C8, also known as PFOA or perfluorooctanoic acid, was detected in local drinking water supplies in 2001 and 2002 — the result of emissions from DuPont Washington Works near Parkersburg, West Virginia where the chemical has been used for decades to make Teflon and other consumer applications. The discovery of the chemical contamination led to a class action lawsuit against DuPont brought by local water consumers who feared health effects from expo- sure to the manmade surfactant. Communities with water systems impacted by the contamination include Belpre, Tuppers Plains, Little Hocking and Pomeroy, Ohio, and Lubeck and Mason County, West Virginia. As the result of the class action lawsuit settlement, an independent panel of epidemiologists known as the C8 Science Panel determined after several years of study that C8 exposure is linked to pre-eclampsia, high cholesterol, thyroid disease, ulcerative colitis, and kidney and testicular cancer. Dozens of area residents who have fallen ill are in the process of filing personal injury claims against the company, which will be handled as multi-district litigation in federal court. Despite the settlement of the lawsuit, many questions remain about C8 and the extent to which it contaminated the local environment. For instance, the controversy began with the deaths of an entire herd of cattle, yet the company is so far refusing to provide EPA-requested testing of local cattle, locally grown produce, and many other sets of environmental monitoring data promised more than a decade ago. By means of a voluntary regulatory process, a Memorandum of Understanding signed in 2005, EPA hoped to gain insight into some of C8’s more elusive properties — such as the chemical’s capacity to travel in the environment, as well as the extent to which local game and produce had become contaminated. Yet, many of these questions remain unanswered. Cincinnati attorney Robert Bilott, who was the lead attorney for the class in the groundbreaking C8 suit, has been urging the EPA to force DuPont to provide the promised monitoring in order to “address ongoing threats to human health and the environment”. In a November letter to Bilott, EPA officials admit “additional data would have provided for a more thorough characterization of releases near the Washington Works site”. Dr. Maria J. Doa, Director of the Chemical Control Division says DuPont participated in a monitoring program, but “did not fully meet the charge”. However, Doa insists the EPA is “not in a position to require DuPont to conduct additional monitoring”. Doa points to agency efforts which have resulted in a Stewardship Program — a global ini- tiative involving eight companies who have voluntarily pledged to phase out manufacturing of C8 by the end of 2015. DuPont spokesperson Janet Smith said the company has already stopped manufacturing C8 and is “on track to complete the conversion to alternatives” in 2014. “DuPont stopped manufacturing PFOA in first quarter 2013,” Smith said. “We have also eliminated use of PFOA in the manufacture of fluoropolymers as of the end of June 2013.” In the company’s annual report documenting progress in meeting the PFOA Stewardship Program goals, DuPont notes that the elimination of C8 in the manufacture of fluoropolymers was made two and a half years ahead of the EPA goal.

(AP) — Farmers have significantly reduced the flow of pollutants into the Chesapeake Bay, with new conservation practices keeping more than 15 million tons of sediment alone out of the estuary, a report released Thursday said. Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack released the results of farm surveys to document how voluntary, incentive-based approaches to agricultural conservation have worked. The surveys looked at those practices from 2003 through 2006 and again in 2011. “What we found from this assessment is conservation is working and working in a very significant way,” Vilsack said in a teleconference. The surveys found that farmers and ranchers used an array of conservation practices such as cover crops and buffers to limit sediment and other pollutants that otherwise would end up in the bay. Vilsack said the surveys illustrate that “farmers are stepping up” to reduce pollution in the bay, which is amid a massive cleanup involving six states and Washington, D.C. “We see it as a reaffirmation of the stewardship of the landowners in the Chesapeake Bay area and we think it basically points out that conservation is critical,” he said. The sediment kept out of the bay annually would fill 150,000 rail cars on a train that would stretch 1,700 miles, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture. The surveys also found that nitrogen levels have been reduced by 48.6 million pounds each year and phosphorus by 7.1 million pounds. Those nutrients, as well as sediment, are among the ingredients that cloud water in the bay, fueling the growth of algae blooms that snuff oxygen from the water. A report earlier this week by the Chesapeake Bay Program found that clean-up efforts in the bay are lagging. The “Bay Barometer” issued by the federal-state partnership overseeing the restoration found that the bay and the rivers and streams that flow into it are not achieving water quality goals. Virginia, West Virginia, Maryland, the district and three other states are on a federally mandated “pollution diet” in an effort to restore the bay. The multi-billion-dollar effort was launched by the Environmental Protection Agency after years of failure by the states in the bay’s watershed to take action. The restoration goal is 2025.

