Legionnaires hold January fling By Charlene Hoeflich choeflich@mydailysentinel.com POMEROY — It’s never to late to celebrate! So, since the traditional holiday dinner party of Drew Webster Post 39, American Legion, didn’t get worked into the December schedule, members decided to have a January fling. Legionnaires and guests filled the hall, a delicious dinner was served at decorated tables, and the popular Jim “Sunny” Sundquist entertained with medleys of the old familiar songs. L.S. Pauley, commander of the 8th District of the Ohio American Legion, was among the legionnaires and many guests who joined the party where a good time was had by all.

All proceeds benefit the Southern Alumni Association and the Hilton “Big Fooze” Wolfe, Jr. scholarship fund. Festivities are slated to begin with the girls game at 5 p.m., Saturday at the Charles Hayman Gymnasium. All female players and cheerleaders should report to the gym by 4:30 p.m., and all male players should report by 5:45 p.m. Most likely, teams will be divided up by odd years versus even years in their respective age groups. The Hilton “Big Fooze” Wolfe, Jr., Scholarship provides scholarships to graduating seniors. Wolfe was a former mathematics and Ohio History teacher in the Southern Local School District and also a basketball coach and longtime baseball coach. “The event is important because it helps students who need assistance with going to college,” son Scott Wolfe said. “The event also carries on what dad stood for. He believed in kids, and he would go out of his way to help them … that’s what the scholarship represents.” Admission is $4 for adults and $1 for students. Students K-8 will be admitted free with a ticket given to them at school. Players and cheerleaders participating will have an additional $4 registration, making a total $8 commitment to play or cheer. Organizers note if “you don’t pay, you don’t play.” Students singing or in the band will be admitted free with coupon. Players wishing to participate may do so by paying the $8 registration fee at the door. No pre-registration is necessary. Once again, to accommodate more players, there will be three men’s games to assure more playing time, and one women’s game. Home National Bank will also have their “Cash Scramble” where fans will have the opportunity to get significant cash as part of the hometown festivities. Fans can participate in the scramble for cash prizes. Southern Elementary’s first through fourth grade See FOOZE |‌ 3 TUPPERS PLAINS — Months of research and negotiation came to an end during Wednesday’s Eastern Local Board of Education meeting as the board approved the purchase of a digital radio system. Eastern Local Transportation Director Archie Rose spoke to the board about the need for the new digital radio system. Federal regulations will require a switch to a narrower band width in early 2013, resulting in less coverage area on the old analog radios currently in place on the district’s buses and in the schools. Rose and Superintendent Scot Gheen pointed to safety concerns if a bus running a route in the district could not use the radio system. The board approved the purchase of the radios from Lloyd’s Electronics. The total purchase price for the 17 on-bus units, nine hand held units and one repeater will be $21,757.20 — much less than the original estimate provided last fall. The ‘icom’ radios are the same system used by branches of the military. The system has GPS capabilities that can be activated at a later date for an additional cost. Funds to purchase the radios will come from the transportation fund. The purchase of a natural gas generator for the ele- mentary school kitchen was also approved by the board. The generator is estimated to cost $30,000, but according to discussion, would save the district money in the case of a power outage. The funds for the generator will come from the kitchen fund. Placement of three power poles in front of the schools were approved as part of the American Electric Power (AEP) line upgrades that will be done between Tuppers Plains and Chester. Three poles will be placed near the walking path, to make a total of five poles. According to board member Floyd Ridenour, the wires will likely be no lower than 32 feet above the ground. Advertisement for the purchase of a new bus was approved. Board Legislative Liaison Dennis Eichinger asked Gheen about the impact of the Ohio Core legislation on the district. Gheen explained that Core was put in place a few years ago, allowing for freshmen to opt in or opt out of classes depending on their post high school plans. While this can better prepare students for the future, it can place a financial strain on the district. Teacher Cindy Chadwell spoke to the board about the Comprehensive Continuous Improvement Plan which the district’s teachers began to work on WednesSee EASTERN ‌| 3 Chester firefighters awarded FEMA grant By Charlene Hoeflich choeflich@mydailysentinel.com CHESTER — The Chester Volunteer Fire Department has been awarded a grant of $34,443 by the U. S. Department of Homeland Security’s Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) through the Assistance to Firefighters Grants program. Announcement of the grant, which is to be used to bolster firefighter safety, was made today by U. S. Senator Sherrod Brown (DOH). “Our first responders put their lives on the line every day across Ohio,” said Brown. “These funds ensure that firefighters in Chester have the resources they need to perform their jobs safely.” “We’re glad to receive word of this grant money,” said Charles Radford, trea- surer for the fire department upon hearing the word. He said it will be used for turnout gear for the firemen and probably buy a thermal imaging camera. He said the department had applied for a larger amount so they could buy hydraulic extrication equipment, but they were happy about what they got. The Assistance to Firefighters Grants (AFG) program is an integral component in the Department of Homeland Security’s effort to strengthen the nation’s general level of preparedness and capacity to respond to fire and related dangers, according to FEMA. AFG awards grants to departments and EMS organizations that are not directly affiliated with a hospital in an effort to enhance their ability to protect the health and safety of the public. �Friday, February 17, 2012 Meigs County Briefs Salem Township Trustees meetings SALEM CENTER — Salem Township Trustees will hold its monthly meetings the last Monday of each month.

