Fifty fire hydrants are being replaced throughout the village as part of the project, along with approximately 13,000 feet of a 12-inch water main from the water treatment plant to Nye Avenue. Of the $1.3 million, $250,000 is funded through a grant, with the remainder financed through a loan available through the EPA. The loan is partially paid through the $5 fee that was placed on utility bills in the village last year. Work on the project is being completed by Fields Excavating of Kitts Hill, Ohio. The original completion date on the project was set for April 15, but Village Administrator Paul Hellman estimated that the work may be completed by the end of March. The new hydrants are being placed along Main Street, State Street, Locust Street, Mulberry Avenue, Second Street, Spring Avenue and Condor Street. Late last week, Hellman said that approximately 12 of the 50 hydrants needed to be installed. Hellman added that once all the hydrants are put in place, a training will be held for employees and possibly the fire department on maintaining the hydrants and the operation of them. He said that some of the hydrants will need to be turned to face the opposite direction, which can be done as part of the training. Hellman also hopes to maintain a schedule to flush the hydrants which will allow them to continue to function properly over the course of time. To date, the project has not had to use the contingency money, which may allow for the purchase of additional hydrants at a later time, Hellman said.

Main Street Studio has been in operation since 1996 and includes five inhouse members and several other artists who contribute their work to their exhibitions. The five members of Main Street Studio are Terry Quentrill, Wes Quentrill, Mary Grassell, Kelly Mangus and Steven Durrenberger. Other participants include Robby Poore, Emily Roles, Betty McMullen, Jerre Watkins, Barbara Marsh Wilson, Jan Burford, Linda Stone, Ida York and Bruce Haley. See STUDIO ‌| 3 OHIO VALLEY — Motorists running red lights, stop signs or failing to yield to traffic are causing far too many crashes in Ohio each year. In fact, these violations were the second-highest cause of fatal crashes in 2012. That is why the Ohio State Highway Patrol (OSHP) is urging all motorists to take their time, ensure that cross traffic is stopped or clear and obey all traffic signs and signals. Failure to yield violations can be deadly. In 2012, 37,475 crashes in Ohio were caused by a driver failing to yield — killing 187 people and injuring 23,353. Young drivers, age 16-25, were at-fault in 30 percent of these crashes. This is nearly twice as high as those aged 26-35 which accounted for 16 percent of those accidents. “Drivers are urged to pay close attention to stop signs and signals when traversing Ohio’s roadways,” said Lt. Max Norris, Gallia/Meigs Post Commander. “They need See CRASHES ‌| 3 Southeast Ohio Tourism Expo slated for March 2 Staff Report tdsnews@civitasmedia.com Nathan Jeffers | Daily Sentinel Pictured are several pieces of artwork from Main Street Studio featured at the French Art Colony.

Developed by the Governor’s Cabinet Opiate Action Team’s Professional Education Workgroup, the Guidelines provide uniform guidance for the prescribing of opioids and other controlled substances where the treatment of pain does not benefit from an established and ongoing physician-patient relationship. “Our Health System is doing its part to change opioid prescribing practices in Ohio in order to address the staggering epidemic of prescription drug addiction and overdose,” said Greg Micku- nas, MD, Emergency Medicine Medical Director, Holzer Health System. “The adoption of these guidelines in our Emergency Department at our Medical Centers in Gallipolis and Jackson, as well as our Urgent Care locations in Gallipolis, Jackson, Pomeroy, and Athens communities, will assist clinicians in providing the best possible care while also tempering patient expectations of the services able to be provided in an emergency/acute care setting.” In 2007, drug overdose be- came the leading cause of injury death in Ohio, surpassing motor vehicle crashes for the first time on record. This trend continued through 2010 when unintentional drug overdoses rose to their highest levels by claiming the lives of 1544 Ohioans. Prescription drug overdoses have largely driven this rise in deaths. Hospital Emergency Departments (ED) are an important source of opioid prescriptions throughout the country. Of the 374,891 ED visits in the U.S. during 1993-2005, 42 percent of visits were related to pain and nearly one-third (29 percent) of patients received an opioid. Opioid prescribing for painrelated ED visits increased from 23 percent in 1993 to 37 percent in 2005. In Ohio, 16 percent of fatal overdose victims in 2008 had a history of “doctor shopping” (filled prescriptions from at least five different prescribers in a year). Educating patients about the Guidelines is a critical part of See GUIDELINES ‌| 3 �Friday, February 15, 2013 The Daily Sentinel • Page 2 www.mydailysentinel.com Local Briefs Meigs County Community Calendar River City Players to perform MIDDLEPORT — The River City Players will be performing an evening of love songs at 7:30 p.m. on Saturday February 16, at the Middleport Village Hall.

