Woodward, Sr., 84 50 cents daily FRIDAY, MARCH 15, 2013 Vol. 63, No. 44 New ER in Meigs a step closer to reality Sarah Hawley shawley@civitasmedia.com POMEROY — After more than 10 years without an emergency room, it looks as through Meigs County may soon have one again. During Thursday’s Meigs County Commissioner’s meeting, a resolution was approved stating the “intention to issue industrial development revenue bonds and authorizing execution of agreements with Meigs County Community Improvement Corporation (CIC).” The resolution, approved by a unanimous vote, allows the county to undertake bonds in an amount not to exceed $5.5 million for the project. The bonds would be paid by the Meigs County CIC who would own the property. The bonds will finance a portion of the costs of the acquisition, construction and equipping of the facility. The funding negotiations being completed by the county will allow for a lower interest rate. The resolution describes the facility as a 13,000-square-foot building for a free standing emergency department on a seven-acre parcel of land in Salisbury Township on Pomeroy Pike near the intersection of U.S. 33 and Ohio 7. The property is located near the new Family Healthcare Facil- ity and the future Meigs County Emergency Operations Center. The facility will be owned by the CIC and leased by Holzer Health System, who will operate the 24hour emergency facility. “Holzer Health System is very pleased to be able to participate in establishing an Emergency Care facility in Meigs County,” said Karrie Swain Davidson, communications coordinator for Holzer Health System. “As a health system, we continually strive to enhance the services we are able to offer for the communities we serve.” Fred Williams, who serves and bond counsel from the law firm of Steptoe and Johnson PLLC, spoke with the commissioners as did Meigs County Economic Development Director Perry Varnadoe. Williams said the county and its taxpayers would not be responsible to pay back any of the money from the bonds; the CIC would be responsible for the full amount. Varnadoe estimated that the project could begin construction this summer, and the facility could begin serving patients as early as next spring. This resolution is the first step in a process necessary for the county to secure the bonds for the project. It is not a binding resolution. Prior to the passage of a final resolution on the matter, a public meeting must be held. A date for that meeting will be announced at a later date. Williams said there are two ways which bonds are sold, a public offering or a private sale to a bank who would provide funding. In this case, the bond will be done by private sale through Ohio Valley Bank. Ohio Valley Bank was represented at the meeting by Bryan Stepp, senior vice president of Commercial Lending. Meigs County has been without an emergency health care facility since Veteran’s Memorial Hospital closed in 2002. Meigs Local certifies district’s FY2014 tax rates Final Four bound!

The American Academy of Forensic Sciences is a multidisciplinary professional organization that provides leadership to advance science and its application to the legal system. The objectives of the Academy are to promote professionalism, integrity, competency, education, foster research, improve practice, and encourage collaboration in the forensic sciences.

In addition to his duties as Health Commissioner, Marshall preforms duties of Coroner’s Investigator for Dr. Doug Hunter, Meigs County Coroner. Larry Marshall POMEROY —Tax rates as determined by the Meigs County Budget Commission were accepted, and the necessary tax levies were approved for certification to the County Auditor for fiscal year 2014 by the Meigs Local Board of Education at its Tuesday night meeting. They are as follows: general 3.80 mills (inside) and 16.20 (outside-voted); bond retirement levy, 3.95 mills (voted) and new building capital maintenance levy, .50 mills (voted). The money generated through the tax levies, along with funding which comes from state and federal agencies, plus any grants coming into the system fund the educational program of the Meigs Local School District’s schools. In another action, the Board acknowledged a grant of $500 from the Exxon Educational Alliance which had been applied for by MHS Principal Steve Ohlinger for the math and science programs. The Board also entered into an agreement between Holzer Health System and Meigs High School to provide oversight of the Ohio University athletic trainer for the 2012-14 academic team and to accept the corresponding $10,000 stipend to offset that program. Personnel matters handled during the meeting including hiring David Hoover as high school assistant track coach and Dreama English as Middle School assistant track coach for the 2013 season, and accepting Tyler Brothers as a volunteer track coach, all as recommended by Mike Kennedy coach.

He also announced a training session March 25-28 for a basic course on bus driving which is the place aspiring school bus drivers must start becoming qualified to drive a bus. He also mentioned the traffic problem at the intersection of Routes 7 and 124 where the high traffic count impedes traffic, including buses, entering Route 7.

Demographic and economic analysts say the new estimates indicate that a longtime trend of migration from the nation’s Midwest and Northeast to the South and West doesn’t appear to be changing, The Cincinnati Enquirer reported. However, census estimates show Warren, Butler and Clermont counties in southwest Ohio are among 19 Ohio counties that have had population increases since the 2010 Census. “If you look around the country at the markets that have been and still are growing rapidly, almost all of them are magnets for international immigration,” said Janet Harrah, senior director of the Center for Economic Analysis and Development at Northern Kentucky University. The statewide Ohio estimates show 56 percent of the people from other countries who came to Ohio between 2010 and 2012 live in southwest Ohio’s Hamilton County, Cuyahoga County in northeast Ohio and Franklin County in central Ohio. Hamilton County, where Cincinnati is located, saw nearly 11,000 people leave for other U.S. locations since 2010. But with births exceeding deaths by about 7,200 and more than 3,400 immigrants, the county’s population remained flat at about 802,000. Harrah said jobs and education draw many immigrants to the Cincinnati area. Gary Wright, demographer and founder of Wright Futures in Cincinnati, said Hamilton County still gets most immigrants in the area and if immigration drops below current levels, “the population of Hamilton County and the region is likely to decrease.” The influx of people from other countries also helped Butler County’s population numbers the newspaper reported. The county north of Cincinnati had a population increase even though more people left the county than moved into it. Butler’s population grew 0.7 percent, according to the estimates.

