She was indicted in February by the Meigs County Grand Jury and will be arraigned later this month. In February 2011, Mista Eldridge began working off court-ordered community service hours in the village’s utility department. In October 2011, the village hired Eldridge as a water clerk while she was still completing community service. The audit found that in 2011 and 2012, Eldridge’s certified community service hours overlapped with her paid hours by 107.5 and 188.5 hours, respectively. Based on her hourly rate of $8.50, a finding for recovery was issued against Eldridge in the amount of $2,515. The audit also found that Eldridge wrote duplicate receipts for cash collected that was not accounted for — totaling $1,094. Eldridge adjusted utility accounts as well, reducing the amounts billed to zero and payments made to zero. Billing stubs totaling $11,072 were found indicating that payments were received by the village, but they were not included in bank deposits. A second finding for recovery was issued against Eldridge in the amount of $12,166. On February 13, 2014, Eldridge was indicted on charges of theft in office and tampering with records. Court records indicate she was scheduled to be arraigned on March 3, but the courthouse was closed that day due to inclement weather. Her arraignment is now scheduled for 10:15 a.m. March 24. An attorney is not listed for Eldridge in the court records. Laura Curtis, 32, of Vinton, was charged in 2012 with the crime of theft in office and entered a guilty plea to those charges. The audit found that in 2010 and 2011, former fiscal officer Laura Curtis stole $3,007 and $5,725, respectively, in cash collected by the village’s Mayor’s Court. Both amounts were recorded in court records, but missing from bank deposits. Reviews of the village’s utility system in 2010 and 2011 found that receipts totaling $25,405.44 and $25,518.99, respectively, were not included in receipts recorded on the village’s Uniform Accounting Network or deposited to the bank. Curtis also wrote duplicate receipts for cash collected that was not accounted for — totaling $6,135.97. A finding for recovery was issued against Curtis in the amount of $65,791. Additional findings issued against Curtis include $1,311 in missing utility payments and $308 in unsupported purchases. Curtis pled guilty to theft in office in August 2012 and was sentenced to three years in prison, the maximum allowed, and ordered to repay $50,000 to the village of Rutland. She served just four months in prison, with the village agreeing to her early release just before Christmas 2012. A portion of the information for this report was provided by the Auditor of State’s Office.

POMEROY — Two students on the Meigs High School archery team walked away with $1,000 scholarships last weekend from the 2014 National Archery in the Schools Program Ohio State Tournament in Columbus. The pair earned the scholarships based their competitve shooting skills against teams from all over Ohio. Dan Thomas, Meigs Local archery instructor, said Bobby Rice and Paige Phillips placed second overall and won the scholarships for placing in the top high schools. Hocking College in Nelsonville provides scholarships for first-, second- and third-place winners. He also noted that Meigs’ middle and elementary teams placed third overall and that the high school team scored more than 3,300, which Thomas said was the best they have ever done. He noted that because of the scoring at the state level, everybody from Meigs qualifies to go to the national tournament that will be conducted during Mother’s Day weekend in Louisville, Ky. Other local award winners in the competition as released by the Ohio Department of Natural Resources, which coordinates archery in the school and the state tournament, were as follows: Team awards, Meigs Intermediate, 3028 points, third in the Elementary School Division (grades 4-5); Meigs Middle School, 3,240, third in the division for Middle School; and Meigs High School, , 3,304, fifth in the High School Division.

That was the report of Karen Hassell, of the Ohio Historical Society, to members of the Buffington Island Battlefield Preser- vation Foundation, which met recently at the Meigs County Historical Society in Pomeroy. Hassell reported that the battleground site is “eligible for the National Register, but not actually on it.” She explained that being eligible gives some protection and said the preservation committee is continuing to work on getting it done. She said the organization needs to put together a strategy to reach PomeroySentinel_SpecialSectionbroadsheet_2014-03-07_page1.indd 1 out to Portland to get approval for having their land included in acreage for the national register. Hassell volunteered to chair the committee and work on a plan. Volunteering to work with her were Margaret Parker of the Historical Society and Keith Ashley, a local historian. Edd Sharp, president, gave an update on the John Hunt Morgan Trail. David Mowery said he was happy to see it nearly done with only about 40 directional signs south of Creola, to be placed, everything else being completed. A copy of the guidebook was passed around for the committee members to see. It was noted that the book can be purchased at Lulu.com. It was also reported that Blue and Gray magazine is doing a story in an upcoming issue — using the book as a reference.

In a letter read to the Gallia County Commissioners by Sheriff Joe Browning, County Prosecutor Jeff Adkins’ office “does not find a chargeable offense.” The case has now been turned over to Gallipolis City So- licitor/Law Director Adam R. Salisbury after the Gallia County Sheriff’s Office on Tuesday concluded its investigation and asked Adkins to review the case. “I got the file at about 8:45 (Thursday) morning,” Salisbury said. “I’m the one that’s going to be evaluating the case for possible misdemeanors.” Since the investigation is still ongoing, Salisbury said he wouldn’t answer questions about the case. “It’s not my policy to answer questions about pendSee Dog| 2 3/6/14 8:44 PM �Page 2 • The Daily Sentinel www.mydailysentinel.com Meigs County Church Calendar Point Rock Church Revival POMEROY — The Point Rock Church of the Nazarene, located on State Route 689, will be having revival services at the church March 10-13 at 7 p.m. each evening.

