The home of Billy and LaTanya Smith on 13th St. began to go up in flames around 7:30 a.m. Saturday, Jan. 18. In addition to Billy and LaTanya, three of their children were in the home as it caught fire. Somehow all five made it out but three of the children were critically burned and transported to Cabell Huntington Hospital and then to hospitals in Columbus, Ohio and Cincinnati, Ohio. Unfortunately, the youngest child, Braxton, 11, later died as a result of his injuries, according to the family. As of Monday afternoon, one child was being treated for burns at a Columbus hospital, another in Cincinnati, again according to the family. One child is an adult, the other a 14-year old male. In addition to the horrendous loss of life, the Smith’s home was also completely destroyed. The cause of the fire remains undetermined and the office of West Virginia State Fire Marshal has been called to investigate. The word about the fire and the family’s plight spread fast via traditional media outlets and social media this week- end. By Saturday night a special gathering was held at Point Pleasant Junior/Senior High School to pray and raise money for the Smith family. In addition, Peoples Bank set up a special benefit fund to assist the Smiths with donations of cash and checks being accepted at any Peoples Bank location in the area. One hundred percent of the funds collected will go toward the family’s recovery. For information on donating to this fund, call 1-800-374-6123. There have been so many other offers of help, from selling red ribbons at Four Seasons Florists and Fruth Pharmacy, to collecting clothing. Tom Tom’s is donating a portion of food sales on Wednesday and Thursday and there’s a benefit spaghetti dinner from noon to 3 p.m., Sunday, Jan. 26 at PPJ/SHS. These are just a few of the events the Point Pleasant Register has been made aware of though no doubt, more are in the works.

Stephens, Ph.D. Stephens, an associate professor of African American Studies at Ohio University, spoke of King’s legacy, while discussing the pivotal landmark in African American history, the American resort town known of Idlewild, and its connection to the Civil Rights Movement. Stephens, a native of Detroit who is a nationally-known authority on Idlewild, has published numerous articles and scholarly works on the popular vacation spot and resort town in northwestern Michigan where African Americans were allowed to vacation and purchase property during the first half of the twentieth-century prior to the passage of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. With a unique cultural, intellectual, entertainment and social history that spans from 1912 through the first half of the twentieth century, Idlewild, Mich., according to Stephens, deserves a definite place within the discussion of the wider Civil Rights Movement. See KING | 3 POMEROY — During last week’s Pomeroy Village Council meeting residents, council members, the mayor and village administrator discussed the sale of lamp posts not being used by the village. During the meeting the question was brought up as to whether items sold by the village must be advertised no mater the value of the item. Village Administrator Paul Hellman stated that items less than $1,000 would not have to be advertised for bids. At the request of Village Council President Phil Ohlinger, Village Solicitor Chris Tenoglia issued an opinion on the matter late last week. In the opinion obtained by The Daily Sentinel, Tenoglia addressed the question of “who is allowed to sell property and what are the restrictions that apply to those sales.” Tenoglia referenced Ohio Revised Code (ORC) 721.15 which deals specifically with the disposition of property unneeded, obsolete or unfit for municipal purposes. The ORC states that, “Personal property not needed for municipal purposes, the estimated value of which is less than one thousand dollars, may be sold by the board or officer having supervision or management of that property. If the estimated value of that property is one thousand dollars or more, it shall be sold only when authorized by an ordinance of the legislative authority of the municipal corporation and approved by the board, officer, or director having supervision or management of that property.” According to Mayor Jackie Welker, a total of five poles were sold at a cost of $125 each. He also noted that there was some confusion with the payment being made to the village for the poles. Welker stated that a contractor was hired by the purchasers to pick up and install the poles, which was done, with three poles installed and the remaining two in the garage of the purchasers. The individual purchasing the poles did pay the contractor for the poles, but the money was not paid to the village at that time. Welker noted that the money is to be paid to the village by Jan. 24. During the council meeting, Hellman stated that the poles were obsolete and did not match the ones currently in use by the village.

Wolfson knows the perils of judges forcing social changes on a population that isn’t ready for them - he filed the first successful gay marriage lawsuit in the 1990s in Hawaii, and the backlash against that case convinced him to focus on the political process rather than litigation alone. That strategy has helped lead to a stunning turnaround in public opinion on gay marriage and a series of electoral wins that laid the groundwork for the recent court rulings. Now the movement faces its greatest test as foes complain that the recent decisions have leapt ahead of the public in those deeply red states and risk creating another Roe v Wade, where courts settle a divisive social issue but sow the seeds for prolonged conflict. In both states, elected officials largely greeted the rulings with fury and gay rights groups are bracing for a series of proposals in the state legislature that could target their community. “There’s a widespread sense of surprise and umbrage that one judge could do that,” said Paul Mero of the Sutherland Institute, a conservative think tank in Utah. “I’m disappointed that any single lower court judge thinks they can overrule millennia of custom, tradition and law.” John Williamson, who wrote the ballot measure that was overturned in Oklahoma last week, said that as a Christian he will never accept the legitimacy of gay marriage. “But in states that by a vote of the people have approved that, I say ‘OK, they got what they want. You have a majority of the people there, and if the minority doesn’t like it, they can move to Oklahoma,” said Williamson, a former state senate president. “But now what can we do?” Wolfson and other gay activists say they are working to minimize those complaints. Wolfson’s group, Freedom to Marry, is scouring Oklahoma and Utah for same-sex couples who can put a human face on the new rights. “We have learned the lesson that political organizing and public education must accompany” court wins, he said. Since it began two decades ago, the campaign for gay marriage has walked a delicate tightrope between relying on the courts and old-fashioned shoe leather political persuasion. In the case where Wolfson was cocounsel, the Hawaii Supreme Court in 1993 ruled that gay couples must be granted the right to marry. That was followed by a voter-approved constitutional amendment that said marriage could only be defined by the legislature, as well as the federal Defense of Marriage Act. Other states, too, rushed to outlaw gay marriage. In 2008, California voters passed Proposition 8, a ballot measure barring gay marriage that received strong financial backing from members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Slowly, the tide turned. In 2012, gay marriage supporters won three ballot battles to legalize same-sex marriage and turned back a fourth to bar it. A lawsuit challenging Proposition 8 reached the U.S. Supreme Court. Shortly before the court announced its decision, Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg raised eyebrows by giving a speech that criticized Roe v Wade for stopping what could have been a more effective state-by-state push to legalize abortion. When the ruling came on Proposition 8 and a related challenge to the Defense of Marriage Act, the court pointedly did not legalize gay marriage nationwide. But its finding that the Defense of Marriage Act violated the 14th Amendment sparked the flurry of litigation that led to the December ruling in Utah and last week’s in Oklahoma City. Both of those decisions are being appealed to the 10th Circuit in Denver. �Tuesday, January 21, 2014 The Daily Sentinel s Page 3 www.mydailysentinel.com Midkiff promoted to Health Department Administrator Staff Report tdsnews@civitasmedia.com POMEROY — The Meigs County Board of Health (BOH) recently announced the promotion of Courtney C.