But the legislation, set to be revealed Thursday afternoon, is sure to die at the hands of Republicans opposed to new tax hikes when a vote is called the week of Feb. 25. Its release set off a predictable round of bickering in the Capitol. “Their whole goal here isn’t to solve the problem, it’s to have a show vote that’s designed to fail, call it a day, and wait for someone else to pick up the pieces,” said Senate GOP Leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky. “Well, my message this morning is simple: There won’t be any easy offramps on this one. The days of 11th hour negotiations are over. Washington Democrats may have gotten used to Republicans bailing them out of their own lack of responsibility. But those days have passed.” The automatic cuts would drain $85 billion from the government’s budget over the coming seven months, imposing an 8 percent cut on the Pentagon and a 5 percent cut on domestic agencies. Medicare provider payments would be cut by 2 percent. The cuts are the resulting failure of a 2011 deficit “supercommittee” to reach agreement. The original idea was that the threat of the sequester would drive Democrats and Republicans to strike a budget bargain. The ongoing deadlock comes as more and more federal agencies are coming forward with details about the consequences of the cuts, which Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms and Explosives agents and U.S. Marshals. Daniel Werfel, a top official in the White House budget office, said the cuts will mean reduced operating hours at smaller rural airports, less food aid for pregnant women and their children and less money for mental health programs. He said the cuts will “keep federal agencies from conducting the inspections necessary to keep our food, our air, and our water safe and clean.” “A 5 percent cut this late into the fiscal year often translates into a double whammy for our agencies because fixed costs like rent and utilities can’t be cut. The big cuts will be to salaries, which means furloughs, layoffs, and services not delivered to the American public,” said Appropriations Committee Chairwoman Barbara Mikulski, D-Md. The Agriculture Department, for instance, says furloughs of inspectors would force the closure of meat and poultry processing plants for up to 15 days nationwide, with resulting industry production losses of up to $10 billion and $400 million in lost wages. The Interior Department says automatic spending cuts set to take effect next month would lead to reduced hours and services at national parks, wildlife refuges and other public lands. The department is preparing to reduce hours and services at all 398 national parks and possibly could close up to 128 wildlife refuges. ternational peacekeeping operations in Mali and elsewhere and programs combatting terrorism, weapons proliferation and drug trafficking. Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, told reporters on Thursday the sequester was Obama’s idea and said it’s up to Senate Democrats to see if they can pass legislation to replace it with other spending cuts. “The sequester, I don’t like it. No one should like it. But the sequester is there because the president insisted that it be there. Where’s the president’s plan to replace the sequester that he insisted upon?” Boehner told reporters. The Senate bill would forestall the cuts through Dec. 31 and substitute about $120 billion in deficit savings over the coming decade. Almost $1 trillion worth of cuts over the coming eight years would remain in place. But Republicans are likely to block the measure because it contains a 10year, $47 billion tax increase known as the “Buffett Rule” that would require people with million-dollar incomes to pay a minimum of 30 percent income tax. The rule is named after billionaire investor Warren Buffett, whose secretary pays a higher tax rate than he does. The measure would also raise about $24 billion by cutting much-criticized direct payments to farmers in addition to $27 billion in Pentagon cuts. Interest savings would contribute most of the rest. �Friday, February 15, 2013 The Daily Sentinel • Page 3 www.mydailysentinel.com Obituary William Henry Morris, Jr. William Henry Morris, Jr., 68, of Rutland, Ohio, leaves many loving memories with family and friends after leaving February 13, 2013, from Holzer Medical Center, Gallipolis, Ohio.

(AP) — President Barack Obama on Thursday pitched a new plan to make preschool available to all 4-year-old children, declaring, “Education has to start at the earliest possible age.” With teachers as a backdrop, Obama made his case for greater access to preschool, arguing that poor children in particular can benefit. “Study after study shows that the earlier a child starts learning, the better he or she does down the road,” he said. “But here’s the thing: We are not doing enough to give all of our kids that chance.” It was Obama’s second day on the road, after Tuesday’s State of the Union address, to promote initiatives for his second term directly to the public. His visit came on the same day Education Secretary Arne Duncan told senators on Capitol Hill that pending budget cuts could be devastating to current students and could hurt the nation’s economy for years to come, if students aren’t learning now. “We’re trying to do a lot more in terms of early childhood education, not go in the opposite direction,” Duncan said. “Doing that to our most vulnerable children is education malpractice, economically foolish and morally indefensible.” Obama’s team is warning Congress — and lawmakers’ constituents — what is expected to happen if leaders fail to avert $85 billion in automatic budget cuts set to begin March 1. With the cuts looming, the administration has increased its pressure on lawmakers, and Obama’s address Tuesday made clear he was not looking for compromise as he begins his second term. Before his remarks in De- catur, Obama stopped by a classroom at the College Heights Early Childhood Learning Center, which serves kids from infancy through pre-kindergarten. He played games with about a dozen children, bending down to give hugs or offer a fist bump. “If you’re looking for a good bang for your education buck , this is it right here,” Obama said afterward. He praised the teachers as highly qualified. “This is not babysitting. This is teaching.” The White House fleshed out Obama’s plan Thursday, proposing a “continuum of high-quality early learning for a child, beginning at birth and continuing to age 5.” The government would fund public preschool for any 4-year-old whose family income is 200 percent or less of the federal poverty level — a more generous threshold than the current Head Start program, which generally serves kids from families below 130 percent of the poverty line. All 50 states and the federal government would chip in. Obama also is proposing letting communities and child care providers compete for grants