Iran says it’s the victim in nuclear showdown DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) — Facing international sanctions over its nuclear program, Iran is taking the position that it’s the victim, not the aggressor. Iran is pointing to the cases of five slain scientists whose deaths it blames on Israel and its allies. From Iran’s view, it’s been the target of clandestine hit squads for more than two years while the West has ignored Iran’s claims that the Israeli Mossad spy agency is the mastermind. “Iran’s official line is that it’s under siege, not the aggressor. This shows up everywhere in Iran’s policies and statements,” said Mustafa Alani, an analyst at the Gulf Research Center based in Geneva. President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad spoke on national television Wednesday next to photos of five nucle- ar scientists and researchers killed since 2010. Nearby was a large portrait of Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei holding the son of Mostafa Ahmadi Roshan, a senior director of Iran’s main uranium enrichment facility, who was killed last month after a magnetic bomb tore through his car in Tehran. During earlier ceremonies to insert domestically made fuel rods at a Tehran research reactor, Ahmadinejad lifted to his knee the daughter of nuclear electronics expert Darioush Rezaeinejad, who was fatally shot last year by a pair of gunmen on motorcycles. Iran’s nuclear chief, Fereidoun Abbasi, embraced the girl. The ribbon-cutting was done by the teenage son of slain nuclear scientist Majid Shahriari, who was killed in a November 2010 blast that also wounded Abbasi. Dear Dr. Brothers: I met a great guy on a dating website. We went out three times, and while he alluded to his job as being serviceoriented and “professional,” he seemed reluctant to say exactly what it is that he does. Well, tonight he revealed that he is the owner of four funeral homes! And worse yet, he has a “handson” position there, if you know what I mean. While that is admirable, am I terribly shallow to be creeped out by this? How can I get past this, or not hurt his feelings by fleeing? — L.S. Dear L.S.: It’s always a toss-up when we meet up with someone from the Internet. You never quite know what’s coming, but luckily most of the time if we are prudent and trust our instincts, the people we meet are perfectly harmless at worst and a love connection at best. I’m sure you are kicking yourself for not insisting on knowing more about your potential date before you met up. I’m sure he has learned that the sooner he reveals his profession to women, the sooner they want nothing to do with him. So you can’t really blame him for being reticent about his profession — it’s probably ruined more than one potential friendship or love affair. So, now what? You might need to take some time to absorb all this and decide if it’s really a deal-breaker. If you decide, upon reflection, that you just can’t date or become serious about someone in the funeral business, it’s unfortunate but nothing to beat yourself up about. There are women who will date only lawyers and doctors, so it doesn’t reflect shallowness on your part — just something that’s unacceptable to your particular psyche. Better to let him down easy now than to lead him on if you really don’t think you can overcome your feelings. He may be disappointed, but I doubt he’ll blame you — unfortunately, he’s probably used to it. *** Dear Dr. Brothers: I am in my early 50s and newly divorced. So much has changed since I dated 20 years ago. For example, I’m interested in this phenomenon of friends with benefits, since I am nowhere near looking for anything serious so soon after my breakup. But is this only for younger people, or if I tried it, would it be impossible to manage? I don’t want to end up making a mistake, or act cheap or undignified. Advice, please? — J.O. Dear J.O.: The concept of friends with benefits is a popular one with young people who aren’t ready for any sort of commitment but want to be upfront about meeting their sexual needs without the consequences of being dumped or falling in love. But since it’s a somewhat artificial construct in the first place, it doesn’t always work out, and people get hurt. We all like to feel very attractive, irresistible and lovable. When friends get together for sex, our expectations that are on a very personal level have to be squelched. This can be wearing on an individual — she may feel, on a subconscious level, that she’s going to win her friend’s heart, available or not. So, sex without emotions is more than some women — and some men — can handle. And sometimes users target women who want to try the concept and are seeking a genuine friend to do it with. If they find the “friends” part lacking, and believe that in the final analysis they were merely being used, it’s likely to hurt even more than having been taken advantage of by a stranger. So with all this in mind, be very careful about who you open your heart to, and make sure you thoroughly discuss your mutual goals beforehand. There is no reason for you to be giving out benefits without the benefit of friendship. You can always try the good old-fashioned method of dating before rushing into anything so risky as friends with benefits.

(AP) — “Got milk?” is getting to be a difficult question when it comes to organic. Because even as more consumers are willing to pay premium prices for organic milk, supermarkets are having trouble keeping it on the shelves as high feed and fuel prices have left some organic dairy farmers unable to keep up with demand. “The market has surged faster than supply,” said George Siemon, CEO of Wisconsin-based Organic Valley, the nation’s largest cooperative of organic farmers, “and at the same time we had high feed costs reduce supply, so we had a double hit here.” Organic milk shortages are nothing new. As the milk which federal regulations require be from cows fed organic feed and free from production-boosting synthetic hormones rose in popularity during the past decade, there haven’t always been enough farmers to meet demand (it can take three years to transition a conventional dairy farm to organic). The shortages have been serious enough that major chains like Hannaford Supermarkets in the Northeast and Publix Super Markets in the South recently posted signs in the milk aisle advising shoppers of reduced supply. Some relief is expected with the seasonal spring boost in production. But industry watchers say this shortage is more worrisome because of the alarming jumps in the price of organic corn and other feed coupled with higher fuel costs. “It’s kind of like a treadmill thing,” said Siobhan Griffin, an upstate New York organic farmer whose cows chomp hay in a hilly pasture. “If you make less milk you make less money, and then you can’t afford to make more milk.” After a recent dip during the recession, sales of organic milk which can sell for twice as much or more as conventional milk are strong again. Sales for organic whole milk were up 16 percent from January through November of last year compared with a year earlier, even as sales of conventional milk declined, according to federal agricultural statistics. Molly Keveney, a spokeswoman for Horizon Organic, the No. 1 selling organic milk-brand, estimated a 7 percent growth in organic milk demand in a time of flat supply. Some farmers have switched to less expensive feed, but that reduced production. Griffin, who runs Raindance Organic Farm 55 miles west of Albany, is losing money as costs outrun prices. She sold 15 cows in the fall so she could afford to buy feed for her remaining cows. In Elko, Minn., Tim Zweber of Zweber Farms said his family sold about 20 milking cows since the fall because of the feed costs, leaving them with about 100. Zweber who like Griffin is a member of the Organic Valley cooperative said the price his family receives for its milk versus the high costs of producing it results in margins that are very tight. “If you can’t make any money doing it, take the word ‘sustainable’ out of organic,” Zweber said with a laugh. In fact, some struggling farms are switching back to conventional milk or leaving the dairy business entirely. Milk Thistle Farm, a Hudson Valley farm that was a popular vendor at New York City farmers markets, recently announced that it no longer could afford to continue production. Horizon and Organic Valley say they have more dairy farmers making the transition to organic. But Ed Maltby of the Northeast Organic Producers Alliance said not as many farmers are making the switch because of the economics. The farmers’ plight illuminates an unusual feature of the U.S. dairy economy: Most farmers do not set their own milk prices. Organic farmers typically enter into contracts with processors. This provides stability compared with the month-to-month pricing of conventional milk, but it has caused problems once food and fuel costs took off. Both Organic Valley and Horizon Organic, owned by Dean Foods Co., have raised the prices they pay to farmers to account for higher production costs. But many struggling farmers say they need more. The Northeast Organic Producers Alliance, for instance, is petitioning for a 60 cent a gallon hike. The Western Organic Dairy Producers Alliance recently sent a letter to processors seeking an increase that would add 22 cents to a half gallon for consumers That might be a tough sell. There are questions over just how much consumers even those who will pay a premium to support sustainable family farms will pay for a half gallon of milk. Western alliance president Tony T. Azevedo said he’d like to induce retailers to kick more of their percentage back to the farmers, though he acknowledges that’s “a pretty daunting task.” Some farm advocates say additional price pressure comes from industrial-style organic farming operations with 1,000 or more milking cows that are producing more milk for “private label” store brands sold in supermarkets and box stores. The large-scale operations, some with their own processing plants, can produce the milk less expensively than traditional farms and put pressure on all producers to keep prices low. The growth of these industrial-style operations has angered small-farm advocates who say they violate the spirit of organic, sustainably produced food. “Forget about the letter of the law for a second, these do not comport with the values that the consumers think they’re supporting when they’re buying organic milk,” said Mark Kastel of the Wisconsin-based farm-policy group The Cornucopia Institute. Though no one knows when supply will catch up with demand, many ex- VOTE CARSON pect it to at least ease in a couple of months with the production boost that comes each spring when the fields are in bloom and cows can graze. Hannaford is telling customers to expect more consistent inventory levels in April. Maltby is more pessimistic. “Perhaps when the cows go out to pasture in the spring, there might be an increase in production, but we don’t anticipate that happening dramatically,” Maltby said. “Nothing will really change until the price that the farmer gets paid starts to meet their cost of production.” CROW JUDGE LIFELONG MEIGS COUNTY RESIDENT “AV” PREEMINENT RATING - Highest possible rating in both Legal Ability and Ethical Standards “SWIFT AND FAIR JUSTICE FOR ALL” PAID FOR BY THE CANDIDATE: CARSON CROW, BOX 668 POMEROY, OH 45769 Fooze From Page 1 students will be on hand to sing the National Anthem, while the first and second graders will sing the Southern fight song, “Stand up and Cheer.” The Southern Band, under the direction of Chad Dodson, will also be on hand for the event, accompanying the students in their performances.