Longtime newspaper carrier dies By Beth Sergent bsergent@civitasmedia.com POINT PLEASANT — Finding your newspaper in your paper box or in your driveway each morning can often be taken for granted, until it goes away. Henry William Elliott, 75, of Point Pleasant, a longtime newspaper carrier of the Point Pleasant Register, died on Jan. 19 at Cabell Huntington Hospital. Elliott began his career as a page maker with the local newspaper at the age of 15 back in the days before image setters and computer plate machines. Elliott then delivered newspapers in Mason County in the Point Pleasant, Leon, Henderson and Letart areas and had over 150 customers. Greg Weatherbee, regional manufacturing director for Civitas Media’s Ohio Valley Publishing (which includes the Point Pleasant Register), said for 30 years, Elliott never missed a night of work when the Register was a day paper. “That in of itself is impressive,” Weatherbee said. Elliott was a colorful character who was affectionately known as “dude” by most who knew him because he called everyone he met “dude” - whether man, woman or child. Weatherbee said since Elliott became unexpectedly ill last week, the vast majority of his customers called to check on him and were more concerned about his well being than getting their newspaper. Customers on Elliott’s route are cur- rently being serviced by OVP Circulation Manager Jessica Chason and OVP is actively seeking someone to take over the route permanently. However, as Weatherbee put it, there was really no replacing “dude” and that he was “one of a kind.” “We’re all saddened by his untimely passing and his family members are in our thoughts,” Weatherbee added. Funeral services for Elliot will be held at the Deal Funeral Home in Point Pleasant, on Wednesday, January 22, 2014, at 1 p.m., with Pastor Carl Swisher officiating. Burial will follow in the Lone Oak Cemetery also in Point Pleasant. Friends may visit the family at the funeral home on Tuesday evening, January 21, from 6-8 p.m. Township News Chester Township CHESTER TWP. — Alan Holter was elected President and Rodney Keller, Vice President, during the recent re-organizational meeting of the Chester Township Trustees.