Nelson Mandela, 20th century colossus, dies at 95 JOHANNESBURG (AP) — Nelson Mandela, who became one of the world’s most beloved statesmen and a colossus of the 20th century when he emerged from 27 years in prison to negotiate an end to white minority rule in South Africa, has died. He was 95. South African President Jacob Zuma made the announcement at a news conference late Thursday, saying “we’ve lost our greatest son.” His death closed the final chapter in South Africa’s struggle to cast off apartheid, leaving the world with indelible memories of a man of astonishing grace and good humor. Rock concerts celebrated his birthday. Hollywood stars glorified him on screen. And his regal bearing, graying hair and raspy voice made him instantly recognizable across the globe. As South Africa’s first black president, the exboxer, lawyer and prisoner No. 46664 paved the way to racial reconciliation with well-chosen gestures of forgiveness. He lunched with the prosecutor who sent him to jail, sang the apartheid-era Afrikaans anthem at his inauguration, and traveled hundreds of miles to have tea with the widow of Hendrik Verwoerd, the prime minister at the time he was imprisoned. His most memorable gesture came when he strode onto the field before the 1995 Rugby World Cup final in Johannesburg. When he came on the field in South African colors to congratulate the victorious South African team, he brought the overwhelmingly white crowd of 63,000 to its feet, chanting “Nelson! Nelson! Nelson!” At the same time, Mandela was himself uneasy with the idea of being an icon and he did not escape criticism as an individual and a politician, though much of it was muted by his status as a unassailable symbol of decency and principle. As president, he failed to craft a lasting formula for overcoming South Africa’s biggest post-apartheid problems, including one of the world’s widest gaps between rich and poor. In his writings, he pondered the heavy cost to his family of his decision to devote himself to the struggle against apartheid. He had been convicted of treason and sentenced to life imprisonment in 1964 for leading a campaign of sabotage against the government, and sent to the notorious Robben Island prison. It was forbidden to quote him or publish his photo, yet he and other jailed members of his banned African National Congress were able to smuggle out messages of guidance to the antiapartheid crusade. As time passed — the “long, lonely, wasted years,” as he termed them — international awareness of apartheid grew more acute. By the time Mandela turned 70 he was the world’s most famous political prisoner. Such were his mental reserves, though, that he turned down conditional offers of freedom from his apartheid jailers and even found a way to benefit from confinement. Nelson Rolihlahla Mandela was born July 18, 1918, the son of a tribal chief in Transkei, one of the future “Bantustans,” independent republics set up by the apartheid regime to cement the separation of whites and blacks. Mandela’s royal upbringing gave him a dignified bearing that became his hallmark. Many South Africans of all races would later call him by his clan name, Madiba, as a token of affection and respect. Growing up at a time when virtually all of Africa was under European colonial rule, Mandela attended Methodist schools before being admitted to the black University of Fort Hare in 1938. He was expelled two years later for his role in a student strike. He moved to Johannesburg and worked as a policeman at a gold mine, boxed as an amateur heavyweight and studied law. His first wife, nurse Evelyn Mase, bore him four children. A daughter died in infancy, a son was killed in a car crash in 1970 and another son died of AIDS in 2005. The couple divorced in 1957 and Evelyn died in 2004. Mandela began his rise through the anti-apartheid movement in 1944, when he helped form the ANC Youth League. He organized a campaign in 1952 to encourage defiance of laws that segregated schools, marriage, housing and job opportunities. The government retaliated by barring him from attending gatherings and leaving Johannesburg, the first of many “banning” orders he was to endure. After a two-day nationwide strike was crushed by police, he and a small group of ANC colleagues decided on military action and Mandela pushed to form the movement’s guerrilla wing, Umkhonto we Sizwe, or Spear of the Nation. He was arrested in 1962 and sentenced to five years’ hard labor for leaving the country illegally and inciting blacks to strike. A year later, police uncovered the ANC’s underground headquarters on a farm near Johannesburg and seized documents outlining plans for a guerrilla campaign. At a time when African colonies were one by one becoming independent states, Mandela and seven co-defendants were sentenced to life in prison. From the late 1960s South Africa gradually became an international pariah, expelled from the U.N., banned from the Olympics. In 1973 Mandela refused a government offer of release on condition he agree to confine himself to his native Transkei. In 1982 he and other top ANC inmates were moved off Robben Island to a mainland prison. Three years later Mandela was again offered freedom, and again he refused unless segregation laws were scrapped and the government negotiated with the ANC. !"#$ ! $%&&'"(( * (()+,%%-( +, (%"./0)1 Basketball &)* Cheerleading !"##$%&'()*+,-(.,*'/*+,("0) 123"$4*5"/%*+%6)%( !"#$%&'(')*#+, 789:;;<:<;=8*>#24)"3% 789:8=?:?@??*>*%A%6"6B "-./0'12*34*%#5+6 C2)-(#24*>*D%.E*7),F*=9GH923:=<GH9&3 IJ:?),*B(2#%K L%B"0)(2)"'6*D%2#$"6%*>*D%.E*=@), MMNO*$2)%*/%%*"/*(%B"0)%(%#*2/)%(*D%.E*=@* C.,'$2(0,"&0*2A2"$2P$% 60469967 �The Daily Sentinel FAITH AND FAMILY Page 4 Friday, December 6, 2013 For what do you thank God?

