Chafin in May 2013 has entered a guilty plea in connection with the case. Ryan A. Cozart, 33, formerly of Racine, pleaded guilty to three counts on Thursday morning, two of which were amended from the initial indictment. Cozart pleaded guilty to involuntary manslaughter, a felony of the first degree; tampering with evidence, a felony of the third degree; and robbery, a felony of the second degree. The original indictment was on charges of aggravated murder, a special felony; tampering with evidence, a felony of the third degree; and aggravated robbery, a felony of the first degree. Judge I. Carson Crow preceded directly to sentencing after accepting Cozart’s guilty plea. Cozart was sentenced according to the plea agreement reached in the case. He will serve the maximum on each charge, 11 years for involuntary manslaughter, three years from tampering with evidence and eight years for robbery. The sentences are to be served consecutive to one another and consecutive to the prison sentence imposed in case 08CR058. Cozart is currently serving a 10 year sentence in that case. The sentence had previously been suspended, but was imposed after Cozart violated his community control. As part of the plea agreement, Cozart signed a stipulation that all sentences would run consecutively, waiving any appellate issues regarding the matter. Cozart’s attorney Dennis Sipe had filed documents in late June suggesting that Cozart was incompetent to stand trial and entering a plea of not guilty by reason of insanity. At a hearing in the fall, the parties stipulated to the competency evaluation by Dr. Daniel Davis. Prosecutor Colleen Wil- liams made the motion to find Cozart competent to stand trial, something defense attorney Dennis Sipes agreed with. The court then found Cozart competent to stand trial. Cozart, along with Sara J. Craig and Ariel R. Smith, were charged in connection with the stabbing death of Chafin on May 9, 2013 at the Meigs Motel near Pomeroy. Both women have entered guilty pleas to the charges against them.

POMEROY — A resolution adopting Ohio’s proposed calamity day alternative makeup plan for weather-related days of school missed in excess of the five days permitted by the state now was passed by the Meigs Local Board of Education at Tuesday night’s meeting. However, as Superintendent Rusty Bookman pointed out, the proposed plan is not at the place where it can be immediately implemented. Teachers must be agreeable to complying with the program requirements and the Board of Education must file an application with the Ohio Department of Education requesting permission to participate in the alternative makeup day plan. He explained that the proposed plan involves providing online learning opportunities for students in lieu of attending classroom schooling for those days missed in excess of the five now permitted. Currently Meigs Local due to the weather has missed eight days, three of which must be made up some way. Bookman noted a local solution to making up two of the three days by shortening the spring vacation, and the third by eliminating President’s Day as a vacation day. See PLAN | 2 In appreciation By Charlene Hoeflich choeflich@civitasmedia.com POMEROY — Recognition of members of the Meigs Local School Board and their contribution to education highlighted the annual appreciation dinner held Tuesday night at Meigs High School. “Our school board members are ordinary citizens with extraordinary dedication to the Meigs Local School District,” said Meigs Local School District Superintendent Rusty Bookman in making the presentations to Ryan Mahr, Heather Hawley, Roger Abbott, Todd Snowden and Larry Tucker. Describing public education at the backbone of American society, he credited the local school board with doing the most important work of the communities — “that of education our youth.” See APPRECIATION | 2 Beth Sergent | Daily Sentinel Ron Logan, who served 12 years on the Meigs Local Board of Education, was recognized and presented a plaque in appreciation of his service by Superintendent Rusty Bookman. Beating cervical cancer By Sarah Hawley shawley@civitasmedia.com MIDDLEPORT — January is National Cervical Cancer Awareness Month. But for many people, as with many diseases, unless you know someone directly effected with the disease then you may know little about it. Local resident and Help Me Grow employee Anna Shope knows first hand what it is like to battle cervical cancer. Shope, who was diagnosed a little more than a year ago, recently talked with The Daily Sentinel about her journey to beating cervical cancer. Shope went for a routine visit with a nurse practitioner in Dec. 2012. The physician recommended to Shope that she have a pap smear done since it had been 10 years since her last one. The original pap smear came back abnormal, so she went to Holzer for a procedure. That also came back abnormal, but was not a diagnoses at that point. Doctors preceded to conduct a cone biopsy to further diagnosis. Three days after Christmas in 2012, Shope received the call that she had cancer. The cancer was caught in an early stage, Stage 1B. See CANCER | 2 Anna Shope Caiden Young, pictured, is an 11-year old student at Point Pleasant Intermediate School. Young was a classmate of the late Braxton Smith who died after being injured in a fire. Smith was a huge Seattle Seahawks fan and Young hopes to get his friend recognized at the Super Bowl but he needs help from the public. On a mission to remember a friend Student has a ‘Super’ wish to honor Smith By Beth Sergent bsergent@civitasmedia.com POINT PLEASANT — “Friendship is unnecessary, like philosophy, like art… It has no survival value; rather it is one of those things that give value to survival.” That quote is attributed to author C.S. Lewis but could be applied to the survivors of the friends of Braxton Smith, an 11-year old who recently passed away after being injured in a house fire. Caiden Young is an 11year old classmate, and friend, of Braxton’s at Point Pleasant Intermediate School. Caiden and his classmates are processing the harsh, unexpected loss of their friend right now. Young said it was “hard” to think of Braxton dying. For a few days, classmates put a note on Braxton’s desk, and a flower, saying no one was to sit in it - it was empty but reserved. Braxton’s classmates have also written letters to his family and decorated their lockers with memorials to the boy who is described as smart and funny.

Following some discussion of the alternative plan and comments from Tim Lawson of the Teachers Union about the probability of a favorable response from the teachers who will be responsible for developing the material, the Board voted unanimously to endorse the alternative make-up plan to access and complete classroom lessons in order to complete the three days of instruction which are in excess of the five days currently allowed. For the plan to go into effect this year, paper work must be filed not later than Feb. 14. This means that each classroom teacher will be required to develop a sufficient number of lessons for each course they teach which will require, in the judgment of the teacher, an amount of time equal to or greater than the amount of instructional time that the student would receive for three school days in each teacher’s class.Students then will be granted a two week period from the date of the posting to complete the lesson.

