Willett, 81 County ends 2013 with $385k carry over By Sarah Hawley shawley@civitasmedia.com POMEROY — The Meigs County Commissioners are starting out 2014 with a little extra money to work with. After many years of scraping to get by at the end of the year and letting some bills carry over to be paid the following year, the Com- missioner stated last week that the county ended 2013 with a carryover balance of $385,708.46. While the carry over is not quite as much as the commissioners had hoped for, it is a step in the right direction. “We are very pleased, but still not where we need to be,” said Commissioner Tim Ihle. “We did a lot of capital improvements and the sheriff has been busy.” The commissioners noted that all county office holders and employees have worked hard to be more efficient. Credit was also given to the offices of the prosecutor and treasurer for their work on increased real estate tax collections. Other boosts to the county budget have included the sales tax increase which took effect in Oct. 2012 and the casino revenue tax. In 2013, Meigs County received just over $267,000 from the casino revenue tax. Total sales tax revenue from 2013 is not know yet as the December figures are not available. For 2014, the county will operate on a budget of $4,642,347.88. In other business during Thursday’s regular meeting, the commissioners approved a request for $7,000 in furtherance of justice funds for the Meigs County Prosecutor.

Sub-freezing temperatures for a large part of January have resulted in a rare site in the Ohio River near Pomeroy. Large pieces of ice have been seen floating down the river over the past several days, including in these pictures taken on Saturday morning. Gray skies and messy roadways also greeted travelers throughout the area on Saturday as several inches of snow fell on top of what was already on the ground. With temperatures expected to remain below freezing for the next several days, ice in the river and snow covered area may remain throughout the early part of this week. Temperatures are not expected to be above freezing until at least Thursday in the Pomeroy area.

OVP’s offices have been receiving many calls from customers who haven’t been receiving their newspapers, Greg Weatherbee, regional manufacturing director for Civitas Media, OVP’s parent company, said. Weatherbee said he wanted those home delivery customers to know they are being heard and will receive their newspapers as soon as the weather relents. Weatherbee guessed by Thursday, rising temperatures should allow for delivery in areas which some carriers have considered hazardous due to recent snows, icy conditions and consistently low, even dangerously low, temperatures.

Prompted by the extreme cold forecast, PJM Interconnection, the electricity grid operator for more than 61 million people in 13 states and the District of Columbia, requested Monday that customers of all of its member utilities — including AEP Ohio — conserve electricity Tuesday. The wave of frigid weather is expected to push up demand for electricity to potentially recordbreaking levels, straining the capacity of the nation’s power grid. Using energy efficiently will help ensure that adequate supplies of electricity are available to all. The demand for electricity and the need for conservation are expected to be highest Tuesday. AEP Ohio asks consumers to conserve electricity, if health permits — especially from 6 a.m. to 10 a.m. on Tuesday as well as between 5 p.m. to 9 p.m. Simple ways to conserve electricity and stay warm include: - Set thermostats as low as appropriate to maintain health and comfort. - Postpone using major electric appliances, such as stoves, dishwashers and clothes dryers until mid-day or after 9 p.m., when the demand for electricity decreases. - Turn off electric lights and appliances that you do not need or are not using. - Keep doors and windows closed as much as possible, including overhead doors on attached garages. - Seal off unheated, unused rooms. - Open curtains on the sunny side of the house to warm up your home. No sun? Close the shades to keep warm air in. - Unless it is equipped specifi- cally for home heating, use fireplaces sparingly. Warm air escapes through the chimney so close the damper when not in use. - Cover hot water pipes with an insulating jacket and set the water heater to between 120 and 130 degrees. AEP Ohio also encourages consumers to keep safety in mind when heating their homes: - Take extreme care when using space heaters. Place at least three feet away from anything that can burn, including walls, and unplug it before leaving the room. - Never use a stove or oven to heat your home. - If using a fireplace, use a glass or metal fire screen large enough to catch sparks or rolling logs. - Use generators correctly — never operate one inside your home, including the basement or garage. - Guard against carbon monoxide poisoning. Make sure you have working smoke and carbon monoxide detectors and that their batteries are fresh. - Prevent your pipes from freezing by running a constant trickle of water. Open the kitchen and bathroom cabinets to allow warmer air to circulate around the plumbing. These actions not only will help customers conserve energy, but also will help mitigate the impact of higher electricity bills due to usage. AEP Ohio has lineman ready to respond should electric service be impacted throughout its territory. If an outage occurs, please call 1-800-672-2231 or click the “Report an Outage” link at AEPOhio.com. The status of outages also can be checked by clicking the “Check an Outage Status” link on the website.

