Hill, 57 50 cents daily FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 28, 2014 Vol. 64, No. 34 Larry Norvell, 64 Norma Randolph, 93 Etta Mae Reese, 89 Funding for implementing Digital Works program released By Charlene Hoeflich choeflich@civitasmedia.com POMEROY — Another step forward in the goal to bring jobs to Meigs County was taken this week with the announcement from state Sen. Lou Gentile that $100,000 from the Local Government Innovation Fund has been released by the State Controlling Board for use by Meigs County in implementing a Digital Works program. Meigs Economic Development Director Perry Varnadoe, seeing the success of the program in other counties, applied for the funding last summer. With the announcement from Gentile, Varnadoe said the program can now move forward and, hopefully, be in place by summer. The next step, he said, is to set up a training center where the trainees will learn how to work in the Digital Works program, get the personnel in place to operate it, and bring in interested residents for 60 hours of training to qualify them to accept jobs. Once trained, they can then do contract jobs that are referred to them by Digital Works. Providing broadband access as a part of the Digital Works program will be available in the county by that time. “What this means is that once they complete the training, they have the opportunity and convenience to work from home,” Varnadoe said. Another plus, he said, is that once they have completed the training, they are provided jobs through Digital Works. That means they can become employed immediately. He added that the entire program will be started here without any cost to the county. In announcing the release of funding for the jobs program, Gentile said that the $100,000 will enable the Meigs County Community Improvement Corporation, the Meigs County Jobs and Family Services, and Connect Ohio to jointly implement the first Digital Works program in the county. He added that the program will “provide a feasible solution to unemployment issues in the area and the stagnant economic development in the region.” He went on to describe Digital Works as a ” sustainable job creation program bringing tech- nology-based jobs to local communities and connecting 21st century workforce opportunities to people who are eagerly seeking work.” The senator described the investment in southeast Ohio as a way of helping the people of the region “develop a more competitive workforce.” He said that “job opportunities rely heavily upon the ability to utilize technology, and Digital Works is going to provide folks with employment opportunities that may not have been available to them before.” Man charged with domestic violence following own shooting By Sarah Hawley shawley@civitasmedia.com Submitted photos Ariel Bridal Fair opens Saturday Event runs from noon to 4 p.m. GALLIPOLIS — Planning a wedding can be a monumental task, but this weekend’s Ariel Bridal Fair can help make the path smoother for prospective brides and grooms.

William Cleveland, 49, of Langsville, was arraigned Wednesday morning on a single count of domestic violence, a felony of the fourth degree. Cleveland was allegedly shot Jan. 8 by his stepfather Robert Burns at a residence on Briar Ridge Road in Langsville. The shooting followed a domestic situation at the home, according to the Meigs County Sheriff’s Department. Burns was arrested at the scene while Cleveland was flown to St. Mary’s Hospital in Huntington. Cleveland was reportedly shot in the abdomen. William Cleveland Burns was later released with no charges being filed. The case was refered to the Meigs County Prosecutor’s Office to be presented to the grand jury for consideration. A pre-trial hearing for Cleveland is set for 10:45 a.m. March 24, with a pretrial settlement conference scheduled for April 14. A jury trial is scheduled for May 15.