Member SIPC. “He was really funny,” Caiden said, telling the story of how when the boys were in fifth grade, Braxton carted an orange around, calling it his wife, creatively naming it Georgianna. Caiden smiled when he recalled Braxton later got another orange, calling it Bonita, saying he had cheated on Georgianna. “He was very smart,” Caiden said. “When the teacher told us to quiet down, he did.” Being smart, knowing when to quiet down, having the imagination to turn an orange into a wife for a laugh - all are endearing and The BIGGEST EVENT In Our 45 Year History ALL SALE PRICES GOOD THRU FEBRUARY 8TH OR WHILE SUPPLIES LAST 3 FREE DRAWINGS!

The students who do not complete the work will be given an incomplete unless there is some reason sufficient to satisfy the teacher about why it was not done. To do the work at school the district will provide access to computers during or after the school day. The Board also authorized what are called “blizzard bags” which are paper copies of the lessons posted online. This means that the teachers will prepare paper copies approximating the content of the online lessons for the students. However before the program can go into effect, said Bookman, the activity must be approved by the teachers who will play a key role in its success, and also by the state agency proposing it. In other business the Board approved the purchase of three 71 passenger diesel buses for purchase, and authorized the treasurer/CFO to advertise for bids on the purchase. During the meeting it was noted that Exxon Educational Alliance had made a grant of $500 for the math and science programs as requested by Principal Steve Ohlinger. A contract was approved by Ohio University to provide an athletic trainer to Meigs High School for next school years at a cost of $10,400. As for personnel, past action on hiring of track coaches was amended to read, to hire Dreama English-Smith as Middle School track coach and Jennifer Bartrum as Middle School assistant track coach.

Smith will serve a total of 54 months, 36 months for infinite qualities to those in intermediate school and beyond. Another one of Braxton’s qualities was an inexplicable love of the Seattle Seahawks. Unfortunately, Braxton was unable to see his team secure a place in this weekend’s super bowl. In the days that followed Braxton’s passing, Caiden had an idea to honor his friend - a big idea. He sat down and wrote a letter to talk show host Ellen Degeneres, asking for her help in getting Braxton recognized at the Super Bowl in some way. Here is Caiden’s letter: ”Hi Ellen, my name is Caiden Young. I’m writing you because I have a favor to ask you. January 18 2014 one of my best friends passed away in a house fire. Him, his sister and brother were all trapped inside and had to run through fire to get out. They were all burned 90-100 percent of their bodies. As a results of the burns, Braxton passed away on Jan. 19 and his sister passed away Jan. 20. His brother Tre is still fighting for his life but is stable. Our community of Point Pleasant, WV has been putting together clothes drives, fundraisers, singing benefits, donations at banks, etc… Even though we are a small community we have pulled together and are trying to help this family out as much as possible. The reason why I’m writing you is because the Super Bowl is coming up and the Seahawks is Braxton J. Smith’s favorite football team and I thought maybe they could have a moment of silence and show a picture of Braxton. I didn’t know how to go about doing this but I knew if anyone could get it done it would be you Ellen. I know this would mean so much to his family and friends. We all miss him and today I’m wearing blue in honor of him because that was his favorite color!! Thanks for any help with this. Sincerely Caiden Young” Although Caiden hasn’t heard from Ellen, yet, his letter posted on the Facebook wall of her television show is receiving a massive amount of attention. According to Caiden’s mom Amy Donohue, it had over 3,000 likes and around 300 comments, many from strangers. Amy says she’s receiving messages about it from those complete strangers offering their support. There’s definitely some momentum in the air for this idea because also on Wednesday, a Smith family representative reported Seahawks Head Coach Pete Carroll actually called Braxton’s dad, William Smith, to speak with him and offer condolences. Caiden said Braxton was definitely the biggest Seahawks fan, saying he was always making bets with friends that his team would win. Caiden said Braxton had bet a pack of football cards with a friend that the Seahawks would beat the San Francisco 49ers but never got to collect on that bet. Although typically a Steelers fan, Caiden says he’s hoping for a Seahawks victory on Sunday. He said in honor of his friend, he’ll be watching the game with some popcorn - a tradition of Braxton’s. The Ellen Degeneres Show has a special link for those wishing to send her an email at http://www.ellentv. com/be-on-the-show/10/. Like Caiden did, viewers can post comments on her Facebook page as well - including a copy of Caiden’s letter printed in this article. The Seattle Seahawks have a variety of ways to be contacted via the team’s webpage at http://www.seahawks.com/about/contactus.html. Whether or not Caiden gets his wish of having his friend recognized at the Super Bowl in some way or not, Braxton’s memory will stay reserved in a special place for Caiden and others - like that empty desk in the classroom. Cancer From Page 1 Soon after she went to Ohio State University Hospital to under go a radical hysterectomy. The journey from the initial doctor visit to now has been an emotional one for Shope. “My world just dropped out from under me.” “I have two kids, one with special needs, and am a single mother,” said Shope. She added that you are always so busy taking care of your children and others that you forget you have to take care of yourself. “It opened my eyes to the fact that you have to take care of yourself. Your kids are your priority, but you have to take care of you too.” The mother of two said that one of the hardest parts emotionally was the realization that she no longer had the option to have more children. She said she could not have gotten through everything without the support of her family and friends and her faith. Since the cancer was caught at an early stage Shope did not have to undergo radiation or chemotherapy following her hysterectomy. Shope now has to make return trips to the doctor every six months, an increase from the visits which were every three months. According to Shope, it takes time for the cells to get to the point of cancer after the first abnormal cells are there, meaning had she went in for a pap smear within the 10 years she did not then it may not have progressed to a stage 1B cancer. Shope said she had no symptoms prior to the abnormal tests. “You always think it is something that happens to someone else.” She encouraged everyone to have regular pap smears. “It is a necessary evil that is uncomfortable, but cancer is more uncomfortable.” For more on the signs, symptoms and risks associated with cervical cancer see a related article inside today’s edition. Appreciation From Page 1 Bookman said that during these trying fiscal times, the Board of Education develops policies and makes tough decisions on complex education and social issues that affect the entire community and the lives of individual students. In addressing the board members he cited their long hours at school board meetings, attending extracurricular events and seminars and being involved in other community activities which help to promote a positive image of the school district. Each of the Board members was presented a certificate of “sincere appreciation for exemplary leadership and service to public schools as a part of School Board Recognition Month” signed by the president and executive director of the Ohio School Boards Association. Also recognized at the dinner meeting was Ron Logan who served 12 years on the Meigs Local Board of Education. He was presented a plaque by Bookman in appreciation for his many years of service to the school district. 5TH ANNIVERSAY SALE 45TH ANNIVERSAY SALE 45TH ANNIVERSAY SALE 45TH ANNIVERS �Friday, January 31, 2014 Obituaries Death Notices PAUL E.

