The “Point-In-Time” survey, which begins on Monday, January 27 and continues through the week, is a national initiative to help state and federal level agencies gain a better grasp on homelessness statistics and better assess regional needs. It’s important that service providers participate, said Melissa Kimmel, co-chair of Gallia-Jackson-Meigs-Vinton Continuum of Care, especially since homelessness in a rural area is less visible. “We have a lot of need here,” Kimmel said. “But homelessness doesn’t fit the stereotypical pic- ture you see in a big city. Often, people are staying on couches, living in dilapidated buildings, or tent cities. They’re not on the street.” Kimmel has put together a questionnaire, the Ohio Point-InTime 2014 Unsheltered Homeless Form. She has sent out the questionnaire to all local agencies that are likely be in contact with the homeless during the next week, with a stamped selfadressed envelope to return the questionnaires on January 31 for the count. For more information on the Gallia-Jackson-Meigs-Vinton part of the initiative, Kimmel may be reached at (740)446-6752. Across the river in Mason County Bailey and other staff members at the Mason County Homeless Shelter are also getting ready to participate in the survey through the Coalition to End Homelessness. They face similar sorts of visibility issues, Bailey said. “There are a couple of different methods for counting the homeless,” Bailey said. “One is to go out on the streets over a 24-hour period and count people. That works better in cities, because in rural areas people are harder to find.” Bailey said that in the past he and other workers have gone out into wooded areas and under See Homeless | 3 Police: 1 man arrested after domestic dispute By Sarah Hawley shawley@civitasmedia.com Food for Zumba fee By Charlene Hoeflich choeflich@civitasmedia.com POMEROY — “Help yourself, help your community.” That’s what three certified Zumba instructors, are recommending as they move toward beginning their fourth year of volunteering their skills for the benefit of others.

Member SIPC. Ex-candidate for prosecuting attorney reprimanded COLUMBUS — The Supreme Court of Ohio, on Thursday, publicly reprimanded a former candidate for Athens County prosecuting attorney for violating a professional conduct rule related to her misdemeanor conviction for breaking Ohio financial disclosure laws. In a unanimous decision, the court adopted an agreement between the state’s Disciplinary Counsel and Susan L. Gwinn of Athens. In the agreement, Gwinn acknowledged that during her campaign for office she improperly reported that she had loaned money to her campaign committee when she had actually received the loans from her brother and another indi- vidual. She was convicted on two misdemeanor charges for claiming on her campaign finance report that the funds were loans from herself. The parties agreed that there were no aggravating factors and that Gwinn had no prior disciplinary record, was cooperative in the criminal case and disciplinary investigation, and showed evidence of good character and reputation. The agreement noted that she has also taken goodfaith steps to address the consequences of her misconduct. Specifically, she has paid her friend back in full and signed a note to her brother with provisions to repay him.

Brenda Davis �The Daily Sentinel FAITH AND FAMILY A hunger for more By Thom Mollohan Pastor The stakes that tie down the tent that houses the family of God (see Isaiah 54:2) are continually pulled up and moved outward as people all over the world turn in faith from sin and death to Jesus Christ. Tapped on the shoulder by the awesome hand of the Master, men and women throughout the pages of human history have had the breath of God breathe into them the spark of divine life. As He moves within them, they’ve renounced the paths of darkness that their own selfish will would blaze for them and placed their confidence and hope in the sacrificial death and resurrection of God’s Son. “…He died for all, that those who live might no longer live for themselves but for Him Who for their sake died and was raised” (2 Corinthians 5:15 ESV). Before coming to Christ, we are so blind that we cannot even see darkness, for darkness is all we’ve ever known. So deaf are we before our hearts are opened that even though He speaks our names, imploring us to turn to life while the door is still opened to us, we cannot recognize His voice. And with spiritual ears that fail to detect and recognize the melodious whisperings of His eternal voice, we dwell in a lifeless state, devoid of the knowledge of the eternal grace of God. Without this life, our greatest aspirations and our most profound achievements leave us still wallowing in the muck of our sinful nature, incapable of any act of worship worth rendering to our Maker. Yet… the death and glorious return to life of our Savior enables us by faith to begin to spiritually hear what we need most to hear… God’s voice. For a heart that will not respond to God’s call, His loving invitations and remonstrations sound like little more than the “white noise” which constantly cascades down upon us all the day long every day. But just as Jesus personally took a deaf and mute man aside in order to bring hearing and healing to a man’s whose ears seemed dead to the voice of his Maker, He beckons us today to willingly be pulled out of our pointless routines, our ineffectual plans, and our vain pursuits in order that we might be given eyes to see what matters most in life, ears to hear the voice of the One Who loves us most of all, and a voice by which we might lavish thanksgiving and praises upon Him as well as tell others what He can do for them! “They brought to Him a man who was deaf and had a speech impediment, and they begged Him to lay His hand on him. And taking him aside from the crowd privately, He put his fingers into his ears, and after spitting touched his tongue. And looking up to heaven, He sighed and said to him, ‘Ephphatha,’ that is, ‘Be opened.’ And his ears were opened, his tongue was released, and he spoke plainly. And Jesus charged them to tell no one. But the more He charged them, the more zealously they proclaimed it. And they were astonished beyond measure, saying, ‘He has done all things well. He even makes the deaf hear and the mute speak.’” (Mark 7:32-37 ESV). One can recognize the tender touch of the Lord’s hand in his or her life by the yearning for more than this life can offer. One may discern His holy presence by the growing sense of horror of one’s own selfishness and sin while awe of His incredible glory swells within our hearts. One can hear God’s invitation to come and know Him by the sudden realization that Jesus’ suffering and death was the only means by which His gift of forgiveness and cleansing could come to us. Even now He yearns to break through our defenses against His love and release us from our bondage to the temporal sphere. How He longs right now, with a heaviness that only the infinite heart of God could bear, for our eyes, ears, and hearts to be opened, sighing heavily to the Father His discontent with humanity’s lostness. And once our haughty hearts surrender to this amazing invitation, and we’ve been delivered from sure destruction (the fruit of rejecting Him), then everything changes. When we’ve finally been set free from the chains of despair forged by yielding to our pride and selfish inclinations, our tongues are loosed and we may proclaim our praises of the living God Who not only has created us but has moved heaven and earth, as it were, to redeem from us our “wages of sin” (see Romans 6:23). Not only that, but our tongues are unleashed in proclaiming hope to the world. Does the world resent this hope? Definitely, for in turning to Jesus for life, we must abandon the marketplace of the world, laying down the baubles and worthless trinkets it would have us purchase with our very souls, in order that we may invest all that we have and all that we are in our race to follow Him. Once we’ve been made His children and our eyes are filled only with the loveliness of His care of the Lord’s house now. Firstly, as we tend to the house of the Lord, we should do our best to “Keep it Clean.” Nobody likes to live in a dirty house. We appreciate it when our physical properties are cared for, swept, and maintained. Why do we think the Lord wants us bringing filth into His house? Of course, the Lord’s house is a spiritual dwelling place, and we cannot bring physical trash into it. But we can bring spiritual trash into the church. The Bible has much to say concerning our need to keep ourselves pure. We are taught to be pure in heart and mind (cf. 1 Timothy 1:5), and pure in deed (cf. 1 Peter 1:22). “Abstain from every form of evil,” says the Lord (1 Thessalonians 5:22) and “Beloved, I beg you as sojourners and pilgrims, abstain from fleshly lusts which war against the soul.” (1 Peter 5:22) Things that would defile us before God, such as alcohol, pornography, adultery, lies, gossip, hatred, theft, and the like are to be avoided if we wish to be a part of God’s house. (cf. Galatians 5:19-21) . We should likewise be careful not to follow after false doctrine, or any other lie, which would taint God’s dwelling place. (Acts 20:2932). We cannot hold onto such things and still expect to be pleasing to God. Another point to consider about the House of God and our responsibility towards it, as that we need to build onto God’s House only as God wants us to build on. There is a foundation God has laid, Christ Jesus, and we are not free to lay another besides it (cf. 1 Corinthians 3:9-11) We must build according to God’s plan, Friday, January 24, 2014 Meigs County Church Calendar grace, success in the world loses its appeal. Once our hearts are cleansed and our minds begin the wonderful process of being made new (see Romans 12:1-2), we no longer think and plan based on our own previous agendas. No longer must we dwell under the thorny hedge of condemnation (see Romans 5:1-2), but we can rejoice that grace has saved us and we no longer owe any debt to the flesh. Everything is new. Everything is different. Troubles and trials take on only a shallow and temporary taint, and what once ruffled my feathers can only make us laugh now. What once seemed too unbearable and terrible to face now seems small and unimportant. After all, Who holds our future once we’ve come to Christ? The Father does… in a mighty hand that flaming suns cannot scorch, measureless seas cannot drown, and an endless span of years cannot wither away. I have to agree with those who stood by, watching as the Lord Jesus went about healing and helping: He does everything well. Absolutely everything.

Tending to the house of the Lord The House of the Lord is not a building. It is not an edifice made of stone, wood, and glass. It is a structure comprised entirely of individuals. It is the church, the assembly of men and women who have been saved by Christ and are being built up as a Spiritual house of worship. The book of Hebrews speaks of the role of Christ in this House, and His ownership of it. “Therefore, holy brethren, partakers of the heavenly calling, consider the Apostle and High Priest of our confession, Christ Jesus, who was faithful to Him who appointed Him, as Moses also was faithful in all His house. For this One has been counted worthy of more glory than Moses, inasmuch as He who built the house has more honor than the house. For every house is built by someone, but He who built all things is God. And Moses indeed was faithful in all His house as a servant, for a testimony of those things which would be spoken afterward, but Christ as a Son over His own house, whose house we are if we hold fast the confidence and the rejoicing of the hope firm to the end.” (Hebrews 3:1-6) Paul says much the same to Timothy, saying of His first epistle, “I write so that you may know how you ought to conduct yourself in the house of God, which is the church of the living God, the pillar and ground of the truth.” (1 Timothy 3:15) It is the church that is God’s holy temple, and those that would enter into it would do well to keep the Lord’s house as He desires it to be kept. Those of us who wish to dwell in the house of the Lord forever (cf. Psalms 23:6; 92:12-15) would do well to take good Page 4 using the tools and supplies God gives us. God’s plan of building is fairly straightforward. The gospel is to be preached and men, in obeying that Gospel, are added to the church (cf. Matthew 28:18-20; Acts 2:38, 47). Souls are added to the church by the Lord Himself. We cannot bring anyone into the church apart from God’s plan, and we cannot exclude people God has added. While there are many men who would happily build onto the church using their own schemes and notions of who should or should not be saved, we need to make sure that the gospel we are preaching is God’s Gospel, lest we find ourselves accursed and lost (cf. Galatians 1:6-12; 2 John 9). Finally, in tending to the Lord’s House, we need to be ready to make repairs whenever necessary. Sometimes the mortar that holds us together as living stones is weaker than it should be and needs to be patched. We need to always seek to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace (cf. Ephesians 4:3), remembering the words of Scripture: “Pursue peace with all people,and holiness, without which no one will see the Lord: looking carefully lest anyone fall short of the grace of God; lest any root of bitterness springing up cause trouble” (Hebrews 12:14-15) In short, Christians need to work to get along with one another, forgiving as necessary, comforting when needed, and loving at all times. If you desire to be a part of the Lord’s house, we invite you to come worship and study with us at the church of Christ, 234 Chapel Drive, Gallipolis.

