At 2 p.m. Monday, Meigs County Sheriff Keith Wood said the emergency had been downgraded to a Level 2. In making the decision to change the level, Wood stated: Roadways are still icy and snow covered. Conditions are still hazardous and drivers should use caution during their travels. Only those that feel it necessary to drive should be out on the roadways. Contact your employer to see if you should report to work. My office wants to thank everyone for understanding the situation. The conditions that prompted a Level 3 left our office with no choice. Ice, Sleet and Snow was a combination of serious problems that required such action to issue a Level 3. Please be safe on the roads, along with tonight’s freezing temps, roads will become very slick, and conditions will continue to be hazardous. Again thank you for your patience! Wood said there had been no major accidents or issues throughout the county during the inclement weather on Monday. AEP Ohio has listed no power outages for Meigs County throughout the day on Monday.

Katelynn Chevalier, president, left, and Taylor Chevalier, treasurer, were on hand to greet prospective members. Presenting 4-H GALLIPOLIS — A former Gallipolis attorney was sentenced in the Common Pleas Court of Gallia County this week after he pleaded guilty late last year to two counts of forgery and two counts of theft. John R. Lentes, 58, of Overland, Mo., and formerly of Crown City, was sentenced Monday to 60 months of community control and was ordered to pay thousands of dollars in restitution during a hearing before presiding Judge Leonard Holzapfel, according to an entry filed with the Gallia County Clerk of Courts. Lentes, who pleaded guilty to his four-count indictment during a hearing in November, is alleged to have forged the signature of Gallia County Common Pleas Judge D. Dean Evans between Nov. 1, 2004, and May 31, 2007, and also reportedly forged a common pleas court judgment entry between Nov. 1, 2004, and May 31, 2007. The four-count indictment also outlines two charges of theft in which the defendant is alleged to have stolen cash from six victims between Sept. 1, 2005, and Dec. 31, 2008, property valued at over $1,000, but less than $7,500; and, in a separate theft charge, the defendant reportedly stole more than $7,500, but less than $150,000, from two female victims between April 1, 2003, and Dec. 11, 2008. Lentes, who served two terms as the Meigs County Prosecuting Attorney from 1993-2001, later opened a practice in Gallipolis. He was disbarred in 2008 following a hearing before the Ohio Supreme Court after complaints were filed by a least three former clients who were represented by Lentes in civil matters between 2004 and 2007.

At a kickoff meeting Saturday at Meigs High School, the cafeteria was filled with informational displays and demonstrations on the vast variety of projects from which 4-H members, age 8 to 19, can select when they join a club. The enrollment deadline is April 1. The exhibits at the kickoff ranged from sewing and cooking to photography to the care of large and small animals. “It all depends on where the member’s interests are as to what selection they make,” said one of the advisors. 4-H offers not only project work which is exhibited for viewing at the Meigs County Fair, but an opportunity to develop life skills such as leadership, responsibility, time management and teamwork, as well as to make friends and create memories. Compassion for those less fortunate is also a part of the 4-H community service programs. At Saturday’s kickoff, those attending were invited to contribute food products or make donations to the special “food for kids” weekend programs being carried out in the Eastern and Meigs local school districts.

Here Savanna Abshire looks over the chickens while Drake Hall pets the puppy. POMEROY — A project to benefit students in Meigs County was discussed during Thursday’s Meigs County Commissioner meeting. Iva Sisson spoke with the commissioners about the “Computers for Students” program recently launched in the county. Sisson stated with the help of the Meigs County Chamber of Commerce she was able to launch the nonprofit organization. The goal of the organization is to provide comput- ers to students who do not have a computer in their home. Parental consent would be needed to place the computer in the home. The organization is currently collecting old computers (Windows XP, Vista, or 7) which will be updated to meet the needs of students. Lap top or desk top computers are being accepted. Sisson stated that the computers collected is being wiped of old information with new programs installed through the Meigs Local Schools technology department.

Ellen’s Oscar celeb selfie a landmark media moment By David Bauder Associated Press NEW YORK — Ellen DeGeneres’ celeb-studded selfie from the mostwatched Oscars telecast in a decade was a landmark social media moment at a time online conversation is boosting television viewership and vice versa.

The Oscars are generally the mostwatched TV event of the year after the Super Bowl. The ratings provide further evidence of how big event programming is a growth engine for broadcast networks, in large part because of fans watching the event and conversing with friends on tablets and smartphones. Twitter said that some 14.7 million tweets mentioning the Oscars or prominent actors and films were sent out during the Sunday night telecast.

Besides Cooper and DeGenerers, Meryl Streep, Jennifer Lawrence, Kevin Spacey, Julia Roberts, Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt also crowded into the frame. She asked viewers to help her set a retweet record, and they quickly complied. By Monday afternoon, it had been retweeted some 2.8 million times, shattering the previous record of 810,000 retweets for the photo of President Barack Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama hugging after the 2012 election. Twitter was humming at 254,644 tweets per minute after DeGeneres’ request, and the company said the crush disrupted service for 20 minutes. DeGeneres handed a Samsung device to Cooper to take the selfie. Since the Oscars host’s Twitter posts from backstage included shots from an iPhone, Samsung doesn’t seem to be her usual smartphone of choice. Samsung, however, was a big presence at the Oscars besides being a commercial sponsor. The company gave its phones to student presenters and encouraged them to tweet and post on Instagram with them. Dozens of Samsung phones, tablets and TVs were used to make a digital photo display in the backstage green room. ABC said Samsung did not pay specifically for use of the camera in DeGeneres’ selfie segment and the company wasn’t explicitly named on the air as the stunt unfolded, but it is a noticeably larger device than an iPhone. Spokeswoman Nicole Marostica said once producers decided to do the segment, it made more sense to use a Samsung product because the company was an Oscars sponsor. “They were just lucky beneficiaries of the whole thing,” Marostica said. Use of the Samsung phone “is a wonderful example of product placement,” in part because it seemed so natural, said Tim Calkins, marketing professor at the Kellogg School of Business at Northwestern University. Samsung is the worldwide leader in smartphones but trails Apple in the United States, and the company has been aggressively going after the U.S. market.