PSC decision on Felman ‘closer’ but not this month By Beth Sergent bsergent@civitasmedia.com NEW HAVEN — A decision on Felman Production’s proposal filed with the Public Service Commission of West Virginia won’t likely come before the end of the month, according to PSC spokesperson Susan Small. Small said Wednesday that there is no statutory deadline on this case and further described it as “difficult” in terms of working through a decision when considering legislation, as well as PSC rules. “We’re closer than we were, but it won’t be this week,” she added. The filing deadlines for briefs has passed though citizens can still continue to comment. Members of the United Steel- workers, as well as Felman Production, are anxiously awaiting the PSC’s decision. Hearings were held last December on the proposal that was filed in August 2013. At a December hearing, Commission President Rick Handley testified before the PSC to support the proposal and to relay how closing the plant would have a negative impact on county revenue and local families. At the time of his testimony, Handley said if the plant ceases operations, it could mean 155 lost jobs. Members of the United Steelworkers gathered outside the Mason County Courthouse last week to fight for those jobs and raise awareness about the forthcoming decision from the PSC. Union members greeted U.S. Sen. Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.) and asked for his support. Manchin promised to look into the situation to see what he could do. Felman idled the plant last year because of poor market conditions. Also last year, Rep. Shelley Moore Capito (R-W. Va.) testified before the International Trade Commission for Felman, asking the agency renew anti-dumping duty orders on imports of silicomanganese from other countries. As reported by the Associated Press, Felman’s proposal would tie the plant’s power rates to the costs of raw materials used in production and commodity prices. The plan caps the amount of discounts the company could receive in a given year at $9.5 million, which represents the amount of Appalachian Power’s fixed costs the company current- ly pays. When prices are low, Felman’s power discounts would be paid for by shifting costs to other ratepayers. To make up for those costs, the company said it would pay higher rates when its material costs recovered. That benefit would then be passed on to other customers in the form of a rate decrease. The company submitted its request for a 10-year special power rate under a 2010 law that was intended to help Century Aluminum restart its plant in Ravenswood. The law allows manufacturers that consume large amounts of energy to negotiate rates tied to commodity prices. Critics of the proposal include Appalachian Power, which the Associated Press reports has objected to a provi- sion that would allow Felman to carry over the $9.5 million discount from one year to the next. The utility said in testimony filed with the PSC that Felman potentially could go an entire year without paying for power, according to the AP. A spokesperson for Felman told the AP the proposal ensures Felman pays 100 percent of Appalachian Power’s variable costs, mainly for fuel and power generation, during the contract. The discounts would only apply to the $9.5 million in annual fixed cost payments. According to Felman, the bottom line for the proposal is about sustaining the plant and the jobs. At least for now, the answer to when and how the PSC will rule, will have to wait. �Page 2 s The Daily Sentinel www.mydailysentinel.com Friday, February 28, 2014 Meigs County Community Calendar Monday, March 3 SYRACUSE — Sutton Township Trustee monthly meeting at 7 p.m. at Syracuse Village Hall.

(AP) — A federal judge on Thursday signed an order directing officials in Kentucky to immediately recognize same-sex marriages performed in other states and countries. U.S. District Judge John G. Heyburn II issued a final order throwing out part of the state’s ban on gay marriages. It makes official his Feb. 12 ruling that Kentucky’s ban on samesex marriages treated “gay and lesbian persons differently in a way that demeans them.” Same-sex couples may change their names on official identifications and documents and obtain any other benefits of a married couple in Kentucky. The order doesn’t affect a related lawsuit seeking to force the state to issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples. The order came just hours after the Kentucky’s attorney general asked for a 90-day delay. The twopage filing says the delay is sought to give that office time to decide whether to appeal the Feb. 12 ruling and would give the state an opportunity to prepare to 3 (WSAZ) 4 (WTAP) 6 (WSYX) 7 (WOUB) 8 (WCHS) 11 (WVAH) 12 (WPBY) Shade River Lodge.

Heyburn’s final order did not mention the request for a stay and he had not ruled on it as of mid-afternoon Thursday. Earlier this month, Heyburn concluded that the ban, which has been in place since 2004, treated “gay and lesbian persons differently in a way that demeans them.” Dawn Elliott, an attorney for one of the couples pursuing recognition of a marriage performed in Canada, praised the ruling. “It’s a great day to be from the Commonwealth of Kentucky,” Elliott said. “I hope that the attorney general and governor that I voted for, don’t jump on the appeal bandwagon.” The order means samesex couples are allowed change their names on official identifications and documents and obtain any other benefits of married couples in Kentucky. Heyburn’s ruling doesn’t affect a related lawsuit seeking to force the state to issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples. Final briefings in the marriage license case are due to Heyburn by May 28.