He described archery as “for everybody, boys and girls, and anyone who can pull pull back a bow — everyone, even those in wheelchairs.” The tournament was held at Franklin County Veterans Memorial in conjunction with the Arnold Sports Festival, the annual fitness event developed by Arnold Schwarzenegger, who made a brief appearance at the archery tournament.

Dog The Daily Sentinel Friday, March 7, 2014 ing investigations,” he said. “I don’t want to try to taint the investigation. I don’t want to prevent information from coming forward, and I certainly don’t want anyone to get the wrong impression about how we go about making decisions, both in the prosecutor’s office and my office. We want the appropriate authorities to investigate the case.” For the past few weeks, the Gallia County Commission — overseers of the county animal shelter and its employees — has been seeking answers as to why 11 dogs were euthanized prior to a dog adoption event sponsored by the Friends of Gallia County’s Animals, a local animal group that promotes animal welfare, and provides assistance and care to displaced, abandoned, or abused animals. Group members say that all 11 dogs were killed despite being properly vaccinated and slated for adoptive families. No one has been officially charged with the dog deaths, but the supposed employee under investigation has been openly identified by members of the audience during county commission meetings as the assistant dog warden. The person’s name, linking him to the Feb. 14 canine deaths, has also appeared on several websites, including two Facebook pages titled “No Kill Coalition” and “Friends at the Gallia County Animal Shelter.” There is also an online petition at www.change.org calling for the employee’s removal as assistant dog warden. The website identifies Lindsey Bush, of Vienna, W.Va., as the petition’s creator. Autumn Thomas, a member of the Friends of Gallia County’s Animals, asked Salisbury if it was possible to have a person arrested on a misdemeanor charge. “I’m not saying that that’s going to happen in this case,” he said. “If you’re asking if it’s available, in general, yes you can arrest somebody (on a misdemeanor).” Thomas then asked the commissioners about obtaining information from the employee’s personnel file. “I think we, as a group and without wanting to interfere … we want to formally request a copy of (county employee’s) license,” Thomas said. “I don’t see where that would interfere … if you could just provide us with a copy of that.” Board president David K. Smith referred Thomas to the prosecutor’s office. “I don’t know if that’s a violation or that’s a document that you have a right to see,” he said. “There are certain things in a personnel file that I know we are not allowed to release. We’ll have to refer that to the prosecutor for his opinion.” Even though Salisbury is the city’s solicitor, he said he often prosecutes cases outside the city, but within the county. “Our jurisdiction ends at the city limits, however I do prosecute misdemeanors that are brought to be from the sheriff’s office … like this case,” he said. “I do receive a paycheck from the county commission. “I appreciate your patience as I work through this case,” Salisbury said. “I’d rather do it right than do it fast.” Table Tennis Play SYRACUSE — Open table tennis at Syracuse Community Center from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. Sunday.

WV lawmakers say rule hurts black-lung patients WA S H I NGTO N (AP) — Seven Democratic members of Congress are urging the Labor Department to change a proposed rule that they say would harm black-lung patients. In a Feb. 28 letter to Labor Secretary Thomas Perez, released Thursday, the lawmakers say that the rule would make it harder for miners to receive medical reports. The lawmakers, including West Virginia Sens. Jay Rockefeller and Joe Manchin, cite a section of the rule that would change evidence standards in cases before administrative law judges. The Labor Department declined to comment on the letter. Black lung disease is a chronic illness caused by inhaling coal dust. According to the Labor Department, it has caused or contributed to the deaths of more than 75,000 miners since 1968. Under current regulations, a miner can receive copies of medical reports from experts by showing they need the material to prepare their case and they can’t get it elsewhere without undue hardship. The lawmakers said the proposal would impose a tougher standard for miners to meet to get access to the reports. “Changing this evidentiary standard in this manner would make it all-but-impossible for miners to re- ceive copies of medical reports that were prepared by coal operators’ doctors or their experts,” the lawmakers write. They argue that the change could make it easier to conceal information needed to adjudicate blacklung benefits claims. In addition to Rockefeller and Manchin, the letter was signed by Sens. Tom Harkin of Iowa and Robert Casey of Pennsylvania; and Reps. Nick Rahall of West Virginia, George Miller of California and Joe Courtney of Connecticut. “Under no circumstances should we implement a rule that imposes an even heavier burden on miners and their survivors, and rolls back the minimal rights they are currently afforded to receive copies of these medical reports,” the lawmakers wrote. The lawmakers credit the department for its ongoing efforts to protect miners from black lung disease, and they say the agency has taken an “important step in the right direction” with a new pilot program to allow longterm miners to compile additional medical evidence in support of their claims. PomeroySentinel_SpecialSectionbroadsheet_2014-03-07_page3.indd 1 Staff Report TDSnews@civitasmedia.com RACINE — The sixth annual “Big Fooze Night” Southern Alumni Game will start at 5 p.m. March 8 at Southern High School. Gates open at 4:15 p.m. All past Southern alumni players and cheerleaders are invited to participate. “We hope that by March 8 we will be beyond the wrath of Mother Nature,” laughed one of the event organizers, Scott Wolfe. “We hope to play the game that night, but if it snows and everyone shows up, we may just have a snowball fight. “No, seriously we hope that having the game on the 8th gives folks a chance to make plans to be here, and we hope its at a time when people can come out to support a good cause and have a good time.” Proceeds go to the Hilton “Big Fooze” Wolfe Scholarship fund, which is administered by the Southern Alumni Association. Nearly $2,500 has been given in scholarships over the past few years with plans to raise the scholarship amount once the fund increases to a more substantial amount. All students grades K-8 will be given tickets for free student admission. The two homerooms with the most attendance at the game will be given a pizza party. As an extra incentive, a student in one of the winning homerooms will receive $10 from Wolfe. Grades 1-5 will be singing. Wolfe thanked the Southern Band, Mr. Dodson and Mr. Jackson for practicing with the kids, and for all teachers for their support. Plans are being ironed out for an Alumni Prince and Alumni Princess as well. Adult admission is $4 and students not participating in the singing will be $1. Pay to play in the game fees are $4 per player or cheerleader.

