you anyway? He promises hope no matter what our economy is like and no matter what illness may be afflicting you. He promises love if you’ll genuinely open yourself up to His love by letting go of sin and selfishness which are always trying to crowd out God’s best for you. He promises peace in spite of the swirling storms of turmoil that surround you. God is immutable: He never changes and cannot be made to change by whim or worry of human heart, by wave or wind of worldly woes, nor by the slow progression of the passing of time. The same certainty that anchored Abraham to the living Rock of God, can anchor us to Him as well. That anchor is faith in the Lord. Frankly, you and I need to cling to such a rock of hope, securing the “anchors” of our confidence to such a certainty. Jobs may be lost, health may fail, relationships may be broken, and dreams may die, but when He is our hope, we will always have something to live for, and possess a dream that cannot be taken away.

Even though the holiday is over, Christmas remains It has been more than a week since we were celebrating, opening gifts, and eating a huge Christmas dinner. What is left of the Christmas celebration? A trash bag full of used wrapping paper and empty boxes? The Christmas tree and all the decorations have been taken down and stored in the attic for another year. Christmas is over and our lives have returned to normal. It is back to work for the adults and back to school for the children. Yes, Christmas is over — at least for another year. Wait! Is it really over? Is that all there is to Christmas?

Visit a church of your choice this Sunday! What did you get for Christmas? No doubt you received some toys and clothes, but the most important gift any of us received was Jesus who came to earth as a gift from God. To those who receive Him and believe in His name, He gave the right to become the children of God. Did you even realize that you and I are children of God? Jesus came to the world, but many did not recognize Him then or now, as well. For those who do not know the Savior, Christmas is over. But for those of us who received the gift from the Father, Christmas goes on all year long. Let’s pray to God. Heavenly Father, we thank You for Your love and for the gift of Your Son because it is through that gift that we also become Your children. In Jesus’ name we pray. Amen.

But you might not need to worry quite as much about eggs. The Obama administration’s latest dietary guidelines, released Thursday, seek to help Americans reduce their likelihood of disease and obesity through a more healthful diet. The newest guidance comes down hard on sugar that’s added to food and drinks but says lean meat is a healthy protein and more eggs may be OK, despite years of advice to the contrary. Released every five years, the guidelines inform everything from food package labels to subsidized school lunches to your doctor’s advice. And the main message hasn’t changed much over time: Eat your fruits and vegetables. Whole grains and seafood, too. And keep sugar, fats and salt in moderation. The government says people should figure out what healthy eating style works for them while still hewing to the main recommendations. The Agriculture Department, which released the guidelines along with the Department of Health and Human Services, is also putting out a tweaked version of its healthy “My Plate” icon to include a new slogan: “My Wins.” “Small changes can add up to big differences,” said Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack. amounts of meat, eggs and poultry, while women are more in line with advised amounts. Dr. Richard Wender of the American Cancer Society said the report ignores extensive science on a link between cancer and diet. “By omitting specific diet recommendations, such as eating less red and processed meat, these guidelines miss a critical and significant opportunity to reduce suffering and death from cancer,” Wender said. Curbing America’s sugar appetite New U.S. dietary guidelines recommend limiting intake of added sugars to no more than 10 percent of total calories. Average added sugar intake as a percentage of total diet: Female Male 20 percent 17 17 17 17 15 15 15 15 Recommended maximum: 10% 16 13 14 11 11 CUT OUT THE SUGARY SODAS One new recommendation is that added sugar should be no more than 10 percent of daily calories. That’s about 200 calories a day, around the amount in one 16-ounce sugary drink. The recommendation is part of a larger push to help consumers isolate added sugars from naturally occurring ones like those in fruit and milk. According to the guidelines, sugary drinks comprise 47 percent of the added sugars that Americans drink and eat every day. 12 12 51-70 '71+ 10 5 0 1-3 4-8 9-13 14-18 19-30 31-50 Age in years Sources of added sugars for U.S. population ages 2 and up: Grains 8 Beverages 47%* Dairy 4 Snacks/Sweets 31 0 TOO MUCH SALT Americans also need to lower salt intake, the government says. New figures from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention show around 90 percent of people eat too much. The average person eats 3,400 milligrams of sodium a day, and the guidelines say everyone should lower that to 2,300, or about a teaspoon. Lowering sodium intake was the LEAN MEAT IS OK major push of the 2010 guidelines, and After a significant backlash from the that document recommended that those meat industry and Congress, the admin- most at risk of heart disease, or about istration ignored several suggestions half the population, lower their intake from a government advisory panel. to 1,500 mg.