Persistent below-zero temps visit Midwest again CHICAGO (AP) — A second deep freeze in weeks locked the Midwest in its icy grip Monday, prompting schools to close, airlines to cancel flights and the mass mobilization of emergency crews to dig out major roadways. From Chicago, where parents were forced to bringing their kids to work or call in sick to stay home and care for them, to South Dakota, where officials were warning about treacherous driving conditions, this latest round of subzero highs in many parts of the Midwest had many people wondering when it would end. “I’m moving to Alaska where it’s warmer,” Kathy Berg said in jest — though it’s in fact true of current weather conditions — as she arrived by train for her job in Chicago wearing a long-sleeved t-shirt, sweatshirt, polar fleece Carry From Page 1 Feb. 20, with the viewing to be held at the road site at 9:30 a.m. and the hearing to be held during the commissioner meeting at 11 a.m. Letters will be sent to property owners in the area and a legal notice with exact location will be printed prior to the viewing and hearing. The commissioners went into executive session with the prosecutor for personnel matters. Bills were approved in the amount of $228,186.69, with $8,070.69 from county general. Minutes from the previous meeting were also approved. All three commissioners were present for the meeting. Chaplains From Page 1 The story goes that a convoy of three ships and three escorting Coast Guard cutters passed through “torpedo alley” some 100 miles off the coast of Greenland at about 1 a.m. on Feb. 3, 1943. The submarine U-223 fired three torpedoes, one of which hit the midsection of the Dorchester, a U.S. Army troopship with more than 900 men on board. The four chaplains on board — two Protestant pastors, a Catholic priest and a Jewish rabbi — were among the first on deck, calming the men and handing out life jackets. When they ran out, they took off their own and placed them on waiting soldiers without regard to faith or race. Approximately 18 minutes after the explosion, the ship went down. They were last seen by witnesses as standing arm-in-arm on the hull of the ship, each praying in his own way for the care of the men. Of the 902 men aboard the Dorchester, 672 died, leaving 230 survivors. hoodie, winter coat, knit cap, two scarves and two pair of gloves. A persistent weather pattern that’s driving Arctic air south was forecast to force temperatures to plummet for about 2 1/2 days, starting overnight Sunday. Actual temperatures will range from the teens in northern Kentucky to double-digits below zero in Minnesota, but even colder wind chills were expected — minus 43 in Minneapolis; minus 18 in Dayton, Ohio; minus 14 in Kansas City, Mo.; and minus 3 in Louisville, Ky. Township News Salisbury Township SALISBURY TWP. — John Hood was elected president and Bill Spaun vice president during the recent re-organizational meeting of the Salisbury Township trustees. Manning Roush is the third trustee and Marilyn Anderson is the fiscal officer. Regular meetings were set for 5 p.m. on the second Tuesday of each month at the home of Manning Roush. The four chaplains were Father John Washington (Catholic), Reverend Clark Poling (Dutch Reformed), Rabbi Alexander Goode (Jewish) and Rev. George Fox (Methodist). These four men of God were later honored by the leaders of their country for their selfless acts of courage, compassion and faith.

Negative perceptions of the health care rollout have eased, a new Associated Press-GfK poll finds. But overall, two-thirds of Americans say things still aren’t going well. Of those who’ve tried to sign up, or who live with someone who has, 71 percent have encountered problems. But the share reporting success jumped to 40 percent from a meager 24 percent in December. “Everything is not perfect; it takes time to work out the glitches,” said Carol Lyles, a homecare provider from Los Angeles who was able to get coverage as a result of the law. “If done right, I believe it will provide the services that are needed.” The poll comes with about 60 days left in open enrollment season. The administration is playing catch-up to meet its goal of signing up 7 million people in new insurance exchanges that offer subsidized private coverage to middle-class households. So far, the markets have attracted an older crowd that tends to be more costly to cover. Younger people in the coveted 18-34 age group are still mainly on the sidelines. While the poll did not find a turnaround for “Obamacare,” the trend offers some comfort for supporters of the health care law. In December, 76 percent of adults had said the opening of the new markets was not going well. Such negative perceptions have now fallen 10 points to 66 percent. Still, rave reviews remain rare. Only 4 percent said things were going extremely or very well, while another 17 percent said things were going somewhat well. Compare that to 38 percent who said the rollout had gone not at all well. Another 28 percent said things were not going too well. Add those together and it makes up two-thirds of the public. “People were locked out of the system,” said Karyle Knowles, a restaurant server from San Antonio. “They weren’t able to access what they should have, which only added to the mayhem.” The White House had hoped to bring the ease of online shopping to the daunting process of buying health insurance. Instead, the federal website serving 26 states froze up when it was launched Oct. 1. Some of the 14 states running their own sites also encountered problems. It took the better part of two months to straighten out the issues with the federal exchange. The administration reported Friday that 3 million people have now signed up for private coverage through federal and state markets, and another 6.3 million have been deemed eligible for Medicaid coverage. It’s not clear how many of those were previously uninsured. According to the poll, many website users have had a frustrating experience. Among those who’ve tried to sign up, just 8 percent say it worked well, 29 percent somewhat well, 53 percent not well. The public’s take on the law itself is stable, with 27 percent saying they back it, 42 percent opposed and 30 percent neutral. Those figures are unchanged since December.

But among the uninsured generally, there’s a more even divide, with 30 percent saying they support the law while 33 percent oppose it. The major elements of the health care law took effect with the new year. Virtually all Americans are now required to get covered or risk fines. Insurers can no longer turn away people with health problems. And the exchanges are open for business. Enrollment in the Medicaid safety-net program is also rising. That’s partly because of a program expansion accepted by about half the states and partly as a consequence of previously eligible but unenrolled people now forced to comply with the law’s individual coverage mandate. Last week, Utah’s Republican Gov. Gary Herbert said his state plans to become the 26th to accept the expansion. The AP-GfK Poll was conducted Jan. 17-21 using KnowledgePanel, GfK’s probability-based online panel designed to be representative of the U.S. population. It involved online interviews with 1,060 adults, and has a margin of sampling error of plus or minus 3.9 percentage points for the full sample. Respondents were first selected randomly using phone or mail survey methods, and were later interviewed online. People selected for KnowledgePanel who didn’t otherwise have access to the Internet were provided with the ability to access the Internet at no cost. AP News Survey Specialist Dennis Junius contributed to this report. Online: AP-GfK Poll: http://www.ap-gfkpoll. com WASHINGTON (AP) — From the White House to the Vatican to the business elite in Davos, Switzerland, one issue keeps seizing the agenda: the growing gap between the very wealthy and everyone else. It’s “the defining challenge of our time,” says President Barack Obama, who will spotlight the issue in his State of the Union address Tuesday night. A Gallup poll finds two-thirds of Americans are unhappy with the nation’s distribution of wealth. Experts say it may be slowing the economy. Why has the issue suddenly galvanized attention? Here are questions and answers about the wealth gap — what it is and why it matters. Q. Hasn’t there always been a wide gulf between the richest people and the poorest? A. Yes. What’s new is the widening gap between the wealthiest and everyone else. Three decades ago, Americans’ income tended to grow at roughly similar rates, no matter how much you made. But since roughly 1980, income has grown most for the top earners. For the poorest 20 percent of families, it’s dropped. Incomes for the highest-earning 1 percent of Americans soared 31 percent from 2009 through 2012, after adjusting for inflation, according to data compiled by Emmanuel Saez, an economist at University of California, Berkeley. For the rest of us, it inched up an average of 0.4 percent. In 17 of 22 developed countries, income disparity widened in the past two decades, according to the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development. Q. So who are the top 1 percent in income? A. They’re bankers, lawyers, hedge fund managers, founders of successful companies, entertainers, senior managers and others. One trend: Corporate executives, doctors, and farmers made up smaller shares of the top 1 percent in 2005 than in 1979. By contrast, the proportion of the wealthiest who work in the financial and real estate industries has doubled. The top 1 percent earned at least $394,000 in 2012. Through most of the post-World War II era, the top 1 percent earned about 10 percent of all income. By 2007, that figure had jumped to 23.5 percent, the most since 1928. As of 2012, it was 22.5 percent. Q. How has the middle class fared? A. Not well. Median household income peaked in 1999 at $56,080, adjusted for inflation. It fell to $51,017 by 2012. The percentage of American households with income within 50 percent of the median — one way of measuring the middle class — fell from 50 percent in 1970 to 42 percent in 2010. Q. Does it matter if some people are much richer than others? A. Most economists say some inequality is needed to reward hard work, talent and innovation. But a wealth gap that’s too wide 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.