to serve children 3 and younger, starting from birth. And once a state has established its program for 4-year-olds, it can use funds from the program to offer full-day kindergarten, the plan says. Still missing from Obama’s plan are any details about the cost, a key concern among Republicans. The White House says federal investment in Head Start, an $8 billion program that serves almost 1 million kids, will grow. But Obama’s aides have stressed that the new programs would not add to the nation’s nearly $16.5 trillion debt. “The last budget had over $1.5 trillion of mandatory and revenue savings, things like reductions in entitlements, closing loopholes,” Jason Furman, a deputy director of the National Economic Council, told reporters Wednesday. He said the new initiatives would be smaller than that. Obama will outline details about the plan’s cost when he sends his 2014 budget proposal to Congress next month, Furman said. Ahead of that, the White House and Congress are weighing whether to let the deep automatic spending cuts to take hold on March 1. If that happens, some 10,000 teachers could be out of work and 70,000 students could be kicked out of Head Start programs, Duncan warned lawmakers. The cuts would also force an additional 14,000 Head Start workers to be laid off and would mean 1.2 million students from low-income families would have their schools’ funding cut. Washington also would stop paying its share of 7,200 special needs educators’ salaries. If the White House wants to move ahead, officials are going to need help from the states to provide political cover and dollars alike. House Speaker John Boehner said Wednesday involving the federal government in early childhood education was “a good way to screw it up.” The Republican chairman of the House committee overseeing education policy, Rep. John Kline, R-Minn., was cool toward the proposal and was unlikely to support new spending on it. And even Obama’s allies acknowledged there was little Washington could do without governors’ help.

(AP) — The long, slow journey back to port for a crippled Carnival cruise ship and its miserable passengers suffered another setback Thursday when a tow line snapped, setting the vessel adrift once again. A clearer picture of the scene aboard the ship began to emerge as passengers who have been mostly out cellphone reach described overflowing toilets, sewage backed up in showers, scarce food and people getting sick. What began as a four-day voyage in the Gulf of Mexico has turned into a vacation nightmare, not at all the luxury cruise touted in brochures. Passengers were expected to make it to shore Thursday night at the earliest — only to then face an hourslong bus ride or other travel hassles to finally get back home. Frustrations with the cruise line were simmering on and off the ship, as passengers and their relatives questioned why it has taken so long to get back to dry land after an engine-room fire disabled the ship Sunday. “There’s poop and urine all along the floor,” Renee Shanar, of Houston, said from her cellphone aboard the ship. “The floor is flooded with sewer water … and we had to poop in bags.” The ship was in sight of the Alabama shore Thursday afternoon when the tow line broke. Until it can be repaired, the ship is “dead in the water and when they reconnect safely, they then proceed on their way,” Coast Guard Petty Officer William Colclough said. The 14-story ship still has to negotiate a tricky shipping channel before it could dock. Before the line broke, the ship was traveling about 5 mph. Television images from CNN showed passengers with signs of “Help” and “I love you” hanging from their cabin rooms. Others walked around the deck, some waving to the helicopters flying above. People in boats, presumably officials from Carnival, the Coast Guard and Customs, have boarded the ship. Studio Expo From Page 1 From Page 1 Main Street Studio members further explain their work and this exhibition through their collective artistic statement, which includes the following passages: Main Street Studio exists for the community. We believe that the community of Hurricane benefits from our presence on Main Street. We offer a variety of art forms and continue to strive to be better in our own art forms. We readily invite the community in to look at our gallery, watch us work, ask questions. The statement continues and says: We believe our exhibition demonstrates these traits. Now we would like to share it with another community to further demonstrate the universality of or work and to spread the word about valid art existing in the small communities of the nation. The exhibit opened earlier this month and continues until March 3. FAC gallery hours are 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Tuesday through Friday, 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Saturday, and 1-5 p.m. on Sunday.

The Gallia County Con- Shanar, who is on the ship with her husband, said the couple had a cabin with no windows, so they have been sleeping outside for days. She said the food has been distributed on the 9th floor, and some of the elderly have needed younger people to bring it to them. They were initially only given cold cuts, like turkey and vegetable sandwiches. Then another cruise line dropped off hamburgers and chicken sandwiches, but the line for that fare was nearly four hours long. “And then people started getting sick from the food,” she said. The company has disputed the accounts of passengers who describe the ship as filthy, saying employees are doing everything to ensure people are comfortable. Terry Thornton, senior vice president for Carnival Cruiselines, said they received an extra generator that allowed them to serve hot food on the ship Wednesday night, and that the food services will be fully operational when they are docked. That isn’t expected until at least 8 p.m., perhaps later. The massive ship still needs to make turns and navigate cross currents on its way to the port — all without the help of its engines. “This is going to be a long day,” Thornton said. “There is no way we can speed up the process.” When passengers arrive in Alabama, their stay will be short. Carnival said in a statement late Wednesday that passengers were being given the option of boarding buses directly to Galveston, Texas, or Houston — a roughly seven-hour drive — or taking a two-hour bus ride to New Orleans, where the company said it booked 1,500 hotel rooms. Those staying in New Orleans will be flown Friday to Houston. Carnival said it will cover all the transportation costs. “I can’t imagine being on that ship this morning and then getting on a bus,” said Kirk Hill, whose 30-yearold daughter, Kalin Christine Hill, is on the cruise. “If I hit land in Mobile, you’d have a hard time getting me on a bus.” vention and Visitors Bureau works to connect a vast network of tourism industry contacts with Ohio and West Virginia.

