Acree enters guilty plea to theft from FD
Sarah Hawley

shawley@civitasmedia.com

POMEROY — The man accused of taking money from the
Middleport Fire Department entered a guilty plea to that crime
earlier this month in Meigs
County Common Pleas Court.
According to a guilty plea filed
on Dec. 11 with the Clerk of
Courts Office, David A. Acree, 44,
of Racine, entered a guilty plea to
a single count of grand theft, a
felony of the fourth degree.
Acree was indicted earlier this
year following an investigation
by Major Scott Trussell of the

Meigs County Sheriff’s Office.
According to the indictment,
the crime occurred from October 2011 to April 2013. Grand
Theft, as charged in the indictment, alleges that an amount
greater than $7,500 but less than
$150,000 was stolen. Acree was
the treasurer for the fire department at the time. He is no longer
in that position.
Major Trussell — who handled
the three-month investigation —
said, at the time of the arraignment, that the Meigs County
Prosecutor’s Office had been
contacted in late March by representatives from the Middleport

Fire Department and village with
regard to the suspicion of money
missing from both the checking
and savings accounts.
The prosecutor’s office then
asked Major Trussell to begin an
investigation into the case.
In a report provided by Major Trussell to The Daily Sentinel, the investigation uncovered suspicious checks written
by Acree from the first department account. The checks
were in the amount of $9,540
to A&amp;H Auto Parts on Oct. 23,
2011, and $7,900 to Napa on
June 4, 2012.
According to the report there

is no documentation of purchases approved for the amounts
through fire department meetings or records of purchases from
Napa in those amounts.
Through the investigation,
Major Trussell met with Middleport Mayor Mike Gerlach,
Middleport Police Chief Bruce
Swift and Middleport Fire Chief
Jeff Darst. Darst provided Trussell with the information on the
departments accounts.
The investigation also found
a check for $275 made out to
Acree on July 27, 2010, and a
$500 check to Napa Auto Parts
on Sept. 7, 2012.

In addition to the money from
the four checks, the investigation also uncovered several finance charges and overdraft fees
caused by the lack of funds in the
fire department account and late
payment on bills.
A document filed with the
court indicates that Acree has
paid $14,299.77 in restitution to
the Middleport Fire Department.
Acree will be sentenced at 9:45
a.m. on Jan. 29, 2014.
EDITOR’S NOTE: In the report, it states Acree owned the
local Napa store and operated it
under A&amp;H Auto Parts. He is no
longer the owner of the business.

New Veterans Service officer named
Charlene Hoeflich

choeflich@civitasmedia.com

POMEROY — John Hill of
Middleport, a veteran of the
Iraq War, is the new officer
in the Meigs County Veterans
Service Office located on Memorial Drive in Pomeroy.
He assumes the position
from George Hoffman who
is retiring on Dec. 20.
Hill served in the U. S.
Marines from 2001 to 2005
during which time he had
two tours of duty in Iraq.
He was wounded in 2004,
left the military in 2005,
and was awarded the purple heart. He and his wife
Amber have two children,
a three year old son and an
eight month old daughter.
Talking about his new position, Hill said he is happy to
move into a position where he
can help veterans. “We need
to make sure our veterans are
taken care of,” he said and described his job as one where
he can assist them in navigating the system.
The role of a Veterans Service Office is to “advise and
provide technical assistance
and to explain entitlements
administered by the Federal

COLUMBUS — The Public Utilities Commission of
Ohio (PUCO) approved a plan that will overlay a new
area code, 220, into the existing 740 area code thereby
implementing mandatory 10-digit local dialing beginning March 21, 2015.
Under the plan, all calls that are currently local
will remain local, while long distance calls will continue as such.
“The Commission found that the overlay plan is the
more appropriate and equitable one in order to provide the best long-term relief for the 740 area code,”
stated PUCO Chairman Todd A. Snitchler. “The Commission weighed the input received from the public
and from the Ohio telecommunications industry and
has determined the overlay plan as the least disruptive and fair – treating all existing 740 customers
equally by allowing current customers to retain the
740 area code on all existing lines. Today’s order is
also consistent with the past four Commission orders
in area code relief cases in Ohio.”
According to the North American Numbering Plan
Administrator (NANPA), the 740 area code is projected
to run out of available phone numbers in the second
quarter of 2015. Following today’s approval of an overlay plan, the NANPA will assign the new 220 area code
to parts of central and southeast Ohio, that will co-exist
with the existing geographical boundaries of the 740
area code. All current 740 area code subscribers will continue to maintain the 740 area code. Once the available
phone numbers in the 740 area code exhaust, telephone
numbers in the new 220 area code will be utilized.
In order for subscribers in the 740 area code to become accustom to the pending changes in local dialing,
subscribers will be able to complete local calls by dialing either 10 or seven digits beginning September 20,
2014 and continue for at least six months. After the
six-month grace period, callers will be required to dial
10 digits. Ten-digit dialing means telephone users will
need to dial their area code plus the seven-digit telephone number for all local calls in the future.
On Sept. 24, 2013, the Ohio telecommunications industry reached a consensus and filed a petition to recommend the overlay plan to the Commission. On Nov.
6, 2013, the Commission opened a three-week public
comment period in which over 900 customer responses
were filed with approximately 70 percent in favor of the
overlay option.

