Robbery attempts target females in Mason Beth Sergent bsergent@heartlandpublications.com Charlene Hoeflich/photo Expansion of People’s Motor Bank in Pomeroy is well under way. Two additional drive-through lanes and an ATM are being added. Peoples Motor Bank being expanded By Charlene Hoeflich choeflich@mydailysentinel.com POMEROY — People’s Motor Bank located at the corner of Second and Lynn Streets in Pomeroy is undergoing expansion to better accommodate customers. While no changes are being made to the bank building, two additional lanes for motor bank drive-through customers are being added along with an ATM machine. When completed in early April there will be two lanes on either side of the building with a stand-alone ATM machine located on the outer lane along Second Street. Vehicles can enter on any of the four lanes from Second Street and depart on Lynn Street, according to Tina Rees, Pomeroy manager of Peoples Bank. She said the banking facility, which will remain open for business all during the construction period, will be fully operational on April 9 at which time business hours will be extended. The new hours will have the bank open from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Friday and 8 a.m. until noon on Saturday. She also said that entrance from Main Street is only into the People’s Motor Bank parking lot for use of customers who want to enter the lobby to conduct general transactions. Motor Bank lanes are not accessible from the Main Street entrance. Meanwhile, plans are moving forward for the Peoples Bank at Middleport to close on March 30 as an- nounced in November. Customers who use the bank in Middleport will be able to fully access all of their accounts at the Pomeroy Bank without having to make any changes, according to Rees. It will simply be a consolidation of the same services at the same bank offered in a single location. All but one of the Middleport bank employees will be transferring to the Pomeroy bank. The one not transferring is retiring. In the original announcement of the Middleport Bank closing, Rick Stafford, executive vice president, Retail Banking at Peoples Bank, said the consolidation will help improve efficiency and position the company for future success. MASON — Women in the Mason area are asked to be on alert after two attempted robberies have occurred a week apart — both incidents with several similarities, including the suspects. Sgt. E.B. Starcher of the West Virginia State Police said on Wednesday, Feb. 15, a female was exiting the Mason United Methodist Church around 8:30 p.m. when two men attacked and attempted to rob the victim. Starcher said in this case the woman was able to get away with the help of some younger males who were nearby and came to her aid. The two suspects got away empty-handed but not before leaving behind a description. According to Starcher, one man is described to be in his 30s, scruffy looking and of a stocky build while the other man is thinner and wears a ball cap. The suspects were described as literally looking “greasy” and having the smell of car grease. Both men were in a “darker red” and “beat up” Ford Ranger extended-cab pickup. Then, a week later on Wednesday, Feb. 22, a woman was parked in her car around 6:30 p.m. at the Blue Goose Pond on W.Va. 62 in Clifton when two Candidates speak out at Tea party meeting Staff Report mdsnews@mydailysentinel.com Southern alumni event a huge success Big Fooze scholarship raises more than $1,400 By Charlene Hoeflich choeflich@mydailysentinel.com RACINE — A Sean Coppick follow-up jumper at the buzzer that claimed an exciting 100-98 win for the purple team provided the perfect ending to the 4th annual Southern Alumni Basketball “Big Fooze Night” in Charles W. Hayman gymnasium in Racine. Despite a scheduling conflict that pitted the annual alumni game against a boys’ varsity make-up game, the event was again a huge success, raising $1,476.50 for the Hilton Wolfe, Jr. Big Fooze Scholarship Fund. 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 varsity basketball coach and longtime varsity baseball coach. Overall, 45 players took to the hardwood in three games — one women’s game and two men’s games. Southern Elementary’s first through fourth grade students sang the National Anthem, while the first and second graders sang the Southern fight song, “Stand up and Cheer.” The Southern Band, under the direction of Chad Dodson, performed at the event, accompanying the students in their performances. Cheerleaders from the past were also recognized as part of the program. “We are extremely happy that we had the support that we had this year,” said Scott Wolfe, representing the alumni as the son of Hilton Wolfe, Jr. “This event has been a great community event, and most of all raises funds to help support students going on to college. I would like to thank all the players, cheerleaders, band, fans, teachers, students and alumni who helped make this a success. It takes a huge amount of work to coordinate something like this and the efforts of all are greatly appreciated.” Home National Bank with two offices in the