In the recently released report on “Food Hardship in America 2012,” conducted by the Gallup organization as part of the GallupHealthways Well-Being Index, the Midwest was listed as having 20.5 percent of households reporting food hardship. The question asked in the Gallop poll to the thousands of households surveyed was “Have there been times in the past 12 months when you did not have enough money to buy food that you or your family needed?” Overall in the United States 18.2 percent of households answered “yes” to the question. The report indicates that the continuing high rate of food hardship in 2012 is evidence of the lingering effects of the recession with its high unemployment and underemployment, stagnant and falling wages. It describes food hardship as unacceptable, as a “national scourge that harms children, working-age adults and seniors, harms health, learning and productivity, and drives up health and other costs for families.” The report comes at a time when government assistance to agencies providing food to those in need is being cut. In a Sentinel news story earlier this week it was noted that the Meigs County Council on Aging’s support from federal and state agencies for providing meals on wheels to homebound seniors had been cut again for this year and that there are indications that another 10 percent will be cut in the next few See HUNGER ‌| 3 Gentile introduces Water to Every Residence bill Staff Report tdsnews@civitasmedia.com Submitted photo Youth attending last year’s youth hunting and fishing day learned hunter’s safety tips for club members and ODNR officers.

COLUMBUS — State Senator Lou Gentile (D-Steubenville) recently announced that his Water Access to Every Residence bill has been introduced in the Senate. Senate Bill 37 is a bi-partisan effort with Senator Cliff Hite (R-Findlay) that will create a task force to identify areas of Ohio in which clean drinking water is not readily available. Senators Gentile and Hite serve together as the top members on Senate Agriculture Committee. As a member of the Ohio House, Gentile was able to pass the legislation unanimously. The bill died in the Senate in the last General Assembly. “Water quality and access problems continue to be a major challenge in Appalachia Ohio, it’s time the legislature take action on this issue,” said Gentile. “This is an important issue that I remain committed to working on. I think this is something we can all agree on — regardless of party, or where in the state you live. Ohioans deserve affordable access to clean drinking water.” In a February newsletter, the Ohio Municipal League cited that Gentile’s Water Access bill was of interest to them because it addressed a problem effecting municipalities. The Ohio Municipal League is an Ohio non-profit statewide association of city and village officials serving the interests of Ohio municipal government. “Community agencies all across the state are working hard with the resources they have to provide clean drinking water to their residents. We have an obligation as state leaders to support the efforts of our local communities and this legislation is a good first step,” said Gentile. Prior to joining the Ohio Legislature, Gentile served as the Assistance Director of the Governor’s Office of Appalachia where he worked closely with rural communities across Appalachian Ohio helping them to develop their infrastructure and investing in job growth initiatives. Senate Bill 37 requires the Task Force to develop strategies for providing access to potable drinking water, including strategies for financing drinking water projects. The Task Force will operate at no financial cost to the state. ‘Water and You’ theme for annual photo contest Staff Report tdsnews@civitasmedia.com POMEROY — The Leading Creek Watershed Group and the Meigs Soil and Water Conservation District are accepting entries for their ninth amateur photo contest.

Husted: Include updating UN approves new voter registration as part sanctions against of daylight saving checklist North Korea COLUMBUS — Ohio Secretary of State Jon Husted’s office is urging Ohio voters to plan ahead when they “spring forward” this Sunday, March 10, 2013 as part of Daylight Saving Time. When they change their clocks and smoke detector batteries, Husted encourages all Ohioans to check their voter registrations and change their addresses (if necessary). All of this can be done via Husted’s one-stop voter information website at www.MyOhioVote.com. 60396928 This five-minute task will ensure voters can participate in this year’s local elections with ease. Husted noted the most common reason Ohio voters are required to vote a provisional ballot rather than a regular ballot is because they have moved and not updated their address for voting purposes. “Planning ahead always makes for a smoother Election Day and a better experience for voters,” Husted said. “By ensuring their information at the board of elections is up-to-date now, voters can request an absentee ballot to vote by mail or go to the polls throughout the year without any hassle.” Key Dates and Deadlines in 2013 Ohio voters planning to go to the polls to vote in the May 7, 2013 Primary Election should have their voting information updated no later than voter registration deadline on April 8, 2013. The General Election will take place on November 5, 2013, and some communities may choose to place local issues on the ballot this summer as part of the August 6, 2013 Special Election.