Rightly expecting By Alex Colon Pastor During my time of devotions a few days ago, I came across a statement by Oswald Chambers that riveted my soul. It is a statement that should not have caught my attention the way it did – but it did anyway. Here is it is: “Am I as spontaneously kind to God as I used to be, or am I only expecting God to be kind to me?” The reason this statement riveted my soul is because that is exactly where I have found myself for the past two months or so. Does that surprise you? I am constantly evaluating my walk with God because and my heart’s desire is to please Him. But somehow, in the midst of the cares of life, I realized that I had slipped into a selfish expectation on my faith, rather than believing God while expecting to please Him with kindness – in whatever measure I could. I am fully aware that religion is based on what “we do for God” which will really get us nowhere. Christianity is all about what God has done for us though the finished work of Christ. So I do not want to live a live of constantly doing things for the Lord in order to please Him. That is not the case at all. By the same token, the fruit of our relationship with God is demonstrated in and by faith with spontaneous kindness towards Him. Kindness towards the Lord can not be done without the “fear of the Lord” that the Bible talks about. It is His Kindness that leads us to repentance, and repentance comes, not because we feel guilty or ashamed of what we have done, but because we believe Him and love Him enough to honor Him in all we do. Therefore, I believe that we need to come to the awareness of the condition of our hearts in regards to our relationship with Him. Is my life consumed by Him? Am I readily available to honor Him with my life in whatever capacity He expects me to? Am I quick to repent, receive forgiveness, and trust Him? Am I ready forgive, love those who have wronged me? These are the goods that reside in us Believers by the Holy Spirit, and our relationship and closeness with God will cause us to respond in such a way that demonstrates kindness toward Him. It is nothing more than the result of our time with Him. When we find ourselves frustrated with life, unanswered prayers, sickness, diseases that should have gotten healed or unresolved relationship feuds, etc., it will do us good to inspect the fruit of our hearts and be sure that we are in “trust” mode and not in expecting God to be kind to us regardless of our lack of trust. I find that when am tend to unknowingly ignore my wife for a couple of days as a result of the stress of getting things done or trying to figure out how to fix the next problem, then she tends to act a little funny. She doesn’t get mad or nasty with me, but she tends to give me some space and when I approach her I tend to misinterpret her reaction. To me she seems perturbed or upset and aggravated. Only for her to say: “I’ve just been missing you.” Can it be that sometimes God is silent and we tend to misinterpret His silence? Or could it be that we’ve just been too busy and still expecting him to be kind regardless? Something to think about. The Bible affirms God’s support of life in the womb By Ron Branch Pastor January 19 was designated to recognize the Sanctity of Life. This has specifically to do with the integrity of the lives of children in women’s wombs. The social elitists stipulate support of purposely ending the lives of children in women’s wombs. People associated with the Church who support the ending of children’s lives in women’s wombs fail to realize obligation to adhere to the thinking of God on this issue. Should not the people associated with the Church be agreed with what God thinks? What God thinks about children’s lives in women’s wombs is clearly affirmed in His Word. To be a Christian puts parameters on our opinions, what we think, and what we do. God has every bit of expectation that we share in His opinions, particularly as it involves social and moral issues. Because God thinks so, the people of the Church must understand that children’s lives in women’s wombs are to be nurtured to the day of birthing. We are to set forth Bible principles why the people of the church should be protectors of children in women’s wombs both in opinion and practical application. Why is this true? First, the Bible affirms God’s will that the process of birthing take its course without the will of man being imposed on it. In the Bible we are told that God stipulated to Adam and Eve that they “be fruitful and multiply.” This instruction became an established, God-ordained principle. It is simple enough— -God expected them to nurture their “expectings” to the day of birthing. God’s thinking about “fruitfulness” and “multiplication” has not changed. Second, people associated with the Church should weigh their opinion with the Bible truth we are created in God’s image. That “image” is first and dynamically formed with the formation of a child in a woman’s womb. To put a deliberate end to life there is a dangerous game to play with God. It is God’s image that is rejected by the enders. A Bible-based world-view is critical on this point. The Bible also affirms God’s will that God has lifeplans for the lives of children in women’s wombs. This fact is confirmed by the life of Isaac (God revealed His life-plan to Abraham previous to Isaac’s birth). This fact is confirmed by the life of Samson (God revealed His life-plan to Samson’s mother previous to Samson’s birth). The same is true for Jeremiah, John the Baptist, Apostle Paul, and supremely so for Jesus Christ. God’s lifeplans for children’s lives in women’s wombs are negated when people arbitrarily impose an evil, self-centered will over that of God. Next, consider how the Bible contains many open statements about children’s lives in women’s wombs, Psalms 139 being cited here. The Psalmist asserts that human life in the womb is the creation and gift of God. The Psalmist affirms that the nurturing of the child in a woman’s womb is overseen by God, and that God places supreme value on the child’s life in the womb. The Psalmist knew that he had been “fearfully and wonderfully made.” The Bible clarifies in positive terms the compassion and interest of God of the child in the woman’s womb. We must not forget that God gives children as a heritage and reward (Psalms 127:3). Children sprung to life in a woman’s womb should not be considered as an inconvenience judged derisively with a death sentence. Shall we reject arbitrarily any of the gifts of God? Shall we reject selectively the blessings of God? The Bible stipulates the pro-life position of God that children’s lives in women’s wombs be nurtured till the day of birthing. The people of the Church have the responsibility to advocate what God thinks concerning the sanctity of life in the womb. We must verbalize and actualize supportive belief. The Southern Baptist Convention takes the position that “at the moment of conception, a new being enters the universe, a human being, a being created in God’s image. This human being deserves our protection, whatever the circumstances of conception.” �Friday, January 24, 2014 www.mydailysentinel.com The Daily Sentinel • Page 5 Meigs County Church Directory Fellowship Apostolic Church of Jesus Christ Apostolic Van Zandt and Ward Road.

