Greer, 79 Hildreth C. “Boots” Williams, 85 50 cents daily FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 7, 2014 Vol. 64, No. 23 Stewart sentenced to 17 years on rape, meth charges By Sarah Hawley shawley@civitasmedia.com POMEROY — The man accused of raping his teenage stepdaughter entered a guilty plea Thursday morning to three of the eight counts he was facing in connection with the case. Joseph G. Stewart, 39, of Middleport, pleaded guilty to illegal assembly or possession of chemicals for the manufacture of methamphetamine, a felony of the third degree; rape, a felony of the first degree; and sexual battery, a felony of the third degree. Stewart will spend the next 17 years in prison as a result of his plea. The change of plea hearing came on the day he was sched- uled to go to trial for the crimes. Stewart was indicted last year on five counts of rape, each one a felony of the first degree; one count of illegal manufacture of methamphetamine, a felony of the first degree; illegal assembly or possession of chemicals for the manufacture of methamphetamine, a felony of the second degree; and sexual battery, a felony of the third degree. In accordance with the plea agreement, five counts of the indictment were dismissed along with case 13CR163. Stewart was originally indicted under case 13CR163, but was re-indicted to add additional charges and clarify the charges. According to the indictment, the methamphetamine-related charges occurred on or about Aug. 21, while the rape charges occurred from June 30 to Aug. 18. The indictment alleges that from June 30, 2013, to Aug. 18, 2013, Stewart engaged in sexual conduct with another when he purposely compelled the other person to submit by force or threat of force. The charge of sexual battery in the indictment states that no person shall engage in sexual conduct with another, not the spouse of the offender, when he is either the other person’s natural or adoptive parent. Victim’s Assistance Director Theda Petrasko addressed the court on behalf to the victim. She gave details of the crime and stated that the victim was in agreement with the plea deal to avoid being compelled to testify at trial. Stewart chose not to address the court other than answering yes and no to questions asked by the judge. Judge I. Carson Crow accepted Stewart’s guilty pleas and proceeded directly to sentencing. Crow followed the recommendations of council, sentencing Stewart to the maximum prison term for each charge, to run consecutively to one another. Stewart was sentenced to 11 years on the rape charge and three years each on the charges of sexual battery and illegal assembly or possession of chemicals for the manufacture of methamphetamine. He will also have to register as a Tier III sex offender for the rest of his life. Stewart was remanded to the custody of the Meigs County Sheriff’s Office to await transport. He has been jailed since his arrest Aug. 21. His wife, Brenda Stewart, who is also charged in the case, remains in the Middleport jail and is scheduled for trial later this month. The Stewarts were arrested Aug. 21 following the discovery of a methamphetamine lab at 60 1/2 Cole Street in Middleport.

Taking prescription drugs off the streets By Sarah Hawley shawley@civitasmedia.com POMEROY — The drug epidemic has become a major issue throughout the region and state over the past several years. Not only are illegal drugs an issue, but sometimes prescription drugs as well. One step to help in the battle against prescription drug abuse was taken in late 2012 with the placement of “Prescription Drug Drop Boxes” throughout southern Ohio. Two of those boxes are located in Meigs County. One box is located at the Meigs County Sheriff’s Office while the other is at the Middleport Police Department. The drop boxes are mailbox-style disposal bins that can be placed inside law enforcement agencies to be used by residents during normal business hours. Pills — either prescription or over the counter — and powdered medication can be disposed of in the box, according to Sgt. Adam Smith, who oversees the program at the Meigs County Sheriff’s Office. Liquids and syringes cannot be disposed of in the box. Smith encourages residents to bring medicine into the sheriff’s Sarah Hawley | Daily Sentinel The prescription drug box located at the Meigs County Sheriff’s Office is available for residents to dispose of out dated or unused medication in a safe manor. office to be properly disposed of. Once a certain amount of medication is taken in by the department, it is transported to the incinerator for disposal. The boxes were placed through a partnership with the Ohio Attorney General’s Office, the Ohio Department of Health and the Drug Free Action Alliance. A statement printed on the disposal box reads, “Unintentional drug overdoses are the leading cause of accidental deaths in Ohio.” In addition to the drug boxes located in the region, the Ohio Attorney General’s Office holds a drug take-back day once each year. The date and location for that event will be announced later. In addition to the two boxes in Meigs County, boxes are also located at the Gallia County Sheriff’s Office and the Gallipolis Police Department. A complete listing of drop box locations is available at ohioattorneygeneral.gov.

PATRIOT — Deputies with the Gallia County Sheriff ’s Office are currently investigating what they are calling a “suspicious death” after a local man was found dead late Wednesday evening in his Green Township home. John S. Sheets, 58, of 1401 Wray Road, was reportedly found dead in his home after a concerned citizen called to request that a deputy conduct a well-being check on the victim. According to a release issued by the sheriff’s office early Thursday, the Gallia County 911 Center received a call Wednesday concerning the victim who had not been seen in about two days. The caller further stated that Sheets’ truck had been located on an adjacent road and appeared John S. Sheets to be abandoned. After responding, a Gallia County deputy checked the vehicle and then traveled to Sheets’ residence. After failing to get anyone to respond to the door after knocking, the deputy, due to the circumstances, made entry into the residence and found Sheets lying on the floor in the home.

The idea was discussed by council during its last meeting to allow residents or anyone who may have business with the village to directly relay the matter to the mayor and a council member without bringing every matter before council. Mayor Jackie Welker said it would allow the council to con- duct business during the meetings while providing everyone a chance to voice their concerns. Before the second meeting of each month, beginning Feb. 24, people wishing to address a matter with the village may arrive an hour before the meeting (6 p.m.) to meet with Mayor Welker and a member of council. In February, council member Luke Ortman will attend the open discussion. The open discussion is designed for those who have matters that need to be addressed by a village office such as the police department or public works, which can be remedied without action required by council. These matters may include specific questions with regard to water meters or sewer lines to homes, etc. Any matter brought up in the open discussion that may require the action of council will still be brought before the group during the regular meeting, which is held at 7 p.m. on the second and fourth Monday of each month. Residents may still ask to be on the agenda for a council meeting or may contact the village with any concerns.

