The groundbreaking ceremony for the facility was conducted last August and construction began almost immediately. The facility will be operated by Holzer Health System and is being constructed through a collaborative effort with the Meigs County Community Improvement Corporation. On Thursday, Gretchen Nutter, executive director of urgent, emergency and trauma services at Holzer Health System, gave an update on the construction of the facility. The project is currently four weeks behind schedule due to the extreme winter weather this year. While construction is slightly behind schedule, the facility is still projected to open in early October. “We are currently completing the exterior sheathing and insulation, and continuing the roofing install. Masonry work will be started as soon as the weather permits,” Nutter said. “We began pouring the floor today.” Hiring for the new facility will also begin soon. “We will soon be hiring an ED unit manager and expect to begin the process for all other staff hiring within the next few months,” Nutter said.

Merchants Association plans spring activities By Charlene Hoeflich choeflich@civitasmedia.com POMEROY — Looking toward spring, the Pomeroy Merchants Association is making plans for improvements and beautification as well as activities to encourage business in the downtown area. A variety of events and ideas were discussed at this Submitted photos Southern Elementary students Sydney Roush and Lily Allen take part in activities during this week’s Math and Science Expo. Southern hosts Math and Science Expo Staff Report tdsnews@civitasmedia.com RACINE — The noise and laughter heard in the gymnasium Tuesday evening at Southern Elementary wasn’t the result of the normal athletic event or practice; it was the annual Math and Science Expo and Junior High Science Fair. About 140 students participated in this year’s event. This year, the two events combined for a full day of math and science learning and involvement for the Southern students and their families. The science fair is put on annually by the junior high science teacher. This year, Erin Lisle was in charge of the event with special assistance from Courtney Ginther. The junior high students put together their own science fair experiments using the scientific method. Experiments were then graded and judged by several individuals with a background in science. Judging the students projects: Jenny Ridenour from Meigs Soil and Water Conservation District; Michelle Stumbo from the Meigs County Extension Office; and Tara Rose, Laren Shain, Sam Hawley, Bob Duckworth and Frank Johnson, all from AEP, who also donated the trifolds for this year’s projects. The Best of Show for this year’s science fair was Sydney Cleland with her project “Methane: Fuel for the Future.” The first runner-up was Mallory Johnson with her project “Propeller Performance” and second runner-up was Jordan Knott with “Electromagnet.” Pictured, from left are Knott, Cleland and Johnson.

One program being taught to area youth is helping to combat that problem. School Resource Officer and Deputy Jimmy Riley is currently teaching Project ALERT to seventh-grade students at Eastern Middle School. Students at Meigs Middle School completed the same program last fall. Project ALERT is an age-appropriate substance abuse prevention curriculum proven effective in reducing experimentation among teens and in reducing usage among teens who experiment. The national program is geared toward seventh- and eighth-grades students. Lessons taught through the program focus on alcohol, tobacco, marijuana and inhalants. A letter sent home earlier in the year to parents of students involved in the program reads in part, “Both school districts are committed to providing the most effective approaches to preventing the use of alcohol, tobacco and other drugs in our Sarah Hawley | Daily Sentinel School Resource Officer and Deputy Jimmy Riley teaches Eastern Middle School students as See ALERT | 2 part of Project ALERT. �Page 2 s The Daily Sentinel www.mydailysentinel.com Friday, March 14, 2014 Bailes Honorary Scholarship Fund established over the past two years business sponsors so to educate the commuthe cost would not be nity about the hazards a hardship for her famof drinking and driving. ily,” Deanna Nibert The members of Andrea’s Spaulding said. “She Army share Andrea’s stoused her charismatic ry in the hope that they personality to contact may prevent this tragedy businesses with mailfrom happening to anothings, help organize er family. fundraisers and work Andrea’s family will odd jobs to generate be working over the the funding needed next three years to build for gymnastics camps the scholarship fund to and competitions.

Andrea was the daughter of Jody Bailes and Jason Spaulding, and Deana Nibert Spaulding. “My daughter’s life was cut short because someone made a bad decision to drink and drive,” said Deana Nibert Spaulding, Andrea’s mother. Andrea was an eighth grader at Point Pleasant Jr/Sr High School, where she excelled in academics and athletics. She was a member of the soccer team and maintained a 3.5 grade point average. Andrea was a dedicated gymnast and devoted 20-24 hours a week to practice as a competing member of Southern Ohio Gymnastics Academy in Gallipolis. She was a two-time state champion on the uneven bars. In addition her to own practice schedule, she also mentored younger gymnasts and had planned to coach gymnastics when she turned 16. She was the youngest of three children and attended church at Wyoma Pentecostal Church. “Andrea loved people and had a smile that would light up the room. She was a hard worker who was dedicated to things that mattered most to her.