According to the National Cervical Cancer Coalition, “cervical cancer is the second most common type of cancer for women worldwide, but because it develops over time (10-20 years) it is also one of the most preventable types of cancer. Additionally, more than 12,000 women in the US will be diagnosed with cervical cancer each year, and more than 4,000 of these women will die.” According to the Appalachian Community Cancer Network, In Appalachian Ohio, 11.5% more women are diagnosed with cervical cancer than non-Appalachian areas and 20.8% more die from the disease than in non-Appalachian areas. In Meigs County, late state diagnosis is high. Deaths from cervical cancer can be prevented with regular Pap tests and appropriate HPV testing.

Personally, I have the utmost appreciation and awareness of God’s love and mercy, of His presence and power, as well. All too often, however, I hear His name taken in vain, as in the expression “Oh, My God” — spoken by one supposedly amazed, excited, and/or overcome by something unique and unexpected. Know this: God is neither “my” God nor “your” God. God is — and though we say God is knowable and, indeed, wants us to know Him in the most intimate possible sense, God is NOT own-able! God exists, and is to be praised and worshipped. Instead, God is blasphemed, with the foregoing “O.M.G.” expression being a prime example — and the perpetrators tend to be those whose knowledge of God is weak, ill-informed or misinformed, untested and, in the extreme, nonexistent. Such as these are impervious to the majesty of God, incapable of thanking God for His blessings and, above all else, inhibited in entrusting their lives to God’s care. Know, too: life is NOT about you or me, or about you and me; always, it IS about God — our Creator, Savior, and Friend. We exist to serve and worship God, NOT vice-versa. Many powered tools come with a pre-attached cord of a fixed length, and only operate when plugged-in to a power source. We’re no different: though we profess to be Christians and in the Lord’s service, we are neither if not “plugged-in” to the Lord for our life and power! A hunger for more The call that we each have been given to follow Christ is very frequently at odds with our inclinations and opportunities to be carried along with the currents of opinion and compulsions that characterize the world surrounding us. It seems easier and, at least in the short term, more fulfilling and satisfying to us to devote our lives to the agendas supplied to us by popular opinion (which, I hastily point out, is generally at odds with God’s Word). It’s an interesting paradox because we are actually being invited by God to enjoy lives that are designed for our greatest happiness, reaping joys that extend beyond the limits of our frail bodies into eternity beyond. Popular opinion tells us, for instance, that material possessions are worth so much that we should make the pursuit of the “finer things in life” our primary goal. Popular opinion tells us that to be a person of worth we must achieve great achievements or obtain wide renown. Popular opinion tells us that to be a person of significance that we must obtain the means of having our way. And so we organize our lives around such priorities. For these we lose sleep, either in the worry about whether or not we will succeed in obtaining them or very literally rising early and laboring long into the night for them so that we won’t miss our chance. For these we race ahead of others so that we may be the first in line, even knocking others out of the way if necessary, heedless of the old lives are as human souls a child’s plastic we’ve afflicttrinkets in comed and the parison. heart of God What lies in we’ve pained. store for you if For these we you will set out squander our on this great and resources, grand adventure failing to with God?

Will you today set that the old things of their your heart so unreservedly on God that you’ll make Him your top priority? Your greatest aim? Your first love? Maybe the desire to grow and serve Him is stirred up in your heart, but you’re afraid. If so, remember that fear is a common denominator for people throughout the world… even Christians. Yet fear need not be your master. Simply remember to Who you belong, and that He is so jealous over you that He’ll see to it, if you’ll wholeheartedly walk with Him, that you’ll make it to that “far green country”. If you will do that, you may join in with the Pilgrims who said in the early years of our nation, “it is not with us as with other men whom small things can discourage, or small discontentments cause to wish themselves at home again.” Let us each today then indeed press bravely forward. “…One thing I do: forgetting what lies behind and straining forward to what lies ahead, I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.” (Philippians 3:13b-14 ESV).