Thanks should be prayerfully for“that to which nothing can be compared or related.” This is to say that warded for God’s unspeakable gift there is absolutely nothing that can concerning the Cross of Christ. be compared or related to the gift The sacrifice of Christ on the Cross that God has given in the person of amounts to the incomparable plan of Jesus Christ. Such consideration God for the salvation of people from should excite the soul and prompt eternal death and condemnation. I the soul to un-deterred and faithful am glad that I do not have to go to hell! Only one sacrifice of shedding spiritual commitment. blood qualified to satisfy completely the righteous demands of God. Could you or I have qualified to do what Christ did for us on the Cross? Would you or I have volunteered to endure what Christ endured for us on the Cross? There is no way that you or I (or any other creature) can compare or relate to the expectation of perfection and endurance demonstrated by Jesus Christ. That is why He is unspeakable. That is why we should regale God with thanks. Thanks should be prayerfully forwarded for God’s unspeakable gift concerning the Resurrection of Christ. When you physically die, will you be able to physically start living again? It is not within the range of possibilities for us to rise physically from the dead. But, Jesus Christ did so according to the power of God and the Holy Spirit. Christ did that which is humanly impossible. Nothing can compare or relate to Jesus’ Resurrection. The Resurrection is part of the unspeakable quality of the gift of Jesus Christ. We should regale God with thanks. Thanks to God also concerns the forgiveness of Christ. Forgiveness amounts to release from the Lord for the guilt and consequences of sin. Some are not concerned about it. But, I and many are. I thank the Lord for His willingness to forgive us of our sins, because it pains the soul to bear a burden of guilt before God. There is no tension for us in our gifting of others when we fixate on the gift God has given to us. Search the Scriptures ‘These were more noble … they searched the scriptures daily …’ Central to the legitimacy of Christianity is the question of the resurrection of the dead. The apostle Peter wrote, “Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who according to His abundant mercy has begotten us again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, to an inheritance incorruptible and undefiled and that does not fade away, reserved in heaven for you.” (1 Peter 1:3-4) The faith that God will raise us from the dead, Peter’s “living hope,” along with the understanding that there is an eternal inheritance waiting for those who are themselves waiting for Christ, colors all other things and calls for a certain set of priorities. If this life is only temporary, and there is the certainty of a hereafter, the nature of which will be determined by what we do or do not do in this life, then it is entirely reasonable to do all things necessary to gain the best possible outcome in eternity. As the apostle Paul wrote, “But what things were gain to me, these I have counted loss for Christ. Yet indeed I also count all things loss for the excellence of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord, for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and count them as rubbish, that I may gain Christ and be found in Him, not having my own righteousness, which is from the law, but that which is through faith in Christ, the righteousness which is from God by faith; that I may know Him and the power of His resurrection, and the fellowship of His sufferings, being conformed to His death, if, by any means, I may attain to the resurrection from the dead.” (Philippians 3:7-11). There was no sacrifice too great, no burden so heavy, as to dissuade Paul from giving all to Christ. It is noteworthy that both Paul and Peter are understood to have been martyred for Christ. Their apostleships were not avenues towards earthly wealth and power; rather they willingly faced poverty, imprisonment and death for the sake of Christ. Paul so fervently accepted the resurrection of the dead that he would elsewhere write, “For me to die is gain.” (Philippians 1:21b) The cause of the certainty of the resurrection, for both Peter and Paul, was the same: they had themselves seen and talked with the resurrected Jesus Christ. Peter, in particular, as one close by during the events of the death of Christ, knew that Jesus had been well and truly dead. He had been crucified, stabbed through the heart, and buried. And then, three days later, on a Sunday morning, Jesus was once more alive and talking with Peter and the other apostles. Paul likewise, once a violent persecutor of the church and a mur- derer of the saints, had been personally rebuked for his actions by a living Christ. There was no doubt in either of their minds concerning the authenticity of what they had seen. People often speculate as to what happens when a person dies. Many might remark that, until we die, there is no way to know for sure. Some, in their desperation for such knowledge, spend much time and money trying to “contact” the other side, hoping for some message. And yet, in Christ we already have a witness from beyond the grave. He died, returned, and commissioned other men to tell us exactly what we faced and how to prepare for it. While this testimony does not move everyone to faith, it is nonetheless of such a nature as to demand a serious investigation as to the claims made. And, once we have ascertained the sincerity of eye-witnesses such as Peter and Paul (and you can’t be much more sincere than being willing to die in poverty on the basis of your faith), we have to take the claims very seriously indeed. Perhaps the reason some don’t take the testimony of Jesus Christ seriously concerning the hereafter is not a lack of desire to believe in life after death, but a lack of willingness to conform to the life Jesus claimed was necessary. For Christ taught that all men would be raised, but that there was a res- urrection to life for the godly, and a resurrection to condemnation for