That recommendation is gone, following increasing medical research showing the amount of cholesterol in your bloodstream is more complicated than once thought. Several more recent studies have shown little relationship between heart disease and dietary cholesterol, focusing more on the kinds of fats consumed. Still, egg lovers aren’t completely off the hook. Discussion of cholesterol deeper into the document says “individuals should eat as little dietary cholesterol as possible while consuming a healthy eating pattern.” FOOD POLITICS While the guidelines always have 100 AP been subject to intense lobbying by food industries, this year’s version set off unprecedented political debate, fueled by Republicans’ claims the administration has gone too far in telling people what to eat. Congress got involved, successfully encouraging the administration to drop the recommendations based on environmental impact but unsuccessfully proposing to set new standards for the science the guidelines can use. “It’s clear to me and my colleagues that the administration wisely listened to the science and dismissed the interests of political activists,” said Alabama Rep. Robert Aderholt, the Republican chairman of the subcommittee that oversees Agriculture Department spending.

See RIO | 4B For Ohio Valley Publishing Al Behrman | AP Former Cincinnati Reds center fielder Ken Griffey Jr. gets emotional as he speaks during ceremonies inducting him into the Reds Hall of Fame, Saturday, Aug. 9, 2014, in Cincinnati. Griffey elected with highest percentage NEW YORK (AP) — Ken Griffey Jr. was considered Mr. Clean during 22 years in the major leagues, untainted by accusations of drug use as he climbed the home-run list during the height of the Steroids Era. He nearly made a clean sweep in Hall of Fame voting. Griffey received 437 of 440 votes in his first appearance on the Baseball Writers’ Association of America ballot, a record 99.3 percent. “It’s real simple,” he explained after Wednesday’s announcement. “I’ve always said that I’ve got to look my kids in the eyes and you want to play fair.” Mike Piazza, the top offensive catcher in baseball history, was elected, too, and will be inducted along with Griffey in Cooperstown on July 24. Among the many muscled sluggers whose accomplishments were questioned during a time when chemists preyed on club- houses, Piazza was made to wait until his fourth appearance on the ballot. After falling 28 votes shy last year, he was selected on 365 (83 percent). He wouldn’t say whether he was upset about being sullied by suspicions. “That’s the freedom we have,” Piazza maintained. “You can say these things, and that’s the country we live in.” Griffey topped the previous high percentage of 98.84, set when Tom Seaver appeared on 425 of 430 ballots in 1992. The identities of the three writers who did not vote for Griffey was not immediately known. “I can’t be upset,” he said. “It’s just an honor to be elected, and to have the highest percentage is definitely a shock.” A player needs to appear on 75 percent of ballots to gain election. Jeff Bagwell missed by 15 votes and Tim Raines by 23. Trevor Hoffman, second on the career saves list and appearing on the ballot for the first time, was 34 short. Total ballots dropped by 109 from last year after writers who have not been active for 10 years were eliminated under a rules change by the Hall’s board of directors. With a younger average electorate, Roger Clemens rose to 45 percent and Barry Bonds to 44 percent, both up from about 37 percent last year. Clemens has denied using performance-enhancing drugs, and Bonds said he never knowingly took any banned substances. “They were Hall of Famers before all this stuff started,” Griffey said. Mark McGwire, who admitted using steroids, received 12 percent in his 10th and final ballot appearance. Half of baseball’s top 10 home run hitters are not in the Hall: Bonds (762), Alex Rodriguez (654), Jim Thome (612), Sammy Sosa (609) and McGwire (583). Rodriguez, who served a yearlong drug suspension in 2014, remains active. Thome’s first appearance on the ballot will be in 2018. Griffey believes drugtesting, which began in baseball in 2003, should eliminate the possibility of stigma for the current generation of players. “There won’t be any questions and you’ll know from here