So, as one sinner to others, let those of us who are Christians unite in prayerful support of our new Mayor; he’s going to need us, and them! The recent incident may be somewhat behind us, but not entirely: it seems some pain still lingers; some issues remain to be dealt with. To move forward is a notable goal, one which I’d like to see occur: bring in new industry and business; purge Pomeroy of as many negatives as possible, such as the all-too-many decrepit houses. Although we can’t expect miracles of mortal men, far be it from us to say God has written us off as a lost cause. Last I knew, prayer still works for the faithful — and surely Pomeroy has enough faithful Christians within the Village limits to get the Lord’s attention. Pray for God’s will to be done! Roman Catholics the world over are now in turmoil because Pope Benedict is going to retire. It’s unique, but not unheard of. Besides, the man’s virtually exhausted himself in the service of the Church. For what it’s worth, God has this matter under control, too. Lent reminds us of our earthly nature, in contrast to the divinity of God; He alone is perfect. It is incumbent upon all of us to accept each other with humility and love; this is the Way of the Cross. May acceptance and forgiveness always be evident, with grace and truth. ‘These were more noble…they searched the scriptures daily…’ On the one hand, there is a beautiful simplicity to the message of Christ. Yet some would try to make it too simple, by leaving out this part or that. Concerning the subject of salvation, for instance, there are those who try to say, “this is the only thing you need to be saved,” with the “only thing,” changing from speaker to speaker. Yet the entirety of our salvation cannot be reduced to a single action or a single cause; there are several things at work in the saving of a soul, at least according to the Bible. To do so is to depart from the truth. This is why it is so dangerous when any man, creed, or group tries to tell people, “you are saved by X, and X only.” The Bible teaches a multitude of things necessary for the salvation of an individual, so that if any one of them are missing, salvation must be absent. Let us consider very briefly a few of these things scripturally necessary for salvation in connection to passages of scripture. Grace: Paul wrote to Titus, “For the grace of God that brings salvation has appeared to all men.” (Titus 2:11) The word grace most often denotes favor resulting in a gift or blessing being bestowed upon a recipient; and though many conflate grace and mercy, grace is a much broader idea, so that Paul can write to the Corinthians and call their faith, knowledge, earnestness, and even their ability to be charitable, “Grace.” (cf. 2 Corinthians 8:7) That being said, without God’s grace there would be no salvation. All salvation is a gift, undeserved, for which men should be thankful. Mercy: Again from Paul’s epistle to Titus, we read, “He saved us, not because of works done by us in righteousness, but according to his own mercy, by the washing of regeneration and renewal of the Holy Spirit,…” (Titus 3:5). We are fortunate that God is a loving, merciful God, who wants to save us, despite our failings. If He was not merciful, there would be no salvation possible. Christ: There can be no salvation without Christ. As Peter confessed, “there is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved.” (Acts 4:12). If Christ had not come to Earth, there would be no avenue of salvation, for there would be no agent of salvation. The Blood of Christ: Christ coming to earth was not enough to save men, it was necessary for Him to die in order to provide atonement. “In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, ac- cording to the riches of his grace,” (Ephesians 1:7). If there is no blood, there is no forgiveness. The Resurrection of Christ: “And if Christ has not been raised, your faith is futile and you are still in your sins.” (1 Corinthians 15:17). As it is impossible to be saved while still in sin, we can say that without the resurrection there would be no salvation. The Gospel: Christ death is only effective for those that know about it and respond to it. Thus Paul writes, “I am not ashamed of the Gospel of Christ, for it is the power of God unto salvation…” (Romans 1:16). Men without the gospel are lost, and there is no salvation until the Gospel is heard. Love for the Truth: Just having access to the Gospel is not enough. One must have a genuine love for the truth in order to be saved, otherwise that person will harden their hearts and turn away from the truth (cf. Matthew 13:19). Thus Paul tells the Thessalonians that there are “those who are perishing, because they refused to love the truth and so be saved.” (2 Thessalonians 2:10) Once truth is received, a man is still not saved, however. He must respond to that truth in obedience. There are many more ingredients of salvation that we might list, if time permitted, each of them in their own way just as vital as anything we have already mentioned. Consider just a few of the things the Bible says that God requires of us before we can be saved: faith (cf. Hebrews 11:6), a confession of Christ (cf. Matthew 10:32), repentance (cf. Luke 13:3), baptism (cf. Acts 22:16, 1 Peter 3:21), a forgiving heart (cf. Matthew 6:15), and faithfulness to God (cf. Revelation 2:10). These are just some of the more obvious things the bible speaks of in connection to our salvation. We could name others if we had the time. The point of this is, if a man were to say, “We are saved by grace, and grace only,” he is lying, whether knowingly or not. Even if you include all that God does for us under “grace,” there