It can slow economic growth, in part because richer Americans save more of their income than do others. Pay concentrated at the top is less likely to be spent. It can also trigger reckless borrowing. Before the 2008 financial crisis, middle class households struggled to keep up their spending even as their pay stagnated. To do so, they piled up debt. Swelling debt helped inflate the housing bubble and ignite the financial crisis. Experts note that the Great Depression and the Great Recession were both preceded by surging income gaps and heedless borrowing by middle class Americans. Q. Has it become harder for someone born poor to become rich? A. The evidence is mixed. Countries that have more equal income distributions, such as Sweden and other Scandinavian countries, tend to enjoy more social mobility. But a study released last week found that the United States isn’t any less mobile than it was in the 1970s. A child born in the poorest 20 percent of families in 1986 had a 9 percent chance of reaching the top 20 percent as an adult, the study found — roughly the same odds as in 1971. Other research has shown that the United States isn’t as socially mobile as once thought. In a study of 22 countries, economist Miles Corak of the University of Ottawa found that the United States ranked 15th in social mobility. Only Italy and the Britain among wealthy countries ranked lower. By some measures, children in the United States are as likely to inherit their parents’ economic status as their height. Q. So why has income inequality worsened? A. There’s no simple answer. Globalization has created “superstars” and concentrated pay among corporate executives, Wall Street traders, popular entertainers and other financial elite. At the same time, factory workers now compete with 3 billion people in China, India, eastern Europe and elsewhere who weren’t working for multinational corporations 20 years ago. Many now make products for Apple, Intel, General Motors and others at low wages. This has depressed middle-class pay. And pay has risen much faster for college graduates than for high-school graduates. These trends have contributed to a “hollowed out” labor market, with more jobs at the higher and lower ends of the pay scale and fewer in the middle. Social factors contribute, too. Singleparent families are more likely to be poor than other families and less likely to ascend the income ladder. Finally, men and women with college degrees and high pay are more likely to marry each other and amplify income gaps.

Interment will be in Elk Cemetery, McArthur. Friends may call at the Garrett-Cardaras Funeral Home, 201 W. High St., McArthur, on COLUMBUS — On Monday, Gov. John R. Kasich urged the Ohio General Assembly and Ohio Department of Education to work together on legislation providing a one-time increase in the number of days that schools can take off because of snow or bad weather. Kasich said a one-time increase of just a few days is needed since so many Ohio schools have used — or are close to using — their five allowable “calamity” days due to the unusually severe winter weather this year. “School closures can, of course, be an inconvenience but student safety always comes first. Many schools have already hit the maximum number of snow days, or will soon, and if they exceed it and have to extend the school year it can wreak havoc with schools budgets and schedules. Giving schools a few extra snow days this year will be helpful and let everyone stay focused on the top priority when weather hits, keeping kids safe,” said Kasich. Ohio law allows schools five “calamity” days a year before they must start adding days to the school year. Kasich enacted legislation in 2011 increasing the number of calamity days from three to five. This proposed increase would be for the current school year only. MYERS BIDWELL — Carla M.

