According to the National Weather Service, roughly 11.5 inches of snow fell in Point Pleasant, W.Va., 10 inches fell in Rio Grande and 9.5 inches fell in Meigs County near Dyesville. The lock master at the Racine Locks and Dam reported 10 inches of snow Sunday morning. According to Gallia County Engineer Brett Boothe, about noon Friday, Gallia County trucks started plowing county roads. The trucks focused on plowing hard-road surfaces. Saturday, workers started early after working late Friday night. Hard surface roads were plowed out and a contractor signed with the engineer’s office was assigned to help run a grader over county gravel roads. Most gravel roads were graded Saturday. Trucks started treating roads afterwards. Boothe said by Sunday afternoon everything had been plowed again and treated. On roads like Jackson Pike, the engineer’s office treats it with straight salt. On other county roads, trucks will use four tons of cinder to one ton of salt. On chip and seal roads, trucks use straight cinders. When asked what cinders are, Boothe replied it was a form of ash. According to him, when sunlight shines on cinders, the ash collects more heat, much like a black T-shirt in the summer, and this quickens the melting process. Boothe said Gallia County will use roughly 1,000 tons of salt in an average winter and around 8,000 to 10,000 tons of cinder. Gallia County has roughly 450 miles of county road to plow and treat and 360 miles of township road, according to its engineer. Around 14 trucks ran 14 plowing routes with four graders skimming gravel roads and one wrecker to pull county vehicles out of poor road conditions. Boothe said workers ran roughly 16- to 18-hour shifts while aiming for eight hours of rest between tasks. “We were lucky that this was a dry snow,” Boothe said. “If we had a wet snow, it would not have been as easy to shovel out a driveway. When you have a wet snow, if you had a lot of inches, it would be really hard on our trucks — even these big trucks — to push that snow. When you push snow that heavy, wet snow, you have trucks that will get overheated and you’ll have to stop. Wet snow also might have brought trees and power lines down and made it almost impossible to plow roads out and treat them. We’d still be fighting that out (Monday).” According to Meigs County Board of Commissioners president Randy Smith, everyone worked together during the snow storm as a team, and should be commended for their efforts. He said he speaks for everyone when he says that it takes a team and Meigs has the best one around. “We can’t say enough about County Engineer Gene Triplett and his staff at the County Highway Department, the township trustees and their staff, and the staff at the county ODOT garage. Everyone was very prepared and took care of our highways and roadways quickly.” Smith said.

Tuesday, January 26, 2016 s 50¢ Resident stuck on highway Stranded for 21 hours By Lindsay Kriz lkriz@civitasmedia.com MIDDLEPORT — For Andrew Johnson, 18, of Middleport, his trip to Washington, D.C., was initially supposed to be a two-day trip in which he, other members of Sacred Heart Catholic Church, and other local Catholics in the region, rallied during a Pro-Life walk through the nation’s capital. And while the trip to D.C. on Jan. 21 and the march itself went according to plan, Winter Storm Jonas had different plans for the return home. “It didn’t cross any of our minds to cancel the walk (because of weather),” he said. “We just took it as, ‘We better start this walk soon and head out as soon as it’s done.’” In fact, Andrew said the bus went through Pennsylvania on the way back from the march to avoid some of Jonas’ wrath. Instead, the bus on which Johnson was riding found itself stuck on the Pennsylvania Turnpike for about 21 hours. “We stopped moving at about 5:30 p.m. Friday and started moving again about 2:30 p.m. Saturday,” he said. Andrew said that everyone was fine for the most part, although snack portions began to run low as many had been eaten on the way to D.C., and what snacks were left were typically given to the younger marchers in the group.

Teresa Johnson and Dispatcher Danny Davis have been named EMT/Medic of the Year and Dispatcher of the Year. The pair found out last week from Robbie Jacks, director of Meigs County EMS/911.

Davis began as a volunteer in 1987 and became an official fulltime employee in 1994. Neither of them plan on retiring anytime soon, and say they’ll be in Meigs County the rest of their lives. The pair both said their interest in their current field began at a young age. Both Davis’ mother and father were involved in EMS, Lindsay Kriz | Daily Sentinel Robbie Jacks, left, said whenever he needs help he can turn to Lt.