Parades, marches and service projects honor MLK Photo submitted by Point Pleasant Volunteer Fire Department This house on 13th St. caught fire Saturday morning, injuring five people. One of the victims, an 11-year old boy, later died as a result of his injuries. Fire From Page 1 For this reason, Billy’s younger brother Chris, who does IT work for Novelis, a company in Atlanta, Ga., is currently setting up a personalized website for his family which will be the central location point for those wanting information on how to help and information on benefits, etc. As of Monday evening, Chris was still working on the site and when launched (soon) the address will be released to the media, including here at the Point Pleasant Register. Novelis is also taking up a collection for the Smith family. By Sunday evening, it seemed everyone in Mason County and surrounding areas had changed their Facebook profile picture to a red ribbon to support and pray for the Smiths as a sign of solidarity and as a display of how a small community rallies when there are those in need. On the scene of the fire Saturday were firefighters with Point Pleasant, Gallipolis, Ohio and emergency service personnel with Mason County EMS, the Mason County Sheriff’s Department and the Point Pleasant Police Department. ATLANTA (AP) — Hundreds of people filled Ebenezer Baptist Church in Atlanta on Monday to remember and reflect on the legacy of Martin Luther King Jr. The service at the church where King preached featured prayers, songs, music and speakers. It was one of many events, including parades, marches and community service projects, across the country to honor King, an Atlanta native. Georgia Gov. Nathan Deal said there were not many states that can boast a native son that merits a national holiday, but added: “we Georgians can.” Deal said this year he would work with state legislators to find an appropriate way to honor the 1965 Nobel Peace Prize winner at the Georgia Capitol, which drew a standing ovation from the audience. He did not give any specifics. Civil rights leaders have suggested a statue at the state Capitol. “I think that more than just saying kind thoughts about him we ought to take action ourselves,” said Deal, a Republican. “That’s how we embed truth into our words. I think it’s time for Georgia’s leaders to follow in Dr. King’s footsteps and take action, too.” Deal also touched on criminal justice reforms his administration has tried to make, including drug and mental health courts and community-based services to keep nonviolent criminals and young people out of prison. Vice President Joe Biden addressed the National Action Network’s MLK Breakfast, urging them to protect voting rights. “Let me remind you all, it all rests ultimately on the ballot box, so keep the faith, or as my grandmom would say, ‘No, Joey, go spread the faith.’ It’s time to spread it,” Biden said. In Ann Arbor, Mich., activist and entertainer Harry Belafonte planned to deliver the keynote address for the 28th annual Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. Symposium at the University of Michigan’s Hill Auditorium. In Memphis, Tenn., where King was assassinated, an audio recording of an interview with King was played at the National Civil Rights Museum. The recording sheds new light on a phone call President John F. Kennedy made to King’s wife more than 50 years ago. Historians generally agree Kennedy’s phone call to Coretta Scott King expressing concern over her husband’s arrest in October 1960 — and Robert Kennedy’s work behind the scenes to get King released — helped JFK win the White House. The reel-to-reel audiotape was discovered by a man cleaning out his father’s attic. The father, an insurance salesman, had interviewed King for a book he was writing, but never completed it and stored the recording with other interviews he’d done. At the Muhammad Ali Center in Louisville, Ky., the centered showed King’s “I Have a Dream” speech on the hour. In August, tens of thousands of Americans visited the National Mall to mark the 50th anniversary of the March on Washington and King’s “I Have a Dream” speech, which he gave from the steps of the Lincoln Memorial. Several people who were scheduled to speak at that event but were cut because there was not enough time were invited to speak at Ebenezer. King was born Jan. 15, 1929, and he would’ve been 85 years old. The federal holiday is the third Monday in January and has been celebrated since 1986. King From Page 1 “[Idlewild] deserves critical attention because it acknowledges the importance of grassroots organizing and the history of black institution building within the structure of twentieth-century American society and the Civil Rights Movement,” Stephens said. “Idlewild was indeed making history as new negro elites used it as a cultural and intellectual center to discuss the issues of the day during the 1920s and 30s. Thirty years later it was used to elevate, what I am calling, an ‘African American Civil Rights performance culture’ during the post-World War II era.” In his discussion of Idlewild and the questions surrounding the importance of the black institution and the lessons that can be learned from it, Stephens gave a brief history of the Civil Rights Movement, discussing King’s role in the movement, prior to and in the over four decades since his death. “On the night before his assassination in 1968, King delivered a speech in support of hundreds of striking sanitation and garbage workers in Memphis, Tennessee. There he prophesied his death and predicted the future, stating, ‘I may not get there with you, but I want you to know tonight that we as a people will get to the promised land,’” Stephens said. “Refusing to give up hope, King went on to say, ‘It is my hope that as the negro plunges deeper into the quest for freedom, we will plunge deeper into the quest for non-violence. As a race, we must work passionately for first-class citizenship.’ And, finally, ‘we stand in life at midnight. We are always on the threshold of a new dawn.’” According to Stephens, with the challenges that the nation has undergone and the continuing struggles that many African American communities face, the study of the foremost vacation destination for the black middle class during the early twentieth century is as important today as ever when discussing civil rights, race, class and the preservation of the nation’s history. “Looking back, at over four decades of memory about the legacy of Dr. King and the Civil Rights Movement, the struggles, challenges and successes this nation witnessed, warrants a new sense of urgency and a reason to understand the importance of the role black institutions serve, such as Idlewild,” Stephens said. One of the only places in the country where African Americans could vacation, Idlewild’s popularity began to wane during the mid-1960s with the passage of the Civil Rights Act that opened up other resorts to African Americans. Despite this setback, according to Stephens, Idlewild is still preserved today as a place of historical significance for young- er generations seeking to discover their heritage and learn the importance of the role that black institutions have served and are continuing to serve. “Idlewild was a viable black institution that epitomized the spirit of the movement. Now a national landmark, it demonstrates African American entrepreneurship and how they showcases 60 years of independence as a unique northern, rural, resort town,” Stephens said. “In a so-called post-racial society, there remains a need for black, viable institutions and places like Idlewild, Michigan, to nurture and develop black talent for the benefit of future generations for which King had a dream.” �The Daily Sentinel OPINION Page 4 TUESDAY, JANUARY 21, 2014 PBS’ ‘Salinger’ has more on war, teen relationship UN withdraws invite to Iran to attend Syria talks By Hillel Italie AP Writers AP National Writer NEW YORK — After making headlines with his book and movie about J.D. Salinger, Shane Salerno is ready for his final stop: the director’s cut on PBS. On Tuesday night, PBS stations will air the third piece of the deal Salerno reached last year for a feature documentary, book and TV documentary about the late author of “The Catcher in the Rye.” The PBS edition of “Salinger” runs 135 minutes, 15 minutes longer than the film released in theaters in September, and serves as the 200th installment of the “American Masters” series. Salerno’s movie and book, co-authored by David Shields, caught the attention of the literary world by providing extensive details of at least five possible new Salinger works, from more stories about the fictional Glass family to further reports on “Catcher” narrator Holden Caulfield. (Salinger’s publisher, Little, Brown and Company, has declined comment). Salerno’s project, which he worked on for a decade, also included numerous photographs of Salinger that had never been published; the fullest account ever of his service in World War II; and the first-ever interviews with a woman, Jean Miller, with whom Salinger formed an intense bond while she was a teen and he in his early 30s. The author drew upon their relationship for his short story “For Esme — With Love and Squalor.” Salerno, who besides “Salinger” has been busy working with James Cameron on the screenplay for the next “Avatar” movie, recently answered a few questions via email. ____ Q: The PBS edition of “Salinger” is 15 minutes longer than the theatrical release. What are the major changes? A: There are a few surprises I want to keep under wraps but here are some major changes: There is important new World War II material, including an extended version of Salinger’s first day of combat, which was D-Day, and other brutal battles that forged him. World War II is critical to understanding Salinger. It was the transformative trauma of his life and is the ghost in the machine of all of Salinger’s stories. There is a pivotal new relationship with a 16-year-old girl, which was a consistent pattern in Salinger’s life, and viewers will learn how a betrayal in that relationship served as the first brick in the wall of silence Salinger built. One of the key participants speaks for the first time. The changes run throughout the film and provide a deeper understanding of Salinger. ___ Q: Why make a different version for PBS? A: When we sold the project we announced that we were exploring a longer version for “American Masters.” The film finished in the top 10 highest grossing documentaries of the year, the book (published by Simon & Schuster) was a New York Times best seller and the film has had a very successful run on Netflix, so I didn’t want the “American Masters” broadcast to be simply a television re-airing of what has already been seen. ___ Q: The book and movie inspired very strong reaction. Some critics praised them as revelatory and fascinating, especially about his World War II years and possible new books. Others said the tone was sensationalistic, exploitive and would have offended Salinger. A: There was universal agreement that the material I found was unprecedented, exhaustively documented and answered questions people have wanted to know for 50 years. As for Salinger, it’s not the documentarian’s responsibility to consider whether his subject would approve or disapprove of the work. I spent 10 years of my life on this because I was commit- The Daily Sentinel Reader Services Correction Policy Our main concern in all stories is to be accurate.

I have enormous respect for Salinger as an artist but I reject the idea that he deserves an entirely different standard for biography than Martin Luther King, John F. Kennedy, Thomas Jefferson or Oskar Schindler. If you were making a film about any of those men you would tell the great accomplishments of their life as well as personal failures, and that’s what I did with Salinger. Some film critics criticized us for not examining Salinger’s work in greater detail but there were strict legal restrictions that prevented that. The 700-page book I wrote with David Shields is filled with literary analysis, while the film evokes viscerally for the viewer what it felt like to be J.D. Salinger during the most critical moments of his life. The goal of both projects was to separate the man and artist from the myths about him, to tell the real story of his life and to explore the cost of producing the kind of art that he did. I’m grateful that those who knew Salinger closely have said publicly that the film captured his extraordinarily complex personality. ___ Q: What do you plan to do with some of the archival material, letters, photographs, etc.? A: I don’t know. I have so much material. I have been contacted by universities and libraries and I am considering what I want to do, if anything. ____ Q: Are you still receiving material? If so, what are you being sent? Any plans to make it public? A: Yes, I continue to be flooded with new material from around the world. The question is what to do with it. My instinct is that I have spent 10 years on Salinger and it’s time to move on. I’m also completely focused on “Avatar” for the foreseeable future. Ryan Lucas and Zeina Karam GENEVA — A last-minute U.N. invitation for Iran to join this week’s Syria peace talks threw the long-awaited Geneva conference into doubt Monday, forcing U.N. chief Ban Ki-moon to rescind his offer after the opposition threatened to boycott. With the invitation withdrawn, the main Western-backed Syrian opposition group said it would attend the talks, which it said should aim to establish a transitional government with full executive powers “in which killers and criminals do not participate.” The surprise invitation, extended Sunday by the U.N. secretary-general, set off a flurry of diplomatic activity to salvage the talks. The U.S. said the offer should be rescinded, and the opposition threatened to skip the event entirely. The conference is set to begin Wednesday in the Swiss luxury resort city of Montreux, with high-ranking delegations from the United States, Russia and close to 40 other countries attending. Face-to-face negotiations between the Syrian government and its opponents — the first of the uprising — are to start Friday in Geneva. The uproar over Iran’s invitation threatened to scuttle the entire event. The Syrian National Coalition, which had voted late Saturday to attend after months of rancorous debate, issued an ultimatum, saying that Iran must commit publicly within hours to withdraw its “troops and militias” from Syria and abide by a 2012 roadmap to establish a transitional government. Otherwise, the group said, the U.N. should withdraw its invitation for Tehran to take part. The confusion surrounding the Iranian invitation underscored the tenuous nature of diplomatic effort to end the bloody conflict, which has morphed from peaceful protests to a vicious civil war with outside powers backing rebels who are fighting not only the government but rival insurgents as well. It is not clear what exactly motivated Ban to issue the invitation, but it came hours after he said he had received assurances from Tehran that it accepted the premise of the talks on Syria, which has been ruled by President Bashar Assad’s family since 1970. Iran is Assad’s strongest regional ally and has supplied his government with advisers, money and materiel since the Syrian uprising began in 2011. The Islamic Republic’s allies, most notably the Lebanese Shiite militant group Hezbollah, have also gone to Syria to help bolster Assad’s forces. The last-minute decision appeared to take the U.S. and its European allies by surprise. An Iranian statement said Iran had accepted the invitation “without accepting any pre-conditions.” Ban said he was “deeply disappointed” by Iran’s statements Monday. Senior U.S. officials said Iran has not met the criteria to participate in the conference and its invitation must be withdrawn un- Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