New style of papacy: Pope Francis pays hotel bill VATICAN CITY (AP) — Pope Francis put his humility on display during his first day as pontiff Thursday, stopping by his hotel to pick up his luggage and pay the bill himself in a decidedly different style of papacy than his traditionminded predecessor who tended to stay ensconced in the frescoed halls of the Vatican. The break from Benedict XVI’s pontificate was evident even in Francis’ wardrobe choices: He kept the simple iron pectoral cross of his days as bishop and eschewed the red cape that Benedict wore when he was presented to the world for the first time in 2005 — choosing instead the simple white cassock of the papacy. And in his first Mass as pope, Francis showed how different he would be as a pastor, giving an off-thecuff homily about the need to walk with God, build up his church and confess — at one point referring to children building sand castles on the beach. It was a far simpler message than the dense, threepage discourse Benedict delivered in Latin during his first Mass as pope in 2005. The difference in style was a sign of Francis’ belief that the Catholic Church needs to be at one with the people it serves and not impose its message on a society that often doesn’t want to hear it, Francis’ authorized biographer, Sergio Rubin, said in an interview Thursday with The Associated Press. “It seems to me for now what is certain is it’s a great change of style, which for us isn’t a small thing,” Rubin said, recalling how the former Cardinal Jorge Bergoglio would celebrate Masses with homeless people and prostitutes in Buenos Aires. “He believes the church has to go to the streets,” he said, “to express this closeness of the church and this accompaniment with those who are suffering.” Francis began his first day as pope making an early morning visit in a simple Vatican car to a Roman basilica dedicated to the Virgin Mary and prayed before an icon of the Madonna. He had told a crowd of some 100,000 people packed in rain-soaked St. Peter’s Square just after his election that he intended to pray to the Madonna “that she may watch over all of Rome.” He also told cardinals he would call on retired Pope Benedict XVI, but the Vatican said the visit wouldn’t take place for a few days. The main item on Francis’ agenda Thursday was his inaugural afternoon Mass in the Sistine Chapel, where cardinals elected him leader of the 1.2 billion-strong church in an unusually quick conclave.

Vatican officials confirmed reports that Marini was somewhat put off by Francis’ refusal Wednesday night to wear the formal papal red cape when he emerged on the loggia overlooking St. Peter’s Square to be introduced to the crowd. Benedict was known to favor many of the trappings of the papacy, including the elaborate vestments and ceremonial gear used by popes past. Traditionalists had rejoiced with Benedict’s return to these elements of the pre-Vatican II church, arguing it was the true church and not the one spoiled by the council’s reforms. Francis, the first Jesuit pope and first non-European since the Middle Ages, decided to call himself Francis after St. Francis of Assisi, the humble friar who dedicated his life to helping the poor. The new pope, known for his work with the poor in Buenos Aires’ slums, immediately charmed the crowd in St. Peter’s, which roared when his name was announced and roared again when he emerged on the loggia of the basilica with a simple and familiar: “Brothers and sisters, good evening.” �Friday, March 15, 2013 Death Notices Bailey Wilbert Bailey, Sr., 87, of Wilkesville, Ohio, died Wednesday, March 13, 2013, surrounded by his family.

Grange banquet plans released Census shows record 1 in 3 US counties are dying Meeting From Page 1 Pomeroy, Ohio and Lubeck and Mason County in West Virginia. The criteria for participation in medical monitoring or filing a personal injury claim is not based on an individual’s current place of residence. The Marietta attorney Ethan Vessels is described as “championing the rights of the individual and educating impacted people about the C8 contamination that infiltrated several Mid-Ohio Valley water supplies as the result of manufacturing processes at DuPont Washington Works near Parkersburg, W.Va. He describes the meetings being held as “informational town hall meetings for members of the impacted communities who want to understand all the issues facing them and who may have questions about illness or medical monitoring.” C8, also known as perfluorooctanoic acid or PFOA, became the subject of a class action lawsuit against DuPont by Mid Ohio Valley residents whose water became contaminated with the man-made industrial surfactant. Science that came to light via an independent panel as a result of the lawsuit, determined that there was a “probable” link between C8 exposure and pregnancyinduced hypertension, high cholesterol, thyroid disease, ulcerative colitis and kidney and testicular cancer. People in the Mid-Ohio Valley who have been drinking C8 contaminated water may be eligible for free medical monitoring or personal injury claims. Vessels has partnered with the Akron law firm Slater & Zurz to represent people who claim they has been” victimized” by C8 on an individual basis, not as part of a class action lawsuit. He said the criteria for participation in medical monitoring or filing a personal injury claim is not based on an individual’s current place of residence. WASHINGTON (AP) — A record number of U.S. counties — more than 1 in 3 — are now dying off, hit by an aging population and weakened local economies that are spurring young adults to seek jobs and build families elsewhere. New 2012 census estimates released Thursday highlight the population shifts as the U.S. encounters its most sluggish growth levels since the Great Depression. The findings also reflect the increasing economic importance of foreign-born residents as the U.S. ponders an overhaul of a major 1965 federal immigration law. Without new immigrants, many metropolitan areas such as New York, Chicago, Detroit, Pittsburgh and St. Louis would have posted flat or negative population growth in the last year. “Immigrants are innovators, entrepreneurs, they’re making things happen. They create jobs,” said Michigan Gov. Rick Snyder, a Republican, at an immigration conference in his state last week. Saying Michigan should be a top destination for legal immigrants to come and boost Detroit and other struggling areas, Snyder made a special appeal: “Please come here.” The growing attention on immigrants is coming mostly from areas of the Midwest and Northeast, which are seeing many of Hillside Baptist Church Sunday School & Morning Worship • 10:30 am Sunday & Wednesday Evening Service • 6:00 pm Need a Ride to Church?