the worldly and the wicked (cf. Matthew 25:46). The testimony of Jesus concerning these things is that men must repent and be baptized (cf. Luke 13:3; Mark 16:16; Acts 2:38) and that they must be faithful to Him in order to be saved (cf. Revelation 2:10). Those unwilling to do what Jesus tells them to do are more likely to try and find reasons to discredit His words. Jesus Himself anticipated this when he stated that even a man returning from the dead would be insufficient to move some people to change (cf. Luke 16:31). Nevertheless, for those willing to accept the validity of the resurrection of Christ, it is entirely reasonable to conform in every way to the manner of person Jesus tells us to be (cf. Romans 12:1-2). It is reasonable, as Paul said, to count worldly things as rubbish compared to the excellence of the knowledge of Christ. We who believe in Christ have a living hope and that hope should be sufficient to motivate us to do great things in His name. The question that comes to us then is whether we accept the resurrection and, if so, what do we intend to do about this most excellent living hope? At the church of Christ, we seek earnestly to conform ourselves to Christ and the pattern of His word that we might know Him and the power of His resurrection. If you would join us in that effort, we invite you to study and worship with us at 234 Chapel Drive, Gallipolis. As winter quickly steals the stage, and the black velvet of night rolls in earlier and earlier each December evening, one may look up and see the glittering hosts of celestial bodies sparkling down upon his or her head. As what appear to be tiny pin-points of flame twinkle down from the vault of heaven arching across the endless sky, we know indeed that each is actually a blazing ball of flame and fire. “And God said, ‘Let there Thom Mollohan be lights in the expanse of the Pastor heavens to separate the day from the night. And let them be for signs and for seasons, and for days and years, and let them be lights in the expanse of the heavens to give light upon the earth.’ And it was so. And God made the two great lights the greater light to rule the day and the lesser light to rule the night - and the stars. And God set them in the expanse of the heavens to give light on the earth, to rule over the day and over the night, and to separate the light from the darkness. And God saw that it was good” (Genesis 1:14-18 ESV). And just as these cosmic lampposts are each fashioned by the Divine Hand and appointed their own stellar duties, so each man and woman, boy and girl is uniquely created and positioned in this more temporal existence by that same Hand. And since we know that “determines the number of the stars; He gives to all of them their names” (Psalm 147:4 ESV), we can also know that our lives are not accidental and that our place and purpose in this world are not incidental. “When I look at Your heavens, the work of Your fingers, the moon and the stars, which You have set in place, what is man that You are mindful of him, and the son of man that You care for him? Yet You have made him a little lower than the heavenly beings and crowned him with glory and honor. You have given him dominion over the works of Your hands; You have put all things under his feet” (Psalm 8:3-6 ESV). How wonderful to know that the light of each of our lives is not hidden from His eternal eyes! How amazing to know that we each count and matter in the grand scheme of His eternal plans! Though we may often feel lost in our responsibilities, our problems, our sins, or even the countless needs of over six billion other people, we are each known by name by the One Who spread the boundless canopy of heaven across the universe! And how like Him, too, to appoint among all the starry host one single light that would transcend the luminance of all the others, to herald the arrival of One Who, among all the hosts of earth, would transcend the luminance of all other earthly and spiritual beings! “Now after Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judea in the days of Herod the king, behold, wise men from the east came to Jerusalem, saying, ‘Where is He Who has been born king of the Jews? For we saw His star when it rose and have come to worship Him” (Matthew 2:1-2 ESV). Greeting the tiny Messiah on the behalf of humanity with gifts of gold, incense, and myrrh, these “Wise Men” followed the light of that very special star from the lands of the East and fulfilled their God-given destinies. Likewise, if any would be wise today, they still turn to the Eternal Light of Jesus that shines in the darkness of our broken world, and follow it, fulfilling the destiny that God has reserved for them. Let us each then choose to receive the gift of forgiveness of sin and eternal life through faith in Christ. Through Him we become as lights in the dark and wintry sky of a world that is shrouded in sin and selfishness, shining with the sparkling glimmer of hope, joy, and love! And let us also “do all things without grumbling or questioning, that (we) may be blameless and innocent, children of God without blemish in the midst of a crooked and twisted generation, among whom (we) shine as lights in the world, holding fast to the word of life” (Philippians 2:14-16a ESV). Let us avoid the trap of becoming bitter and selfabsorbed, like stars that collapse in upon themselves. Black Holes shed no light or warmth but greedily suck in all life and heat, hording such good things inside themselves and becoming incapable of shining any of the light they have devoured. Souls that implode in this way, whether due to bitterness or selfishness, are useless in any spiritual sense and offer nothing to those around them except an insatiable hunger that constantly gnaws at them. Let us choose instead the destiny that God Himself has chosen for us. If we’ll receive the freedom that Christ offers us through genuine faith in His work of atonement on the Cross of Calvary, we shine like stars indeed. Jesus said, “You are the light of the world…. Let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father Who is in heaven” (Matthew 5:14, 16 ESV).