All letters are subject to editing, must be signed and include address and telephone number. No unsigned letters will be published. Letters should be in good taste, addressing issues, not personalities. “Thank You” letters will not be accepted for publication. less it fully and publicly endorses the aims of the meeting. Speaking to reporters in a conference call, the officials said public statements from Iran fall “well short” of what is require for Tehran’s participation, adding that they expect the U.N. to reevaluate and reverse its decision unless Iran changes course. The officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss the matter using their names. France, another strong supporter of the opposition coalition, took the same line, with the country’s U.N. ambassador, Gerard Araud, saying Iran “must accept explicitly” the terms of the roadmap. In New York, Russia’s U.N. ambassador Vitaly Churkin said “of course” both the U.S. and Russia were consulted about the Iran invitation, and he said that if the Syrian opposition boycotts the talks, “that would be a big mistake.” In Tehran, Iran’s Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Marzieh Afkham was quoted by the official IRNA news agency saying that Iran does not recognize the Geneva roadmap because it did not attend the conference that drafted it. Saudi Arabia, a main backer of the Syrian opposition and a bitter regional rival of Tehran, also said Iran is not qualified to attend the conference but stopped short of threatening to boycott. The negotiations aim to broker a political resolution to a conflict that has killed more than 130,000 people, displaced millions and put entire towns and neighborhoods under military siege in the worst humanitarian crisis in decades. Diplomats and political leaders acknowledge that the prospects of achieving such a lofty goal any time soon are slim at best — with the opposition riveted by internal divisions. Infighting between rebels in northern Syria has killed more than 1,000 people in the past month. Both the government and the opposition have suffered enormous losses, but even now, neither side appears desperate enough to budge from its entrenched position. At this point, just getting the antagonists into the same room to start what is expected to be a long process that could drag on for years would be perceived as a success. Invitations to the one-day meeting of foreign ministers had been subject to approval by the initiating states, Russia and the United States, but the two countries had been at an impasse over Iran. Syria’s crisis began in the heyday of the Arab Spring uprisings that swept away authoritarian leaders in Egypt, Tunisia and Yemen. Unlike the others, Syria’s leadership responded to largely peaceful protests for political reform with a withering crackdown. That slowly forced the opposition to take up arms and gave birth to a civil war that has also spawned a proxy battle between regional Shiite Muslim power Iran and Sunni heavyweight Saudi Arabia. The cumulative effect of the war has been disastrous. Syria lies in ruins, its economy shattered, its rich social fabric shredded.