Ohio Valley endures snow, ice storm By Michael Johnson michaeljohnson@civitasmedia.com OHIO VALLEY — Residents in the tri-county area awoke Monday morning to the aftermath of a lateseason winter storm that brought a combination of rain, ice, sleet and snow, making for hazardous travel conditions. It also brought unseasonably cold temperatures more typical of January. Meigs County was completely shut down Monday because of a Level 3 snow emergency, while Gallia County was under a Level 2 for most of the day. Joe Merchant, meteorologist with the National Weather Service office in Charleston, W.Va., said the latest blast of wintry weather was a combination of two systems. “This was the storm that plowed through California (earlier in the week),” he said. “It was a strong system that came from the Pacific and interacted with a really cold air mass dipping down from Canada. That trough of cold air combined with moisture from the system in California to give us a powerful system.” In Gallia and Mason counties, Merchant said between 3-5 inches of snow fell on top of about one15th of an inch of ice, while Meigs County received about 2-3 inches of snow on top of about one-10th of an inch of ice. Original NWS predictions had called for between one-quarter to one-half of an inch of ice, Merchant said. From a power supply standpoint, that was good news for AEP crews who were on standby all night and into Monday morning ready to respond to downed power lines caused by thick ice. “We didn’t receive all the ice that was predicted, so that was a plus in any restoration effort,” Terri Flora, spokesperson for AEP, said. “Obviously, we were prepared at the southern part of our service territory because that was where ice was mostly predicted. We were pleased (the ice wasn’t as bad as predicted).” “Anything more than a half inch (of ice) is almost crippling,” Merchant said. “That’s when things start to go downhill quickly.” Early Monday morning, the Ohio Department of Transportation District 10, Michael Johnson | Daily Sentinel Andrew Cook, of Gallipolis, shovels snow away from his vehicle on Grape Street late Monday morning. Ice and snow pelted the Ohio Valley late Sunday night and into early Monday morning. which includes Gallia and Meigs counties, had more than 100 plows out in full force clearing off shoulders and ensuring hills, curves and overpasses were properly treated, according to David V. Rose, District 10 public information officer. Merchant said the weather could have been much worse. He said the storm took a more southerly track that enabled Gallia, Meigs and Mason counties to avoid the brunt of the winter storm. “We had some warm air aloft that nosed down a lit- tle farther to the north than what was being (forecast) earlier in the process,” he said. “The track itself ended up moving farther south as it was approaching the Ohio Valley and shifted that energy into the southern coal fields of West Virginia.” Merchant said the original NWS forecast called for more snow and ice for the Ohio and Kanawha valleys. “These things change for us all the time,” he said. “When it took the track to the south, it brought southeastern Ohio’s snow totals down.” $2M settlement reached in Ohio caged kids case TOLEDO, Ohio (AP) — Eleven children forced to sleep in cages by their adoptive parents reached a $2 million settlement with an Ohio county where three of them lived before they were placed in the home outfitted with wire and wood enclosures. The agreement, which still needs a judge’s approval, likely will bring a close to the series of lawsuits and financial settlements that came after the children were taken out of the home in 2005. The adopted and foster children ranged in age from 1 to 14 when authorities removed them from their home near Norwalk. Their adoptive parents, Michael and Sharen Gravelle, spent two years in prison for abus- ing some of the children. The Gravelles, who said they used the cages at their northern Ohio home to protect children they said acted up and were destructive, lost custody in 2006. All 11 of the children were placed with foster parents. The oldest two are in college and have used the money from earlier settlements to pay for tuition, said Jack Landskroner, an attorney for the children. The rest are doing well, Landskroner said, though some scars remain. The children were wrongly portrayed as troubled during the trial of the Gravelles, he said. “These kids were good kids,” Landskroner said. “It’s amazing the positive results you see on children who are placed in a loving, caring home.” The settlements, he said, will allow them to move forward now. There have been seven public and private financial settlements with counties and agencies that had a role in placing the children in the home and some of the professionals who were charged with their placement and overseeing their care. The latest and final settlement was agreed upon last week when officials in Stark County, where three siblings lived before being placed with Gravelles, signed off on the $2 million payout, Landskroner said. Weather From Page 1 The snow resulted in the closure of schools, businesses and county offices for much of the day on Monday. As of press time Monday evening, Meigs Local, Southern Local, Eastern Local, Mid Valley Christian School and Carleton School Meigs Industries were each on a two-hour delay for Tuesday. Rumpke trash and recycling services are also delayed a day for the remainder of the week as service did not occur on Monday. This includes both Meigs and Gallia counties. Holzer Meigs Branch was also closed on Monday. A statement relased Monday afternoon by Holzer states: On Tuesday, March 4, Holzer Meigs, Holzer Liberty Circle, Holzer Lawrence County, and Holzer Sycamore A (Family Practice and Chiropractic Care) in Ohio and Holzer Point Pleasant in West Virginia will open at 9:30 a.m. Holzer South Charleston in West Virginia will open at 10 a.m. Holzer Sycamore B in Gallipolis (Therapy Services and Sleep Lab) and all other Holzer locations including Holzer’s main facility in Gallipolis, Holzer Jackson, Holzer Athens, and Holzer Center for Cancer Care and Cardiovascular Institute will conduct business as usual and open at normal service hours. Holzer will continue to keep Prosecutor From Page 1 After an investigation, the state Supreme Sourt’s Board of Grievances and Discipline found that Lentes had been “dishonest, negligent and incompetent” in his representation of his clients. In 2010, Lentes was arraigned in the Common Pleas Court of Gallia County and charged with one count of theft after he had allegedly stolen $9,760 in insurance money from a woman between December 2007 and January 2009. A plea hearing was later held in this case and, after an inconsistency in the indictment and proposed written plea agreement was discovered, the defendant withdrew his proposed guilty plea. The state also later indicted its desire to dismiss the charge and reindict the defendant at a later date. Then-presiding Judge Fred W. Crow III, who was assigned to the case after Evans recused himself, later overruled the state’s motion to dismiss the case. After an impending jury trial was continued several times, Kowalski again requested the court dismiss the case in April 2011. This second request, however, was based upon the fact that the victim would lack the ability to testify due to medical reasons. The entry reads, “Based on her inability to testify, the state does not have suf- patients and the community informed as the weather situation evolves. If you have questions about the availability of services, please call 1-855-4HOLZER (1855-446-5937) The Daily Sentinel will provide updates to closings, delays and cancellations on mydailysentinel.com and The Daily Sentinel’s Facebook page. Computers ficient evidence to proceed. Additionally, the state is aware of other incidents in which the defendant was involved in and is preparing to go to grand jury based on those events.” Crow again denied the state’s motion for dismissal, but Crow later withdrew as trial judge due to medical reasons in an entry dated May 3, 2011. The Ohio Supreme Court later assigned Paul Randall Knece, judge of the Pickaway County Court of Common Pleas, to Lentes’ case and, in a final entry filed in November 2011, Knece granted the state’s request to dismiss the case without prejudice. A new indictment was filed against Lentes on Aug. 21, 2012, and signed by assistant Ohio attorney generals Marianne Hemmeter and Jennifer Brumby, who represented the state. A summons was later filed for Lentes’ appearance. The defendant however, who was then living in Chesterfield, Mo., failed to appear for the scheduled arraignment on Oct. 26, 2012, and a warrant was issued for his arrest. Lentes was subsequently arrested on the warrant in St. Louis County, Mo., on June 26, 2013. He was later transported on July 3 by a Gallia County sheriff’s deputy back to Gallia County to face the charges of the new indictment. He subsequently appeared for an ar- raignment hearing with his retained counsel, Chuck Knight, and pleaded not guilty to two counts of forgery, both felonies of the fifth degree, one count of theft, a fifth-degree felony, and one count of grand theft, a felony of the fourth degree. Lentes later posted a $1,000 bond for his own release from the Gallia County Jail. During a plea hearing Nov. 20, Lentes pleaded guilty to all four counts of his indictment. A pre-sentence investigation was ordered to be completed by the Adult Probation Department. During Monday’s hearing that was continued from an earlier scheduled hearing in January, the defendant was sentenced to five years probation. He was further ordered to pay restitution to the victims. According to the judgment entry, the defendant was ordered to pay $62,000 to the first victim in this case, $75,000 to the Ohio Supreme Court’s Client Security Fund, $500 to the second victim, and $750 and $400, respectively, to the remaining four victims as listed in the entry. He was further ordered to pay $50 a month to the clerk of court for probation services and will be subject to the supervision of the Adult Probation Department while on community control.

The chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee had toiled for years to prepare the first rewrite of American tax laws in more than a quartercentury. Now in his last year with the gavel, he was finally ready to unveil his 1,000page plan. But when the earnest lawmaker announced his proposal at a news conference in a Capitol TV studio Wednesday, Camp had nobody at his side. Democrats had abandoned his effort last year. The Senate Republican leader, Mitch McConnell, had pronounced Camp’s proposal dead. And House Speaker John Boehner, asked about the details, responded: “Blah, blah, blah, blah.” Asked a follow-up about the likelihood of a vote on the proposal, Boehner replied, “Ah, Jesus.” Even Jesus, it would seem, could not pass tax reform this year. Democrats and Republicans agree that such a rewrite is long overdue, but last week made it obvious: Congress may have the ways and the means to get it done, but it lacks the heart and the guts. I pity Camp, a soft-spoken Michigan Republican who labored for this worthy cause even as he battled cancer. At Camp’s news conference, the first questioner, The Associated Press’ Stephen Ohlemacher, noted the McConnell and Boehner remarks and asked: “Do you feel like you’re being undercut?” “No, I don’t,” said Camp, who, if he had been undercut any deeper, wouldn’t have been visible above the lectern. The saddest part is it probably didn’t have to be this way. There is bipartisan appetite for something very much like what Camp proposed — coupling lower tax rates with an end to tax loopholes and giveaways to the well-connected, all without reducing the progressivity of the tax code. Unfortunately, the chairman, for all his admirable policy work, deserves some of the blame for the failure to make it happen by allowing politics to consume his committee and to dictate the timing of his tax plan. At the start of 2013, Camp divided his committee into bipartisan working groups, and lawmakers discovered an encouraging amount of agreement on tax reform. Camp scheduled a series of town hall meetings for the summer with his Democratic counterpart in the Senate, Max Baucus. But beginning in the spring, the IRS targeting flap exploded, followed by the trouble with the Obamacare rollout — and the agenda of the committee shifted dramatically. The Ways and Means hearing calendar since May tells the story: Three on the IRS targeting, three on Obamacare, and one each on trade and multinational corporations. Subcommittees joined the rush to probe the administration. Lost, for the most part, was tax reform. Committee Republicans say this didn’t slow the development of the bill (that was being done by different staff) but it embittered the Democratic minority. In July, Democrats on the panel met with Camp and said they’d like to draft tax legislation with him. But they were told that any agreement could not include additional tax revenue and would have to include a top The Daily Sentinel Reader Services Correction Policy Our main concern in all stories is to be accurate.

In hindsight, his insistence on the 25 percent rate was needless because the plan he eventually proposed includes a 35 percent “surcharge” rate. Camp had planned to move the tax bill through his committee in the fall but again, politics intervened. This time, the problems with HealthCare.gov were causing trouble for Obama and the Democrats, and Republican House leaders didn’t want anything to distract from that story. Camp relented, Republicans exploited the Obamacare troubles, and hope for new tax laws died. By the time Camp finally released his proposal, it was too late. House GOP leaders declined to endorse the plan, or to commit to a vote. “We are going to continue to have conversations,” was all Boehner would promise. The speaker last year had reserved the title of “H.R. 1” for tax-reform legislation, but Camp’s bill reportedly won’t be granted that symbolic honor, and it’s not even clear that his own committee will approve it. The best Camp can hope for now is that he’ll be granted a waiver to extend his chairmanship into next year, when the post-election atmosphere might be friendlier to his proposal. Or perhaps he’ll watch as his successor, likely either Paul Ryan or Kevin Brady, picks up the pieces. Tax reform might have failed over the last year even if Camp hadn’t allowed his beloved proposal to be subordinated to his colleagues’ desires to embarrass the Obama administration. But at least it would have had a chance. By Eugene Robinson The Washington Post WASHINGTON — Let’s be real. It’s one thing to say that Russia’s takeover of the Crimean Peninsula “cannot be allowed to stand,” as many foreign policy sages have proclaimed. It’s quite another to do something about it. Is it just me, or does the rhetoric about the crisis in Ukraine sound as if all of Washington is suffering from amnesia? We’re supposed to be shocked — shocked! — that a great military power would cook up a pretext to invade a smaller, weaker nation? I’m sorry, but has everyone forgotten the unfortunate events in Iraq a few years ago? My sentiments, to be clear, are with the legitimate Ukrainian government, not with the neo-imperialist regime in Russia. But the United States, frankly, has limited standing to insist on absolute respect for the territorial integrity of sovereign states. Before Iraq there was Afghanistan, there was the Gulf War, there was Panama, there was Grenada. And even as we condemn Moscow for its outrageous aggression, we reserve the right to fire deadly missiles into Pakistan, Yemen, Somalia and who knows where else. None of this gives Russian President Vladimir Putin the right to pluck Crimea from the rest of Ukraine and effectively reincorporate the historic peninsula into the Russian empire. But it’s hard to base U.S. objections on principle — even if Putin’s claim that Russian nationals in Crimea were somehow being threatened turn out to be as hollow as the Bush administration’s claim that Saddam Hussein had weapons of mass destruction. The Obama administration has been clear in its condemnation of Putin’s operation. Critics who blame the Russian action on “weak” or “feckless” U.S. foreign policy are being either cynical or clueless. It is meaningless to rattle sabers if the whole world knows you have no intention of using them. There is no credible military threat by the United States that could conceivably force Putin to surrender Crimea if he doesn’t want to. Russia is much diminished from the Soviet era but remains a superpower whose nuclear arsenal poses an existential threat to any adversary. There are only a few nations that cannot be coerced by, say, the sudden appearance of a U.S. aircraft carrier group Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