on out,” he said. Some players who admitted using steroids claimed they chose the needle because of pressure to compete. Griffey said he never was tempted. “I also had a dad that said you’re never going to be the biggest, you’re never going to be the strongest and you’re never going to be the fastest,” he said. “There’s always going to be someone in each of those categories, but the one thing they can’t do is outwork you.” See GRIFFEY | 4B �SPORTS 2B Friday, January 8, 2016 Daily Sentinel OVP SPORTS BRIEFS Mason County youth wrestling signups POINT PLEASANT, W.Va. — Mason County Youth Wrestling signups will be held on three different dates from 6-7:30 p.m. at the Hartley Wrestling Building behind Point Pleasant Junior-Senior High School.

(AP) — West Virginia running back Wendell Smallwood has announced on Twitter that he’s skipping his senior season to enter the NFL draft. The Big 12 rushing champion is the second Moun- WASHINGTON (AP) — LeBron James had a special fan in Washington on Wednesday night watching the Cleveland Cavaliers’ victory over the Wizards. Five-year-old Leah Still, whose battle with cancer won her the 2015 ESPY Award for perseverance, attended the game wearing James’ No. 23 jersey. After scoring 34 points and grabbing 10 rebounds in Cleveland’s 121-115 victory over Washington, James said Still’s presence “absolutely” provided some extra motivation. “Her and Zhuri, my baby girl, are my two favorite women in the world,” James said. “I know my mom and my wife will be a little bit jealous, but they’ve got to take a back seat to those two.” James and Still, the daughter of NFL defensive end Devon Still, have had an ongoing friendship since the pair first met last season at another game. Earlier Monday, Devon Still signed a contract with the Houston Texans for next season after he was cut by Cincinnati last September. The Bengals had kept him on in 2014 in part so he’d have health insurance to cover her treatments. Scans this summer found no trace of cancer, but Leah has been undergoing treatment to help rebuild and immune system that was destroyed by chemotherapy. Manziel cited for expired license plates Frank Victores | AP Cincinnati Bengals quarterback AJ McCarron (5) speaks with quarterback Andy Dalton, right, before an NFL football game against the Baltimore Ravens on Sunday in Cincinnati. Bengals leaning on defense in playoffs CINCINNATI (AP) — An inexperienced quarterback’s biggest ally is a stingy defense. The Bengals know it. AJ McCarron will make only his fourth career start on Saturday night when the AFC North champions host the Pittsburgh Steelers. No quarterback with so little experience has won an NFL playoff game since the 1979 season, when Gifford Nielsen led the Houston Oilers over the Chargers. The subtext to that one: Houston’s defense picked off Dan Fouts five times to set up the win. The Bengals (12-4) would like to do something similar to ease the pressure on McCarron. Cincinnati set a club record for fewest points allowed and led the AFC. Now it’s time to get really stingy. “We just have to shorten the field and try to get some turnovers so we can put our offense in good positions to score points,” defensive coordinator Paul Guenther said. The Bengals gave up a lot of yards and big plays this season, but were tough near the end zone. Cincinnati was 11th in yards allowed, but gave up only 279 points, second-fewest in the NFL. Seattle allowed 277. In their two games against the Steelers (10-6), the Bengals limited Ben Roethlisberger and Antonio Brown. The Bengals picked off Roethlisberger three times during a 16-10 win in Pittsburgh on Nov. 1, Big Ben’s first game back from a knee injury. Brown, who set club records with 136 catches for 1,834 yards during the season, was limited to six catches for 47 yards. Brown had seven catches for 87 yards in the Steelers’ 33-20 win at Paul Brown Stadium on Dec. 13, when Bengals quarterback Andy Dalton broke his passing thumb. McCarron replaced him in the first half and threw one interception that was returned for a touchdown and another that set up a touchdown. The Bengals have contained Brown by disrupting his routes as he leaves the line, preventing him from turning a well-timed catch into a big play. “It isn’t about the schemes,” cornerback Dre Kirkpatrick said. “It’s about going