The campus also includes Hopewell Health Centers (formerly Family Healthcare) and the recently completed Meigs County Emergency Operations Center. The emergency room and the operations center will be side by side with a helipad located between them. Hopewell Health Center is on the opposite side of the road. The opening of the facility is expected to create about 30 new full-time positions. The facility will feature a 24-hour staffed emergency department equipped with state-of-the-art technology. The building, designed by Don Dispenza of Panich and Noel, will include eight treatment rooms, one double trauma room, two triage rooms, lab, pharmacy, and general radiation and CT suite, along with areas for the public and staff. Kinsale Corp. of Chester, Ohio, is the contractor for the project. The $6 million ER facility is financed by Ohio Valley Bank, with the commissioners having previously approved a bond resolution for the project.

Last summer, the truck bearing the tank was reportedly broken down and the flowers were not watered, so they dried up and died. Assurance has been given by the village that it won’t happen another year. The baskets and other flowers are donated to the village by Bob’s Market as a way of contributing to the beautification of the Bend Area. Again this year, the Merchants Association will be hosting the Easter egg hunt. It will be April 12 at the Meigs Local Enrichment Association’s park located on the hill near the old Salisbury School. Jennie Dunham will be active in planning the event as she has been in the past. Brian Howard, vice president and presiding officer, reported on the possibility of getting new banners for the period light posts. He said he will be conferring with local photographer Brandon Bartee on a design and with a local business about production. It was also reported that Imagine Pomeroy, an organization for promoting a progressive business community, will be doing streetscape cleanup and beautification projects along with gateway enhancements as a part of making Pomeroy a place people want to visit. Reporting on Pomeroy Village Council’s meeting on Monday night, Annie Chapman, of Chapman Shoes, said the sidewalk replacement and water line work in Pomeroy is scheduled to begin in late summer in downtown Pomeroy. She talked about the probable effect on businesses and stressed the importance of not tearing everything up at once, as well as the need for working in sections so as not to deter shoppers from coming to town. She noted that the contract is set to be awarded in May. Chapman said that two planning meetings will be held with Mitch Altier, architect and financial advisor for the project, prior to when the bids are awarded. She suggested representatives of the Merchants Association be present at the meetings to express their concerns. It was also noted by Chapman that the village police department has plans to put in new poles and replace the parking meters sometime in the near future. The timing of that was mentioned by one member who expressed concern about the new sidewalks being torn up in the process, either of installing new parking meter poles or removing the AEP power poles at some point in time. A couple of years ago, American Electric Power transferred their lines on the poles on the sidewalk along Main Street to new poles erected in the center section between the street and the parking lot. The plan, as reported by AEP at a meeting of the Merchants Association at that time, was for the poles on Main Street to be removed once the new poles had been erected and the service lines moved to the new poles. However, the cable and telephone companies have never removed their lines from the old poles, making it impossible for AEP to remove the old poles which remain today on the sidewalk in front of all the businesses in town. As for the parking lot, it was mentioned that the village indicated that for $4,000 a year, the parking lot could be opened up for free parking.

The math and science expo is a free educational event open to the community. With a snow day on Monday and the recent weather, there was a little uncertainty about how much participation there would be this year. But the snow did not stop students and parents from enjoying the fun-filled learning event last Tuesday evening. Each year the expo consists of multiple activities different from previous years. The activities promote student learning in math and science, and take that learning to the next level by getting students involved in a hands-on, interactive way. There were activities for students of all ages, ranging from making bubble pictures and marshmallow shooters, to bowling addition and iPad stations. This year’s event was staged by the middle school math teacher Megan Edwards with the assistance of Principal Kent Wolfe and approximately 20 teachers and staff members.