The state Environmental Protection Agency issued an emergency order Monday forbidding James Bates from working at the Sebring village water treatment plant and informing him that the agency intends to revoke his operating license for endangering the public and for submitting “misleading, inaccurate or false reports.” Ohio EPA Director Craig Butler said he asked the U.S. EPA to open a criminal investigation of what occurred in Sebring, a village about 60 miles southeast of Cleveland. The Youngstown Vindicator reported Monday that Bates has been placed on administrative leave. Bates declined to comment when reached at home. Butler said his agency was “too patient” in pushing for public notification about potential lead hazards after testing found high levels at a handful of older homes starting in June. “We should have had this elevated for immediate action sooner,” Butler said. “Our number one priority is protecting the public health.” Water systems are required by federal rules to notify the public when high levels of lead are found. It wasn’t until Thursday that Sebring village manager Richard Giroux issued a public notice that children and pregnant women should avoid drinking Sebring’s water. The school district canceled classes Friday and again on Monday. Testing over the weekend found one drinking fountain at the district’s school buildings with lead levels that exceed EPA standards. Messages left for Giroux weren’t returned Monday. The Sebring water system serves 8,100 homes and businesses in three Mahoning County communities. The Ohio EPA has ordered the village to maintain its advisory concerning the health risks of lead to children and pregnant women for a minimum of a year. Correspondence released Sunday by the Ohio EPA showed that it had been asking Bates for months when he would alert the public. The issue in Sebring comes at a time when problems in Flint, Michigan, have grabbed national headlines. Operators at Flint’s water treatment plant failed to treat water to make it less corrosive and caused high levels of lead in tap water throughout the city. Sebring’s issue is similar, but on a vastly smaller scale. The water at Sebring’s plant and distribution system is considered safe. Giroux said on Friday that pipes in seven of 20 older homes tested had high levels of lead and copper because slightly acidic water caused pipes to leach the metals. The state sent 150 pallets of bottled water to Sebring, provided the Mahoning County Health Department with lead testing kits and will establish a screening clinic at an elementary school. Volunteers handed out bottled water over the weekend. Donna Jean Freeman, of Sebring, said Monday that she and her husband are senior citizens and aren’t worried about lead, but added that they installed filters 20 years ago because of the water tasted “funny.” “The water in Sebring is not that hot anyway, but that’s beside the point,” Freeman said. NEWS FROM AROUND THE BUCKEYE STATE Ex-chief who called criminals ‘mopes’ convicted of 4 charges RAVENNA, Ohio (AP) — A former small-town Ohio police chief who developed an outsize Facebook following for blunt, humorous commentary about the criminals he calls “mopes” has been convicted of four misdemeanors. A Portage County judge on Monday told former Brimfield Township chief David Oliver he’s become a mope himself. Oliver was visibly reluctant as he pleaded no contest to counts including attempted theft in office and simple assault involving a female officer who accused him of sexual harassment. Oliver was sentenced to pay court costs and surrender his certificate to be an officer. His attorney blamed small-town politics and said Oliver entered the pleas to get his family closure. The female officer recounted her allegations and told the judge that coming forward cost her more than it has Oliver. Her lawsuit is pending. Parking tickets down in Columbus, city stands to make more COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — A newspaper says Ohio’s capital city last year issued its lowest number of parking tickets in at least six years. But The Columbus Dispatch reports Columbus will take in more money in fines than it has since 2012 because the city council raised the cost of most parking tickets by $5 last year. Officials said the increase was needed to put Columbus fines in line with those of other cities and help support the city’s 2015 general fund budget. The newspaper reports that officers wrote about 15,000 less tickets last year. That’s down more than 10 percent from the previous year. Ticket revenue rose by more than 5 percent to about $5.5 million. A Department of Public Service official says they believe people are learning how to avoid tickets.

The state average was $1.56, according to Monday’s survey from auto club AAA, the Oil Price Information Service and WEX Inc. That’s about 13 cents less than a week ago and about 36 cents less than this time last month. A year ago at this time, the average was $1.90. Ohio’s prices are still running way below the national average, which was about $1.83 on Monday. That’s down from $1.89 a week ago and $2.04 a year ago. Gas prices are expected to remain relatively low because there is more than enough oil and gasoline around the world to meet demand. Pump prices also typically fall during winter months due to reduced demand.