Between the meal and the gifts Most families that I know celebrate a birthdays in a certain way. After they have bought the gift and sent the invitations for the party the day comes when all is set. The first thing they do is eat. They eat to their heart’s content. After a little while the time comes for the birthday child to open gifts. After the gifts, it’s time for dessert. Last week we celebrated Thanksgiving, while others celebrated Thanksgivukkah. And what a day that was getting together with friends and relatives around the table! Now we quickly move forward anticipating and planning for Christmas. Children mas? What do we are always anxious do from the food to for Christmas.

While for many, this season is one heckted season filled with presure, anxiety, panic attacks, sadness, and so on and so forth. Can we make plans to anxiously and joyfully wait to open our gifts? I’m not talking about the gifts under the tree, but the gift that is already tucked in out hearts. The gift that God has given us. The gift of the Holy Spirit. Could we consciously plan and think about allowing the Holy Spirit to enjoy himself inside of us and around us? Can we allow His giftings and fruit to be displayed, enjoyed during this season? There is nothing more refreshing than to anticipate God to move in our lives on a daily basis. From Thanksgiving to Christmas is often a stressful season for most. I’d like to remind us that this season can be a joyous season as we unwrap the gift in us, let it be enjoyed and seen by others. Don’t wait for Christmas to be the most wonderful time of the year, but let it be today. Go ahead and unwrap God’s love, faith and peace inside of you and enjoy your time anticipating Christ’s return. �Friday, December 6, 2013 The Daily Sentinel s Page 5 www.mydailysentinel.com Meigs County Church Directory Fellowship Apostolic Church of Jesus Christ Apostolic Van Zandt and Ward Road.

Fourth-seeded Ashford (Iowa) found the net on each of its five shots on goal and routed the No. 5 seed RedStorm, 5-1, in the quarterfinal round of the NAIA National Tournament, Wednesday afternoon, at the Emory-Folmar YMCA Soccer Complex. The Saints improved to 15-5-1 with the victory and advanced to Friday’s semifinal round to face 16th-seeded Martin Methodist, which ousted No. 8 seed Belhaven (Miss.) on Wednesday after erasing top-seeded Grand View (Iowa) on Monday. Rio Grande finished 16-3-3 with the loss. The five goals were the most allowed by a Rio team since a 5-2 loss to Fresno Pacific on November 16, 2007 in the second round of the national tournament in Olathe, Kan. The RedStorm trailed 2-1 at the intermission, but Ashford put the game away with three goals in the second period. Head coach Scott Morrissey’s squad outshot the Saints, 20-10, including 9-5 in shots on goal, but found the net just once. “Even though we were down by a goal at the half, I still felt pretty good about our situation,” Morrissey said. “We were creating some chances, we just weren’t capitalizing. But when we got a man down, we started chasing the game. We just never could get into it from that point on.” Ashford turned a pair of passing mistakes by the RedStorm into each of its two first half goals. Daniel Dreier scored just over 13 minutes into the match to give the Saints a 1-0 lead before Rio freshman Paul Rodriguez (Barcelona, Spain) scored off an assist by fellow freshman William Paulino (Sao Paulo, See SAINTS | 7 Adam Cairns | Columbus Dispatch | MCT Ohio State Buckeyes running back Carlos Hyde (34) runs upfield toward Michigan Wolverines safety Thomas Gordon (30) during the first quarter at Ohio Stadium on Saturday, Nov. 24, 2012, in Columbus, Ohio. After long season, task is simple for Buckeyes COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — It might seem as if the pressure just keeps building and building on No. 2 Ohio State. That’s not really the case. “That’s the beauty about the position we’re in,” center Corey Linsley said. “We really do control our own destiny. We just have to win this game and then it’s all set for us.” Still, the risks and rewards are elevated — even after the Buckeyes’ biggest win of the season against archrival Michigan. Now they have to turn right around and play yet another major showdown. They meet No. 10 Michigan State in the Big Ten championship game on Saturday — the latest in a long line of games