(L) �The Daily Sentinel FAITH AND FAMILY Page 4 Friday, February 28, 2014 Lordship of Jesus Christ missing in church It is very concerning that the church at large these days is so very impotent as it involves making a moral difference within the milieus of politics and society. For example, society titters over the legalization of pot, and politics got it for them in two of our American states in the last election cycle. According to certain commentators, the drive for pot legalization in other states will broaden. The question I have asked openly is, “Where was the church to thwart the majority influence of the pro-pot people who carried the vote?” But, the more potent question involving the increasing status of immoral evils involves the spiritual shortfall of the church. It is found in the fact that the Lordship of Jesus Christ is missing in the church. If the Lordship of Jesus Christ loomed as large in the church as it should, the church would do better at holding the line against those Tozer — said that self-aggrandize the Lordship of Jements contrary to sus Christ is marked the will of God for by three distinctive the lives of men. points for the indiThere is abvidual Christian and solutely nothing the church.

W. made up to advocate and aver Get out of the salt shaker and flow to someone in need Have you ever wondered how you could influence people? Have you ever prayed that God would use you, or that at least your life would count for something? Sure, most people have — and most people still do. The truth is God flows through His people. It is not our own power that changes people, it’s God’s power in us. But God will not do it without us. It’s a partnership. In Matthew 5:13, Jesus said: Alex Colon “You are the salt of the earth Pastor …” Salt was used to provide good flavor, but most importantly it was used to preserve food. Salt was a great commodity to have in those days. Remember, those were the days before refrigerators and freezers. Many people spend a lifetime praying for God to move, to change other people, circumstances, situations, etc., not understanding that He is going to flow through them. God often answers our prayers with us mind. In other words, God will often use us to flow through us in order to bring the necessary change in a situation, in person, or whatever the case may be. It is not God who is failing to intervene. What He often waits for is for us to be willing vessels to cooperate with His leading and guidance. Every Christian has God living in them. Therefore, many times we are carrying around other people’s miracles. Does that shock you? It shouldn’t. Let me give you an example: Have you ever prayed for a financial breakthrough? Did you notice that when the miracle came, God did not send you the money from heaven? Did you notice that it didn’t fall from the sky? Did you see how he used another person to bless you? Likewise, you have answers to somebody else’s prayer requests. Your willingness, your desire and passion to be used by God is of great importance in this earth. God has created you to be the necessary person (the VIP) right where you are — i.e., at home, in your town, in your church, at your job, and in your country to perhaps start a movement, a business, a bible study, or whatever will impact a person, a society and a culture according to God’s design. We are God’s salt to preserve this putrefying world. Today, get out of the shaker and let the life of God which is in you flow to someone in need. You’ve got what it takes. You the one God has chosen to move through. Make it a Great Day! that expectations of God are right and true. Paul’s comparable terminology was “crucified with Christ.” Determination not to fail is measured by willingness to be crucified with Christ. Christ was determined to not to let His Father down. That is why He walked every inch of the road to Calvary, why He endured every moment of Calvary pain, and why He bled every drop of Calvary blood. Paul was agreed in his own life about that quality of determination, and exhorted us to be like-minded when he wrote, “I am crucified with Christ, nevertheless I live, yet not I, but Christ lives within me. And, the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave His life for me.” To quote a famous tooner, “Now that’s what I am talking about!” Third, they “have no other plans than those which involve the Lord’s will.” Here is the deal: the prevailing expectation of the Lord’s will is to bring Him honor and glory. How do we do that? It comes full circle to what is missing in the life of the Christian and the ministry of the Church — the acceptance and practice of the Lordship of Jesus Christ. If Jesus Christ is indeed Lord of our lives and the ministry of the Church, the Lord’s will should be extremely manifested in us and through us. According to honest evaluation, do you and I reflect purposely the Lordship of Jesus Christ in our lives? Do our churches powerfully promote the Lordship of Jesus Christ to society so steeped in sinful practices? Remember that part lordship is not lordship at all. It is not in our purview to pick and choose what His Lordship expects from us. His complete lordship will make the needful difference for ourselves and for society.