Under the deal, approved by Judge Patrick Sheeran of the Franklin County Court of Common Pleas in Columbus on Wednesday, Tampa, Fla.-based Odyssey Marine Exploration can begin working to recover gold bars and coins from the SS Central America next month. “The SS Central America is one of the greatest shipwreck stories of all time,” Greg Stemm, Odyssey’s CEO, said in a statement. “We’re honored to be working with the receiver and his team to share the next chapter of this historically important shipwreck with the world. Experts hired to conduct a review of extensive historical materials on the shipwreck estimate the 1857 value of the remaining gold on the ship to be somewhere between $343,000 and $1.4 million, according to Odyssey Marine. That range in today’s values would be between $22 million and $88 million if the gold were melted down. But the sunken treasure’s worth could be much higher — or lower — depending on the type and amount of treasure recovered. For instance, thousands of $10 and $20 gold coins sold by Odyssey Marine from the SS Republic, which sank off the southeastern U.S. in 1865, were sold for an average of about $6,700 per coin, said company spokeswoman Liz Shows. That’s in comparison to the current $1,349 value of an ounce of melted gold. The expedition to recover the gold isn’t the first for the SS Central America. In 1988, shipwreck enthusiast and Ohio native Tommy Thompson led an expedition that found the vessel and recovered gold that later sold for $50 million to $60 million. The treasure then became the subject of lawsuits. The litigation involved a group of Ohio investors who paid $12.7 million to fund Thompson’s expedition, but say they never saw any returns and workers who said they weren’t properly paid for signing confidentiality agreements to keep the ship’s location and other information secret. Thompson has been described as a secretive Howard Hughes-like figure by an attorney on one of the cases. He has been a wanted fugitive since August 2012 after he failed to show up for a key court hearing and was last seen at a mansion he was renting in Vero Beach, Fla. Court records show that Odyssey Marine Exploration will advance the cost for the recovery. If the company fails to recover the treasure, it will SIMFEROPOL, Ukraine (AP) — Ukraine lurched toward breakup Thursday as lawmakers in Crimea unanimously declared they wanted to join Russia and would put the decision to voters in 10 days. President Barack Obama condemned the move and the West answered with the first real sanctions against Russia. Speaking from the White House, Obama said any decisions on the future of Crimea, a pro-Russian area of Ukraine, must include the country’s new government. “The proposed referendum on the future of Crimea would violate the constitution and violate international law,” Obama said. “We are well beyond the days when borders can be redrawn over the heads of democratic leaders.” Russian President Vladimir Putin was almost certainly behind Thursday’s dramatic developments, but it was not clear whether he is aiming for outright annexation, or simply strengthening his hand in talks with the West. The U.S. moved to im- pose financial sanctions and travel restrictions on opponents of Ukraine’s new government and the EU also announced limited punitive measures against Putin’s government, including the suspension of trade and visa talks. Both Washington and the EU said they were discussing further sanctions. “I am confident that we are moving forward together, united in our determination to oppose actions that violate international law and to support the government and people of Ukraine,” Obama said.

Financial terms of the agreement were not made public, although court records say that Ohio attorney and businessman Ira Kane, who was appointed receiver over Thompson’s companies after he fled, will get more than 50 percent of the recovered treasure, to be disbursed in part to shareholders and the investors who financed the 1988 recovery. “Remember, only 5 percent of this ship was excavated (in 1988),” Kane told The Associated Press on Thursday. “Obviously we hope that there is substantial value there and that we can return that value to our shareholders and to the creditors. If we can do that after 20-some odd years, I think it’d be a job well done.” Thompson remains a shareholder, although it’s unclear how he could claim any of the treasure while he’s still a fugitive. “We’re delighted and we hope this is going to turn out to be a very lucrative and profitable venture,” said Mike Szolosi, the attorney who represents scientists and technicians who allowed Thompson to find and recover the treasure but said they weren’t compensated as promised “But nobody can tell us with certainty that it will be, and we understand that.” The SS Central America was in operation for four years during the California gold rush before it sank after sailing directly into a hurricane in September 1857 in one of the worst maritime disasters in American history; 425 people were killed and thousands of pounds of gold sank with it to the bottom of the ocean.