With a slowly improving U.S. economy, young adults are now back on the move, departing traditional big cities to test the job market mostly in the South and West, which had sustained the biggest hits in the housing bust. Also seeing big declines now are rural and exurban areas, along with industrial sections of the Rust Belt. Census data show that 1,135 of the nation’s 3,143 counties are now experiencing “natural decrease,” where deaths exceed births. That’s up from roughly 880 U.S. counties, or 1 in 4, in 2009. Already apparent in Japan and many European nations, natural decrease is now increasingly evident in large swaths of the U.S. Despite increasing deaths, the U.S. population as a whole continues to grow, boosted by immigration from abroad and relatively higher births among the mostly younger mi- grants from Mexico, Latin America and Asia. “These counties are in a pretty steep downward spiral,” said Kenneth Johnson, a senior demographer and sociology professor at the University of New Hampshire, who researched the findings. “The young people leave and the older adults stay in place and age. Unless something dramatic changes — for instance, new development such as a meatpacking plant to attract young Hispanics — these areas are likely to have more and more natural decrease.” The areas of natural decrease stretch from industrial areas near Pittsburgh and Cleveland to the vineyards outside San Francisco to the rural areas of east Texas and the Great Plains. A common theme is a waning local economy, such as farming, mining or industrial areas. They also include some retirement communities in Florida, although many are cushioned by a steady flow of new retirees each year. In the last year, Maine joined West Virginia as the only two entire states where deaths exceed births, which have dropped precipitously after the recent recession. As a nation, the U.S. population grew by just 0.75 percent last year, stuck at historically low levels not seen since 1937. Johnson said the number of dying counties is rising not only because of fewer births but also increasing mortality as 70 million baby boomers born between 1946 and 1964 move into their older years. “I expect natural decrease to remain high in the future,” he said. Among the 20 fastestgrowing large metropolitan areas last year, 16 grew faster than in 2011 and most of them are located in previously growing parts of the Sun Belt or Mountain West. Among the slowest-growing or declining metropolitan areas, most are now doing worse than in 2011 and they are all located in the Northeast and Midwest.

It was noted that all Grange masters have tickets for the banquet available for sale. Other announcements included the baking contests of apple dumplings and scones to be held May 2. Members were reminded that all pop tabs, batteries, soup labels, eye glasses, parts and cases and used hearing aid batteries are to be turned in by April 24. Inspection was announced for the April meeting which will be preceded by a chicken supper. An agricultural report concerning a new vinegar fly found on red raspberries was discussed. It was also reported that the FDA advised against using manure on leaf lettuce before it is 18 months old. Kim Romine, lecturer, used “The Ides of March” as her program topic. She defined “ides” as the 15th day of the months of March, May, July and October, and on the 13th day of all other months. She said that the first day of the Roman New Year is just one of a dozen ides that occur. Roman gave out five plants as prizes following her program. �The Daily Sentinel Faith and Family Page 4 Friday, March 15, 2013 Don’t be a holey Christian — be holy I really don’t mean Messiah of Israel, to pry into your percoming on the sonal life, but let’s heels of John the have a show of hands Baptist, the first by those of us who prophet Israel had like cheese.