All W.Va. ski resorts to
be open starting Friday
CHARLESTON, W.Va. (AP) — Cooler temperatures will
allow all five of West Virginia’s ski resorts to be open Friday, giving the state’s tourism industry an early boost after
warmer weather delayed several openings last ski season.
The ski industry in West Virginia is heavily reliant on
out-of-state visitors, with about 50 percent of its clientele
coming from North Carolina, Virginia and the Washington
area, according to the West Virginia Ski Areas Association.
The association reports that its resorts have an annual economic impact of more than $250 million and
create 5,000 jobs as visitors dine, play and stay in
the state. But that economic driver is dependent on
the right weather conditions so that resorts can make
snow. So far this year, the weather has been cooperating and early bookings have been strong.

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (AP) —
Residents in some parts of the U.S.
are signing up for health care coverage at a significantly greater rate
than others through the new online
insurance marketplaces now operating in every state.
The discrepancy may trace back to the
political leanings of their elected leaders.
Newly released federal figures
show more people are picking private insurance plans or being routed
to Medicaid programs in states with
Democratic leaders who have fully
embraced the federal health care
law than in states where Republican
elected officials have derisively rejected what they call “Obamacare.”
On one side of the political divide
are a dozen mostly Democratic leaning
states, including California, Minnesota
and New York. They have both expanded Medicaid for lower-income adults
and started their own health insurance
exchanges for people to shop for federally subsidized private insurance.
On the other side are two dozen
conservative states, such as Texas,
Florida and Missouri. They have both
rejected the Medicaid expansion and
refused any role in running an online
insurance exchange, leaving that entirely to the federal government.
The new federal figures, providing a
state-by-state breakdown of enrollment
in the new health care program through
November, showed that the political differences among leaders over the initiative are turning into differences in participation among the uninsured.

Even though many conservative
states have higher levels of poverty
and more people without health coverage, fewer of them may receive
new insurance, said Dylan Roby,
an assistant public health professor
at the Center for Health Policy Research at the University of California,
Los Angeles.
With the patchwork implementation of the federal health care law,
“the gap will exacerbate,” Roby said
The U.S. Health and Human Services Department reported this week that
364,682 people had signed up for private coverage through the new health
insurance marketplaces as of Nov. 30
and an additional 803,077 had been
determined eligible for Medicaid.
But the rate of residents gaining
health coverage was more than three
times as great in the states embracing the federal health care law than in
those whose leaders have resisted it.
In the dozen states embracing the
overhaul, more than 50 percent of
those who applied for coverage picked
an insurance plan or were eligible for
Medicaid. That rate was barely 15
percent in the two dozen states that
aren’t cooperating in the implementation of the federal health care law.
“It’s very frustrating,” said U.S.
Sen. Claire McCaskill, a Missouri
Democrat who voted for the federal
law only to see it twice rebuffed in a
statewide vote and repeatedly rejected by her home state’s Republicanled state Legislature.
“The political point has trumped

the services that Missourians need,”
McCaskill said.
In Texas, which has the highest rate
of uninsured residents in the U.S., the
GOP-controlled state Legislature opted not to create a state-run insurance
marketplace and Republican Gov. Rick
Perry also declined to expand Medicaid
to cover more of the working poor. As of
the end of November, just 14,000 Texans had signed up for insurance through
the federally run marketplace and fewer
than 17,000 of the nearly 245,000 applicants on the exchange had been determined to be eligible for Medicaid.
State Rep. Trey Martinez Fischer, a
Democrat from San Antonio who chairs
the Mexican American Legislative Caucus, said he nonetheless remains optimistic about the meager numbers.
“To know that there are people
who, despite those odds, are still enrolling is encouraging,” Fischer said.
In California, which also has a high
uninsured rate, more than 107,000
people had picked an insurance plan
through the state-run marketplace as
of the end of November, and nearly
182,000 others had been determined
eligible for Medicaid. That means
nearly two-thirds of the 448,133 individuals who applied through the
insurance exchange could gain some
sort of coverage.
Federal grants in California have
helped finance TV and radio commercials, billboards, bus signs and
town hall meetings encouraging people to participate in the new health
insurance marketplace.