(Dill) Spurrier 60484139 Obituary ANCHORAGE, Alaska — Doris Spurrier passed away Monday, Feb. 24, 2014, at Providence Hospital in Anchorage, after a hard-fought battle with cancer. She was born Nov. 22, 1934, in Pomeroy, the daughter of the late Allen and Goldie Dill. She graduated from Chester High School in 1952, worked as a federal employee for more than 37 years and retired from the U.S. District Court for Alaska in 1997. She attended Skyline Church in Eagle River, Alaska.

He was walking on ahead of them; they were amazed, and those who followed were fearful {Mark 10:32, NASB).” “After two days the Feast of Passover and Unleavened Bread would come. The chief priests and scribes were seeking how to seize and kill Jesus {Mark 14:1).” Roscoe and Mary were making apple butter in the grassy lot across the street. A big copper kettle, with apples and seasoning in it, cooked over a fire of exclusively hickory sticks. Everybody took turns walking around it, moving the big wooden paddle in rhythm with the steps. “It will be the best made! No grocer can match it!” Now, just why is that? The clean air, the copper in the kettle, the even heat of the hickory: no matter the reason, it will be good! Maybe it’s all the neighbors, children, and even the postman, that creates this wonder! Like our friends, the Jews celebrated Passover. Yes, it is a religious observance. But it also became the vehicle for socialization, travel and reflection. Supremely, it reminded folks that sacrifice must be made for atonement, and that offering prefigured the Perfect Sacrifice, the means of eternal salvation. Passover to the Jews, and conversion experience for Christians, is much more significant than we will ever comprehend. I hope you read the portions of the Gospel dealing with Holy Week and find new value in them, just like a jar of this year’s copper kettle apple butter! His Kingdom, His Will By Pastor Alex Colón Somewhere along the way, many moons ago, the stigma or the idea of what “the church” or the “Christian” ought to look like has become so different than what Jesus taught, that most of the world is confused about it. There is a generation or a society that believes that in order to be a “good Christian” one must be “humbled” (which the perception is to walk with the head down like a pig, not causing any commotion in the marketplace or anywhere for that matter), they are to live poorly, not be “well to do” and not be too outspoken. I’m not sure when this picture of a “good or godly Christian” started, but it sure does not do justice to the picture the Bible teaches. In fact, it’s the total opposite. We do not have to live a beggarly lifestyle while here on this earth and just wait until we all get to heaven to begin to experience the benefits of our salvation. In Matthew 6:10, Jesus told us to pray “Thy kingdom come, thy will be done on earth, as it is in heaven.” In heaven, He will “wipe away all tears from our eyes” (Rev. 21:4), so here on earth we can pray and believe to receive “joy unspeakable and full of glory” (1 Pet. 1:8). Healing, prosperity and all the other benefits of heaven are ours here on earth to the degree that we can believe and receive them. After all, Peter 1:3 tells us that God has given us all things that pertain to life and godliness. So if God has given us all things, if we are to pray for God’s kingdom to come and establish his will on earth as it is in heaven, they why do we have to think that we must be beggars, vagabonds Page 4 Friday, March 7, 2014 Do not starve because you do not hear well By Pastor Ron Branch Through the prophet Amos, God declared about the day when there would be a great famine in the land. It would not be a famine for food or water. Rather, the famine would involve “the hearing of the words of the Lord.” This famine is certainly taking place today, not so much as it concerns the world at large, but specifically as it involves the people of the church. This famine of hearing God’s Word is spreading because church groups are pervasively emphasizing only pieces and portions of God’s Word that stimulate certain emotional feel-good-isms. The ultimate results are two-fold. The church environment is becoming more dominated by immature professors of Jesus Christ characterized by a spiritual shallowness incapable of sustaining spiritual strength and power in the long term. Furthermore, the famine of the hearing of God’s Word is causing people of the church to fail in grasping the depths of what true biblical Christianity really is. There are some pointed reasons why this famine of hearing God’s Word is taking place. First, preachers and people too often build their ministerial themes on the considerations of the human condition to which a perceived applicable text of Scripture might be associated. That amounts to incorrect Scriptural procedure. When people have problems, they want to know how those problems may be quickly fixed so they can continue on their self-centered agendas. It then becomes, not a matter of what we hear God is saying to us during testing time, but rather emphasis on obtaining a quick fix for the sole purpose of soothing the soul and emotion. Hearing God speaking to us through His Word has better beneficent consequences. Second, the famine is compounded by many who first impose their personal opinion on the Word of God before con- sulting or considering what the Word of God actually says about a given concern. There is nothing worse than interrupting what God is saying with what we think He is saying before careful consideration is first applied. Herein is great error because of the manhandling manipulation of the Word of God. The famine is further spread because of unrighteous motives for personal gain. Some use God’s Word only for the purposes of discovering such ecstatic gifts that will raise them up to attain to what they perceive as super-Christian status. Others are motivated to use God’s Word for the purposes of attaining principles for wealth and prosperity. But, if one is to ever stave off the famine of the hearing of God’s Word, one must start with and prioritize the Word of God first. For example, the Word of God does not identify every problem that people have. Neither does God’s Word provide a how-to-get-it-fixed solution to every problem that people have. What God’s Word prioritizes is that God is sovereign. It is by first starting with the biblical truth that God is sovereign whereby mature faith is stirred in the hearts of people to rely completely upon the power and authority of God. After all, it is not that He is our power and authority, it is rather that He is the power and authority. Such is a vital difference for