Doug Dixon was unanimously elected as council president for 2015 by all members of the council. Dixon is currently slated to serve on the council through the year. Mick Barr was also reappointed as village solicitor for 2015. Dixon asked if this position was a civilian contract. Sue Baker, fiscal officer of the council, said they weren’t and the position is appointed each year. The council voted for Barr to remain solicitor, but the vote came from a split vote and Mayor Michael Gerlach voted yes. The council shifted their discussion to the 2015 Visitor’s Guide. The discussion revolved around putting a half-page ad for the village in the guide. The ad would run for $350. The council discussed whether they should put an ad in both guides from The Daily Sentinel and the Meigs County Chamber of Commerce. The council decided that they would only have enough money to put their ad in one of the guides. Dixon asked how much reach the commerce’s guide would have versus the Sentinel’s guide. The council voted they would put their ad in the Sentinel’s guide, but decided that they would do more research on which guide reaches more people for next year’s guide. Other council meeting business included picking a date and time for the insurance committee to meet. Baker, Dixon and Penny Burge said they would be able to attend the meeting on Wednesday, Jan. 21 at 4 p.m. and any of the council members who wish to attend can attend. Baker said she would contact insurance agents to see if they would be able to attend the meeting. There was also a discussion on the updated codified ordinance, but was tabled until the next meeting. There was also discussion on the payment of bills, which totalled $8,610.43, and a brief discussion on the 2015 budget, but was tabled until the final number was available. The next council meeting will be held on Monday, Jan. 26 at 7 p.m. Reach Donald Lambert at 740-992-2155, Ext. 2555. or on Twitter @Donaldlambert22.

POMEROY — The Return Jonathan Meigs DAR meeting was held recently at the Meigs County Library. The meeting opened by Regent Opal Grueser, with the DAR rituals and Star Spangled Banner being sung, accompanied by member, Donna Jenkins. A telephone calling card was sent to a member of armed forced in Afghanistan, by the DAR, and money was donated by members for a care package to the Veterans Hospital in Chillicothe. Afterwards the business meeting was adjourned and a program presented by Diane Johnson, of Charles Lewis Chapter, of Mason County, W.Va. DAR, was given on Anne Bailey Volunteer of Revolutionary Militia. Johnson portrayed the life of Anne Bailey, dressed in costume of that era. Anne Bailey was born in 1742 in Liverpool, England, became an orphan at 18 ears of age and sailed to America to live with relatives in Staunton, Va. She then married Richard Trotter, a seasoned frontiersman, and experienced soldier. He joined the militia and was killed in the Battle of Pt .Pleasant Oct. 19, 1774, when the Native Americans attacked the Virginia Militia under the direction of Chief Cornstalk. The Virginians forced Chief Cornstalk into a treaty, thus starting the first battle of the Revolutionary War. In learning of her husband’s death, Anne joined the militia and became know as “Mad Anne” by whites and Native Americans. She rode from one recruiting station to the next encouraging volunteers to protect women and children. She was an unusual sight, clad in buckskins, leggings, petticoats, heavy shoes, a man’s coat and hat with a knife in her belt and gun slung over her shoulder. The Indians thought she was possessed by an evil spirit and feared the sight of her. She married a second time to John Bailey, also a frontiersman. In 1791, Anne Bailey singlehandedly saved Fort Lee, now known as Charleston, W.Va., from destruction by riding 200 miles round-trip to replenish the troops with gunpowder. Ann was 49 years old when she made this famous ride. She became a legend among the settlers in 1802. After John Bailey died, she lived in the wilderness alone for 20 years, sleeping in a cave near 18 Mile Creek. Finally, she lived on a farm with her son William in Gallia county, and he built a cabin for her to live there. She died in 1825 and was buried in a cemetery in Gallia County and remained there 76 years. In October 1901, her remains were moved to Tu-EndieWei Park in Pt. Pleasant, and a monument was placed there by Col. Lewis Chapter DAR. The next meeting of the return Jonathan Meigs DAR will be held at 1 p.m. Saturday, Jan. 17, 2015 with the speaker being Jack Fowler of Point Pleasant River Museum.

Mayor Donna Dennis and various council members have worked for months contacting West Virginia Department of Highways officials and legislators, in an attempt to get the bridge lights repaired and replaced. Mayor Dennis said in her most recent conversation, she was told the lights are no longer available. She said state officials are now checking to see if the lights can be repaired.