According to Vice President Biden, who lost his son Beau to brain cancer, quite a lot. In telling the country he wouldn’t run for president. Mr. Biden pledged to push for a moonshot program to cure cancer because, he said, there’s nothing more important. Unfortunately, a small group of doctors is trying to undermine such efforts. In JAMA Oncology, some oncologists are encouraging health insurers to adopt “value-based” pricing, in which drugs are priced based on how long they extend the average patient’s life. The physicians say an experimental, advanced-stage lung cancer drug isn’t worth more than $7,800 because it extends average life expectancy by “only” 1.6 months. Robert While the value-based approach Goldberg might sound compelling in theory, it Contributing would ultimately hurt patients and Columnist undermine Vice President Biden’s goal to find a cure for cancer. For starters, the value-based approach belittles the importance of extra life. Even if a medicine offers every patient only the average life expectancy gain, each patient will value that gain differently. Some terminally ill patients, faced with the prospect of physically taxing end-of-life treatment, will decline further medication. Others might want to continue treatment to maximize time left with loved ones. Ultimately, each patient must make that choice for herself. Under this value-based approach, however, insurers would impose their priorities on their patients. Secondly, there’s no such thing as an “average” patient. Patients’ responses to treatment vary due to different genes, different health histories, and simple luck. A drug that holds cancer at bay for a few weeks for most could send the disease into total remission for others. Many patients who, on paper, should be dead in months go on to live for years thanks to medicines that rank poorly on a value-based framework. The JAMA Oncology doctors claim that a valuebased framework will steer innovators to make revolutionary breakthroughs. Big, new products will be allowed to come with huge price tags, bringing big market rewards. However, those for smaller treatment improvements will be small. This claim misunderstands the nature of drug innovation. Breakthroughs take years – or even decades – of improvements based on real world patient experiences. Take HIV/AIDS drugs. It took 30 years of small innovations such as combination products that worked faster and with fewer side effects. A value framework discounts not only these advances but the first HIV medicines. Measuring value in terms of average survival deliberately ignores these cumulative increases in longevity that lead to a cure. Each successful medicine doesn’t just recoup development costs; they cover the cost of failure as well as future research. If the value framework were in place there’d be less progress. Millions would have been denied life. Indeed, other countries have embraced valuebased frameworks with poor results. In England, Canada and elsewhere where it’s used, people die sooner with more pain. President John F. Kennedy once proclaimed: “We choose to go to the moon in this decade and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard, because that goal will serve to organize and measure the best of our energies” Those are the values Vice President Biden embraced in his recent speech. He’s aiming for the moon in the fight against cancer. So far, an open, competitive pricing system has helped inch us closer to a true cure for this disease. How sad that doctors are now peddling a pricing framework that will undercut this progress. Robert Goldberg is vice president of the Center for Medicine in the Public Interest.

Back when the snows were deeper and the winter’s longer, Pam and I would round-up the neighborhood kids and trounce off for what seemed like a mile hike to “Thomas’s Mountain.” The hill was actually only a block away, but it was our Alps, complete with snow-covered chalets where neighbors from Maple to River streets gathered for the warm cider and the com- pany as much as for the Mom would be home thrill of descent. reading with a A spackling of meat loaf and brightly-colored cream pie in the coats and tobogoven.