which have required focusing on the task at hand instead of Big Ten, big bowl and BCS dreams. In a way, however, as the long season has unfolded, it’s actually easier to concentrate and discard all the extraneous white noise. Roll the dice, play the game, see what happens. A lot of the pressure went away on Saturday night, after the Buckeyes had pulled out a 42-41 win at Michigan Stadium. The Buckeyes were about 30 minutes north of Columbus when they saw on the TV sets and their smartphones on the team bus that Auburn had shocked top-ranked Alabama on a last-play, 100-plus-yard return of a missed field goal. That not only pushed the Buckeyes into the coveted No. 2 spot in the BCS rankings behind Florida State, but it also touched off a wild celebration on the bus. Cell-phone video of the moment when it was all but assured that Ohio State would move up a spot into control of a national championship berth showed screaming, laughing and a lot of back-slapping and high-fiving. “That was a real exciting moment because a lot of guys were watching the game on the bus,” linebacker Ryan Shazier said. “A lot of guys got hyped from it. That something like this fell into our favor, everything just played out like it should have.” Now it’s up to the Buckeyes (12-0) to not let this chance slip through their fingers against the Spartans (11-1) at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis. “We have done everything we need to do up to this point,” Linsley said. “We can’t start doing things that we haven’t done. We’ve never paid attention to the BCS. Never. That’s never been our primary focus — to jump somebody in the BCS. Our primary focus every week was to win the game by as many points as we needed to win. We can’t start changing stuff up now.” It would be easy to let up. The Buckeyes survived a last-minute two-point conversion pass that was intercepted by Tyvis Powell to beat Michigan in an instant classic. Now is when the more experienced players need to show and tell the others how to stay the course. Coach Urban Meyer, 24-0 on the Buckeyes sideline to extend a schoolrecord winning streak, is convinced that the seniors on the team are strong enough leaders to not permit a letdown or a loss of focus. After all, in the midst of the cheering on the bus, wide receiver Corey Brown stepped up front, quieted everyone and told them that their work wasn’t finished yet. The mood changed immediately. “The first thing is you feel pretty strong about the leaders on our team,” Meyer said. “I didn’t feel See TASK | 7 OVP Sports Schedule Alex Hawley | OVP Sports Southern senior Tyler Barton (11) dives into the endzone between South Gallia’s Landon Hutchinson (5) and Ethan Spurlock (10) during the Tornadoes 34-6 victory in Mercerville. 18 OVP area athletes earn All-Ohio football honors Alex Hawley ahawley@civitasmedia.com COLUMBUS, Ohio — 18 athletes from the OVP area earned mentions on the 2013 All-Ohio football teams.

Rio Grande, which won for the second straight time, improved to 5-2 with the victory. Ohio Christian dropped to 5-6 overall with the loss and remained winless in six all-time meetings with Rio. Tisdale, a senior guard from Bolivar, Tenn., was one of five players to finish in double figures for the RedStorm. Sophomore guard D.D. Joiner (Columbus, OH) netted 14 points off the bench. Junior guard Evan Legg (Piketon, OH) and freshman forward Bilal Young (Cleveland, OH) had 12 points each and senior guard Jermaine Warmack (Orange, NJ) finished with 10 points. Three of the five - Tisdale, Joiner and Young - had 10 or more points in the second half, as Rio Grande shot a blistering 60 percent from the floor. “It was a struggle for a big part of the night, but I thought we played well down the stretch,” Rio Grande head coach Ken French said. “We took some punches tonight, but we held in there and somehow found a way to win.” The RedStorm’s hot-shooting second half came on the heels of a 29 percent performance in the openSee RALLY | 7 �Friday, December 6, 2013 The Daily Sentinel s Page 7 www.mydailysentinel.com OVP Sports Briefs Youth league basketball tournament The Middleport and Pomeroy youth leagues will be holding a basketball tournament at the Rutland Civic Center from Friday, Dec. 20, through Monday, Dec 23, and the tournament resumes on Thursday, Dec. 26, through Monday, Dec. 30, for boys and girls in grades 3-6.