FAITH AND FAMILY

Advent before
Christmas
While the majority of God’s
people readily acknowledge the
Church is now in the midst of the
season of Advent, other Christians
appear to have forgotten the alphabet. Intrigued by what I just said?
Good; let’s see if I can “learn” you a
thing or two.
My formative years of education encompassed the mid-‘50’s
through the late ‘60’s, and those
were fruitful years for educators
and students alike. Teachers were
effective or were fired: students respected teachers and learned from
them; the exceptions were few and
Thomas Johnson
far in-between.
Pastor
We learned neat stuff like the Alphabet, wherein “a” comes before
“c” and “j” before “s.” You remember this too, right?!?
Well, then — can someone explain to me how and when
and where the “ducks” of our society arbitrarily rearranged
themselves, such that “c” now comes before “a”? Before you
judge me “nuttier than a fruitcake,” allow me to bring to light
some basic Biblical facts.
Merchants recently appealed to us to make Thanksgiving
eve the beginning of the Christmas shopping season; indeed,
the precedent now has been set. Of course, they have to make
a living too, and so avidly encourage us to “shop till we drop”
during these days leading up to Christmas Day itself, all the
while thinking of this as “the most wonderful time of the year.”
My observation is this: numerous Christians devote more of
their energy and time to Christmas festivities and hoopla than
to the Christ of Advent. My conclusion follows: our custom of
giving and receiving presents means more to many of God’s
people than does the Babe of the Manger, the Christ of God
— indeed, God’s gift to us.
Ironically, the same thing unfolds as Easter approaches,
when the emphasis is on flowers and lilies, sweets and treats,
and new clothes for the ladies. Whoops! First, comes that
period of time called “Lent,” the length of which varies from
year-to-year, but during which we have the luxury of weeks to
ponder the events Jesus himself experienced in only a matter
of days.
Looming large over Lent is the essence of Easter itself —
i.e., the Empty Tomb, the Risen Lord. Even so, to de-emphasize Lent as though irrelevant subverts the truth of all Christ
Jesus endured for us, and short-circuits the process of our repenting of our sins which better enables us to appreciate the
Lord’s victory over death and sin, alike.
But, wait: maybe I can inject a slight note of optimism, and
thus ease a few ruffled feathers. Even as I set forth certain
not-so-readily-apparent facets of Christmas and Easter, I must
also concede attendance escalates — big time! — on both occasions.
Where these “C and E’rs” are the rest of the year is a profound mystery. To say they keep a low profile is an understatement, but they certainly are not alone in knowing their actual
whereabouts; God does, too.
By the way: as a freshman in college I dated a Catholic girl,
and attended Christmas Eve Mass with her and her family. I
had always considered Roman Catholics to be the most staid
and solemn of all churched people, but discovered they whispered and carried on just as much as did the members of the
Lutheran Church to which I belonged!
Early on in my ministry, a Roman Catholic priest confided
to me not all his parishioners were as faithful in their attendance as was appropriate, but knew He’d see them on one of
three events which he summed-up as “hatch, match, and dispatch.” In plain English: they were present at their baptism,
when they wanted to be married, and/or when they died and
were to be buried.
Such is our common dilemma. The Christian Church now
is engaged in the greatest battle of all time with the most illinformed and poorly-equipped soldiers ever to take the field.
So, will you be in church this coming Sunday? What will be
your motivation: to be seen? To contribute and participate?
To be entertained? To critique the service, and/or the sermon?
Now is the time to get with the Lord’s program. It’s Advent,
never mind Christmas for now: Jesus Christ ought to be on
our radar — He’s come once; the sequel, His Second Coming,
is due any day now. Advent before Christmas: Jesus Christ,
real and supreme; Santa Claus, not.