Police told The Associated Press that the weapons used came from abroad, as authorities in several countries searched for possible accomplices and the sources of financing for last week’s attacks on the satirical newspaper Charlie Hebdo, a kosher market and police. A new suspect was identified in Bulgaria. “We must not lower our guard, at any time,” Prime Minister Manuel Valls told Parliament, adding that “serious and very high risks remain.” Lawmakers in the often argumentative chamber lined up overwhelmingly behind the government, giving repeated standing ovations to Valls’ rousing, indignant address — and then voted 488-1 to extend French airstrikes against Islamic State extremists in Iraq. “France is at war against terrorism, jihadism, and radical Islamism,” Valls declared. “France is not at war against Islam.” He called for increased surveillance of imprisoned radicals and told the interior minister to quickly come up with new security proposals. French police say as many as six members of the terrorist cell that carried out the Paris attacks may still be at large, including a man seen driving a car registered to the widow of one of the gunmen. The country has deployed 10,000 troops to protect sensitive sites, including Jewish schools and synagogues, mosques and travel hubs. Several people are being sought in connection with the “substantial” financing of the three gunmen behind the terror campaign, said Christophe Crepin, a French police union official. The gunmen’s weapons stockpile came from abroad, and the size of it, plus the military sophistication of the attacks, indicated an organized terror network, he added. “This cell did not include just those three. We think with all seriousness that they had accomplices, because of the weaponry, the logistics and the costs of it,” Crepin said. “These are heavy weapons. When I talk about things like a rocket launcher — it’s not like buying a baguette on the corner. It’s for targeted acts.” In a sign that French judicial authorities were using laws against defending terrorism to their fullest extent, a man who had praised the terror attacks while resisting arrest on a drunk driving violation was swiftly sentenced to four years in prison. While the attacks have left France in jitters, some warned against going as far as a French version of the U.S. Patriot Act passed after Sept. 11. “This must not lead to the renouncing of fundamental freedoms, otherwise we prove right those who come to fight on our soil,” former Prime Minister Francois Fillon said on France-Inter radio. The investigation spread to yet another country: A Bulgarian prosecutor announced that a Frenchman jailed since Jan. 1 had ties to Cherif Kouachi, one of the brothers who carried out the Charlie Hebdo attack. The man, identified by French prosecutors as Joachim Fritz-Joly, was arrested as he tried to cross into Turkey. He was facing two European arrest warrants, one citing his alleged links to a terrorist organization and a second for allegedly kidnapping his 3-year-old son and smuggling him out of the country, said Darina Slavova, the regional prosecutor for Bulgaria’s southern province of Haskovo. “He met with Kouachi several times at the end of December,” Slavova said. The child was sent back to his mother in France. At a hearing in Haskovo on Tuesday, authorities decided to keep Fritz-Joly in custody until another hearing to determine whether he will be extradited to France. The Frenchman told the court he had known Cherif Kouachi since childhood. “A man can have friends and they can do whatever they want, but I am simply going on vacation and have nothing to do with it,” he told the court. Kouachi and his older brother, Said, killed 12 people at the satirical paper’s offices on Jan. 7, while their friend, Amedy Coulibaly, killed a French policewoman Thursday and four hostages Friday in a Paris kosher grocery. All three claimed ties to Islamic extremists in the Middle East — the Kouachis to al-Qaida in Yemen and Coulibaly to the Islamic State group. Francois Mori, pool | AP A French police officer holds the cap of late police officer Ahmed Merabet during a ceremony Tuesday to pay tribute to the three police officers killed in the terrorist attacks in Paris, France. Police officers Ahmed Merabet, 40, Franck Brinsolaro, 49, were killed during the attacks at Charlie Hebdo, and Clarissa Jean-Philippe killed in Montrouge last week, All three gunmen died Friday in clashes with French police. Authorities were searching around Paris for the Mini Cooper registered to Hayat Boumeddiene, Coulibaly’s widow, who Turkish officials say is now in Syria. French police also sought the person or persons who filmed and posted a video of Coulibaly explaining how the attacks in Paris would unfold. Earlier Tuesday, in ceremonies thousands of miles apart, France and Israel paid tribute to the victims of the terror attacks. At police headquarters in Paris, French President Francois Hollande placed Legion of Honor medals on the flagdraped caskets of the three police officers killed in the attacks. France will be “merciless in the face of anti-Semitic, antiMuslim acts, and unrelenting against those who defend and carry out terrorism, notably the jihadists who go to Iraq and Syria,” Hollande vowed. As Chopin’s funeral march played and the caskets were led from the building, a procession began in Jerusalem for the four Jewish victims at the kosher store. Defying the bloodshed and terror of last week, a caricature of the Prophet Muhammad was to appear Wednesday on the cover of the latest issue of Charlie Hebdo, weeping and holding a placard with the words “I am Charlie.” Criticism and threats immediately appeared on militant websites, with calls for more strikes against the newspaper and anonymous threats from radicals, according to the SITE Intelligence Group, a U.S.based terrorism monitor. Charlie Hebdo, which lampoons religion