Putin’s personal pitch — delivered partly in English and French — did the trick as Sochi beat out bids from South Korea and Austria for the right to stage the 2014 Games on the so-called “Russian Riviera.” Putin’s political influence and Rus- sia’s might bowled over the International Olympic Committee on that day. It was a risky choice then and it shapes up as even riskier now. With the opening ceremony less than two weeks away, Putin’s prestige and his country’s reputation are at stake — riding on a $51 billion mega-project meant to showcase a modern Russia but overshadowed by a barrage of concerns over terrorism, gay rights, human rights, corruption, waste and overspending. No other Winter Games has faced such an acute terror threat. No other Winter Olympics has been so engulfed in politics. No other recent Olympics has been so closely associated with one man — Putin, the “captain” of the Sochi team. Amid a politically charged atmosphere and ominous security climate, can Putin and Russia deliver a safe and successful Olympics? Can Sochi defy the grim predictions and dazzle the world with well-organized games featuring shiny new venues, picturesque mountains and the world’s best winter sports athletes? See SOCHI | 7 Submitted Photo Rio Grande’s Josh Reagan, shown here in a win over Shawnee State from earlier this season, was named the MidSouth Conference Player of the Week. The award was Reagan’s second of the season. Rio’s Josh Reagan named MSC Player of the Week By Randy Payton URG Sports Information COLUMBIA, Ky. — University of Rio Grande junior forward Josh Reagan is the Mid-South Conference Men’s Basketball Player of the Week, conference officials announced on Monday. The weekly honor is Reagan’s second this season. He also earned the award on Jan. 6. The Cleveland, Ohio, forward averaged 29.5 points and seven rebounds per game last week as the RedStorm split a pair of road games. Reagan posted 13 points and five rebounds in a 9678 loss at No. 4-ranked Pikeville (Ky.) on Thursday night. Foul trouble limited Reagan to just five shots in 22 minutes of play in the nationally-ranked matchup. On Saturday, Reagan scored a season-high 46 points while grabbing nine rebounds in Rio Grande’s 88-85 win at Bluefield (Va.). He finished the game shooting 17-of-19 from the field and 11-of-16 at the free throw line in the win. The 46 points represents the highest point total in a single game this season from a Mid-South men’s basketball player and second highest in the NAIA this season. Reagan concluded the week shooting 79.2 percent (19-of-24) from the field and 67.9 percent (19of-28) from the free throw line. He also hit both of his 3-point attempts while posting three steals and two assists in the two games. In his eight games this season, Reagan is averaging 19.9 points and six rebounds per game. He’s shooting 54.9 percent from the field this season. No. 20-ranked Rio Grande is now 14-6 on the season and 7-2 in the MidSouth with last week’s results. Randy Payton is the Director of Sports Information at the University of Rio Grande.

Guy Fisher went 3-1 and finished second in the 126-pound division , while Jon Peterson ended the weekend with second place in the 182 weight class following a 3-1 effort. Tannor Hill was also third in the 195 division with a 4-1 mark. John Raike (132), Austin Rutter (152) and Josh Hudson (160) each placed sixth in their respective weight classes. Rutter went 4-3 overall, while Raike was 3-2 and Hudson was 2-1. Both Raike and Hudson had to foreit at least one match due to injury. Jacob Duncan was seventh in the 220-pound weight class with a 4-2 mark, while Scotty Wilcox was eighth overall in the 113 division following a 3-3 effort. Austin Wamsley (120), Andrew Roach (138), Dakota Swann (138), Hunter White (145), Grant Safford (170) and Alec Stanley (285) also recorded at least one win apiece at the event. The White Falcons — who finished 23rd overall out of 35 schools — posted a team score of 52 points to finish seventh in the Class AA-A division. Independence won the smaller-school title with 215 points, while Greenbrier West (162.5) and North Marion (107) rounded out the top-three spots.