Security Council voted unanimously Thursday for tough new sanctions to punish North Korea for its latest nuclear test, and a furious Pyongyang threatened a nuclear strike against the United States. The sanctions drafted by North Korea’s closest ally, China, and the United States send a powerful message that the international community condemns the ballistic missile and nuclear tests — and repeated violation of Security Council resolutions. “Adoption of the resolution itself is not enough,” China’s U.N. Ambassador Li Baodong said. “We want to see full implementation of the resolution.” Li also urged calm and a resumption of the stalled six-party talks aimed at denuclearizing the Korean peninsula. “The top priority now is to defuse the tensions, bring down heat … bring the situation back on the track of diplomacy, on negotiations.” Immediately before the vote, an unidentified spokesman for Pyongyang’s Foreign Ministry said the North will exercise its right for “a preemptive nuclear attack to destroy the strongholds of the aggressors” because Washington is “set to light a fuse for a nuclear war.” The statement was carried by the North’s official Korean Central News Agency, which issued no immediate comment after the Security Council vote. In North Korea, Army Gen. Kang Pyo Yong told a crowd of tens of thousands that North Korea is ready to fire long-range nuclear-armed missiles at Washington, which “will be engulfed in a sea of fire.” The White House responded by saying the U.S. is fully capable of defending itself against a North Korea ballistic missile attack. Although North Korea boasts of nuclear bombs and pre-emptive strikes, it is not thought to have mastered the ability to produce a warhead small enough to put on a missile capable of reaching the U.S. It is believed to have enough nuclear fuel, however, for several crude nuclear devices. �Friday, March 8, 2013 Death Notices Bailes Sadie Bailes, 77, of Point Pleasant, W.Va., died March 7, 2013, at her home.

In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to White-Schwarzel Funeral COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Ohio’s state government payroll fell 3 percent last year, with psychiatrists at state mental hospitals continuing to be among the top earners, according to payroll records analyzed by a newspaper. The state’s non-university payroll fell to less than $3 billion in 2012, after staying roughly the same in 2010 and 2011, The Columbus Dispatch reported in a story published Thursday. Dr. Zinovi Goubar, a psychiatrist at a state psychiatric hospital in Northfield, near Cleveland, made the most money at more than $335,000 last year — including $177,720 in overtime. He was the only state employee to top $300,000 annually and was the state’s top earner for the fourth straight year. The analysis showed that 21 of the state’s top 23 earners and 17 of the top 20 overtime earners are from the Ohio Department of Mental Health. The agency had 238 employees who made more than $100,000 last year, with a total payroll of $271 million. Department of Mental Health spokeswoman Trudy Sharp said the agency’s expenses, including payroll, are high because it must maintain professional care 24 hours a day, seven days a week at all six psychiatric hospitals. The agency serves an average of 1,000 patients at any point during the year. “It’s a fixed cost,” Sharp said. “Each hospital has to cover 5,000 hours beyond the 40-hour week. To provide that coverage in any other way wouldn’t save the state money.

Ohio Amish face Ohio’s state payroll drops slightly in 2012 unfamiliar life in prison the most fiscally responsible way to cover 24/7 operations.” Dr. Andrew D. Eddy, who oversees the entire medical system for state prisons, was the second highest-paid state employee. He made nearly $289,000 last year, with no overtime. Gov. John Kasich was paid $148,347 in salary in 2012. ?Personal-leave pay for state employees more than doubled to $21.8 million last year. That’s because personal-leave days were frozen through June 30, 2011, under a state union contract that included costsaving furlough days. Personal days were restored last year, accounting for the increase. The Dispatch obtained the payroll records through a public records request. CLEVELAND (AP) — Sixteen Amish men and women who have lived rural, self-sufficient lives surrounded by extended family and with little outside contact are facing regimented routines in a federal prison system where almost half of inmates are behind bars for drug offenses and modern conveniences such as television will be a constant temptation. Prison rules will allow the 10 men convicted in beard- and hair-cutting attacks on fellow Amish in eastern Ohio to keep their religiously important beards, but they must wear standard prison uniforms instead of the dark outfits they favor. Jumper dresses will be an option for the six Amish women, who will be barred from wearing their typical long, dark dresses and bonnets. It’s unclear where the Amish will serve their sentences, but some of the nearest options include men’s prisons in Elkton, a 90-minute drive southeast of Cleveland, and in Loretto, Pa., and women’s prisons in Lexington, Ky., and Alderson, W.Va. Some of the initial prison assignments include locations in Texas and Louisiana, according to a let- ter circulating among defense attorneys, and other assignments could come any day. Visits from family members might be difficult since they don’t drive modern vehicles. During the trial, relatives hired van drivers to take them more than 100 miles to the trial in Cleveland, where they often filled most courtroom seats. “Amish people grow up with very strong communal connections and large extended families and participating in community activities, so being suddenly severed from that and isolated would certainly be a major change,” said Donald Kraybill, a longtime Amish researcher and professor at Elizabethtown College in the heart of Pennsylvania’s Amish country. The defendants, all members of the same Amish sect, were