Lopez Publisher Stephanie Filson Managing Editor �The Daily Sentinel Faith & Family Page 4 Friday, February 17, 2012 Jesus is Lord. Repent and be saved. Having acquired a great many books in my lifetime, many times I have purged my shelves of those no longer relevant, or no longer of any interest. Since reading was what I did to keep my sanity while in the service, the local library in my hometown was the foremost beneficiary when I parted with the books I had acquired during my enlistment. Since old habits tend to die hard, much to my wife’s chagrin I still am wont to purchase a book or two every now and then. My beloved wife is of the opinion I could just as easily — and certainly, at no expense to our budget — obtain said book(s) from the library here in Pomeroy. I’m willing to concede she has a point, but when you own a book it’s yours to read any time you’re in the mood. Recently, I “unearthed” one which I actually acquired some years back, but evidently set aside at the time and no doubt took up other reading material. This very title of this book explicitly sets forth the charge that many contemporary Christians are ashamed of the Gospel! Even before I started to read this book, which was published in the early to mid-1990’s, I was experiencing this phenomenon for myself. I recall a show on television about that same time, which showed a around for the fun of it. Not even church totally devoid of any a fool would do anything so stucrosses therein.

Aside from the fact He himJesus used this analogy as a way of saying self was crucified and died on that Cross at His disciples were to no longer indulge their Calvary, Jesus specifically admonished his egos, and instead of thinking in terms of their followers their lives likewise would involve a own importance and self-worth they are to cross—but NOT one of their own choosing! give full control of their lives to Christ that (Mk. 8:34-35). He might do with them as He so ordains. ObIn that day and age, no one dragged a cross viously, this is easier said than done; people naturally tend to be protective of themselves, and safeguard their own agendas. Nevertheless, so long as a so-called disciple of Jesus continues to insist on having things the way he desires, intends, or wants them to be, and simultaneously refuses to accept the manifest costs involved in living a life of complete commitment and servitude to the Lord, such a person has neither denied himself nor has he taken up his cross. In short, such a one is NOT a true Christian; he may claim the name, but he’s not playing the Lord’s game! It as the great German Lutheran theologian Dietrich Bonhoeffer said: … “When Christ invites someone to be His disciple, He is calling that person to die.” Though one may not offend the authorities as Bonhoeffer did the Nazis of WW2 Germany, who hanged him in spite, there is an essential spiritual death every disciple must undergo to be worthy of the Lord’s name. If we the Church should ever cease to be uniquely the Lord’s faithful ones, if for any reason we should choose to conform to the world instead of challenging the evil and corruption thereof, if we cease to proclaim the Gospel, then let us not be surprised to one day hear the stones all along the Ohio River themselves cry out … “Jesus is Lord!

There is a great difference in reading something and having true knowledge to send money to TV ministries, go to this big conference or revival, and spend money and understanding of something.

Make it a Great Day! about today nor about the future: “What if this the second coming of Christ Temporal life is a blessed gift from God about which should be filled with thanksgiving and commitment to God. Here in America we experience in manifold ways the deep rich blessings of God. But, the Scripture teaches that Christians should also anticipate and desire the Second Coming of Jesus Christ. We should not be so consumed with the ease of life in general that we deliberately ignore the current transpiration of world events, the overt speech of a new world order and oneworld government, and the grabbing of financial and political power by elitist systems being exposed and becoming apparent during these days in which we live. The people of the Church fall into grievous error if we do not keep before us the truth that Christ is coming again, as well as advancing the truth that Christ is coming again. For the people of the Church, it begins with faith in the veracity of Jesus Christ, who made it clear He is coming again. But, it also continues in terms of attitude, mindset, and perspective. For example, I once talked with an individual who assured me that they were a born-again believer in Jesus Christ. During the conversation, the person directed a question to me involving the subject of the Second Coming of Christ. After I answered the question, the individual added the comment, “Well, I hope that Christ does not come back anytime soon, because I Ron Branch Pastor have a lot of living I want to live.” Wrong attitude! But, it remains typical of so many. Rather, we should both expect His Second Coming at any time, and we should pray that His Second Coming come soon. If we are to be convicted about having the proper attitude, it will help if we consider three basics concerning Christ’s coming again. The starting point has to involve knowing that Scripture exhorts us to have the right attitude. For example, I Thessalonians 1:10 teaches that we should be waiting “for the Son to return from Heaven.” I Thessalonians 5:6 instructs us to “not sleep, as others, but to watch and remain sober” in expectation of the divine event. Apostle Paul was clear that he loved the expectation of the Second Coming of Christ, but that we should also love it as well. The Writer of Hebrews wrote that we should not quit corporate worship, as some do, but that we should exhort and encourage one another the more so as we see the day of Christ’s coming approaching. Concerning the Second Coming of Christ, be Scripturallybased. Second, right attitude involves being spiritually-based. During these last days, it is clear that the people of the Church in general are experiencing a condition of spiritual insensitivity to the things of God, like the subject of the Second Coming of Christ. While the Church is exhorted not to be conformed to the things of the world, such is exactly what most are doing. While the Church is exhorted to “come out and be separate,” it just ain’t happening so good—-pardon the grammar. The Church seems so bent on being intoxicated with the things of the world, and bent on shrinking back from faith. Our expectation and preparedness for the Second Coming will never happen if we are spiritually inept in our profession of faith in Christ. We must have a Holy Spirit-inspired, Bible-based perspective in order keep this life we live and the expectation of the eternal life we are going to live in proper perspective. Where the rubber meets the road is maintaining the specific attitude like Apostle John had. When John heard the Lord say that He was coming, John responded specifically with (in so many terms), “Come on back, Lord!” If you will receive it, things for the redeemed will be much better when He does return. Search the scriptures “…these were more noble…they searched the scriptures daily…” With the time approaching when citizens will have the opportunity to choose governmental leaders, today we look at an incident in Jesus life. Jesus lived under the Mosaic law during his 30+ years on earth, and the secular government under which He lived was the Roman system. Jesus sets the example of obeying governmental authority. Much of the anger and ridicule aimed at Jesus came from the religious leaders of His day, and they were always looking for a way to discredit Him. “Then the Pharisees took counsel how they might entangle him in his talk. And they sent out unto him their disciples with the Herodians, saying, Master, we know that thou art true, and teachest the way of God in truth, neither carest thou for any man; for thou regardest not the person of men. Tell us therefore, What thinkest thou? Is it lawful to give tribute unto Caesar, or not? But Jesus perceived their wickedness, and said, Why tempt ye me, ye hypocrites? Shew me the tribute money. And they brought unto him a penny. And he saith unto them, Whose is this image and superscription? They say unto him, Caesar’s. Then saith he unto them, Render therefore unto Caesar the things which are Caesar’s; and unto God the things that are God’s” [Matthew 22:15-21]. This discourse took place during the last week of Jesus’ earthly life, and should have been freshly in the minds of His hearers, but look how Jesus’ statement, “Render therefore unto Caesar the things which are Caesar’s,” was twisted at His trial: “And the whole multitude of them arose, and led him [Jesus] to Pilate; and they began to accuse him, saying, We found this fellow perverting the nation, and forbidding to give tribute to Caesar,…” [Luke 23:1-2]. We increasingly see our nation’s government being if not outright antagonistic toward Christians, then tolerating suppression of the freedoms of speech and assembling, not recognizing Christians are taught by God to be lawabiding, productive, and supportive of the government, insofar as governmental laws do not conflict with God’s laws. Study Romans 13:1-9. “Now there arose up a new king over Egypt, which knew not Joseph. And he said unto his people, Behold, the people of the children of Israel are more and mightier than we: Come on, let us deal wisely with them; lest they multiply, and it come to pass, that, when there falleth out any war, they join also unto our enemies, and fight against us,…And the king of Egypt spake to the Hebrew midwives,…when ye do the office of a midwife to the Hebrew women,… if it be a son, then ye shall kill him: but if it be a daughter, then she shall live. But the midwives feared God, and did not as the king of Egypt commanded them, but saved the men children alive” [Exodus 1:8-10, 1517]. The writer of the New Testament book of Hebrews tells us: “By faith Moses, when he was born, was hid three months of his parents, because they saw he was a proper child; and they were not afraid of the king’s commandment” [11:23]. The bravery of the midwives and of Moses’ parents will encourage Christians to respect God’s law over any government-made law that contradicts His. The government of the United States, while not yet requiring the abortion of children, does, through legalizing abortion and using government funds to pay for abortions, encourage the murder of these innocent ones, and go against God’s instruction, “These… things doth the Lord hate:…hands that shed innocent blood” [Proverbs 6:16,17]. �Friday, February 17, 2012 www.mydailysentinel.com The Daily Sentinel • Page 5 WORSHIP GOD THIS WEEK Please email changes to mdtnews@mydailytribune.com Fellowship Apostolic Church of Jesus Christ Apostolic Van Zandt and Ward Road.