consideration that builds the kind of Christian stability pleasing to God. When the Old Testament prophets declared “Thus saith the Lord,” the objective was to clarify that the people were to hear first what it was God intended to say, the reasons why He was saying it, and how what He said was supposed to work in their lives. Such actually typifies how we should approach the hearing of God’s Word. The Word of God points out to us that nothing matters to God more than the dominance of the New Man nature in our lives, and that our sole purpose in life is to bring God honor and glory. To accomplish such we must take care to hear God’s Word very well, very carefully and very accurately. Otherwise, we will starve to death spiritually. A hunger for more and no good for nothing, nice Christians while on earth? The tragedy of our blessing to have freedom of religion and the freedom to form our own conclusions of our biblical understanding (without research) is that we tend to interpret and validate the truth of the Scriptures by and based on our experiences. Can I remind you that our experiences do not validate the authenticity of the Scriptures? The Word of God is the Word of God and it works every time. This is why the kingdom of God works every time. When it doesn’t work, then something is short-circuiting the flow of his power. It is then our responsibility to find out where the obstruction is and remove it. God wants you to prosper. His kingdom and his will are not poor in any area whatsoever. In fact, this is the very reason why we pray, isn’t it? We believe that God has the answers to every question and the solution to every problem we have. Therefore, we must get to the point where we seek to do his will and be opened to experience and demonstrate while living the kingdom of God. His kingdom is His will. Make it a great day! By Pastor Tom Mollohan Chances are good that you know someone who is in trouble. Battered by circumstances or weighed down by discouragement, this person you know may feel as if he or she is at wit’s end and may even be asking the question, “Why is God letting this happen to me?” And it may occur to you that the hand of God has placed you in the life of this individual to encourage or help. One thing you certainly don’t want to do is to offer trite or glib remarks that patronize the pain or suffering of the other. For example, one might say to the other that the Lord never gives us more hardship than we can bear. While well-intended, it doesn’t enter into the pain of the other nor does it acknowledge the fact of his or her desperation. In fact, it isn’t even biblically correct. What the Lord doesn’t let us have more of than we can handle is temptation. “No temptation has overtaken you that is not common to man. God is faithful, and He will not let you be tempted beyond your ability, but with the temptation He will also provide the way of escape, that you may be able to endure it” (1 Corinthians 10:13 ESV). Someone being told that God doesn’t permit circumstances in her life that she cannot handle may result in the unhappy effect of bitterness or despair, especially when she is overwhelmed with a hurt or loss that just doesn’t go Pastor Thom Mollohan Thom Mollohan and his family have ministered in southern Ohio the past 18 ½ years, is the author of “The Fairy Tale Parables,” “Crimson Harvest” and “A Heart at Home with God.” He blogs at “unfurledsails.wordpress.com”. Pastor Thom leads Pathway Community Church and may be reached for comments or questions by email at pastorthom@pathwaygallipolis.com. away. So what perspective can you share with another who is suffering? What is the truth of the matter that brings hope and strength in such times of utter brokenness? Simply this. That the God Who created the heavens and the earth, the stars, the trees, the mountains, the seas, the flowers, the family, and even each hair on each head will ultimately bring about His deliverance in the life of the one who will trust and obey Him. To a heart that perseveres because of hope in God, the Lord ultimately brings about a great victory! “For we do not want you to be ignorant, brothers, of the affliction we experienced in Asia. For we were so utterly burdened beyond our strength that we despaired of life itself. Indeed, we felt that we had received the sentence of death. But that was to make us rely not on ourselves but on God who raises the dead” (2 Corinthians 1:8-9 ESV). So what can we say about hardship and suffering that isn’t the result of sin or selfishness on our part, but seem instead to be allowed by God for either no reason or reasons known only to God? First, we recall to mind that “for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to His purpose” (Romans 8:28 ESV). Second, we remember that while our Lord will permit us to exhaust all our resources, expend all our strength, and even forfeit all our hopes and dreams, He is merely clearing the way in our hearts for His deliverance, His strength, and eternal rewards that infinitely dwarf our meager hopes and shallow dreams. Indeed, “He delivered us from… deadly peril, and He will deliver us. On Him we have set our hope that He will deliver us again” (2 Corinthians 1:10 ESV). So if this God can deliver us from the deadly peril of our sin through the atoning sacrifice of His Son, can we not count on Him to “hold onto us” through the trials and tribulations that He permits in our lives? “He Who did not spare His own Son but gave Him up for us all, how will He not also with Him graciously give us all things?” (Romans 8:32 ESV). No, I’m not suggesting that you “wax on and on” theologically when keeping company with the hurting, but knowing what God says in His Word does empower you to simply say to the hurting one, as your tears mingle with theirs, “Hold on to Jesus. Trust God through this. He understands and weeps with you, too.” But do not be an encourager in word only. As a channel of God’s comfort and encouragement, be an encourager in deed, too. Be creative and be ready to go beyond what is necessary to be the friend this other may need. Cards, help with errands or chores, or thoughtful gestures that remind this friend or acquaintance that they’re not alone may be all it takes for him or her to continue to cling to the hope that only Jesus can provide. “If a brother or sister is poorly clothed and lacking in daily food, and one of you says to them, ‘Go in peace, be warmed and filled,’ without giving them the things needed for the body, what good is that? So also faith by itself, if it does not have works, is dead.” (James 2:15-17 ESV). So, stay on the lookout and let God make you a source of true encouragement today.