Search the Scripture
From the very beginning,
God has taught men that
children are to be respectful
and obedient to their parents. He placed a command
to honor both father and
mother into the Ten Commandments of the Law of
Moses (cf. Exodus 20:12)
and repeated the same commandment in the New Testament (Ephesians 6:1-3).
The respect and obedience
children give their parents
is a recognition of the propriety of authority and the
practice of submission to that
authority. It is also a sign of
righteousness and godliness.
God holds forth cultures and
peoples which lose this respect for parents as typical of
those which reject Him and
the truth (cf. Romans 1:30).
We should thus take parenting seriously and, in love, do
our best to instill a proper attitude towards parents in our
children. Woe to us if we are
counted among those who
do not honor the ones God
has commanded us to honor.
In a similar vein, Christians, as children of God,
must learn to honor and respect our heavenly Father.
Through Christ, God adopts
us. Concerning this, the
Scriptures say, “For as many
as are led by the Spirit of
God, these are sons of God.
For you did not receive the
spirit of bondage again to fear,
but you received the Spirit
of adoption by whom we cry
out, “Abba, Father.” The Spirit Himself bears witness with
our spirit that we are children
of God, and if children, then
heirs—heirs of God and joint

heirs with Christ, if indeed we
suffer with Him, that we may
also be glorified together.”
(Romans 8:14-17)
Peter, speaking of the salvation we have in Christ,
reminds us, “Therefore gird
up the loins of your mind, be
sober, and rest your hope fully
upon the grace that is to be
brought to you at the revelation of Jesus Christ; as obedient children, not conforming
yourselves to the former lusts,
as in your ignorance; but as
He who called you is holy,
you also be holy in all your
conduct, because it is written,
“Be holy, for I am holy.” (1 Peter 1:13-16) The apostle specifically identifies the saints
as being “obedient children,”
and the necessity of trying to
imitate the holy Father.
A few verses further, the
apostle Peter refers once
more to the subject of obedience, stating, “Since you
have purified your souls in
obeying the truth through
the Spirit…” (1 Peter 1:22)
For one to be a child of God
it is necessary that one be
pure. Elsewhere in the Bible
we read, “In this the children
of God and the children of
the devil are manifest: Whoever does not practice righteousness is not of God, nor
is he who does not love his
brother.” (1 John 3:10) Purification and righteousness
comes through obedience
to the truth. Such qualities
are also indicative of who is
and who is not God’s child.
Obedience to the truth is
necessary to become a child
of God and it is necessary to
continue in that obedience.

you rejoice about it. Consider
the Shepherds in that they rejoiced about getting to take
part in the angelic celebration
and their visit with the Lord.
When you celebrate a matter,
you praise God for it (and, you
do, do you not?). Consider the
Shepherds who went back to
their duties “glorifying and
praising God for all that they
had seen and heard.”
We should remember that
Christmas is about Jesus Christ
and His first coming. Jesus
Christ providentially came to
us. But, in that He came to us
one time through His humble
birth, He has indicated most
definitely that He will come a
second time to the earth in His
divine glory. He literally said,
“I will come again.” From the
beginning, His intention was to
come to us twice.
Time for another recapitulation. Five of the ten important
matters to remember about
Christmas is that Jesus is the
reason for the season, Christmas is a literal focus on Jesus
Christ, Christmas is about Jesus Christ, that Christmas is a
celebration about Jesus Christ,
and that Christmas is about Jesus Christ and His first coming.
So, where are we justified in
pushing someone out of the way
just to get the special money
deal on a certain Christmas gift?
Why do so many Church-goers
say they despise Christmas?
Actually, I cited just one important matter to remember at
Christmas (if you noticed). Perhaps remembering the one precludes the remembrance of ten.

most of us love this time of “I wish I could have bought

wish times where better” or
“I wish I had enough to do
more for other friends and

Sure times are tough, and
during the Christmas holidays our faith is often tested.
We want to do more, but we
can’t. We want to eat more,
and we may not be able to.
We want to have guests over
but there isn’t enough to
share. And on and on it goes.
The truth of the matter is,
when our faith does not see
results, it challenges what
we believe. During this time
of the year, much of our
faith is challenged, because
we hear of a great Savior
that was born and our faith
is strong in him, but much
of what we experience does
not seem to line up.
I want to remind you, that

during this Christmas season
there is much to celebrate.
Sure first and foremost, the
fact that our King and Savior
was born, but also, the truth
that your faith, if placed in
the God of the universe and
in the Lord Jesus Christ,
stands on a solid foundation.
Rejoice because God is faithful and your breakthrough
is just ahead. Believe God
that even before the end of
this year your prayers will be
answered. Believe it without
wavering and continue to
stand in what you believe. In
the end, your faith will take
you to places in God that
your talents, skills and abilities could ever take you and
you will be remembered that
because of Christmas you
have life and all of heaven at
your disposal.

POINT
PLEASANT,
W.Va. — The eighth annual
Jason Eades Memorial Duals
wrestling tournament will be
held this Friday and Saturday

The two-day event —
which started as the Point

in 2000 before being renamed to honor Jason

Eades in 2006 — will feature 21 teams from West
Virginia in a three-pool,
round-robin format.
Each team will complete
a head-to-head dual with
the six other teams in
their respective pool, then
a finals round will be held
between the three squads
that finish in the same
team spots from each pool.
From there, the top team
scores from the end of the
day will determine the final overall outcome.