district — at Syracuse and Racine — gave fans the opportunity to get significant cash as part of the hometown festivities. The HNB “Cash Scramble” sent eight lucky fans to the endline, where the participants grabbed nearly all of the $300 cash available. Next year, in honor of the last game to be played in the current Charles W. Hayman gymnasium, the Southern Alumni and school administration hope to establish a weekend affair that invites all former players, cheerleaders, and coaches back for the weekend. Pending the release of the Tri-Valley Conference Schedule, the Southern Alumni basketball weekend will be either February 15-16 or February 22-23. Details will be announced soon. Alumni organizers are also considering the formation of an alumni band. Plans are in the works for a football alumni weekend, honoring 50 years of football at Southern. In the ladies’ game, the purple team defeated the white, 64-50. Rachel Reiber Purdue had 21 points, Melanie Weese had 20, Diana Simpson Bissell 18, and Tonja Salser Hunter 8. Rachel Chapman Hupp had 32 for the white team, while Dawn Johnson Hill had 12, and Wendy Wolfe Beegle 8. In the 1994 and down old timer’s game, the purple again won 70-56. Kent Wolfe led the winning purple team with 21 points, Robert Reiber added 14, Shannon Riffle eight, and Michael Russell 8. For the gold team, Arnie Dugan had 18, Zane Beegle 11, Jason Quillen 7, and Dave McMillan 8. The nightcap saw the purple team come from a 15 point halftime deficit to within one point at the end of the third quarter. Much of the fourth quarter was tied See SOUTHERN |‌ 3 men matching the descriptions of the suspects in the attempted robbery outside the church approached her, trying to steal her cell phone and other items. This time the woman got away and the suspects were empty-handed again. Starcher said during the incident that occurred on Feb. 22, both men were in that same dark red, beat up, Ford Ranger extended cab. Starcher said it’s not known if the pickup is from West Virginia, Ohio or elsewhere. The investigation into these crimes is being undertaken by several law enforcement agencies, including the Mason Police Department, Mason County Sheriff’s Department and Mason County Post of the West Virginia State Police. Anyone with any information, tips on these suspects, the Ford Ranger or the two incidents should call any of the three agencies listed above. Law enforcement personnel are also looking for the young men who helped the victim escape the attack outside the church in case they remember anything new about that incident which might help solve the case. Starcher also wanted to be sure female residents are aware of these incidents and are taking the necessary precautions to stay safe. POMEROY — Two candidates whose names will be on the March 6 primary ballot spoke at the recent meeting of the Meigs County Tea Party held at the Mulberry Community Center. Leslie Haas of Washington County, Republican candidate for State Central Committee, charged that the Republican party has lost its way from conservatism, and pledged that if elected she will, “fight to bring the Republican Party back to its conservative founding principals.” It was noted that Haas was an organizer of the Tea Party group in Washington County, and has served as president of the Republican Women’s Club in that county. Curtis Jones, Republican candidate for Meigs County sheriff, shared his background and then said, “I’m not a politician. I just want to do a job and I want to do it for you.” Adam Will spoke on behalf of Micah Martindale, Republican candidate for State Representative of the 94th District. He stressed the need for someone who will say, “We need to put politics aside and actually get things done.” At the meeting Craig Wehrung spoke on the topic “The American Police State is Upon Us.” In his comments, he drew parallels between Nazi Germany of the 1930s and the United States today. Both, he said, have undergone moral and economic decline, followed a dictatorial leader, suffered under a massive number of rules and regulations from bureaucracies, and courted a preoccupation with death including abortion, along with an opposition to Biblical Christianity. On the same topic, Victor Smith noted another parallel. After Hitler came to power, the German Officers’ Corps military oath was changed — supporting the fatherland became supporting the Fuhrer. Smith said a movement is afoot in the United States to make changes in the military oath. Peter Martindale raised the issue of Islamic terroristtraining camps in the United States as shown in the movie “Homegrown Jihad.” He cautioned, “It’s not something to worry about; it’s something to pray about.” The Meigs County Tea Party meets the second and fourth Tuesday of each month at the Mulberry Community Center in Pomeroy. �Friday, February 24, 2012 The Daily Sentinel • Page 2 www.mydailysentinel.com Likens makes the cut on American Idol By Nathan Jeffers njeffers@heartlandpublications.com HOLLYWOOD, Calif. — Point Pleasant native Chase Likens has made it to the top 24 contestants on season 11 of American Idol.