Stewart. After interviewing the minor child’s mother, Brenda A. Stewart, along with the stepfather, it was determined sexual abuse had occurred, according to law enforcement. Middleport Police Chief Bruce Swift and Sheriff Keith Wood have said officers with both departments responded to 60 1/2 Cole Street following up on a tip received through Meigs County Children Services regarding a methamphetamine lab and possible sexual abuse of a minor at the residence. The Stewarts live in an apartment at that address, according to Swift. While searching the residence, deputies allegedly located a one-pot reactionary vessel and white powder that tested positive for methamphetamine, along with chemicals used in the production of methamphetamine. The apartment building with around 25 residents — including some children, according to the sheriff — had to be evacuated due to the dangers from the methamphetamine lab.

Go figure! What is your “take” on Jesus? Do you esteem and seek to emulate Him as your Lord and Savior, or do you merely patronize Jesus every week or so by giving Him 60-some minutes of your time and attention? If this is your modus operandi, I cannot help but assume you expect Him to come alongside you, His rubber stamp in hand, to approve your personal agenda(s). If you are a “meat and potatoes” type Christian, growing and maturing in your faith and your heart’s desire being to attain spiritual perfection, so much the better; we have that in common. “Bread and milk Christians,” however, aren’t as committed or inclined to know more of Jesus or grow in their faith, and so are easy prey for the Devil to devour. Unfortunately, this latter group is quite prevalent in more than a few churches across America. Pick a church, most any church, and there one inevitably finds such as these who regard that church as their domain. Not so. Far from being the private property of any one individual or faction, the story of Pentecost serves as a potent reminder the church exists as an act of God, birthed through the Holy Spirit. So, then, the Church is God’s doing, His to control and ours to support by way of our “prayers, presence, gifts and our service. Indeed, all of the above. To use a common colloquialism, when in “God’s House” not only is God our Host, God is also the object and the audience of our worship. As we are to serve God in word and deed, so, too, let us worship Him “in spirit and in truth.” May our worship be extravagant and sincere, inspired by and indicative of an “attitude of gratitude.” A misuse of labels can be unreasonably damaging This past week, my wife, Diane, crafted a homemade cookbook to give to a young couple preparing to soon marry. Members of our church family each contributed one or two favorite family recipes for the soon-to-be newlyweds and placed them in various sections of the cookbook. To help them navigate to recipes they might want to use on specific occasions, Diane placed within it little tabs — one for “Appetizers,” one for “Breakfast Foods,” another for “Main Dishes,” “Desserts” and so on. These little tabs, or “labels” are intended to save time and make things more convenient for the user of the cookbook. This is naturally the whole point of labeling: assisting one in properly identifying something so that he or she may properly handle that thing. Labels are obviously important in that they help us to know what pills might be the medicines we need, what books we may want to read (yes, book covers are, after all, labels, too) and what streets will lead us to our desired destinations. Imagine the frustration of traveling through an unfamiliar city with no “labels” (street signs) or the danger of trying to find life-saving medication from a row of unmarked bottles in a medicine cabinet. Having no labels would be a very difficult ordeal to overcome — both inconvenient and potentially lethal. By the same token, consider how problematic it would be to have labels that were misleading or outright wrong! A road side sign that says there is a rest area ahead might give one false hope for a potty break if it turns out that, when the desperate traveler arrives, the rest area is closed due to renovation.

They have rationally created in six days. considered what evidence While I don’t mind at all was available to them and sharing my own perspective have arrived at a reasonable (or viable) conclusion. Another label tossed out by Nye was that of “followers of Ken Ham” in reference to those who hold to a Creationist point-of-view. Yet again, this is poor labeling on Nye’s part. Right or wrong, that perspective preexisted Ham and has been espoused by many other “reasonable” men and women. But that is what labeling does when it is not held accountable. It dismisses, it slanders and disempowers (or seeks to) those with whom we disagree. Labeling is necessary to some extent and can be a good thing. I do not mind the label at all of “Christian” and am undeserving of the honor of being called a “child of God,” but since God in His Word is the One doing the labeling, I readily embrace it as truth. Mr. Nye, please be careful in your use of labels. If you are a true scientist, then you want to know things as they truly are and look beyond what things are merely rumored to be. I truly believe, Mr. Nye, that if you honestly and objectively considered the claims of Christ and the validity of His Word, you yourself would “reasonably” arrive at the conclusion that His Word is true (whether we’re talking about Creation or His plan for salvation). But to objectively arrive at such a conclusion, you just might have to let go the assumptions that cloud your ability to truly reason. “I will bless the LORD at all times; His praise shall continually be in my mouth. My soul makes its boast in the LORD; let the humble hear and be glad…. Oh, taste and see that the LORD is good! Blessed is the man who takes refuge in Him!” (Psalm 34:1-2, 8 ESV). Search the Scripture In the beginning of the apostle Paul’s epistle to the Galatians, the apostle greets his readers with this benediction: “Grace to you and peace from God the Father and our Lord Jesus Christ, who gave Himself for our sins, that He might deliver us from this present evil age, according to the will of our God and Father, to whom be glory forever and ever. Amen.” (Galatians 1:3-5) Relatedly, the apostle John warned readers, “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 Fa- ther 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) John added later, “the whole world lies under the sway of the wicked one.” (1 John 5:19b) Peter, on the day of Pentecost, preached this message: “Be saved from this perverse generation.” (Acts 2:40) This theme was not unique to the apostles; they learned if from Jesus Himself who said, “And this is the condemnation, that the light has come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil,” (John 3:19) and, then later of his apostles, “I have given them Your word; and the world has hated them because they are not of the world, just as I am not of the world. I do not pray that You should take them out of the world, but that You should keep them from the evil one. They are not of the world, just as I am not of the world. Sanctify them by Your truth. Your word is truth.” (John 17:15-17) The wording is different, but the meaning is the same throughout: the world is a wicked place, filled with wicked people, and unless we remove ourselves from the world, spiritually speaking, we are going to be condemned and destroyed with the world. Many, when confronted with the wickedness of the world, assume that they are the exception, that God is unhappy with everyone except them, and possibly their close friends and relations. But this is not the case. Again, John makes it clear that it is the whole world which lies under the control of the wicked one. Elsewhere we read, “All have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God,” and “There is none righteous, no, not one; there is none who understands; there is none who seeks after God. They have all turned aside; they have together become unprofitable.” (Romans 3:10-12, 6:23) The sins that separate men from God are many. Paul gives a summation, describing the wickedness of the world, saying, “And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a debased mind, to do those things which are not fitting; being filled with all unrighteousness, sexual immorality, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, evil-mindedness; they are whisperers, backbiters, haters of God, violent, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents, undiscerning, untrustworthy, unloving, unforgiving, unmerciful; who, knowing the righteous judgment of God, that those who practice such things are deserving of death, not only do the same but also approve of those who practice them.” (Romans 1:28-31) �Friday, February 7, 2014 www.mydailysentinel.com The Daily Sentinel s Page A5 Meigs County Church Directory Pageville Freewill Baptist Church Pastor: Floyd Ross.