Here was Just as his message went over Jesus, the designated and divine, like the proverbial lead balloon, yet controversial and unheralded John’s contemporaries were even Let the scripture direct you out of your sadness God does not want you who are a believer in Jesus Christ to be a perpetually sad person. Undoubtedly, there are things that occur in life that certainly make us sad. God is mindful of us on that account. He has given many significant truths and promises in His Word to help us work through sadness. But, it is the individual who is going through a lengthy time of sadness, or the perRon Branch son who wants to hang on to Pastor their sadness, that needs to be encouraged how to escape the grip of sadness. Let the Scripture direct you out of your sadness. It has occurred to me that the Psalmist of number 42 dealt with a protracted period of personal sadness in his life. He described his sadness in pointed terms. He twice referred to his disquieted soul, and three times to his cast-down soul. His continuing sadness was like a sword run deep in his bones. He expressed bitterness because it seemed as though God had forsaken him. He cried “day and night.” However, as you are willing to receive it, in his written description about His experience are clues that help direct us. For example, he recalls that God had helped him out of distressing circumstances in the past. He remembers sad times in “Jordon, and of the Hermonites, and from the hill of Mizar” when God delivered him victoriously mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. Back in the day, God did not want him to stay in the doldrums of sadness then, and he finally realized that God did not want him to remain in a state of sadness in his present situation. We must always keep in mind how God has helped us and ministered to us in the past. When you start the rise out of sadness by remembering God’s past help, it demonstrates giving God glory and honor, which is our constant responsibility. It is always beneficial to the soul when one aims to glorify God with faith and trust rather than remaining constantly focused on self through sadness. Furthermore, remembering how God has delivered in the past gives us hope for the present—-despite whatever is making us sad. The Scripture, therefore, directs us to hold onto the hope. “Hope you in God” leaps from this page in God’s Word. It like a loud shout directed to our spiritual ear. Hear it! Depend on it! Christian people sometimes want to remain sad when a Christian loved one passes from this life out into eternity. Unfortunately, this was the way it was for my mother concerning my dad. But, if ever there is a time to hold onto the hope to keep us moving forward with our own life is when we are faced with the physical death of a precious loved one. In order to grieve well we must hold onto the hope. What hope? Reason it. Because of Jesus Christ who conquered death, hell, and the grave, our beloved Christian saint is still alive and is living in a far better place. We do not have to be bound to the thought that we have lost them. They are not lost when you know where they are. We only serve to dishonor God with a professed faith that has been merely preached but not consequently practiced. If you believe in God, do not let your heart be constantly troubled. To help us deal with our persistent sadness, the Scripture through the experience of the Psalmist directs us to worship God. The Psalmist reported that he went with the multitude to the house of God where there was “the voice of joy and praise.” It is during worship that the countenance of God helps us. One cannot help but to be uplifted and encouraged while in the presence of God. The sadness of the Psalmist was changed when he went to church and worshipped God. Note what he wrote, “…for I shall yet praise Him for help of His countenance.” Let the Scripture direct you out of sadness. more adamant in their blatant rejection of Jesus as the incarnate Messiah in their midst. 400 years without a prophet around to contradict or convict the Jewish people afforded the Devil plentiful fertile ground, in which he sowed his seeds of apathy and complacency, pride and vanity. With the advent of John and Jesus came the claim of the Jews that their being descended from Abraham was all that mattered to God, and that they had nothing to repent of. Not one to quit while he is ahead, the Devil knew it would be a piece of cake to get the Jews and some others so agitated and riled-up they’d want rid themselves of both John and Jesus. John, as you will recall, went gunning for Herod, and took Herod down for his dual sins of adultery and incest. Not one to turn the other cheek, let alone fess up, Herod’s new wife sought, and got, John’s head. Now there was one down, one to go; but, there would be no time outs. Jesus knew Satan wasn’t finished, that he too was on Satan’s radar, and that the Devil would be relentless in his attacks upon Christians as to be an ever-present Enemy of the Church. Knowing, too, the Devil would enlist others to do his dirty work, Jesus warned against those who propose ideas and advocate practices He never endorsed, and likewise endeavor to change/corrupt/distort the Word of God as if to imply it is errant and fallible but not credible. You can read about people such as this in the Gospels of Matthew (7:15-20) and Mark (13:21-23). Theirs is more a quasi- or pseudo-Christianity than the real deal; they are like silvertongued devils who tickle your ears, but their “fruits” always speak louder than their words! Say — “Cheese!” Granted there’s a war on in Afghanistan, but how about the one here at home, in America? Over there it’s physical; here, it’s spiritual. In due time the soldiers there will come home; until the Lord calls us home, our battle is on-going and without any real end-time. The Taliban are the enemy there. Our enemy isn’t one of flesh and blood; instead, the hostiles with which we contend are “principalities, powers, the rulers of the darkness of this age, and spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places” (Eph. 6:10-12). Holey Christians are the Church’s most pitiful and vulnerable soldiers, with all the spiritual integrity of a sieve! In God’s army, only those soldiers who hang tough receive the Lord’s blessing (Rev. 2:7, 26; 21:7). Of the armor of God available to us, we have one — repeat, one — offensive weapon: i.e., “the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God” (Eph. 6:14-18). This one weapon poses the greatest threat to Satan, for it is the Truth of God — and Satan “can’t handle the Truth!” Since our familiarity with it determines our effectiveness as soldiers of Christ, does it not make sense for us to feed on it regularly?!? Don’t be a holey Christian: be holy; directions are in The Bible.