Member SIPC. ODNR: Spring trout to be released locally Releases slated March 8 through mid-May Staff Report mdtnews@mydailytribune.com COLUMBUS — Public fishing opportunities will be enhanced this spring when more than 96,000 rainbow trout will be released into 61 Ohio lakes and ponds, according to the Ohio Department of Natural Resources’ (ODNR) Division of Wildlife. The releasing of the rainbow trout, which are 10 to 13 inches long, will occur between March 8 and midMay. Anglers are reminded the daily catch limit for inland lakes is five trout. Anglers should also know there will no longer be fall catchable trout releases. Beginning in 2012, all catchable trout releases have been shifted to the spring season. Locally, trout will be released at Forked Run State Park in Meigs County on March 22 and at Timber Ridge Lake near the Gallia County line in Lawrence County on March 29. Some locations will feature special, youth-only angler events on the day of the scheduled releases. Anglers age 16 and older must have an Ohio fishing license to fish the state’s public wa- ters. Once the youth-only events have concluded, all other anglers may fish. Contact the nearest district office for specific information about the angler events. The 2012-13 fishing license will be available March 1. The license will be valid March 1 through Feb. 28, 2013. An annual resident fishing license costs $19. A one-day fishing license is available and may be purchased for $11 by residents and non-residents. The one-day license may also be redeemed for credit toward purchase of an annual fishing license. Ohio residents born on or before Dec. 31, 1937, may obtain a free fishing license where licenses are sold. Persons age 66 and older who were born on or after Jan. 1, 1938, and have resided in Ohio for the past six months are eligible to purchase the reduced cost resident senior license for $10. Additional information about spring trout releases is available by calling tollfree at 800-WILDLIFE. Information is also available from Division of Wildlife district offices in Akron, Athens, Columbus, Findlay and Xenia.

Hardin and her motherin-law, 46-year-old Joyce Hardin Garrard, were charged with murder on Wednesday in the death of Savannah Hardin. Roger Simpson, who lives up the hill from the doublewide trailer where Savannah lived with Jessica and her father Robert Hardin, said he saw the girl running in the yard.

The work from Toledo will be split among the Columbus One of the “most disturbing facts” investigators said they learned about rockdusting practices at Upper Big Branch was the failure to treat one side of the longwall mining machine during the eight months it operated. Some 5,400 feet of the 6,700-foot-long coal panel was mined between September 2009 and April 2010 “without any record of rock dust being applied,” the report said. Both foremen signed safety inspection logs to indicate they were aware of coal dust accumulation and the need for rock dusting, the report said, but there is no record suggesting either fixed the problems. The log books also had “lack of clarity and full disclosure” about the extent of the hazards underground. More detail could have helped workers on subsequent shifts protect themselves, the report said. State law proposes only $250 fines for individual violations, but the agency could seek suspension or revocation of the foremen’s licenses and certifications. “Individuals involved in the day-to-day decision making at the mine must be held accountable regardless of their title,” the report said. “The mine foreman is the highest-ranking official that current state law addresses.” Neither Foster nor Moore cooperated with investigations by the federal Mine Safety and Health Administration and the United Mine Workers. They are listed among 18 Massey executives and mine managers who invoked their right to avoid self-incrimination and refused to testify. The superintendent charged Wednesday did the same. Gary May, 43, was charged with conspiracy to defraud the federal government, accused of disabling a methane monitor on a mining machine and falsifying safety records. Prosecutors said May