We know that prevention of drug use and abuse is most effective when it is a partnership between the community, the home and the school.” Riley is the only officer at the Meigs County Sheriff’s Office currently certified to teach the program. There are currently 568 trained teachers for the program in Ohio. “There are a lot of drug issues that prevent youth in the county from positive futures,” Riley said. He added that he hopes to prevent some of the negative habits from being developed by the youth and to help change the path some of the students may already be on. “I think the project is a great asset for the school and is a tremendous value for the education of our youth,” Meigs County Sheriff Keith Wood said. “It’s another opportunity as an outreach to make each community safer.” Topics to be covered include alcohol, marijuana, tobacco, inhalants, peer pressure, and the use of media and advertising. Lesson Plans are provided from Project Alert along with printable posters and materials for the class. The program is taught one day per week to students in the seventh grade. The program could be expanded in the future to also include eighth-grade students. Currently, 77 seventh-grade students at Eastern Middle School are participating in the class. Riley said students have been very receptive to the program and have actively participated in class discussions and activities. Students are made aware of the consequences of drug use and abuse for each type of drug discussed in the class. During the class, students gave their take on why people use alcohol (or other drugs), the possible consequences at that time and with long-term use. In a recent class, Riley presented the students with a variety of scenarios with the students giving the reasons why alcohol is not good in that situation. Students then took part in an activity similar to pictionary where the answers involved facts related to the use and abuse of alcohol. Some of the answers included, “drinking and driving don’t mix,” “beer is as dangerous as marijuana,” and “addiction can be passed down from parents to children.” The class will continue over the next several weeks. Riley encouraged parents with questions about the program or about starting a conversation with their children to contact him through the Meigs County Sheriff’s Office. �Friday, March 14, 2014 Death Notices HIGGINS POINT PLEASANT, W.Va. — Joseph Riley Higgins, 91, of Point Pleasant, passed away Wednesday, March 12, 2014, at Holzer Medical Center in Gallipolis.

FDA chief defends Zohydro as criticism intensifies W.Va. senator fights to remove it from the market By Matthew Perrone Associated Press WASHINGTON — Debate over a powerful new painkiller ratcheted up Thursday as the head of the Food and Drug Administration defended the drug’s approval and a West Virginia Senator responded with a bill to force it off the market. FDA Commissioner Dr. Margaret Hamburg told Senate lawmakers that the recently-launched Zohydro fills an “important and unique niche” for treating chronic pain. Her agency has been under fire for clearing the drug since December, amid concerns from lawmakers, addiction specialists and others that the drug will exacerbate the national epidemic of prescription drug abuse. Zohydro is the first single-ingredient hydrocodone drug ever cleared for U.S. patients. Each extended-release pill contains up to five times more of the narcotic than previously available combination pills, such as Vicodin. Pharmacies began dispensing the drug earlier this week. Hours after Hamburg’s appearance on Capitol Hill, Senator Joe Manchin, D-W. Va., introduced a bill that would force the FDA to withdraw the drug and prohibit the approval of any similar medications that don’t have tamper-resistant design features. “I have tried reasoning with the FDA, and I’ve repeatedly requested the agency change its course on this dangerous drug,” Manchin said in a statement. “Because of this painkiller’s high potential for misuse and abuse, Zohydro poses a severely dangerous threat to our communities in West Virginia and across our country.” Representative Stephen Lynch, D-Mass., introduced similar legislation in the House of Representatives. In a statement late Thursday, Hamburg said the FDA has not had a chance to review the legislation. “However, I look forward to continuing to work with Congress on preserving access to medications for patients suffering from pain, while addressing a serious public health problem — the inappropriate use of opioids.” Hydrocodone is the most frequently abused prescription drug in the U.S., according to the Drug Enforcement Agency. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported that hydrocodone and other prescription opiates accounted for more than 16,650 deaths in 2010, a fourfold increase from 1999. The opiate class includes drugs that mimic the effect of the opium poppy, such as morphine, oxycodone and heroin. Doctors prescribe opiates to treat pain from injuries, surgery, cancer, arthritis and a variety of other ailments. The drugs can unleash intense feelings of euphoria and well-being, especially when quickly absorbed via injection or inhalation. Before Zohydro’s approval, hydrocodone was available only in combinations with other non-addictive pain relievers, such as acetaminophen. Hamburg pointed out Thursday that acetaminophen has its own well-known safety risks, including potentially deadly liver damage when taken at high levels. Zohydro provides doctors and patients with a “single hydrocodone product without that associated liver toxicity risk,” Hamburg said. Chief among the criticisms leveled at the FDA is that regulators should have required Zohydro to be formulated in a way that would make it difficult for abusers to chew, crush or dissolve. Any of those approaches can quickly release a massive, heroin-like dose of the drug which can be fatal. Hamburg cautioned that tamper-resistant formulations are still in the early stages of development. To date, the FDA has only approved one medication with such features, a tamper-resistant version of OxyContin in 2010. “It doesn’t do any good to label something as abuse deterrent if it isn’t actually abuse deterrent, and right now, unfortunately, the technology is poor,” Hamburg said.