Hayman Gymnasium and never looked back. The Tornadoes handed Alexander it’s sixth straight loss, 65-51. Southern (14-3) outscored the Spartans (4-14) 13-11 in the first period of play and kept the momentum going into the second going on a 2215 run. The Tornadoes took the 35-26 lead into the half. After the half the Tornadoes slowed the pace down and held AHS to eight points in the period. SHS scored 13 in the third and took the 48-34 lead into the finale. The teams played evenly in the final stanza each scoring 17 points and allowing Southern to take its third consecutive victory and its 14th of the season, 65-51. Southern’s scoring was led by Andrew Roseberry with 17 points and eight eight rebounds, followed by Ryan Taylor with 11 points includ- ing three three-point field goals. Nathan Roberts was also in double figures with 10 points, while Ethan Martin finished with eight points, and Chandler Drummer had seven points. Tristen Wolfe and Adam Pape each finished with five points and Marcus Hill, who took three charges in the victory, scored two points for SHS. AHS had a pair of players in double figures, led by Braden Jones with 14 points, and Zach Whefler with 10 points. The Tornadoes remain in the hunt for a share of the Tri- Valley Conference Hocking Division title, but they need a little help. Southern needs to win the rest of their games and have Waterford defeat Belpre Friday night. With the win SHS proves again they can hang with the big boys improving to 3-0 against the TVC Ohio this season. The Spartans fall to 1-3 against TVC Hocking opponents and fall to 0-3 in games played in Meigs County this season. Southern returns to action Friday night in Charles W. Hayman Gymnasium against “in county” and TVC Hocking rival Eastern as they look for revenge for their December 20th 63-55 loss at the hands of the Eagles.

Lady Oaks top Meigs, 83-37 Bryan Walters bwalters@mydailytribune.com JACKSON, Ohio — The Meigs girls basketball team ran into a buzzsaw Wednesday night in its Division III sectional semifinal at Jackson High School, as defending state runner-up Oak Hill led wire-to-wire in an 83-37 decision in the Apple City. The 15th-seeded Lady Marauders (3-18) — who had only one senior on the floor — showed their youth, as the second-seeded Lady Oaks (18-3) forced 19 first quarter turnovers en route to a 26-6 lead after eight minutes of play. Meigs had 30 turnovers by halftime and trailed 46-15 at the intermission, and also finished the night with a 41 turnovers in all. Oak Hill, which is aiming for its 16th straight sectional title, will face seventhseeded Zane Trace in the final at 4:30 p.m. Saturday at Jackson High School. The Lady Pioneers defeated 10th-seeded Rock Hill in overtime by a 58-52 margin in the other sectional semifinal at JHS Wednesday night. The Lady Oaks — a three-time D-3 state runnerup over the last eight years — led 10-0 less than two minutes into regulation, but the Lady Marauders countered with a 6-2 surge to pull within 12-6 at the 3:40 mark of the opening period. OHHS closed the canto with a 14-0 run to claim an early 20-point edge. Oak Hill followed with a 20-5 charge over seven minutes to claim their biggest lead of the first half at 4611, but MHS answered with four straight points to close the half — making it a 46-15 contest at the intermission. The Lady Marauders, however, never came closer the rest of the way. See LADY ‌| 8 Gary W.

Daytona win hasn’t led to full-time ride for Bayne DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. (AP) — A year later, Trevor Bayne still can’t quite believe the whirlwind of instant notoriety that followed his wild Daytona 500 victory. Bayne fondly recalls taking a congratulatory phone call from Vice President Joe Biden, meeting a list of celebrities that included Pamela Anderson, and talking to an athlete he’s often compared with, Tim Tebow. What all that newfound fame hasn’t done for Bayne, though, is get him a full-time ride in NASCAR’s Sprint Cup series or a guaranteed starting spot in this year’s Daytona 500. Bayne’s team, Wood Brothers Racing, currently plans to run him in 14 Sprint Cup series races this season. For now, at least, he doesn’t have a full-time Nationwide Series ride either. “It’s OK,” Bayne said at Thursday’s media day at Daytona Interna- Kent Sanborn photo/SouthernOhioSportsPhotos.com Friday, February 17 Girls Basketball Point Pleasant at Scott, 7:30 p.m. Boys Basketball Eastern at Southern, 6:30 p.m. Meigs at Athens, 6:30 p.m. Miller at South Gallia, 6:30 p.m. Portsmouth at Gallia Academy, 5 p.m. Point Pleasant at Tolsia, 7:30 p.m. Wahama at Buffalo, 6:30 p.m. Hannan at Saint Joseph Central, 7:30 p.m. Wrestling Ohio Tournament Division II and III sectionals at Athens HS, 5:30 p.m. W.Va.