The top three teams
will receive awards and
the tournament will also
crown an Outstanding
Wrestler award. The event
officially starts on Friday
with 2 p.m. weigh-ins, and
fans can start filing in for
the event at 3:45 p.m. The
tournament will continue
throughout Friday evening and will resume Saturday morning at 9 a.m.
until its completion.
Besides host Point
Pleasant, Wahama will be

the only other Ohio Valley Publishing program attending this year’s event.
Other teams participating at the event include Buffalo, Ravenswood, Robert
C. Byrd, Herbert Hoover,
Clay County, Wirt County, Roane County, Shady
Spring, Hurricane, Oak

Jim Osborne, who served as head boys basketball coach at Gallia Academy from 1969 until 2010, was one of four
people chosen to be inducted into the Ohio High School Basketball Coaches Association Hall of Fame as members
of the Class of 2014. Osborne will join Gene Ammirante of Bellaire, Jim Robinson of Maumee and Jim Staley of Centerville as members of the 28th class selected to the OHSBCA Hall of Fame.

Osborne to be inducted into OHSBCA Hall of Fame

COLUMBUS, Ohio — The legend continues to grow.
Former Gallia Academy boys
basketball coach Jim Osborne
picked up another honor to add
to his superlative resume Wednesday after being chosen as one of
four people to the Class of 2014
for induction into the Ohio High
School Basketball Coaches Association Hall of Fame.
Osborne — who amassed a
531-359 overall record in 41 seasons with the Blue Devils — accumulated a 310-196 mark and
11 league titles during his tenure
within the Southeastern Ohio
Athletic League while also leading GAHS to 21 district appearances, 14 sectional titles and two
district championships.
Osborne will join Gene Ammirante of Bellaire, Jim Robinson of

Maumee and Jim Staley of Centerville as members of the 28th Class
chosen to the OHSBCA Hall of
Fame at an induction ceremony at
the Columbus Airpoet Marriott in
Columbus at 5:30 p.m. Saturday,
April 26, 2014.
Osborne — who also served as
a coach in track, baseball and tennis while at GAHS — was named
the SEOAL and Southeast District
coach of the year 12 times apiece
during his basketball tenure and
has also received both the OHSAA
Sportsmanship, Ethics and Integrity Award (2003) and OHSBCA
Paul Walker Award (2009).
Osborne — more commonly
known in southeast Ohio as
Coach Oz — is a member of the
respective halls of fame at Geneva
High School, Wittenberg University and the Ashtabula County
Basketball Foundation, as well
as being a charter member of the
Gallia Academy Athletic HOF.

As a prepster, the southpaw was
best known for his days as a twosport standout in basketball and
baseball at Geneva High School
— located in Ashtabula County.
Before graduating in 1963, Osborne led the Eagles to a combined 31-11 hoops record over his
last two seasons — including a
Class AA district final appearance
his senior year. Osborne was also
named the Star Beacon Ashtabula
County player of the year for his
efforts in the 1962-63 season.
Osborne was also a star pitcher on
the 1963 Ashtabula Rubber Company’s American Legion Baseball state
championship team and signed with
Wittenberg to play both basketball
and baseball. He was also drafted by
the Pittsburgh Pirates.
Osborne has two grown children
(Tige and Tia) and resides in Gallipolis with his wife Jennifer. Osborne
has also served as an Adjunct Teacher at the University of Rio Grande.

Rio’s Filho named First Team All-American; Viera, Dodson on Third Team
Randy Payton

URG Sports Information

KANSAS CITY, Mo. — The
University of Rio Grande,
which spent two weeks at the
top of the NAIA coaches poll
and later reached the quarterfinal round of the national tournament, has placed three players named to the 2013 Men’s
Soccer All-America team.
Sophomore forward Luiz Filho
was named to the First Team,
while senior midfielder Maxi Viera (Montevideo, Uruguay) and
junior goal keeper Jon Dodson
(Tiffin, OH) both received Third
Team recognition.
The squad was selected by
the NAIA All-America commit-

tee, which consists of the NAIAMen’s Soccer Coaches Association Executive Committee, the
National Championship Games
Committee and four men’s soccer coaches, who were selected
based on geography. Each team
- first, second and third - consisted of 11 members.
Filho, a native of Sao Paulo,
Brazil, led the country in both
goals (28) and total points
(59). He scored four goals in a
win over rival Shawnee State on
October 12 and recorded five
additional “hat tricks” (threegoal games) over the course of
the season.
Viera ranked third on the RedStorm (16-3-3) with 19 points,
thanks to six goals and seven