With the Cavs sliding further toward the bottom in another disappointing season, owner Dan Gilbert decided to make the move a day after Cleveland was beaten Wednesday night by an injuryravaged Los Angeles Lakers team that finished the game with just five players. Grant’s tenure will be known for not being able to rebuild the Cavs fast enough despite having a slew of first-round draft picks, including two No. 1 overall selections. Vice president of basketball operations David Griffin is the acting general manager. Gilbert promised the Cavs would not return to the NBA lottery and would make the playoffs after a three-year absence, but Cleveland is 16-33 and has dropped six in a row — matching its longest losing streak of the season. The Cavs are 5½ games out of the final playoff spot in the weak Eastern Conference and their only win in the last nine games came over Milwaukee, which has the league’s worst record. In a statement released by the team, Gilbert said, “This has been a very difficult period for the franchise. We have severely underperformed against expectations. Just as this is completely unacceptable to our loyal and passionate fan base, season ticket holders and corporate partners, it is also just as unacceptable to our ownership group.” Grant addressed the team’s poor play last week, saying everyone in the organization was accountable, including himself. Some of his biggest moves over the past year have backfired. Grant shocked many by drafting Anthony Bennett with the first pick last June and then signed free agent center Andrew Bynum during the summer when no other team would offer the 7-footer a contract. Grant was able to unload Bynum in a trade with Chicago for Luol Deng, but the forward’s arrival has done little to invigorate the Cavs. “The fans of this great city have invested too much time, money and effort for the kind of product we have recently delivered to them,” Gilbert said. “This must change.” Grant replaced Danny Ferry, who left the team following Cleveland’s elimination from the 2010 playoffs. Grant was instrumental in the rehiring of coach Mike Brown, who could be on shaky ground himself. Cleveland has been under .500 since the fifth game of the season and the players have been slow to pick up Brown’s system on both ends of the floor. In a season that’s already had too many low moments, the Cavs hit rock bottom Wednesday. Not only did they fall behind by 29 points to Los Angeles, the Lakers played the final few minutes with five healthy players, including one who was allowed to remain in the game after committing his sixth foul because coach Mike D’Antoni was out of bodies. The Cavs were booed throughout the game and Brown, who has been Bryan Walters | OVP Sports Eastern freshman Jett Facemyer (10) releases a shot attempt while senior teammate Chase Cook (30) battles for rebounding position during a December 10 basketball contest against South Gallia in Tuppers Plains, Ohio.

The Eastern boys basketball team was outscored by a 33-19 overall margin in the first and third quarters, allowing visiting Nelsonville-York to sneak away from the Eagle’s Nest Wednesday night with a 65-55 victory in a non-conference matchup in Meigs County. The Eagles (1-16) trailed 18-11 after eight minutes of play, but the hosts countered with a 19-16 second quarter run to close the halftime gap down to two possessions at 34-30. The Buckeyes (10-7), however, answered the second half bell with a 15-8 third quarter surge, allowing NYHS to secure a double-digit lead of 49-38 entering the finale. EHS closed regulation with a slim 17-16 spurt to wrap up the 10-point outcome, but never came closer than three possessions down the stretch. Chase Cook and Christian Speelman both led EHS with 15 points apiece, followed by Cameron Richmond with 10 markers. Jett Facemyer was next with seven points, while Greyson Wolfe chipped in four markers. Chase Jenkins and Daschle Facemyer rounded out the Eastern scoring with two points apiece. The hosts were 16-of-21 at the free throw line for 76 percent. Jay Elliott paced the Buckeyes with a game-high 18 points, followed by Colt Adams and Josh Fayette with 17 markers apiece. NYHS was 14-of-20 at the charity stripe for 70 percent.

The acquisition of Deng last month brought hope the season could be salvaged, but that proved to be temporary. The Cavs went 3-2 on a West Coast trip, but followed that with a 1-4 record on its longest homestand of the season. Cleveland then lost three consecutive road games, including a 31-point rout by the Knicks on national television. Grant joined the Cavaliers in 2005 as vice president of basketball operations/assistant general manager in 2005. He was hired as general manager on June 4, 2010. bwalters@civitasmedia.com CENTENARY, Ohio — The hole was just too deep to climb out of. The Gallia Academy girls basketball team hit nine three-pointers and made a valiant 35-25 second half charge, but the hosts ultimately came up short Wednesday on Senior Night during a 66-52 setback to Jackson in a Southeastern Ohio Athletic League matchup in Gallia County. The Blue Angels (8-12, 1-6 SEOAL) trailed 24-7 after eight minutes of play and were never closer than the final 14-point outcome. The Ironladies (17-2, 8-0) followed with a 17-10 second quarter run to secure a commanding 41-17 cushion at the intermission. JHS claimed its largest lead of the night at the 6:54 mark of the third period after Lydia Poe opened the second half scoring with a basket, giving the guests a 43-17 advantage. GAHS, however, countered with a 15-10 run over the final six-plus minutes to close to within 53-32 entering the finale. Going against mostly reserves down the stretch, the Blue Angels made a 20-13 surge to wrap up regulation at the 66-52 margin. Jackson — which had already clinched the outright SEOAL championship before the start of the contest — finished up the program’s third-ever league crown with its first-ever unblemished SEOAL record. The Ironladies also claimed a season sweep of GAHS after posting a 62-44 victory at JHS back on December 14. Kendra Barnes led Gallia Academy with 23 points, followed by Micah Curfman with 20 points and Makenzie Barr with five markers. Kassie Shriver — the lone Blue Angel senior — tallied four points in her final home game with the Blue and White.