Page 4 Friday, March 14, 2014 Church recognized by Operation Christmas Child MIDDLEPORT — Operation Christmas Child recently recognized the congregation at Hope Baptist Church in Meigs County with an award for their years of service. Hope Baptist has been collecting shoe boxes for Operation Christmas Child, under the leadership of Bronwynn Williams, for more than five years. Since becoming a collection center, Hope Baptist has collected more than 1,800 gift-filled shoeboxes that have been distributed to needy children around the world. During National Collection week last November, local residents brought 549 boxes to Hope Baptist Church. Together, with the other relay centers in our area, southeast Ohio brought in 40,047 boxes last year. Patty Tipton, a Jackson resident who has been volunteering with Operation Christmas Child for close to 20 years, presented the award.

Now consider how that we ourselves what it would take to tell it, and what would have to happen to bring all the are in the ongoing saga of God’s story, having been placed in settings that are necessary for us each to be the unique creation God intends us. Our afflictions, our burdens, our handicaps can each somehow contribute to an effect in and through us that could not be realized except that we endure and persevere through faith in Christ. You are a part of God’s story of love. What tale will now be told in your part of this cosmic drama that is still unfolding? Are you a protagonist, embracing God’s will for your life, becoming all that God desires as He transforms you through His Word, prayer and fellowship with other Christians? Are you contributing your unique gifts and letting God harvest through your life the kind of fruit that endures? “We know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to His purpose. For those whom He foreknew He also predestined to be conformed to the image of His Son, in order that He might be the firstborn among many brothers. And those whom He predestined He also called, and those whom He called He also justified, and those whom He justified He also glorified. What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us?” (Romans 8:28-31 ESV). Consider well your setting, the circumstances surrounding your life, and prayerfully ask the Lord how He wants you to respond. Let His working in your life transform you into the protagonist, the Christ-like hero that your family, your church and your community need. Make room in your heart for His Holy Spirit to pour out love, grace, forgiveness, courage, vision, hope and joy in you and through you. The world needs heroes today. Be one who answers God’s call!

Search the Scripture ‘These were more noble … they searched the scriptures daily …’ Some people have the idea that they can have a relationship with Christ, but that they do not need to be a part of the Lord’s church. But is this truly the case? The Scriptures teach us concerning the Lord’s affection for the church, saying “Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ also loved the church and gave Himself for her, that He might sanctify and cleanse her with the washing of water by the word, that He might present her to Himself a glorious church, not having spot or wrinkle or any such thing, but that she should be holy and without blemish.” (Ephesians 5:2527) Consider these things. The Lord loves His church, as a man loves his wife. The Lord died for his church, in order to save her. The church, purified through the blood of Christ in baptism, is a glorious thing to the Lord, holy and without blemish. The church is not a thing to be discounted, for it is precious to Christ, and all who are saved are a part of it. It is unfortunate that many try to separate the mission of Christ from the church, when the Bible makes it clear that the church is integral to the plan of Christ. Jesus, during His ministry, once asked His apostles concerning who they thought Him to be. It was the apostle Peter who said, “You are the Christ, the son of the Living God.” Jesus confirmed this, saying that Peter had made this declaration through inspiration, the facts having been revealed by the Father in heaven. Jesus then went on to say, “on this rock I will build My church, and the gates of Hades shall not prevail against it.” (Mathew 16:18b) The rock in context, though thought by some to refer to Peter, must grammatically refer to the confession Peter made: that of the identity of Christ. It was always the plan of Jesus to build His church and to build it based upon His character as the Son of God and upon His actions as the savior of men. The church grows through the addition of souls into the number of the saved. Peter writes to the church, saying, “you also, as living stones, are being built up a spiritual house, a holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ.” In Acts, the Holy Spirit tells us that following the preaching of the apostles, “those who gladly received his word were baptized; and that day about three thousand souls were added to them.” and “the Lord added to the church daily those who were being saved.” (Acts 2:41, 47) If you have been saved, baptized into water for the forgiveness of your sins (cf. Acts 2:38), you are a part of the church. If you are not a part of the church, it must be that you have never been saved. The church is also called the body of Christ. We read in the Scriptures “For as the body is one and has many members, but all the members of that one body, being many, are one body, so also is Christ. For by one Spirit we were all baptized into one body—whether Jews or Greeks, whether slaves or free—and have all been made to drink into one Spirit.” (1 Corinthians 12:12-13) We notice again the connection between baptism and membership in Christ and in His church, which is His body (cf. Galatians 3:27). In this connection, we turn again to Ephesians, where we read concerning the love of a husband for his wife: “So husbands ought to love their own wives as their own bodies; he who loves his wife loves himself. For no one ever hated his own flesh, but nourishes and cherishes it, just as the Lord does the church. For we are members of His body, of His flesh and of His bones.” (Ephesians 5:28-30) There is no doubt that Christ loves His bride. If we love Christ, we also should love His church, working to be a part of it, helping it to grow, in both spirit and in number. If you would like to be a part of the Lord’s church, we invite you to study and worship with us at the church of Christ, 234 Chapel Drive, in Gallipolis. �Friday, March 14, 2014 www.mydailysentinel.com The Daily Sentinel s Page 5 Meigs County Church Directory Pageville Freewill Baptist Church Pastor: Floyd Ross.