It just shows how tough it is right now. Here we are at Roush Fenway Racing with great things to offer and it’s still tough for us, so we’re working really hard at that.” Bayne certainly hoped his Daytona 500 win would catapult him into a full-time ride right away, but he’s remaining patient for now. “It’s almost like being a part of the family there,” Bayne said of the See DAYTONA |‌ 8 Hall of Fame catcher Gary Carter dies at 57 Meigs freshman Brook Andrus (30) dribbles the ball down the floor while being chased by Oak Hill’s Breanna Butler, right, durNEW YORK (AP) — ing Wednesday night’s Division III girls sectional semifinal at Hall of Fame catcher Gary Jackson High School in Jackson, Ohio. OVP Schedule tional Speedway. “We’re just making the best of what we’ve got right now and it’s tough to do that when you only have a few races. For me, I’m running about the same schedule I ran in Cup last year. It’s kind of one a month with the 21 car, but in Nationwide I had hoped to run a full season this year and run for a championship. Obviously, as a young guy you want to have championships under your belt and full seasons.” The Feb. 26 Daytona 500 is on Bayne’s limited schedule, but he doesn’t have one of the starting spots guaranteed to the top 35 teams in points from last season. He says they don’t plan on trying to buy a guaranteed spot from another team so he’ll have earn a spot in Sunday’s qualifying or Thursday’s qualifying races. Bayne doesn’t have a full-time ride in the Nationwide series, either. Roush Fenway Racing plans to run Carter, whose single for the New York Mets in the 1986 World Series touched off one of the most improbable rallies in baseball, died Thursday. He was 57. Carter was diagnosed with a malignant brain tumor last May, two weeks after finishing his second season as coach at Palm Beach Atlantic University. “I am deeply saddened to tell you all that my precious dad went to be with Jesus today at 4:10 p.m.,” Carter’s daughter Kimmy Bloemers wrote on the family website. “This is the most difficult thing I have ever had to write in my entire life but I wanted you all to know.” Carter was an 11-time AllStar and three-time Gold Glove winner. His bottomof-the-10th single in Game 6 of the 1986 World Series helped the New York Mets mount a charge against the Boston Red Sox and eventually beat them. Carter played nearly two decades with the Mets, Montreal, San Francisco and the Los Angeles Dodgers. He led the Expos to their only playoff berth and was the first player enshrined in Cooperstown wearing an Expos cap. Carter was known as much for his effervescent personality as his talents at the plate and behind it. He earned the nickname “Kid” as an eager teen in his first major league camp and the label stuck for the rest of his career, and beyond. “An exuberant on-field general with a signature smile who was known for clutch hitting and rock-solid defense over 19 seasons,” his Hall plaque reads. The bronze plaque shows him with a toothy grin, too, forever the Kid. “Gary was one of the happiest guys in the world every day,” Mets teammate Mookie Wilson once said. With curly, blond locks flaring out from beneath his helmet, and a rigid, upright batting stance, Carter was immediately recognizable at the plate. He was especially enthused during the biggest moment of his career. The powerful Mets were down to their last chance in the ‘86 Series when Carter stepped up with two outs. No one was on base and New York was trailing Boston 5-3 in the bottom of the 10th inning in Game 6. Carter said he had just one thought in mind: “I wasn’t going to make the last out of the World Series.” True to his word, he delivered a clean single to left field off Red Sox reliever Calvin Schiraldi. Kevin Mitchell followed with a single and when Ray Knight also singled, Carter scampered home from second base. As Carter crossed the plate, he clapped his hands, pointed at Wilson on deck and clapped again. Moments later, Bill Buckner’s error scored Knight for an amazing 6-5 win. Carter rushed from the dugout to join the celebration at home plate, catcher’s gear already on. Overshadowed by the rally was the fact that Carter had tied the game with a sacrifice fly in the eighth. Then in Game 7, Carter drove in the tying run in the sixth inning, and the Mets went on to win their most recent championship. Carter homered twice over the Green Monster at Fenway Park in Game 4 and totaled nine RBIs in that Series. Since then, only one player has gotten more in a World Series (Sandy Alomar Jr. had 10 for Cleveland in 1997). Overall, Carter hit .262 with 324 home runs and 1,225 RBIs with the Expos, Mets, San Francisco and the Los Angeles Dodgers. He set the major league record for putouts by a catcher, a testament to his durability despite nine knee operations. Carter twice was the MVP of the All-Star game. He won the award in 1981 by homering twice in baseball’s first game after a players’ strike that lasted two months. He remains the lone player to have a twohomer performance in an All-Star game and a World Series game. He set the NL record for games caught, but spent his first full season in the majors primarily as Montreal’s right fielder. His first AllStar appearance came that year, in 1975, as a defensive replacement in left field for Pete Rose. Carter was recognized, too, for his contributions off the field when he was honored with the Roberto Clemente Award. �Friday, February 17, 2012 The Daily Sentinel • Page 7 www.mydailysentinel.com Apartments/Townhouses Spring Valley Green Apartments 1 BR at $425+2 BR at $475 Month. 446-1599.