also manipulated the mine’s ventilation system during inspections to fool safety officials about air flow. He could get up to five years in prison if convicted. May is the highestranking company official charged so far. The other, former security chief Hughie Elbert Stover, will be sentenced next week for lying to investigators and trying to destroy documents. U.S. Attorney Booth Goodwin is urging a federal judge to make an example of Stover by giving him the maximum — 25 years in prison. The charges against May were contained in a federal information, a document that typically signals a defendant’s cooperation with prosecutors. May has declined comment. The information says Massey subsidiary Performance Coal Co. and its managers routinely violated a host of federal mine-safety laws for fear that violations would cut into production time. Reactions from relatives of the Upper Big Branch victims were mixed. Clay Mullins, whose brother Rex died in the blast, said he’s not satisfied yet with the criminal prosecutions. “There’s still several out there that I hold responsible. … They need to go all the way to the top,” he said. That includes former Massey CEO Don Blankenship, who was known for micromanaging his mines and required managers to fax him production reports. “He run them from be- hind his desk, wherever he was at,” Mullins said. “He knew exactly what was going on at that mine, as well as all the other top officials did.” Mullins said that during the private meeting with other families, he told the state’s team that they share part of the burden for the disaster. Jack Bowden, who lost his son-in-law Steve “Smiley” Harrah in the blast, called the criminal charges against the mine superintendent good news. He said he’s eager to see where else the federal prosecutor looks. “I hope he goes up the ladder and I hope he goes down the ladder,” he said. He added, “I’ll tell ya, guys, it was murder. Basically. Don Blankenship should be held accountable for it.” Reports about the explosion have already been released by MSHA, the United Mine Workers of America and an independent panel appointed by the former governor. The state’s report said methane, which occurs naturally in underground mines, was coming from several sources, including cracks in the floor. Massey, bought out last summer by Virginia-based Alpha Natural Resources, has long argued that a sudden inundation from a crack overwhelmed all safety systems. The state acknowledged the crack was likely “a major source of gas.” But like MSHA, it rejected Massey’s theory, saying the gas is easily moved by air currents, and air flow at the main production area was about 700 feet per minute before the blast. of the American economy and called him “a man comfortable living with trilliondollar deficits.” But he largely sidestepped when asked how he could be able to counter Obama in a debate in the fall campaign if the president brought up similarities between the health care law Romney signed as governor of Massachusetts and the health care overhaul passed by Congress that Republican contenders have vowed to repeal. That was an evident reference to a requirement for individuals to purchase coverage at the heart of both laws but Romney’s answer omitted that topic. Instead, he said, “The first thing I’d say to him is, ‘You say you copied (the Massachusetts law), how come you didn’t give me a call? I’d have told you what worked what did not work.’” He added that the federal law was too expensive, raised taxes and cut $500 billion from Medicare over a decade. Romney threw a glancing blow at Santorum, recalling that the former Pennsylvania senator had said in a debate in Mesa, Ariz., on Wednesday night that he had voted for President George W. Bush’s No Child Left Behind education law even though he didn’t like it. “He said, ‘You know, you’ve got to take it for the team now and then.’ Well, my team is the people of the United States of America.” That was Romney’s message earlier in the day in Arizona, as he sought to upend Santorum’s image as a principled defender of conservative ideals Thursday by describing him as just another giveand-take politician.