Of the six schools within the Ohio Valley Publishing area, only Meigs and Gallia Academy failed to land more than one player on the list. Eastern led the way with seven selections, followed by Southern with four and both South Gallia and River Valley with two apiece.

Classmates Jordan Parker, Erin Swatzel and Katie Keller were also first-team choices for EHS in D-4, while senior Maddie Rigsby and freshman Laura Pullins were respectively chosen to the second-team and special mention squads. Southern — which finished with double-digit wins for the first time in a decade — landed senior Celestia Hendrix on the D-4 second team and were also represented on the special mention list by Cierra Turley, Ali Deem and Haley Hill. South Gallia had a pair of players make the D-4 team as well, as senior Rachel Johnson and sophomore Mikayla Poling were each selected as special mention choices. River Valley landed two players on the D-3 squad, with sophomore Leia Moore and junior Chelsea Copley each being chosen as a special mention choice.

Except for team and family photos, that is. Kelsey, a 5-foot-8 senior from statebound Cincinnati Princeton High School, is a twin. And they are just one of two sets of twins in the immediate family. So while others might marvel over her unique moves on the court, others wonder about her relationship with her 5-11 sister Chelsea, a Princeton star who is also joining her at Ohio State next year. “We’re two relatively different people,” Kelsey said. “We do our own things, but then again she is one my best friends. So we talk about a lot of things together, but she’s so different from me. She very outgoing.” Kelsey’s play speaks volumes, however. She’s a do-everything guard who averages 24.9 points, 4.5 rebounds, 4.2 assists and 4.1 steals a game for a team that is 26-2 heading into Friday night’s Division I state semifinal against Toledo Notre Dame (24-3). “She does it all. She can get to the basket, she can shoot the 3, she finds open people and plays great defense,” said her coach, Jill Phillips. What most amazes Phillips is that Kelsey’s motor is always running even if her mouth isn’t. “I guess the thing is that she never takes a play off,” Phillips said. “Practice, game — there’s never a time when she’s not giving 100 percent.” Kelsey is a McDonald’s All American who doesn’t let her ego get in the way of the No. 1 objective, winning. Asked what she does best on the court, the student with a 3.76 gradepoint average hesitated for a second.