convicted in September of hate crimes in 2011 attacks meant to shame fellow Amish they believed were straying from the strict religious interpretations espoused by the sect’s leader. Fifteen of them received sentences ranging from one to seven years; the ringleader, Samuel Mullet Sr., got 15 years. Senate committee approves gun trafficking bill WASHINGTON (AP) — The Senate Judiciary Committee approved legislation Thursday making gun trafficking a federal crime as lawmakers cast the first vote in Congress to curb firearms since December’s horrific shootings at a Connecticut elementary school. The panel was also debating bills banning assault weapons and high capacity magazines, requiring background checks for nearly all gun purchases, and providing more money for schools to buy video cameras and other safety equipment. The committee approved the gun trafficking measure on an 11-7 vote. Sen. Charles Grassley, R-Iowa, was the only Republican to vote in favor of the measure, whose chief sponsor was the panel’s chairman, Sen. Patrick Leahy, D-Vt. Evidence was abundant of partisan clashes ahead as the two parties sparred over the need to limit firearms. Leahy said he hoped senators would make significant progress this week on curbing gun violence. Grassley said everyone wants to prevent more killings like the deaths of 20 first-graders and six staffers at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn. But he said gun control does not work and accused Democrats of wanting to “impose more gun restrictions on law-abiding citizens.” All four measures were expected to pass the committee. But their fate when the full Senate considers them, probably in April, is less certain. The trafficking measure by Leahy, D-Vt., was thought to have the best prospects, while the assault weapons ban by Sen. Dianne Feinstein, DCalif., seemed to have the slimmest chance. The trafficking bill would create penalties of up to 25 years in prison for people who legally buy guns but give them to others who use them in crimes. Democrats led by Sen. Charles Schumer, D-N.Y., had hoped to reach a bipartisan deal on expanding federal background checks with conservative Sen. Tom Coburn, R-Okla. But on Wednesday, Democrats set aside their efforts to win over Coburn after weeks of talks failed to resolve a dispute over requiring that records of private sales be retained. Their inability to craft a deal with Coburn was a blow to Democrats because of his solid conservative credentials and “A” rating with the NRA. His support could have meant backing from other Senate Republicans and even moderate Democrats, including several facing 2014 re-election campaigns in GOP-leaning states. In addition, supporters of curbing guns say the Senate will have to approve legislation with strong bipartisan support to boost their chances of success in the GOP-led House. Republican leaders there have said they won’t act until the Senate produces legislation. Democrats said they would negotiate with other Republicans and would not give up on eventually cutting a deal with Coburn. “We’re confident plenty of senators already understand that this is the sweet spot where good policy and politics meet,” said Mark Glaze, director of Mayors Against Illegal Guns, a gun- curb group led by New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg and Boston Mayor Thomas Menino whose membership includes more than 800 mayors. Expanding the checks is the cornerstone and most popular part of Obama’s effort to rein gun violence. They are now mandated only for sales by the nation’s 55,000 federally licensed gun dealers, not for private sales between individuals, like those at gun shows or online. An Associated-Press-GfK poll in January found 84 percent favored requiring background checks at gun shows. Other proposed gun curbs were supported by just over half the public. Hunger From Page 1 months. According to Beth Shaver, executive director of the Council on Aging, this is the first time in the 41 year history of the agency that those requesting home delivered meals have had to go on a waiting list. “We simply cannot afford to take on more people. We have reached a limit,” she said. Cuts have also been made to the meal program for seniors who take lunch at the Center. In both instances for many of the elderly the home delivered meals and the congregate senior luncheons are the only nutritious meals they have and sometimes the only one they have in a day. Food pantries in several locations around the county remain a source for many families in need of food, but they too are struggling to supply the ever-increasing demand for food. The Meigs Cooperative Parish, which is the largest agency distributing food donated by church- es, organizations, business and individuals has, by necessity, cut back somewhat on the amount of food they are able to provide to each family. According to the report on the Hunger in America, children from food insecure households are likely to fall behind in their academic development compared to other children. Research showed that food insecurity impairs academic development of young school-age children, that the reading and mathematical skills of children from homes where food is inadequate developed significantly more slowly than other children. Recognizing that nutrition is a critical component to learning ability, schools now serve not only luncheons but breakfasts to the children and in some instances a fruit or vegetable snack during the day. A well filled snack tray is available to the children at the Meigs Elementary School, thanks to special grant funding secured by Christy Musser, Meigs Local food service director. Not only does inadequate food create lessened learning skills, but insufficient nutrition puts children at risk for illness and weakens their immune system. As a result their ability to not only learn but to grow and fight infections is adversely affected. Nine states, one of which is Ohio, exhibited significant higher household food insecurity rates than the rest of the United States.