indiscriminately, had received threats after depicting Muhammad before. Europe’s Muslims feel heat of backlash after Paris terror By Elaine Ganley Associated Press PARIS — Firebombs and pig heads thrown into mosques. Veiled women subjected to insults in the street. The Internet awash with threats against Muslims. Europe’s Muslims are feeling the heat of a fierce backlash following last week’s terror attack against French satirical newspaper Charlie Hebdo. An official who keeps track of Islamophobic attacks in France said there were 60 incidents — attacks and threats — in the six days since that attack. A climate of fear is taking hold in Europe, stoked by rightist rhetoric equating the millions of peaceful Muslims with the few plotting murder and mayhem. Abdallah Zekri, head of the National Observatory Against Islamophobia, said that since last Wednesday’s massacre at Charlie Hebdo, 26 places of worship around France were attacked by firebombs, gunshots or pig heads, with a mosque in Le Mans hit with four grenades. There were 34 insults and threats. The three-day terror spree in Paris claimed the lives of 17 victims, and traumatized a continent already brimming with anti-immigrant sentiment. Brothers Cherif and Said Kouachi — the al-Qaidalinked suspects in the magazine attack — were killed in a shootout at a printing plant north of Paris; their apparent accomplice Amedy Coulibaly was shot dead in a near-simultaneous raid at a Jewish market, where he had holed himself up with hostages, killing four. French authorities are warning the nation against linking French Muslims with terrorists. “The terrorists’ religion is not Islam, which they are betraying,” Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius said last week. “It’s barbarity.” To make the point stick, he said he doesn’t want the word “Islamist” used to describe the killers. “I call that terrorists,” he said this week on iTele, explaining he doesn’t want to link terrorists with those who practice their “religion of peace.” Concerns about a backlash against Muslims were discussed Monday during a counter-terrorism meeting at the Interior Ministry. “We said above all, pretty unanimously, that in France there are 5 or 6 million Muslims. These (terrorist) issues concern 1,000 indi- viduals,” said Socialist lawmaker Patrick Mennucci. “We should be careful not to stigmatize anyone.” 2015 MEIGS COUNTY VISITORS GUIDE BEGINNING SATURDAY JANUARY 10, 2015 RIVERVALLEY HEALTH & WELLNESS CENTER 3"7&/4800% �87�r������������� & COPLIN MEMORIAL COMMUNITY HEALTH CENTER &-*;"#&5) �87�r������������� 4"563%":�)0634���".�m������1.�r�&7&3:�4"563%":� NO APPOINTMENT NECESSARY WIRT COUNTY HEALTH SERVICES ASSOCIATION 60557354 Be forecast weather Be ready! ready?Check Checkout out the the five-day five-day forcast onon thethe weather page orpage at mydailytribune.com, mydailyregister.com, and or online at MyOwnWashingtonCourthouse.com. mydailysentinel.com Contact your ad representative today! brought to you by 60554416 740-992-2155 740-446-2342 304-675-1333 Deadline for ad space is January 23rd, 2015 60558113 �E ditorial 4 Wednesday, January 14, 2015 Daily Sentinel THEIR VIEW Will Obama favor environmentalists over gas prices? From the first three months of 2009 to the second three months of 2014, President Obama had a monkey on his back — 22 straight quarters with economic growth of less than 5 percent. It was the longest such streak any president has posted since the federal government started keeping quarterly figures in 1947. Mr. Obama finally broke his rather inglorious streak in the third quarter of 2014 when GDP rose exactly 5 percent, according to the U.S. Commerce Department’s Bureau of Economic Analysis. That afforded the president the opportunity to go out on the hustings this past week to boast about his economic policies. Indeed, he told a friendly audience in Wayne, Mich., that “thanks to the steps that we took early to rescue our economy and to rebuild a new foundation, we are entering into the new year with a confidence that America is coming back.” But the improved GDP has almost nothing to do with Mr. Obama’s economic policies and almost everything to do with America’s unforeseen reemergence as the world’s No. 1 oil producer. Indeed, the BEA reported this week that, through the first 11 months of 2014, the U.S. was on pace to import the fewest barrels of crude oil in 21 years. Declining oil imports have shrank the U.S. trade deficit, which, in turn, has grown the nation’s GDP. Meanwhile, the boom in domestic oil production has driven pump prices down about 60 cents a gallon, to the lowest level since Mr. Obama has been in the White House. The stimulatve effect is equal to a middle-class tax cut of $100 billion to $125 billion, according to a report last month by the investment bank Goldman Sachs. That brings us back, yet again, to the proposed Keystone XL pipeline. It would add another 800,000 barrels a day of crude oil to the domestic and international market, which would do much to maintain low gas prices and the resulting economic stimulus. The Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee voted Thursday to fast-track to the floor a bipartisan plan, sponsored by Sens. John Hoeven, the North Dakota Republican, and Joe Manchin, the West Virginia Democrat, that would authorize construction of the project. The House approved similar legislation Friday. Mr. Obama last week reiterated previous threats to veto Keystone legislation. If he ultimately does so, he will, no doubt, further ingratiate himself to environmental activists dead set against Keystone — like Tom Steyer, the the hedge-fund billionaire and big-time Democrat donor. But he’ll do a disservice to the majority of Americans who support Keystone, who welcome the lower pump prices the oil boom has given them, and the extra $750 per year per household that can go to purposes other than buying gasoline.