is still a response required by men to the gospel, otherwise why preach the gospel? Grace is fulfilled in the obedience of men. Likewise, if someone says, “we are saved by faith, and faith only,” they have departed from the truth, for our faith must be founded in that which God has done and apart from the actions of God, our faith is worthless. Salvation required God to act on our behalf and He did. Salvation also requires us to respond to God’s grace, and we should. We should never try to isolate any one aspect of salvation apart from the rest but should instead seek the full plan of salvation, recognizing that every vital and necessary part is just that: vital and necessary. God’s Will – A Chance or a Choice? How would you describe the process by which you find and do God’s will in your life? For some, finding God’s will is like playing tractor square dance or bumper cars. We keep dancing around until we are pleased and happy with the dance, or keep Alex Colon going in one direction until we Pastor bump into an obstacle, turn, and go in another you keep direction. Not to mention, getting or creating whip lashes in the process. It is a constant process of elimination, failure, or success. Is this the way God would have us find His will? No, not at all. Perhaps this process is more like a home furnace. The furnace is designed to give you heat in the winter and cool air in the summer. As long as it charged and main- tained it will service you properly, it will work according to what it was designed to do. There are no abrupt headon collisions, simply a constant airflow. Occasionally, we experience a malfunction, such as the lack of Freon or the coils freezing (as in our case today), which the heat pump would need extra care. For those times, God allows us to stretch our normal response to change and work on our faith and trust in him. Finding and doing God’s will always require change, maintenance, faith and trust. Someone once complained that he did not know what God wanted for his life. His friend’s immediate response was, “How much time do you spend with God in Bible study, prayer, and meditation on Scripture?” “Only a few minutes a day,” he replied. How can we expect to hear and discern God’s voice if we don’t spend focused time with Him? If you have a spouse, how did you get to know him or her before you were married? You spent time together. You’ve got to know everything about each other. Our walk with God is no different. It isn’t enough to have a desire to follow God; we must put our energy into getting to know Him. His will for us flows out of our relationship with him, it is not an end in itself. Commit yourself to seeking Him more in your life by spending more time with Him. “Call to Me and I will answer you and tell you great and unsearchable things you do not know” (Jeremiah. 33:3). “Seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and everything else will be added to you.” (Matthew 6:33) Make it a Great Day!

It started with God choosing a man by the name of Abraham. God’s chosen people eventually became the physical descendants of Abraham through God’s designated lines of Abraham’s son, Isaac, grandson, Jacob, and the physical descendants of Jacob’s twelve sons. What are the ramifications of teaching that the Jewish people are no longer the chosen people of God? First, if anything, it involves us in a dangerous game about which God will hold people and nations accountable for their attitude and actions toward Israel. The Scripture insists that God will curse those peoples and nations that curse Israel. Be careful, churches, what you teach and lead people to believe concerning the chosen status of the people of God. It has a damning influence. Another part of the dangerous game of denying that Israel constitutes God’s chosen people is how it pointedly desensitizes church people to the sovereignty of God, to the Word of God, to the salvation plan of God, and to the plans and purposes of God as it involves end-time events. Second, to believe that the physical descendants of Abraham no longer have the special status of being God’s chosen people is to make God out to be a liar. Why would this be true? It is because of the specific promises included in four major covenants God made as it involves the physical descendants of Abraham. These four covenants Scripturally delineated and dedicated to the line of the Jews are referred to as the Abrahamic Covenant, the Palestinian Covenant, the Davidic Covenant, and the New Covenant. God still has certain plans and purposes as it involves His special-called people associated with these covenants. To teach that God has cancelled His specified promises to Israel is make God out to be a liar. If I were to fall prey to that teaching, I would also come to believe that I cannot have confidence in a lying God. Perhaps that is the insidious bot- tom line of it all. Apostle Paul stipulated pointedly concerning the special-called status of Israel, “God has not cast away His people which He foreknew…” Furthermore, according to Scripture, Israel will cease being God’s chosen people when the sun stops shining and the moon stops reflecting the shine. If that ever happens, He said, “…I will cast off the seed of Israel.” Well, although I have not seen much of the sun or much of the moon in recent days, I am quite sure and rather confident each is still doing what it was created by God to do. So, as far as Israel is concerned, would you happen to have a clue as to what that might mean? �Friday, February 15, 2013 www.mydailysentinel.com The Daily Sentinel • Page 5 Meigs County Church Directory Fellowship Apostolic Church of Jesus Christ Apostolic Van Zandt and Ward Road.