The church stands as a place and a people united together under the banner of the Lord God Almighty to love and help one another. It is a journey of faith. It is a journey of growth. It is a journey to peace beyond understanding. As we approach Holy Week, continue to read, fast and pray. Continue to seek out behaviors which become barriers to bloom and grow in the Holy Spirit. Seek Christ more and the world less. Seek growth more and the deadness of sin less. Seek love more and let go of hate and bitterness. Open your heart to the Lord and see what beauty there is in him. Open your heart to bloom and grow in doing so you will find you are living a life of Grace Out Loud! Search the Scriptures ‘These were more noble…they searched the scriptures…’ In Acts 2, when, pricked to their heart by their acknowledgment of their own sin before God, the people asked, “what shall we do?” (Acts 2:37) Peter told the crowd, “Repent and be baptized, every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ, for the remission of your sins, and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.” (Acts 2:38) Baptism, immersion into water, had been preached by both John the baptist and Jesus, but now Peter was teaching a new form of the old practice, a baptism conducted by the authority of Christ himself. The baptism commanded by Peter was one which followed after both faith and repentance, and was conducted for the express purpose of bringing about the forgiveness of sins and the gift of the Holy Spirit. The word translated into the English as “for,” in Acts 2:38, is the Greek word, “eis,” which literally means, “into,” so that Acts 2:38 can be read and understood as teaching us to be baptized, “into the forgiveness of sins.” Some years later, the apostle Peter would write concerning baptism, “There is also an antitype which now saves us – baptism (not the removal of the filth of the flesh, but the answer of a good con- science toward God), through the resurrection of Jesus Christ, who has gone into heaven and is at the right hand of God, angels and authorities and powers having been made subject to Him.” (1 Peter 3:21-22; NKJV) The ESV renders verse 21 ever more plainly, “Baptism, which corresponds to this, now saves you.” Very few people would argue that baptism, alone and of itself, saves anyone. Peter himself connects the saving efficiency of baptism with the resurrection of Jesus Christ. Moreover, the Bible presents a whole slew of things necessary for salvation, such as grace, faith, Christ, and repentance. Baptism is only one part of the greater whole. Still, anyone who tries to argue that baptism does not save you; that baptism plays no part in salvation and that a person can be completely saved without baptism; must recognize that they are in stark disagreement with the word of God, as given by the apostle Peter. Yet there are many who would teach such a doctrine. We should, however, when presented with a choice between a doctrine preached by men, and the simple teaching of God’s word, always choose to follow God’s word. Thus, “Bap- tism now saves you.” What is it about baptism that makes it so special? We should recognize that there is nothing of inherent saving value in the water itself. Water is good for bathing the flesh, but may people have gone swimming, taken baths, and otherwise submersed themselves in water without being spiritually saved. This does not make the water unimportant, for it is part of what is commanded, but it is not the water itself that has power to save. One of the things that does certainly make baptism effectual is the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus Christ. Notice again that Peter says, “Baptism,… now saves you, through the resurrection of Jesus Christ.” Paul teaches us, in Romans 6, that baptism is a reenactment of the death of Christ. The believer is buried in water just as Christ was buried in the tomb, and the believer comes up out of the water, just as Jesus was raised from the dead. There is no salvation without the death and the blood of Christ, and it is in baptism that God joins us to the death of Christ, as well as the body of Christ (cf. 1 Corinthians 12:13) It is this union with the death of Christ which allows Paul to say, “As many of you as were baptized into Christ have put on Christ.” (Galatians 3:27) Another aspect of baptism which makes it effectual is our faith. Baptism is, “the answer of a good conscience toward God.” God commands us to be baptized and tells us it is for the remission of our sins. Just as Noah believed God and built an ark for the saving of his family (cf. 1 Peter 3:20), so too, the modern believer hears God’s command and obeys it for the saving of his soul. It is in our obedience to the command that we trulty demonstrate our faith in the command and the Wisdom behind it. Finally and ultimately, baptism saves us because of the power of God. It is the method that God has chosen by which we are brought into contact with His Son’s death, and into the body of Christ. Someone might say, “God can save me any way that He wants.” Which is true. But God has already told us the method by which He desires to save us. He desires that we, having believed on Christ, repent and be baptized, in the name of Jesus Christ, for the remission of our sins. If we truly believe God’s word, that is what we will do. If you believe God’s word, we at the church of Christ would dearly love to study with you, and help you on the path towards heaven. We invite you to worship and study with us at 234 Chapel Drive, Gallipolis. �Friday, March 15, 2013 www.mydailysentinel.com The Daily Sentinel • Page 5 Meigs County Church Directory Church of Jesus Christ Apostolic Van Zandt and Ward Road.

(AP) — It’s a big year for Graham Rahal, who for the first time in his career will be the top driver on his team. As the IndyCar driver embarks on his first season with Rahal Letterman Lanigan Racing, Rahal is also looking to fill his schedule with at least one NASCAR race. Rahal wants to run the inaugural Nationwide Series race at hometown track Mid-Ohio and has been actively searching for a ride. “I want to do it really bad,” he said this week. “I’d like to do more, actually, just because I think it would be fun. But MidOhio is the one I’m really trying to make happen and trying to find an opportunity.” The road course in Lexington, Ohio, is roughly an hour away from Rahal’s hometown of Columbus and the race falls on an open date in the IndyCar schedule. It makes Mid-Ohio a natural fit for the potential NASCAR debut for the 24-yearold Rahal, who stressed he is not trying to change series. He’s just exploring. “Finding a way to do MidOhio is the priority right now, but I’d love to do an oval at some point,” Rahal said. “I was watching the race at Las Vegas this weekend and was thinking someday I’d like to try it — not because I want a career change, but because one-offs would be fun. Our schedule certainly has the time.” For now, though, the focus is on his new ride with RLL. He joins the team co-owned by his father, Bobby, after two seasons with Chip Ganassi Racing. Although the Ganassi organization says it runs its teams equally, the perception is that the emphasis is on championship contenders Dario Franchitti and Scott Dixon while Rahal and Charlie Kimball were something of a “B” team. Leaving Ganassi and moving to RLL, which is expanding this year to two cars with the addition of James Jakes, gives Rahal a chance to shine. “This is a real welcome change for me. Racing is fun again, and the environment I’m in now engages it,” he said. “There is a different mentality here. I don’t have even one concern about the team. Dad loves this, he loves racing. It’s not an opportunity to make money. It’s a chance to do something he loves. “Whatever our team needs, he’s gonna go get it and give us everything we need. If I could win with my Dad, it would mean a ton.” ——— FAST START: Aric Almirola knows his Richard Petty Motorsports team doesn’t have the deep pockets needed to compete with the top teams in NASCAR. The organization stretches its resources and makes up for what it lacks with quality people. The result has been a fast start to the season that has Almirola ranked 10th in the Sprint Cup standings headed into Sunday’s race at Bristol. Almirola believes that’s right where the team should be ranked. “I feel like it would be crazy for us to think that as new as we are, and the reality is we don’t have the same amount of resources as some of the other teams, it would be crazy for us to think that we’re a championship team at this moment,” he said. “But I do feel like we’re on the cusp of being a consistent top-10 team.” This solid start to 2013 is no fluke, either. Almirola had a strong close to last year, finishing fourth at Martinsville to begin a final month without a finish lower than 16th. He opened this year with a 13th in the Daytona 500, was 15th at Phoenix and 16th last week at Las Vegas. It’s all a credit to RPM’s personnel, he said. “We do have less resources,” he said. “The only way to overcome that is to have great people, and that’s what I feel like we have. We’ve got a great group of people here at Richard Petty Motorsports. We’ve got a lot of people that work really, really hard and work extremely long hours to make sure that our cars have every detail and every I and every T is crossed.” ——— NHRA GATORNATIONALS: It is the traditional East Coast opener for NHRA and Tony Schumacher and Ron Capps have the early season momentum in Top Fuel and Funny Car, respectively. Tony Schumacher has advanced to the last four Top Fuel final rounds dating back to last season, and his win two weeks ago in Phoenix was the 70th of his career. Clearly on a roll, he’s got a 79-point lead in the standings and seems to be an early championship contender. Schumacher said his U.S. Army team is stronger than it was at the end of last season. “Our car was phenomenal, but it’s better now. It’s better this year,” he said. “I’m excited, man. We’ve got a great car, a great team. I’m looking forward to 22 more fantastic races starting at Gainesville, one of my fa- vorite places, ever, to race.” Ron Capps, meanwhile, has posted back-to-back final rounds to open the season in Funny Car. His win at Phoenix gave him a 45-point lead in the standings and he’s looking to extend that margin with perhaps a third career Gatornationals victory. “Gainesville is one of the big four races that NHRA has,” he said. “It was a huge race when I was growing up and it still is. You get pumped up when you’re driving to the track and see all those campers. It’s a destination race where a lot of fans attend as part of a vacation.” He may be challenged by Courtney Force, who sits second in the standings and won the season opener at Pomona. She lost to Capps in the first round of last year’s Gatornationals. “I feel that our Traxxas Ford Mustang team has come a long way from when we were racing in Gainesville just a year ago,” Force said. “When I was competing at the race track last year, it had only been my third race as a rookie driver. This track was new and unfamiliar to me, and I struggled. I hope that I can take everything I learned from throughout last season and really improve with my performance going into Gainesville.” GAHS senior Morgan Foster signs with URG Kent Sanborn photo | southernohiosportsphotos.com River Valley senior Cady Gilmore fends off a double-team effort by a pair of Coal Grove defenders during a December 6 contest in Coal Grove, Ohio.