Iran, US, Europe start implementing nuclear deal TEHRAN, Iran (AP) — Iran unplugged banks of centrifuges involved in its most sensitive uranium enrichment work on Monday, prompting the United States and European Union to partially lift economic sanctions as a landmark deal aimed at easing concerns over Iran’s nuclear program went into effect. The mutual actions — curbing atomic work in exchange for some sanctions relief — start a six-month clock for Tehran and the world powers to negotiate a final accord that the Obama administration and its European allies say will be intended to ensure Iran cannot build a nuclear weapon. In the meantime, the interim deal puts limits on Iran’s program — though it continues low levels of uranium enrichment. Tehran denies its nuclear program is intended to produce a bomb. The payoff to Iran is an injection of billions of dollars into its crippled economy over the next six months from the suspension of some sanctions — though other sanctions remain in place. In part a reflection of a thaw between Washington and Tehran, the moves coincidentally occurred on the 33rd anniversary of the end of the Iran hostage crisis. The holding of 52 Americans for 444 days by radical Iranian students that ended Jan. 20, 1981 was followed by more than three decades of U.S.-Iranian enmity that only began to ease last year with signs that Iran was ready to meet U.S. demands and scale back its nuclear activities. British Foreign Secretary William Hague called the deal “an important milestone” — but not the ultimate goal. “It’s important that other sanctions are maintained and the pressure is maintained for a comprehensive and final settlement on the Iranian nuclear issue,” Hague said. The Europeans are aiming to start negotiations on a final deal in February, though no date or venue has been agreed on yet. Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif said Saturday that Tehran is ready to enter talks as soon as the interim deal goes into force. In the first step of the interim accord, Iranian state TV said authorities disconnected cascades of centrifuges producing 20-percent enriched uranium at the Natanz facility in central Iran. The broadcast said international inspectors were on hand to witness the stoppage before leaving to monitor suspension of enrichment at Fordo, another site in central Iran. Iran also started Monday to convert part of its stockpile of 20-percent enriched uranium to oxide, which can be used to produce nuclear fuel but is difficult to reconvert for weapons use, the official IRNA news agency said. After receiving independent confirmation of the steps from the United Nations watchdog, the International Atomic Energy Agency, EU foreign ministers in Brussels approved the partial sanctions suspension. The White House also announced the suspension of some American sanctions on Iran. “These actions represent the first time in nearly a decade that Iran has verifiably enacted measures to halt progress on its nuclear program, and roll it back in key respects,” White House press secretary Jay Carney said in a statement. He said Iran is also providing U.N. inspectors with increased transparency, including more frequent and intrusive inspections. “Taken together, these concrete actions represent an important step forward,” he said. Under the deal reached in November in Geneva, Iran agreed to halt its 20 percent enrichment program but continue enrichment up to 5 percent. Iranian Vice President Ali Akbar Salehi said his country has a total of 196 kilograms (432 pounds) of 20 percent enriched uranium and will convert half of it to oxide over a period of six months. The remaining half will be diluted to a level below 5 percent level within three months. Uranium enriched to a high degree — above 90 percent — can be used to build a nuclear warhead. Enriched below 5 percent, it can power an electricity-generating reactor, and at 20 percent it can power reactors used to produce medical isotopes. The enrichment is done by spinning the uranium in a series of centrifuges. Iran will also refrain from commissioning its under-construction 40 megawatt heavy water reactor in Arak, central Iran. That reactor can produce plutonium, another route to building a warhead. Under the deal, the number of IAEA inspectors in Iran will “roughly double,” said Tero Varjoranta, an agency deputy director general. That would increase the agency’s presence on the ground to a maximum of eight inspectors in Iran at any time. IAEA inspectors will have daily access to Iran’s enrichment facilities, a senior diplomat familiar with details of the implementation plan said, speaking on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to discuss details. In exchange for the nuclear curbs, Iran receives a halt to new sanctions and easing of some existing sanctions. Measures targeting petrochemical products, gold and other precious metals, the auto industry, passenger plane parts and services will be lifted immediately. The Geneva deal allows Iran to continue exporting crude oil in its current level, which is reported to be about 1 million barrels a day. Senior U.S. administration officials have put the total relief figure at some $7 billion of an estimated $100 billion in Iranian assets in foreign banks. Iran is to receive the first $550 million installment of $4.2 billion of its assets blocked overseas on Feb. 1. Iran’s hard-liners have called the deal a “poisoned chalice”, highlighting the difficult task President Hasan Rouhani faces in selling the accord to skeptics. Hard-line media denounced the bargain. The Vatan-e-Emrooz daily printed in black Monday instead of its usual colors, a sign of sorrow and mourning. It declared the deal a “nuclear holocaust” and called it a gift to Israel’s Prime Minister Benyamin Netanyahu. “Today, Netanyahu is the happiest person in the world,” it said. However, the Israeli prime minister has made the opposite argument: He says the deal gives Iran too much for too few concessions. Dahlburg reported from Brussels. Associated Press writers Darlene Superville in Washington and Juergen Baetz in Brussels contributed to this report. US to begin easing economic sanctions on Iran WASHINGTON (AP) — The United States will begin easing economic sanctions on Iran after it began shutting down its most sensitive nuclear work on Monday, the White House said. Iran’s move was part of a landmark deal struck late last year with the U.S., five other world powers and the European Union to ease concerns over Tehran’s nuclear program and provide for the partial removal of some of the economic sanctions that have crippled the Iranian economy. Iran has insisted that its nuclear program was for peaceful purposes only. The United Nations nuclear agency, the International Atomic Energy Agency, confirmed Monday that higher-level uranium enrichment at a facility in central Iran had stopped, an important step among others that together provided officials with the evidence needed to conclude that Iran was holding up its end of the agreement. The White House, which has vowed to prevent Iran from developing nuclear weapons, hailed Iran’s actions as “an important step forward.” “These actions represent the first time in nearly a decade that Iran has verifiably enacted measures to halt progress on its nuclear program, and roll it back in key respects,” White House press secretary Jay Carney said in a statement. “Iran has also begun to provide the IAEA with increased transparency into the Iranian nuclear program, through more frequent and intrusive inspections and the expanded provision of information to the IAEA. Taken together, these concrete actions represent an important step forward.” The European Union announced earlier Monday that it, too, was suspending some of the sanctions it has imposed on Iran. Carney said the five world powers — the United Kingdom, France, Germany, Russia and China — also would begin providing relief to Iran. At the same time, Carney said the group will continue its aggressive enforcement of sanctions that will remain in effect during the next six months, the period that Iran and the world powers will use to negotiate a final deal. In a conference call with reporters, senior Obama administration officials noted the IAEA’s statement confirming that Iran was implementing initially agreed-upon requirements in what one official described as “a meaningful step forward.” A second official said that Iran will not necessarily now largely “be open for business,” emphasizing that the U.S. would reach out to its counterparts to remind them of the continuing sanctions. Regarding the desire of some in Congress to im- pose harsher sanctions, one of the officials said that Iran is starting to BROADCAST 3 (WSAZ) 4 (WTAP) 6 (WSYX) 7 (WOUB) 8 (WCHS) 10 (WBNS) 11 (WVAH) 12 (WPBY) 13 (WOWK) CABLE 6 PM 6:30 WSAZ News 3 WTAP News at Six ABC 6 News at 6 Global 3000 NBC Nightly News NBC Nightly News ABC World News Nightly Business Report Eyewitness ABC World News at 6 News 10TV News CBS Evening at 6 p.m. News The Big Bang Two and a Theory Half Men BBC World Legislature News: Today America 13 News at CBS Evening 6:00 p.m. News 6 PM 6:30 a diplomatic matter they were not authorized to talk about by name.

The host RedStorm survived a stumble late in regulation and used an 11-0 run in the second overtime period to pull away for a wild 132121 victory over the Tigers at the Newt Oliver Arena. Rio Grande improved to 13-5 overall and 6-1 in the MSC with the win - their sixth consecutive triumph.

Mid-South Conference officials could not immediately confirm if the game was the highest-scoring contest in league history, but the 253 combined points are the most in any MSC game dating back to the 200607 season. Since the 2006-07 campaign, 204 points represented the highest combined total in an MSC contest and the total had been reached twice. Georgetown defeated Pikeville, 10599, in conference tournament play on Mar. 9, 2008 and Georgetown also posted a 104-100 win over Bluefield last season on Feb. 16, 2013. The contest is the highest-scoring game in Rio Grande history, surpassing the 248 combined points scored in a 157-91 home loss to Cedarville on Nov. 7, 2009. Saturday’s shootout was also the first time that a Rio men’s team played in a game where both squads surpassed the 100-point mark since a 107-100 loss to Walsh University on Jan. 31, 2009. “Both teams played hard. Both teams had different guys step up and make plays. It had to be fun to watch,” French said.

The Lady Eagles (12-0) never trailed in the contest, as the guests stormed out to an 8-0 lead two minutes into regulation before securing a 14-5 edge after one quarter of play. The Lady Patriots (9-5) — who went over six minutes without a field goal to start the game — pulled to within five points on three separate occasions in the second canto, thanks in large part to hitting four trifectas and a 6-of-7 shooting performance during that span. EHS, however, opened up its 26-21 lead with a 12-4 surge over the final three minutes of the first half — allowing the Green and Gold to secure a 38-25 cushion at the break.