Taking the top award for teams in the tournament was Maysville High School (Zanesville) with a score of 3,397 points, according to ODNR. The top male and female archers were determined by a shoot-off between the top three boys and top three girls from each division — elementary, middle school and high school. At the conclusion of the shoot-off, Clay Williams, a freshman at Philo High School, and Katie Ruffner, a sophomore at Logan High School, were announced as the overall male and female champions.

Waynedale High School received this year’s spirit award for demonstrating enthusiasm and sportsmanship during the competition. A total of 1,446 archers from 78 teams competed in the 2013 tournament, which is an increase from 1,319 archers last year. Each competitor could score a maximum of 300 points by shooting arrows as close to the center of a target as possible. Awards were given for teams and individuals with high scores in the elementary, middle school and high school divisions. Thirty-four Ohio teams received qualifying scores, making them eligible to participate in the NASP National Invitational Tournament in Louisville.

In those moments of proclamation, they have the awesome task and burden to speak to the people on behalf of Almighty God. It is a dynamic Ron Branch and holy exchange Pastor that goes on during the delivery of a message from the Book. The hope of the saints depends on it. The eternity of the unsaved is affected by it. The morality of a people is guided by it. The demonstration of the Spirit and of power is manifested in it. Preaching is that critical experience whereby our faith is strengthened to stand, not in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God. Men who rightly divide the Word of God do not promote what they perceive as the truth, but rather what God says is the truth. They courageously stand and say, “THUS SAITH THE LORD!” They do not attempt to give rhyme and reason to the Scripture, but they rather emphasize faith that accepts as infallible the truths of God, for “faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the Word.” People may resist God’s truth, but the preacher insists on God’s truth. Furthermore, men called to preach possess a passion. They possess a passion for God. They are motivated by love for Jesus Christ. They burn inwardly with the drive to declare God’s truth. The prophet Jeremiah, during a time of discouragement, decided to quit preaching. He said, “I will not make mention of Him, nor speak any more in His name” (Jeremiah 20:9). But, he said, “His word was in mine heart as a burning fire shut up in my bones.” Jeremiah went on to say that he got weary from trying to hold the Word of God back, and could not hold it in. He was soon back on the circuit. That is the way it is with a man called to preach. He has to preach because God has instilled the Word in his heart to preach. A man called to preach who does not preach dies a slow, agonizing death during life. God has chosen preaching as the means whereby His message to this spiritually desperate world is manifested. Church, if you have a man who preaches the fundamental truths of God, respect the man, not for who he is, but for what he does. If he proclaims “Thus saith the Lord” as it is proven in Jesus Christ, then embrace and incorporate the Word in your lives, and treat it as your most valued possession. “Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds out of the mouth of God.” You see, the man called to preach is a man put on the spot. What the man of God does is referred to as “the foolishness of preaching.” By standing to declare Biblical tenets, such a man becomes engaged in God’s ordained method of confronting the mystery of human free will. To the world, preaching appears as foolishness, but the foolishness of God is wiser than men. To the world, preaching appears as a weak approach by God, but the weakness of God is stronger than men. It prevails upon us, therefore, to consider the strain that weighs on a preacher. The man is situated between the hostility and rebelliousness of human nature, and the demands of God’s holy expectations. But, a man whose heart burns for God is virtually oblivious to the former, and dedicated to the latter. “How beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of him that bringeth good tidings, that publishes peace; that brings good tidings of good, that publishes salvation; that say unto Zion, THY GOD REIGNETH” (Isaiah 52:7). aggressively worship Him “in spirit and in truth” by the very real presence of the Holy Spirit himself. There is nothing bogus, contrived, or of any pretense whatsoever when God is truly exalted and worshipped! It’s likely we’ve all heard the saying, “It is what it is.” To an indifferent observer of a typical Sunday morning worship service, perhaps they conclude as much; but, for better or worse, what we have to offer the Lord directly determines the essence and extent of our actual worship of the Lord — i.e., what we personally experience and/or others observe. Years ago I was advised that “you only get out of something what you put into it.” Boil this down, and the result is your basic quid-pro-quo scenario, an exchange of one thing for another — which is sort of what the worship of God amounts to. The more of our self we put into our worship of God, the more we realize how finite and