Today’s Highlight in History: On Jan. 26, 1915, President Woodrow Wilson signed the Rocky Mountain National Park Act, which created America’s 10th national park. On this date: In 1784, in a letter to his daughter Sarah, Benjamin Franklin expressed unhappiness over the choice of the bald eagle as the symbol of America, and stated his own preference: the turkey. In 1788, the first European settlers in Australia, led by Capt. Arthur Phillip, landed in present-day Sydney. In 1837, Michigan became the 26th state. In 1870, Virginia rejoined the Union. In 1925, actor Paul Newman was born in Shaker Heights, Ohio. In 1939, during the Spanish Civil War, rebel forces led by Gen. Francisco Franco captured Barcelona. In 1942, the first American Expeditionary Force to go to Europe during World War II arrived in Belfast, Northern Ireland. In 1950, India officially proclaimed itself a republic as Rajendra Prasad took the oath of office as president. In 1962, the United States launched Ranger 3 to land scientific instruments on the moon — but the probe ended up missing its target by more than 22,000 miles. In 1979, former Vice President Nelson A. Rockefeller died in New York at age 70. In 1988, Australians celebrated the 200th anniversary of their country as a grand parade of tall ships re-enacted the voyage of the first European settlers. The Andrew Lloyd Webber musical “Phantom of the Opera” opened at Broadway’s Majestic Theater. In 1998, President Bill Clinton forcefully denied having an affair with a former White House intern, telling reporters, “I did not have sexual relations with that woman, Miss Lewinsky.” In 2005, A U.S. Marine helicopter crashed in western Iraq, killing 30 Marines and a Navy medic aboard. A man parked his SUV on railroad tracks in Glendale, California, setting off a crash of two commuter trains that killed 11 people. (The SUV’s driver, Juan Alvarez, was convicted of murder and sentenced to 11 consecutive life terms.) Condoleezza Rice was sworn in as secretary of state, following her confirmation by the Senate. Ten years ago: Saudi Arabia recalled its ambassador from Denmark to protest caricatures of the prophet Muhammad published in a Danish newspaper. (Protests spread across the Muslim world for weeks, and dozens of people were killed.) Confronted by Oprah Winfrey on her syndicated talk show, author James Frey acknowledged lies in his addiction memoir “A Million Little Pieces.” Five years ago: Speaking in Manitowoc, Wisconsin, President Barack Obama campaigned vigorously for his revamped economic message, warning that other countries were grasping for first place in the global marketplace as the U.S. fell down on the job. Afghan President Hamid Karzai swore in the country’s new parliament, marking the end of a drawn-out battle over whether the lawmakers would be able to start work despite ongoing investigations into electoral fraud. One year ago: A blizzard dumped heavy snow on parts of the Northeast but largely spared New York City, which had shut down in preparation for the storm. Senate Democratic leader Harry Reid had surgery to remove a clot and blood from applaud the rebels who escaped the grip of their electronic devices. The world seemed to revolve a tad slower when I was young. Maybe that’s because there were no high-speed Internets or highways, or maybe it was simply that I indulged in the moment easier without the responsibilities brought on by adulthood. Whatever the reason, I want to follow the planet’s lead, slow my spinning head. I shut my laptop and run outside. Lifting my face to the sky, I open my mouth wide and swallow a few snowflakes full of memories. Michele Zirkle Marcum is a native of Meigs County and an author.

I can’t tell you how much I appreciate both of them. Honestly, when I need something done I’m picking up the phone or I’m walking into wherever they’re at and saying ‘I need your help on this,’ and they’ve never said no.” The two said that although they love their jobs, challenges are always inevitable — especially in such an intense field of work. “I handled about 9,700 calls last year, just me,” Davis, who did truck maintenance until he became a dispatcher almost two years ago, said of the latter. “You get calls from a cat stuck in trees down to the major emergencies, like severe car wrecks. And you’re talking parents through CPR, and you know you really have to stay on the phone with the people and comfort them.” For Davis, professionalism, no matter what the call, is the key. “You’re going to face everything under the sun,” he said. “But you hold your cool; you’re the professional. You have to do the professional work.” Johnson said that for her, becoming emotionally involved was difficult, but that you learn over the years how to cope. “You just don’t take it home with you,” she said. “You learn TODAY 8 AM WEATHER 2 PM 44° 47° 36° HEALTH TODAY AccuWeather.com Asthma Index™ Temperature The AccuWeather.com Asthma Index combines the effects of current air quality, pollen counts, wind, temperature, dew point, barometric pressure, and changes from past weather conditions to provide a scale showing the overall probability and severity of an asthma attack.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — For all his daring and dabbing and Superman persona, Cam Newton quickly reminds everyone that football is all about team. And his Carolina Panthers are headed for the big game. “For everyone who wears the blue and black, it has been a long time coming,” Newton said after another virtuoso performance Sunday with two touchdown passes and another two TD leaps — minus the Superman cape —in a 49-15 destruction of the Arizona Cardinals for the NFC championship. “It’s a question you got to ask: Why not us? “We’ve been dreaming about this moment since Day 1. Our pen has a lot more ink left.” The Panthers (17-1) have written quite a story so far. They manhandled two prominent defenses in the playoffs, Seattle (at least for a half) and then Arizona (14-4). They led the league in points (500) during the regular season, and against the Cardinals’ topranked offense they forced six turnovers by Carson Palmer. So now it’s on to the Bay Area to face Peyton Manning and the Denver Broncos (14-4) in Super Bowl 50. Manning, a five-time league MVP, will play in his fourth Super Bowl and Denver in a record-tying eighth. Carolina, a loser 12 years ago to New England, gets its second trip. “When I was growing up,” said All-Pro linebacker Luke Kuechly, who had a 22-yard interception return touchdown to give Carolina the most points in an NFC championship, “it was Peyton Manning and the Colts putting up big numbers. He was the guy and still is the guy that everyone looks at. It’s going to be a lot of fun.” Some memorable things from the Panthers’ romp: CAM OF STEEL: Newton’s superhero image was enhanced by yet another fabulous performance. On both of his TD runs, he laid out the ball or himself to get into the end zone.