The Marauders (6-5) — who dropped their second straight decision — fell behind 5-0 in the opening moments of the game, but the guests rallied back to knot things up at 9-all and again at 12all with 2:30 left in the opening quarter. MHS, however, was never closer the rest of the way, as the Lancers (7-6) followed with a small 6-4 run to secure a slim 18-16 edge after eight minutes of play.

No. 8 Campbellsville too much for RedStorm women By Randy Payton URG Sports Information RIO GRANDE, Ohio — A typical college basketball game consists of two halves and the University of Rio Grande women’s basketball team failed to put two great halves together on Saturday afternoon, as they fell to No. 8 Campbellsville University 80-64 at Newt Oliver Arena. The RedStorm fell to 14-5 overall and 3-4 in Mid-South Conference play. Rio Grande also remained winless in four outings against ranked opponents this season. The 64 points scored by Rio Grande was a seasonlow, surpassing the previous low of 72 points scored in a loss to West Virginia State on November 19. A bucket by freshman forward Alexis Payne (Deep Water, WV) with 11 minutes left in the first half gave Rio Grande an 18-14 lead, but it also marked the final time in the contest that the RedStorm would hold the advantage. The Tigers embarked on a 20-6 run to take a 34-24 lead with just over four minutes remaining in the half. Rio Grande didn’t fold, however, and scored nine of the next 11 points to cut the deficit to just three, 3633, at halftime.

But Campbellsville (7-9, 2-6) stormed back down the stretch behind freshman guard Miles Rice, who connected on a trio of three-point goals in the final minute and three free throws with 3.5 seconds left to knot the score at 101-101 and force the first overtime period. A conventional threepoint by Rice just 55 seconds into the overtime game the Tigers their first lead since the 5:27 mark of the first half, but Rio eventually rallied again to tie the game at 111-111 on a pair of free throws by junior forward Josh Reagan (Cleveland, OH) with 45.9 seconds left and - after a would-be game-winning 35-foot heave by Campbellsville’s Eric Gaines went in and out of the hoop as time expired - the game moved into a second extra session. Rio senior guard Ricky Tisdale (Bolivar, TN) and Rice exchanged threepointers inside the opening minute of the second overtime, but the RedStorm then took control with their 11-0 run over the next 3:08 to finally settle the issue once and for all. Senior guard Jermaine Warmack (Orange, N.J.) had four points during the victory-clinching spurt, while Hertz had three points and the duo of Tisdale and sophomore guard D.D. Joiner (Columbus, OH) added two points each during the run. Reagan had a teamhigh 36 points and 13 rebounds for the RedStorm before fouling out with 36.1 seconds left in the first overtime.

Hertz added 12 points and 10 rebounds and Tisdale also netted 10 points for Rio Grande, which shot 48 percent from the field (38-for-79), 44 percent from three-point range (12-for-27) and connected on 44 of its 51 free throw attempts (86.3%). The RedStorm also enjoyed a 50-37 edge in rebounding and committed just 13 turnovers. Rice poured in a gamehigh 41 points - 29 of which came in the second half and overtime periods to lead Campbellsville in a losing cause, while Elliott Young had a career-high 23 points, nine rebounds and three blocked shots.

Eagles From Page 6 ing the Dayton signee to surpass Dennis Eichenger as the school’s most prolific scorer. Eichenger’s record of 1,486 career points has also stood for close to 40 years. The second accomplishment came just before the buzzer, as Parker hauled in a long pass on a fast break and gained control of herself before releasing a fivefooter from the left block. Parker’s field goal allowed her to become the eighth girl in program history to reach quadruple digits for a career. Parker — an Alderson Broaddus signee — spoke about what it meant to join the likes of Burdette, Jessica Karr, Jessica Brannon, Valerie Karr, Morgan Weber, Erin Weber and Kasey Turley on such a distinguished list. “First off, I couldn’t have done this without my teammates. They’ve been here with me this whole time, and this is as much about them as it is me. It’s also kind of nice to know that it’s done,” Parker said. “It’s humbling to join those other great players on the wall, but it’s even better that this happened in a win.” Parker entered the game needing six points to reach the 1K milestone, while Burdette needed 15 points to tie Eichenger on the all-time scoring list. Parker had knowledge of what she needed coming in, but the daughter of EHS coach John Burdette did not. “I had no idea because dad told me during a timeout. He said ‘congratulations, you just became the school’s all-time leading scorer on that last basket.’ That was it,” Jenna said. “I know it’s a big deal and it is pretty cool, but honestly, I’m just glad we won.” Eastern made 14-of-29 shot attempts in the first half, which included a 5-of-8 effort from behind the arc. The guests also outrebounded Olentangy Liberty by a 13-10 margin, including a 4-0 edge on the offensive glass. OLHS made 7-of-13 shots in the opening 16 minutes, including a 5-of-8 performance from three-point range. The Lady Patriots also committed 10 turnovers by halftime, compared to four by EHS. The Lady Eagles forced seven turnovers while going on a 19-6 charge in the third for a 57-31 advantage, then closed regulation with 13-7 spurt from its bench to wrap up the 32-point triumph — Eastern’s largest lead of the night. The Green and Gold finished the night 26-of-59 from the field for 44 percent, including an 8-of19 effort from three-point range for 42 percent. EHS claimed a 31-20 advantage on the boards — including a 10-2 edge on the offensive end — and committed 13 turnovers overall. Burdette — who sat out all of the fourth quarter — led the Lady Eagles with a game-high 23 points, followed by Parker with 13 markers. Katie Keller and Maddie Rigsby were next with nine points apiece, while Laura Pullins chipped in a team-high seven markers off the bench. Erin Swatzel was next with five points, while Hannah Bailey and Hannah Barringer rounded out the scoring with two markers apiece. Eastern went 10-of12 at the free throw line for 83 percent. Olentangy Liberty — a Division I program with nearly eight times as many students as EHS — finished the evening 12-of-35 overall from the field for 34 percent, including a 5-of-13 effort from behind the arc for 38 percent. The hosts committed 22 turnovers and made 9-of-18 charity tosses for 50 percent. Kristen Levering and Madison King each paced the Lady Patriots with 10 points, followed by Alera Fisher with five points and Lauren Hafer with four markers. Following the game, sixth-year EHS coach John Burdette spoke about the win and all the events that led up to the end result. “We had a good team effort tonight. We had eight players score and we were pretty good on the defensive end of the floor,” Burdette said. “It was good to play against someone that was bigger than us, to be honest. We were able to get some good experience from this one and the younger girls continued to show improvement. It was just a good night for us overall. “It’s very rare to see two kids from one class both reach 1,000 points for a career. Those two — like my other three seniors — have always been good ball players, and I’m really proud of them for what they’ve been able to accomplish.” Eastern — which ended the weekend with a school-best ranking of No. 3 in the Division IV AP poll — is off to its best start in four years with this senior class. �Page 8 s The Daily Sentinel ANNOUNCEMENTS Lost & Found Found small female Boxer Dog in Rutland area.Call 740-4445132 Notices NOTICE OHIO VALLEY PUBLISHING CO.