inadequate we are in relation to God’s eternal and omnipotent nature, the greater then will be our humility and truthfulness. Furthermore, the more of our self we repent of and surrender to God, the more room in our hearts and lives for God’s peace and presence. God wants us to know His abiding presence and abundant peace, but that can’t happen when, instead, we’re obsessing about having things our way. Never mind what our culture says about right and wrong being a matter of personal choice, that morality is “relative” to the individual; the Bible says otherwise, that to flaunt God’s authority is to flirt with disaster of epic proportions (Hos. 8:7, Gal. 6:7). For those who have “issues” with worship, research this: Where in God’s word is it written that you are entitled to be fed when you attend church … that the music must meet with your approval … that the various prayers prayed must warm the cockles of your heart … that the service itself, from start to finish, can run no longer than sixty minutes — at which time you then are to be sent forth 100 percent equipped, fortified and uplifted for the whole of the next week? Where is this pseudo-spiritual, selfish malarkey found in the Bible? It is not the case that God owes us this or that; after all, God is “no respecter of persons” (Acts 10:34). Were we to get our act together, we’d be agreed we are neither God nor gods, that we exist to worship the One True God, and to serve others in His name. If we’re too busy or stubborn to worship the Lord, or if we’re only in church to “game” God, let’s not assume God doesn’t know this! A Church is only as effective as those who are its weakest links — i.e., those who don’t attend, care, pray or worship. Do support yours, with your prayers, presence, gifts and service I might add; the two of you need each other!

They shall speak of the glory of Your kingdom and tell of Your power, to make known to the children of man Your mighty deeds, and the glorious splendor of Your kingdom. Your kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and Your dominion endures throughout all generations. The LORD is faithful in all His words and kind in all His works” (Psalm 145:9-13 ESV). Having discussed how Bible study, prayer, and worship are all necessary parts of building your faith, for that faith to take on the dimension of leveraging for you a meaningful and satisfying significance, it now needs the power and strength that comes only through application. For your faith to grant you the sweet and savory flavor of fulfillment, you must allow your faith to overtake every other dimension of your life. Your material resources are a great place to start. Most folks are worried about their material well being. Maybe you are, too. But here is a great place to start experiencing God’s power. If you are His child, apply what His Word teaches you in regard to material possessions. Pursue His kingdom rather than the accumulation of stuff. Don’t worry about what you don’t have, but seek His will and trust Him to provide for your needs. Remember that “your stuff” is really His stuff and that it has been entrusted to you to use for His glory. So employ a spirit of generosity (in tithing in your church but also in the helping of others in need). Another area of life to begin the application of faith is in the area of service. Are you serving God through a local body of Believers? Are you joining with other Christians in the work of ministering to others in need? Have you ever participated in a mission trip? Are you contributing your talents and gifts, knowledge and experience to the work of God’s people in sharing God’s love? If not, stop holding back. Remember that in every area you feel weak, there is a vacuum waiting to be filled up with the power of God. So now let the word “faith” take on a new meaning in your life as you offer yourself to Him for His glory. “I appeal to you therefore, brothers, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, which is your spiritual worship. Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect” (Romans 12:1-2 ESV).

This often shows up in failing to perform what they committed to do in an unsatisfactory way. Sometimes, this is a result of a downright failure of the believer to perform with excellence. In other cases, it may be a misunderstanding in the midst of the service that causes strife and division instigated by the enemy. The result in both cases is the same: a division among Christians and even nonChristians, further resulting in a damaged witness for Christ. The apostle Peter admonishes us to “live such good lives among the pagans that, though they accuse you of doing wrong, they may see your good deeds and glorify God on the day He visits us” (1 Pet. 2:12). There are times when each of us is thrust into situations out of our control. Sometimes this results in our inability to pay a bill on time, or to deliver a service. Defeating satan in these battles requires extra communication with those with whom we are dealing. If the motive of your heart is to do right, then God will give you favor in order to work through these difficult spots. Ask God today to show you where the enemy is seeking to make you ineffective. We wage a spiritual war that is not flesh and blood. We must fight this war with spiritual weapons found in the scriptures given for a kingdom purpose.