The hosts were 15-of-24 at the free throw line for 63 percent and made 14 total field goals in the setback. Lydia Poe paced Jackson with a game-high 34 points, followed by Madison Ridout with 10 points and Whitney Wills with nine markers. JHS was 16of-31 at the charity stripe for 52 percent. Toyota lands naming rights at famed Daytona DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. (AP) — Toyota Motor Corp. on Thursday became the first company to land a naming rights deal at the revamped Daytona International Speedway. The Japanese automaker and International Speedway Corp., which owns the famous Florida track, announced the sponsorship deal at the Chicago Auto Show. The 11-year agreement, which begins in 2015, will provide Toyota with naming rights to one of the five massive fan entrances at the redesigned speedway. Toyota will have more than 20,000 square feet with which to work, giving the company plenty of space to showcase its automotive lineup and promote affiliated race teams. “This is a unique opportunity for Toyota to elevate our brand in the motorsports community,” said Bob Carter, senior vice president of auto- motive operations of Toyota Motor Sales in the United States. The deal contains no exclusivity clause, meaning a rival car manufacturer, like Chevrolet or Ford, could sponsor another fan entrance at Daytona. It does, however, make Toyota an official partner of the Daytona 500 and gives the company pace-car privileges. The means a foreign manufacturer will lead the field under caution at “The Great American Race.” “Toyota has been a great partner for many years and we will continue to work together to enhance the fan experience at many of our facilities across the country,” speedway CEO Lesa France Kennedy said. Daytona is undergoing a $400 million renovation, dubbed “Daytona Rising.” The project will overhaul the frontstretch grandstands with new tiered concourses, wider seats and additional restrooms and concessions. It is scheduled for completion in 2016. The track will have 11 football field-sized “neighborhoods” that feature video screens as well as retail and dining areas. “Daytona Rising represents our commitment to delivering engaging and innovative ways for our partners to showcase their brand,” track president Joie Chitwood III said. “We’re proud to integrate Toyota into this historic project. Our fans and guests will now enjoy more exciting, innovative and engaging experiences from the moment they enter the new facility to the time they reach their seats and beyond.” Toyota also announced Thursday that it was extending a multi-year partnership with Kansas Speedway that includes using the automakers line of vehicles as pace cars for its races. Toyota became the official pace car at Kansas in 2012. �Page B2 s The Daily Sentinel www.mydailysentinel.com Friday, February 7, 2014 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.

(AP) — Austin Richie scored 22 points and had a nearly perfect shooting night on Wednesday to lead Western Michigan over Ohio 90-74. Richie hit all three of his 3-point attempts, all nine of his free throws, and shot 5 of 6 from the field overall. Western Michigan shot 59.6 percent, including 8 of 13 from 3-point range. David Brown added 20 points, while Shayne Whittington and Connar Tava each scored 18 to pull the Broncos (13-8, 6-3 Mid-American) even with Ohio in conference play. The score was tied 57-57 with 9 minutes to play when the Broncos broke the game open with a 17-4 run. Richie capped the run on a jumper with 4:41 left to give Western Michigan a 74-61 lead; the Broncos led by no less than nine points from there. Maurice Ndour had 20 points to lead the Bobcats (16-6, 6-3). Def. coordinator Patterson leaves WVU MORGANTOWN, W.Va. (AP) — West Virginia coach Dana Holgorsen says defensive coordinator Keith Patterson has voluntarily left the football program. Holgorsen thanked Patterson for his two years with the team and says “we wish him nothing but the best.” The school announced Patterson’s departure without elaborating Thursday and declined further comment. Patterson’s departure comes a day after the Mountaineers signed 21 football recruits, including nine on defense. Patterson spent one season as defensive coordinator after arriving at West Virginia in 2012 and serving that season as co-coordinator and linebackers coach. The 2013 defense was the worst in the Big 12 in passing yards and touchdown passes allowed and had the second-fewest sacks in the league. Duck Commander now NASCAR title sponsor at Texas FORT WORTH, Texas (AP) — The NASCAR Sprint Cup race at Texas is going to the ducks this spring. Texas Motor Speedway on Thursday announced a three-year title sponsorship agreement for its spring race with Duck Commander, the brand of best-selling duck calls and Robertson family-owned company featured on the A&E show “Duck Dynasty.” The deal is for the spring race at the track. The April 6 race will be known as the Duck Commander 500. “This is perhaps the most unique sponsorship in professional sports because not only does this come with special branding, it comes with celebrity spokespeople that are followed by tens of millions of people every week,” TMS President Eddie Gossage said. “Fans will see members of the Robertson family and cast of ‘Duck Dynasty’ and all the rest during Duck Commander 500 week here at Texas Motor Speedway and we have produced some awesome merchandise that both race fans and Duck Commander fans will love. This marriage is perfection.” The deal includes an option for an additional three years. Financial terms weren’t released. “We are all big fans of NASCAR and have been all our lives,” said Willie Robertson, the CEO of Duck Commander, the company founded 42 years ago by his father in West Monroe, La. “It’s especially exciting to see our brand join to make it an awesome experience for the fan base and we can’t think of a better place than our neighbor at the Texas Motor Speedway.” The bearded stars of “Duck Dynasty” were featured on the hood of Clint Bowyer’s car in a Sprint Cup race at Watkins Glen last August. Bowyer appeared on the show in November 2012, in an episode when Willie Robertson brings up the idea of sponsoring the driver’s car for a race. WVU beats No. 21 Oklahoma in OT, 91-86 MORGANTOWN, W.Va. (AP) — Eron Harris helped put a stop to West Virginia’s long drought against ranked opponents. The sophomore scored 26 of his 28 points after halftime and the Mountaineers outlasted No. 21 Oklahoma 91-86 in overtime Wednesday night. West Virginia broke a streak of 16 straight losses against opponents in The Associated Press poll dating to the 2011-12 season. “This is probably the first big win in my life,” Harris said. “I’m finally part of beating a ranked team in D-I college basketball — that’s a dream for me.” Harris forced overtime with a 3-pointer with 20 seconds left in regulation and scored six of West Virginia’s 10 points in the extra period. He went 10 of 18 from the field, including making six 3-pointers, in his best performance in more than two months. Harris said he made no adjustments after attempting just three shots in the first half and picking up two fouls. His focus after halftime was simply on not fouling again and landing a spot on the bench. His instinct to score quickly took over. “My hungriness to win just comes in to play, so I just had to stay in the game,” he said. West Virginia needed his late shooting because leading scorer Juwan Staten, coming off a 35-point performance Saturday in a win over Kansas State, got few shots to fall after halftime. Still, Staten finished with 20 points, 10 rebounds and six assists