In my enthusiasm to be fruitful for Him, I sometimes strive to move on to the tasks and opportunities that I think will be most worthwhile, but find myself steered circumstantially in the opposite way. Then, when I try to “take the reins” and change my course, He reminds me that He’s the Boss. Then I strive to simply keep centered on His “will for the now” instead of my own ideas. When I do so, I find that I do not have to worry so much about getting bruised and battered or about having to “climb back up again” into His will for my life and ministry. There are also moments when I find that His leading in my life is picking up speed and, although I may at first try to rein Him in, the best thing to do is just hold on and trust Him to take me where He wants me to be. Above all, whether we are feeling like God is holding us back or is moving us too fast, we must remember that His love for us is absolutely perfect. The Bible paints on the canvas of our hearts a clear picture of God’s love for us using the vivid colors of His faithfulness throughout the history of the world. At the center of this painting is the cross upon which Jesus died. When I see there all that love has done for me, I know that His daily leadings in my life are always right and good. “Beloved, if God so loved us, we also ought to love one another. No one has ever seen God; if we love one another, God abides in us and His love is perfected in us. By this we know that we abide in Him and He in us, because He has given us His Spirit. And we have seen and testify that the Father has sent His Son to be the Savior of the world. So we have come to know and to believe the love that God has for us.” (1 John 4:11-14, 16a ESV). Search the Scripture ‘These were more noble…they searched the scriptures daily…’ The prophet Micah says, in Micah 6:8, “He has shown you, O man, what is good; and what does the Lord require of you but to do justly, to love mercy, and to walk humbly with your God? ” He says this to a people who were, in many ways, quite religious. They were offering God sacrifices, keeping the right days and going through the motions required by their religion. Yet the Scriptures make it clear that religious activity, of itself, is not enough to overcome the burden and debt created by sin. Religious activities cannot replace righteous hearts and make one pleasing to God. A multitude of sacri- fices alone cannot make a man pleasing to God. Thus Samuel’s words to Saul, “Has the Lord as great delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices, as in obeying the voice of the Lord? Behold, to obey is better than sacrifice, and to heed than the fat of rams. For rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft, and stubbornness is as iniquity and idolatry.” (1 Samuel 15:22-23) So what does God require of us. Micah provides answers for us. The Lord requires that men do justly. The word “just” is synonymous with “righteous.” To do justly requires that men live in a way that is right in the sight of God. We do this through keeping the commands of God in all aspects of our lives. “Now he who keeps His commandments abides in Him, and He in him.” (1 John 3:24a) God’s commands for men deal with two areas of our lives. The first is our interaction with God. To be righteous, we must engage in those activities which show our reverence, thanksgiving and adoration for our Creator. But God’s commands also teach us how to interact with our fellow man. If we will not treat our fellow man in a way that is proper, God will not accept our love and adoration towards Him, for, “If someone says, “I love God,” and hates his brother, he is a liar; for he who does not love his brother whom he has seen, how can he love God whom he has not seen?” (1 John 4:20). To treat our fellow man with love requires that we treat them honestly, kindly, compassionately, with generosity in both thought and deed. We should always remember that to be righteous, we must practice righteousness (cf. 