If the goal is to persuade Russia to give Crimea back — which may or may not be possible — the first necessary step is to try to understand why Putin grabbed it in the first place. When Ukraine emerged as a sovereign state from the breakup of the Soviet Union, it was agreed that the Russian navy would retain its bases on the Crimean Peninsula. After Viktor Yanukovych, Ukraine’s pro-Russian president, was deposed by a “people power” revolution, it was perhaps inevitable that Putin would believe the status of those bases was in question, if not under threat. The new government in Kiev could offer formal reassurances about the Russian naval base in Sevastopol. More broadly, however, Putin may have decided that allowing Ukraine to escape Moscow’s orbit was too much to swallow. Seizing Crimea does more than secure a warm-water port for Russian ships. It implies the threat of further territorial incursions — unless the new government becomes more accommodating to its powerful neighbor. This is not fair to Ukraine. But I don’t believe it helps the Ukrainians to pretend that there’s a way to make Putin surrender Crimea if he wants to keep it. The question is whether there is any way to tip the balance of Putin’s cost-benefit analysis. The Russian leader has nothing to fear from the U.N. Security Council, since Russia can veto any proposed action. Kicking Russia out of the G-8 group of leading industrialized nations would be a blow to Moscow’s prestige, but probably would not cause Putin to lose much sleep. Economic sanctions are more easily threatened than actually applied. The European Union depends on Russia for much of its natural gas — a fact that gives Putin considerable leverage. In a broader sense, there is zero enthusiasm in Europe for a reprise of the Cold War. Putin knows this. If Putin really has lost touch with reality, as German Chancellor Angela Merkel reportedly speculated in a conversation with President Obama, then all bets are off. But if Putin is being smart, he will offer a solution: Russia gets sole or joint possession of Crimea. Ukraine and the other former Soviet republics remember that Moscow is watching, and we all settle down. Sadly for Ukraine, but realistically, that may be a deal the world decides to accept.

Another storm hits much of US By Brett Zongker Associated Press WASHINGTON — Winter kept its icy hold on much of the country Monday, with snow falling and temperatures dropping as schools and offices closed and people from the South and Mid-Atlantic to Northeast reluctantly waited out another storm indoors. Four to 8 inches of snow were forecast from Baltimore to Washington — lower than earlier predictions but enough to cause headaches for the region. Russ Watters, 60, of St. Louis, was walking through the National Air and Space Museum with his 14-year-old son, Seth, who was touring Washington with his 8th-grade class. “We’re trying to find stuff that’s open, so this is open. We had to cancel our trip to Arlington Cemetery. That was closed down this morning. We were going to go to Mount Vernon,” Watters said. Pennsylvania dodged most of the effects of the snowfall to its south as only a few inches fell — and just a trace or even none in some areas. In New Jersey nearly 6 inches has fallen in some areas, with up to 8 forecast. That could make it the eighth snowiest winter in the last 120 years. In parts of Delaware 4 to 8 inches are forecast, down from predictions of 10 or more inches. The governor there has lifted a state of emergency and driving warning for northern part of the state but urged motorists to still exercise caution. Snow covered a thin layer of ice in the nation’s capital Monday, driven by a blustery wind that stung the faces of those who ventured outside. Officials still warned people to stay off treacherous, icy roads — a refrain that has become familiar to residents in the Midwest, East and even Deep South this year. The governors of Virginia and Tennessee each declared a state of emergency as snow and ice threatened to make a mess of roads. Virginia State Police troopers responded to more than 300 traffic crashes across the state between 12:00 a.m. and 10:30 a.m. Monday, with about half occurring in the Richmond area. In northern Virginia, the Jukebox Diner in Manassas opened up at its regular 6 a.m. time, but not a single customer had come in by 8:15, waitress Irene Auiler said. “I had to drive in to open, and the worst thing was the windshield keep freezing over,” Auiler said. Retired restaurant dishwasher Betty Wolfe, 65, gripped the leash tightly as she walked her dog, Maggie, through ankle-deep snow in downtown Hagerstown, Md. “She loves the snow. She loves to run in it,” Wolfe said. Wolfe was dressed for winter but not enjoying the frigid wind. She said she would forgo her daily trek to visit her husband in a nursing home nearly a mile away because she’s already fallen twice this winter. More than 2,600 flights in the United States were canceled as of Monday afternoon, according to flight tracking site FlightAware.com. The bulk of the problems were at airports in Washington, New York and Philadelphia, but “flight cancellations are stacking up all the way from the DC area on up to New England,” said Daniel Baker of FlightAware. In Texas, hundreds of flights were cancelled, officials called for energy conservation measures, and interstates were turned into parking lots extending for miles. North Texas took the brunt of the latest storm but freezing temperatures extended into the central part of the state. Parts of eastern Kentucky remained under a winter storm warning until late Monday afternoon, with additional snowfall and temperatures below freezing that could bring the total to 6 inches in some areas. On the Eastern Shore of Virginia, NASA’s Wallops Flight Facility closed for the day. The southern parts of the state could see 2 inches to 4 inches of snow, with 8 to 10 inches forecast in in northern Virginia. Richmond was expected to get as many as 7 inches of snow. Parts of West Virginia could get up to 10 inches of snow. That sent residents on a hunt for food, water and supplies as state offices closed. “I’m sick of the snow,” David Mines of Charleston said as he stopped at a convenience store. “I’ve been in this state for 14 years, and I think this is the worst winter we’ve had.” Roads outside Charleston were a bit dicey, said Janie Pierce of St. Albans, W.Va., who stopped at a McDonalds for coffee. But she was not too concerned about the weather. “We’re West Virginians. It’s going to take more than this to keep us at home,” she said.