Complete results of the 2014 WSAZ Invitational are available on the web at wvmat.com Tolbert conversion gives Rice 22-21 Pro Bowl win HONOLULU (AP) — The NFL’s all-stars are defending their effort in the lowest scoring Pro Bowl in eight years — a game that pitted teammates against each other in a contest decided in the final minute. “The game was as good as an allstar game or Pro Bowl could ever be and it’s been a great week,” said New Orleans tight end Jimmy Graham, who caught an 8-yard touchdown from Saints teammate Drew Brees in the second quarter Sunday en route to a 22-21 victory for Jerry Rice over Deion Sanders. Dallas running back DeMarco Murray caught a 20-yard touchdown pass with 41 seconds left and Carolina running back Mike Tolbert plunged into the end zone for a 2-point conversion to give Rice the win in the first NFL all-star game to stray from the AFC versus NFC format. Rice also earned fresh bragging rights on Sanders nearly a decade after both players retired from the NFL. “They called my number the whole way,” Tolbert said on the field after the game. “Philip (Rivers) told them to give it to me. My old teammate, he told them to give it to me.” Baltimore’s Justin Tucker missed a 67-yard field goal on the game’s final play after missing a 66-yarder earlier in the game. Rice’s team came back after Philadelphia quarterback Nick Foles threw a 12-yard touchdown to Cleveland tight end Jordan Cameron with less than 5 minutes to play to give Sanders a 21-14 lead. The touchdowns by Cameron and Murray were the only scores of the second half in a game that had eight turnovers — including six interceptions — and nine sacks. “It was definitely sloppy. There was a lot of turnovers because of the weather,” said Houston defensive end J.J. Watt, who was a captain on Sanders’ team. “There was a lot of rain, so obviously that factored into it.” The game was played in consistent rain, but little wind and temperatures in the high 70s. Foles was the only quarterback of six in the game to not throw an interception. He was named offensive MVP, finishing with seven completions for 89 yards. Philadelphia wide receiver DeSean Jackson and Carolina quarterback Cam Newton also had touchdowns for Team Sanders. Graham and Cleveland wide receiver Josh Gordon caught touchdowns for Team Rice. Gordon led Team Rice with six catches for 66 yards, while Washington running back Alfred Morris had four catches for 69 yards. The Pro Bowlers were split up by the NFL greats in a new draft format meant to improve the game. The picks made earlier in the week created matchups that pitted usual teammates against each other and challenged Rice and Sanders to compare the all-stars against one another. That led to plenty of trash talk between Rice and Sanders and some bruised egos among players used to being on top of their sport. See BOWL | 7 �Tuesday, January 28, 2014 The Daily Sentinel s Page 7 www.mydailysentinel.com THC-Hawks? Pot puns If the glove fits, Peyton is wearing it pack this Super Bowl NEW YORK (AP) — Chances are Peyton Manning will be like most of the fans in the stands at MetLife Stadium and will wear gloves at the Super Bowl. That shouldn’t be a cause for concern for Denver Broncos fans. He actually plays better with the stickyfeeling orange-and-gray glove on his right hand than he does barehanded. Manning never wore a glove in Indianapolis but in his two years in Denver he’s worn one on either his throwing hand or on both hands 13 times. He has a passer rating of 111.9 in those games. Barehanded, his QB rating is 108.7. It’s not just a cold-weather option, as many people think, either. The glove is actually a concession to the altered feel of his grip after spinal fusion surgery in 2011 affected the nerve that travels into his right triceps. He’s worn the glove the last four games, when the temperatures at kickoff have been 58 at Houston, 70 at Oakland, 41 at home against San Diego, and 63 last Sunday in Denver against New England. “I’ve experimented with them throughout my career, even when I was in Indy,” Manning said earlier this season. “I never just quite found a pair that I liked, so I finally found a pair that I liked.” Broncos equipment manager Chris Valenti and his assistant Mike Harrington “researched and gave me some options,” Manning said. “Found a pair that I liked.” Good thing, too. Manning has thrown for 33 TDs and five interceptions, including the playoffs, with the glove on his throwing hand in 10 games this season. The Broncos went 8-2 in those games, when he averaged 27 completions in 41 throws for 332 yards with 3.1 TDs and 0.8 interceptions. BACK TO THE MEADOWLANDS: When they made the trip to the East Coast in December, the last thing anyone in the Seahawks’ locker room wanted to talk about was them playing a late-season game at the site of the Super Bowl. Once they knocked off San Francisco to win the NFC title, coach Pete Carroll and his players were willing to admit there is some advantage to being familiar with the surroundings they are about to enter. “I always like using those illustrations on where we have been there before and we’ve done that. We just try to hold back on that at the time, thinking it was too presumptuous, but we’re fortunate now,” Carroll Mark Reis | Colorado Springs Gazette | MCT photo Denver Broncos Peyton Manning smiles at the bench before kneeling down for the conclusion of the AFC championship game at Sports Authority Field at Mile High in Denver on Sunday, Jan. 19. The Denver Broncos defeated the New England Patriots, 26-16. said. “We’ll be in the same hotel, we’ve been in that locker room, we’ve played well at that stadium, so hopefully we’ll utilize that some. It’s just about being comfortable.” Seattle used the same hotel for its trip to play the Giants on Dec. 15 as the NFC team hotel for the Super Bowl. This will also be the Seahawks’ third time playing at MetLife Stadium in the past three seasons. Seattle beat the Giants 3625 in 2011 and then shut them out 23-0 last month. But it’s beyond just knowing the stadium and the team hotel that has helped prepare some of Seattle’s players for the Super Bowl. Russell Wilson purposely went to last year’s big game in New Orleans, with studying a priority. He wanted to see all of the hoopla so if Wilson ever got there the magnitude wouldn’t be a shock to him. “I watched the whole game and watched the pregame and all that last year at the Super Bowl and I really wanted to get a feel for it,” Wilson said. “Just in case we were here and I believed that we would be, and sure enough, we are.” So is Denver, which played at MetLife Stadium in September, beating the Giants. MILITARY MEN: Fans of the Broncos and Seahawks are winners, too. Their fans’ military appreciation efforts won rewards for their local military communities from USAA, an official NFL sponsor. Both Denver and Seattle were among five NFL teams to earn those rewards as part of USAA’s “Million Fan Salute,” a season-long military appreciation program. Also earning rewards were fans of the Packers, Buccaneers and Vikings. SEATTLE (AP) — The way Bryan Weinman sees it, he and his friends already won their Super Bowl bet. Two weeks ago, the nightclub DJ and a few buddies were sitting at a sports bar in Denver, joking about how funny it would be if the Seattle Seahawks and Denver Broncos — the NFL teams from the two states that have legalized marijuana — made it to the big game. They decided to plunk down a $44 wager — the fee for registering the Internet domain www.stonerbowl.org — just before the Seahawks and Broncos won their conference championships. It paid off. They’re now using the site to hawk T-shirts and hats celebrating the coincidence. One shirt features the Vince Lombardi Trophy, reserved for the game’s victors, refashioned into a bong. Another features a spoof of the league’s logo, with the letters “THC” — for marijuana’s active compound — replacing “NFL.” From weed-themed Super Bowl parties to a Denver company’s “Stoner Bowl” tours of recreational pot shops, this year’s Super Bowl offers a twist on a sporting event better known for its beer commercials. Thanks to the recreational marijuana laws passed by voters in 2012, sales of taxed pot to adults over 21 began at Colorado pot shops Jan. 1 and are due to begin in Washington later this year. There have been a slew of predictable, ready-made puns, most of which have to do with “bowl” being the part of the pipe where pot goes. Some fans have issued not-quite-serious calls for a cannabis-friendly musician — say, Willie Nelson or Snoop Dogg — to sing the national anthem. “I’m staying home and will be watching the Super Bowl while I light up my own Super Bowl,” well-known stoner Tommy Chong, of the comedy duo Cheech and Chong, wrote on its Facebook page. The pair released a publicity photo doctored to show Chong in a Seahawks headband and Cheech Marin in a knit Broncos hat. The Washington chapter of NORML, the National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws, said it would be rooting on the “THC-Hawks.” It made a friendly bet with Colorado NORML for what they’re calling “Bud Bowl XLVIII.” If Denver wins, the Washington chapter has to dress in Broncos colors and sing John Denver’s “Rocky Mountain High.” If Seattle wins, the Colorado chapter must dress in Seahawks colors and sing “Purple Haze,” by Seattle native Jimi Hendrix. Video evidence is to be posted on the winner’s Facebook page for at least a week. In deference to the importance of good officiating, High Times magazine offered a guide to spotting “Stoner Bowl” party fouls, including the offense of “holding”: “When the violator takes, two, three, maybe eight hits before passing the joint.” On Twitter, People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals promoted its recipe for vegan “Colorado catnip” brownies, with caveats: “Note: This recipe is for humans only. Also note: This recipe is for legally obtained marijuana. PETA does not condone the purchase or sale of illegal drugs.” At the sports bar, Weinman, 35, and his friends scribbled down their T-shirt ideas — first on coasters, and then paper. Their motto: “One team and a lot of fans are gonna get smoked.” “There’s so many easy jokes,” he said. “I hope the average person finds comedy in what we’re doing.” Even if the average person might, it’s not clear the NFL does. “We do not have any response,” league spokesman Greg Aiello wrote in an email. Derek Franklin, president of the Washington Association for Substance Abuse and Violence Prevention, said all the attention about the “Weed Bowl or the Bong Bowl, what have you, it drives home the wrong public health message.” Sochi From Page 6 Lest we forget, the Olympics are also supposed to be about sports and athletes: Alex Ovechkin, Sidney Crosby and other NHL stars competing for their home countries on the hockey rink; snowboard great Shaun White doing new gravity-defying flips and twists; South Korean figure skating queen Yuna Kim performing graceful magic on the ice; American teen sensation Mikaela Shiffrin zipping through the slalom gates. About 3,000 athletes from more than 80 countries will be competing in 98 medal events. Twelve new events are on the program, with women’s ski jumping making its debut after being rejected for inclusion at the 2010 Vancouver Games. The medals race is likely to be between Norway, the United States, Canada and Germany. The Russians, coming off their worst ever Winter Games in Vancouver, are determined to bounce back on home territory. A gold medal from the Ovechkin-led hockey team would be the ultimate prize for a country that hasn’t won the Olympic title since a “Unified Team” of former Soviet republics triumphed in 1992. “Olympics are probably the most important thing for Russians,” Ovechkin said. Sochi will also offer up its share of human-interest story lines: — the return of the Jamaican bobsled team for the first time since 2002, rekindling the feel-good story of 1988 that inspired the film “Cool Runnings.” — track and field stars Lolo Jones and Lauryn Williams switching from the Summer Olympics to Winter Games as members of the U.S. women’s bobsled team. — British-based classical-pop musician VanessaMae trading her violin for a pair of skis to compete for Thailand, her father’s native country. — and, yes, those wild and crazy pants worn by the Norwegian men’s curling team — red, white and blue zig-zag patterns this time. For now, the world’s focus remains squarely on the terror danger posed by the Islamic insurgency in the Northern Caucasus. An Islamic militant group in Dagestan claimed responsibility for two suicide bombings that killed 34 people in late December in Volgograd and threatened to attack the games in Sochi. Russian security officials have been hunting for three potential female suicide bombers, one of whom is believed to be in Sochi itself. The suspects are known as “black widows,” women seeking to avenge husbands or male relatives killed in Russia’s fight against insurgents in the region. “We know some of them got through the perimeter,” said Rep. Michael McCaul, chairman of the U.S. House Homeland Security Committee. “What we don’t know is how many more black widows are out there. … How many potential cells could be in Sochi and the Olympic Village?” Russia is mounting what is believed to be the biggest security operation ever for an Olympics, deploying more than 50,000 police and soldiers to protect the games. The cordon includes naval warships, antiaircraft batteries and drone aircraft. Two U.S. warships will be in the Black Sea to help if needed. “We will try to make sure that the security measures taken aren’t too intrusive or visible and that they won’t put pressure on the athletes, guests and journalists,” Putin said. Sochi’s preparations have also been clouded by the Western uproar against a Russian law enacted last year that prohibits gay “propaganda” among minors. Critics and gay activists say the law discriminates against homosexuals and could be used against anyone openly supporting gay rights at the games. Putin has insisted there will be no discrimination of any kind against any athletes or spectators in Sochi, yet his recent comments linking homosexuality and pedophilia have only inflamed the issue. The IOC, meanwhile, has reminded athletes to comply with “Rule 50” of the Olympic Charter, which forbids protests or political gestures at Olympic venues. President Barack Obama has seized on the issue by sending a U.S. delegation to Sochi that includes three openly gay members — tennis great Billie Jean King, figure skater Brian Boitano and ice hockey player Caitlin Cahow. Hoping to show off a resurgent Russia that emerged from the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991, organizers have built virtually all Olympic facilities from scratch to turn a decaying, Stalinist-era resort into what they hope will be a year-round tourist destination and winter sports mecca for the region. Sochi features one of the most compact layouts in Olympic history, with all indoor arenas located close to each other in an Olympic Park along the coast. The cluster of snow venues are about 45 minutes away in the Krasnaya Polyana mountains. “The venues will be perhaps the most spectacular, the best ever,” said senior Norwegian IOC member Gerhard Heiberg, who organized the 1994 Winter Games in Lillehammer. The project has come at a monumental cost: the $51 billion price tag, which includes construction of news road, tunnels, rail lines and other longterm infrastructure investments, is a record for any Winter or Summer Games. Billions of dollars have disappeared in kickbacks, embezzlement or mismanagement, critics claim. “What’s not good is all the money that’s been spent,” said Heiberg, head of the IOC marketing commission. “This could influence very badly cities thinking about bidding for the games.” In spite of all the criticism, IOC members believe the Russians deserve the chance to prove the choice of Sochi was the right one. “Russia today is not the Soviet Union of 1980,” Canadian member Dick Pound said. “They are certainly capable of organizing a Winter Olympics. They have created a winter sports complex out of virtually nothing and they did it in 5-6 years. My guess is they will deliver good games.” Bowl From Page 6 “Great Job Goat!!!!” Sanders tweeted toward Rice after the game. “Enjoy this moment cause u know I’m hot right now.” The result Sunday was a game that appeared more competitive than in years past, with some big hits — even between teammates — and fewer shenanigans. “It was crazy, but we had fun with it,” Gordon said. “I loved it and enjoyed it.” Gordon was flipped by teammate T.J. Ward on one of the biggest hits in the game. “I don’t think he knew what he was doing, but I’ll give him the benefit of a doubt on that one,” Gordon said. “I’ll get him back in Cleveland.” Jackson caught the game’s first touchdown pass from Indianapolis quarterback Andrew Luck. Luck threw the ball 36 yards into double coverage in the end zone on a flea flicker, where Jackson wrestled it away from Titans cornerback Alterraun Verner. Graham caught an 8-yard fade in the second quarter from Brees, turning around Brees’ slow start. Graham dunked the ball over the crossbar in celebration, but San Diego safety Eric Weddle jokingly defended the attempt. Newton scored on 1-yard run up the middle for a touchdown, making up for an earlier interception on a ball Cleveland cornerback Joe Haden wrestled away from Jackson. Kansas City linebacker Derrick Johnson — who had a big hit in the first half on Chiefs teammate Jamaal Charles — was selected as the game’s defensive MVP for Team Rice. “I didn’t expect it, but he’s out there doing his thing,” said Charles, who was knocked out of Kansas City’s playoff loss to Indianapolis with a concussion. “I can’t get mad at him — it’s just about football and you’ve just got to be ready.” “If you stand back, he’s going to make you look pretty bad, so I had to go out and really give it to him,” Johnson said. “I would never try to hurt my teammate at all, but compete a little bit.” Johnson had nine tackles, including eight solo tackles. Carolina linebacker Luke Kuechly had 12 tackles, including 11 solo tackles. Atlanta Falcons tight end Tony Gonzalez caught three passes for 50 yards in his final NFL game. The retiring receiver likely headed to the Hall of Fame was a replacement in the game for 49ers tight end Vernon Davis. Gonzalez said there is “no chance” he’ll return next year. “This is it for me. I had the privilege of a nice, long career in this league and I was blessed to have done so,” Gonzalez said. “It was nice to be able to come back to Hawaii for the Pro Bowl one last time and end it out here.” �Page 8 s The Daily Sentinel www.mydailysentinel.com LEGALS Help Wanted General Lebanon Township will hold their monthly meeting on January 31,2014 at 6PM.The meeting will be at the township garage.01/28 Administrator Wanted A Christian Preschool Program is searching for an Administrator/Ministry Team Leader to operate a local Preschool.