(AP) — There’s a buzz about NASCAR and the season-opening Daytona 500 that has nothing to do with an exploding jet dryer or a welltimed tweet from a driver. The new Gen-6 race car makes its long-awaited debut at Daytona International Speedway, and the success of the 2013 season could depend heavily on its performance. Already, things look good. After all, NASCAR’s most popular driver has given the Gen-6 a ringing endorsement. “This sport is going to be revolutionized again with this car,” Dale Earnhardt Jr. said after one of his first full test sessions in the car. That’s the shot in the arm NASCAR is looking for after a 2012 season that saw the quality of the racing criticized at times. Long green-flag runs and a lack of cautions frustrated fans, and that irritated drivers who openly wondered if fans were more interested in wrecking than they were in racing. Behind the scenes, NASCAR was working hard on a new car that would replace the “Car of Tomorrow” after six years, and hopefully improve the on-track product. It was welcome news to Earnhardt, who won 17 races in the “old” car but only two after the CoT was introduced during the 2007 season. “I struggled with the old car,” he said. “I think the rest of the car is definitely a step back toward the old, original car we used to have. I think that’s going to benefit me in certain areas. The car is really exciting. I’m looking forward to it.” So is NASCAR, which has worked with manufacturers and teams on both the look of the car and how it drives. The result is a car that resembles what the automakers sell in the showroom and a design that allows fans to tell if the car is a Chevrolet, Ford or Toyota. And just in case a fan wasn’t that car savvy, the drivers’ names and the manufacturer logo will all be on the windshield this year as NASCAR attempts to make the car as big a star as the driver. The car’s debut comes Saturday night at Daytona in the Sprint Unlimited exhibition race, where fans can vote on various elements of the race format. It has created interest in Speedweeks, which last year were remembered most for Juan Pablo crashing into a jet dryer loaded with fuel and Brad Keselowski See NASCAR ‌| 10 Kent Sanborn photo | southernohiosportsphotos.com Meigs senior Delilah Fish (10) leaps for a rebound over an Ironton player during Wednesday night’s Division III sectional semifinal girls basketball contest at Jackson High School. Lady Marauders fall to Ironton, 60-41 Bryan Walters bwalters@civitasmedia.com JACKSON, Ohio — It was a tale of two halves for the Meigs girls basketball team Monday night during a 6041 setback to Ironton in a Division III sectional semifinal matchup at Jackson High School in Jackson County. The 15th-seeded Lady Marauders (4-19) kept pace with the second-seeded Lady Tigers (18-5) for most of the first half, which included a pair of leads late in the second canto. IHS, however, forced Meigs into 15 first half turnovers, which allowed the hosts to secure a slim one-point edge at the intermission. The Lady Marauders — who finished the night with 29 turnovers — had seven consecutive giveaways to start the third period, and the Lady Tigers received six straight points from Ariel Schweickart inside to turn a one-point game into a three-possession lead around the 5:30 mark. Brittany Krautter — who missed the first two-and-ahalf minutes of the third with a faceguard malfunction — gave MHS its first points of the half on a jumper around the 4:50 mark, allowing the guests to pull to within 29-24. The Lady Marauders were never closer, as Ironton closed the period on a 16-5 surge to secure a 45-29 cushion headed into the finale. Meigs started the fourth with a 9-2 charge to pull within single digits at the midway point, but Lexie Washington sparked a 13-3 run over the final 3:13 of regulation to wrap up the 19-point decision. IHS, with the victory, will face Lucasville Valley at 4:30 p.m. Saturday in a sectional final at Jackson High School. Ironton never trailed in the first quarter en route to a 15-12 lead, but the Lady Marauders countered with a 7-1 surge to start the second canto for their first lead of the night. Kelsey Hudson hit a trifecta at the 4:02 mark for a 19-16 edge. The Lady Tigers tied it at 19 and then took a lead on a Washington basket, but Mercadies George nailed a threepointer with 58 seconds remaining for Meigs’ final lead of the night at 22-21. Taylor Hannan followed with a layup with 22 seconds left, allowing IHS to take a 23-22 lead into halftime.