1 John 3:7) The Lord requires that men love mercy. Mercy, as used by Micah, is one aspect of what it means to do justly and reflects part of the manner in which men should behave towards other men (for it is beyond the reach of men to in any way show God mercy). God demands of his followers that they be forgiving of one another. So important is this behavior, that Jesus instructed us when we pray to pray thusly: “And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors.” (Matthew 6:12) He furthermore said, “For if you forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. But if you do not forgive men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.” (Matthew 6:14) If we wish to be pleasing to God, we cannot afford to be individuals who hold grudges, but must learn to forgive others easily and often. The Lord requires that men walk humbly with God. Just as Micah expounds on what it means for men to walk in righteousness towards one another, so too does Micah further explain our duty to God within the scope of doing “justly.” As we walk in righteousness before God, we must do so with humility, remembering that “God resists the proud, but gives grace to the humble.” (James 4:6) Pride is one of the great downfalls of men, causing us to elevate ourselves beyond both our own capabilities and our own authority. To be humble before God is to remember that His wisdom is higher than ours, His standards are purer, and His authority is supreme. When our standards come into conflict with God’s, we need to adjust our own standards. When our lives fall short of God’s glory, we need to repent. When our opinions conflict with God’s word, we need to humbly submit and heed what He says. If we will not do so, we cannot be pleasing to God nor will He give us His approval. God has shown men what is good. His word reveals it to us and if we will heed His word, we can live in a way that garners his approval. More than just a weekly ritual of worship (though we should worship), God requires that we do what is right, both towards our fellow man and towards Him. If you would like to learn more of what God wants from you, we would be happy to study with you at the church of Christ, 234 Chapel Drive in Gallipolis. �Friday, February 28, 2014 www.mydailysentinel.com The Daily Sentinel s Page 5 Meigs County Church Directory Pageville Freewill Baptist Church Pastor: Floyd Ross.

Convo-Bound: Rebels top Vikings in OT, 72-70 By Bryan Walters bwalters@civitasmedia.com ROCKSPRINGS, Ohio — You reap what you sow. After a hit-and-miss regular season, the South Gallia boys basketball team harvested the fruit of its hard labor Wednesday night following a thrilling 72-70 overtime victory over Symmes Valley in a Division IV sectional final at Larry R. Morrison Gymnasium on the campus of Meigs High School. The seventh-seeded Rebels (1011) and second-seeded Vikings (148) battled through seven ties and 21 lead changes throughout the course of the contest, and neither team led by more than seven points at any point of the 36-minute affair. SGHS, however, came up with all the right answers down the stretch, as the guests sank their final eight free throw attempts and made a pair of key defensive stops over the final five minutes — allowing the Red and Gold to secure their fifth sectional championship in program history. The Rebels — who will be making their third trip to the Ohio University Convocation Center in the last four years — will face thirdseeded Portsmouth Notre Dame in a district semifinal matchup at 8 p.m. Tuesday, March 4, in Athens. PND held on to claim a 5150 overtime decision Wednesday night against Portsmouth East at Valley High School. The outcome allowed secondyear SGHS coach Larry Howell to pick up his first sectional crown and improve his career mark to 3-1 alltime in postseason games. The win was also the first for Howell over his former mentor Donald Saunders, who left South Gallia as the program’s alltime wins leader after the 2012 campaign.