out there and playing with the bigger heart. You know he has a great heart. He’s a great competitor. We have to go out there and compete better than him.” Cincinnati’s defense can get pressure on Roethlisberger from up the middle or around the corners. End Carlos Dunlap had a careerhigh 13½ sacks, while tackle Geno Atkins had 11. Safety Reggie Nelson tied for the league lead with eight interceptions — he’s had six in his past seven games against Roethlisberger. The Bengals have handled Pittsburgh’s third-ranked offense by limiting the big plays. Roethlisberger’s longest completion in the first game went for only 25 yards. In the second game, it was 31. “That’s the game,” Bengals defensive backs coach Vance Joseph said. “It won’t come down to whether we can we force four, five turnovers. It’s going to come down to not giving up big plays. Without big plays, you keep the scoring down.” CLEVELAND (AP) — Johnny Manziel’s troubles keep piling up. The embattled Browns quarterback was cited for driving with expired license plates last weekend, when he failed to report to the team’s facility for a medical assessment and was seen having some fun in Las Vegas. According to police in North Olmsted, Ohio, Manziel was stopped at 8:28 a.m. Saturday while driving on Interstate 480. Police gave him a traffic ticket for the expired plates, an offense that carries a $125 fine. It’s the latest issue with the 23-year-old, whose future in Cleveland is uncertain at best following a second straight problematic season. Manziel was in the NFL’s concussion protocol last week after the team said he got hurt in a Dec. 27 game at Kansas City. He wasn’t required to be at Cleveland’s season finale Sunday because of the head injury, but owner Jimmy Haslam said Manziel failed to report to the team’s facility for a required medical assessment. For several hours Sunday, the Browns weren’t certain of Manziel’s whereabouts and couldn’t confirm if he was in Vegas. He did return to Berea, Ohio, on Monday and was in attendance for team meetings when Haslam addressed the players following the firings of coach Mike Pettine and general manager Ray Farmer. Manziel did not come into the locker room to speak with the media. Haslam refused to comment on Manziel’s outlook with the Browns, who selected him with a first-round draft pick in 2014 and have remained supportive of him during two turbulent seasons. Manziel spent 73 days in a rehab facility during the offseason for an unspecified condition. The Browns have seemingly grown tired of Manziel’s act. During a news conference following Sunday’s 28-12 loss to Pittsburgh, Haslam was short with his responses to questions about Manziel. Haslam said any decisions about his prospects will be handled by the next coaching staff, newly appointed executive vice president of football operations Sashi Brown and the new general manager. Haslam did say Manziel would have to meet certain unspecified conditions to stay with the Browns. “I think we will expect that of everybody,” he said. “We certainly expect that of Johnny, too.” Adding to Manziel’s issues, Cavaliers star LeBron James ended his business partnership with him Wednesday. James’ marketing group, LRMR, had been handling endorsement opportunities for the 2012 Heisman Trophy winner. LeBron James’ marketing group cuts ties with Johnny Manziel CLEVELAND (AP) — LeBron James has dropped Johnny Manziel as a business client. A spokesman for James said the NBA star and has ended his marketing agreement with Manziel, the embattled Browns quarterback whose behavior has him on very shaky ground Do we have your attention now? Advertise your business in this space, or bigger Call us at: 740.992.2155 with his team and Cleveland fans. James and his associates at LRMR — longtime friends Maverick Carter, Rich Paul and Randy Mims — will no longer be working with Manziel after mutually agreeing to end their partnership. LRMR has been handling endorsement deals for Manziel since he got drafted into the NFL. Cleveland.com first reported the end of James’ ties to Manziel, who missed Cleveland’s season finale Sunday after he was spotted partying in Las Vegas over the weekend. Browns owner Jimmy Haslam said the 23-year-old Manziel missed a medical treatment as part of a mandatory concussion protocol he’s following. Manziel was