By Dave Green �Page 10 s The Daily Sentinel www.mydailysentinel.com Tuesday, January 28, 2014 Centers losing out in All-Star voting By Jon Krawczynski The Associated Press Sacramento’s DeMarcus Cousins and Minnesota’s Nikola Pekovic have been two of the most unstoppable offensive forces in the Western Conference in the first half of this season. The burly centers have imposed their will on overmatched opponents and their success would have made them shoo-ins for the All-Star game in years past. Not this season. Both big men could have a hard time getting to New Orleans next month. Last year the NBA stopped requiring fans, and coaches, to vote for a center. The change reflects the waning influence of big men on the game, and opens the door to better accommodate the influx of deserving forwards, especially in the West. “That doesn’t help the centers in the NBA when they went to a backcourtfrontcourt,” Kings coach Michael Malone said. “I think DeMarcus and the season he’s having is definitely worthy of All-Star consideration. And you look at what Pekovic has been able to do, the guy is the second-best offensive rebounder in the NBA. He scores at a very efficient rate in the post.” Timberwolves President Flip Saunders said Pekovic deserves to be there. “Of course that’s the biggest individual thing for every basketball player playing in the NBA,” Pekovic said. “For me, the guys who give me the money, the guys who pay me, if they got that opinion about me, that means I’m doing a great job.” No centers were voted into the All-Star game, prompting Houston’s Dwight Howard to release a spoof infomercial imploring viewers to “save the center.” Howard and Indiana’s Roy Hibbert likely will be chosen as reserves by the coaches, while Pekovic, Cousins and Detroit’s Andre Drummond are among the other bigs hoping to get a call. ——— Here are five things to watch this week: DURANT’S ROLL: With Russell Westbrook out, Kevin Durant has played like the league MVP and put the Oklahoma City Thunder on his back. He’s averaged 38.2 points over the last 10 games, including two 48-point games, a 54-point eruption to beat the Warriors and a tripledouble to beat Philadelphia last week. MELO’S PATIENCE: Carmelo Anthony erupted for a Madison Square Garden record 62 points against the Bobcats on Friday night. It was a brief respite from a miserable season for the New York Knicks. Last week he questioned the effort of his teammates and suddenly staying in New York doesn’t seem like such a slam dunk. This week, Anthony and the Knicks host the Heat. LEBRON IN THE GARDEN: LeBron James always seems to bring a little something extra when he visits the Garden. After a mini-slump last week, you can bet King James will be ready to put on a show when the Heat come to town on Saturday. READY TO RUMBLE: The Clippers visit the Warriors on Thursday, reprising a rivalry that has gotten more and more heated Kyndell Harkness | Minneapolis Star Tribune | MCT photo The Minnesota Timberwolves’ Nikola Pekovic is fouled by the Sacramento Kings’ DeMarcus Cousins (15) during the first half at the Target Center in Minneapolis on Wednesday, Jan. 15. with each meeting. They last met on Dec. 26, when the Clippers stormed out fuming and alleging the Warriors baited Blake Griffin into an ejection. GAY’S ACHILLES: Few players have taken more criticism than over the last two years than Rudy Gay. But he’s been tremendous since being traded to the Kings, including his 41-point night against the Pelicans last week. He injured his left Achilles the next game and the Kings are playing it safe with their swingman. ——— STAT LINE OF THE WEEK: New York’s Carmelo Anthony. In addition to his 62 points, he had 13 rebounds and was 6 for 11 from 3-point range with no turnovers. Stallings rallies from three behind to win at Torrey ter.’ But it was, ‘Just make sure you pay attention to everything that’s going on.’” His final birdie capped off a wild day at Torrey Pines, one that didn’t include Tiger Woods or Phil Mickelson for the first time in two decades. Nine players had a share of the lead at one point. Eight players still had a reasonable chance in the final hour. Stallings emerged the winner with one big shot, and now he’s headed back to the Masters. K.J. Choi had the best score of the week on the South Course with a 66 and was among five players who tied for second. The pins were set up in favorable positions for birdies, making the course play the easiest it had all week. But that didn’t make it easy — not for Gary Woodland, Jordan Spieth, Pat Perez and so many others who squandered a good chance to win. Woodland appeared to have the best chance to catch Stallings. He was one shot behind — with plenty of length to reach the 18th in two — until he chose fairway metal off the tee Vote for Your Favorites Now!