Teams are selected via a vote of league coaches. Each team was accorded one automatic honorable mention selection. Rebels From Page 6 “First off, I have a tremendous amount of respect for Coach Saunders and his teams. They do things the right way, and they did a lot of things right tonight,” Howell said. “It’s kind of hard to enjoy this in some ways because we are close friends and both teams played well enough to win tonight. “Then again, we were fortunate to make a few more plays when we needed them — and that is what is so special about this victory. We never gave up and we always believed in one another. It’s nice to see — both for myself and for the kids — that hard work truly does pay off in the long run.” There were six lead changes in the opening eight minutes alone, as the Rebels jumped out to an 11-6 edge with 2:38 left in the first quarter. Symmes Valley, however, answered with an 8-2 run over the final 1:43, giving the hosts a 14-13 edge after one period of play. Both teams battled through six lead changes and three ties in the second canto, which ultimately resulted in a 22-21 Rebels run that tied the game at 35-all entering the intermission. Symmes Valley made half of its 24 field goal attempts before the break, but the hosts had also committed 12 turnovers during that span — compared to five giveaways by the Rebels. SGHS, conversely, was 12-of-30 from the floor in the opening 16 minutes of play. SVHS — which owned a 17-12 edge on the glass at halftime — also held the biggest lead of the first half after a Kurt Adams basket made it a 26-20 contest with 3:39 left in the second period. Both teams battled through five lead changes and one tie in the third quarter, but the Rebels broke away from a 41-all contest with an 8-4 spurt over the final 4:35 — giving SGHS a 49-45 edge headed into the finale. Brayden Greer capped a 7-4 run to start the fourth with a pair of free throws at the 5:19 mark, giving South Gallia the largest lead of the night at 56-49. Kurt Adams and Ryan Gibson answered with consecutive trifectas, allowing the Viking to close to within a point at 56-55 with 4:29 left in regulation. Tyler Rowe followed with a free throw at the 3:47 mark, tying the game up at 56 apiece. The Rebels retaliated with an 8-2 run, as Greer netted two freebies at the 1:38 mark for a South Gallia 64-58 advantage. Ryan Gibson followed with consecutive three-pointers over the next 25 seconds, which ultimately tied the contest at 64-all. Symmes Valley had the final possession of regulation and dribbled the clock down to 12.9 seconds before calling a timeout. The ball was inbounded to Gibson, who eventually fired a three from the top of the key. The shot caromed out and into the arms of a SGHS player as the horn sounded — forcing overtime with the score deadlocked at 64. The Vikings jumped out to a quick 67-64 edge a little over a minute into the extra session, but Greer answered with six consecutive points that allowed SGHS to turn a three-point deficit into a 70-67 lead with 34 seconds left. Gibson answered with a trifecta to knot things up again at 70all with 24 seconds remaining, but Greer netted two free throws on the ensuing possession — giving the Red and Gold a 72-70 cushion with 14.3 seconds left in overtime. Landon Hutchinson stole the ball away from SVHS on the ensuing possession, but was whistled for travelling while trying to run out the final 10 seconds of the game. Symmes Valley had 2.5 seconds left and possession of the basketball underneath its own basket. The ball was inbounded to Gibson in the right corner, who released a fade-away trifecta over the outstretched arms of two South Gallia defenders. The shot attempt went long and into the arms of South Gallia’s Ethan Swain, who held on to the rebound until the clock expired. The Rebels connected on 20of-52 shot attempts for 38 percent, including a 6-of-18 effort from three-point range for 33 percent. The guests also outrebounded the Vkings by a 33-30 overall margin and committed just 12 turnovers in the triumph. Brayden Greer led the Rebels with a game-high 32 points, which included 21 after halftime and all eight points in overtime. Landon Hutchinson was next with 13 points, followed by Devin Lucas with nine points and Joseph Ehman with eight markers. Mikey Wheeler contributed four points to the winning cause, while Ethan Spurlock, Gus Slone and Ethan Swain rounded out the scoring with two markers each. SGHS was 26-of-39 at the free throw line for 67 percent. The Vikings netted 22-of-54 floor shots for 41 percent, which included an 11-of-26 effort from behind the arc for 42 percent. The hosts also committed 18 turnovers and were 15-of-25 at the charity stripe for 60 percent. Tyler Rowe and Ryan Gibson each paced SVHS with 18 points, followed by Kurt Adams with 13 points and Jonathan Kouns with 11 markers. Dylan Malone rounded out the scoring with 10 markers. Rowe fouled out with 1:48 remaining in the fourth quarter and Malone picked up his fifth foul with 34.9 seconds left in overtime. Saunders was previously 3-0 against his old team before Wednesday, all of which came in regular season contests. Saunders — who led SGHS to sectional crowns in 2005, 2006, 2011 and 2012 —is now 0-2 in tournament games since taking over at Symmes Valley. Howell served as a varsity assistant under Saunders during the 2011 and 2012 campaigns, then took over a program that had zero letterwinners returning last winter. In getting from that point to this point, Howell was only humble and complimentary in speaking of his troops. “I cannot say enough about these kids and what kind of adversity we’ve had to go through to get to the Convo,” Howell said. “I do know that we never quit and the kids kept believing in what we were teaching them. That’s what makes this so special. “I also know that we are not done playing basketball. These kids wanted to get to the Convo, and that’s where we are headed. I’m sure we will all be looking forward to making the trip to Athens.” CLASSIFIEDS - Continued from Page A7 AUTOMOTIVE Trucks/SUVs/Vans 5 Chevy Cargo Vans 740-4462804 AUTOMOTIVE AFTER MARKET MERCHANDSE FOR SALE Miscellaneous Jet Aeration Motors repaired, new & rebuilt in stock.