Ohio panel examines football as civil rights arena CINCINNATI (AP) — Former Cincinnati Bengals star Ken Riley will be among black football pioneers who will discuss football’s role as an arena for the civil rights movement. Riley will be joined by Bengals assistant coach Hue Jackson and National Underground Railroad Freedom Center head Clarence Newsome on a panel Thursday evening at the Freedom Center in Cincin- nati. Newsome was one of Duke University’s first black football players. Jackson was an Oakland Raiders head coach, and Riley played at historically black Florida A&M University before his 15-year career as Bengals’ defensive back. Columbia University journalism professor Samuel Freedman will moderate. Freedman’s book “Breaking The Line” tells the story of the 1967 seasons of Florida A&M and Grambling and their importance to civil rights progress. The Bengals will honor Riley before Sunday’s game. Browns QB Campbell cleared to practice BEREA, Ohio (AP) — Browns quarterback Jason Campbell practiced for the first time since sustaining a concussion and could start Sunday at New England. Campbell returned to the field on Thursday, the next step in his recovery from a head injury sustained on Nov. 24 when he was hurt on a blindside hit by Pittsburgh’s William Gay. Campbell must still be cleared by an independent neurologist — per NFL rules — before he is allowed to play against the Patriots. Campbell took part in all drills and threw to his receivers during the portion of practice open to media members. Browns coach Rob Chudzinski said he was “very encouraged” by Campbell’s progress, and offensive coordinator Norv Turner said he was glad to have the veteran back. Campbell has started four games this season. The Browns signed free agent Caleb Hanie earlier this week in case Campbell or Weeden can’t play. Alex Tanney was signed last week off Dallas’ practice squad, and he and Hanie split the plays with Cleveland’s starting offense in Wednesday’s practice. Turner said both young quarterbacks have made progress and can be counted on in case Campbell is unable to play. Browns DE Bryant done for season BEREA, Ohio (AP) — Browns defensive end Desmond Bryant will undergo a surgical procedure to correct an irregular heartbeat and miss the remainder of the season. The Browns said Bryant, who signed a five-year, $34 million contract in March, reported symptoms Monday. He was taken out of an Oct. 3 game against Buffalo and was briefly hospitalized at The Cleveland Clinic with an irregular heartbeat. Bryant will undergo the procedure this week, the team said. The 27-year-old started all 12 games this season and made 45 tackles and 3 1-2 sacks. The Browns placed him on the reserve/ non-football illness list. Bryant played the last four seasons with Oakland before signing with the Browns as a free agent. Rio Grande women cruise past WVU Tech Randy Payton Special to OVP MONTGOMERY, W.Va. — Julia Heaberlin provided a spark off the bench, scoring a career-high 15 points and leading a balanced scoring attack that saw five players reach double figures as the University of Rio Grande posted an 89-69 victory over West Virginia Tech, Wednesday evening, at the Baisi Athletic Center. The RedStorm captured their eighth victory in just their 10th game of the 2013-2014 campaign, a feat which took 30 games to complete last season. Rio Grande also completed the regular season sweep of the Golden Bears, who fell to 2-7 with the loss. The RedStorm led by as much as 13 late in the first half, but the Golden Bears refused to go away quietly and cut the deficit to a managable seven points, 42-35, by halftime. Much like its previous win against Wilberforce University last Wednesday, Rio Grande came out of the locker room in the sec- ond half and simply dominated the first 10 minutes, outscoring the home team 27-6 to take its largest lead of the game at 69-41. From that point on, the RedStorm never looked back. Rio Grande finished the game shooting just 39 percent (30-for-77) from the field, but was a respectable 35 percent (7-for-20) from beyond the arc while West Virginia Tech shot 31 percent (21-68) for the game and a slightly better 37.5 percent (9-for-24) from three-point range. In a physical contest that saw 53 combined fouls and three Golden Bears foul out, neither team was able to find real success from the charity stripe, as the RedStorm shot a seasonlow 50 percent (22-for-44) and Tech shot 62.1 percent (18-for-29) from the line. Heaberlin, a sophomore forward from Ashland, Ky., connected on her first six field goal attempts of the night, including a threepointer, to earn team-high scoring honors. Freshman Kaylyn Gambill (Ashland, KY) added 14 points in the winning effort, while junior Sarah Bonar (Hartford, OH) and freshman Sharday Baines (East Cleveland, OH) had 12 points apiece and freshman Alexis Payne (Deep Water, WV) scored 11 points in her return to her hometown. Leading the way for West Virginia Tech was Nia Nolan with a gamehigh 21 points, followed by LaKisha Adkins and Tracee Mitchel with 14 and 13 points, respectively. The below-average shooting display by both squads resulted in a combined total of 114 rebounds, with the RedStorm owning a 60-54 advantage on the boards. Bonar and Payne led Rio Grande with nine and eight rebounds, respectively, while Cheyanna Lusk pulled down a game-high 15 rebounds and Roche’ Wimberly yanked down 10 carems for the Golden Bears. Rio Grande will look to surpass last season’s win total when they return to action on Monday, Dec. 9, when NCAA Division II Alderson-Broaddus College visits the Newt Oliver Arena for a 6 p.m. tipoff. Saints From Page 6 Brazil) to knot the score at 1-1 at the 17:30 mark of the first half. Ashford took the lead for good just over nine minutes later when Tim Krautheim intercepted an errant Rio pass and fed Lucas Almeida for a goal from six yards out to make it 2-1 with 20:11 re- maining before halftime. “The first two goals that they scored were inexcusable on our part,” said Morrissey. “We made some mistakes that a team as talented as ours is should’ve never made.” Nine minutes after the goahead score, Rio Grande also lost the services of sophomore forward Luiz Filho (Sao Paulo, Brazil) - the nation’s leading goal-scorer - when he was ejected after being red-carded for a head butt of an Ashford defender. The Saints made full use of the one-man advantage, getting a goal by Javier Ramirez off an assist by Dreier less than three minutes into the second stanza to extend their lead to 3-1. Dreier scored again at 61:43 thanks to a feed from Krautheim and assisted on a goal by Johannes Langhans just under three minutes later to close out the scoring. Chris Higgins was credited with seven saves in goal for Ashford, while junior net-minder Jon Dodson (Tiffin, OH) failed to record a save in a los- ing cause for the RedStorm. Wednesday’s loss marked the final game in a Rio uniform for seniors Maxi Viera (Montevideo, Uruguay), Orlando Zapata (Medellin, Colombia), Craig Davies (Wolverhampton, England), Nikoy Wallace (Montego Bay, Jamaica) and Jordan Jenkins (Kingston, Ohio). Task From Page 6 very strong about them back in January and February, but I feel very strong about them now. It was a very draining, emotional win (at Michigan). It’s almost like that three-hour bus ride home was a very good opportunity to let it all out of you and get back to work. “I’m concerned about (the team’s focus) but I trust our leaders.” Ohio State edged Michi- gan State 17-16 a year ago in a game that the Buckeyes trailed at halftime but came back to win. It helped set them on course for where they are now — within reach of all of their goals. They just need to win the next game — the Big Ten’s best offense (Ohio State) against its best defense (Michigan State) — in a make-or-break game for both teams. Of course, this focus thing works both ways.