Search the Scripture Are you ready for the Big Game? The battle lines are drawn and the two sides are facing off. The stakes are very high. In fact there is nothing bigger and literally everyone who is anyone is choosing their team. However, despite the perception by some that the outcome is in any doubt, experts on the subject are in complete agreement that the final score will be completely one-sided. We speak of course of that ultimate contest, the battle between good and evil, in which all that is wicked and worldly faces off against God, the Creator of all things, and His blessed Son, Jesus the Christ. Of the world’s battle against Christ, the scriptures say, “These will make war with the Lamb, and the Lamb will overcome them, for He is Lord of lords and King of kings; and those who are with Him are called, chosen, and faithful.” (Revelation 17:14) As we said, the outcome is not in doubt. There is no possibility of evil winning. God is omnipotent and eternal and those challenging Him are but His creation. In this particular battle, a lot of people assume that they are going to be spectators, rather than participants. But there’s no fence sitting in this contest. You are either on one side or the other. You have to make a choice, and attempting not to make a choice is a choice of itself, putting you firmly in the enemies camp. Thus, God warns us, “Do not love the world or the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For all that is in the world—the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life—is not of the Father but is of the world. And the world is passing away, and the lust of it; but he who does the will of God abides forever,” (1 John 2:1517) and “Do you not know that friendship with the world is enmity with God? Whoever therefore wants to be a friend of the world makes himself an enemy of God.” (James 4:4b) At stake, for us, is nothing less than our eternal souls. If we do the will of God, He promises that we will live forever. If we rebel against God, He promises judgment and punishment. It is for this reason, remembering the Day of Judgment to come, that Jesus cautions us to make sure our priorities are in order and we have made the right choice, saying, “For whoever desires to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake will find it. For what profit is it to a man if he gains the whole world, and loses his own soul? Or what will a man give in exchange for his soul? For the Son of Man will come in the glory of His Father with His angels, and then He will reward each according to his works.” (Matthew 16:25-27) Having made our choice, we then need to make sure that we are properly prepared to participate in this great spiritual contest. The apostle Paul wrote to Timothy, reminding him, “if anyone competes in athletics, he is not crowned unless he competes according to the rules.” (2 Timothy 2:5), and to the Corinthians saying, “And everyone who competes for the prize is temperate in all things. Now they do it to obtain a perishable crown, but we for an imperishable crown. Therefore I run thus: not with uncertainty. Thus I fight: not as one who beats the air. But I discipline my body and bring it into subjection, lest, when I have preached to others, I myself should become disqualified.” (1 Corinthians 9:25-27) As those who want to be on God’s team, we need to make sure we understand the rules of the “game.” We need to be temperate and self-controlled, practicing righteousness accord- ing to God’s word. We need to keep our eyes on our target and make our choices in life accordingly. Not least, we need to be strong in the Lord, and in the power of His word, putting on the full armor of God that we, having done all, might withstand the forces arrayed against us and be found standing at the end. (cf. Ephesians 6:10-18) So are you ready for the big game? Will you be able to say, with Paul, “I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith. Finally, there is laid up for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will give to me on that Day, and not to me only but also to all who have loved His appearing. ” (2 Timothy 4:7-8) If you are ready to choose a side, and want it to be the Lord’s side, we invite you to worship and study with us at the church of Christ, 234 Chapel Drive, Gallipolis. �Friday, January 31, 2014 www.mydailysentinel.com The Daily Sentinel s Page 5 Meigs County Church Directory Fellowship Apostolic Church of Jesus Christ Apostolic Van Zandt and Ward Road.

As one of the highest-paid ADs, Smith will make a base salary of $940,484 and could earn more than $1.5 million a year in salary and bonuses under the pact that runs through June 2020. His previous base salary was $857,000 with a total of $1.3 million. While it’s typical for top programs to give bonuses for the success of revenue-producing sports, it’s not always standard to provide bonuses for non-revenue sports. If the Buckeyes football team plays in a major bowl game or the men’s or women’s basketball teams make it to the Final Four, Smith will receive four times his weekly base salary, or more than $72,000. Should the football team or men’s basketball team go on to win the national championship, Smith would receive an additional $36,000. Smith also was given the new title of university vice president and has oversight of Ohio State’s facilities, marketing and branding. Ohio State’s trustees will vote Friday on Smith’s promotion and new contract. The contract specifies a $36,000 bonus for any NCAA championship won by men’s teams in baseball, ice hockey, lacrosse, soccer and volleyball along with women’s teams in field hockey, ice hockey, lacrosse, rowing, soccer, softball and volleyball. He would receive an $18,000 bonus if any Ohio State athlete wins an individual national championship — say, a weight class in wrestling, a sprint in track or a relay in swimming. The sports involved include men’s swimming, tennis, cross country, track, diving, fencing, golf, wrestling and gymnastics, women’s cross country, track, diving, swimming, fencing, synchronized swimming, golf, gymnastics and tennis, along with the co-ed sports of rifle and pistol. Any team that wins a Big Ten title — outright, a co-championship or even a conference tournament title — results in Smith getting a $36,000 bonus. The total he can be paid under this part of the contract in any academic year is $120,000. There are also bonuses for aca- demic achievements by the football and men’s basketball teams. If Smith remains as AD through June of 2020, he will receive annual payments of more than $62,000, a yearly “longevity bonus.” The contract also calls for Smith to get up to 15 hours per year in business use of a private jet. Smith also receives $1,200 a month for two cars, payment of his wife’s travel expenses to away athletic events, a family membership at a local country club and a full membership at the University Faculty Club — along with full benefits and university-wide salary percentage increases each contract year. Alex Hawley | OVP Sports Gallia Academy sophomore Wes Jarrell (2) splits Wellston defenders to score in the second half of the Blue Devils 12 point win, Wednesday night in Centenary. Gallia Academy blasts Golden Rockets, 60-48 By Alex Hawley ahawley@civitasmedia.com CENTENARY, Ohio — What ever was said at halftime worked for the Blue Devils. The Gallia Academy boys basketball team outscored non-conference guest Wellston by 17 in the second half, Wednesday night en route to a 60-48 victory. The Blue Devils (9-8) jumped out to a 14-8 lead after the first quarter but Wellston (4-10) answered by outscoring GAHS 22to-11 in the second quarter. GAHS put together its best period in the third, outscoring WHS 22-to-9 to retake the lead. Gallia Academy closed the game with a 13-9 run to seal the 60-48 victory. Reid Eastman led the Blue and White with 14 points, followed by Wade Jarrell with 13 and Wes Jarrell with 10. Alex White added eight points, Michael Putney had five, while Jacob Streiter and Seth Atkins each had four points. Kole Carter rounded out the Gallia Academy total with two points. The Blue Devils shot 26-of-51 (51 percent) from the field and 2-of-5 (40 percent) from the free throw line. GAHS had 30 rebounds, 16 assists, 11 steals, five blocks and 15 turnovers in the game. Wes Jarrell and Atkins each finished with six rebounds to pace GAHS, followed by Putney and Streiter with four each. Eastman, Wes Jarrell and Wade Jarrell each had four assists, followed by Putney with three. Wes Jarrell led the Blue Devil defense with three blocks and two steals, while Streiter had two blocks. Eastman and Wade Jarrell each added two steals. Wellston was led by Colton Ervin with 16 points and Chazz Davis with 15. Braydon Womeldorf and Caleb Stanley both added five, Forrest Hale marked four, while Jordan Arthur finished with three.