Steve McQueen’s slavery odyssey, based on Solomon Northup’s 1853 memoir, has been hailed as a landmark corrective to the movie industry’s virtual blindness to slavery, instead creating whiter tales like 1940 best-picture winner “Gone With the Wind.” ”12 Years a Slave” is the first best-picture winner directed by a black filmmaker. “Everyone deserves not just to survive, but to live,” said McQueen, who dedicated the honor to those, past and present, who have endured slavery. “This is the most important legacy of Solomon Northup.” The normally reserved McQueen promptly bounced up and down on stage, later matter-of-factly explaining his joy physically took over: “So, Van Halen. Jump.” A year after celebrating Ben Affleck’s “Argo” over Steven Spielberg’s “Lincoln,” the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences opted for stark realism over more plainly entertaining candidates: the 3-D space marvel “Gravity” and the starry 1970s caper “American Hustle.” Those two films came in as the leading nominee getters. David O. Russell’s “American Hustle” went home emptyhanded, but “Gravity” triumphed as the night’s top award-winner. Cleaning up in technical categories like cinematography and visual effects, it earned seven Oscars including best director for Alfonso Cuaron. The Mexican filmmaker is the category’s first Latino winner. But history belonged to “12 Years a Slave,” a modestly budgeted drama produced by Brad Pitt’s production company, Plan B, that has made $50 million worldwide — a far cry from the more than $700 million “Gravity” has hauled in. Ellen DeGeneres, in a nimble second stint as host that seemed designed as an antidote to the crude humor of Seth MacFarlane last year, summarized the academy’s options in her opening monologue: “Possibility number one: ‘12 Years a Slave’ wins best picture. Possibility number two: You’re all racists.” DeGeneres presided over a smooth if safe ceremony, punctuated by politics, pizza and photo-bombing. Freely circulating in the crowd, she had pizza delivered, appealing to Harvey Weinstein to pitch in, and gathered stars to snap a selfie she hoped would be a record-setter on Twitter. (It was: Long before midnight, the photo had been retweeted more than 2 million times and momentarily crashed Twitter.) One participant, Meryl Streep, giddily exclaimed: “I’ve never tweeted before!” TUESDAY EVENING BROADCAST 3 (WSAZ) 4 (WTAP) 6 (WSYX) 7 (WOUB) 8 (WCHS) 10 (WBNS) 11 (WVAH) 12 (WPBY) 13 (WOWK) CABLE 6 PM 6:30 WSAZ News NBC Nightly 3 News WTAP News NBC Nightly at Six News ABC 6 News ABC World at 6 News (5:30) Ethan Bortnick Live in Concert: The Power of Music Eyewitness ABC World News at 6 News 10TV News CBS Evening at 6 p.m. News The Big Bang Two and a Theory Half Men BBC World Legislature News: Today America 13 News at CBS Evening 6:00 p.m. News 6 PM 6:30 TUESDAY, MARCH 4 7 PM 7:30 Wheel of Jeopardy!

TVMA �The Daily Sentinel SPORTS TUESDAY, MARCH 4, 2014 mdssports@civitasmedia.com Three Ohio grapplers end season at state By Bryan Walters bwalters@civitasmedia.com COLUMBUS, Ohio — If nothing else, all three will have a chance for redemption. A trio of underclassmen had their respective 2014 seasons come to a close this weekend at the Division II OHSAA Wrestling Championships held at the Jerome Schottenstein Center on the campus of the Ohio State University in Franklin County. Both Gallia Academy and Meigs were represented at the 77th annual event, but only the Blue Devils had a grappler make it through to Saturday’s podium round. Each program also had one wrestler eliminated after two matches on the first day. The one grappler that made it past Thursday’s opening round was GAHS junior Cole Tawney, who ultimately finished eighth with a 2-3 overall mark in the 126-pound weight class. Tawney — who finished fifth a year ago in the 120 division — became the first Blue Devil to earn two podium finishes in a career, and his five points also allowed Gallia Academy to extend its scoring streak at the state tournament to five straight postseasons. Tawney won his opening round match Thursday over Chandler Minnard of Bloom Carroll by a 7-4 decision, but followed with a 10-6 setback to eventual state champion Anthony Tutolo of Mentor Lake Catholic. Tawney followed with a 16-4 major decision over Vince Zitello of Bay Village to secure a spot on the podium. Tawney dropped a 5-2 decision to Eli Seipel of St. Paris Graham, who ultimately finished third in the 126 bracket. Tawney lost a rematch with Minnard in the seventh-place contest, as Minnard scored a 7-4 decision. Tawney — a three-time SEOAL champion — finishes the year with 55-5 overall record and is now 6-5 alltime at the state tournament. Jared Stevens went 0-2 overall in the 106-pound category while becoming the first GAHS freshman to compete at the state level. Stevens was pinned by both eventual runner-up Tony DeCesare of Parma Padua Franciscan and eighth-place finisher Charlie Nash of Norwalk. Stevens — who won an SEOAL title this winter — finished the year with a 41-8 overall mark. The Blue Devils finished the weekend in a three-way tie for 60th place, joining Buckeye Valley and Ravenna with five points apiece. A total of 87 schools scored at least one point at the D-2 meet. The Marauders did not score at the state tournament, as junior Daylen Neece went 0-2 in the 220-pound weight class on Thursday night. Neece suffered a pair of pinfall losses to Harrison Hoppel of Minerva and Kordell Chaney of Sandusky Perkins. Neece — a TVC runner-up this winter — finished the season with a 31-13 overall mark. St. Paris Graham came away with the D-2 team title with 185.5 points, followed by runnerup Uhrichsville Claymont with 137.5 points. Toledo Central Catholic (95), Perry (74) and Akron St. Vincent-St. Mary (62) rounded out the top five spots.

Defenders drop Emmanuel Christian, 37-31 By Alex Hawley ahawley@civitasmedia.com CIRCLEVILLE, Ohio — It’s always a plus to end the season on a win. The Ohio Valley Christian boys basketball team earned a 37-31 victory over Emmanuel Christian on Saturday afternoon to earn third place in the OCSAA tournament and cap off a 15-11 season. OVCS held the Warriors to just four points over the opening eight minutes and claimed the seven point lead. The Toledo natives connected on a trio of three-pointers in the second period as they trimmed the deficit to 1614 at halftime. The Defenders were able to double their lead in the slow paced third quarter and held a 22-18 advantage headed into the finale. Ohio Valley Christian made 17 trips to the free throw line in the fourth period, connecting on nine of the attempts to help secure the 37-31 triumph. T.G. Miller led the Blue and Gold with 10 points, followed by Elijah McDonald and Austin Ragan with six apiece. Evan Bowman had five points, Marshall Hood added four, while Phil Hollingshead, Dillon Ragan and Danny Ballantyne each finished with two points in the win. The Defenders shot 11of-33 (33 percent) from the field, 4-of-15 (27 percent) from three point range and 11-of-23 (48 percent) from the free throw line. The Warriors were led by Jordan Farley with 12 points, Aaron Scheiderer with six and the duo of Adam Regnier and Phillip Parmelee with five apiece. Nate Creech rounded out the ECS scoring with three points on the night. Emmanuel Christian shot 12-of-34 (35 percent) from the field, 5-of-11 (45 percent) from beyond the arc and 2-of-6 (33 percent) from the free throw line. This marks the final game for OVCS seniors T.G. Miller, Danny Reed and Logan Edmonds, as well as ECS seniors Phillip Parmelee, William Higgins and Nate Creech. The OCSAA state championship was won by Cincinnati’s Miami Valley Christian Academy, which defeated North Eaton’s Christian Community School, Saturday night.