Stephen Hawkins The Associated Press Indiana was the NCAA’s last undefeated men’s team in 1976. North Carolina had Michael Jordan and James Worthy while winning the national championship in 1982, a decade before Duke won the tournament on the back of Christian Laettner’s buzzer-beating basket. So which is the best team in NCAA tournament history? Or is it one of Kentucky’s squads — the 34-win team in 1996, or the freshman-filled one that won a record 38 games last season? All are among are some of the top vote-getters so far as part of the NCAA’s celebration of the 75th anniversary of March Madness. The celebration includes an effort to determine the best team, most memorable moment and best players, all decided upon by fans voting at www.ncaa.com/ MarchMadness through March 24. Early results from nearly two months of voting were released Thursday. Laettner’s big shot in 1992, for an NCAA regional final overtime victory over Kentucky, is among the memorable moments getting the most votes among 35 under consideration. Others include North Carolina State’s victory over Houston in 1983, and Earvin “Magic” Johnson leading Michigan State over an undefeated Indiana State team with Larry Bird in 1979. All those players are getting plenty of votes among 75 that made the ballot, a list filled with names like Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Wilt Chamberlain, Patrick Ewing, Jordan, Bill Russell, Isiah Thomas and Bill Walton. Dan Gavitt, NCAA vice president of men’s basketball championships, said the group is pleased with voter turnout and fascinated by the early results. “A handful of moments and a dozen or so of the teams have started to separate themselves from their competition,” Gavitt said. “But the race to determine the top 15 all-time players is tight. … It includes players who are more than five decades removed from being college stars, most outstanding players at the Final Four in the last decade, and many all-time greats in between.” The original lists were compiled and researched by the NCAA’s basketball and statistics staffs, which consulted with the NCAA’s media partners and selected members of the U.S. Basketball Writers Association. Fans can get plenty of help in making their choices. For each of the 25 nominated teams, there is a description and other information from that particular season, along with a video clip. There is also a tool to compare different teams, the same feature that is available for the side-by-side comparison of players. There are also video highlights for all 35 memorable moment candidates, including those classic clips of Magic vs. Bird and North Carolina State coach Jim Valvano running around the court after the Wolfpack’s championship victory 30 years ago. The final results — the top 15 players, along with the top team and most memorable moment — will be revealed April 5. The final selections will be honored the next day in Atlanta during the semifinal games of the NCAA tournament.

OVP area lands 17 on AP district teams in Ohio David Santiago | El Nuevo Herald | MCT The Cleveland Cavaliers’ Kyrie Irving looks on during the first quarter against the Miami Heat at the American Airlines Arena in Miami, Florida, Sunday, February 24, 2013. The Heat defeated the Cavaliers 109-105. Irving’s knee still a concern for Cavaliers CLEVELAND (AP) — The Cavaliers won’t risk losing Kyrie Irving for any more games. On Thursday, Cleveland coach Byron Scott said he will consider shutting down his All-Star point guard, who recently missed three games with a hyperextended right knee and said after Wednesday’s comeback win over Utah that the injury was still bothering him. “If Ky is hurting, I have no problem sitting him down,” Scott said. Playing his second straight game after resting for a week, Irving scored 20 points with 10 rebounds and seven assists as the Cavs overcame a 12-point deficit in the fourth quarter and beat the Jazz 104-101. Irving scored 11 points in the final 4:21, but after the game said his knee still wasn’t 100 percent. “The only way I would get better is if I sit out for the rest of the season, and I’m not doing that,” Irving said. The comment surprised Scott, who said he will talk to Irving and trainer Max Benton before any decisions are made. “If there is any way of doing more damage by continuing to play, then I’ll find that out and we’ll go from there,” Scott said. “I want him (Irving) to go out there and play and be effective for us,” Scott said. “I don’t want him playing at 100 percent.” Irving played almost 38 minutes against the Jazz and didn’t seem to be slowed by the right knee, which he banged against teammate Omri Casspi’s knee in a practice two weeks ago. The Cavs rested their 20-year-old star for three games and he returned Monday night when Cleveland s hosted the New York Knicks. Irving did not speak with reporters following a light practice. With games almost every other day, Scott is using the off days to have his players work on their shooting and lift weights. The Cavs host the Memphis Grizzlies on Friday. Irving, the NBA’s Rookie of the Year in 2012, has missed 14 games this season with injuries. He