By Dave Green �Page 10 s The Daily Sentinel www.mydailysentinel.com Friday, February 28, 2014 Maybe defenses do need a break from fast-paced O By Ralph D. Russo Associated Press Maybe the most refreshing take about a proposed rule change that would tap the brakes on college football’s pedal-to-themetal offenses came from Temple coach Matt Rhule. “I’m selfishly for it,” Rhule said. Rhule shares some of the safety concerns held by Arkansas’ Bret Bielema and Alabama’s Nick Saban about how hurry-up offenses increase the number of plays per game and don’t allow defenses to substitute for fatigued players. Rhule said it’s better to be out in front of a potentially dangerous situation than too late. Citing player safety, the NCAA football rules committee passed a proposal two weeks ago to prohibit teams from snapping the ball until at least 10 seconds had run off the 40-second clock, with the exception of the final two minutes of each half. Ultimately, Rhule supports the proposal because he believes it helps his team, which does not push the pace offensively the way programs such as Oregon, Auburn and Texas Tech do. He said the introduction of the 40-second clock in 2008 and the rise of up-tempo offenses have fundamentally changed college football and created an advantage defenses can’t combat. “Shouldn’t both sides be able to decide if they want to make substitutions?” he asked. Instead of turning the debate over pace of play in college football into a player-safety melodrama based on hypothetical worstcase scenarios, maybe it’s time to have an honest discussion about whether cutting defenses some slack is good for the game. Rhule was one of the 25 FBS coaches, out of 128 total surveyed by ESPN, who said they were in favor of the proposal, which still must be approved by the NCAA playing rules oversight panel that meets March 6. According to the survey released Wednesday, 93 FBS coaches (73 percent) are opposed to the pro- posal, nine are undecided and one coach declined to participate. Whether you agree with Rhule or not, there is some validity to his argument. Points per game (27 to 29.5), yards per game (371.6 to 412.5) and yards per play (5.48 to 5.75) have been steadily rising since the 40-second clock was introduced in ‘08. Before then, officials would take 12 to 15 seconds to spot the ball and declare it ready for play, allowing time for both teams to sub before the 25-second play clock started. Coaches complained that from crew to crew and conference to conference, officials were inconsistent about the time it was taking to spot the ball. The 40-second clock solved that problem, with an unintended consequence. “The pace of the game was now being turned over to the offense,” NCAA coordinator of officials Rogers Redding said. “I don’t think anybody anticipated at the time that would lead to the great proliferation of up-tempo and no-huddle offenses like we see today.” But that’s not the reason for the proposal. This is a nonchange year for NCAA rules, so alterations to the rule book can be made only to address a safety issue. However, there is no data showing hurry-up offenses put players at risk. Bielema explained his stance to reporters last week, and it didn’t seem to win over any of the dissenters. Instead, he drew the ire of the University of California by referencing Golden Bears player Ted Agu, who died after collapsing during a conditioning run Feb. 7, as evidence to support the proposal. Bielema said he’s concerned about athletes with the sickle cell trait, a genetic condition that can alter red blood cells during strenuous exercise and cause muscles to break down. Bielema said they could be put in grave danger by no-huddle offenses that don’t allow defenses to freely substitute. There is no reason to doubt Bielema’s sincerity, but when football coaches play doctor, things get messy. “Using that as an argument lacks any real medical or scientific support,” said Dr. Andrew Gregory, associate professor of orthopedics and pediatrics at Vanderbilt University. Gregory said the cases of sickle cell-related deaths in college football have been caused by what he called “heroic training,” during which players push themselves past their limits. “But those issues surround training and not the game,” he said. “You