It has meaning stuff no more threatenbeen said that audience members ing than Styrofoam suits of armor, has become vastly possible, as in the City of Light, where 12 people were shot into oblivion recently. Those in our nation given to “fighting the power” were perhaps thrilled but kept quiet, expressing fake empathy, as different from the real thing as it could be. That is one of the things proven by the new film “Selma,” which shows on one level the importance had by television on the civil-rights movement. A brilliant performance is put forth by Tim Roth as Gov. George Wallace, speaking before the Ku Klux Klan and pretending before Lyndon Johnson that he has no power to stop Alabama troops from brutalizing civil-rights activists on a march. Roth reminds us of contemporary conservatives making a pretense of having never known they were speaking before the KKK — here, there or anywhere. The bombing of the four little girls in Birmingham allows us to understand how important the movement in the segregated South was to all of us as Americans. It also was a symbol of victory for all those oppressed or suffering under totalitarian rule. Yet there is always the irony that the most bestial of all stereotypes won at the same time, combining sex, violence and degrading attitudes too often embraced by young men and women as “cool.” It is now as if all of those who sacrificed or were sacrificed missed the mightiest mark, the shifting human sensibility. In our nation, millions of people are now much more open to what is called “diversity,” but that can still be used to justify and defend the sale of garbage. Hustlers never die. These days, they only defend their products, floating in the waters and called no more than tough-smelling bouquets from the streets.

In the fear and chaos that followed, riders prayed but also helped one another, performing mouth-to-mouth on an unconscious woman and offering an inhaler to a man curled in a fetal position on the train’s floor. Some waited for rescuers as instructed; others opened the doors of the train and made their way to safety through the darkness on their own. One woman died and more than 80 other people were sent to the hospital, mostly for smoke inhalation, after the electrical malfunction Monday on Washington’s Metro. A day later, 21 passengers remained hospitalized, and the accident had left a multitude of unanswered questions. Commuters demanded to know: Was the train’s evacuation unnecessarily delayed? Were passengers given the right information? And what caused the death of the woman? Authorities in the nation’s capital had no immediate answers. The woman, identified Tuesday as 61-year-old Carol Glover of Alexandria, Va., was the first fatality on Washington’s Metro system since a 2009 crash killed eight passengers and a train operator. Glover was an analyst for a DKW Communications, an IT company that does work for the government, and was working on a contract with the U.S. Department of Agriculture at the time of her death, said her supervisor Cliff Andrews. The malfunction happened at L’Enfant Plaza, one of the subway’s busiest stations, around 3:30 p.m. Monday, at the beginning of the afternoon rush hour. The stop is near the Smithsonian’s National Air and Space Museum and many federal office buildings, including the headquarters of the National Transportation Safety Board, which is leading the investigation. NTSB investigator Michael Flanigon said the smoke started when something came into contact with the high-voltage third rail and caused an electrical arc. The six-car train stopped about 800 feet beyond the platform, and the arcing occurred roughly 1,000 Review are automatically enrolled into a free prom gown giveaway,” she said. “We From Page 1 started it (the giveaway) last year and had such a “We’ve done it for 25 good response from it, years, and it’s definitely a and the little girl that won community event.,” she it was so excited.” said. “Every year everyThis year, Hardway body looks forward to said popular prom gowns doing it.