back at the team’s facility Monday for exit meetings, but he did not speak with the media. Carter told Cleveland. com that the decision to end the business relationship was due partly so Manziel could focus on his personal life. “I will continue to support and advise him as a friend,” Carter said. “However, because Johnny needs to focus on personal growth, the next phase of his career and because LRMR continues to expand beyond marketing, we made the mutual decision that it was best to terminate our business relationship.” Earlier on Wednesday in Washington, D.C., James expressed concern “individually” for Manziel, who spent 10 weeks during the offseason in a Pennsylvania rehab facil- ity specializing in alcohol and substance abuse. James didn’t know the details of Manziel’s latest escapades, but believes the QB would be better served focusing on other things. “I’ve heard a little bit of it and it’s just a distraction for not only himself but for everyone that’s around him, including family, people that represent him, the people around him,” James said. “He’ll figure it out at some point — we all hope.” James has referred to Manziel as “family” in the past. When Manziel was a rookie, James brought his sons to one of Cleveland’s training camp practices. Manziel has attended numerous Cavaliers home games in Cleveland, often sitting courtside next to Carter or Paul. �SPORTS Daily Sentinel Friday, January 8, 2016 3B James, Irving lead Cavs to 5th straight victory WASHINGTON (AP) — While the Washington Wizards try to promote John Wall’s case for the NBA All-Star Game, Kyrie Irving put on a show to illustrate why the Cleveland Cavaliers think he should get the nod. Irving scored 21 of his season-best 32 points in the fourth quarter of the Cavaliers’ fifth straight victory, 121-115 at the Washington Wizards on Wednesday night. While LeBron James had 34 points, Irving scored 10 points in a row in the fourth quarter and showed no ill effects from the injury that ended his 2015 playoffs and postponed his season debut until mid-December. Despite playing in just seven games this season, Irving looks like an All-Star to James. “At the end of the day, it doesn’t matter how many games, he’s an All-Star player,” James said. “He’s much more than just an all-star. He’s much better than that. He’s 23 years old, and he hasn’t even scratched the surface yet. Irving had a 25-point game Monday night at home against Toronto, and it looks as if he’s in midseason form. “Those are two pretty big performances after being out for so long,” Cleveland coach David Blatt said. “It’s only Help Wanted General Alex Brandon | AP Cleveland Cavaliers forward LeBron James hangs from the rim after dunking in front of Washington Wizards forward Otto Porter Jr. (22), center Marcin Gortat (13) and guard Garrett Temple (17) during the second half of an NBA basketball game Wednesday in Washington.

Irving then reeled off 10 consecutive points while the Cavaliers’ defense got some timely stops. His fourth-quarter performance certainly caught the attention of his teammates, who see how much Irving is best offensive performances of the season, but their defensive letdowns proved frustrating. “We did a bad job of knowing personnel in certain spots of who we wanted to shoot the ball,” Wizards forward Jared Dudley said. “I thought we scored enough to win the game. … Overall, not enough stops to win.” James hit 3-pointers on four of five possessions, and the lead got to 18 at one point. But the Wizards came back enough to put a scare into the Eastern Conference-leading Cavs. “Isn’t that the beautiful thing about NBA basketball? An 18-point lead can go away in the drop of the hat, because the other guy’s good and Washington was good tonight,” Blatt said. “That wasn’t an easy game.” Except Irving made it look easy. Still, he understands this is still a process of getting back into form. “The first few games were just being able to solidify myself back in the league and being an elite athlete and get around guards,” Irving said. “That was the hump I needed to get over, and now I think I’m starting to get over it going from game to game going against great matchups, great players every single night, great teams.” 3 BR, 1 bath home $700 mo call 740-446-3644 for application Land (Acreage) 40 Acres on Redmond Ridge.