Be careful not to overthink a possible financial bonus or change. Stay as grounded as possible when dealing with important life issues. A revision of your finances also might be in order. If you are single, you could find that you become unusually possessive of someone you are dating. Realize what you have to offer. If you are attached, you might consider keeping separate checking accounts. You’ll discover that many battles over money can be eliminated as a result. CAPRICORN can be controlling. The Stars Show the Kind of Day You’ll Have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult ARIES (March 21-April 19) HHH Tension surrounds financial matters, especially those involving a long-term goal. What you desire is in the offing, so just relax and look for the best path. Go with the moment, and honor an internal desire. Not everything is as you see it. Tonight: Run an errand or two on your way out. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHHHH Reconsider your options regarding a child or loved one. Sometimes you can be a rather strict authority figure. Relax, and let everyone get grounded before initiating a potentially difficult discussion. Tonight: Wherever you are, others appreciate your presence. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHHHH Rethink a decision, especially as others seem to want to do their own thing. A long-desired goal that might have seemed difficult to realize could become a reality. Think twice about an opportunity that seems to be spiraling toward you. Tonight: Do your own thing. CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHH You dance to someone’s tune. Those observing you wonder what you are responding to. When you detach, life looks different and you feel renewed. Share more of your enthusiasm with trusted friends. An immediate reaction is not a final reaction. Tonight: Where there is music. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHH You find the present activity level to be high and difficult to work with. Someone could be too direct for your taste; in fact, you might view him or her as being harsh. You would appreciate a different style, but you aren’t going to change this person. Tonight: Leader of the gang. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHHHH Reach out to someone at a distance. This person has a unique approach, but you understand where he or she is coming from. You could feel rather overwhelmed at the moment. Detach, and you will relax. Tonight: Where you can let your imagination roam. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHHH Relate to a key person directly. He or she might be unusually perceptive and could be changing right in front of your eyes. One-on-one relating will help ignite the sparks that exist between you. Keep it light, especially as you have a lot to do. Tonight: Homeward bound. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHHH Review a situation, and evaluate your expectations. Be realistic; otherwise, you might be disappointed. A bond with a child, new friend or key loved one is changing. Just observe, and you could be delighted at what happens. Tonight: Let others choose what and where. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 21-Dec. 21) HHHH Invest more time in a friendship. You really like this person, but you rarely take the time to get past the customary greetings. Make an effort in the near future to bridge the distance between you. Take time to confirm that your budget is on target. Tonight: Stay level-headed. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHHHH Your imagination gets a hold of your typically disciplined mind. You might want to get to the bottom of a problem. Pretend that you are each person involved, and you will find the right solution. Your intuition is very strong at the moment. Trust it. Tonight: How you like it. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHHH Work from home if you can. You might have pushed someone past his or her limit. Let this person know that you realize you crossed a boundary and won’t do it again. A judgment you have made no longer works, which you will see clearly soon. Tonight: Order in. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHHHH Tap into your ingenuity. Others could be delighted by a suggestion you make. Listen to what their responses are. You have the ability to see past the obvious and isolate the issue. Knock down a barrier that is hiding some vulnerability. Tonight: Hang out with a loved one.

(AP) — Walter Offut had 17 points and eight rebounds, leading Ohio to an 8263 victory over Central Michigan on Wednesday night. Reggie Keely added 14 points and Ricardo Johnson had 11 for the Bobcats (18-6, 9-1 Mid-American), who hit 10 of 21 3-pointers and shot 52 percent overall from the field. It was Ohio’s first win at McGuirk Arena since 2007. Kyle Randall scored 28 points for Central Michigan (9-15, 2-9) — the fifth straight game over 20 for the leading scorer in the Mid-American Conference. Chris Fowler had seven assists, giving him a Chippewas freshman record of 121 for the season. The Bobcats led by only four at halftime but pulled away with a 14-2 run that put them ahead 65-47 with 7:35 remaining. Pittman leads Marshall ‘past Rice, 71-70 HUNTINGTON, W.Va. (AP) — Elijah Pittman scored 22 points to lead Marshall over Conference USA-foe Rice 71-70 Wednesday night. Marshall (11-14, 4-6) entered having lost two straight and five of six.

Rice’s Julian DeBose hit a 3 to make it 71-70 with 1 second left, but the Owls (5-19, 1-9) couldn’t get the ball back for another shot. Tamir Jackson led Rice with 16 points as the Owls dropped their fourth straight. Marshall held a 31-25 advantage in rebounds. Indians sign RHP Matsuzaka to minor-league deal GOODYEAR, Ariz. (AP) — Daisuke Matsuzaka has officially joined the revitalized Cleveland Indians. The Japanese right-hander, limited to just 18 starts the past two seasons because of elbow issues, signed a minor-league contract Wednesday. The 32-year-old is being reunited with manager Terry Francona, beginning his first season with the Indians. The two spent several seasons together with the Boston Red Sox. Matsuzaka will compete to win a spot in Cleveland’s rotation. If he’s added to the 40-man roster, Matsuzaka will make $1.5 million this season. He can earn an additional $2.5 million in performance bonuses. Matsuzaka went 50-37 in six seasons with the Red Sox, who signed him to a $52 million contract in 2007. He went a combined 33-15 in his first two seasons, but is only 17-22 since 2008. He underwent reconstructive elbow surgery in 2011. Larkin, Watley head to India on State Dept program NEW YORK (AP) — Former Olympians Barry Larkin and Natasha Watley will be in India this week as envoys for a program run by the U.S. Department of State. Larkin and Watley are taking part in the State Department’s first joint baseball and softball venture to encourage youth participation in sports. Major League Baseball and USA Softball are working with the State Department. Larkin and Watley will be in India through Monday, leading clinics and talking about sports and diversity. Larkin was a Hall of Fame shortstop for the Cincinnati Reds and played in the 1984 Olympics. Watley was a softball star at UCLA and played in the Olympics in 2004 and 2008. NASCAR likely to make concussion test mandatory DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. (AP) — NASCAR will likely require baseline concussion tests for all drivers in 2014. Steve O’Donnell, NASCAR’s senior vice president of racing operations, said officials have also urged drivers to get an ImPACT test before this season. “We’ve encouraged them all to get that, with the emphasis that in 2014 that almost likely will be mandated for all of them,” O’Donnell said Thursday at Daytona International Speedway. “We’re in the process of doing that right now. We’re educating them on what it is, how it works, and we’ll come back with that for the 2014 preseason.” The test is used by many professional sports leagues, including the NFL, to assess concussions and determine when an injured athlete can safely return to play. The ImPACT test has transformed the way concussions are managed by giving a tangible measure of what’s going on in the brain. It’s a computer-based series of fast-paced quizzes involving words, pictures and colors. Scores reflect how quickly and correctly the questions are answered. Dale Earnhardt Jr. missed two races last season during the Chase for the Sprint Cup championship with a concussion. Earnhardt was checked out last year by Dr. Micky Collins, the clinical and executive director of the Sports Medicine Concussion Program at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center.