The first guy to do it, Craig Morton, is among the thousands of former players suing the NFL about concussions. Morton played QB for the Dallas Cowboys in the 1971 Super Bowl, and for the Denver Broncos — Manning’s current club — in the 1978 Super Bowl. Last month, Morton filed a complaint against the league in U.S. District Court in California, where he lives. “I’m not trying to hurt the NFL. Come on, guys, just take care of your players. It just doesn’t make any sense — so many guys are hurting, and (the league) neglected to handle it,” Morton said Wednesday in a telephone interview. “The NFL should have been taking care of these guys a long time ago. They can do that; they can be a compassionate group,” said Morton, who turns 71 on Feb. 5, three days after Manning’s Broncos face the Seattle Seahawks for the championship. “I want to know what (NFL owners) know, and what they did know.” Last week, a federal judge in Philadelphia slowed down the proposed $765 million settlement of NFL concussion claims, questioning if there’s enough money to cover all retired players who’d get access to the funds. U.S. District Judge Anita B. Brody also raised concerns that anyone receiving lawsuitrelated payments from the NFL would be barred from suing the NCAA. “If you accept this settlement, you cannot ever sue the NFL or the NCAA — what kind of stuff is that? That should set off alarms across the country,” Morton said. Morton went 0-2 in Super Bowl starts. Kurt Warner went 1-2 as a starting quarterback in Super Bowls with the St. Louis Rams and Arizona Cardinals. Manning went 1-1 in Super Bowls with the Indianapolis Colts, winning in 2007. He joined Denver before last season. Morton played in the NFL from 1965-82, also spending time with the New York Giants, and doesn’t know how many head injuries he had. But he said he feels the effects of what his court filing says were 373 regular-season sacks. “‘Concussions’ was not really a word. It was, ‘Pop the smelling salts’ or ‘Count the number of fingers you have, then go ahead.’ Over 18 years, though, I’m sure I had a few,” Morton said. “I’ve got my headaches. I’ve got really horrible shoulders and neck pain. I constantly have to have shots in my spine. My feet are numb. I’ve got to have another shoulder replacement. I’ve had three knee replacements and probably have to have another one,” he told The Associated Press. “I’m no different from anybody else who played that long. There are a lot of guys out there.” Sanders takes QBs early in Pro Bowl draft KAPOLEI, Hawaii (AP) — NFL great Deion Sanders took quarterbacks Andrew Luck and Cam Newton with his first skill position picks in the Pro Bowl draft Wednesday, going for passers early before focusing on defense in building a team for one win. Jerry Rice chose New Orleans tight end Jimmy Graham and then Philadelphia running back LeSean McCoy with his first two picks, giving active player captain Drew Brees his top target early to go along with two Saints offensive linemen picked Tuesday. “I wouldn’t rather be with anybody else, obvi- ously,” Graham told reporters after being picked. All five Saints in the Pro Bowl ended up on Rice’s team. The picks kicked off the three-hour process of divvying up 60 players for Sunday’s all-star game. The draft played out on a beachside estate used for weddings and luaus on Oahu’s west side, adjacent to the plush Ko Olina resort where the players are staying for the week with their families. About 1,000 fans attended the draft, which had cheerleaders, mascots, lei for each player and colored surfboards used as draft See DRAFT ‌| 8 Photos by Alex Hawley | The Register Meigs senior Damon Jones (12) shoots from the lane during the Marauders 54-35 victory over Eastern, Wednesday night in Rocksprings.

The Marauder defense kept it up through the intermission, holding the Green and Gold to six points in the third quarter. MHS scored 10 in the third and led 40-20 headed into the fourth quarter. Meigs went on a 8-to-3 run to start the finale and push its lead to a game-high 25 points. EHS outscored the Marauders 12-to-6 over the reminded of the game and Meigs took the 54-35 victory. The MHS scoring was led by Isaiah English with 20 points, followed by Damon Jones with 10. Ty Phelps had eight points, Jordan Hutton added seven, while Cody Bartrum marked three. A.J.

See TOPPLES ‌| 8 Seattle’s Sherman surprised by public reaction to rant RENTON, Wash. (AP) — Richard Sherman wondered if he came to the NFL 20 years too late. The Seattle Seahawks’ All-Pro cornerback wondered if his swagger might have fit better a few decades earlier when that confidence and an unfiltered tongue was perhaps more accepted. “I studied the old school game more than I studied the new school game, and I play it that way. It rubs a lot of people the wrong way,” Sherman said Wednesday. “Giving a true speech after a game, a true passionate speech is old school football. Playing press corner and sitting up there every play is old school football. I guess maybe I just haven’t adjusted to the times.” Sherman spoke at length for the first time since Sunday’s NFC championship game win over San Francisco where his postgame comments to Fox reporter Erin Andrews became the talking point. It was a loud, emotional moment that happened just a few minutes after the Seahawks earned the second Super Bowl berth in franchise history. Sherman was at the center of the decisive play, deflecting a pass intended for Michael Crabtree in the end zone and watching teammate Malcolm Smith run over to intercept it to clinch the victory. Sherman’s ensuing remarks were directed mostly at Crabtree but his intense, shouting delivery is what took people aback. Sherman said the reaction that followed over the next two days left him a little stunned as well. “I was surprised by it. Because we’re talking about football here and a lot of people took it a little bit further than football.” Sherman said. “I guess some people showed how far we have really come in this day and age and it was kind of profound what happened and people’s opinions of that nature, because I was on a football field showing passion. Maybe it was misdirected, maybe things may have been immature, maybe things could have been worded better but this is on a football field. I didn’t commit any crimes, I wasn’t doing anything illegal. I was showing passion after a football game.” Sherman apologized for taking away the spotlight from the performances by some of his teammates. Marshawn Lynch’s 109 yards rushing and 40-yard touchdown, Jermaine Kearse’s 35-yard touchdown catch on fourth-down and Bobby Wagner’s 15 tackles all became secondary to Sherman’s words. What seemed to bother Sherman the most in the fallout was hearing the word “thug” attached to his name. “The only reason it bothers me is it seems like it’s an accepted way of calling someone the N-word nowadays. It’s like everybody else said the N-word and they said thug and they’re like, ‘that’s fine,’” Sherman said. “That’s where it kind of takes me aback. It’s kind of disappointing because they know. What is the definition of a thug, really?” Sherman then referenced seeing highlights of the Vancouver Canucks and Calgary Flames See SHERMAN ‌| 8 �Friday, January 24, 2014 www.mydailyregister.com LEGALS Money To Lend PUBLIC NOTICE NOTICE:is hereby given that on Monday, January 27, 2014 at 10:00 a.m., a public sale will be held at 211 W.