(AP) — Run up the middle against Alabama and you’re likely to be greeted by powerful big men like A’Shawn Robinson and Jarran Reed. Drop back to pass, and there’s a fair chance explosive pass rushers such as Jonathan Allen and Tim Williams will be in hot pursuit. The most impressive part of the second-ranked Crimson Tide’s formidable defense has been a front line that is both deep and diverse, even by ‘Bama standards. The line thoroughly controlled Michigan State in a 38-0 semifinal thrashing, smothering quarterback Connor Cook and clamping down on the run. Doing the same against Clemson and dualthreat quarterback Deshaun Watson in the national championship game Monday night in Glendale, Arizona, will be easily the biggest test of all for that group. However, Watson & Co. haven’t faced a bigger challenge either. “They’re by far clearly the best that we’ve seen,” Tigers coach Dabo Swinney said. “I mean, they’re as good as it gets in the country, No. 1 in about everything defensively, but the biggest thing is they just have great depth in their defensive line. I mean, they roll them guys in there, play a lot of guys, a bunch of subs, and they all play at a really, really high level. That’s why they’re a great team.” Sure, the Tide offense has quarterback Jake Coker, Heisman Trophy winner Derrick Henry and wide receiver Calvin Ridley. Defensive backs Eddie Jackson and Cyrus Jones also have had terrific seasons. No part of the team has been more pivotal to the Tide’s success than a front seven that starts with Robinson and Reed, backed up by linebackers Reggie Ragland, Reuben Foster and Williams. Robinson, Reed and Ragland are projected as likely first-round NFL draft picks. “We’ve never had one this deep,” Alabama defensive coordinator Kirby Smart said of the front line. “This group is pretty deep. They can roll in and out and not drop off a lot. They take pride in that.” Alabama leads the nation in run and scoring defense and sacks, and is second in total defense. No Nick Saban defense has averaged this many sacks (3.57 a game) since his 1999 Michigan State team anchored by Julian Peterson (3.73 per game). This one has done it with an array of stars, personalities and diverse talents: —THE RUN STOPPERS: Reed and Robinson are both 6-foot-4 and listed at a shade under 315 pounds. Reed has 56 tackles, almost all against the run. Robinson is a consensus All-American and Outland Trophy finalist who also is a strong pass rusher. Teammates say he’s a freakish athlete, as evidenced by his hurdle of LSU’s line to block an extra point attempt. —THE PASS RUSHERS: Allen and Williams are the headliners. Allen has 12 sacks, including two against Michigan State. Williams is listed as a linebacker but his primary job this season is clear: Get the quarterback. Williams has 19 tackles — and 10.5 sacks. “Tim’s probably one of the most unique guys on the team,” Alabama tight end O.J. Howard said. “His pass rushing skills are probably, I think, the best out of everybody. Fast, hard to block, so quick, kind of small but I mean he’s just very different from a lot of people, man.” THE BAKCUPS: This group includes former five-star signees Daron Payne and Da’Shawn Hand, along with guys like Dalvin Tomlinson and D.J. Pettway. The makeup of the defensive line has changed since Barrett Jones was playing offensive line for the Tide, practicing against the likes of Marcel Dareus and big Terrence “Mount” Cody earlier in the Saban era. It’s built just fine to stop runners like LSU’s Leonard Fournette (31 yards, 19 carries) and passers like Cook, adapting to the increasingly prevalent spread offenses without sacrificing too much beef. “It’s a testament to coach Saban of how he’s understood that he needs to adapt, and the times of being 360-pound noseguards, those guys aren’t going to play as much because of the kind of spread that teams are playing,” said Jones, who was part of three Alabama national championship teams. “You need those pass rusher guys. He’s adapted, and