for the Mountaineers (14-9, 6-4 Big 12), who won their third straight. Terry Henderson scored 17 points. Travel problems prohibited Oklahoma from arriving at the arena until 90 minutes before tipoff. The Sooners overcame that and a 14-point deficit in the second half but were limited to five points in overtime in losing their second straight. After traveling 2,000 miles, Oklahoma was sluggish on both ends of the court. The Sooners shot 41 percent (28 of 69) from the field and surrendered the second-most points they have allowed all season. But Oklahoma coach Lon Kruger said he didn’t believe the travel slowed his players’ performances. “These guys are young and they love to play,” Kruger said. “I didn’t see any of it today.” Jordan Woodard led the Sooners (17-6, 6-4) with 23 points. Tyler Neal added 16 points, Buddy Hield had 15 and Ryan Spangler 10. West Virginia coach Bob Huggins wasn’t pleased his team let its guard down after building a double-digit lead. “I told them, I’m 60 and they have to stop doing this,” Huggins said. “When we’re up, we’ve got to make free throws and stop throwing it around.” Harris hit two 3-pointers in overtime, the second putting West Virginia ahead to stay, 87-84, with 2:36 left. Woodard had all five of Oklahoma’s points in overtime, including a layup with 1:33 left. But the Sooners didn’t score again. Staten made his first field goal since the first half with 59 seconds left, and he and Nathan Adrian each made a free throw to seal the win. The Sooners’ flight out of Oklahoma City was delayed for several hours Tuesday due to mechanical issues before the team switched planes. After the plane began descending to an airport in Clarksburg, a half hour south of Morgantown, visibility problems during a winter storm forced the pilot to abort the landing. Similar problems at other airports forced the flight to divert to Newark, N.J. The Sooners checked into a hotel there at 3:30 a.m. Wednesday. Twelve hours later, after yet another delay on the runway, the team boarded a flight for Clarksburg. Upon landing, the Sooners got a state police escort and arrived at the arena with little time to get ready. West Virginia jumped ahead by as many as 12 points in the first half and the lead could have been greater except the Mountaineers kept sending Oklahoma to the free throw line. Harris gave West Virginia its largest lead, 46-32, with a 3-pointer to start the second half. Hield got the Sooners going after a quiet first half with seven straight points, and Oklahoma chipped away at the deficit until Spangler’s layup and free throw with 1:38 left in regulation put the Sooners ahead 79-78 — their first lead since midway through the first half. After Neal made two free throws, Harris’ made a 3-pointer from the right side to send the game into overtime. “We didn’t do a good job of slowing him down in the second half,” Kruger said of Harris. Steve Ringman | Seattle Times | MCT Seattle Seahawks coach Pete Carroll waves to the crowd during the Super Bowl parade in Seattle on Wednesday, Feb. 5. Seattle turns up for Seahawks Super Bowl parade SEATTLE (AP) — Hundreds of thousands of notoriously loud Seahawks fans cranked up the volume Wednesday, cheering, chanting and going berserk during a parade and ceremony to celebrate the first Super Bowl victory in the history of the franchise. The mood in Seattle was electrified as the parade featuring the NFL champions began near the Space Needle and made its way to CenturyLink Field, the home of the team. At a ceremony inside the stadium, the team thanked its loyal followers — the 12th Man — capping a day of boisterous celebration that drew an estimated 700,000 revelers to Seattle. Players were introduced by the order of their jersey numbers and ended with No. 3, quarterback Russell Wilson, who walked onto the field pumping the Lombardi Trophy in the air to thunderous applause. “Our plan is to win another one for you next year,” Wilson said later. Coach Pete Carroll led the crowd in a “Seahawks! Seahawks!” chant and said the team will be back. “We’re just getting warmed up, if you know what I’m talking about,” he said. Nick Sutton watched the parade from Westlake Center and considered it a highlight when he threw a football to one of the players who threw it back to him. “It’s surreal. It’s hard to believe. Seeing this now, it’s finally sinking in,” he said. Hundreds of thousands of fan lined the streets of downtown Seattle early in the day and cheered as the players rolled by. Thousands of students apparently skipped school to attend. Seattle Public Schools said more than 25 percent of the district’s 51,000 students were absent in the morning. By comparison, about 5 percent were absent the day before. The school district also said 565 teachers were absent, far more than usual. “This is a historical event, once in a lifetime. To not show up would be blasphemy,” said Jesse Lake, 36, a carpenter from Port Orchard, who stood in the packed parking lot outside CenturyLink Field to greet the team as they arrived. Shawn Cooper and Marlana Studebaker of Covington staked out a spot hours before the parade started and displayed supersized photo cutouts of Wilson and cornerback Richard Sherman, prompting many fans to stop and take photos. “This was a long-awaited win. It’s well worth the wait,” Cooper said. “They’re years ahead of their time, which makes me believe there’s another one coming.” Dakota Heaphy, 20, and friend Ellie Hergert, 20, drove all night from Cheyenne, Wyo. — more than 1,400 miles away. “My boss is a Broncos fan and said we kicked their butts and deserved to go,” Hergert said. Revelers packed the 2-mile route, wearing blue and green wigs, waving flags, scarves and signs, and breaking out into song and dance. The Washington National Guard chauffeured many of the players in Humvees and other military vehicles under blue, sunny skies in cold temperatures. Elected officials rode along in amphibious vehicles used to take tourists around the city. Players enjoyed the celebration as much as the fans. Running back Marshawn Lynch sat on the hood of a vehicle carrying the Sea Gals cheerleaders. He tossed Skittles — his favorite treat — into the crowd. Other Seahawks players threw jerseys and T-shirts to fans while waving blue “12” flags as a sign of gratitude. Boisterous fans observed a “moment of loudness” at 12:12 p.m. Crowds also gathered in Spokane, Olympia and elsewhere in the state to celebrate the first championship in the 38-year history of the franchise. Many fans had camped out overnight to reserve front-row seats along the route, braving freezing temperatures. Others perched on window sills and balconies, climbed trees and pillars, or sat on sturdier shoulders to get a better view. At Westlake Center, smartphones and cameras were thrust into the air whenever players rolled by. Seattle city officials asked the public to keep cellphone use to a minimum to keep lines free for emergency use. There were some reported difficulties with 911 calls getting through, said Jeff Reading, a spokesman for the mayor. Chris Hoops, a sales worker from Everett, and his school-aged daughters left home at 7 a.m. to get a good spot. The girls, 11-year-old Emily and 8-year-old Bella, were bundled in sleeping bags at his feet. They warmed up when they were asked whether they were sorry about missing school. They shouted “No!” in unison. “I like the Seahawks,” Emily said. “They were really good this season.” �Friday, February 7, 2014 The Daily Sentinel s Page B3 www.mydailysentinel.com PUBLIC NOTICE NOTICE: is hereby given that on Saturday, February 8, 2014 at 10:00 a.m., a public sale will be held at 211 W.