(AP) — “America’s Got Talent” winner Landau Eugene Murphy Jr. will sing the national anthem at a Marshall men’s basketball game next week. The Logan native will perform at the Thundering Herd’s Conference USA game with Memphis on Feb. 25 in Huntington. Tipoff is set for 4 p.m. Marshall athletic director Mike Hamrick says having Murphy’s presence is “special.” Murphy has sold out numerous concerts since winning the NBC talent show in September. ATHENS, Ohio (AP) — D.J. Cooper scored a season-high 22 points and Ohio defeated Bowling Green 72-59 Wednesday night to snap a two-game skid, split the season series and win its 20th game of the season. The Bobcats (20-6, 8-4 Mid-American Conference), who won their seventh straight home game, broke the school record for fastest team to 20 wins on the calendar, surpassing the 1994-95 squad (Feb. 22). Trailing 55-52 with 6:11 to go, Ohio held the Falcons to two free throws and a field goal. Cooper scored 13 points in the final 5:32, starting with a 3-pointer and a jumper to push the Bobcats ahead for good and snap Bowling Green’s fourgame winning streak. Jon Smith added nine points and nine rebounds, seven on the offensive glass, as Ohio outrebounded Bowling Green 43-26. Scott Thomas scored 17 points to lead the Falcons (13-12, 7-5), who won 67-57 on Jan. 7. Expert: TCU bust sign of increased pot problem By Eric Olson Associated press Maybe this week’s drug bust at TCU shouldn’t surprise anyone. National Center for Drug Free Sport vice president Andrea Wickerham said the arrests of four football players among 17 students overall on suspicion of selling marijuana is symbolic of an increasing pot problem in college athletics. She hopes administrators across the nation are paying attention. “I hope they don’t see this event at TCU as an isolated incident. It’s not,” she said. “The question is, ‘What does TCU do about it?’ and what do other college administrators do?” The arrests at TCU came Wednesday, just a month after the NCAA said that 22.6 percent of 20,474 student-athletes participating in an anonymous survey in 2009 admitted to using marijuana the previous 12 months. That number was up from 21.2 percent in 2005. Among the most high-profile sports, across all divisions, 26.7 percent of football players and 22 percent of men’s basketball players admitted in 2009 to using marijuana the previous year. Both were up significantly from the 2005 numbers (21.7 percent and 18.6 percent, respectively). The report has been done every four years since 1985 and alcohol always has been the overwhelming substance of choice. Marijuana is No. 2. The NCAA tests for marijuana at its championship events and football bowl games but not in its year-round testing program that has been in place since 1990. In 2009-10, the most recent academic year for which data is available, 72 of 1,645 tested athletes (4.3 percent) turned up positive for marijuana. That was up from 28 of 1,799 tested athletes (1.6 percent) in 2008-09. Chris Herren, a former player at Fresno State who struggled with cocaine and marijuana in college and during his brief stay in the NBA, said his marijuana use in high school led to his well-documented problems. Herren, who said he has been clean since 2008, travels the country lecturing high school and college athletes about the dangers of street drugs. Herren acknowledges the power of addiction. But with a clear mind now, he said, he can’t help but find the survey findings and NCAA testing results disheartening. “We can sit here and say marijuana is no big deal,” he said. “But in (athletes’) situations, it is a big deal. If they’re willing to throw away $200,000 of their education because of a blunt or a bong, let’s be honest, something’s not right there.” The National Center for Drug Free Sport administers drug tests for more than 250 colleges as well as the NCAA. Wickerham said testing is the most effective deterrent and works best if it is consistently inconsistent. “You want to test often enough so athletes truly believe they have a likelihood of being selected,” she said. “If you’re only doing it once a semester, or if you do it only when you hear about a bad event, that’s not a huge deterrent over time.” More than 90 percent of the schools in Division I, more than 50 percent in Division II and about 20 percent in Division III have drug-testing programs, NCAA associate director of educational affairs Mary Wilfert said. Many offer counseling and treatment programs for those who test positive. It is common for an athlete to be suspended for a year, or permanently, after a third positive test. Seminars addressing the dangers of substance abuse and outlining testing programs and penalties are annual events at many colleges. Still, the evidence shows marijuana use is on the rise, despite what Wilfert said was an intensified effort the past four or five years to curb its use. The NCAA and athletic departments are exploring ways to keep athletes from using marijuana or stopping the activity. Wilfert said peer intervention has become a popular tactic, with non-using athletes talking to marijuana-using teammates about the potential risks. “One of the things we want to emphasize is that most studentathletes are not using and the most recent substance-abuse report supports that,” Wilfert said. “It is something to note and part of the (education) strategy, that most students make good choices.” TCU said in a statement Wednesday that it tests its athletes for drug use “on a regular basis.” At Nebraska, which started drug testing in the 1980s, an athlete is selected at random or if there is reason to believe he or she is using illegal drugs, athletic director Tom Osborne said. Nebraska athletes can expect to be tested as many as three times a year, either by the school, Big Ten or NCAA. Historically, Osborne said, fewer than 2 percent of athletes at Nebraska have turned up positive for any banned substance. “Most of our student-athletes realize there isn’t going to be a six-month window or three-month window where they can violate the substance-abuse policy with- out any risk of getting caught,” Osborne said. Wickerham and athletic administrators have discussed whether more lax laws for possession in some states and increased use of medical marijuana has, in part, led to more acceptance of pot in society at large. Herren said some athletes might look at marijuana as an escape from the pressure to perform and the increasing scrutiny, much of it from fans on social media. “A kid goes to an AAU tournament and then reads 10 minutes after the game he’s not worthy of a scholarship or that he doesn’t jump high enough. It’s got to be detrimental,” Herren said. “Adults, if they were critiqued day in and day out about their performance at work, usually that results in them stopping off for a glass of wine or beer after a stressful day. So what does a 14- or 15-year-old do? They tend to search other avenues.” Herren, who spoke to athletes at the University of Florida last week and will go to the University of Oregon next week, said there is only so much the schools can do to protect the athletes from themselves. “At the end of the day,” he said, “you can’t baby-sit and follow around kids every Friday and Saturday night and see what they’re doing.” Irving scores 22 to push Cavs past Pacers 98-87 CLEVELAND (AP) — At his first opportunity, Kyrie Irving lowered his shoulder and dribbled hard toward the basket, unafraid of injury or other consequences. When he neared the rim, the Cavaliers guard laid in his first basket in more than a week. The concussion was behind him. The rookie was back. Irving scored 22 points in his return after missing three games with a concussion, leading Cleveland to a 98-87 win Wednesday night over the reeling Indiana Pacers, who dropped their fifth straight and played without leading scorer Danny Granger. On the floor for the first time since Feb. 7, when he accidentally banged his head into the knee of Miami’s Dwyane Wade following a foul-lane collision, Irving picked up right where he left off before getting hurt. “Kyrie didn’t look like he missed a beat,” said Cavs coach Byron Scott, who played his young star 37 minutes. “He didn’t look like he missed (seven) days. He looked fresh and rejuvenated.” Scott wasn’t shocked Irving would announce his return with an assertive move. “We’ve all known since Day 1 he has no fear,” Scott said. “It wasn’t a surprise to me that his first shot was going to be an aggressive one. It was good to see him back out there on the floor playing the way he’s capable of playing.” The 19-year-old was only cleared to play in the morning by Cavs doctors, who had to follow the NBA’s new guidelines on head injuries during his recovery. While others may have viewed his first basket as a message, Irving said there was no hidden intent other than to score two points. “I’m 100 percent,” he said. “Just because I had a concussion, it doesn’t mean my game is going to change in any way. I’ll play with the same aggressiveness. I’ve gone through the season attacking the basket.” Irving made the Cavs more complete, but they’re still without center Anderson Varejao, sidelined indefinitely with a broken wrist. Semih Erden started for Varejao and scored a career-high 18 points. Darren Collison scored 18 and Roy Hibbert 17 for Indiana, which was without Granger, who sprained his left ankle during Tuesday night’s loss to Miami. Dahntay Jones had only three points as Granger’s replacement, and none of the other Pacers picked up the slack. Indiana is 2-6 in its last eight seven of them against teams with winning records. “It’s not an excuse, but I think guys are worn down,” coach Frank Vogel said. “It’s been a tough stretch of the schedule against a string of good teams and we’ve had a slew of injuries. It’s just something that will come back around.” Irving said he felt fully recovered and was excited to be back on the floor. And it showed. The young star went 5 of 6 and scored 12 points in the first quarter, when he added two assists and two rebounds while helping the Cavs jump to an early double-digit lead. Irving’s legs were lively from the week off, and as much as it pained him to have to sit out, the No. 1 overall draft pick believes the rest helped. Irving didn’t score in the second quarter, but he added eight points in the third making a pair of 3-pointers to help the Cavs, who led by 12 after one and 18 at halftime, keep the Pacers at bay. Cleveland took an 18-point lead into the fourth, but with Irving on the bench, the Cavs became disjointed on offense and didn’t score for the first 5:07 of the quarter. Ramon Sessions finally ended the drought with a three-point play to make it 82-67 with 6:53 left, and Indiana only got as close as nine points in the final minute. Scott had been hoping one of Cleveland’s big men would step up with Varejao out, and the 7-foot Erden came through. He won’t be able to duplicate Varejao’s boundless energy, but Erden added eight rebounds and did a solid defensive job inside on Hibbert. “He was more aggressive on both ends of the floor,” Scott said. “I thought he was a little more comfortable.” It didn’t all go as planned for the Cavs. Guard Daniel Gibson injured his left ankle in the third quarter, when he came down on Indiana guard Paul George’s foot. Gibson stayed down on the floor for several minutes in obvious pain before he was helped up and limped to the locker room. Gibson did not return and it may be a few days before he’s back. “It’s frustrating,” Gibson said. “It hurts badly. I’ve had this before. Hopefully I can heal quicker from it.” There’s no telling when the Pacers will recover. One of the NBA’s surprise teams to start the season, Indiana, in the middle of a three-games-in-three-nights stretch, has hit its first extended slump. “Good teams don’t lose this many games in a row,” David West said. “Right now we can’t call ourselves that. We’re not playing good enough to be a good team. We just don’t have enough resistance. We’re letting teams dictate what they want to do offensively. I don’t know if we’re hoping teams come out and play bad. “We’re going to have to dig deep and find a way to get out of this.” Granger, who sprained his ankle in the final seconds of the first quarter Tuesday against Miami, warmed up on the floor before the game but was obviously uncomfortable. Granger winced several times while trying to make cuts. However, the Pacers’ medical staff was encouraged by his progress and it’s possible he’ll play Thursday against New Jersey. Notes: As if being clobbered by the Heat wasn’t bad enough, the Pacers arrived at their Cleveland hotel to find Miami’s team was also staying at the Ritz-Carlton. Vogel joked they deserved it. “Take that,” he said. “You don’t play well, you’ve got to stay with those guys.” LeBron James and Co. play the Cavs on Friday. …Cleveland snapped its sixgame losing streak to Indiana. … The Cavs have yet to provide a timetable on Varejao’s return. He sat on the bench with a brace on his wrist. Lady From Page 6 The Lady Oaks went on a 20-8 run in the third quarter for a comfortable 66-23 cushion, but Meigs closed regulation with a 14-13 spurt to wrap up the 46-point outcome. Oak Hill committed 18 turnovers in the triumph, 10 of which came in the opening half. Meigs connected on 14-of-32 field goal attempts for 44 percent and also made 8-of-16 free throws for 50 percent. The Lady Oaks, conversely, made 36-of-74 shot attempts for 49 percent and also sank 8-of-12 charity tosses for 67 percent. Senior Dani Cullums led Meigs with 12 points, followed by Brook Andrus with seven points and Kelsey Hudson with six markers. Morgan Russell and Keana Robinson were both next with three points each, while Tess Phelps, Hannah Cremeans and Meredith Gaul rounded out the scoring with two markers apiece. Taylor Hale paced Oak Hill with a game-high 23 points, followed by Breanna Butler with 22 points and Abby Haislop with 14 markers. Paige Roseberry also added 10 points to the winning cause. Besides Cullums, it was also the final game for senior Tori Wolfe in the Maroon and Gold. Wolfe was not able to play due to an injury. Meigs hasn’t won a tournament game since 2009 and hasn’t captured a sectional title since the 2000 campaign. The Lady Ma- rauders (2-8) tied with Alexander for fifth-place in the TVC Ohio Division this winter.