Lady Tornadoes sweep Wahama, 59-12 By Bryan Walters bwalters@civitasmedia.com MASON, W.Va. — The current seniors on the Wahama and Southern girls basketball teams had just celebrated Christmas as seven- or eight-year olds the last time this happened. The Lady Tornadoes ended a pair of decade-long droughts Wednesday night following an impressive 5912 victory over host Wahama in a Tri-Valley Conference Hocking Division matchup in Mason County. Southern (11-6, 8-4 TVC Hocking) never trailed in the contest and had nine different players reach the scoring column, as the guests stormed out to a 23-0 first quarter advantage and never looked back. The Lady Falcons (0-15, 0-11) trailed 23-1 after eight minutes of play and didn’t make their first field goal until 2:42 remained in the first half. The outcome allowed SHS to claim its first win at Wahama since the fourth annual Bob’s Market Holiday Tournament was held during the final week of the 2003 calendar year. The 2003-04 campaign was also the last time that the Lady Tornadoes claimed a season sweep of Wahama before Wednesday night, as SHS posted a 61-21 victory at home back on December 12. Southern led 17-0 four minutes into regulation and was ahead 23-0 with less than a minute left in the opening stanza. Nena Hunt netted a free throw with four ticks remaining, allowing Wahama to finally get on the scoreboard. Sierra Cleland capped a 12-0 run with a free throw at the 4:41 mark of the second frame, giving the Lady Tornadoes their largest lead of the first half at 35-1. Sierra Carmichael followed with the hosts’ first basket two minutes later, which sparked a 7-2 run for Carmichael over the final three minutes — making it a 37-8 contest at the break. SHS opened the second half with a small 6-0 run, but Bunni Peters sank two free throws at the 2:13 mark for a 43-10 contest. The guests closed the third quarter with a 10-0 run to secure a 53-10 lead headed into the finale. Both teams went mostly without starters down the stretch, and SHS made a 6-2 run to wrap up the season-best 47-point triumph. Southern has now won two straight and 5-of-7 overall as well. Celestia Hendrix led the guests with a game-high 15 points, 13 of which came in the first quarter.

Feds grab $21.6M in counterfeits before Super Bowl and the Super Bowl,” Anastasia Danias, an NFL senior vice president, said in a statement issued three days before the game in East Rutherford, N.J. During an eight-month operation, investigators seized more than 202,000 Super Bowl-related items that, if legitimate, would have been worth more than $21.6 million. Authorities called the dollar amount a record for similar enforcement operations before other Super Bowls, including one last year that netted about $17 million in seizures. Authorities say most of the knockoffs were manufactured in China. They say once the makers learned the Broncos and Seahawks made the Super Bowl, they rushed to make the goods with the teams’ logos. Then the goods were smuggled into the United States, often using overnight shipping. Some of the items make their way to street corners in Times Square and elsewhere where they are sold for half the price or less of legitimate merchandise. But others are offered on websites designed to trick buyers into thinking they are purchasing officially licensed goods worth the nearly full price they pay. U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement has obtained court orders to shut down several of the bogus Super Bowl gear websites. Authorities warn that users of the websites risk identity theft, and that proceeds can go to other illegal activities like drug trafficking. Earlier this week, New York authorities announced the arrest of two men on charges they made high-quality counterfeit Super Bowl tickets and sold them online. �Friday, January 31, 2014 The Daily Sentinel s Page 7 www.mydailysentinel.com OVP Sports Briefs URG to host Youth Basketball Tournament RIO GRANDE, Ohio — The University of Rio Grande men’s soccer program is sponsoring a Youth Basketball Tournament, March 7-9, at the Newt Oliver Arena and the Auxiliary Gymnasium inside the Lyne Center on the URG campus.