don’t see muscle breakdown during the game because you’re probably not playing enough to get in trouble.” At this point it will be surprising if the pace-of-play proposal is passed. The rules committee could even decide to withdraw the proposal before it gets to the playing rules oversight panel. The pace-of-play issue isn’t going away, but maybe the debate can become more about data than drama. Character questions on center stage at NFL combine INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Colt Lyerla came to the NFL scouting combine with more to prove than just about anyone else. Not on the field, off of it. Two months after the former Oregon tight end pleaded guilty to cocaine possession, he was answering questions in Indianapolis about why his life went astray and trying to convince league scouts that his troubled days are over. “I’d say that I’ve put myself in a position where my back’s against the wall, to a point that if I don’t do everything perfect and the right way, that I won’t be able to play football, let alone be successful in any shape or form,” Lyerla told reporters with a stone-faced expression. Convincing coaches and team officials that he’s changed may be the most important part of the draft process for Lyerla, and history shows the wrong answers could seriously damage his pro prospects. Teams routinely claim they remove college players from their draft boards for serious character flaws. It came up again after former Patriots tight end Aaron Hernandez was arrested last summer. Da’Rick Rogers showed up at last year’s combine with the size and stats scouts covet. But after admitting he was booted off the team at Tennessee because of multiple failed drug tests, Rogers wound up signing with Buffalo as an undrafted rookie, and then was cut and landed on the Colts’ practice squad before finally making an active roster. Now it’s Lyerla’s turn. While he measured in at 6-foot-4, 242 pounds and turned in an impressive time of 4.61 seconds in the 40-yard dash, Lyerla must now show he’s a different guy than the one some have branded as overly emotional and prone to outbursts. It matters to teams, which have spent lots of time and money delving into player backgrounds, so they know what they’re really getting on draft weekend. “We tended to separate the stories from the facts. I think that’s important for readers and spectators and fans to recognize — what may be a hot media story may not be an issue to the teams,” longtime NFL executive Bill Polian said. “When we found out what happened with Manti Te’o, it was no longer an issue.” This year’s biggest question marks include players who were suspended by coaches for Twitter posts, players who publicly castigated fans, drug-related suspensions, arrests, one player who punched a teammate, and one accused of helping to cover-up an alleged rape after the fact. How players and agents handle the weekend’s questions depends on the strategy — and the nature of the issue. George Atkinson, a running back who was suspended for Notre Dame’s bowl game, and Lyerla walked into the media room and responded to the more difficult questions with blunt answers. Lyerla told reporters the key to staying on track was avoiding people who could be bad influences. Atkinson said he was “stupid” for continuing a phone conversation during a team meal even after coach Brian Kelly asked him to end the call. Linebacker Max Bullough, the former Michigan State star, showed up but repeatedly refused to answer questions about his Rose Bowl suspension, choosing instead to say NFL teams already knew the answer. Former Vanderbilt receiver Chris Boyd, who was kicked off the team for his alleged role in the cover-up, didn’t show up in the media room. And after Walter Powell acknowledged teams were asking about his reported October arrest for fourth-degree assault and unlawful theft, charges that were later dropped when a grand jury failed to indict, the Murray State receiver was asked what he had learned from the situation. “I just learned to overcome adversity, and also just pick women right,” he said. The issue of drug use is becoming more complicated in light of states like Colorado and Washington legalizing marijuana and others considering or already legalizing medical marijuana.