The game is being played in an “unconferenced” format for the first time, straying from its usual AFC vs. NFC teams. Sanders and Rice picked captains and their first 11 players each on Tuesday. The new format is meant to liven up the Pro Bowl, which has been criticized by fans and even Commissioner Roger Goodell for the quality of play. The draft embraces the popular hobby of fantasy football and put many players in the interesting situation of having to watch two of the NFL’s biggest personalities pass them up. “It looks like I’m waiting,” Chicago wide receiver Brandon Marshall said after watching four receivers come off the board — including his teammate, Alshon Jeffery. “This is sad — real sad.” Sanders retorted: “Somebody get him some aspirin.” Eric Weddle, a San Diego safety who was the third safety picked, said he didn’t mind having to wait in a lounge area with the other players while Sanders and Rice took 2 minutes each to make picks, with breaks for commercials in the live telecast. “It doesn’t really matter — just chilling 17 hours in here right now,” Weddle said. “When it comes to Sunday, I’ll be on the field in the fourth quarter and ready to wreck shop.” Defensive end Mario Williams became the first player to be as- signed when he was the last player at his position off the board. “Just be careful where you throw the ball,” Williams told Brees afterward. Williams said things played out largely how he anticipated, with teammates picking one another and Sanders playing mind games. Other players assigned included Arizona wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald, New York Giants safety Antrel Rolle and New England kicker Stephen Gostkowski to Rice. Sanders was assigned tight ends Jordan Cameron of Cleveland and Jason Witten of Dallas, along with Jacksonville linebacker Paul Posluszny. “There’s been some questionable picks,” Posluszny said. Quarterbacks Nick Foles and Alex Smith were the last players taken. Sanders selected Foles, and Smith was then assigned to Rice as the final pick — nine years after being the top choice overall in the NFL draft. Rice then forced a trade on Sanders as allowed under the rules, taking Sanders’ sixthround pick of Indianapolis linebacker Robert Mathis, sending back Brian Orakpo. Rice had said since being named captain that he wanted Mathis on his team, while Mathis and Sanders have traded jabs on Twitter after Sanders asserted he only wanted young players on his team. Sanders picked wideouts Dez Bryant and A.J. Green, while Rice chose Josh Gordon along with Jeffery. Luck playing for Team Sanders puts him on the same team led by his head coach in Indianapolis, Chuck Pagano. Luck said that will help him as players get accustomed to Pagano’s style. Beyond McCoy going second to Rice on Wednesday and Kansas City’s Jamaal Charles being a captain for Sanders, neither manager took a running back early, preferring to pick defenders and receivers. Rice later took DeMarco Murray and Matt Forte, while Sanders took Eddie Lacy and was assigned Washing- Topples From Page 6 and Nathan Macek each had two points, rounding out the Marauder total. Meigs was 21-of-56 (37.5 percent) from the field, including 2-of-9 (22.2 percent) from beyond the arc. The Marauders were 10of-19 (52.6 percent) from the free throw line and they committed 17 turnovers. As a team MHS had 49 rebounds, seven assists and seven steals. Jones paced Meigs with 15 rebounds, followed by English with 12. Phelps led the team with three assists, while Jones and Hutton each had two steals to pace the defense. The Eagle scoring was led by Jett Facemyer with 10 points, followed by Daschle Facemyer and Christian Speelman with eight each. Cameron Richmond had six points, Andrew Stobart added two and Dylan Swatzel rounded out the EHS total with one point. Eastern was 12-of-56 (21.4 percent) from the field, 3-of-17 (17.6 percent) from three point range and 8-of-17 (47.1 percent) from the free throw line. The Green and Gold had 35 rebounds, two assists, five steals and 23 turnovers in the setback. The EHS rebounding effort was led by Speelman with seven and Stobart with six. Speelman and Stobart each had an assist for Eastern, while Cook paced the defense with a steal and two blocks. The Marauders are now 3-1 against Tri-Valley Conference Hocking Division opponents, while EHS is 0-2 against TVC Ohio teams. thug.” While there’s been criticism for his rant, he’s also received support. Perhaps most surprising was a tweet from baseball Hall of Famer Hank Aaron. Not a huge user of social media — Aaron had sent seven tweets before Tuesday — his message to Sherman read, “hang in there & keep playing as well as you did Sunday. Excellent job - you have my support.” Sherman was peppered with questions for more than 20 minutes Wednesday. Teammate Russell Wilson was also asked about the fallout. He said it hasn’t been a distraction as the Seahawks begin preparing for Denver. Sherman also didn’t like hearing that some have labeled the team villainous. “Anytime you label Russell Wilson a villain it has to be a joke,” he said. Sherman said he has not reached out to Crabtree. Sherman attempted to shake Crabtree’s hand fol- lowing the interception only to get shoved in the face. Even after his on-field interview, Sherman continued to deride Crabtree in his postgame media session, calling the receiver “mediocre” and later saying their problems dated to an incident during an offseason event in Arizona. Sherman said he doesn’t regret the choke sign he directed at San Francisco quarterback Colin Kaepernick, a gesture that drew a 15-yard penalty for unsportsmanlike conduct. “No man, it’s Reggie Miller,” Sherman said. “It’s Reggie Miller. It’s rivalries, right?” Sherman From Page 6 playing on Saturday when a fight broke out two seconds into the game. “They didn’t even play hockey. They just threw their sticks aside and started fighting,” he said. “I saw that and said, ‘Oh, man, I’m the thug? What’s going on here. Geez.’ I’m really disappointed in being called a House passes bill requiring health care numbers WASHINGTON (AP) — The House on Thursday backed a bill that would require the Obama administration to report weekly on how many Americans have signed up for health care coverage as Republicans maintain an election-year spotlight on the troubled law. The vote was 259-154, with 33 Democrats breaking ranks and joining the GOP majority in supporting the legislation. It marked the second time in a week — and certainly not the last — that the House has targeted President Barack Obama’s law, with Republicans confident that Americans’ unease with the overhaul will produce major GOP wins in the November elections. Some of the most vulnerable Democrats facing re-election this fall from Arizona, Georgia, New York and Florida voted for the bill. Last week, 67 Democrats bucked the administration and backed a bill to bolt new security requirements on the law. The bill would require the administration to report weekly on the number of visits to the government health care website, the number of Americans who applied and the number of enrollees by ZIP code, as well as other statistics. It stands no chance in the Democratic-led Senate. The administration has reported monthly on enrollment, announcing last week that 2.2 million signed up through the end of December and nearly 4 million had been deemed eligible for Medicaid. Those reports are insufficient, Republicans argued. “We know the president’s health care law is driving up costs for middle-class families, making it harder for small businesses to hire, and hurting the economy - but there’s still a lot we don’t know,” said House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, contending that the administration “hasn’t provided a clear