Ohio rallies from 18 down, beats CMU 71-67 ATHENS, Ohio (AP) — Maurice Ndour scored 21 points and grabbed 11 rebounds as Ohio came back from an 18-point second-half deficit to beat Central Michigan 71-67 on Wednesday night. Ohio (15-5, 5-2 Mid-American) trailed 48-30 with less than 15 minutes to play, but then went on a 21-3 run to tie the game at 51 with 8 minutes left. Stevie Taylor hit the go-ahead jumper for Ohio with 2:04 left, giving the Bobcats a 69-67 lead. Ohio then shut out Central Michigan (7-12, 0-7) for the remainder of the game. Nick Kellogg added 15 points for the Bobcats, while Jon Smith had 10 points, nine rebounds and three blocks. Chris Fowler had 19 points for Central Michigan, which led 33-25 at halftime and built its 18-point lead with 10 straight second-half points. Cavs still looking for missing jersey banner CLEVELAND (AP) — Austin Carr’s number went from retired to lost. Cavaliers officials are trying to figure out what happened to Carr’s retired No. 34 jersey banner, which vanished from the rafters at Quicken Loans Arena and is still missing. The large banner, which was last seen hanging from a walkway high inside the arena on Monday night during a pro wrestling event, was gone when the Cavaliers hosted the New Orleans Pelicans on Tuesday. The Cavs are continuing to investigate the banner’s disappearance and plan to install a new one in time for the next home game on Feb. 5 against the Los Angeles Lakers. Carr currently works as a TV color analyst for the club, and joked about the stolen banner during halftime of Tuesday’s game. “Maybe I’m coming out of retirement,” he cracked. Carr was the first player drafted by the franchise in 1971. A high-scoring, sweetshooting guard from Notre Dame, Carr played nine seasons for Cleveland and became one of the most popular players in team history. He overcame a serious knee injury during his time with the Cavs, who retired his number in 1981. Carr’s banner hangs alongside those of former Cavaliers players Nate Thurmond, Bingo Smith, Larry Nance, Brad Daugherty and Mark Price. The team will retire center Zydrunas Ilgauskas’ jersey later this season. At one time, Seattle tried landing Peyton Manning Eric Albrecht | Columbus Dispatch | MCT photo Ohio State’s Aaron Craft (4) tries to get around Penn State’s Tim Frazier (23) in the second half at Value City Arena in Columbus, Ohio, on Wednesday, Jan. 29. Penn State won, 71-70, in overtime. Newbill’s late OT jumper lifts PSU over No. 24 OSU COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — D.J. Newbill didn’t know that Ohio State had Penn State’s number. Newbill hit a pull-up jumper over Aaron Craft with 2 seconds left in overtime, lifting Penn State to a 71-70 victory over No. 24 Ohio State on Wednesday night and ending years of futility against the Buckeyes. “There were 11 seconds left, we were down by one. I just cleared out one side of the floor,” Newbill said. “I knew they were going to try to stop me from going to the right because they’d been shading me left the whole game. I just made a quick, right-to-left crossover and pulled up with confidence. Fortunately, it went down.” Newbill, who led the Nittany Lions (11-10, 2-6 Big Ten) with 25 points, also hit a 3 that forced the extra session. He didn’t know, or even care, who was guarding him on the last shot. Craft is considered one of the nation’s best one-on-one defenders. “They did everything they needed to down the stretch,” Craft said. “They made shots, they made big plays, they rebounded the ball. We just didn’t do it.” Ohio State (16-5, 3-5) has lost five of six after a 15-0 start which saw it rise to No. 3 in the polls. Northwestern beat No. 14 Wisconsin 65-56 on Wednesday night and according to the Big Ten Network this was the first time the Nittany Lions and Wildcats won road games on the same day since Penn State joined the conference in 1993. Brandon Taylor added 19 points and Graham Woodward had 11 as Penn State ended Ohio State’s string of victories in the series at 18. Buckeyes coach Thad Matta was 17-0 against Penn State since taking over as head coach in 2004-05. Nittany Lions coach Patrick Chambers said the subject of Ohio State’s domination wasn’t brought up. “We never mentioned it. That’s over. We’re a new team,” he said. “We can’t be concerned about the past.” Newbill said he had no idea that Ohio State had controlled the series. In the overtime, Taylor gave the Lions a quick lead on a follow before Amir Williams, who had 12 points, hit a free throw and Lenzelle Smith Jr., who had 15 for the Buckeyes, scored to put their team up 68-67. Smith was then hit in the face while shooting a 3 and made the last two of the three free throws for a three-point lead. After the teams traded misses, Newbill ended up with the ball atop the key with the shot clock winding down. He drove the lane and got off the layup just in time to cut the lead to 70-69 with 39.4 seconds left. The Buckeyes then turned it over when LaQuinton Ross, who led Ohio State with 16 points, drove and passed in traffic to Williams, the ball going out of bounds off his hands with 13 seconds left. Penn State brought the ball down with Newbill waving off his teammates to take the ball oneon-one against Craft. From the right wing, he crossed over on the dribble and pulled up for a 14-foot jumper that caught nothing but net with 2 seconds left. JERSEY CITY, N.J. (AP) — They sat on the tarmac just hoping for the chance at a meeting. Pete Carroll and John Schneider waited in the private plane in Denver, wondering if Peyton Manning would accept a request to meet with the brain trust of the Seattle Seahawks to see if that could be a potential landing spot for the free agent quarterback. This was March of 2012, before Manning decided Denver would become his permanent address and before Russell Wilson took up residency in Seattle. And as Carroll recalled on Wednesday, the entire process was “brief.” “We tried to get involved with that to see if there was a next stage to the process and there wasn’t,” Carroll said. The fact the paths of Manning and the Seahawks intersect in Sunday’s Super Bowl is no coincidence. The decision to bring Manning to Denver was the catalyst for the Broncos becoming an offensive marvel that set records on its way to an AFC championship. And his decision not to seriously consider Seattle as a landing point also was hugely important in the Seahawks finding the pieces both in free agency and the draft to build a team that was the class of the NFC. Manning recalled Wednesday how he wanted privacy in the process of figuring out his next team after being released by Indianapolis. “I remember it wasn’t very private. It was quite a public spectacle,” Manning said. “I could have done without that.” Manning eventually signed with Denver in late March. The process leading to his decision included a number of other franchises, including an early morning phone call that awoke Carroll. Manning had heard Seattle was interested and thus the process started. Seattle was in the market for quarterbacks at that point. They had gone through the trio of Matt Hasselbeck, Charlie Whitehurst and Tarvaris Jackson without satisfaction during Carroll’s first two seasons and now stood the chance to possibly make a pitch to Manning. They had yet to draft Wilson — who Carroll said he now would have selected much higher than the third round — so it made sense for the Seahawks to try and get involved. “We talked about the basics of what it might mean for him coming to us and the process was underway,” Carroll said. “It was very early and he had said he didn’t know what he was going to do, where he was going to visit and what was going to come up and he wanted to gage what our interest was.” Seattle’s limited pursuit ended in Denver. Manning never took the meeting with Schneider and Carroll. Manning went on to have conversations with the 49ers, Cardinals, Dolphins and Titans before making the choice to join the Broncos. Seattle went on to sign Matt Flynn as a free agent from Green Bay two days before Manning’s deal was finalized with the Broncos. The Seahawks drafted Wilson in the third round a month later and kept around Jackson, the starter for most of 2011, to create a three-way QB competition Wilson eventually won during training camp. How the Seahawks are currently constructed would have drastically changed had the talks with Manning progressed beyond just those initial conversations. A number of roster moves the Seahawks have made — signing Cliff Avril and Michael Bennett as free agents, trading for Percy Harvin as examples — might not have happened if Manning had opted for Seattle. Seattle would have been limited with its salary cap space because of the money Manning would have commanded. Some of those moves are at the root of why Seattle is in the Super Bowl and are the ones Schneider said he thinks about when recollecting about their efforts with Manning. “I just think that we would have continued to do things the way we do it all the time,” Schneider said last week. “I know that we wouldn’t have been able to afford several players but we would have competed in other areas to compensate for it in where we were deficient in our roster. It’s a daily process.” Five things Super Bowl teams might try to thwart cold JERSEY CITY, N.J. (AP) — NFL players rely on all sorts of methods for dealing with the type of weather the Denver Broncos and Seattle Seahawks are expected to face in the Super Bowl. Even if there’s no snow or rain on Sunday, which is what the National Weather Service predicts, the high temperature is supposed to be 38 degrees. With the opening kickoff set for about 6:30 p.m., it could be in the 20s by the time the big game comes to an end. So how will the Broncos and Seahawks thwart the cold? Depends on who you ask. Seahawks backup quarterback Tarvaris Jackson recalled asking teammates for advice about handling the temperature during his NFL debut as a rookie with the Minnesota Vikings. The game was at Chicago in December 2006, and the wind chill was 1. “A lot of the guys were like, ‘When it gets that cold, there’s nothing you can do,’” Jackson said. Here are five things certain players swear by — and others say they’ll avoid — while trying to brace themselves: HEATED BENCHES: Both sidelines will have 70 feet worth of heated benches that can be turned up by each team to its desired temperature — up to 90 degrees hotter than the air, the league said. Denver safety Michael Huff will seek out a spot: “Once you’re in the game and running around, the adrenaline’s flowing, you’re fine. When you come to the sideline is when you really know it’s cold outside. So I use the heated benches.” Seattle center Max Unger will stay away: “I try not to get too warm on the sideline. It’s kind of a happy medium, I guess. You can sit on the heated benches, but I don’t like it to be too much of a shock when you get back out there on the field.” ‘HEATERD TORPEDO FANS’: Essentially space heaters, they are placed along each sideline when it gets cold. Players often can be seen huddling around, getting a bit of warm air. Seattle defensive end Cliff Avril loves them: “We’ll be fine, as long as we have … those heaters out there.” Denver tight end Jacob Tamme sees no need: “I’m really a no-heater guy.” LONG SLEEVES: There’s always the option of wearing a longsleeved shirt under the uniform jersey, but few players go that route. Avril was one who said he might do that. Denver safety Duke Ihenacho was among many who said they definitely wouldn’t, no matter how cold it gets: “I feel like having sleeves is like wearing a sweater. Makes me feel too heavy.” VASELINE AND WARM SKIN: By rubbing Vaseline or Warm Skin — a kind of cream — or both on their arms, players create what they call “insulators” that fill pores and brace them against wind. Broncos safety David Bruton finds another benefit, too: “When it’s cold and your skin’s dry, (you get) a scrape on the helmet, next thing you know, you’re bleeding profusely. Just because your skin is so dry, it’s easier to get cut. That lotion helps.” His teammate, kick returner Trindon Holliday, disagrees: “I don’t use those kinds of things. (The key is) basically just keeping your mind off the cold.” KEEP MOVING: Denver’s Tamme offered another, less outof-the-ordinary, way to combat the cold. “A lot of jumping jacks,” Tamme said. “That’s my remedy. Kind of my go-to on the sideline.” �Page 8 s The Daily Sentinel www.mydailysentinel.com LEGALS ANNOUNCEMENTS Notices Country Inn Assisted Living Adult Group Home Immediate occupancy for single or couples, 55 years or older Albany, OH 740-416-5289 60481259 LEGALS LEGAL NOTICE Finn Construction, whose last place of business is known as 1266 West Pike Street, Clarksburg, WV 26301 but whose present place of business is unknown, will take notice that on December 9, 2013, Deutsche Bank National Trust Company, As Trustee For Argent Securities Inc., AssetBacked Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2006-M1, filed its Complaint in Foreclosure in Case No. 13-CV-116 in the Court of Common Pleas Meigs County, Ohio alleging that the Defendants, Finn Construction, have or claim to have an interest in the real estate located at 39360 Gold Ridge Road, Pomeroy, OH 457699744, PPN ## 0100021002.