Daytona From Page 6 Wood Brothers team. “I think for this point in my career the Wood Brothers is the best place for me to be. If we could run full-time, that would be better, but I enjoy that family and just the support that they give me.” NASCAR veteran Michael Waltrip sees Bayne’s struggle to secure a fulltime ride is another sign of a sluggish economy. “It’s not just NASCAR, it’s how difficult things are today,” Waltrip said. “Trevor’s a sharp young man, very well-spoken, good-looking kid and got a great heart. Can drive the heck out of the car and just didn’t get the opportunity, hasn’t had the opportunity to do it full time yet.” But trying to refine his driving skills while running a limited schedule wasn’t the only challenge Bayne faced last year. He missed several weeks after being diagnosed with a mystery ailment that turned out to be Lyme disease. Sitting out those races, Bayne said, made him realize “how much you appreciate being here.” Bayne says he’s feeling fine now, good enough to take a mission trip to Kenya in the offseason. “What’s wild about people in Kenya is like no matter who are, if you’re from out of town or an American and you show up on their front porch, they’re pulling out chairs and trying to give you food at their little mud huts,” Bayne said. “They’re incredible people, so I would tell anybody they should go check it out because, to me, it was humbling. These people don’t have hardly anything and here they are, their kids are so happy. They’ve got their bellies sticking out because they’re malnourished and stuff, but they’re the most pumped kids in the world to be alive. It was an incredible experience.” Bayne, a Baptist, wants to use his racing success as a platform to talk about his religious faith leading to frequent comparisons with Tebow. The two still occasionally text, and Bayne says it has been tough for him to watch Tebow get criticized for voicing his beliefs. “It’s tough,” Bayne said. “But it says that we’re going to have criticism and perse- cution and stuff, so I’m good with it and we’ll just not let it change us, I guess.” But while the parallels between Bayne and Tebow are apparent, Bayne isn’t necessarily the right guy to ask about the sports world’s latest surprise sensation, New York Knicks guard Jeremy Lin. Before saying a few nice words about Lin’s success, Bayne had to double check. “That’s basketball, right?” Bayne said with a laugh. �FridayFebruary , February 17, 2012 Friday, 17, 2012 BLONDIE BEETLE BAILEY FUNKY WINKERBEAN HAGAR THE HORRIBLE HI & LOIS www.mydailysentinel.com ComiCs/EntErtainmEnt Dean Young/Denis Lebrun Mort Walker Today’s Answers Tom Batiuk Chris Browne Brian and Greg Walker THE LOCKHORNS MUTTS The Daily Sentinel • Page 9 William Hoest Patrick McDonnell Jacquelene Bigar’s Horoscope zITS THE FAMILY CIRCUS Bil Keane DENNIS THE MENACE Hank Ketchum Jerry Scott and Jim Borgman CONCEPTIS SUDOKU by Dave Green HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Friday, Feb. 17, 2012: This year family becomes very important, yet you also demand enormous privacy. Juggling the various demands in your life takes talent. At first it might be difficult, but you will handle everything. Remain confident. If you are single, you could choose an emotionally unavailable person. Unless you are comfortable with this situation, the sooner you clear out, the better. If you are attached, you benefit from frequent weekends away together. That extra private time makes all the difference in your bond. CAPRICORN understands you nearly too well.

Tonight: A must show. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHHHH Your ability to move through an issue quickly after a jolt defines you as a person and demonstrates your strength.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHH Manifesting another’s ideas proves worthwhile on several levels. You encourage others to go for what they want more often.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HH Knowing when to cut your losses is important. If you do, others could be shocked by your actions and let you know in no uncertain terms. Your individuality and independence come into play. Listen to suggestions politely. Tonight: Perhaps with a favorite person. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHHH Taking a risk financially could cause a situation to tumble one way or another. How you see this gamble might be very different from a partner’s perspective.