picture of where enrollment stands.” Democrats countered that the Republicans were adding onerous requests and disrupting administration efforts to sign up millions of Americans for health care coverage. “This is just an attempt to pile on so many requirements on the administration,” said Rep. Frank Pallone, D-N.J., who pointed to recent administration reports. He said the data disclosed is consistent with what the government releases monthly on Medi- Hagel orders full nuclear force review WASHINGTON (AP) — Citing a string of setbacks in the nuclear missile force, Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel summoned senior military leaders to discuss serious personnel problems and other missteps that “threaten to jeopardize” public trust. In a memo Thursday to top Pentagon officials, Hagel also ordered an independent review of the nuclear force to determine whether setbacks, including numerous lapses and missteps revealed by The Associated Press, reflect endemic failures that could harm the nuclear mission and the safety and security of the nation’s nuclear weapons. “Personnel failures within this force threaten to jeopardize the trust the American people have placed in us to keep our nuclear weapons safe and secure,” Hagel wrote. The AP was provided a copy of his letter before it was announced by his press secretary, Adm. John Kirby, who described Hagel as eager to get to the bottom of the problems. Last week the Air Force announced it had suspended the security clearances of 34 nuclear missile launch officers who are alleged to have cheated on proficiency tests, a probe that grew out of a drug use investigation. “Combined with other recent lapses by those responsible for overseeing our strategic deterrence enterprise, the allegations that have been raised recently also raise legitimate concerns about the department’s stewardship of one of our most sensitive and important missions,” Kirby told a Pentagon news conference. Earlier Thursday, Hagel talked to the Air Force’s top civilian official, Deborah Lee James, about setbacks in the nuclear missile force and concerns about low morale. She visited Air Force nuclear missile bases this week. The Air Force operates, maintains and secures 450 Minuteman 3 intercontinental ballistic missiles, as well as a fleet of nuclearcapable bombers. The Navy is responsible for the rest of the strategic nuclear force, which is comprised of nucleartipped ballistic missiles aboard submarines. care. Obama has said his administration is the most transparent in history, and Republicans tossed those words back at him. “This bill is fundamentally about transparency,” said Rep. Joe Pitts, R-Pa., who insisted that the American people have a right to an accurate assessment of the law’s data. The administration opposes the measure, saying it has been providing information on enrollments and the added requirements would force it to hire new staff as government expense. Democratic Rep. John Sarbanes, D-Md., said the measure was “really designed to harass the Health and Human Services” Department. The goal of the Affordable Care Act is to expand coverage to tens of millions of Americans who lack insurance, to lower health care costs, to increase access to preventive services and to eliminate some of the pre-existing condition requirements that insurance companies have used to deny coverage. The health care website got off to a calamitous start on Oct. 1, followed quickly by widespread reports of canceled policies and higher premiums. Republicans who steadfastly opposed the law have led the charge in the House, which voted more than 40 times last year to repeal, replace or undo parts of the law. The GOP campaigned last year on a promise to repeal and replace the law, but the party hasn’t offered an alternative. Ohio judge favors camera speeding ticket refunds CINCINNATI (AP) — Drivers who got speeding camera tickets in a Cincinnati-area village are entitled to nearly $1.8 million in refunds, pending the village’s appeal of class action status, a southwest Ohio judge ruled Thursday. Hamilton County Common Pleas Judge Robert Ruehlman, who last March ordered Elmwood Place to stop using the cameras and called them “a scam,” repeated that the village’s camera system violated Ohio’s constitution and rules on judicial process and public notice. He said besides refunds of the $105 citations and other motorists’ costs, which total at least $1.76 million, the village is liable for the plaintiffs’ attorneys’ fees, because “Elmwood Place acted in bad faith in implementing the ordinance.” He said he wouldn’t make his order final until the class action appeal is resolved. Attorney Mike Allen, who filed the lawsuit in late 2012, said there was no estimate yet on what attorneys’ fees might total. He added that the plaintiffs would be willing to discuss a “very reasonable” settlement to expedite the case rather than see appeals go on for months more. “I think Elmwood Place should stop spending money on attorneys,” Allen said. “We’d like to put some money back in these people’s pockets.” However, attorney Judd Uhl said the village plans to keep appealing Ruehlman’s decisions, including Thursday’s ruling, because it believes Ohio law is on its side. “We feel pretty strongly about it,” Uhl said. “We don’t really intend to pay anything in this case.” Officials in the mostly blue-collar village with 2,200 residents have said it has set aside money collected from the speeding cameras. A company that owned and operated the cameras received 40 percent of revenues. Uhl last month said in court that the cameras allowed police to focus on violent crimes and drugs and to have more presence on the streets. The village also has said the camera enforcement resulted in a sharp decline in speeding. Village business owners and a church pastor have said the resulting ticket blitz drove people away. Motorists’ attorneys said drivers had little chance to challenge the citations. They also said the village didn’t give proper notice camera enforcement was starting, resulting in thousands of speeding citations within the first month. The case helped spur new lawsuits against cameras in nearby New Miami and in the northern Ohio village of Lucas. It’s drawn the attention of national opponents of camera enforcement. Meanwhile, a 2011 challenge to Toledo traffic cameras is before the Ohio Supreme Court this year. That case challenges the use of administrative hearing officers instead of courts to handle camera ticket cases, saying the city is usurping court authority and violating motorists’ rights to due process. And some Ohio legislators are pushing for a statewide ban on traffic cameras or restrictions on their use. �Friday, January 24, 2014 www.mydailysentinel.com BLONDIE The Daily Sentinel • Page 9 By Dean Young and John Marshall BEETLE BAILEY By Mort, Greg and Brian Walker Today’s answer RETAIL By Norm Feuti HAGAR THE HORRIBLE HI AND LOIS By Chris Browne Written By Brian & Greg Walker; Drawn By Chance Browne THE BRILLIANT MIND OF EDISON LEE By John Hambrock BABY BLUES ZITS By Jerry Scott & Rick Kirkman By Jerry Scott and Jim Borgman PARDON MY PLANET CONCEPTIS SUDOKU By Vic Lee RHYMES WITH ORANGE Hank Ketcham’s DENNIS THE MENACE by Dave Green By Hilary Price THE LOCKHORNS By Bunny Hoest & John Reiner By Bil and Jeff Keane Make the Switch to DISH Today and Save Up To 50% Call Now and Ask How! 1-800-401-1670 All offers require 24-month commitment and credit qualification.Call 7 days a week 8am - 11pm EST Promo Code: MB0913 *Offer subject to change based on premium movie channel availability Today’s Solution THE FAMILY CIRCUS Promotional prices ly ... starting at on FREE OVER 30 PREMIUM MOVIE CHANNELS mo. ths for 12 monHo pper Not eligible wi2 th or iPad offer.