sat out 11 games with a broken index finger and the Cavs kept him out of the other three to allow his knee time to heal. Jenna Burdette wins third POY award at Eastern, Brett Bostic named D-4 COY Bryan Walters bwalters@civitasmedia.com ATHENS, Ohio — A total of 17 local people from both Gallia and Meigs counties — 16 athletes and one coach — were chosen to the Associated Press Southeast All-District Girls Basketball teams for the 2012-13 season, as selected by a panel of AP sports writers within the southeastern Ohio area. Each county had eight players chosen to the respective teams within Division I, Division II, Division III and Division IV, which also included one player of the year choice and one coach of the year selection. Both special honors also happened to occur within the D-4 list. Eastern junior Jenna Burdette — who recently became the program’s alltime leading scorer — captured her third consecutive player of the year honor in Division IV, while ninth-year South Gallia frontman Brett Bostic was chosen as the unanimous pick for coach of the year honors. Burdette — who averaged 18.1 points and 5.3 assists per game — shared POY honors with Waterford senior Brooke Drayer for a second consecutive season, as both teams went 15-1 in TVC Hocking play while sharing the league crown. Burdette — who has given a verbal commitment to the University of See TEAMS ‌| 8 Wrestling leader puts Olympic case to IOC’s Rogge LAUSANNE, Switzerland (AP) — The acting head of wrestling’s world body met with IOC President Jacques Rogge on Thursday, promising to fight to retain the sport’s Olympic status and apologizing for the protest by wrestlers who have returned their medals. Nenad Lalovic, interim FILA president, said Rogge outlined the difficult task wrestling faces in a race among eight sports seeking one vacancy on the program for the 2020 Games. “He said that everybody has to earn their place,” Lalovic said after the 40-minute meeting at International Olympic Committee headquarters. “I don’t see any other way” but hard work, the Serbian official acknowledged, in persuading the IOC to reverse last month’s surprise recommendation by the executive board to cut wrestling from the 2020 program. Lalovic also apologized to Rogge for the wrestlers who have sent back their Olympic medals to the IOC in anger. “I was the first to say that, ‘I’m very sorry that it happens,’” Lalovic said. Saturday, March 9 “I strongly believe it is not good for Girls Basketball wrestling. This is not something that D-4 Regional Final EHS-Mohawk winner vs. Waterford-NCHS winner at is going to help us.” Pickerington North HS, 7:30 Earlier Thursday, Andrzej Supron OVP Sports Schedule Kent Sanborn photo/southernohiosportsphotos.com Eastern junior Jenna Burdette (14) releases a trifecta attempt over South Gallia defender Sara Bailey, left, during the first quarter of a Division IV district championship game held Sunday at the Ohio University Convocation Center in Athens, Ohio. of Poland pledged to return his silver medal in the Greco-Roman lightweight division won at the 1980 Moscow Olympics. Sagid Murtazaliyev of Russia and Valentin Yordanov of Bulgaria have said they would return gold medals, while two-time Olympic champion Armen Nazaryan of Bulgaria has gone on a hunger strike. “Of course, we can’t control individual activities and we can’t stop them,” Lalovic said. The IOC board will meet on May 29 in St. Petersburg, Russia, to recommend a short list of sports to be considered for inclusion in 2020. The final decision will be made by the full IOC membership at their assembly in September in Buenos Aires, Argentina. A combined baseball-softball bid, roller sports, sport climbing, squash, wakeboarding, and the martial arts of karate and wushu are the other sports vying for 2020 inclusion. The IOC described the meeting with Lalovic as “productive.” “A wide range of topics was discussed and the IOC looks forward to continued collaboration with FILA in the coming months and in the run-up to the Rio 2016 Olympic Games,” the Olympic body said. FILA is seeking to harness global support for its campaign, which has brought together the United States, Russia and Iran in a rare show of unity. FILA has appealed for wrestlers to stop their protests through a message from Russian great Alexander Karelin, newly recruited to its athletes committee. “We would like to request each of you to redirect your passions,” the message on the FILA website stated. “We appreciate your tenacity and understand that complacency is not in your DNA. “Nonetheless, returning your gold medal is counterproductive. Before the practice escalates, we urge you to keep your Olympic medals and celebrate your achievement.” Karelin’s appointment is among a slate of modernizing changes FILA made since being rocked by the Feb. 12 decision. Its president, Swiss businessman Raphael Martinetti, resigned within days. “We were sleeping on our ears,” said Lalovic, who will be a candidate in a presidential election scheduled in the coming weeks. �Friday, March 8, 2013 LEGALS Lease 2 office spaces for lease Former G&J Building in Pomeroy 60392358 1152 sq.