Two other RedStorm players, junior forward Morgan Daniels (Gallipolis, OH) and sophomore center Harley Adler (Burton, OH) joined Bonar on the Academic All-Conference squad. Thomas (Maplewood, NJ) is averaging 19.4 points, 5.1 assists, 3.7 steals and 3.4 rebounds per game for the RedStorm. She ranks third nationally in steals, eighth in assists and 13th in scoring. Her .827 free throw shooting percentage also ranks 12th in the country. A two-time MSC Player of the Week selection and NAIA Division I National Player of the Week (Jan. 14), Thomas scored a career-high 33 points in a win over Cumberland University on Nov. 21 and had one of only two triple-double performances in the league this season with 29 points, 11 assists and 10 rebounds in a win over Shawnee State on Jan. 11. Bonar, a sophomore forward from Hartford, Ohio, is Rio’s second-leading scorer this season at 16.8 points per game, while also averaging 6.3 rebounds, 1.6 assists and 1.5 steals per game. Bonar, who also is shooting 80.4 percent from the free throw line, earned MSC Player of the Week honors for the week of Nov. 11. Joining Thomas on the All-MSC First Team were Diane Abbady, Alannah Sheets and Priscila Santos of Shawnee State University; Campbellsville University’s Daizah Kimberland and Ellen Sholtes; Andrea Howard and Kourtney Tyra of Georgetown College; University of Pikeville’s Callisha Johnson; and Brooke Forsythe of the University of the Cumberlands.

Sheets ranked in the conference’s top 10 in nine different statistical categories, including leading the conference in scoring (20.7 points per game), total points (600), 3-pointers made per game (3.1) and total 3-pointers (89).

The coach of the year award is her third — Colvin also received the honor in the 2008-09 and 2009-10 seasons. The awards were selected based on balloting of the league’s 10 coaches, who were not permitted to vote for any of their own players or themselves. Bonar, Daniels and Adler were among a group of 43 student-athletes to earn Academic All-MSC honors.

This number was hard to overlook: $10 million. In a cost-cutting move Thursday, the Broncos released Bailey, the team’s defensive leader who’s been a fan favorite since he was acquired in a trade with Washington in 2004. There’s simply no room for loyalty in the NFL, especially with free agency about to start and with holes needing to be filled, something that became apparent to the Broncos after a 43-8 loss to the Seattle Seahawks in the Super Bowl last month. Broncos boss John Elway called the decision to release Bailey a “difficult” one given all that the perennial Pro Bowl cornerback has brought to the team over his 10 seasons in the Mile High City. “Without question, he’s among the best cornerbacks to ever play the game and District pre-sale tickets at South Gallia HS MERCERVILLE, Ohio — South Gallia High School will have pre-sale tickets available for Saturday’s district final boys basketball contest against Peebles at the Ohio University Convocation Center in Athens. Tickets will be available for purchase during school hours — 8 a.m. until 3:15 p.m. — on Thursday and Friday. Pre-sale tickets are $6 apiece, and a portion of the proceeds will be given to the South Gallia general athletic fund. Tickets will cost $8 apiece at the game. AP Photo Denver Broncos cornerback Champ Bailey (24) intercepts a pass intended for Oakland Raiders wide receiver Denarius Moore during the second quarter of an NFL football game, Sunday, November 6, 2011 at the O.co Coliseum in Oakland, California. The Broncos won, 38-24. one of the finest players in the history of the Broncos,” Elway said in a statement. “You couldn’t ask for more in a player than what Champ brought to this team. His combination of elite talent, class, leadership and competitiveness made him one of the all-time greats.” Quartet From Page 6 ference in scoring (18.5). Reed ranks fourth in field goal percentage (55.1 percent) and fifth in free throw percentage (79.3) and double-doubles (5). Nationally, Reed is sixth in total blocks and is 15th in field goal percentage. Rice averaged 12.6 points — tops in the conference among freshmen — and 2.9 rebounds per game. His 58 3-pointers during the regular season are fourth most in the MSC. Wells led the No. 2-ranked Bears to a 17-1 conference record and the regular season conference title. The awards were selected based on balloting of the league’s 10 coaches, who were not permitted to vote for any of their own players or themselves. Legg and Elliott were among a group of 18 student-athletes to earn Academic All-MSC honors. In order to be nominated by an institution, a student-athlete must maintain a minimum grade point average of 3.25 on a 4.0 scale and must have achieved at GPR baseball/softball signups GALLIPOLIS, Ohio — The Gallipolis Parks and Recreation Department will hold baseball and softball signups through Friday, March 14.