Robert Griffin III, the No. 2 pick in the 2012 draft, set numerous rookie records and was picked AP Offensive Rookie of the Year for the Washington Redskins. Shanahan could get the chance again in his first season in Cleveland. The Browns own the fourth pick in the NFL draft and are expected to take a quarterback, possibly former Heisman Trophy winner Johnny Manziel of Texas A&M. “The most important thing is asking them to do what they’re great at and then working and improving on other aspects of their game,” Shanahan said. “You don’t need a certain type of quarterback, you just want a good quarterback.” New Browns coach Mike Pettine introduced Shanahan on Thursday along with defensive coordinator Jim O’Neil and special teams coordinator Chris Tabor. Pettine took different routes to land the trio. He never worked with Shanahan but was impressed by his six years as coordinator, two with Houston and four with Washington. O’Neil played for Pettine’s father, Mike Sr., in high school in Pennsylvania and they worked together for the last five years with the New York Jets and Buffalo Bills. Tabor will enter his fourth year in Cleveland — with his third head coach. “I think the guys are going to instantly respect the guys we’ve hired because its, to me, a staff of men of high character, vast football knowledge, coupled with the ability to teach it,” Pettine said. Pettine was impressed by Shanahan’s scheme flexibility and the success of his offenses, either throwing or running. In four of Shanahan’s six years as coordinator, his offense ranked in the top 10 in yardage, and Washington in 2012 became the first team in NFL history to pass for 3,400 yards and rush for 2,700 yards in the same season. “Kyle Shanahan is one of the best offensive minds in football,” Pettine said. However, the 34-year-old Shanahan and father Mike Shanahan, the Redskins’ former head coach, were let go by Washington on Dec. 30 after going 3-13. Griffin’s production slipped in his return from a torn anterior cruciate ligament suffered in the playoffs in 2012, and his relationship with the Shanahans deteriorated. Shanahan said he learned a lot from his time with Griffin. “We did a lot of real good things together,” Shanahan said. “I’m very proud of that first year. I think he arguably had one of the best years in NFL history for a rookie quarterback, and I enjoyed coaching him. “Anytime you go through a 3-13 season, it’s tough, it is a challenge, it’s a challenge on your relationship. You’ve got to deal with a lot of stuff, a lot of negativity, and the thing I learned going through that, especially with a high-profile guy, there’s a lot more stuff that comes out. I think Robert and I got through a very tough time, we managed to keep our relationship through the year. I’m not going to say it was easy.” O’Neil is a coordinator for the first time. He was linebackers coach in Buffalo in 2013 and spent the previous four years working with defensive backs for the Jets. Notes: Pettine hired 11 more assistants Thursday, nearly completing his staff: quarterbacks coach Dowell Loggains, wide receivers coach Mike McDaniel, offensive line coach Andy Moeller, running backs coach Wilbert Montgomery, defensive line coach Anthony Weaver, strength and conditioning coach Paul Ricci, assistant offensive line coach George DeLeone, assistant strength and conditioning coach Chris DiSanto, offensive quality control coach Richard Hightower, assistant strength and conditioning coach Derik Keyes and defensive quality control coach Tony Tuioti. Alabama rules signing day — again — and USC surges By Ralph D. Russo The Associated Press On signing day, Alabama is still No. 1. A season without a national championship on the field didn’t slow down coach Nick Saban on the recruiting trail. The fivestar prospects flocked to Tuscaloosa, including one who went to high school at Auburn. National signing day had coaches up at the crack of dawn and fax machines beeping on college campuses around the country — though more and more recruits email their national letter of intent these days. Hats were donned, a few commitments were flipped and mostly the rich got richer: National champion Florida State, Ohio State, Stanford, Oklahoma and Notre Dame were among the programs that received high marks. And as usual, most of the Southeastern Conference got glittering grades from the experts. None better than Alabama. The Crimson Tide sat atop the rankings for Rivals, Scout, 247sports and ESPN. Alabama signed six of 33 players given five-star ratings by Rivals, including Rashaan Evans, a linebacker from Auburn High School who didn’t decide to roll with the Tide until Wednesday, passing joining his hometown Tigers. No other school had more than three five-stars. “He kind of lapped the field,” Tom Lemming of CBS Sports Network said about Saban. This marks the third straight year and fifth time in the last six years Alabama has Rivals’ topranked class. Ultimately, the strength of the class will be determined in a few years. Good luck topping the 2009 Alabama class with AJ McCarron, Trent Richardson, Eddie Lacy, D.J. Fluker and Dre Kirkpatrick. But when it comes to signing day grades, is Alabama’s latest class Saban’s best yet? “Yes,” said Mike Farrell, national recruiting analyst for Rivals.com. “They’re competing against themselves, oftentimes. “This is the highest point total we have ever had at Rivals. They broke the record last year and this year, they broke it again.” Other news and notes from signing day. SARK ATTACK Southern California’s first signing day with Steve Sarkisian as coach could not have gone much better. Three of the highestrated players that entered the day undecided picked the