Kaileb Sheets, Ty Phelps, Devon Cundiff and Michael Davis each earned All-Ohio special mention selections for the Marauders. Gallia Academy finished 5-5 this season with three AllOhio Division IV special mentions. Blue Devil seniors Wade Jarrell, Logan Allison and Reid Eastman all three earned special mention honors. 12 (WPBY) Rally 27 (LIFE) ing stanza - a figure which contributed to a pair of 10-point leads for the Trailblazers and an eventual 3225 advantage for OCU at the intermission. “The first half was the worst 20 minutes of basketball we’ve played all year,” said French, whose team was playing for the first time since November 23. “It looked like we’d been on break for 10 days didn’t it? We settled for way too many outside jumpers and we’re not very good when we do that.” Rio Grande opened the second half on a 12-3 run to take a 37-35 lead on a bucket by Joiner with 13:41 remaining in the game, but OCU went back in front, 4746, on a jumper by Joe Collier with 9:24 left in the contest. The lead went back-andforth over the next four minutes before a 12-2 Rio run turned a one-point deficit into a nine-point 13 (WOWK) “There’s only so much we can control and we just want to beat Ohio State and let the rest take care of itself.” CABLE 6 PM WSAZ News 3 WTAP News at Six ABC 6 News at 6 Travelscope "Christmas in Switzerland" Eyewitness News at 6 10TV News at 6 p.m. The Big Bang Theory BBC World News: America 13 News at 6:00 p.m. 6 PM FRIDAY, DECEMBER 6 6:30 NBC Nightly News NBC Nightly News ABC World News Nightly Business Report ABC World News CBS Evening News Two and a Half Men Nightly Business Report CBS Evening News 6:30 7 PM 7:30 Wheel of Jeopardy!

Akron SVSM’s Dante Booker Jr. is AP Mr. Football COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Saturday was a big day for the Booker family. Dante Booker Jr., a star linebacker at Akron’s St. Vincent-St. Mary High School, is headed to Ohio State. The Buckeyes went to Michigan and pulled off a dramatic, 42-41 victory over their rivals to remain unbeaten. Later that evening, Auburn shocked two-time defending national champion Alabama 34-28 on Chris Davis’ 100-yard-plus return of a missed field goal in the Iron Bowl. Dante Booker Sr. played defensive line for the Tigers. Asked which outcome was the biggest news in the family, the younger Booker laughed and said, “It was definitely close. They were about equal, I’d say that.” More good news came on Wednesday. Dante Booker Jr. was an- nounced as the 27th winner of the Ohio Associated Press Mr. Football award, given annually to the best high school player in the state. The 6-foot-4, 220-pound senior had 87.5 tackles during the regular season, including 18 for minus yardage. He was also a force at tight end while leading St. Vincent-St. Mary to a No. 1 ranking in the AP’s regularseason poll, a perfect season and a spot in Thursday night’s Division III state championship game at Massillon’s Paul Brown Tiger Stadium. The Fighting Irish (14-0) are going for their second title in a row. He becomes one of the few players to be honored as Mr. Football who is primarily a defensive player. Most are running backs who go for 2,000 yards or quarterbacks who pass for 40 touchdowns. Booker’s coach, Dan Boarman, has been around. He coached another Mr. Football — 2005 winner Delone Carter — when he was coaching at Copley. Yet Boarman has seen things he has never seen before out of Booker. “His abilities are just amazing: his wingspan, his reach, his vertical,” Boarman said. “He went out for basketball for the first time last year and played on a state finals team. And you know the basketball here is pretty good.” Oh, yeah. Basketball is “pretty good” at St. Vincent-St. Mary. You may have heard of an alumnus named LeBron James. James, who was also an all-state football player when he wasn’t winning three AP Mr. Basketball awards, is no stranger to Booker or the rest of the players at his old high school.