The RedStorm received 13 points in the balloting of a panel of head coaches representing each of the conferences and the Association of Independent Institutions, good enough for the equivalent of 36th place. Rio Grande won the KIAC Tournament in 2015, earning the program’s second all-time appearance in the national tournament. The RedStorm went 1-2 in tourney play and finished with a record of 32-16 under then-head coach Amber Bowman. Former Jackson (OH) High School coach Chris Hammond takes over this season after Bowman left for an NCAA Division I assistant coaching position and inherits a roster which has 17 returnees, including seven starters. Two-time defending national champion Auburn Montgomery (Ala.) grabbed the No. 1 ranking, collecting all 18 first-place votes and 498 total points for its fourth all-time top position. Lindsey Wilson, last year’s runner-up, checked in with 482 points and the No. 2 ranking, while Oregon Tech, LSU Alexandria and Central Methodist (Mo.) round out the top five. LSU Alexandria has now been in the top 10 in 20-straight polls dating back to 2014.

Denver’s defense carries Manning DENVER (AP) — Peyton Manning is glad he doesn’t have to face Denver’s dizzying defense. Tom Brady wasn’t so lucky. The Broncos bashed Brady throughout a 20-18 dethroning of the New England Patriots in the AFC championship Sunday that sent Denver to a record-tying eighth Super Bowl. Von Miller’s monster performance led the way for a dominant defense that hit Brady 23 times and forced him into 29 incompletions, two fourth-down flops and two costly interceptions, one of them on a failed 2-point try that would have tied it with 12 seconds left. “Von played phenomenal today,” safety T.J. Ward said. “I have never seen a performance like that from one player.” Miller had 2 1/2 sacks, four quarterback hits, a pass breakup and a takeaway that turned into a touchdown. “I tell you, I can do it all,” Miller said with a wry smile. “I’m just playing.” But he wasn’t kidding. Denver’s defense is no joke. “Defense wins championships,” Chris Harris Jr. said, repeating the mantra in case anybody still doubts Denver. DeMarcus Ware added seven hits on Brady, including a sandwich sack with Miller, and Derek Wolfe set the early tone with a huge, jaw-rattling hit, a batted down pass and a sack. “He was rattled,” said Aqib Talib, whose deflected pass on Brady’s 2-point try settled into Bradley Roby’s hands. “I don’t think I’ve ever seen anybody put that much pressure on Tom — ever. So, I think we did a hell of a job getting that pressure on him. That’s why we’re going to the ‘ship.” Along with Manning, who was hit just four times and threw two TD passes to tight end Owen Daniels. Manning is seeking his second ring and his third for his boss, John Elway. “Me, personally, I think he still has it, although the critics say he doesn’t have it,” receiver Emmanuel Sanders said. “You want to talk about a guy that started the season off 7-0 and is now he is going to the Super Bowl. At age 39 or 40 or 70 or how ever old he is, no matter what, he gets the job done.” Two months shy of 40, he’s also trying to supplant Elway as the oldest QB ever to win a Lombardi Trophy. Standing in their way is Cam Newton and the Carolina Panthers (171), who throttled the, Arizona Cardinals 49-15 to reach their first Super Bowl. “I’ve enjoyed playing on the same team as that defense,” Manning said of his teammates. “I’m glad I haven’t had to face them this season, I’ll say that. They’ve been challenging to go against in practice.” Brady praised not only Denver’s front seven, but its star-studded secondary. “It was just tough for us to ever get in a rhythm,” said Brady, who fell to 11-6 in his storied rivalry with Manning, including 1-3 in conference championships. Other takeaways from Denver’s second AFC title in three years: NOT SO AUTOMATIC: The reliable Stephen Gostkowski missed a rare extra point early in the game, one that haunted the Patriots the rest of the way. He took it hard after the game, too. “You want to help the team win. You don’t want to be the reason you lose,” said Gostkowski, who had made an NFLrecord 523 consecutive PATs before sending fluttering one wide right in the first quarter. “It’s not a good feeling. I deserve all the blame that I get and I’ll try to hold my head up high.” Gostkowski’s teammates refused to blame him for failing to get Brady and Bill Belichick their 23rd playoff win. “No one is perfect. That’s just life. We’re all going to make mistakes,” cornerback Malcolm Butler said. “We’re in this together.” GRONK CRAMPS UP: In the second half, with the Patriots trying to mount a comeback, Rob Gronkowski was on the sideline, face-down, while a trainer massaged his legs. The best tight end in the game had fallen victim to the mile-high air and a bad case of the cramps. He came back and made more than his share of plays — most notably the 40-yard catch down the seam on fourthand-10 during New England’s late scoring drive, then the 4-yard grab for a touchdown that gave the Patriots a chance to tie the game. Eight catches for 144 yards is nothing to apologize for. Still, the loss — and those cramps — will hurt Gronk for a while. “As an athlete, you just don’t want that to happen,” he said. KEO’S K.O. — Street free agent Shiloh Keo has more than made up for surrendering the gamewinning TD in a 15-12 loss to Oakland five days after joining Denver’s defense when an injury epidemic took out several of their safeties. First, his interception