It’s “not dead yet,” said U.S. Geological Survey seismologist Susan Hough, who was part of the study published online by the journal Science. Researchers have long debated just how much of a hazard New Madrid (MAD’-rihd) poses. The zone stretches 150 miles, crossing parts of Arkansas, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Mississippi, Missouri and Ten- nessee. In 1811 and 1812, it unleashed a trio of powerful jolts — measuring magnitudes 7.5 to 7.7 — that rattled the central Mississippi River valley. Chimneys fell and boats capsized. Farmland sank and turned into swamps. The death toll is unknown, but experts don’t believe there were mass casualties because the region was sparsely populated then. Unlike California’s San Andreas and other faults that occur along boundaries of shifting tectonic plates, New Madrid is less understood since it’s in the middle of the continent, far from plate boundaries. Previous studies have suggested that it may be shutting down, based on GPS readings that showed little strain accumulation at the surface. Other research came to the same conclusion by blaming ongoing quake activity on aftershocks from the 1800s, which would essentially relieve strain on the fault. The latest study suggests otherwise. Hough and USGS geophysicist Morgan Page in Pasadena, Calif., analyzed past quakes in the New Madrid re- gion and used computer modeling to determine that the continuing tremors are not related to the big quakes two centuries ago. “Our new results tell us that something is going on there, and therefore a repeat of the 1811-1812 sequence is possible,” Hough said. The USGS estimates there’s a 7 to 10 percent chance of that happening in the next 50 years. Arthur Frankel, a seismologist with the USGS in Seattle who had no role in the study, said the latest results seem plausible. His recent field work using GPS shows significant movement of land along the fault in the past decade, indicating a buildup of strain that could lead to potentially dangerous quakes. Others said this won’t end the debate about the hazards on the New Madrid seismic zone. Andrew Newman, a geophysicist at the Georgia Institute of Technology, said the method used in the study works well for faults along plate boundaries, but he’s unsure if it applies to enigmatic faults like New Madrid. AP: Ohio appeals judge’s ruling on gay marriage CINCINNATI (AP) — Ohio authorities on Thursday appealed a federal judge’s ruling that ordered them to recognize gay marriages on death certificates and criticized the state’s ban on such unions as demeaning “the dignity of same-sex couples in the eyes of the state and the wider community.” The attorney general’s office filed its notice of appeal in the 6th Circuit Court of Appeals in Cincinnati. A brief containing their arguments will be filed later. The state is appealing federal Judge Timothy Black’s ruling last month, which said Ohio’s ban on gay marriage, passed by voters in 2004, is unconstitutional and that states cannot discriminate against same-sex couples simply because some voters don’t like homosexuality. Though Black harshly criticized the gay marriage ban, his ruling was narrow and only applies to death certificates. Attorney General Mike DeWine previously told The Associated Press he would be appealing. “Our job is to defend the Ohio Constitution and state statutes … and that’s what we intend to do,” he said. In the ruling, Black wrote that “once you get married lawfully in one state, another state cannot summarily take your marriage away,” saying the right to remain married is recognized as a fundamental liberty in the U.S. Constitution. “When a state effec- tively terminates the marriage of a same-sex couple married in another jurisdiction, it intrudes into the realm of private marital, family, and intimate relations specifically protected by the Supreme Court,” he wrote. Black referenced Ohio’s historical practice of recognizing other out-of-state marriages even though they can’t legally be performed in Ohio, such as those involving cousins or minors. Black’s decision stems from a lawsuit in July by two gay Ohio men whose spouses recently died and wanted to be recognized on their death certificates as married. The two couples got married over the summer in states that allow same-sex marriage. Black said “there is absolutely no evidence that the state of Ohio or its citizens will be harmed” by his ruling but that without it, the harm would be severe for two men who filed the law- suit because it would strip them of the dignity and recognition given to opposite-sex couples. Two federal judges have reached the same conclusions as Black, though they went much further in their rulings. Judges in Oklahoma and Utah both recently struck down gay marriage bans in the deeply conservative states. Michigan seeks visas to lure immigrants to Detroit Judge throws out Oklahoma law on morning-after pill By Jeff Karoub By Tim Talley AP Writer DETROIT (AP) — Michigan Gov. Rick Snyder asked the federal government Thursday to set aside thousands of work visas for bankrupt Detroit, a bid to revive the decaying city by attracting talented immigrants who are willing to move there and stay for five years. The Republican governor has routinely touted immigration as a powerful potential force for growing Detroit’s economy, saying immigrant entrepreneurs start many small businesses and file patents at twice the rate of U.S.-born citizens. “Let’s send a message to the entire world: Detroit, Michigan, is open to the world,” Snyder said at a news conference. The proposal involves EB-2 visas, which are offered every year to legal immigrants who have advanced degrees or show exceptional ability in certain fields. But the governor’s ambitious plan faces significant hurdles: The visas are not currently allocated by region or state. And the number he is seeking — 50,000 over five years — would be a quarter of the total EB-2 visas offered. The program would require no federal financial bailout, the governor said, only the easing of immigration rules and visa limits to help fill jobs in automotive engineering, information technology, health care and life sciences. “It’s really taking up the offer of the federal government to say they want to help more,” Snyder said. “Isn’t this a great way that doesn’t involve large-scale financial contributions from the federal government to do something dramatic in Detroit?” He said the Obama administration has “been receptive to us bringing significant ideas to them, and this would be near the top of the list.” Snyder, a first-term governor who made millions as a computer industry executive and venture capitalist, said it’s not clear whether the White House could act administratively or if such a change would require legislative action. He said he’s talking about the proposal with Michigan’s congressional delegation and plans private meetings Friday with administration officials while in Washington for a panel discussion about the economic benefits of an immigration overhaul. The governor’s proposal seemed to take officials by surprise at the State Department, which works with the Homeland Security Department to decide on visa requests. In Washington, State Department deputy spokeswoman Marie Harf told reporters Thursday that she was aware of the governor’s comments but had no immediate response. Snyder’s office has said immigrants created nearly one-third of the high-tech businesses in Michigan in the last decade, and he cited a study that found for every job that goes to an immigrant, 2.5 are created for U.S.