There was no fire. Patti Aliventi, 49, was waiting for a train when she heard shouting and saw gray smoke filling the station. She said riders were told to get out, but a bottleneck developed when employees didn’t just open the fare gates to make it easier for people to leave. Aboard the subway, passenger Jonathan Rogers, 31, said he and two other people tried in vain for 20 minutes to revive a middleaged woman who had slumped to the floor unconscious near the front of the train, where the smoke was the heaviest. “We know you do chest compressions and mouth-to-mouth, so that’s what we did,” Rogers said. “Nothing was happening and she was laying there unconscious. Somebody took her pulse and said they couldn’t feel a pulse.” Rogers said a man scooped the woman up in his arms and carried her through the cars toward the back of the train. It wasn’t immediately clear if the woman was the one who died. Rogers said he doesn’t understand why passengers weren’t allowed to leave the train sooner for the one- or two-minute walk back to the platform. “It just kind of felt like, ‘Why Rachel Allan, Paparazzi, Alyce Designs and Tiffany’s. An emphasis on the necklines and crystal bead detailing is a major trend that Hardway said attendees will see at the show. “It’s all about the detailing in the necklines,” she said. “Even the backs of a lot of these dresses are heavily beaded with crystals.” As far as color trends go, Hardway said purple and jewel tones such as blues and greens are big this year — as well as unique color combinations such as black gowns with turquoise and coral beads — in addition to set for Jan. 24, noon to 2 p.m., for the town’s children; Heard from Larry Daniels that the next Neighborhood Watch meeting will be Jan. 20; Was given the monthly police report, with concern expressed over recent break-ins; and, Approved invoices to be paid and minutes of prior meetings.

Forty minutes seems like a long time.” Andrew Litwin, 21, a University of Texas student visiting the Washington area, said about 30 minutes into the ordeal, a fellow rider reached 911 on a cellphone. Litwin said the news that firefighters were aware of the problem calmed passengers, who had been yelling, “We’re going to die here!” Luis Clemens, 47, a National Public Radio editor, said he was among a group of passengers who got off the train and walked back to the platform through the pitch-black tunnel despite instructions to stay on board. He said it seemed obvious, after what felt like 20 or 30 minutes, that the train wasn’t going to move. “We were not given any information that police or fire were en route or nearby,” he said. “All we got was, ‘Stay in place. Yes, I know there’s smoke. Don’t leave.’ And that doesn’t make a whole lot of sense when you’re sitting there watching over some period, watching the subway cars fill up with smoke.” At a news conference Tuesday, Mayor Muriel Bowser declined to give details on how quickly the classic prom colors. “As always, your reds and blacks are your classics. Creams and golds are beautiful this year, and champagnes are still in,” she said. Additionally, attendees will see the guys modeling tuxedo’s from Jim’s Formal Wear, Hardway said. Prom hours at Brittany’s are in full swing, the fire department responded, beyond saying that firefighters got to the scene in their “customary” timeframe. City officials also declined to make the fire chief or the head of the city’s 911 center available to answer questions. Bowser said her administration is reviewing the response and will release its findings next week. “We will find out what happened, get to the bottom of what happened and commit to fixing it,” said Bowser, who took office a week and a half ago. Metro board chairman Tom Downs apologized to riders injured, frightened or inconvenienced. He said the investigation “will be a thorough process that often takes time.” The Metrorail system, which connects Washington with the Maryland and Virginia suburbs, carries an average of 721,000 passengers each weekday. The affected line remained shut down Tuesday morning, and other lines were on a reduced schedule. Smoke and fire are not unusual on the subway system, which opened in 1976 and still uses some original rail cars. Metro’s most recent safety reports showed 86 incidents of smoke or fire in 2013 and 85 through the first eight months of 2014. and the shop is now open from noon to 6 p.m. Monday through Friday, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday, and 1-4 p.m. Sunday. Sponsors at this year’s Prom Style Review include Brittany’s Fashions, Basket’s Delight, Image Gallery and Craig James Live Audio. Tickets for the event are $10, and $15 for upfront seating, and can be purchased at the ArielAnn Carson Dater Performing Arts Centre or online at arieltheatre.org. “We enjoy doing this every year for the community, and it also gives us a chance to show our designs for the upcoming season. We really enjoy it,” Hardway said. Reach April Jaynes at (740) 4462342 ext. 2108 or on Twitter @ ajaynes_reports.

ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) — The first College Football Playoff was a success on almost every level — except maybe for fans of TCU and Baylor. Otherwise, there was not much to gripe about. And Ohio State walking away with the first championship by beating Oregon 42-20 on Monday night after getting the fourth spot ahead of TCU and Baylor certainly helped justify the selection committee’s choice. Now that it’s over, let’s look ahead and examine where the College Football Playoff goes from here. HAPPY NEW YEAR If you thought New Year’s Day was just perfect, spending your lazy day off watching football, with a semifinal doubleheader kicking off around 5 p.m. ET, we’ve got some bad news for you. The semifinals next season will be played on New Year’s Eve at the Orange Bowl in Miami and at the Cotton Bowl at AT&T Stadium. “We really do think we’re going to change the paradigm of New Year’s Eve,” College Football Playoff executive director Bill Hancock said. The Rose Bowl goes back to being Big Ten vs. Pac-12 and the Sugar Bowl will now have a similar setup with the Southeastern Conference and the Big 12 in a matchup. But those two bowls keep those premium time slots, back-to-back on New Year’s Day. “Traditions were existing when we started the playoff,” Hancock said. “And one of those is the Rose Bowl. And SEC and the Big 12 grabbed that night spot in New Year’s Day. It’ll be a great thing for them.” Maybe not for fans, though. THE COMMITTEE The 13-member selection committee, which turned into a 12-member selection committee, needs to find at least one new member. After Oliver Luck resigned as athletic director at West Virginia, the committee needs another representative from the Big 12 conference. Baylor coach Art Briles, who complained about not having enough Texas representation on the panel, might not like it, but don’t be surprised if Kansas State’s John Currie or Oklahoma’s Joe Castiglione ended up taking Luck’s spot. Former Mississippi quarterback Archie Manning had to withdraw from the committee during the season because of health issues and it’s still very much up in the air if he will be back. Hard to say who would replace Manning. It likely would be someone with ties to SEC country, but the conference commissioners who ultimately choose the committee members might want to look for someone who could lower the average age of the panel. None of the members were below 50. There are a couple of things that will be up for discussion when the committee and commissioners start talking about whether changes need to be made to the rankings process: — Do the committee members need to meet in person every week to do the rankings? — Should the rankings continue to be weekly? If ESPN has a say (and it does) the answer will be yes. — Could the rankings start later in the season? CONFERENCE RESET Ohio State’s championship, along with some other Big Ten bowl wins and a handful of high-profile SEC losses, could reset a narrative that many outside the Deep South had grown tired of during the BCS era. After seven straight BCS titles by the SEC, it has now been shut out of the last two national championships. No need to panic, SEC fans. The league is still loaded, but offense rules the day in college football and a conference with sketchy quarterback play throughout can’t call itself the undisputed No. 1 in the land. Meanwhile, things are looking up for the Big Ten. “It was a good bowl season,” Big Ten Commissioner Jim Delany said after the national championship game . “We had several chances to play great teams. Ohio State just got better and better. Michigan State had a good season.” Ohio State is built to last under Urban Meyer. Michigan State isn’t going anywhere under Mark Dantonio. Penn State is racking up in recruiting with coach James Franklin. And then there’s this new guy Jim Harbaugh at Michigan. He’s kind of a big deal. REFORM The playoff is influencing NCAA reform and restructuring because of how much money it is pumping into the top level of college sports — more than $500 million per year just from ESPN television contracts related to big bowl games. Meyer was among the first to call for the NCAA to find a way to pay for players’ families to attend the extra postseason game the Buckeyes and Ducks had in the playoff. In about a month, the NCAA came up with a pilot program to reimburse players’ parents or guardians up to $3,000 for travel expenses. OVP SPORTS BRIEFS Mason County Youth Wrestling League POINT PLEASANT, W.Va. — Mason County Youth Wrestling League signups will be held over the next two Thursdays at the Hartley Wrestling Center at Point Pleasant High School.