of Philip Rivers in the waning minutes of the season finale set up Ronnie Hillman’s gamewinning touchdown run in Denver’s 27-20 victory that secured the AFC’s No. 1 seed. See DENVER | 7 �SPORTS Daily Sentinel Tuesday, January 26, 2016 7 Smith delights crowd during off-the-cuff induction speech CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — Bruton Smith, the colorful chairman of Speedway Motorsports Inc., delighted the audience with an off-the-cuff speech Saturday while accepting his place in NASCAR’s Hall of Fame, touching on everything from his building of Charlotte Motor Speedway to his unwavering support of Coca-Cola. Smith, who owns eight tracks that host 12 Sprint Cup Series events, had steadfastly maintained he didn’t care about making NASCAR’s Hall of Fame as he repeatedly failed to make the ballot of nominees. Once he was finally elected, the octogenarian who recently completed treat- ment for cancer entertained the audience at the Charlotte Convention Center for almost 16 minutes. Smith discussed the difficulty in financing the building of a race track, only to see it completed and not have enough money to keep it open. He offered Pepsi Cola a 50-year deal as the exclusive soda supplier at Charlotte, but the company declined. It led to a partnership with Coca-Cola that has spanned decades and helped turn the annual Coca-Cola 600 into one of most prestigious races in NASCAR. “We have sold millions and millions of cans of Coca-Cola. As a matter of fact, if we had Panthers From page 6 And one of his TD passes was an 86-yard catchand-run by Philly Brown, helped by Rashad Johnson’s botched tackle. Newton set an NFL mark with 45 touchdowns: 35 passes and 10 runs. On Sunday, all of those talents were on display. “We knew from the get-go when he first got here,” said center Ryan Kalil, like Newton an All-Pro, “we had something special. Watching him grow each and every year, it’s been incredible, and this has been a big year for him?” You think? But it’s not enough, the fifth-year quarterback admitted. “Yeah, we are going to the Super Bowl. We are not going just to take pictures,” Newton said.”We are trying to finish this thing off.” BIG-PLAY DEFENSE: Denver was practically overwhelming defensively in edging the Patriots 18-16 for the AFC crown. Carolina WAS overwhelming against Arizona. Palmer threw four interceptions and lost two fumbles; a seventh Carolina takeaway came on special teams. Kurt Coleman, who had an NFC-best seven picks during the season, grabbed two. Tre Boston had one and Kuechly got the capper. There were also three sacks. Kawann Short forced a fumble on his, and so did Charles Johnson. Kyle Love had the other sack. “They can do it all,” Palmer said. “It’s a very solid group. They have a lot of young guys and then a lot of experience, too.” GINNED UP: Ted Ginn Jr. spent a very unproductive 2014 with the Cardinals, who quickly released him after that season. He hooked back up with Carolina, where Ginn spent 2013. Ginn has had his best year, and against Arizona he had one of his best games. His 32-yard punt return set up his darting, weaving 22-yard TD run. He had 52 yards in receptions, and he tracked down All-Pro create the best fan experience possible at the eight NASCAR tracks he owns,” Keselowski said. “He’s a true visionary.” The ceremony originally scheduled for Friday night was delayed until Saturday afternoon because of the snowstorm pounding the East Coast. Smith was inducted along with two-time champion Terry Labonte, modified great Jerry Cook, Bobby Isaac and Curtis Turner. Labonte had the unenviable task of following Smith in the ceremony. The driver known as “The Iceman” for his composure had to choke back tears several times after he was introduced by reigning NASCAR champion Kyle all the money we took in from selling Coca-Cola, we would have plenty of money and I could give y’all some money tonight,” Smith joked. His son, Marcus, twice tried to nudge his father along with his speech, but Smith joked that Rick Hendrick had offered him money if he talked for at least 12 minutes. Smith was introduced by 2012 NASCAR champion Brad Keselowski and inducted by Hall of Famer Darrell Waltrip. “Few know how to connect with fans better than the founder of Speedway Motorsports Inc., who today, 70 years after promoting his first stock car race, still strives to cornerback Patrick Peterson to prevent a touchdown on an interception return. Man, that felt good. “I felt like deep down inside they felt like I couldn’t do it,” Ginn said of the Cardinals. “They sent me back out to the wolves. “Yes, it was personal,” Ginn said. “My team knew it was personal.” DISTRESSING POSTSEASON: After going 13-3 and looking like the league’s most balanced team, the Cardinals played inconsistently in outlasting the Packers in overtime in the divisional round. They were awful on the final step toward the Super Bowl. “This is as low as you can feel,” Palmer said. “You put so much in and you come in here with such high expectations. To leave the way we’re leaving, it just hurts.” THE SHERIFF: Newton dubbed Manning “the Sheriff” when asked about the Super Bowl 50 matchup in two weeks in Santa Clara, California. All of the Panthers recognize the storybook ending Manning could write to his Hall of Fame-caliber career. They don’t want any part of that. “Great achievement for him,” said Panthers cornerback Josh Norman, yet another All-Pro. “But we plan on winning.” Do you or a loved one STRUGGLE on the stairs?