assists. His assist total tied with
two others for the team lead.
Dodson started all 22 games
in goal for Rio, allowing 20 goals
and recording 45 saves in just
over 1,841 minutes of action.
He finished with a .692 save percentage and registered four solo
shutouts among the team’s nine
clean sheets this season.
MidAmerica Nazarene (Kan.)
and Oklahoma Wesleyan were
the only programs to land multiple players on the first team.
Daniel Dunleavy, a second-team
selection, was the lone All-American for national champion Martin Methodist (Tenn.).
National runner-up Auburn
Montgomery (Ala.) led all programs with four All-America

selections - Taian Souza (First
Team), Sebastian Wladyko (Second Team), Vignir Johannesson
(Second Team) and Elvar Sigurdsson (Third Team).
Lindsey Wilson (Ky.) added
to its NAIA-leading total of
all-time All-Americans, which
now sits at 67 with two selections this year. Former-member
Simon Fraser (B.C.) (44), Mobile (Ala.) (43), Westmont (Calif.) (41), Auburn Montgomery
(40) and Rio Grande (39) trail
the Blue Raiders.
Rocky Mountain (Mont.)
senior forward Oliver Gore, a
Stafford, England, native, was
selected as the 2013 Select
Sport America-NAIA National
Player of the Year. Gore is the

first Battlin’ Bear to earn the
honor since the award’s inception in 1997.
Gore, who was an All-America
honorable mention last season,
led Rocky Mountain to back-toback National Championship
appearances in 2012 and 2013 the only National Championship
berths in school history. Gore
scored 20 of the Battlin’ Bears’ 44
goals, a team-high, and recorded
nine assists on the season.
The 2013 Select Sport America-NAIA National Coach of the
Year will be announced at the
National Soccer Coaches’ Association of America (NSCAA)
National Convention, which is
scheduled for Jan. 15-19, 2014,
in Philadelphia, Pa.

Ohio State head coach Urban Meyer is interviewed after the Buckeyes’ win over the Michigan Wolverines at Ohio Stadium
on Saturday, Nov. 24, 2012, in Columbus, Ohio. The Ohio State Buckeyes defeated the Michigan Wolverines, 26-21.

Ohio State, Clemson set for Orange Bowl
HOLLYWOOD, Fla. (AP) —
The last time Ohio State and
Clemson got together in a bowl
game, Buckeyes coach Woody
Hayes punched a Tigers player
and was fired the next day.
On Wednesday at the Orange
Bowl news conference, Ohio
State coach Urban Meyer and
Clemson counterpart Dabo
Swinney traded compliments,
praising each other’s teams.
Clemson won the previous
meeting, 17-15 in the 1978 Gator Bowl. In that game, Hayes
punched Clemson nose guard
Charlie Bauman after he intercepted a late pass.
Meyer has led the Buckeyes to

Rio’s Davis, Garn named
NAIA Scholar-Athletes
Randy Payton
Special to OVP

ORANGE BEACH, Ala.
— Two members of the
University of Rio Grande
women’s soccer team were
among the 507 student-athletes named 2013 Daktronics-NAIA Scholar-Athletes
by the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA).
Junior forward Karla Garn
(Morrow, OH) and junior
midfielder Renee Davis (Amsterdam, OH) represented
the RedStorm on the list.
Davis, a Diagnostic Medical Sonography major, has a
grade point average of 3.89,
while Garn, an Intervention
Specialist major, carries a
3.85 grade point average.
Davis appeared in all

18 games for Rio this fall,
starting in 17 of the contests. Relied on more for
her defensive ability, she
attempted only one shot all
season long.
Garn played in 17 games,
starting three, and finished
with three goals and an assist for seven points. She
also had one game-winning
goal for the RedStorm,
who finished 9-9.
In order to be nominated
by an institution’s head
coach or sports information director, a studentathlete must maintain a
minimum grade point average of 3.5 on a 4.0 scale
and must have achieved a
junior academic status.
Concordia (Neb.) led all
institutions with 11 individuals on the list.