(AP) — Marquand Manuel took a step back. All he wanted to do was watch the celebration. Eight years ago, Manuel — then a safety for Seattle — was joyous on the field after the Seahawks reached their first Super Bowl by beating the Carolina Panthers in the NFC title game. So when the Seahawks were back celebrating again two Sunday’s ago after beating San Francisco, the enjoyment for Manuel was just in watching. “The easiest thing is to make sure the guys cherish the moment,” said Manuel, now an assistant defensive coach for the Seahawks on Pete Carroll’s staff. “It’s not about what you did yesterday, it’s about what you did today.” Manuel has a unique distinction as Sunday’s Super Bowl against Denver approaches. Manuel is the only player or coach who was on Seattle’s only other Super Bowl team that lost to Pittsburgh 21-10 in De- troit in February 2006. And for Manuel there is a feeling of coming full circle because the other time he went to the Super Bowl with Seattle, he was left watching and not by choice. “I never got hurt,” Manuel said. “And it happened.” It was midway through the second quarter when Manuel was injured tackling Pittsburgh’s Hines Ward on an 18-yard, endaround run. Manuel appeared to get tangled up with equipment beyond the sideline boundary at the end of his tackle. That left former practice squad player Etric Pruitt as Seattle’s free safety for the final 2½ quarters. Pruitt, then in his second season from Southern Mississippi, was signed to the active roster in November that season and had played in 11 career games. And Manuel knew immediately after Willie Parker raced 75 yards for a touchdown early in the third quarter to give Pittsburgh a 14-3 lead that Seattle was in trouble. “I get hurt 8 minutes into the second quarter on a fluke play that I’ve made a million times and I’m not able to come back. (The) 75-yard run doesn’t happen. The halfback pass never happens. Now you’re talking about a 14-10 game which is totally different. Now it’s a slugfest and the best team wins and I would have put money on our offense to score points,” Manuel said. “From that standpoint it always sat with me. It always sat with me that if I ever had the opportunity; and that’s what I try and instill to the players is take advantage of it because it’s been eight years and I’m just getting back and it’s not promised to anybody.” Manuel had gotten a chance to start that season after Ken Hamlin was lost for the season because of head injuries sustained during a fight outside a Seattle nightclub in October. But the ending in the Super Bowl was also Man- uel’s ending in Seattle. He went on to play for Green Bay, Carolina, Denver and Detroit before retiring after the 2009 season. Coaching had always been a thought — his nickname in the locker room was coach — but what happened in the Super Bowl crystalized that Manuel wanted to help instruct the next generation of players. It’s an odd stroke of coincidence that he ended up with the Seahawks. He was working as a coaching intern during the 2011 John Lok | Seattle Times | KRT photo season at his alma mater Seattle Seahawks’ safety Marquand Manuel shows his deof Florida, then jumped at the chance to join the Se- jection after a 21-10 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers in Super Bowl XL on Sunday, Feb. 5, 2006, in Detroit, Mich. ahawks as an assistant special teams coach in 2012.