The Ohio Valley Christian girls basketball team led by double-digits at halftime of Saturday morning’s OCSAA consolation game at Ohio Christian University, and the Lady Defenders held off the Thunder for the 38-34 triumph. The Lady Defenders stormed to a 12-3 lead at the end of the opening period, sparked by a pair of three-pointers from Emily Carman. Monclova Christian two trifctas of its own in the second quarter but OVCS marked 10 points in the second and led 22-11 at the midway point. Following the break MCS went on a bit of a run, outscoring Ohio Valley Christian 8-to-7 in the third quarter and trimming the Lady Defender lead to 10 points with eight minutes to play. The Thunder rallied back with 15 fourth quarter points but the Blue and Gold of OVCS marked nine in the period to secure the 38-34 victory. Emily Carman led the Lady Defenders with 26 points including a quintet of three-pointers. Bekah Sargent had eight points, while Rachel Sargent and Cassandra Hutchinson each marked two in the win. OVCS was just 3-of-17 from the free throw line for 17.6 percent. Rachel Keiser led the Thunder with 24 points, 18 of which came on six trifectas. Gretchen Bersinger marked five points, Marta Huffaker added three and Kenzie Simon rounded out the MCS total with two points. Monclova Christian shot 8-of-18 from the free throw line for 44.4 percent. Ohio Valley Christian junior Emily Carman slips past a CCA defender during the OCSAA state semifinal on Friday in Circleville. This marks the final game for OVCS senior Sarah Schoonover, as well as MCS seniors Danna Gomez and Gretchen Bersinger.

Lots left to play for in Big 12 regular season By Luke Meredith Associated Press The only certainties about the Big 12 are that Kansas will finish in first place and TCU will be last. For everyone else, the final week of the regular season represents a chance to either improve their postseason positioning or win over the NCAA tournament selection committee. Iowa State, Oklahoma, Texas and Kansas State were tied for second place at 10-6 after the weekend’s games with the Big 12 tournament set to begin on March 12. Baylor and Oklahoma State sit squarely on the at-large bubble, and even West Virginia has an outside shot at an NCAA tournament bid if it can get hot. With so much on the line, the last week of the Big 12 play could also be the most competitive one. “Every team has two games left. None of them are easy,” Iowa State coach Fred Hoiberg said. “It’s going to go right down to the wire.” In theory, there doesn’t seem to be much of a difference between the second and fifth seeds for the upcoming league tournament. The four teams currently stuck in a second-place logjam will likely get first-round byes and play a NCAA tournament-quality team in the quarterfinals no matter where they’re seeded. But the No. 2 and No. 3 seeds would avoid a potential matchup with Kansas until the championship game. Oklahoma (21-8) and Kansas State (20-9) held those tiebreakers for the second and third spots on Monday, and the Sooners appeared to be in the best position to keep it. Oklahoma hosts West Virginia (16-13, 8-8) on Wednesday night and closes at TCU (9-19, 0-16) on Saturday. Should the Sooners win out, they’ll clinch the No. 2 seed and perhaps push Lon Kruger’s bid to become the Big 12 Coach of the Year over the top. “He’s done a great job with these guys,” Kansas coach Bill Self said of Kruger. “It’s not a surprise that they’re 10-6 in our league. But I think to most people from the outside looking in, if you told people before the season that this is where they’d be I think everybody would agree that Lon and his staff have done a terrific job.” The Longhorns (21-8) are in good shape, too, since they host TCU and finish at Texas Tech (13-16, 5-11). The path isn’t nearly as easy for Iowa State or Kansas State. The Cyclones (22-6), who on Monday ranked last among the secondplace teams because of tiebreakers, get Baylor (19-10, 7-9) on the road and Oklahoma State (19-10, 7-9) at home on Saturday. K-State has the opposite schedule, with Oklahoma State on the road on Monday followed by Baylor at home. To the Bears and Cowboys, a win over the Cyclones or Wildcats would be a huge boost to their NCAA tournament hopes. Oklahoma State had won three in a row since Marcus Smart returned from his suspension, a stretch that included a 72-65 win over Kansas on Saturday. Baylor has won five of its last six after a brutal start to Big 12 play. “How we’ve approached the last six games has been…we gave ourselves a chance to win. And as long as we’re playing, we control our own destiny,” Baylor coach Scott Drew. Though West Virginia is a somewhat surprising .500 in the league, it’s a long way from NCAA tournament consideration. But the Mountaineers play Oklahoma and host Kansas, and if they sweep those teams they could move into position to an at-large bid. Such a scenario might sound implausible. But the depth and quality of the Big 12, along the huge implications of these final games, figures to make for an interesting end to an entertaining regular season. “It’s a grind because of how good the Big 12 is. It’s made every game such a battle that it’s made it more difficult. But that’s a good thing,” Kruger said. �Tuesday, March 4, 2014 The Daily Sentinel s Page 7 www.mydailysentinel.com PROBATE COURT OF MEIGS COUNTY, OHIO L.