From Page 6 “Best? I think I distribute the ball well,” she said. “Lately I’ve been averaging a lot of assists. My teammates have been making big-time shots in big-time games, so I’m more than happy to distribute the ball to them.” Beware, opponents. That doesn’t mean you can slack off on guarding her. The lefty shot 35 percent on 3-pointers this season. In the regional semifinal against defending state champion Kettering Fairmont, she piled up 50 points. Funny, but there’s a debate whether the best girls player in the state is even the best player in her family. First, Chelsea can play, a three-star prospect who’s a double-figure scorer on the state’s No. 1 team in the final AP regular-season poll. Second and third, well, there are brothers Cameron and Kevin who play for Indiana University Southeast. The Grenadiers have a 25-4 record and are in the NAIA playoffs. “My brothers are one of the reasons that I am the player that I am today,” Kelsey said. “They’re great basketball players, so they made me better.” Kelsey and Chelsea will be playing on their future home court at Value City Arena when they play in the state tournament. As might be expected, it’s been an exciting week around Princeton, with tickets up for grabs, people making travel plans and everyone anticipating the Vikings’ big moment in the spotlight. “I’m very excited. I’m happy that our team has made progress to get to state and I’m just honored to be there,” Kelsey said. “We’re just honored to be there.” Ms. Basketball is determined in voting by a state panel of sports writers and broadcasters. Past winners include Katie Smith, the leading scorer in professional women’s basketball history, along with two-time winner Ameryst Alston, now at Ohio State, and past Cincinnati-area standouts Kendall Hackney (Mount Notre Dame, 2009), Amber Gray (Lakota West, 2008), Mel Thomas (Mount Notre Dame, 2004), Michelle Munoz (Mason, 2000-01), Carol Madsen (Reading, 1989) and Janet Haneberg (Seton, the inaugural winner in 1988). Other finalists for this year’s award included Reynoldsburg’s Alyssa Rice, Clyde’s Amanda Cahill, Kristen Confroy of Solon, Reedsville Eastern’s Jenna Burdette, Laina Snyder of Millersburg West Holmes and Cortland Lakeview’s Alli Pavlik.