By the time you read this the breakfast will have been consumed and the day, too, will be history. Perhaps you joined us for this event; perhaps not. Perhaps you observed Ash Wednesday as the religious observance it generally is, or it may have been “just another day” for you. This is that time of year when for some Christians the day isn’t complete without ashes being imposed upon their forehead in the sign of the Cross. Let that tell-tale smudge suffice as conclusive evidence the wearer takes his or her faith seriously Regardless of your personal perspective about Ash Wednesday, Christians the world over understand this day to be the beginning of Lent. Unlike the annual, joy-filled celebration of Christmas, which for the Church is all about the God’s coming into the world as the Christ child, the season of Lent is a far more serious and somber experience. It serves to remind us there is nothing By Carrie Wolfe, Pastor Often we find ourselves caught up in the day-to-day activities. Sometimes just getting something to eat is a chore. It is a busy world we live in. Many things to occupy ourselves. We have many ministries, yet are they worthwhile? Do we spend time with hobbies and people and yet feel hollow afterward? Are we unfulfilled? Perhaps, the answer is in the fruit. What fruit comes from the event, activity, hanging around with that person, etc? Where is the fruit? “But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, long suffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, temperance: against such there is no law. And they that are Christ’s have crucified the flesh with the affections and in our lives—i.e., no trials or tribulation, no hardship or suffering — God is ignorant of, or insensitive to. Indeed, be reminded anew of the intense persecution and rejection that was so much a real part of Jesus’ life! He was born a Jew—and died as one, too! — but from Day #1 until the very end of his life he lived among and interacted with other Jewish boys and girls, men and women. As a boy, there is no reason to suspect anyone found fault with him; except for one particular instance, when he debated with learned scholars in the Temple, nothing distinguished him from his peers. All that changed with the advent of Jesus’ ministry. Even as Jesus presented himself to John the Baptist to be baptized, the Baptist himself questioned the order of things. Immediately following that unique event, Jesus started attracting attention that was much less favorable. Alone, our Lord was compelled to endure the literal presence of evil itself, i.e., the Devil, for the next forty days; we have Jesus to thank for the pertinent details (Matt. 4:1-11). And we think we have it rough?!? In some sense of the term, Yes — we do! Needless to say, though, much of what comes our way is alien to the Bible — such as the fact the price of gasoline is soon expected to be $4 a gallon, a situation the ever-peripatetic Jesus and his disciples never had to contend with! But of course, some things never change: disease, sickness, and all such related suffering still is on-going in our present day-and-age. Just as leprosy was especially prevalent then, in this present time heart disease and cancer are poxes upon many in our land. Poverty is endemic to many parts of the globe, too, yet a quick survey of this area informs us there are more than a few struggling to obtain adequate food for their family, and whose homes aren’t necessarily as safe, warm, and dry as those others of us inhabit. All-in-all, the things we want and the problems we generally concern ourselves with tend to be of a material and physical nature, whereas the Lord specializes in fixing our spiritual needs. The measure of the fruit lusts. If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit. Let us not be desirous of vain glory, provoking one another.” — Galatians 5:2226 Is there something empty in what you are doing? Maybe not, but this is the test. It is where we can go to check our heart, our minds, our souls. Asking ourselves, is there love in this? (Love is not the same as lust, either.) Is there joy? Peace? Long suffering, or patience? Are you gaining or exhibiting gentleness and goodness? Does it help or hinder faith? Does it produce meekness? What about temperance also known as self-control? This is how we can check. God does not want us to feel like we are just spinning our wheels. We are to be producing fruit. The scriptures tell us when we walk in righteousness (hav- ing accepted Him in our hearts, seeking Christ, loving Him and seeking to obey His Word), we shall produce good things for God. “And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that brings forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatever he does shall prosper.” — Psalms 1:3. This concept even goes back to Genesis with the original mandate to “be fruitful and multiply.” The Lord Jesus Christ came to atone for our sins, our disobedience to God. He offered himself to pay the price for that sin and disobedience. He tells us to repent, and go and sin no more. We are not perfect, we are going to have moments where we fail, but we need to then move on in grace. Breaking cycles of sin is not always easy, but we can do it with the help of Christ. The fruit of the Spirit is our measure on how we should be walking in obedience to the Lord. Hollow moments, hollow actions, hollow words, and hollow activities lead to hollow people. The only one great enough to fill all that hollowness is Jesus. It does Were you to re-read the passage I cited above, you’ll note Satan tempted Jesus