By Dave Green �SPORTS 10 Wednesday, January 14, 2015 Daily Sentinel Buckeye Bash: Ohio State claims title in playoff ’s debut ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) — Ohio State was done when Braxton Miller got hurt in August. Ohio State was done when it lost at home to Virginia Tech in September. Ohio State was done when J.T. Barrett got hurt in November. A funny thing happened: Every time the Buckeyes looked done, they kept getting better. And in the new era of college football, that was enough to earn a chance to win a championship. They took advantage of an opportunity they never would have had in the BCS, shrugging off questions about if they belonged among the college football’s final four. Cardale Jones, Ezekiel Elliott and the Buckeyes won the first College Football Playoff national championship, upsetting Marcus Mariota and Oregon 42-20 on Monday night. Behind their bullish backup quarterback Jones and the relentless running of Elliott, the Buckeyes (14-1) completed a remarkable in-season turnaround with a dominating performance against the Ducks (13-2). “Late August, around camp, everybody counted us out when our Heisman Trophy quar- terback went down, and then when the first college football playoff rankings came out we was like No. 16 or 17,” Jones said. “Long story short, we weren’t supposed to here.” Ohio State began the first major college football playoff as the fourth and final seed, and was an underdog against both top-seeded Alabama and second-seeded Oregon. Plenty of people thought TCU or Baylor should have had the Buckeyes spot. No question about it now: Ohio State is the truest champion big-time football has ever crowned, showered by golden confetti as its band played the school’s unofficial anthem, “Hang on Sloopy,” after the clock hit 0:00. “This will go down as one of the great stories in college football history,” coach Urban Meyer said. The Buckeyes overcame two injured Heisman contenders and one awful 35-21 loss to Virginia Tech to win their first national title since the 2002 BCS championship. In the BCS, the early slip to the Hokies could have pretty much eliminated the Buckeyes for the championship race. Before the BCS’s 16-year stint, it was up to The Associated Press and coaches’ polls to sort out which team was best, with a little help from the bowls. The Buckeyes have three of those championships, too. Now they can add college football’s newest championship trophy to the display cases at Woody Hayes Athletic Center back in Columbus. Meyer now has three titles, adding this one for his home state team to the two he won for Florida. He matches Alabama’s Nick Saban as the only coaches to win national championship at two schools. It’s taken just three seasons for Meyer to put the Buckeyes — and the Big Ten — back on top, with a team that looks built to last. Elliott, a sophomore, was the offensive MVP and ran for 246 yards and four touchdowns on a career-high 36 carries. In the last three games — the Big Ten championship against Wisconsin, the Sugar Bowl semifinal against Alabama and the final against Oregon — Elliott had 696 yards rushing. “With all the stuff we went through to get here, it’s just crazy,” Elliott said. “It doesn’t feel real.” Jones, who took over in the Michigan game for the injured Barrett (who had taken over at the start of the season for the injured Miller), passed for 242 yards and a touchdown and ran for score in his third career start. The 250-pound third-year sophomore proved he could keep up with Mariota — at least on this night. Mariota passed for 333 yards and two touchdowns, but the Ducks’ warp-speed spread offense missed too many redzone opportunities and couldn’t unleash its running game against linebacker Darron Lee and an Ohio State front seven stacked with future NFL draft picks. “We fought through a lot of stuff,” Mariota said. “We ended up short tonight, but that shouldn’t take away from what we were able to do this year.” Even with the benefit of four Ohio State turnovers, the Ducks were held to their lowest point total of the season, four touchdowns below their average coming in. They went 2 for 12 on third downs, with two killed dropped passes in the first half. “Their front seven is unbelievable,” Oregon receiver Byron Marshall said. “I think we missed some opportunities, and they played a great game.” Oregon has done just about everything as it has blossomed into a national power over the last two decades, but it will likely continue the search for its first national championship without Mariota. Barring a major surprise, the junior is likely to turn pro — though he wouldn’t talk about his upcoming draft decision after the game. Elliott scored the game’s last three touchdowns, finishing off the rout with a 1-yarder with 28 seconds left. While Elliott slipped and darted through the Ducks, Jones pushed them around and shook them off. When Jones surged and spun his way into the end zone with 4:49 left in the second quarter it was 21-7 Ohio State and the O! H! I! O! chant made the dome in North Texas sound like the horseshoe in Columbus. The Ducks were facing their largest deficit of the season. If there was any concern that fans wouldn’t travel to the championship game in the new postseason system, the packed house at the home of the Dallas Cowboys, awash in Buckeyes’ scarlet and Ducks’ yellow, put that to rest. The crowd of 85,689 was as charged as any BCS national championship game. But by the time Elliott went in from 2 yards out with 9:44 left in the fourth to make it 35-20 it was clear this night had turned into a Buckeyes Bash. Young, talented Buckeyes could be a favorite next year, too DALLAS (AP) — Here’s the scary part for the rest of major-college football: Some of Ohio State’s best players didn’t play in Monday night’s championship game, and many of those who did are coming back. “We’ll be very good,” Buckeyes coach Urban Meyer said in the understatement of the season. Asked about repeating, he smiled and said, “Tough questions, man. We just won a championship!” Sure, but it’s hard to hide the fact that the Buckeyes are loaded. Half of their starters in the championship game were freshmen or sophomores. The quarterback who led the Buckeyes to a 3-0 postseason mark, including the 42-20 victory over Oregon, said on Tuesday that he’s not ready for the NFL and will be coming back. “To me, right now, it’s far out,” Cardale Jones said. As far as staying in the fold, the same goes for the two injured stars who used to be in front of him: the graduated Braxton Miller (shoulder surgery) and spectacular sophomoreto-be J.T. Barrett (broken ankle). A four-word caveat should be added for all three players’ commitment statements: “at least for now.” So those headlines about a three-way quar- The One...Place to advertise!