He left the franchise during a summer in which he held an entire city at bay as it awaited his decision. After he announced he was joining the Heat during a nationally televised special, the Akron native was vilified by the same fans who cheered every one of his dribbles and dunks. Time has healed some of the wounds not all. James has made no attempt to patch things up with Cavs owner Dan Gilbert, who harshly criticized James in a scathing letter to Cleveland’s fans. Gilbert promised to win a title before James, ques- CLEVELAND (AP) — LeBron James says he could picture returning to the place where his NBA journey began. Back in Cleveland. Imagine that. After practicing in a gym where he refined his game for seven seasons, James said Thursday he would not rule out a return to the Cavaliers, the team he carried to the brink of a championship before he spurned an entire region by leaving as a free agent for Miami in 2010. Asked if he could play for the Cavs again, James initially paused before giving his answer. “I don’t know. I think it would be great,” he said. “It would be fun to play in front of these fans again. I had a lot fun times in my seven years here. You can’t predict the future and hopefully I continue to stay healthy. I’m here as a Miami Heat player, and I’m tioned his character and told The Associated Press he felt James quit on the Cavs during the playoffs. James said he has no bitterness toward Gilbert. They have not spoken since James met with the Cavaliers on July 3, 2010, when they were one of several teams courting him to sign with them. “I don’t have any hard feelings. He said what he said and I’ve moved on,” said James, who is under contract with the Heat for two more seasons. “But there’s been no attempt to patch things up.” James, however, said he can envision being friends again with Gilbert. “I don’t hold grudges,” he said. “I hold them a little bit, but I don’t hold them that long. He said what he said out of anger and he would probably want to take that back. But I made a mistake, too, and there are some things I would want to take back as well. “You make mistakes and move on.” On Friday night, James will play his third game in Cleveland since leaving. The reception won’t be nearly as hostile as it was on Dec. 2 last season toward James, who spent the past two days at his colossal home he has kept in nearby Bath, Ohio. James expects to be booed, but it won’t be as nasty as before. “It doesn’t sting anymore,” James said. “The booing isn’t as bad as it was last year so it’s not even a big deal.” James’ comments about a hypothetical return to Cleveland didn’t surprise teammate Dwyane Wade. Could Wade imagine James with the Cavs again? “Anything is possible,” he said. “Hopefully, I’m retired.” Joshua C.

March Madness games no longer free online for all NEW YORK (AP) — Some fans will no longer be able to watch every NCAA men’s basketball tournament game online for free. The model for streaming March Madness will change this year, Turner, CBS and the NCAA announced Thursday. Games aired on CBS will still be free through the network’s website. Most, but not all, viewers who get TBS, TNT and truTV on their cable or satellite systems will be able to watch games aired on those channels online at no cost. Fans can also pay $3.99 to see every game on multiple platforms online, mobile and tablet. About 77 million households will be able to watch the Turner channels for free online through a process called authentication. That’s out of the 100 million that get TBS and TNT, which are available in around 87 percent of American homes with televisions. The way fans watch March Madness on TV changed drastically last season with the start of CBS and Turner’s 14-year, $10.8 billion deal with the NCAA. Instead of CBS showing regional coverage and switching among games, each contest aired nationally in its entirety on one of the four networks. The shift was a hit: Viewership was up 14 percent for the tournament’s opening weekend. As for the previous five years, fans could also see every game for free online. They watched 13.7 John got in the game with a wide range of sports, movies and more & saved up to $750! million hours of streaming video online and through mobile devices, a 17 percent increase from 2010. Turner Sports senior vice president Matthew Hong said the company considered using authentication last year but wanted to wait until people adjusted to the new TV setup. Another factor was that the system was available to far fewer subscribers a year ago; he hopes that by 2013, all customers who get the Turner networks through their providers will be able to authenticate.

But authentication proving you subscribe to a provider that offers the service does require an extra step from past years for fans trying to access NCAA tournament games.

Jones was awarded the team’s offer of a $2.25 million salary by a threeperson panel on Thursday rather than his request of $2.5 million. Arbitrators Margaret Brogan, Dan Brent and Matt Goldberg made the decision one day after hearing arguments. Jones hit .243 with 30 doubles, 16 homers and 58 RBIs last year, when he made $455,500. He played 90 games in right field and 34 at first base. Teams finished with a 5-2 advantage in arbitration decisions this year, their 14th winning record in 16 years. Pirates third baseman Casey McGehee, who had been the last player scheduled for a hearing, agreed to a one-year deal for $2,537,500 the midpoint between his request for $2,725,000 and the team’s $2.35 million offer. McGehee hit .223 with 13 homers and 67 RBIs last season for the Milwaukee Brewers, who traded him to Pittsburgh on Dec. 12 for reliever Jose Veras. USA Football to conduct injuries study INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — USA Football has commissioned a full-season research study this year to examine player health and safety in organized youth tackle football. The independent study, to be conducted by the Datalys Center, is the first sponsored by football’s national governing body in the United States, and is believed to be the first of its scope in youth football’s 80-plus year history. The research will look at any injuries sustained during the 2012 season in 10 youth football leagues across the nation. Athletic trainers will attend the leagues’ practices and games to manage and document player health. Approximately 3 million youngsters from ages 6 to 14 play organized tackle football. “This ground-breaking research will enable us to strengthen youth football player safety in an evidence-based way,” USA Football executive director Scott Hallen- beck said. “USA Football is committed to continue to lead America’s football community and discover how our country’s favorite sport can be made even better.” The study will include observations on player safety at different ages and at game versus practice situations; playing standards such as player age and weight that account for the safest play; and the incidence and severity of injuries in organized youth football. USA Football is the official youth football development partner of the NFL, the NFL Players Association and each of the league’s 32 teams, as well as the Atlantic Coast Conference. It already provides a unified youth football rulebook and recommended practices for leagues nationwide, and regularly educates more than 75,000 youth football coaches to teach the sport and manage player health, including suspected concussions, in partnership with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. WrestleMania expected to generate $62 million EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) — Before the Super Bowl comes to MetLife Stadium, WrestleMania slams into the home of the NFL champions. The biggest show in professional wrestling will be held at MetLife in 2013 and it’s expected to generate a financial windfall for the New York City area and the northern New Jersey suburbs. New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie formally announced Thursday that the wrestling extravaganza would be held at the Meadowlands sports complex on April 7, 2013 , and WWE officials estimated that it would generate at least $62 million in revenues and possibly more for the region. “WrestleMania has quickly grown into a weeklong celebration generating in excess of $60 million of new direct spending for the host community where it takes place,” said John Saboor, the WWE senior vice president for special events. “We expect by virtue of the enormity of this market, the popularity of this market, we can expect to see a greater result of WrestleMania week.” Saboor said last year’s event in Atlanta generated $62 million in revenue and he believed this year’s event in Miami in April will top that figure. The 2013 edition of WrestleMania will be the 29th and a homecoming of sorts. The first WrestleMania was held at Madison Square Garden in New York City in 1985. A raspy-voiced WWE chief executive Vince McMahon noted that Muhammad Ali served as the guest referee and Billy Martin as the guest ring announcer. The event featured Mr. T, .Roddy Piper and Hulk Hogan in the featured match. “WrestleMania on that date next year comes home,” McMahon said. Saboor said that weeklong wrestling program should attract about 120,000 fans, with 80,000 expected to attend WrestleMania. The other 40,000 will take part in ancillary events such as a four-day fan festival, the WWE’s annual Hall of Fame Induction ceremony, parties and a WWE “Raw” event. This year’s event in Miami in April will have John Cena and Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson competing in the featured match. Both wrestlers attended Thursday’s announcement, with Cena noting: � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