Cleveland roared back from a 24-point deficit in the first half and trailed by three with 2.8 seconds remaining, but the Cavaliers were called for a five-second violation when Jarrett Jack failed to get the ball inbounds. Ellis put the game away with two free throws with 1.1 seconds left. Kyrie Irving led Cleveland with 26 points. Luol Deng, acquired from Chicago on Jan. 7, scored 20 points in his first home game with the Cavaliers while Anderson Varejao had 18 points with 21 rebounds. Dirk Nowitzki scored 17 points and DeJuan Blair added 13 for the Mavericks, who had six players in double figures. Dallas built a 59-35 lead late in the second quarter and maintained a double-figure lead for most of the second half before the Cavaliers rallied. Cleveland cut the lead into single figures early in the fourth quarter. The Cavaliers got the lead to 91-89 on Deng’s 3-pointer, but Irving missed a jumper and a 3-point attempt on the same possession when Cleveland had a chance to tie or take the lead. A basket and two free throws by Ellis followed by Marion’s steal and score pushed the lead to 97-90 with 1:35 to play. Cleveland cut the lead to 98-95, but two free throws by Jose Calderon with 11.1 seconds remaining pushed the lead to five. Varejao’s basket with 5.7 left made it 10097. Ellis missed two free throws with 2.8 seconds left and gave Cleveland one last chance, but Jack couldn’t find anyone open after a timeout for a costly turnover. Ellis finally put the game away with two free throws. The Mavericks played as if they had a point to prove after a lopsided loss at home to Portland on Saturday, a defeat coach Rick Carlisle called “beyond embarrassing.” Dallas trailed by 38 points early in the fourth quarter before their reserves made the score a somewhat respectable a 127-111 final. The Cavaliers went 3-2 on a road trip to the west coast but struggled in the first game of five straight at home. Cleveland led briefly in the first quarter, but couldn’t keep up with the hotshooting Mavericks. Dallas used a 9-0 run late in the first quarter to break a 21all tie. The Mavericks padded the margin in the second quarter and went ahead 51-33 at the 2:27 mark. Dallas shot 55 percent from the field in the first half and took a 59-37 lead into the locker room. Marion and Blair both made all five of their shots in the first half. Marion scored 14 points while Blair had 11. Marion made his first shot of the third quarter before finally missing a 3-point attempt from the corner. He scored three points and made only one of six shots against Portland. Blair missed his first shot attempt in the third quarter and was hit with a technical later in the period after being called for a foul while trying to grab a rebound. Irving scored 18 points in the third quarter and Cleveland cut the lead to 75-65. Deng, a two-time All-Star, will face the Bulls for the first time since the trade on Wednesday. Cleveland is 3-3 with Deng in the lineup. Mavericks center Samuel Dalembert left the game early in the third quarter with a strained left shoulder. He was taken to the locker room and didn’t return. NOTES: Cavaliers F Anthony Bennett, the No. 1 pick in the 2013 draft, didn’t play for the fourth straight game. … Cleveland Indians manager Terry Francona watched the game seated next to Mavericks owner Mark Cuban behind Dallas’ bench. … The Mavericks are 11-4 against Eastern Conference teams this season. Seven of their 11 games before the AllStar break are against the East, including the next three versus Toronto, Brooklyn and Detroit. … G Devin Harris was scoreless in his second game of the season for Dallas. He made his season debut Saturday after missing the first 41 games because of surgery on his left foot. Browns play waiting game in search for coach CLEVELAND (AP) — The Super Bowl is set. The Browns’ coaching search remains incomplete. The quest to replace Rob Chudzinski enters its fourth week. Cleveland’s plans to interview Denver offensive coordinator Adam Gase have been further delayed after the Broncos advanced to the Super Bowl with a 26-16 win over New England in Sunday’s AFC championship game. The 35-year-old Gase is high on the Browns’ list of candidates to become the club’s seventh coach since 1999, and the team must now wait until after Denver’s Feb. 2 matchup against Seattle before they can meet with him. It’s possible the Browns will move on without Gase. He was the first candidate the Browns asked permission to speak with after firing Chudzinski in the hours following a Dec. 29 loss at Pittsburgh. Gase, though, declined Cleveland’s offer for an interview so he could focus on the Broncos’ playoff run and there have been reports he’s content working with Peyton Manning and would like to spend at least one more season on Denver’s staff. While the Browns decide what move to make with Gase, they can conduct a second interview with Seahawks defensive coordinator Dan Quinn. The 43-year-old was the first candidate interviewed by Browns owner Jimmy Haslam and CEO Joe Banner, who have met with at least eight known candidates but not offered anyone the job. Quinn has directed the NFL’s top defense this season and he reportedly impressed the Browns during his initial interview on Jan. 1. Per NFL rules, if the Browns want to meet again with Quinn, they must do so before Jan. 26 and Seattle would have to grant Cleveland permission. Tony Overman | The Olympian | MCT photo Seattle cornerback Richard Sherman climbs into the crowd to celebrate at the end of the NFC championship game at CenturyLink Field in Seattle on Sunday, Jan. 19. The Seattle Seahawks defeated the San Francisco 49ers, 23-17. Broncos-Seahawks Super Bowl pits top ‘O,’ top ‘D’ By Howard Fendrich The Associated Press Peyton Manning’s Denver Broncos and Richard Sherman’s Seattle Seahawks were the NFL’s best all season, so it’s fitting that they’ll meet in the Super Bowl. Nobody scored as many points or gained as many yards as the Broncos. Nobody allowed as few points or gave up as few yards as the Seahawks. And nobody won as many games as those clubs, either. What a way to finish the season. When the AFC champion Broncos (15-3) play the NFC champion Seahawks (15-3) on Feb. 2 at what could be a chilly MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, N.J., it will be the first Super Bowl since 1991 pitting the league’s highest-scoring team in the regular season against the team that was scored on the least, according to STATS. It’s also only the second time in the last 20 Super Bowls that the No. 1 seed in each conference reached the NFL championship game. “It will be a great matchup,” Seahawks coach Pete Carroll said. “I think it’s an extraordinary opportunity to go against a guy that set all the records in the history of the game.” That, of course, would be Manning, the 37-year-old quarterback who is the only four-time NFL MVP — and no one would be surprised if No. 5 arrives the night before the Super Bowl. He established marks by throwing for 55 touchdowns and 5,477 yards, helping Denver lead the league with 37.9 points and 457.3 yards per game. Manning is an