First, though, it was new coach Tyronn Lue’s turn to address the shocking developments of the past 24 hours in Cleveland. Halfway through a championship-or-bust season, the Cavaliers are picking up the pieces. One day after coach David Blatt was fired despite taking the Cavs to the NBA Finals last season and guiding them into first place in the Eastern Conference, James said he was surprised by the bold move but supported general manager David Griffin’s rationale behind it. “We’re just a team that we’re a bit fragile at times,” James said following Saturday’s shootaround, “and we’re still learning each other.” The Cavs needed a shake-up and one was provided by Griffin, who sensed the talented team was not as connected as it needed to be in order to win a championship in Cleveland, the title James covets most. James was told of Blatt’s firing during a meeting Friday with Griffin and his teammates. “I was just as surprised and caught off guard like everybody,” James said. “It’s unfortunate what happened yesterday, and as a team we just have to focus on what’s now, what’s now in front of us with the Help Wanted General AP Photo Cleveland Cavaliers head coach David Blatt is restrained by assistant coach Tyronn Lue as Blatt argues a call during the second half of an NBA basketball game Friday, Dec. 25, 2015, in Oakland, Calif. coach that we have now and we’ve got to continue to get better. He (Griffin) was right on everything that he said. Obviously, he sees it from the outside and the inside looking in. He’s around us every day and he felt like as good as we can be we weren’t reaching the potential to this point. “He made the change that he felt was appropriate for this team and like it or love it or hate it or whatever, we’ve got to respect it. … He felt like it was best for the team.