Trojans, starting with 360-pound offensive lineman Damien Mama from Bellflower, Calif. Next up was Adoree’ Jackson from Gardena, Calif. The five-star cornerback put his own spin on the pick-a-hat announcement ceremony by digging through a shopping bag for his choice. He pulled out a sports drink, a sneaker, some other stuff, before slapping on a USC hat. The theatrics fell a bit flat, but no doubt Trojans coaches and fans were entertained in the end. “Growing up as a little kid, my favorite player was Reggie Bush,” Jackson said. Jackson was also considering UCLA, LSU and Florida. “Adoree’ was the big surprise,” Farrell said. “We had no idea what that kid was going to do.” Finally, it was John Smith, better known as Juju, from Long Beach, Calif., picking USC over Oregon, Notre Dame and UCLA. “Fight on, dude,” Smith said. The strong finish had USC ranked 10th in the nation by Rivals and Scout. MOMMA DRAMA Malik McDowell wants to go to Michigan State. The five-star defensive end said so Wednesday morning during a news conference at Southfield (Mich.) High School. His father, who has said publicly he would rather have his son leave Michigan and go to Ohio State or Florida State, is now on board with that decision. McDowell’s mother, Joya Crowe, wasn’t at the announcement. She has said she had a bad experience at Michigan State and wants her son to go elsewhere. Michigan was also in the mix for McDowell. Crowe’s signature is not required on the letter of intent. “Dad’s willing to sign but they want mom on board,” Farrell said. Michigan State’s official list of signees released Wednesday afternoon did not have McDowell’s name on it. Another bit of family drama was reportedly playing out in Oklahoma. Defensive end Deondre Clark of Oklahoma City was expected to sign with LSU, but now there’s some uncertainty. Clark’s family seems to be urging him to stay close to home and play for the Sooners, Farrell said. ODDS AND ENDS New Penn State coach James Franklin ended up signing a top-25 class that included five players who had been committed to Vanderbilt when Franklin was there. … Franklin’s departure crushed Vanderbilt’s class. New Commodore’s coach Derek Mason did manage to lure one stud recruit, defensive end Nifae Lealao from Sacramento, Calif., to Vandy. Lealalo had wanted to go to Stanford. … Charlie Strong’s first recruiting class was not quite up to the usual Texas top10 standards. More like top-20. Strong’s ties to SEC country, which the Longhorns hope will extend their reach in the near future, did help land defensive tackle Poona Ford from Hilton Head, S.C. Meanwhile, Texas A&M’s class drew consensus top-10 grades. … D.J. Law, a three-star prospect who could end up at receiver or defensive back, submitted signed letters of intent to both Utah and Ole Miss, The schools are trying to sort out how to fix this problem. Trevor Bayne fit, gearing up for Daytona 500 TALLADEGA, Ala. (AP) — Trevor Bayne speeds around tracks in his No. 21 Ford getting himself and his car ready for the upcoming season, and then does it some more in his running shoes whenever he gets the chance. The 2011 Daytona 500 winner and part-time triathlete is fit, motivated and hungry to contend for another big win upon his return later this month to the scene of his greatest triumph and to challenge for a Nationwide Series championship. “This is a really big year for us,” Bayne said during a break from Thursday’s solitary testing session. He’s scheduled to run 12 Sprint Cup races, including all four on the speedways, with The Wood Brothers plus a full-time Nationwide schedule for Roush Fenway Racing. “Being here at Talladega by ourselves today, I think that shows that this team wants to do what it takes to be the best and to have a shot to win those 12 races that we show up at,” he said. The daily workouts, including those squeezed-in runs at racetracks, are also indicative of his thriving Jeff Siner | Charlotte Observer | MCT Trevor Bayne, middle, smiles as he is congratulated by his team after winning the pole for the Nationwide series’ 32nd Annual DRIVE4COPD 300 on Friday, Feb. 22, 2013, at Daytona International Speedway, in Daytona Beach, Fla. health. Bayne went public in November with the revelation that he has multiple sclerosis, but said he still has no symptoms and isn’t taking medication. An outspoken Christian who often shares his religious testimony in speeches, Bayne said that good health just reinforces his faith. Bayne also said he’s been training harder than ever, meeting three times a week with a personal trainer and going on 1.5-mile swims, three-mile runs and 25-plus mile bike rides. �Friday, February 7, 2014 The Daily Sentinel s Page B5 www.mydailysentinel.com BLONDIE By Dean Young and John Marshall BEETLE BAILEY By Mort, Greg and Brian Walker Today’s answer RETAIL By Norm Feuti HAGAR THE HORRIBLE HI AND LOIS By Chris Browne Written By Brian & Greg Walker; Drawn By Chance Browne THE BRILLIANT MIND OF EDISON LEE By John Hambrock BABY BLUES ZITS By Jerry Scott & Rick Kirkman By Jerry Scott and Jim Borgman PARDON MY PLANET CONCEPTIS SUDOKU By Vic Lee RHYMES WITH ORANGE Hank Ketcham’s DENNIS THE MENACE by Dave Green By Hilary Price THE LOCKHORNS By Bunny Hoest & John Reiner By Bil and Jeff Keane Make the Switch to DISH Today and Save Up To 50% Call Now and Ask How! 1-800-401-1670 All offers require 24-month commitment and credit qualification.Call 7 days a week 8am - 11pm EST Promo Code: MB0913 *Offer subject to change based on premium movie channel availability Today’s Solution THE FAMILY CIRCUS Promotional prices ly ... starting at on FREE OVER 30 PREMIUM MOVIE CHANNELS mo. ths for 12 monHo pper Not eligible wi2 th or iPad offer.