Three of the five choices are repeat selections to the squad, and half of the six Ohio Valley Publishing area programs were represented at the highest level of Ohio hoops. Eastern junior Jenna Burdette — a three-time southeast district player of the year — earned her third straight honor on the All-Ohio squad in Division IV, as the program’s alltime leading scorer was named to first-team for the third consecutive postseason. Burdette — a verbal commit to the University of Dayton — averaged 18.1 points per game for the state-bound Lady Eagles. Also joining Burdette was junior Jordan Parker, who averaged 12.5 points for the Lady Eagles. Parker earned her second career spot on the All-Ohio team with her second consecutive honorable mention choice in Division IV. Joining Parker as a two-time selection was South Gallia senior Ellie Bostic, who garnered her second straight honorable mention choice in Division IV. Bostic averaged 12.2 points and seven rebounds a game for the district runner-up Lady Rebels.

Cincinnati loses to Georgetown at Big East NEW YORK (AP) — All that Cincinnati can do now is wait. Otto Porter Jr. scored 18 points and No. 5 Georgetown beat the Bearcats 62-43 on Thursday, shrugging off a mid-game comeback led by Cashmere Wright in the quarterfinals of the Big East tournament. After losing seven of its last 11 games, Cincinnati (22-11) is left hoping it did enough to earn a trip to the NCAAs despite the shaky finish. “I don’t know how anybody could question that,” confident coach Mick Cronin said. Wright scored 14 points on 4-of-5 shooting from 3-point range to lead the ninth-seeded Bearcats, but running mate Sean Kilpatrick was off his game. The team’s top scorer at 17 points per game, he managed only four on 2-for-12 shooting and missed all eight of his tries from beyond the arc. Cincinnati erased an early 16-point deficit but committed 15 turnovers and went 14 for 38 from the floor (37 percent). “We just really struggled on offense,” Cronin said. “Tough to win when you can’t get the ball in the basket.” JaQuon Parker had 12 points for Cincinnati, which lost to Louisville in last year’s Big East final.

The NFL could eliminate tuck rule Barry Wilner The Associated Press The tuck rule could disappear from NFL games if owners approve a proposal from the competition committee to dump it. The owners, who meet next week in Phoenix, also will consider a change to instant replay rules allowing for a video review even when a coach makes an illegal challenge. Under the tuck rule, if a passer is in the act of bringing the ball down into his body rather than throwing it and loses control, it is ruled an incomplete pass. The proposal under consideration would make it a fumble. Competition Committee co-chairman Rich McKay, president of the Atlanta Falcons, noted the controversial history of the tuck rule Thursday. He said the change has full support from on-field officials, particularly now that all turnovers are automatically reviewed. “What is happening is a great majority of these plays are appropriately called fumbles,” McKay said on a conference call. “Then officials go into replay and look at it, and under the rule if the tuck had not been completed (the call) has to be reversed from … a fumble. They think they can call it and can understand when a passer has lost control of the ball, so we felt more comfortable proposing the rule.” Continued from previous page Miscellaneous Miscellaneous Miscellaneous Miscellaneous Want To Buy HIGH SPEED INTERNET Highspeed Internet EVERYWHERE By Satellite!