And that could be a distraction, possibly a disruption. We’ll see. Another major consideration is finding replacements for some not inconsequential personnel: Meyer’s choice for team MVP, receiver Evan Spencer; tight end Jeff Heuerman on offense; linemen Michael Bennett and Steve Miller; linebacker Curtis Grant and shut-down corner Doran Grant. But in each situation, it appears there are quality players waiting in the wings. Three of the top recruits — wide receiver Johnnie Dixon, reputedly the fastest player on the roster, linebacker Kyler Berger and cornerback Marshon Lattimore — were injured and redshirted. If healthy, they’ll jump right back into the battle for spots on the two-deep. One other notable absence is one of the architects of Ohio State’s offense, coordinator and quarterbacks coach Tom Herman. He took the Houston job last month, and will be replaced by Nebraska coordinator Tim Beck. Herman was invaluable, but it’s Meyer’s system. The Buckeyes added a defensive coordinator, Chris Ash, a year ago and that turned out fine, with the defense revamped by Ash continually coming up big down the stretch. That’s about it, however, for changes, losses and possible problem areas. Championship-game MVP Ezekiel Elliott, leading receiver Michael Thomas and everybody else on both lines, at linebacker and in the secondary, is returning. “I wonder what they’ll question now,” Thomas said in the celebratory locker room. “It’s a blessing to be in this situation, this position. I felt we deserve it 100 percent. And we’ll be back next year.” Of course, Meyer is one of the sport’s pre-eminent recruiters. Less than 12 hours after hoisting the CFP trophy, he was talking about chasing potential Buckeyes on Thursday. Ohio State could fuel impending Big Ten renaissance By Luke Meredith Associated Press Call your local representatives: 740-446-2342 740-992-2155 304-675-1333 60558683 Now he will make visits as the coach of the national champions. “Oh, the door’s open,” the three-time national championship coach said of the reception from recruits in the wake of a title. “You move to the front of the line.” So the deck seems stacked. Certainly, there’s no doubt that the talent level is high. Ohio State loses some of the team’s best leaders, but every team deals with that. And Meyer and his staff will be on the lookout for complacency. Safety Tyvis Powell, the defensive player of the game on Monday night, doesn’t duck from the high expectations. “After getting a taste for it, we know the things we have to do to get here,” he said. “All we basically have to continue that culture and keep that same intensity and carry it over to the next season and we should be able to come here again.” Then he grinned as he watched his teammates dancing around him as the party got started. Ohio State’s thrashing of Oregon in the title game was more than just an ego boost for the Big Ten. It may have also signaled an impending renaissance for a league that looked finished four months ago. The Big Ten was the only league in the country to beat three ranked teams in bowl games — and that was before Ohio State’s victory over the Ducks. The conference was also the only one with two teams in the top five of the final poll released Tuesday. The Buckeyes were a unanimous No. 1, and Michigan State was tied for fifth after stunning Baylor in the Cotton Bowl. And the recent influx of high-profile coaches like Ohio State’s Urban Meyer and Michigan’s Jim Harbaugh could have the Big Ten poised for big things in the years to come. “I do think there’s a little bit of a reset. With the strength of the coaches, that’s a factor,” Big Ten commissioner Jim Delany said. The argument over whether the conference has finally caught up to the SEC, the Big 12 and the Pac-12 will continue all offseason. In September, it wasn’t much of an argument. On one weekend, Virginia Tech stunned the Buckeyes, Oregon throttled the Spartans and Notre Dame embarrassed Michigan. Many experts declared that the conference was out of the running for a playoff spot. What a difference a few months make. Michigan just committed roughly $35 million to Jim Harbaugh. Michigan State has won the Big Ten title game, the Rose Bowl and the Cotton in the past 13 months. New coaches at Wisconsin (Paul Chryst) and Nebraska (Mike Riley) could push those perennial league contenders over the hump, and Jerry Kill has things looking up at Minnesota. Don’t forget Penn State. The sanctions are ending and the Nittany Lions look ready to rebound under James Franklin. In the near future, all those programs will probably be chasing the Buckeyes. Ohio State is set to bring back the majority of its starters and could have three proven starting quarterbacks; Cardale Jones, J.T. Barrett and Braxton Miller. Harbaugh’s track record suggests that Michigan could be back in the national spotlight sooner than later. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