Swisher & Lohse Pharmacy on No. 17 and hooked it into the canyon. He felt he had to make his 45-foot par putt to have any chance, and three-putted for double bogey. Woodland, who had a one-shot lead going into the final round, missed an easy birdie attempt on the 18th and closed with a 74. “This will be hard to swallow,” Woodland said. “I felt like I kind of gave one away today.” Marc Leishman of Australia had the last chance to force a playoff, but his drive on the 18th went well right and bounced off the cart path and a fan. He had no chance to even consider going for the green in two. His wedge for an eagle stopped a few feet to the side of the hole, and a tap-in birdie gave him a 71. Stallings finished at 9-under 279. Jason Day (68) and Graham DeLaet of Canada (68) each made birdie on the last hole to tie for second. So did Perez, the San Diego native who grew up at Torrey Pines and whose father is the longtime starter on the first tee at the Farmers Insurance Open. Perez missed a 10-foot birdie chance on the 17th. He closed with a 70. “It’s great and bad,” Perez said about his runner-up finish. “This is the one I want to win more than anything in the world, and I came up short. … I thought today would have been my day. I would like to be in that position again.” Spieth didn’t make a birdie over the last 15 holes, and he fell back with back-to-back birdies late in the round. The 20-year-old Texan made a meaningless bogey on the last hole that only cost him a spot in the top 10. By then, his day was over. He closed with a 75.