NASCAR, Waltrip honor Sandy Hook at Daytona 500 DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. (AP) — Michael Waltrip is driving the Daytona 500 for Sandy Hook. Waltrip has switched his car number to 26 for the Daytona 500 in support of the Sandy Hook Special Support Fund. The two-time Daytona 500 winner was set to drive the No. 30 Toyota for Swan Racing in a one-race deal, but the number is being changed to honor the victims. Sandy Hook is the school in Newtown, Conn., where 20 firstgraders and six adults were killed by a gunman on Dec. 14. The No. 26 car was unveiled at Daytona International Speedway on Thursday and had a black and green ribbon on the hood. Waltrip also owns Michael Waltrip Racing and all three entries will run with the “text NEWTOWN to 80888” decal for the Daytona 500 on Feb. 24. “We’re putting our whole heart around this race and this cause,” Waltrip said. NASCAR chairman and CEO Brian France, Waltrip and others in the sport visited Newtown last week and met with town officials, community leaders, first responders and victims’ families. The visit was kept quiet until the announcement at Daytona. “We hope it’s something that gives Newtown, and the citizens there and families, something to cheer for and root for, something to break up the sadness,” NASCAR president Mike Helton said.

The fireball put the Daytona 500 in the mainstream spotlight, but the racing that followed failed to entertain a wider audience. Keselowski was thrust onto the national stage with his well-timed tweets and he rode the wave all the way to his first Sprint Cup title. The win over five-time champion Jimmie Johnson was a breakthrough for Keselowski, who grabbed team owner Roger Penske his first title and proved the odd pairing of driver and owner had blossomed into an elite tandem. Now everyone gets to see what Keselowski will do for an encore. NASCAR has forbidden him from using his phone in his car, and he’ll be hard pressed to outdo his beer-chugging live television interview minutes after clinching the championship. Even harder will be defending his title as the Penske Racing organization left Dodge at the end of the year and goes into this season as a Ford team. Penske is no longer building its own engines, and will now get them from Roush Yates as a customer of Ford’s flagship team. “The move has gone very well so far,” said Penske President Tim Cindric. “It’s been a lot of work, but the relationship with Roush, I believe they’d say the same thing, is working well on both sides and we’ve got a lot of reason to believe we’ll have a very good year.” Keselowski will have a new teammate in Joey Logano, who was replaced at Joe Gibbs Racing by Matt Kenseth in the biggest driver move of the year. Kenseth left Roush Fenway Racing, where he’d spent his entire career, to join Gibbs and its volatile driver lineup of Kyle Busch and Denny Hamlin. Hamlin was a title contender through the halfway point of the 10-race Chase for the Sprint Cup title, but he stumbled at Martinsville with a mechanical failure and never recovered. Busch missed the Chase and declared 2012 “the absolute worst year of my career” after winning just one Transfer Any Prescription 60391227 & Wait Time for Single Prescription LESS THAN 15 Min. race across NASCAR’s three national series. Kenseth was replaced at Roush by twotime Nationwide champion Ricky Stenhouse Jr. If Stenhouse wasn’t under enough pressure as the replacement for the 2003 Cup champion, he’ll be under tremendous scrutiny this season as the other half of NASCAR’s current “it” couple. Danica Patrick, who is moving to a full Cup schedule this year, told The Associated Press last month that she’s dating Stenhouse after she and her husband got a divorce. The two will be racing each other for rookie of the year, but insist their relationship won’t affect how they race each other on the track. “Obviously, we’ve been racing together for a couple years now, him and I have always gotten along, we’ve always had a lot of respect for each other on the track, there’s never been an issue out there,” she said. “I always say I’ll race people how they race me until they do something to make me change my mind. I don’t anticipate that changing at all, or us having any issues on the track.” The Roush organization will also receive attention as fans watch and to see if Carl Edwards can rebound from last year’s slump. After losing the championship to Tony Stewart on a tie-breaker, Edwards went through a winless 2012 season and failed to make the Chase. And, four-time champion Jeff Gordon will be starting fresh after his controversial close to 2012. He intentionally wrecked Clint Bowyer in Phoenix, triggering a garage-area melee between their crews. While many thought Gordon should have been suspended, he was fined $100,000 and raced in the season finale, which he won. The tension lingered between Bowyer and Gordon into the offseason. “Listen, I’m not here to make friends,” Gordon said. “I like his friendship. It can stay this way. But we have to race each other. I know what this all came about from and he might not agree and I’m sure we’re going to disagree about a lot of things and we’ll go race … and see what happens.” Receive a 10 $ Gift Card 112 E.