(AP) — The Steve Smith era in Carolina is over. The Panthers released their all-time leading receiver on Thursday after 13 seasons. Panthers general manager Dave Gettleman said it “was not an easy decision” in a press release. “Steve has been one of the NFL’s finest receivers for over a decade and has been the face of the franchise for a large part of the team’s history,” Gettleman said. “As a team, we made a step forward last year; however we are also a team in transition, which is a part of the NFL.” The decision comes one day after Smith’s agent, Derrick Fox, told The Associated Press that the 13-year NFL veteran “is not going to play for the Panthers next year, I know that.” Fox said the Panthers never asked Smith, who turns 35 in May, to restructure his current contract. The Panthers were unable to trade Smith, who was set to cost $7 million under this year’s salary cap. The Panthers still owe Smith $3 million this season. The decision has not been a popular one among Carolina fans. Gettleman addressed that in his press release. “When I took this position I knew that difficult decisions would have to be made along the way,” Gettleman said. “To move on from a storied veteran player is probably the most difficult of all. A decision not to be taken lightly. However, after much thought I feel very strongly it’s the right one.” “As I’ve stated many times, all decisions I make will be in the long-term best interest of the Carolina Panthers. Decisions, either popular or unpopular, have to be made for the greater good and it is imperative to take an unemotional global view. Sometimes it may appear that short term interests will suffer, and I can assure you we have no interest in taking a step back from our 2013 accomplishments.” The Panthers also lost wide receiver Domenik Hixon on Thursday. He signed with the Chicago Bears as a free agent. One possible replacement for Smith is free agent Hakeem Nicks, a Charlotte native who played for New York Giants. The Smith move marks the end of an era for the Panthers. Smith joined the team as a third-round draft pick out of Utah in 2001. He made an immediate impact in the NFL, returning the opening kickoff of the season for a touchdown against the Vikings. He became the first Panthers rookie selected to the Pro Bowl, earning that honor as a return specialist. Known for his feisty behavior on the field, Smith became a dominant receiver over the next 12 seasons. He is Carolina’s all-time leader with 75 total touchdowns and has 836 receptions for 12,197 yards. “On the football field Steve had a competitive arrogance that (was) second to none — second to none,” said former Panthers quarterback Jake Delhomme in a telephone interview. “That helped him be as good as he was. He made other guys step up their game. But off the field he was totally different. He loves his wife and his family. He’s a genuinely good person with a great heart.” Panthers coach Ron Rivera said in the release: “He is a great competitor with Hall of Fame-worthy statistics and has made a great contribution to our community.” Fox said Smith would have welcomed a chance to move inside to slot receiver, but the team never offered him that opportunity. As productive as Smith was, his fiery personality often rubbed people the wrong way, and some viewed him as a distraction in the locker room. Smith had run-ins with teammates on at least two occasions. He punched out fellow wide receiver Anthony Bright in a film room fight and later socked cor- Jeff Siner | Charlotte Observer | MCT photo With tears in his eyes, Carolina Panthers wide receiver Steve Smith (89) sits on the team’s bench in the closing moments of fourth-quarter action in the NFC divisional playoffs at Bank of America Stadium in Charlotte, N.C., on Sunday, Jan. 12. The 49ers defeated the Panthers, 23-10. nerback Ken Lucas on the field during a practice at training camp in Spartanburg, S.C. On both occasions, Smith was suspended by the team. Delhomme said that was a “humbling experience” for Smith, who apologized to Lucas and the team’s fans after the incident. Despite the two incidents, Smith was immensely popular with the fan base, in large part due to his production on the field. He also worked hard to change his public image over the last several years and has been an active member of the Charlotte community. Smith said on Twitter on Wednesday that “I will always be a Carolina panther No contract can ever change that CLT is my home and will always be my home… I love you #panthernation.” When asked if he was surprised Smith was released, Delhomme said, “It does surprise, but that’s the NFL. I mean, look, Peyton Manning plays for the Denver Broncos — that the way it goes.” NOTES: Panthers backup quarterback Derek Anderson announced Thursday on Twitter he has re-signed with Carolina for a fourth season. Anderson tweeted: “Happy to be coming back to Charlotte next season!” AP Sports Briefs Most of basketball star Wells’ suit claims survive CINCINNATI (AP) — A judge has allowed most of the claims in a federal lawsuit filed by a former Xavier University basketball player against the school and its president to proceed to trial. Dez Wells has accused the university and its president, Father Michael Graham, of damaging his reputation by expelling him for what he says was a false rape accusation. The university and Graham asked federal Judge Arthur Spiegel to dismiss some of Wells’ claims from his August lawsuit, including libel, sex discrimination, and deliberate indifference. Spiegel dismissed two of 11 claims against the university Wednesday because of a statute of limitations, and dismissed sex discrimination and deliberate indifference claims against Graham. Wells now plays for the University of Maryland, which is in the Atlantic Coast Conference tournament this week. Tampa Bay Buccaneers cornerback Darrelle Revis (24) stands on the field before an NFL game against the Carolina Panthers at Bank of America Stadium in Charlotte, N.C., on Sunday, Dec. 1, 2013. Revis agrees to contract terms with Patriots FOXBOROUGH, Mass. (AP) — Revis Island is coming to New England. The Patriots have agreed to contract terms with three-time All-Pro cornerback Darrelle Revis, according to his business manager. “Now it’s Official.Revis24 has agreed to terms with the New England Patriots!” John Geiger tweeted Thursday. The Patriots wasted little time in finding a replacement for another top cornerback. On Tuesday, Aqib Talib left for a six-year contract worth a reported $57 million with the Denver Broncos. The agreement with Revis was first reported by ESPN, which said it was for one year at $12 million. The Patriots have not made an announcement regarding Revis. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers released the three-time All-Pro on Wednesday before he was due a $1.5 million bonus. Revis was cut after efforts to trade him and his $16 million salary failed. Now he’s with New England, the AFC rival of the New York Jets, the team Revis spent his first six seasons with before being traded to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers before last year’s draft. As a Jet, Revis faced the Patriots 12 times in the regular season and postseason, more than any other opponent. He had two interceptions, nine passes defensed, one fumble recovery and 50 tackles in those games. Revis, known for his lock-down coverage of receivers, trademarked the phrase “Revis Island,” a nickname he was given because of his ability in man-to-man coverage. He’s an upgrade over Talib, and more durable, and comes to a defense that allowed the 15th most yards passing in the NFL last season and the seventh most overall. The Patriots also could use another pass-rushing defensive end to complement Chandler Jones, who led them with 11 1-2 sacks last season. They won the AFC East with a 12-4 record but lost the AFC championship game in Denver 26-16 as Peyton Manning threw for 400 yards, two touchdowns and no interceptions. The Patriots usually don’t sign big-name veteran free agents. Last year, they let wide receiver Wes Welker leave for Denver and replaced him with oft-injured free agent Danny Amendola, who caught 54 passes in a disappointing season. Now the Patriots can focus on finding receivers to help Tom Brady, who will be 37 when he begins his 15th NFL season. Julian Edelman, who emerged last season with a career-high 105 catches, is a free agent but could remain with New England. Other free agent wide receivers who might interest the Patriots are Jason Avant, who has 297 catches in eight seasons with Philadelphia, Brandon LaFell, who has 167 catches in four seasons with Carolina, and Emmanuel Sanders, who has 161 catches in four seasons with Pittsburgh. They combined for 154 catches for 13 touchdowns last season. Revis spent less than a year with the Bucs, who obtained him from the Jets for a first-round choice last year and a fourth-rounder this year. But with Lovie Smith taking over as coach after Greg Schiano was fired and Jason Licht becoming general manager, both in January, the Bucs are rebuilding a team that went 4-12. If Revis had remained on Tampa Bay’s roster at 4 p.m. Wednesday, he would have been due the bonus, and the 2014 pick the Bucs sent to the Jets would have become a thirdrounder. Just 28 years old but a five-time Pro Bowl selection, Revis, a firstround draft pick in 2007, likely will team with Alfonzo Dennard, drafted in 2012, as the starting cornerbacks. Dennard could see a lot of passes thrown his way since teams are reluctant to throw toward Revis. Dennard, 24, is currently serving a 60-day jail term in Lincoln, Neb., for a 2012 assault on a police officer. He began the term last Saturday and must serve at least 35 days, after credit for good behavior and the three days he already spent in jail. Defensive captain Devin McCourty is one starting safety, but the other spot is open after the Patriots released Steve Gregory after last season. Revis started all 16 games last season for Tampa Bay after recovering from a torn anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee and receiving a $96 million, six-year contract. He played in just two games for the Jets in 2012 after starting 77 of their 80 regular-season games in his first five NFL seasons. He made the Pro Bowl last season when he had two interceptions, a sack and two forced fumbles. Ohio KOs Miami (Ohio) 63-55 in MAC tournament CLEVELAND (AP) — Nick Kellogg had 20 points, including a key late three-point play, as Ohio defeated Miami (Ohio) 63-55 in a second-round game at the Mid-American Conference tournament Wednesday. The victory over the eighth-seeded RedHawks sent the fifth-seeded Bobcats (23-10) into Thursday’s third round with No. 4 seed Akron. With Ohio up one point with 38 seconds left, Kellogg got behind the RedHawks’ full-court pressure to score on a breakaway layup. He added a free throw for a 59-55 lead. Javarez Willis, who scored 13 points, added two free throws and Kellogg another layup for the final eight-point margin, largest of the second half. Maurice Ndour added 12 points for Ohio. Willie Moore scored 16 points and grabbed 10 rebounds for the RedHawks (13-18) with Jaryd Eustace adding 15 points. The Bobcats led 27-23 at halftime. The score was tied five times and lead changed hands six times in the second half. Browns sign TE Jim Dray CLEVELAND (AP) — The Browns have signed free agent tight end Jim Dray, who spent the past four years with Arizona. Dray had career highs with 26 catches for 215 yards and two touchdowns last season for the Cardinals. The 6-foot-5, 255-pound Dray is mostly a blocker, and will provide quality depth behind Pro Bowl tight end Jordan Cameron and Gary Barnidge. Dray was drafted in the seventh round in 2010 out of Stanford. The Browns are expected to turn their attention to a slot wide receiver. They signed Cincinnati restricted free agent Andrew Hawkins to an offer sheet earlier this week. The Bengals have five days to match the reported $12.2 million offer. Also, Cleveland is believed to have interest in New England’s Julian Edelman, who caught 105 passes last season and was a teammate for three seasons with Browns quarterback Brian Hoyer. Bengals release LB James Harrison CINCINNATI (AP) — The Bengals have released linebacker James Harrison, who had a limited role during much of his one season in Cincinnati. The 35-year-old linebacker will be looking for a third team in three years. He left Pittsburgh, where he was the Defensive Player of the Year in 2008 and helped the Steelers win two Super Bowls, after the sides couldn’t agree on a restructured contract. The Bengals gave him a two-year deal and envisioned him as a difference maker. Harrison had a limited role for the first half of the season. He finished 12th on the team in tackles and had two sacks and one interception. Coach Marvin Lewis said the Bengals wanted to go with younger players at linebacker next season. Cavs spoil Bledsoe return by beating Suns, 110-101 PHOENIX (AP) — Kyrie Irving scored 12 of his 23 points in the fourth quarter and the Cleveland Cavaliers spoiled the return of Phoenix’s Eric Bledsoe with a 110-101 victory over the Suns on Wednesday night. Spencer Hawes added 19, 17 in the first quarter, and Luol Deng scored 18 as the Cavs snapped a four-game losing streak. Bledsoe, who underwent knee surgery and missed 33 games, had 15 points on 5 for 16 shooting and a team-high nine assists. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