Kubiak missed the Texans’ game last week after suffering a minor stroke two weeks ago during a game. Ravens hire Kubiak to be offensive coordinator OWINGS MILLS, Md. (AP) — Gary Kubiak was bored and in need of a job, if for no other reason to give his wife some breathing room at home. At the same time, the Baltimore Ravens were in the market for someone who could add some spice and efficiency to the NFL’s 29thranked offense. Both sides got what they wanted Monday when Kubiak was hired to be the Ravens’ offensive coordinator. Kubiak replaces Jim Caldwell, who was hired on Jan. 14 to coach the Detroit Lions. The 52-year-old Kubiak was Houston’s coach from 2006 through last month, when he was fired after the Texans got off to a 2-11 start. Baltimore also announced the hiring of Rick Dennison, the Texans former offensive coordinator, as their quarterbacks coach. An extensive search for Caldwell’s replacement began with 30 candidates, coach John Harbaugh said. The search ended with the Ravens landing Kubiak, who served as Denver’s offensive coordinator for three seasons before being hired to guide the Texans in 2006. “It became apparent this had a chance to be a fit for both coaches and the Ravens,” Harbaugh said. Kubiak might want to have a team to call his own in the future, but at this point in his NFL career he’s quite content being in charge of reshaping a unit that sputtered for much of the 2013 season. “Right now I want to be Call Southern Local Schools Wellness Center or River Valley Health & Wellness to speak with one of our In-Person Assisters 740-949-2348 or 304-273-1033 WE ARE A PREFERED PHARMACY ON OVER 50 MEDICARE PREFERED PLANS!

That’s when his caddie told him, “Let’s see what you’ve got.” Above all, he had experience. One year and one week ago, Stallings was in a similar situation at the Humana Challenge. He hit a 6-iron from 220 yards, forgetting to account for a hanging lie until the ball sailed left and bounded into the water, the final mistake on a day he blew a five-shot lead. He didn’t make the same mistake twice. Stallings hammered a 4-iron that narrowly cleared the water and set up two putts from 40 feet for a birdie. It gave him a 4-under 68 and a one-shot lead that turned into a victory when no one could catch him. “I don’t think one would happen without the other,” Stallings said. “I actually thought about 18 at Humana the whole time on 18 today. Not that I was like, ‘Oh, don’t hit it in the wa- 740-992-2955 112 East Main Street Pomeroy, OH 45769 60478897 MT4RAN6 the best offensive coordinator I can be,” Kubiak said. “I told John this when he first called me: I said, ‘John, you know what? I want a chance to enjoy coaching, teaching, and I want a chance to win. And I know you would offer me all those opportunities if this thing would work out. So, really for me it’s about getting back. It’s a tough thing to go through. But right now, this has been the best day I’ve had in two months. I’m so excited to get back in this league and get back to work.” Rhonda Kubiak was likely just as delighted. “My wife is tired of me being around the house,” said Gary Kubiak, who went 6164 as Houston’s head coach. During his stay in Houston, the Texans always played Baltimore tough, and that made an impression on Harbaugh. “You always kind of in your mind keep a list of the guys that gave you the most trouble as coaches,” Harbaugh said. “And this (Houston) staff, what they did offensively, what they’ve done over the years has always been just kind of a pain in our rear. Probably right out of the gates, that’s the first thing I thought about. It looks like all the ways that we want to look.” Kubiak and Dennison will try to bolster a running attack that produced only seven touchdowns and averaged a franchise-worst 3.1 yards per carry in 2013. In addition, Joe Flacco threw a career-high 22 interceptions as the defending Super Bowl champions sagged to 8-8 and missed the playoffs for the first time in Harbaugh’s six seasons as Baltimore’s coach. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