Thank goodness. To put it mildly, this has not been the most carefree of lead-ups to the Olympics. It has been roiled by security concerns, arguments about gay rights and the still-questionable hosting abilities of a country that spent $50 billion but remained busy slapping paint on buildings only hours before the cauldron was set to be lit. Snowboarder Shaun White pulled out of slopestyle — one of the newest, most-anticipated events. Lindsey Vonn never showed up. Still, there are in the neighborhood of 3,000 skiers, skaters, sliders and others getting ready (OTCBB:GTRY) to put on a show for the next 16 days or so. Most of them will be at the opening ceremony Friday, where the long, time-filling barrage of fun facts about the 88 participating countries — “Yes, Bob, there really is a mountain in Jamaica. Blue Mountain Peak rises to 7,402 feet” — will brighten the TV coverage. Then, on Saturday, it’s finally “go” time. (Except for the few dozen athletes who actually compete Thursday in a handful of events that started early due to a jam-packed schedule.) Here are a few things to watch as the action gets going in earnest: TEAM SKATING — Can he or can’t he? Russian skating icon Evgeni Plushenko won a spot for a newly added event, team figure skating. It was based upon a performance seen by nobody outside of the country’s top skating officials. Dealing with back problems, Plushenko has hardly been seen in actual competition over the past year. The skater who has already won Olympic gold and two silvers is hoping to add another to his collection in an event designed to bring a sense of camaraderie to a sport that has always been about individual performances. The men’s team long program is Sunday. BREAKING YOUR OWN RECORD — In some circles, Ole Einar Bjoerndalen of Norway is considered among the best athletes of all time. He’s got a record 11 Olympic medals in the taxing sport of biathlon. Still competing at 40, he’ll go for No. 12 on Saturday in the 10 kilometer sprint. While Americans may not appreciate biathlon in the same way Olympic fans on the other side of the Atlantic do, everyone loves watching a wily ol’ pro give it one more shot. Bjoerndalen will certainly make it worth watching. “For me, only first place counts, you can forget the rest,” he said. SEEING DOUBLE, AND TRIPLE — On the halfpipe, the Americans have the aptly named brother-sister team of Taylor and Arielle Gold. They compete next Tuesday and Wednesday. Meanwhile, Canada’s moguls team does them one better with three sisters from the DufourLapointe family — Justine, Chloe and Maxime. Expect at least two of them to advance to the women’s moguls finals set for Saturday. THERE’S STILL SLOPESTYLE — White might not be there, but the slopestyle course is steep, tricky and brutal. The calculus for the event changes daily, once the injuries are added up. Once, Canada’s Mark McMorris and White were expected to vie for gold. But McMorris broke a rib at the Winter X Games, meaning he’ll be riding in pain, and White is out so he can put all his energy into halfpipe. Canada’s Max Parrot won the X Games with a pair of triple corks, the toughest trick on the mountain. Another to watch in Saturday’s final: Canada’s Sebastien Toutant. American Jamie Anderson is the favorite for the women on Sunday. AP Photo Yuzuru Hanyu of Japan competes in the men’s team short program figure skating competition at the Iceberg Skating Palace during the 2014 Winter Olympics, Thursday, Feb. 6, 2014, in Sochi, Russia. Hanyu gives Japan lead in team figure skating SOCHI, Russia (AP) — Evgeni Plushenko stole the show, then Yuzuru Hanyu stole the lead in the new team event at the Sochi Olympics. Three-time medalist Plushenko, in what certainly is the swan song to a brilliant career, put on his best performance in years Thursday night. For nearly three minutes, he had the crowd enraptured. For almost an hour he had Russia atop the standings. But Hanyu, the Grand Prix champion and among the favorites for the individual gold medal, was even better — by 6½ points. The 19-year-old Japanese was smoother and more intricate with his footwork, his jumps were massive — he nearly crossed the width of the ice on his triple axel — and his spins were exquisite. When he finished, Hanyu bowed to his teammates who were celebrating in the cheering section set aside for them behind the end boards. While awaiting the marks, his teammates joined him in the kiss-andcry area, dancing behind Hanyu before the 97.98 points hit the scoreboard. That earned Japan 10 points to nine for Russia and eight for Canada as three-time world champion Patrick Chan struggled. The United States was seventh after a poor showing by Jeremy Abbott. “He was my hero,” Hanyu said of Plushenko. “That’s why I was happy to skate here with him.” His coach, Brian Orser, helped Yuna Kim win the 2010 Olympic gold, but was perplexed about how to approach the team competition. “It’s so strange for all of us, for the athletes, for the coaches,” said Orser, a twotime Olympic silver medalist. “You want your athlete to nail it. You can’t tell them to hold back.” Later Thursday night was the pairs short program in the team competition. The 31-year-old Plushenko pulled out all his tricks, and they were considerable. But after hitting his quadruple toe looptriple toe combination, an insecure triple axel and a triple lutz to open the routine, he also slowed down considerably. No matter because the three-time Olympic medalist had the crowd — and the judges — eating out of his hands. And when he pumped his arms midway through his skate to “Tango de Roxanne,” as if asking for more cheers, the sound level skyrocketed. “I already win for myself, because after 12 surgeries in my body, I can skate for (a) fourth time in Olympic Games,” said Plushenko, who won silver in 2002 and 2010, gold in 2006. “So it’s already good. And today, with this day, this first day for me, I’m so happy today.” Ever the master showman, at the end of his 2-minute, 48-second performance, Plushenko spent just as much time soaking up the adulation. He threw kisses to the fans, took long and deep bows, including a final one just before he exited to be surrounded by his teammates. “It’s hard competing at home, so hard,” he said. “But, sometimes it helps. I came from there, from there, there, there, everybody screaming, everybody talking. I was a little bit shocked, I was like dizzy. Concentrate, concentrate.” There was little celebrating for the Americans after four-time U.S. champion Abbott crashed to the ice on his planned quad and popped a triple axel into a single. His 65.65 points severely damaged U.S. chances for a gold medal in the new event and he said he was “torn apart” by his performance. Favorite Kearney cruises through moguls qualifying KRASNAYA POLYANA, Russia (AP) — The flashback hit Hannah Kearney out of nowhere. That’s when the defending gold medalist in women’s moguls decided she needed to turn her brain off and just do her thing. It worked. The American’s quest for an Olympic repeat started flawlessly Thursday as she easily topped qualifying. The 27-year-old from New Hampshire posted a score of 23.05 to move into Saturday’s finals and move one step closer to bookending the gold she won in Vancouver four years ago. Canadian Chloe DufourLapointe finished second in qualifying, just ahead of younger sister Justine and older sister Maxime, who came in eighth. The trio declined interview requests to focus on the next step. Kearney initially hoped to grab gold in Turin in 2006, when she was a 19-year-old world champion entering her prime. Instead she crashed during qualifying, tumbling over one of the early bumps in the course. It nearly happened again during training earlier in the week, providing Kearney with a haunting reminder of Turin. “I thought, ‘Oh, boy, we don’t need this problem again,’” Kearney said. She needn’t have worried. Knees seemingly magnetized together as she navigated the moguls, Kearney posted the second-fastest time down the hill and highlighted it with a pair of well executed if not quite perfect jumps that allayed any concerns about the course’s safety. “I think that everywhere we go, every World Cup venue, we show up and say, ‘Oh, my god. How are we going to make it down this course? This is impossible,’” Kearney said. After some tweaking by officials, the slopes of the Caucasus Mountains looked no different than most other moguls events over the last four years, with the top-ranked Kearney looking down at the rest of the field. “The course is great,” she said. “It’s challenging but in a very positive way. It’s going to separate the weak skiers from the strong skiers, hopefully.” The top 10 skiers earned THE REA REAL DEAL! 29 2 9 $ 99 AP Photo United States’ Hannah Kearney jumps during qualifying in the women’s moguls at the Rosa Kutor Exreme Park ahead of the 2014 Winter Olympics, Thursday, Feb. 6, 2014, in Krasnaya Polyana, Russia. an automatic berth into the finals, with the remaining competitors returning for a second qualifying run on Saturday.