Kevin Harvick wins second straight at Phoenix AVONDALE, Ariz. (AP) — Kevin Harvick had a nice send-off with Richard Childress Racing, winning his penultimate race with the team at Phoenix International Raceway. Back at Phoenix four months later, he stamped his arrival at Stewart-Haas Racing by winning the second race with his new team — doing it on the same weekend he celebrated his 13th wedding anniversary, no less. Yeah, Harvick kind of likes it here in the desert. Disappointed at the Daytona 500 after a last-lap crash, Harvick bounced back quickly by charging to the front and dominating the rest of the way Sunday to win consecutive races at PIR with different teams. “Man, this is awesome,” Harvick said. Harvick won the fall race after Carl Edwards ran out of fuel at the white flag. He needed no help Sunday. Harvick had the fastest car in practice and kept it rolling in the race, charging to the front after starting 13th and pretty much staying there. He led 224 of 312 laps on the odd-shaped mile oval and pulled away on several late restarts for his fifth NASCAR Sprint Cup victory at PIR, passing Jimmie Johnson for the most at the track. Not bad for someone who’s still trying to feel his way around with a new team and new crew chief Rodney Childers. “It took long enough,” SHR coowner Gene Haas joked. “This phenomenal. I think there was a lot of skepticism last year about what myself and Tony (Stewart) what we were up to, was there a lot of madness to this. Quite frankly, it’s a great team, there’s a lot of synergy at the shop, people working together. I don’t know what we did, but I think we put together a great organization.” Daytona 500 winner Dale Earnhardt Jr. finished second, pole sitter Brad Keselowski was third and Penske Racing teammate Joey Logano fourth. Jeff Gordon rounded out the top five on a warm and partly cloudy day after downpours wiped out the final 32 laps of Saturday’s Nationwide race, won by Kyle Busch Harvick won at Phoenix during the Chase for the Sprint Cup championship in the fall, giving him an outside shot at catching Johnson for the series title in his fi- David Santiago | El Nuevo Herald | MCT NASCAR driver Kevin Harvick laugh as he prepares to answer a question during a news conference at Homestead-Miami Speedway in Homestead, Fla., Thursday, Nov. 14, 2013. nal season with Richard Childress Racing. He came up short, but the victory and a third-place finish in the standings gave him a bit of momentum heading into for his first season with Stewart-Haas. Harvick had a solid finish in his sights at Daytona last week before a last-lap crash dropped him to 13th. At Phoenix, Harvick just missed the final stage of knockout qualifying, nipped by 0.001 seconds, but had the fastest car in Saturday morning’s final practice session. He had no trouble making his way through the field after the green flag dropped in the race, passing Keselowski on the apron, then Logano for the lead on lap 74. Harvick maintained the lead coming out of green-flag pit stops with just under 200 laps left and again with about 70 laps left. A series of cautions came out late in the race and Harvick easily pulled away each time to earn a quick win with SHR a nice capper to his anniversary weekend with wife DeLana. “I’m just the lucky guy who gets to drive around the race track when they have dialed in like they did today,” Harvick said. “We were able to put it altogether.” Earnhardt had a whirlwind week after winning his second Daytona 500, needing his girlfriend to get him extra clothes while he went on a media tour. He had a solid follow-up, putting the distractions aside to qualify fifth. Earnhardt worked his way up in the opening third of the race, passing Logano and Keselowski to pull up behind Harvick. He dropped back a couple times and fought back to get Harvick within his sights again, but didn’t have enough to track him down. “I’ve got to congratulate Kevin. Those guys were two-tenths faster than everyone all weekend in practice. They were just phenomenal,” Earnhardt said. “To be able to run with them all day was a big confidence builder for us.” NASCAR’s new knockout qualifying system made its Sprint Cup debut at Phoenix and Keselowski came out on top, edging Logano for his fourth career pole. Not long after that, Keselowski found out he would be without his crew chief for the race; Paul Wolfe left the desert back to North Carolina for the birth of his first child. With team engineer Brian Wilson and its Nationwide Series competition director Greg Erwin at the helm, Keselowski ran near the front all day, but, like everyone else, didn’t have the speed to keep up with Harvick. “They beat everybody before they came to the track today,” Keselowski said. “It’s a great combination. They were prepared for the weekend. To me, Randy Childers is like a rubber-stamp, carbon-copy of Paul Wolfe. He’s a great crew chief and it was just a matter of time before he found a combination that he excelled with.” Wins now mean everything in NASCAR CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — Joey Logano lined up directly behind Kevin Harvick and followed him nose-to-tail around the track and across the line for the final restart. He was stalking the leader, looking for what he knew would be his only chance to snatch the victory away from Harvick. Logano aggressively darted inside of Harvick and briefly flirted with making it a three-wide race before he ran out of real estate at Phoenix International Raceway. The move didn’t work, but he had to go for it Sunday. Under NASCAR’s new emphasis on winning, there was little upside to Logano staying put those final nine laps. “It’s all about the win, right?” said Logano, who was third on the final restart and settled for fourth. “Third place really doesn’t mean anything. Last year, you may have taken a third place and the points, but this year it’s like, ‘Hey, go for it.’” NASCAR Chairman Brian France had grown to despise points racing — that practice of a driver taking few risks in the closing laps of a race, settling for a solid finish, thanking a long list of sponsors and the boys back at the shop, then exulting on live television about the great points finish. Points racing was already in his cross-hairs last March, when feuding drivers Logano and Denny Hamlin refused to give an inch as they raced for the win at California. Their stubbornness led to a wreck that took them both out of contention on the final lap, and France was hooked. He wanted drivers to race with that same passion and desire every week, and for wins to matter that much. So France overhauled the Chase for the Sprint Cup championship format, and a regular-season victory virtually guarantees race winners a spot in the 16-driver field. It raised the stakes a week ago at the end of an already frantic Daytona 500, and winner Dale Earnhardt Jr. reveled in his post-race celebration about not having to spend the next six months of the season worrying about the postseason. “If everybody is telling the truth, we’ve won a race, we should be in it, so I’m not going to worry about it,” he laughed. Harvick secured the same fate on Sunday by holding off four separate challenges over the final 40 laps to preserve the victory in a race he dominated. As he celebrated in Victory Lane with his new Stewart-Haas Racing teammates, he was greeted by new team owner Gene Haas, who seemed bewildered by the consequences of Harvick’s win. “The points aren’t nearly as important as the wins,” he said in an almost questioning tone. “We’re talking about the Chase already.” Indeed, in the second race of the season, we’re talking about the Chase already. So much so that Brad Keselowski, who has a pair of third-place finishes to start the season and is a mere six points out of the Sprint Cup Series points lead, isn’t stoked about what he’s left on the table. “It feels good to run up front, be competitive, but under this system, wins are the only things that count,” he said. “Last year you would have said seconds and thirds are great, but this year they’re not. They’re so-so. Just know we have to be a little bit better and move on from here.” As France said in the pre-race driver meeting before the Daytona 500, drivers have an opportunity each week to “punch their ticket” into the Chase. They can’t ride around in second or third or fifth or eighth place anymore. They’ve got to talk strategy with their teams, crunch fuel mileage numbers, take risks and gambles. They’ve got to go for broke when the opportunity exists. They’ve got to give 100 percent. Logano has three career victories in 185 career Sprint Cup starts. He doesn’t know how many opportunities he’ll have to punch his ticket, so when he saw a chance, he did what France expects. “With a win being so important, you might as well go for it and I tried to stuff it in there three-wide,” he said. “Gave up a spot by doing that, but overall it is all about the win.” As the season progresses, teams may now attempt to stretch fuel far longer than ever before. What’s the harm in gambling? A Swan Racing or HScott Motorsports or Front Row Motorsports could use some trick strategy to luck into a win, make the Chase and change the entire complexion of their program.