Burdette, however, was not the only selection for Eastern — which led the area with five selections. Junior Jordan Parker was a second-team selection, while junior Erin Swatzel earned third-team accolades. Parker averaged 12.5 points and 4.6 rebounds per game, while Swatzel regularly chipped in 10.1 points and 8.3 rebounds a night. EHS — which currently owns a 21-4 overall mark headed into Land (Acreage) regional play — also had a pair of special mention choices in senior Savannah Hawley and junior Katie Keller. Only Hawley is a first-time selection to the D-4 teams for the Lady Eagles. Bostic, on the other hand, was rewarded with COY accolades after guiding the Lady Rebels to their first district final in over a decade while matching a school record for wins after a solid 19-6 campaign. Though SGHS also had five representatives on the D-4 teams, only four of the selections were players. Seniors Meghan Caldwell and Ellie Bostic were both chosen to the second-team after posting near-identical point totals throughout the season.

You will need time to center yourself, rethink situations and make important decisions. You also will enjoy your time more at home and with family. Moving into a new home or remodeling your current home adds to your pleasure. If you are single, some of you might tie the knot or move in with a new person. Romance definitely is in the air, especially in the summertime, when the love temperature rises. If you are attached, you enter a very romantic period. AQUARIUS points the way to new experiences. 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) HHHHH Listen to news. Events evoke a strong response. You might not be aware of your limits and choices, but you likely will decide that the best place to be is in charge. Look to your long-term goals. Let go of a need to have certain things go your way. Tonight: TGIF. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHH Pressure builds. Step forward and handle situations your way. You might not be so sure of yourself once you dive into a personal matter. You will gain through your efforts. Others see you as resourceful and dynamic. Tonight: Lead your friends into some fun playtime. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHHHH Others find you to be unusually fortunate and able to deal with various types of situations. Use your skills to listen to others, and also to get past an immediate issue. Your smile helps others trust you. Do not push past your limits. Tonight: Where the good times are. CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHH Deal with others directly, and you’ll get your desired response. Your instincts guide you as to how to handle a difficult situation. You also might want to schedule a personal meeting without others knowing about it. Tonight: Quality time with a loved one. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHHHH Note how many people are looking for you. You will have many sets of plans and options for company from which to choose. Your instincts tell you “the more, the merrier.” Schedule a late lunch with a co-worker or a friend. Tonight: Do only want your heart desires. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHH You could feel burdened by someone’s requests, but you will do your best to meet them. Unfortunately, you might be the person left holding the bag at the end of the day. Do what you need to do. Follow through on an offer. Tonight: Do not take someone’s comment personally. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHHH Your playfulness emerges when dealing with others. You might want to rethink a personal matter and make an adjustment. When you change, others gradually seem to change as well. Use care with your finances, as your budget might be tight. Tonight: Start your weekend right. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHHH Your instincts point to working from home. Someone’s quirky behavior might be the direct result of a perceived coldness from you. You have options; study each one, and consider the end results. It will be crucial to know what you want. Tonight: Stay close to your pad. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHHH Use care with your finances once more, even if funds are on the plus side. Consider your checking account to be a train station, and your money the train. The train constantly is entering the station, but it leaves just as quickly. Tonight: Where the action is. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHH Watch what’s happening with a loved one. An opinion you have held for a while could change as a result of a new experience. Be resourceful in how you approach others. Know that it will take an abundance of mental and/ or physical energy to stay focused. Tonight: Head home early. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHH Decide to handle a personal matter directly. Understand more of what is happening within a key relationship. Others currently remain highly responsive to your energy. A child really enjoys being with you, and he or she is learning from you. Tonight: Let it all hang out. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHH Consider taking at least part of today off, as you need some downtime. You have been pushing very hard for various reasons. Everyone has their limits -- you included. Be smart and take care of yourself. Listen to a family member’s opinions. Tonight: Play it low-key.