in three specific areas: materially, spiritually, and politically—and in that order. You should also be aware of the fact he was misquoting Scripture, in a failed attempt to deceive Jesus. Our Lord effectively acquitted himself against the devil’s aggressive posturing, unlike how the vast majority of God’s children would fare. That, of course, would be us. Ironically—or not, given our carnal nature — we’re more focused on things pertaining to our “creaturely comfort” as opposed to things in the spiritual realm. In this sense, I respectfully submit our priorities are more than a little skewed. Here, again, Jesus has counseled us to NOT worry about our material needs, however obvious or numerous they might be (Matt. 6:25-34). Instead, we are explicitly advised to get our “spiritual house” in order, to focus first and foremost upon living lives of faith and obedience — centered on our ever-loving and patient Heavenly Father. If during Lent we get right with God, repent of our sins and wrong-doing, give God priority over our egos and wants—we are being true to the spirit of this season. To do is to be. not matter what yesterday looked like, we can walk forward in that grace today. Stand strong because that word comes with a promise in “his leaf also shall not wither.” The Lord will sustain us, uplift us and help us to continue in this life and the quest to be fruitful. Which is continued with “and whatever he does shall prosper.” We have so many opportunities. We have so much. Sometimes we forget the blessings and the “fruit” before us. Love, joy, peace, patience, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, and self-control are incredible fruit. They multiply quite readily, and will begin to spread out into others too. When we walk in the fruit of the Spirit, it becomes contagious. Others will get into it too. As we continue, it will increase our faith as well. God will show you things, blessings and promises. Not every day will be perfect. Not every day will be free of pain, but it certainly will not be hollow. Where are you in producing good fruit, the fruit of the Spirit for the Lord? Maybe you need to clear away the fields of your heart first? Maybe you need to cut down the weeds of discord and the brambles of brokenness? Maybe you just need a little more Son light? The Lord Jesus Christ loves you and cherishes you. Let the Master Gardener work in the garden of your heart today. You will not be disappointed and certainly will not be hollow! There is hope of and in Christ. There is love which liberates and leads us. May the Lord bless you and keep you so you may live a fruitful life of Grace Out Loud! Look into the face of Christ, and be comforted By Ron Branch, Pastor I do not mind admitting this about myself. I once went through a period of time in which I refused to ride an elevator for fear that the elevator cable and brakes would fail while I was in one. The reason for this was because I had seen the movie “Earthquake” (1974). As a high-rise building was shaking vigorously from a vicious California earthquake, office employees loaded up in an elevator, which eventually malfunctioned and plunged everyone in it to a gory death. The scene left an indelible impression on my mind. This personal confession sets up the remembrance of the first time I had opportunity to fly in commercial airplanes. I had agreed to preach in a series of joint revival services in six churches in Peoria, Illinois. The church group bought plane tickets to take me from Charleston, WV, to O’Hare in Chicago, then to Peoria. The thought of staying aloft for the duration of the flight was not disconcerting at all, but the thought of a sudden drop earthward—-sans fail-safe mechanisms—- because of a mechanical malfunction instilled in me a certain dread. I still had the earthquake-and-elevator image in my mind. The initial flight went rather well for me until the plane encountered a stiff shaking and sudden dipping from air turbulence. I was not expecting such, and it scared me considerably. Looking out the window, I kept anticipating the dreaded descent. But, at that moment, I gazed sharply into the face of a passing stewardess who exhibited no concern whatsoever. For the moment, I felt a measure of comfort. A week later, I boarded one of those “puddle-jumpers” for the flight from Peoria to Chicago. As we neared the O’Hare Airport, the wind started slamming hard against the little plane. I thought for sure I would be in Heaven within minutes. But, from my seat, I could see the pilot and the co-pilot, who at one point turned in his seat and asked, “How is it going back there?” I gazed sharply into his face, and he exhibited no concern whatsoever. In that moment, I felt a measure of comfort. The one thing I learned during that initial flying experience was to watch the faces of those in charge. If they did not look worried or concerned, then it eased my concerns about crashing. The comparable spiritual truth becomes dynamic for us. A direct exhortation from Apostle Paul is for God’s people to “be of good comfort.” It is not unreasonable that in every encounter of spiritual or temporal turbulence that the comfort of God should be the foremost experience. One of the Bible-based meanings of the term “comfort” is to “give up sighs of relief.” In other words, God’s comfort enables us go “whew!” God’s comfort lets us exhale. God’s comfort allows us to sit back in our chair. God’s comfort eases our frowns into smiles. But, if we are to ever experience the comfort of God during the tense moments of life, then it prevails upon us to