Baylor, West Virginia top Big 12 women’s honors IRVING, Texas (AP) — Baylor senior guard Odyssey Sims, the nation’s leading scorer at 29.6 points per game, has been picked as the Big 12 Player of the Year by the league’s coaches. Sims was also named Thurs- day as the Big 12’s top defensive player. The No. 9 Lady Bears, who won the Big 12 title outright the past three years, shared the regular-season crown this season with No. 7 West Virginia, whose 10-game winning streak includes a win last weekend in Waco. Mike Carey got his first Big 12 Coach of the Year award in the Mountaineers’ second season in the league. Baylor forward Nina Davis, the league leader with 9.0 rebounds per game and a .596 field goal percentage, is the Big 12’s top freshman. Sims won that award in 2011. Browns tender contract to LB Robertson CLEVELAND (AP) — The Browns extended a contract tender to starting inside linebacker Craig Robertson as an exclusive-rights free agent. Robertson started 14 games last season, his second with Cleveland. The 6-foot-1, 234-pounder finished with 89 tackles — 63 solos — and had three sacks and an interception. An exclusive-rights free agent doesn’t have negotiating power and must stay with a team if he’s tendered. Robertson will make $570,000 next season. With captain D’Qwell Jackson’s recent release, Robertson is expected to take on a larger role with the Browns. However, it’s not yet known how he’s viewed by Cleveland’s new coaching staff and the team will likely target an inside linebacker in free agency. Robertson missed two games with a knee injury. He started three games as a rookie in 2012 after he was signed to Cleveland’s practice squad. least sophomore academic status.

(AP) — Alex Guerrero hit a grand slam and Adrian Gonzalez added a solo home run as the Los Angeles Dodgers rallied for 10-3 win over the Cincinnati Reds on Wednesday night. Dodgers starter HyunJin Ryu allowed two runs and four hits in four innings. Gonzalez singled off Jeff Francis to lead off the four-run fifth. Juan Uribe followed with a fly to shallow right. Right fielder Jay Bruce called off second baseman Brandon Phillips but slipped and the ball fell for a single. After Joc Pederson walked, Guerrero homered to left. Guerrero, the latest Dodgers player signed out of Cuba is trying to learn a new position while keeping his bat sharp. The natural shortstop is moving to second base for Los Angeles. Manager Don Mattingly has noticed an improvement in Guerrero’s offense since the start of spring training. “He looked stiff at first. It’s from not playing in a while,” Mattingly said. “I’ve watched his at bats lately and he looks more fluid and seems more comfortable.” Gonzalez homered off Sam LeCure started another four-run inning in the sixth. Neftali Soto homered and Billy Hamilton had an RBI single and scored a run for the Reds. Reds starter Homer Bailey pitched three hitless innings, facing just nine Dodgers batters. Bailey allowed a walk to Guerrero but then got a double play. The Reds commited two errors in addition to the missed fly ball that was ruled a hit. “We’ve made a couple of mistakes that have led to big innings,” Reds manager Bryan Price said. “We need to execute better.” STARTING TIME: Dodgers: Ryu made his second spring start after pitching two scoreless innings against the White Sox on Friday. Ryu was scheduled to throw three innings or 55 pitches in preparation for the Dodgers’ season opening series in Australia in three weeks. Ryu finished with three strikeouts, all in the third. He walked Todd Frazier but got a double-play ball to finish strong. “In the first two innings, I didn’t have good command,” Ryu said through interpreter Charlie Kim. “The last two innings were better. I was working on my slider. I was supposed to throw five and I threw all of them in the last two innings. They were breaking good. I struck out Votto with one.” Reds: Homer Bailey also started for the second time. Bailey signed a sixyear, $105 million extension with the Reds on Feb. 20. Bailey, who pitched his second career no-hitter last season, retired the first six Dodgers batters. Bailey struggled with command in his first start, a two inning effort against Cleveland. “I’m just trying to build my innings,” Bailey said. “It was hard to say if I had better command. I didn’t get into any deep counts. They (Dodgers) were aggressive.” TRAINER’S ROOM Dodgers: Right-hander Zack Greinke threw off the mound for 15 minutes on Wednesday. Greinke strained his right calf on February 28 in his first spring start. … Non-roster right-hander Ross Stripling had arthroscopic surgery on Wednesday by Dr. Nea El Attrache to remove loose particles from his elbow. Stripling will have reconstructive surgery on the elbow when the swelling subsides. … Yasiel Puig left early after tweaking a muscle, but Mattingly said he expected him to play to- morrow. Reds: Right-handers Mike Leake and Mat Latos threw bullpen sessions on Wednesday afternoon. Leake felt tightness in his abdominal muscles from an offseason workout that flared up before his first scheduled spring start on Saturday. He hopes to make his first start on Friday against the White Sox. Latos is testing out the repaired meniscus in his left knee from Feb. 15. Latos also had surgery to remove bone fragments from his elbow in October. He threw 25 pitches. .. Jonathan Broxton also threw a bullpen session of 30 pitches. Broxton, former Dodger, had right elbow surgery on Aug. 23. VIVE LA FRANCE Team France, managed by former Dodger closer Eric Gagne, played a team of Dodger minor league players. Team France is on a five game tour of Arizona spring training camps. Gagne was 2003 National League Cy Young Award winner. RED STREAKS Hamilton’s bunt single gave the Reds’ center fielder a four-game hitting streak. … Soto has hits in all six of his appearances. REUNITED DOWN UNDER Ryu is looking forward to meeting his mentor, Dae-Sung Koo, in Australia when the Dodgers play the Arizona Diamondbacks in the season-opening series there. “I will get to see Koo. He taught me how to throw a change-up,” Ryu said. Koo, who pitched in 33 games for the New York Mets in 2005, is a member of the Australian national team.