-born citizens. Being more welcoming to immigrants would also make the city more attractive to employers. “The point isn’t just to say, ‘Let’s have a lot of jobs created in Detroit for immigrants,’” he said. “Let’s step this up. Let’s do something that could really be a jumpstart to the continuing Swisher & Lohse Pharmacy comeback of Michigan and Detroit.” The city, the largest in American history to file for bankruptcy, has been hollowed out by a long population decline, from 1.8 million people in its heyday of the 1950s, to about 713,000 today at the time of the 2010 census. During that time, Detroit steadily lost many of its manufacturing jobs, and huge numbers of workers fled to the suburbs. The governor is trying to find flexibility in a waiver that allows foreign workers with a master’s degree or higher — or who demonstrate exceptional skills in science, business or art — to come to the U.S. if it’s in the “national interest.” Snyder wants to broaden the definition of national interest to apply it to Detroit, likening the concept to one already in place where foreignborn physicians can get a green card after working in an underserved area for five years. One critic of Snyder’s proposal said it appears to dismiss immigrants who have not achieved high levels of education. Even if it does not take a specific job away from native-born jobseekers, it makes immigrants “more marketable than educated current residents,” said the Rev. Horace Sheffield III, executive director of the Detroit Association of Black Organizations. “What does that do to displace people who are born here and who don’t have the education and are already competing for scarce jobs?” Sheffield said. “The other problem is the governor only picked educated immigrants. That only pits immigrants against immigrants.” About 1 in 5 Detroit residents are without a high school diploma, according to Detroit Future City, a 2012 report that examined how the city can remake itself. Another 35 percent have diplomas, but no other kind of training. And for every 100 residents, there are only 27 jobs, the study found. Under Snyder’s plan, Detroit would be allocated 5,000 visas in the first year, 10,000 each of the next three years and 15,000 in the fifth year. Snyder is especially keen on keeping foreign students in Michigan, many of whom come to the state to earn advanced degrees in science, technology, engineering or math, then leave. In his annual State of the State address last week, he announced a plan to join two other states in putting immigration services under a special office, as well as a separate initiative to make Michigan the second state to run a regional visa program to attract immigrant investors for development projects. Frank Venegas is chief executive and chairman of the Ideal Group, a family-owned manufacturing and construction company where the governor made Thursday’s announcement. Venegas, the grandson of Mexican immigrants, said Snyder’s proposals would benefit the struggling city and the company he started in 1979, which has grown to incorporate several subsidiaries and annual revenue of more than $200 million. “We’re the greatest country in the world.

AP Writer OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — An Oklahoma County judge Thursday ruled the state’s law that makes it harder for women to obtain the morning-after pill is unconstitutional and prohibited its enforcement. District Judge Lisa Davis ruled in favor of the New York-based Center for Reproductive Rights, which filed a lawsuit last year on behalf of the Oklahoma Coalition for Reproductive Justice and Jo Ann Mangili of Mounds, the mother of a 15-year-old girl. The law requires women 17 and older to have a prescription and show identification in order to obtain the Plan B One-Step pill and generic emergency contraceptives. It was signed by Gov. Mary Fallin last May in advance of the federal government approving unrestricted over-the-counter sales for emergency contraceptives a month later. Davis had temporarily blocked the law’s enforcement in August; it never went into effect. In handing down her ruling Thursday, Davis said she agreed with attorneys for the reproductive rights group that the law’s two sections, one involving the morningafter pill and the other involving health insurance benefit forms, were not germane and violated the single-subject rule of the state Constitution. Solicitor General Patrick Wyrick declined comment following the ruling. Opponents of the law had attacked it as the only such law targeting emergency contraception in the nation. “The judge’s ruling today is a win for women,” 740-992-2955 112 East Main Street Pomeroy, OH 45769 60478897 MT4RAN6 Oklahoma Coalition for Reproductive Justice director Martha Skeeters said. “It protects Oklahomans from unintended pregnancies. And it protects Oklahomans from a unique law.” The emergency contraceptive is designed to impede pregnancy by preventing ovulation or fertilization and is not capable of terminating an existing pregnancy. It is generally not effective more than 72 hours after sex. The law’s author, Rep. Colby Schwartz, R-Yukon, said it was passed in response to the government’s decision to allow unrestricted access to the pill, which he said was an overreach of authority. Schwartz also said the law was intended to maintain the status quo in Oklahoma. But an attorney for the Center for Reproductive Rights, David Brown, argued that at least six other state laws have been invalidated since 2008 for not being germane. “If the sections don’t pass the germaneness test, the laws is unconstitutional,” Brown said. “It deals with two unrelated subjects.” The lawsuit was the center’s latest challenge to legislation adopted by the Republicancontrolled Oklahoma Legislature dealing with women’s reproductive health — including antiabortion measures. In December 2012, the Oklahoma Supreme Court struck down laws that required women seeking abortions to see an ultrasound image while hearing a description of the fetus and banned off-label use of certain abortion-inducing drugs.