inescapable pitchman, too, seen Sunday after Sunday during TV commercials. Hey, there he was selling cars during breaks in the broad- cast of the NFC title game. Expect even more face time now. Manning’s oft-told tale, certain to be repeated a million times in the coming days, includes his comeback from a series of surgical procedures to his neck, attempts to cure problems that led him to sit out the entire 2011 season. That also led the Indianapolis Colts to send him packing despite two Super Bowl appearances with that club, including a title in 2007. “It’s certainly well-documented what my journey the past 2½ years has been,” said Manning, who could become the first starting QB to lead two franchises to titles, “but this team’s overcome a lot of obstacles this year.” None more serious, perhaps, than coach John Fox’s absence for about a month because of a heart operation. Other issues included the fax faux pas that precipitated the departure of pass rusher Elvis Dumervil, star linebacker Von Miller’s drug-testing suspension and season-ending knee injury, and the losses of a handful of other starters on defense. “Being in my 16th season, going to my third Super Bowl — I know how hard it is to get there,” Manning said. He threw for 400 yards and two touchdowns in a 26-16 victory over Tom Brady and the New England Patriots in the AFC championship game Sunday. Manning’s offense scored on six consecutive possessions, accounted for more than 500 yards, had zero turnovers and zero sacks. Ol’ No. 18’s opposite number in two weeks, Seattle quarterback Russell Wilson, provides a real contrast as he seeks his — and the Seahawks’ — first Super Bowl trophy. Wilson is 6 inches shorter, 12 years younger, a skilled scrambler in only his second pro season af- ter slipping to the third round of the draft; he’s a guy who had to transfer colleges to get playing time and thought about pursuing a baseball career instead. “Any time you get to the Super Bowl,” Wilson said after Seattle beat the San Francisco 49ers 2317 on Sunday, “it’s a special time.” Other members of the Seahawks getting the chance to introduce themselves to a wide audience include rugged running back Marshawn Lynch — fans tossed packs of his favorite candy, Skittles, onto the field after a 40yard TD run in the third quarter — and Carroll, a rah-rah sort who was a title-winning college coach at Southern California. And maybe, just maybe, some of Manning’s less-heralded defensive teammates — the ones who clamped down on New England’s running game Sunday and limited Brady much of the afternoon — will get their chance to shine, too. Seattle’s defense, led by Sherman, allowed an average of 14.4 points and 273.6 yards, and topped the NFL in takeaways. On Sunday, the Seahawks forced three turnovers in the fourth quarter alone, including a victorysealing interception by Malcolm Smith after Sherman stretched his left hand to tip Colin Kaepernick’s pass away from receiver Michael Crabtree in the end zone. “I’m the best corner in the game,” said Sherman, an All-Pro. “When you try me with a sorry receiver like Crabtree, that’s the result you’re going to get.” Seattle’s only other trip to the big game ended with a loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers in 2006. Denver will be playing in its seventh Super Bowl and eyeing a third title, to go with those from 1998 and 1999, when current executive John Elway was the QB. Rice, Sanders try to rekindle interest in Pro Bowl HONOLULU (AP) — Deion Sanders is giving Jerry Rice one concession as Pro Bowl week begins: The record-setting wide receiver will call the coin toss Tuesday that starts the process of picking teams. Besides that, the Hall of Fame cornerback claims he has the upper hand under the game’s new schoolyardstyle format. “I think it is going to be a blowout,” Sanders said. “I don’t think Jerry has strategized.” Rice’s response: “That’s not going to happen. I have a pretty good mindset of where I want to go.” The Rice-Sanders rivalry is just one of several moves the NFL is using to try to rekindle interest in the Pro Bowl, set for Sunday in Hawaii. The game has been criticized as too lax in recent years by fans and even Commissioner Roger Goodell, putting the future of the game in question. The biggest change — a two-day draft on Tuesday and Wednesday that will determine teams in a new “unconferenced” game — responds by targeting player egos and fan love for fantasy football. Instead of briefly mentioning a player’s accomplishments during a quick cameo in the all-star game, Rice and Sanders will make choices that reveal the players they believe to be the best among the best — even all-stars don’t want to be picked last in a game with no bad players. “You want to embrace good-natured ribbing and chop busting,” said Mike Muriano, senior coordinating producer at NFL Network, which is running the draft and televising its second part live. The league was announcing replacements throughout Monday for players missing the game because of injury or the Super Bowl. Andrew Luck of Indianapolis and Nick Foles of Philadelphia are replacing the quarterbacks in the Super Bowl, Denver’s Peyton Manning and Seattle’s Russell Wilson. Running backs Eddie Lacy and Alfred Morris will step in for Adrian Peterson and Marshawn Lynch, while Alshon Jeffery and Larry Fitzgerald replace Calvin Johnson and Demaryius Thomas. the Tigers (16-2 overall, 7-1 MSC) was Katie Allen with 16 points, including four three-pointers, while Daizah Kimberland and Hayley Hellyer finished with 15 and 13 points, respectively. LeeAnn Grider pulled down a team-high six boards for the Tigers and Ellen Sholtes dished out three assists to lead the squad. Rio Grande returns to action next Thursday when they hit the road to face conference foe Pikeville. Tipoff is set for 6 p.m. at the East Kentucky Expo Center. Live audio of the game will be available at www. ihigh.com/redstorm with pregame beginning at 5:45 p.m. Randy Payton is the Sports Information Director at the University of Rio Grande. RedStorm From Page 7 and never looked back en route to the 16-point win. Rio Grande shot just 26 percent from the field in the second half and finished the game at 35 percent from the field overall(18-for-51), 17 percent from beyond the arc (2-for-12) and 81 percent from the foul line (26-for-32). Campbellsville finished the game at 43 percent from the field (25for-58), 32 percent from beyond the three-point arc (6-for-19) and 73 percent from the charity stripe (24-for-33). Swisher & Lohse Pharmacy The RedStorm did own a slight 37-36 advantage in rebounds over the Tigers, but were one turnover shy of a season-high with 22 turnovers for the game. Junior guard Brianna Thomas (Maplewood, NJ) enjoyed a team-high 22 points to go along with her six rebounds, five steals, and four assists, while sophomore forward Sarah Bonar (Hartford, OH) finished with 13 points and a team-high seven rebounds. Payne rounded out the double-digit scorers for Rio Grande with 11 points and six rebounds. Leading the way for WE ARE A PREFERED PHARMACY ON OVER 50 MEDICARE PREFERED PLANS!