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHHHH Work with someone’s ideas regarding a problem. You can’t change this person’s mood, but you can affect his or her thinking in a discussion. This individual tends to see the negative side of things. Open his or her eyes if you can. Tonight: Follow someone else’s lead. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHH Sometimes you push too hard, which results in fatigue or even a low-level depression. One of the best decisions you could make is to take a day or two off. You might be surprised at how a change of routine could turn your energy and attitude around. Tonight: Be a bit less findable. CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHH Zero in on a long-term goal. Do that, and a slip-up in your daily life might be less aggravating or disappointing. A child or new love interest seems closed down. Do not respond to any negativity, and stay centered ... everything will work out. Tonight: Follow the gang. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHH Accept your responsibilities, and you will get a lot accomplished. Others naturally observe what you do.

Tonight: The only answer is “yes.” SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHH You are willing to pitch in to help others out. You might feel as if someone assumes too much, or that he or she might be too confident in your abilities. Act on your feelings, but take a moment before giving this person a reaction. Tonight: Meet up with friends. TGIF! CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHHH While others seem to be hitting a wall, you are able to bypass them because of an unusual creative bent.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHH You won’t be able to avoid certain priorities, no matter what you do. Even if you’re at work, your mind might tend to wander to a recent decision involving your domestic life. Don’t take action just yet, as there are other possibilities.

Geno Smith works out at West Virginia’s pro day MORGANTOWN, W.Va. (AP) — Geno Smith launched a high-arching pass 40 yards toward the corner of West Virginia’s indoor practice facility. As the receiver turned to snatch the ball, it got swallowed by a net hanging from the ceiling. Little else went awry for Smith at West Virginia’s pro day. Not including the ceiling shot, Smith completed 60 of 64 throws Thursday. He had two passes dropped and he overthrew two receivers — one on a sideline pattern, the other on a deep ball. “That net’s the best defender in the building,” Smith said. Smith is considered to be one of the top quarterbacks available in April’s NFL draft. He threw for 4,205 yards and led the nation with 42 touchdown passes in 2012. “Overall, I’ve had a fun time with this,” Smith said. “I guess we’ll see on draft day where that goes.” Smith and wide receiver Tavon Austin didn’t participate in the various agility drills that were witnessed by 29 NFL teams. Not in attendance were the Dallas Cowboys, the Arizona Cardinals and Seattle Seahawks. Smith also participated in last month’s NFL scouting combine. On Thursday he took some snaps under center, since he worked primarily in the shotgun formation at West Virginia. He also wanted to show his footwork, move around the pocket and throw to all areas of the field. The workout was orchestrated by former Heisman Trophy winner Chris Weinke, now director of the IMG Football Academy in Bradenton, Fla. “It was a lot easier than the combine,” Smith said. “For one, I wasn’t up for three days straight before doing this. I was able to get some rest, just being back in Morgantown, which is my comfortable environment and feeling good. “At the combine we were limited to about 10 to 15 throws. To get 60 to 70 throws in here, I think it helped me out a lot.” It was a chance to throw again to Austin and Stedman Bailey, and Smith wanted to do what he could to further the draft prospects of his top two targets. Austin set a school record with 2,910 all-purpose yards and ranked second nationally. Bailey led the nation with 25 TD receptions and was third with 1,622 receiving yards. Both are school records. Austin ran 4.34 seconds in the 40-yard dash at last month’s NFL scouting combine, which tied for the second-fastest time. He didn’t bother trying to improve on that Thursday, focusing only on showing off his catching ability and speed on the field. On a few of Smith’s longer throws Thursday, Austin actually had to slow down to make catches. At 5-foot-8 and 174 pounds, Austin said he wants to sway some naysayers who believe he’s too small to play in the NFL. “I’m just going to come in and keep working hard,” Austin said. “And hopefully that will change.” After his workout, Smith met with representatives of the Jacksonville Jaguars and said he plans other visits about a dozen other NFL teams leading up to the draft, including a March 22 meeting with the Buffalo Bills. Earlier this week he had a private workout with the Philadelphia Eagles in Morgantown. BEREA, Ohio (AP) — Browns defensive lineman Desmond Bryant put on a much better face than the one that went viral recently. Bryant, who signed a five-year, $34 million free agent contract with Cleveland earlier this week, apologized Thursday for his recent arrest, which was followed by his infamous police mug shot — his eyes half closed, his tongue sticking out — that became a social media target and was lampooned by late-night TV talk show host Jimmy Kimmel. Bryant was arrested in Miami on Feb. 24 on a misdemeanor charge of criminal mischief. The former Oakland Raiders lineman allegedly entered a neighbor’s house inebriated and caused a commotion, according to the San Francisco Chronicle. “I obviously made a mistake,” Bryant said, moments after posing for photos holding his new No. 92 Browns jersey. “I apologize for everything that happened, but I feel like I’ve learned from it and I’ve moved on from that. I think I’ve done enough over the years I’ve been in the league to exhibit that’s really not the person that I am. “And I think that in time, I’ll be able to show you guys and whoever else wants to know, that’s really not indicative of me.” The Browns believe in his character and feel the 6-foot-6, 311-pounder will be a huge asset to their defense, overhauled in free agency with the signings of Bryant, pass-rusher Paul Kruger and linebacker Quentin Groves. Browns coach Rob Chudzinski likes everything about Bryant, especially that he overcame long odds to make it to the NFL. Undrafted out of Harvard, Bryant was signed by the Raiders in 2009 and has played in 63 regular-season games, missing just one in four seasons. He has 124 career tackles and 11½ sacks. “He’s got a chip on his shoulder,” Chudzinski said. “What he’s done with his career is a testament to his hard work. He’s a self-made man in that way, so those are the type of guys that we want to be here that have that type of attitude, that chip on their shoulder to be a great player and be the best.” Bryant’s been driven since a young age. His dream was always to make it to the pros, and visualized a day when he would sign a huge contract. Nhat V.