this is a great example of that. “Just having first of all a depth that I’ve never seen on any defensive line in college. Just full of guys that can both rush the passer and stop the run, who obviously work together as a unit in a way that we haven’t seen in a long time.” Daily Sentinel Rio From Page 1B Olivet Nazarene (Ill.) (7-5) had the biggest drop in the Top 25, as it fell nine positions from No. 8 to No. 17. Bellevue (Neb.) (12-7) plunged eight spots to No. 21. Two KIAC teams - WVU Tech (No. 19) and Indiana East (No. 25) - were Griffey From Page 1B “I never really worried about what somebody else was doing, because it was out of my control,” he added. “I was already popular. It wasn’t that I needed to jump out and surprise people.” Griffey and Piazza had contrasting treks to stardom. Griffey was selected first in the 1987 amateur draft and became the first No. 1 to make the Hall. Piazza was taken by the Los Angeles Dodgers with the 1,390th pick on the 62nd round in 1988; since the draft started in 1965, the lowest draft pick elected to the Hall had been John Smoltz, taken with selection 574 on the 22nd round in 1985. “It crystalizes how special this game is,” Piazza said. “It separates it from other sports. Athletic talent definitely helps, but it’s not the only thing that can make you successful.” Griffey was known simply as “Junior” by many as a contrast to his father, three-time All-Star outfielder Ken Griffey, who played alongside him in Seattle during 1990 and ‘91. The younger Griffey became a among the five teams who dropped out of the Top 25. The others were College of Idaho (No. 18), Rochester (Mich.) (No. 21) and Cal Maritime (No. 23). Eleven of the 12 conferences/Association of Independent Institutions are represented in the Top 25. The Crossroads League and Wolverine-Hoosier Athletic Conference lead all leagues with four teams represented. 13-time All-Star outfielder and finished with 630 homers, sixth on the career list. After reaching the major leagues in 1989, he was selected for 11 consecutive All-Star Games in 1990. Wanting to play closer to his home in Florida, he pushed for a trade to Cincinnati — his father’s old team and the area he grew up in— after the 1999 season. But slowed by injuries, he never reached 100 RBIs again after his first season with the Reds, and he moved on to the Chicago White Sox in 2008 before spending his last season-plus with the Mariners. Griffey is likely to become the first player in the Hall with a Mariners cap. He wouldn’t say whether his bronze plaque should portray the look he’s most known for. “I haven’t really thought about the hat backwards,” he said. Piazza said he was directed not to speak about the hat on his plaque, which ultimately is decided by the Hall. After reaching the major leagues with the Los Angeles Dodgers in 1992, Piazza was dealt to Florida in May 1998 before he could become a free agent, then traded eight days later to the Mets. He played for the Mets’ 2000 National League champions and remained with New York through 2005, hitting a memorable go-ahead home run in the first game in the city following the 2001 terrorist attacks. During a career that ended with San Diego in 2006 and Oakland the following year, he hit better than .300 in nine straight seasons and finishing with 427 home runs, including a record 396 when he was in the game behind the plate. A 12-time All-Star, Piazza had a .308 career batting average. While 6-foot-3, Piazza claims to not have a distinctive athletic body. “When you see a basketball guy out there or a football guy, you kind of know it,” he said. “And baseball guys, I think that’s why the public relates to us.” NOTES: Alan Trammell received 41 percent in his final ballot appearance. … Curt Schilling rose from 39 percent to 52, Edgar Martinez from 27 percent to 43 and Mike Mussina from 25 percent to 43. … There were two writein votes for Pete Rose, who never was allowed on any Hall ballot because of his lifetime ban from baseball.