Before the team’s light practice, Lue, who worked on Rivers’ staff in Boston and with the Los Angeles Clippers, said he talked to the Cavs about what he wants to accomplish the rest of this season. “I just talked about playing the game the right way, having more spacing, playing with more pace,” he said. “I talked to the guys about just being able to focus on the moment and the process.

Blatt’s top assistant the past two seasons, Lue said he won’t try to do things differently than his boss. He will, however, attempt “to do some things better.” Lue said Cleveland’s 34-point loss to the Golden State Warriors this week shook the Cavs, breaking off a huge chunk of the team’s confidence. His challenge is getting James and the others to believe in one another, play together and win. A point guard for 11 seasons in the NBA, Lue named Doc bring Phil Jackson in or whoever you want to bring in, but if we don’t change as players and as a staff and as a unit, we’re not going to be any good. “It wasn’t about the coaching change. It was about us changing.” Lue has known James since the forward was 17 and the two have a solid relationship. Lue, though, promised to treat him like any other player. “I talked to ‘Bron,” Lue said. “I told him: ‘I got to hold you accountable. It starts with you first. And if I can hold you accountable in front of the team and doing the right things, then everybody else has got to fall in line, fall in place.’” Griffin’s decision to change coaches led to speculation that James was behind the move. There’s no denying the fourtime MVP has major influence within Cleveland’s organization, but Griffin was adamant that James was not consulted before the decision was made. James knows there is a perception that Blatt would still be Cleveland’s coach if the 31-yearold didn’t want him fired. “I’ve stopped that a long time ago in my career, worrying about what other people think about me or what I influence or what I don’t,” he said. “But the only thing I can worry about is how I continue to get these guys prepared and get them playing better basketball, because obviously we know we can be much better and I know we can be much better.” NOTICE OHIO VALLEY PUBLISHING CO.

He also is expected to earn MVP honors for the first time, part of a new breed of dual-threat QBs as good at running as they are at throwing. For the next two weeks, until Manning’s AFC champion Denver Broncos (14-4) play Newton’s NFC champion Carolina Panthers (17-1) for the Lombardi Trophy in Santa Clara, California, on Feb. 7, most of the focus will be on the two quarterbacks who were No. 1 overall draft picks 13 years apart. “Oh, wow,” said Newton, whose Panthers opened as 4-point favorites with most bookmakers. “Playing ‘The Sheriff.’” That is a reference to Manning, who is 1-2 in past Super Bowls. He won a championship with the Indianapolis Colts in 2007, lost with the Colts in 2010, and lost again with the Broncos in 2014. But this is a different version of Manning. Yes, he’s still as good as anyone at diagnosing defenses and changing things up — or appearing to, anyway — at the line of scrimmage. Yes, he’s still out there yelling “Omaha!” “He most certainly is a Hall of Famer,” Panthers coach Ron Rivera said. But Manning is not quite as capable as he was, once upon a time, when it comes to putting the football exactly where he wants it, especially on deep routes. This has hardly been a record-setting season for Manning — or, until now, one worth remembering. Overall, the bad far outweighed the good, including one game with a passer rating of 0.0, 17 interceptions to only nine touchdown passes in the regular season, being sidelined for six weeks with a series of injuries, getting relegated to backup duty in the NFL for the first time, and vehemently denying a report linking Manning’s wife to the banned drug HGH. “My role has been different and my contributions are different,” Manning said. “But I’m fortunate and grateful that I have the opportunity to contribute still, in some way. And it’s a great honor to be going back to the Super Bowl.” Here are some of the other story lines for the 50th Super Bowl, which will be Denver’s recordtying eighth and Carolina’s second: SUPERMAN: Newton threw for 335 yards and two TDs, and he ran for 47 yards and a pair of scores, leading Carolina past the Arizona Cardinals 49-15 in the NFC title game Sunday night. It was the type of dynamic performance he put in all season, the sort of promise he showed while winning a Heisman Trophy in college at Auburn. “I keep saying it: We’re not finished. We’re not finished,” Newton said. MILLER TIME: Broncos linebacker Von Miller was terrific Sunday, getting 2 1/2 sacks and an interception in a 20-18 victory over Tom Brady and the New England Patriots in the AFC title game. “I wanted to do it for Peyton,” said Miller, who was injured and missed Denver’s loss to Seattle in the 2014 Super Bowl.