Teams From Page 8 SGHS also landed a second player on the All-Ohio squad, as senior Meghan Caldwell landed an honorable mention selection in D-4. Caldwell averaged 12.4 points and 4.7 rebounds for the Lady Rebels en route to her first All-Ohio honor. River Valley senior Cady Gilmore was also named to the honorable mention list in Division III after averaging 16.2 points, seven assists and seven rebounds per game. The career 1,000-point scorer also earned her first All-Ohio selection. All five players were either first- or second-team selections at the southeast district level, which qualified them for AllOhio considerations.

Georgetown, looking to land a No. 1 seed in the NCAA tournament, fell behind briefly in the second half before clamping down with its signature defense. “I’m like, disappointed,” Wright said. “I mean, when we got the lead, I felt like they just amped up their defense and just focused on certain play- ers and just, like, baited you into doing things we regularly wouldn’t do. And then we just weren’t taking the open shots and trying to get better shots instead of taking the best shots.” Georgetown, looking for its first title since 2007, improved to 15-1 as the top seed in the Big East tournament. The only loss came against West Virginia in the 2010 championship game. Porter, the Big East Player of the Year, made all 11 of his free throws — most of them in the final minutes — to offset a 3-for-9 performance from the field. “For the most part, this group doesn’t get rattled,” Georgetown coach John Thompson III said. Sitting behind the scorer’s table, next to his son’s bench, was former Georgetown coach John Thompson — a rather large reminder that the Hoyas are tied with Connecticut for the most Big East tournament cham- 60400869 From Page 8 pionships (seven). They won the first one 33 years ago in Providence behind Eric “Sleepy” Floyd and Craig Shelton, and would love to close this era with one more to bring it all full circle. Georgetown is one of seven basketball-centric Catholic schools breaking away from the conference to create their own league, which will begin play next season and retain the Big East name. Several other member institutions are headed to the ACC, and Rutgers leaves for the Big Ten in 2014-15. “The fact that we’re sitting here and this is the last Big East tournament is beyond ridiculous,” Cronin said. “This is the greatest tradition in college athletics, this tournament, at one site for over 30-something years.” Cincinnati is one of three programs staying put — albeit with a yetto-be-determined new name — in a conference that will play major college football and welcome teams like Memphis, Central Florida, SMU and Houston. “The whole thing is tragic,” Cronin said. “Nobody cares about student athletes. All anybody cares about is money. Everybody in the NCAA, in college administration, they talk about academics and student athletes. If people cared about student athletes, West Virginia wouldn’t be in the Big 12 with 10 teams flying 800 miles to their closest home game. That’s really conducive to studying. The whole thing is a hypocrisy. … The money has ruined it. If I was a fan, I’d be very disenchanted.” The game was a rematch of a tightly contested Big East quarterfinal last year, won by Cincinnati 72-70 in double overtime. But the Hoyas had control most of the way this time and secured their 13th victory in 14 games. Cincinnati dispatched Providence 61-44 in its tournament opener Wednesday. Assuming they make the NCAA tournament, the Bearcats will find out Sunday where they play. “I do think the team getting some rest could be an advantage,” Cronin said. “But we came here to win. It’s not like I say, well, we’re in the NCAA tournament. We don’t care. We wanted to win the Big East championship. I don’t like it when teams lose, and they say, well, it’s no big deal. Next week is what matters. It was a big deal to us.” Cincinnati climbed out of a 16-point hole and opened the second half with a 9-2 spurt to take a 33-31 lead, its first since the opening minutes. Nate Lubick beat the shot clock with a baseline hook to tie it, and then Georgetown took over again behind Smith-Rivera. The freshman guard stroked a 3-pointer and a pull-up jumper during a 22-6 run that included him sneaking underneath for a nifty putback. Two free throws by Porter capped the surge and gave the Hoyas a 53-39 lead with 3:30 to go. “We’re not a car. We didn’t run out of gas. Couldn’t score the ball,” Cronin said. “We didn’t get much production other than two seniors.” Cincinnati center Cheikh Mbodj went to the bench after getting whistled for his second foul with 10:59 remaining in the first half, and Cronin drew a technical for protesting after Kilpatrick was called for a personal with 8:27 to go. “It’s ridiculous. Not on my part. Anybody who was around the court knows I simply said, ‘That’s not a foul,’” Cronin said. “That’s not a technical for every coach in the country. I think we all know that.” Georgetown made three of four free throws, and when Smith-Rivera followed Porter’s 3 with one of his own, the Hoyas suddenly had a 24-8 cushion. But the Bearcats called timeout and got back in the game with some sharp outside shooting. Wright drained consecutive 3s, Parker added another and Kilpatrick hit a jumper. When Wright connected on his third straight attempt from long range, the deficit was down to seven with 1:02 remaining. Mbodj made two free throws and the Hoyas went into halftime with a 29-24 advantage. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