The team locked the free agent Pro Bowl center into a one-year, $10.039 million contract on Monday by designating him as their transition player. By using the transition tag instead of the franchise tag, Cleveland will have five days to match any offer to Mack made by other teams when free agency opens on March 11. If the Browns had used their franchise tag, Mack would have made $11.654 million next season. In the meantime, the Browns are expected to try and sign Mack to a long-term contract. The 6-foot-4, 311-pounder has been one of Cleveland’s best and most dependable players since the Browns drafted him in the first round in 2009. He has not missed one offensive play in five years, a run of 4,998 consecutive snaps. Mack may want to play elsewhere. He could draw serious interest as a free agent and he may be dismayed with the team’s direction following another coaching change and front-office purge this winter. The Browns have gone just 23-57 since Mack arrived. The decision to make Mack their transition player also means Pro Bowl safety T.J. Ward is now a free agent. Ward had a solid 2013 season. He started all 16 games and made a career-high 129 tackles with two interceptions, returning one for a touchdown. With Ward seemingly no longer in their plans, the Browns could pursue Buffalo free safety Jairus Byrd, who was not tagged by the Bills. A three-time Pro Bowler, Byrd could be reunited in Cleveland with new Browns coach Mike Pettine, who spent last season as Buffalo’s defensive coordinator. Byrd turned down a multiyear offer from the Bills. He played under a one-year, $6.9 million franchise tag last year. The Browns have over $55 million in salary-cap room. Kansas City’s AP Source: Peyton Manning passes physical Reid honored at NFL 101 Awards KANSAS, CITY, Mo. (AP) — Kansas City’s Andy Reid was honored as the AFC Coach of the Year on Saturday at the NFL 101 Awards, and Carolina’s Ron Rivera — Reid’s former protege — took the NFC award. One of Reid’s former players, Philadelphia running back LeSean McCoy was selected the NFC Offensive Player of the Year, and Denver quarterback Peyton Manning took the AFC award for the eighth time. Carolina linebacker Luke Kuechly was the NFC Defensive Player of the Year winner, and Indianapolis linebacker Robert Mathis took the AFC honor. Mathis was the only player of the four present at the awards dinner. Reid led Kansas City to nine-win turnaround in in his first season with the team. Fired after going 4-12 in Philadelphia, Reid directed the Chiefs to a 9-0 start, 11-5 finish and a wild-card playoff berth. “I feel very blessed to be in the city of Kansas City and having the opportunity to work in this community and for a great organization, a phenomenal organization,” Reid said. “I’m humbled that you’d even think of me to be the AFC Coach of the Year.” Rivera was an assistant under Reid in Philadelphia. “The one thing about Andy that stands out about him is his presence,” Rivera said. “With him walking into a room, especially a new room like Kansas City last year, I promise you there was probably instant credibility because of the success he had had and people could see that.” Len Dawson, the former Chiefs quarterback and current radio analyst, received the Lamar Hunt Award, a national award given to someone who helped shape pro football. “I told (Chiefs CEO Clark Hunt) I’ve been in broadcasting for 50 years and I’m speechless,” Dawson said. “I wonder what the National Football League, professional football, would be like if there was not a Lamar Hunt.” Visit us at ENGLEWOOD, Colo. (AP) — Sixty touchdown passes. Fifteen wins. A fifth MVP trophy. Peyton Manning is more productive than he’s ever been, and whether he’s deciphering defenses at the line of scrimmage on game day or on his iPad during the week, his love for the game hasn’t waned. The final piece of evidence that Manning is as good as ever came Monday. As expected, Manning passed the exam on his surgically repaired neck that was required by his contract with the Broncos that will pay him $20 million next season, according to a person with knowledge of the results. The person spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity Monday because results of medical checkups typically aren’t announced. Manning has said that if doctors tell him he’s at risk physically, he’d have no problem calling it a career. After his four neck procedures, including a spinal fusion that sidelined him for all of 2011 and eventually led to his release from Indianapolis, Manning has said he has steeled himself for that possibility. At the Super Bowl last month, he talked about how his older brother, Cooper, had to give up football after neck surgeries in high school and college, and how that had a big impact on his life. “I remember at the time, when Cooper got injured, they did a test on me and Eli. I would have been a junior in high school and Eli would have been a sixthgrader, or something. They said our necks weren’t picture perfect and didn’t look ideal, but they’re Lionel Hahn | Abaca Press | MCT Peyton Manning (18) of the Denver Broncos reacts after a play during the second half of Super Bowl XLVIII against the Seattle Seahawks at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, N.J., on Sunday, Feb. 2. stable enough to keep playing football. Cooper had to give up playing football. In some ways, when I had my neck problems, I thought maybe I had been on borrowed time this entire time,” Manning said. “I was fortunate to have 20 years of health to play football. If that was going to be the end of it because of a neck injury, I really, believe it or not, had a peace about it.” Once doctors told him his neck was secure, however, Manning said he quickly shifted his focus to seeing if he could strengthen his weakened throwing arm to the point where he could be productive again. After the Colts released him, Manning signed a five-year, $96 million deal in Denver, where he’s thrown for 100 TDs, including the playoffs, while going 28-7 with two AFC titles. Manning won his fifth MVP award in 2013, when he set singleseason records by passing for 5,547 yards and 55 TDs while guiding the Broncos, the highest-scoring team in NFL history, to their first Super Bowl in 15 seasons. www.mydailysentinel.com PAID ADVERTISEMENT “Being Diabetic, I never had pain-free feet - UNTIL NOW!” Pain Doctor Discovers Blood Flow-Busting Material Into ‘Miracle Socks’ for Diabetics and Foot Pain Sufferers! Breakthrough circulation-boosting fibers improve blood flow, relieve swelling, boost oxygen flow, and eliminate foot fatigue - naturally in as little as 5 minutes! What part of your swollen, tired, or achy feet would you like to see ‘go-away’? If you suffer from poor circulation, injury, swelling or any condition that leaves your feet fatigued and sore, then read on to discover the breakthrough that can change your life. Good news comes in the form of a ‘pain-busting microfiber’ that is used to weave a circulationboosting sock, called BambusaTM. Better Blood Flow The ‘miracle sock’ is made from a new, patented anion-technology that is weaved into every strand of thread used to make a BambusaTM sock. This special micro-fiber thread is made from revolutionary bamboo charcoal to stimulate blood flow and revitalize feet. When this material comes in contact with bodyheat it is proven to release circulation-boosting ions. The 3D-weave technology used in the material has been compared to infrared light therapy to help revitalize stiff and sore muscles. The manufacturer, who also makes a back and wrist sleeve, says the material provides almost instant relief to any part of the body it touches, making it ideal for diabetics, athletes, inflammation, stiffness and swelling. Anne M. from California agrees. “Bambusa socks are absolutely the most comfortable socks I have ever worn! My feet are no longer fatigued!” Therapy Without A Prescription!

They were hot, swollen and sometimes I got “pin pricks” for hours at a time. It became a daily issue and I started to avoid walking whenever possible. I even stopped walking my dogs everyday because my feet were so wrecked at the end of the day. It wasn’t even two days of wearing the socks when I felt an amazing difference. I got home and my feet just didn’t hurt. I took my dogs for a walk for 45 minutes and my feet still felt great. And when I took my shoes off my feet weren’t sweaty. I wear my BambusaTM socks everyday. I know my dogs are as happy as my feet!