No. 3 OSU rolls
over Bryant, 86-48
COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — When opposing teams scout
No. 3 Ohio State, they seldom notice Lenzelle Smith Jr.
Buckeyes coach Thad Matta hopes they keep ignoring him.
Smith scored 19 points and No. 3 Ohio State pulled
away early to beat Bryant 86-48 on Wednesday night.
“I think Lenzelle has been tremendous — nobody’s
asked me about him this year,” Matta said. “But I think
he’s playing at a very, very high level of being a complete
basketball player.”
Smith, a 6-foot-4 senior guard who does a little of everything, hit 6 of 9 shots from the field including half of his four
3-point attempts. He had eight rebounds and three assists.
“I put a lot of work into my game offensively over the
summer. And my confidence is off the charts,” he said.
“My teammates are stretching the defense and are able
to find me wide open. A lot of teams, for some reason,
are (not guarding) me and I’m getting great looks at the
basket. I’m just driving my legs and trying to get the most
arc I can on the ball — and it’s falling.”
There isn’t much about Smith that grabs people’s attention.
Point guard Aaron Craft is the tough guy who may be
as good a defender on the ball as anyone in the country.
Swingman LaQuinton Ross is 6-8 with a velvet shooting
touch. Sam Thompson comes off the bench to make highflying dunks. Shannon Scott and big man Amir Williams
are game-changing defenders.
And then there’s Smith. He leads the Buckeyes (9-0) in
scoring with 12.9 points a game. He’s shooting 53 percent
from the field, 48 percent behind the arc and 74 percent at
the free throw line. He adds 5.1 rebounds and 1.5 assists
per game — and may be Ohio State’s best help defender.
“They’re so talented. That’s what’s hard about playing
them,” Bryant coach Tim O’Shea said. “Who do you really want to leave open? They’re just an elite team; a very,
very, very elite team.”
Williams added 12 points and nine rebounds for the
Buckeyes, who rolled from the outset of the early round
game in the Blackrock Gotham Classic. It will conclude
on Dec. 21 with the Buckeyes meeting Notre Dame at
Madison Square Garden.

a 12-1 record this year, losing to
Michigan State 34-24 on Saturday night in the Big Ten championship game. Clemson lost two
games this season, to top-ranked
Florida State and the regular- season finale to South Carolina.
“This is a great reward for another excellent season,” Swinney
said at the Seminole Hard Rock
Hotel. “It’s great to be competing
against a great quality opponent
like Ohio State.
“I don’t have any doubt that this
will be a great matchup.”
Meyer offered similar praise,
saying: “Ohio State hasn’t been
here in a long time and we have a
lot of fans in South Florida. I think

Clemson and my good friend Dabo
Swinney will be a great opponent
and it should be an exciting game.”
At stake for Meyer is a chance
to finish a fourth season at 13-1
since 2006. Meyer is the first
coach to lead three different
teams - Utah, Florida and Ohio
State - to a BCS Bowl game.
It’s been a two-year magical
run,” Meyer said. “We experienced some incredible success
over the last two years and we’re
going to try and get our 13th win.
“I can tell you this, every team in
America wakes up in August and
wants to play in a BCS Bowl game and
we’re one of the few teams that get to
do that so we’re honored to be here.”

AP Sports Briefs
Group wants Columbus
arena payment issue on ballot
COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — A group
wants Columbus residents to vote on
whether the city should be paying for its
professional hockey team’s home arena,
and it has collected enough signatures to
get the issue on the May ballot.
That means voters will be asked whether to end the city’s purchase contract for
Nationwide Arena, home of the Columbus
Blue Jackets.
The Columbus Dispatch (http://bit.
ly/1gpzRVp ) reports elections officials
confirmed the citizens group collected
more than the roughly 5,000 verified signatures needed to put the initiative on the
ballot.
The president of the group says it

doesn’t object to the arena but thinks the
public should have had a say in the purchase agreement. The city and county
agreed in 2011 to use casino tax revenue
to help buy and maintain the facility for
decades.
LeBron James early

NEW YORK (AP) — LeBron James is

by about 2,000 votes in the first returns
announced by the league on Thursday.

NASCAR does final test
for 2014 rules package
CONCORD, N.C. (AP) — NASCAR took the final step toward setting its 2014 rules package with a
critical test session Wednesday at
Charlotte Motor Speedway.
The test featured four simulated
races with four configurations on
the Gen-6 Sprint Cup Series car.
Drivers had to attend a mandatory
debrief with NASCAR following
each session to give feedback on
the aerodynamic, engine and suspension combinations.
NASCAR had 30 cars participating in
the test, and planned to choose the configuration most favorable among drivers
to test with a tapered spacer designed to
reduce engine horsepower.
The goal of the test is to improve
the racing at 1.5-mile superspeedways,
which has been a stated goal of NASCAR Chairman Brian France. He was
scheduled to attend the test Monday,
but rain postponed it until Wednesday.
“Really what we’re attempting to do
here is to get closer competition and
more passing, closer competition, the
cars running closer in the pack, passing
more with an eye for the fans,” Gene
Stefanyshyn, NASCAR’s vice president
of innovation and racing development.