A steady start for Tiger Woods at Doral DORAL, Fla. (AP) — Tiger Woods only made it through six holes Thursday until he walked off the golf course — along with the other 67 players at Doral. The opening round of the Cadillac Championship was delayed for more than two hours Thursday because of a large band of thunderstorms that eventually dumped rain on the new Blue Monster at Trump National Doral. Woods was 1-over par through six holes, picking up his lone bogey on the par-3 fourth hole when he went long of the green. PGA champion Jason Dufner ran off four straight birdies at the start of his round, and then made birdie on the par-5 first hole to reach 5-under par when the round was halted. He was one shot ahead of Russell Henley, coming off a win last week in the Honda Classic. Henley was on the other side of the course. The first round brought plenty of curiosity, starting with Woods. The world’s No. 1 player withdrew after 13 holes in the final round at the Honda Classic because of lower back pain and spasm. He said he received treatment all week, and while declaring himself fit to defend his title in this World Golf Championship, said he was concerned about recurring back injuries. Woods showed no sign of obvious discomfort in the six holes he played before the suspension. Donald Trump bought the resort and hired Gil Hanse to redesign the Blue Monster. The course looks nothing like it once did except for the routing, with brand new greens and more water in play than ever before. Hanse was in the gallery. He is regarded as a good listener, and while he has spoken to players throughout the week, he was most curious to see how the Blue Monster would fare when the scores actually counted. Seventeen players were under par at various points on the golf course. Luke Donald was at 3 under, while Rory McIlroy dropped two shots to fall back to 1 under. McIlroy three-putted from long range on the 17th, and then tried to take on too much of the water on the 18th with a driver and saw it tumble down the bank and into the hazard. Phil Mickelson was playing in the same group as McIlroy. He was even through nine holes after hitting his approach into the water on the 18th. Adam Scott was playing with Woods and was at even par. Scott can go to No. 1 in the world if he were to win the Cadillac Championship and Woods finished out of the top five. Buckeyes’ Meyer prowling sidelines after surgery COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Three days removed from surgery to relieve pressure from a cyst on his brain, Urban Meyer supervised Ohio State’s first day of spring practice on Tuesday. He did just about everything he usually did. He just wasn’t quite as loud doing it. Asked if he was limited in any way by the operation to alleviate recurring headaches, Meyer said there was one bit of advice from doctors. “Just watch how long I scream,” he said. “I’m not kidding you. And how long I blow the whistle. So I had (operations assistant Fernando Lovo) blowing the whistle today and it didn’t sound very good. It didn’t sound the same. So I’ll be back after spring break. You’ll hear it again.” A cyst on the surface of his brain was drained during a procedure at Ohio State Medical Center. He said it wasn’t the first time he’d encountered problems with the congenital growth. “Not great, I feel good,” he said after the three-hour practice. “I’ve had it for several years. It’s a cyst, an arachnoid cyst. It surfaced a couple of times, once in ‘98 and once in ‘04 and a couple of other times. It’s just something you’ve got to manage.” Meyer had health problems that caused him to step down twice during his tenure at Florida, where he won two national championships. Before taking the job at Ohio State in November 2011 in the wake of the ugly Jim Tressel/tattoo scandal, Meyer’s family forced him to sign a contract pledging that he would not overdo it and would try to remain healthy. He still has that framed contract in his office at the Woody Hayes Athletic Center. “I’m not going to be ignorant like I was before,” Meyer said. “If something happens, I’m going to get it fixed. I just put it off, put it off, put it off. It had reached that point” where something needed to be done. Meyer wore a white Ohio State ball cap, scarlet windbreaker, khakis and white running shoes as he walked from position group to position group. He has a boomerang-shaped scar a few inches long on his left temple. At one point during Tuesday’s practice, his injured star quarterback Braxton Miller walked up to him in the middle of Ohio State’s indoor practice facility and asked to see the scar, which was hidden under his cap. Miller had surgery on his throwing shoulder on Feb. 21. He was at Tuesday’s first practice, his right arm in a sling. He stood behind the other quarterbacks, occasionally encouraging them. In his stead, sophomore Cardale Jones and freshmen J.T. Barrett and Stephen Collier will split up the snaps during the 15 workouts in March and April. Meyer spoke to the team for several minutes shortly after practice began. After the workout, he talked to reporters for 12 minutes. His voice was low and somewhat raspy. The Buckeyes moved indoors for their first workout of the spring because the tempera- tures outside were below freezing. Meyer and his staff will have a busy spring. They must replace 10 starters, including most of the offensive line, and Miller, the Big Ten’s two-time MVP won’t take a snap. The Buckeyes are missing six starters on offense and four on defense from a team which went 12-2 a year ago. The Buckeyes won their first 24 games with Meyer, former coach at Florida, Utah and Bowling Green, on the sidelines. But they closed out the most recent season with losses to Michigan State in the Big Ten championship game and to Clemson in the Orange Bowl. Meyer wants his team to play hard and with more instinct. “We were a what-if defense last year: What if they did this? I saw it from our coaches and saw it from our players,” Meyer said. “I just want to see guys trigger and go. It’s been that way since Day 1 in 2001, when I first became a head coach. I don’t want a team that’s scared to make mistakes. I don’t want a team that’s thinking. I want a team that goes for 4 to 6 seconds and when they put their foot on the ground, it’s from Point A to Point B as fast and as hard as you can go.” The Buckeyes will finish their workouts with the annual spring game on April 12 at Ohio Stadium. 3/6/14 9:07 PM � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