(AP) — Say goodbye to the NASCAR era when a driver, fresh off a satisfying, top-10 finish, climbs from the car and raves about what a good points day it was. Winning is all that matters under the latest and most radical change to the Chase for the Sprint Cup championship.

It’s the fourth change to either the points or championship format since France created the Chase in 2004. For 28 years prior to the Chase, consistency reigned as the champion was the driver with the most points at the end of the season. That ended a year after Matt Kenseth won the 2003 title with a single victory, and France began his pursuit of creating “Game 7 moments.” Along the way, he has pushed his agenda of wanting aggressive drivers chasing wins. He’ll get that under the new format, which makes settling for points pretty much pointless. Why?

Then, eliminations begin, and a driver can guarantee a trip to the next round with a victory. Last August, Brad Keselowski chased Kyle Busch around Watkins Glen and declined to aggressively move his rival out of the way. Keselowski settled for second, racing for a good points day and declining to inflame his touchy relationship with Busch. But in doing so, he failed to win a regular-season race and missed the Chase, making him ineligible to defend his title. Under the new format, a winless Keselowski would have no choice in that same situation but to bang fenders with Busch and go after the win. That’s exactly what France wants to see on the track each week. “This is pretty clear: You have to win, you have to compete at a higher level, you have to take more chances,” France said. France said he expects contact among cars. “Obviously there are some limits, but that’s always part of NASCAR, to have some version of contact late in the race,” he said. “Will this bring more of that? I’m sure it will.” The changes were lauded by Julie Sobieski, vice president of league sports programming for ESPN, which will broadcast all 10 Chase races this year. “We have long felt that there was a greater opportunity within the Chase and are in favor of an elimination format, which has been most effective in American sports,” she said. Teams and drivers were briefed by NASCAR on the changes, and reaction was mostly positive. “This took guts, this is a big deal,” said team owner Joe Gibbs, who saw his three Cup drivers combine for a series-best 12 wins last season. Denver P Colquitt born to boot the football JERSEY CITY, N.J. (AP) — When it comes to punting, Denver’s Britton Colquitt was born to boot the football. Colquitt’s father, Craig, won two Super Bowl rings while punting for the Pittsburgh Steelers during a seven-year NFL career. His uncle, Jimmy, punted for Seattle in 1985, and his older brother, Dustin, is currently Kansas City’s punter. “It’s really crazy,” said Britton, in his fifth season with the Broncos. “When you grow up around it, that’s what you know. All I see is Pittsburgh Steelers Super Bowl stuff on the wall. It was kind of normal to me. In my mind, and even in Dustin’s mind, it was always attainable and was kind of the norm. If you look at other families in the NFL, their kids play and they’re successful. It’s a belief that they have. “It’s like any other family business and that’s ours. I am thankful for it.” He has talked to his father several times since the Broncos won the AFC championship and received texts with small reminders to keep him focused: words of wisdom such as “Stick to the basics” and “You’ve WE ARE A PREFERED PHARMACY ON OVER 50 MEDICARE PREFERED PLANS! Please call us for any information you would like we are here to serve our community! made it here. You know what you’re doing.” “He wants it (for me),” Britton said. “He’s like a schoolboy right now. He’s more thrilled than anybody.” UNCLE PEYTON: With the Super Bowl in New York/New Jersey, the Manning brothers can spend a little time together. Peyton Manning said Wednesday that he saw Eli on Tuesday night and met niece Lucy for the first time. She was born just before training camp began. “I enjoyed that time as an uncle last night,” Peyton said. Peyton Manning also found interesting the Super Bowl connection with his brother that wasn’t so obvious. Eli Manning won his second title with the New York Giants in Indianapolis while Peyton was still playing for the Colts. Now big brother gets a chance at a second title in Eli’s home stadium. “That is a pretty unique and ironic situation,” Peyton said. CARROLL CONNECTION: By now, most fans know of the attempts by Pete Carroll and the Seahawks to get involved 740-992-2955 112 East Main Street Pomeroy, OH 45769 60478897 MT4RAN6 in Peyton Manning’s free agent sweepstakes during the 2012 offseason. But Manning relayed another Carroll story on Wednesday. Manning didn’t specify the year, but one June, he was in Los Angeles for a commitment. In need of a workout, Manning called over to the USC football offices and spoke with Carroll, then the Trojans’ coach, about possibly throwing with some of his receivers and quarterbacks to help get ready for training camp. Manning said he arrived at 3 p.m. with the intent on joining in on whatever routes the USC players were working on. What he found were eight wide receivers, four tight ends and four running backs all stretched out and ready to do whatever Manning wanted them to. “I said, ‘What routes do you want to run?’ They said, ‘No, coach Carroll said we are going to throw whatever routes you want to run. This is going to be your workout,’” Manning recalled. “That is about as good a treatment as you can get for a visitor to a different team. I really had a neat day throwing.” BAM BAM’S PURCHASE: After signing a four-year extension with Seattle last offseason, strong safety Kam Chancellor made good on a promise to his mother back in Norfolk, Va. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