NASCAR taps Small to run Iowa Speedway
DES MOINES, Iowa (AP)
— NASCAR has selected
28-year-old “rising star” Jimmy Small as the president of
its newest acquisition, the
Iowa Speedway.
The appointment of
Small, a senior marketing
manager for NASCAR,
was announced Thursday
at a press conference in
Des Moines promoting
NASCAR’s purchase of the
track last month.
Eric Nyquist, NASCAR’s
vice president for strategic
development, said Small’s
energy and background in
improving the fan experience, sponsor relations
and ticket sales helped convince the organization to
put him in charge of Iowa.
Small has been with
NASCAR in a variety of capacities since 2008, most
recently with team marketing services in the NASCAR Industry Services
department.
“He’s had a great track
record,” Nyquist said of
Small. “He’s stepping into
quite an important role
here, and I know that he’s
going to be quite a success…he loves racing and

he’s passionate about this
opportunity.”
NASCAR bought the
short track just east of Des
Moines from Featherlite
Inc., founder Conrad Clement and his family, who
owned it for two years.
NASCAR is the Speedway’s third owner since
it opened in 2006 for $70
million.
Neither Nyquist nor
Small would say how much
NASCAR spent for the
Iowa track, with Nyquist
saying simply that it was a
“fair price.”
The Newton Daily News
reported last week that
NASCAR paid just $10 million for the track.
“We saw this as a very
strategic play for us. To
step in and take a facility
that has performed well
to date, and work with the
city, the state, our partners, the fan base and our
collective industry to take
Iowa Speedway to another
level,” Nyquist said.
The Iowa Speedway is
scheduled to host an IndyCar race and two NASCAR
Nationwide series events
in 2014, though it’ll have

just one NASCAR trucks
race after hosting two in
recent years.
NASCAR has been adamant that it has no immediate plans to award a
Sprint Cup Series race to
Iowa, which could threaten
to stifle enthusiasm over
NASCAR’s
involvement
with the facility.
But Small pointed to
strong ticket sales in previous years and the popularity of short-track racing Iowa — including the
annual Knoxville Nationals sprint car championships — as proof that the
track can remain viable
for years to come.
“It’s hard to go into specifics about how we keep
(the fans) piqued, but I can
tell you is that’s what I get
really excited about. Our
goal with this acquisition
and the operation moving
forward is for Iowa Speedway to be the crown jewel,
the race that all Nationwide competitors, Camping World trucks series
competitors, K&amp;N Pro Series competitors and IndyCar drivers circle on their
calendars,” Small said.

Rangers from the Colorado Rockies in the
Triple-A portion of baseball’s winter meeting draft.
The Rangers made the Rule 5 pick
Thursday. Wilson, who played minor
league baseball for parts of two seasons
before becoming an NFL star, will be
placed on Texas’ restricted list.
Wilson was drafted as a second baseman by the Rockies in the fourth round of
the 2010 amateur draft out of North Carolina State, where he excelled at both baseball and football. In two seasons at the
Class A level he hit .229 with five homers
and 26 RBIs.
In 2011, he left the Rockies for football
at the University of Wisconsin. He was required to return to the Rockies a portion
of his $200,000 signing bonus.

NASCAR vice president of competition Robin Pemberton said the goal was
to use the data collected Wednesday to
set 2014 rules “ASAP. Hopefully beginning of next week.”
Testing for the season-opening Daytona 500 begins Jan. 9 at Daytona International Speedway.
Among the four test car configurations on which data was accumulated
and will be sorted through over the coming hours and days were:
—Splitters with a square leading
edge.
—Skirts at four-inch minimum
ground clearance on both sides of car.
—Rear fascia trimmed 1.375 inches
higher in current scallop region.
—9-inch rear spoiler with 1-by-14inch-wide end tabs.
—8.375-inch rear spoiler with 1-by14-inch end tabs.
—1.5-inch high by 37.5-inch wide
roof strip.
—43-inch wide by 13-inch long radiator pan.
—Intake manifold to throttle body

ers. The Heat’s Dwyane Wade (396,279)
is the East’s top vote-getter in the backcourt, followed by the Cavaliers’ Kyrie Irving (365,712).
Paul George of the Indiana Pacers
(489,335) and the New York Knicks’ Carmelo Anthony (424,211) are next in the
Eastern Conference.
The Rockets’ Dwight Howard (295,120)