look into His face, and be comforted. The necessity of observing the Lord is found in the spiritual truth that He never is distraught about anything. He calmly oversees the affairs of men, the actions of the Enemy, as well as our particular circumstances. Because He constantly countenances the peace that passes all understand, we should experience the comfort that all is well despite the turbulence that slams against our lives. Moments of sincere worship, time reading the Bible, and minutes in prayer each give us opportunity to gaze sharply into His face. By the way, I eventually got to the point where riding in an elevator does not bother me. I have not had opportunity as of yet to fly again. God’s help may be undeserved, but it’s there for us By Alex Colon, Pastor Have you ever heard somebody talk about how bad and deep their troubles are and think that there is no way out? Meanwhile, the same person often times blames everyone else for their own troubles. Obviously, this is not always the case 100 percent of the time, but surely it is a very common situation. If you think about it, a whole lot of our troubles are self-inflicted. In other words, many of our troubles are of our own making. Not intentionally, but nonetheless, self imposed. Many times, whether blaming others or not, people still feel guilty or condemned in some way. But it is when we deserve the punishment and not the blessing of God that we can receive His grace — the undeserved favor and God’s unmerited help. Often times, we try so hard to solve our problems, and troubles that life throws at us, whether self-inflicted or imposed by others, only to find ourselves becoming wearied in well doing. When we stop trying to be deserving of God’s help, we find God more than willing to be our Savior and our Deliverer. But when we continue to try to work things out, we are trying to be our own saviors. God will say, “Save yourself because I can’t help you when you don’t need My help.” You might be thinking, “But Pastor Alex, the Bible tells us that God helps those who help themselves?” Contrary to popular belief, this saying that “God helps those who help themselves” is nowhere in the Bible! God does not help those who help themselves. He helps those who are helpless and dependent on Him. He helps those who look to Him as their only source of help for their problem. Think about it, if they already helped themselves, then why would they need God’s help in the first place? Unfortunately, many of us are still trying to help ourselves, thinking that for certain matters, we don’t really need God. But can The Daily Sentinel Ohio Valley Publishing Co. 111 Court Street Pomeroy, Ohio Phone (740) 992-2156 Fax (740) 992-2157 we believe what God says, that without Him, we can do nothing? (John 15:5) Or do we believe that without Him we can still do some things to help ourselves? Only when we realize that we can do nothing, and are nothing in and of ourselves, can we do all things through Christ who strengthens us! (Philippians 4:13) This is the time when we can honestly see and experience God’s power demonstrated and working in our lives and on our behalf. I don’t know about you, but I’d rather do all things through Christ, than some things in my own limited strength. God is not interested in your doing some things with your limited resources. Instead, God is for you and He wants you to do all things through Him, giving you great strength because He is your help.

Tom Anderson, President Meigs County Commissioners (2) 23, 24, 28, 2012 SYRACUSE RACINE REGIONAL SEWER DISTRICT 405 Main Street Racine, Ohio 45771 February 20, 2012 Re: Recent Actions of AEP Employees Assisting Area in Averting an Emergency Public Notice: The Syracuse Racine Regional Sewer District wishes to thank AEP staff including Chris Lambert for providing prompt assistance to the Sewer District by installing power to new pump stations and facilities in Syracuse and Racine area. The actions taken by Mr. Lambert permitted new pump stations and equipment to receive electric power. Without the actions of AEP staff the sewer customers in the Villages of Syracuse and Racine were facing an emergency situation. Older pump stations that are being replaced as part of a large capital improvement project were failing. Each pump station is designed to have two operating pumps. Several pump stations were operating with only one pump. In some cases the single pumps were failing. Since the start of the project in 2011 Syracuse Racine Regional Sewer District has diligently worked to maintain the pumps until the new pump stations could be bought online. Even with this effort pumps began failing. SRRSD staff and Mayor Scott Hill of Racine worked throughout a weekend to keep one pump operating in the pump station(s). It was uncertain how long the pump would continue to operate. Without this pump sewer customers in both Syracuse and Racine would be without sanitary sewer service. The loss of the pump may have resulted in the closing of Southern Local Schools, businesses in both villages, and loss of functioning wastewater systems in homes. The Syracuse Racine Regional Sewer District contacted Mr. Chris Lambert at AEP to request emergency assistance to coordinate with Triad Engineering and Fields Excavating to provide the electric at new power pump stations to replace the failing older pump station. With all parties working together an emergency was averted do to the loss of the wastewater collection system pumps. This is an example of a group coming together to act in a timely manner to prevent an emergency. The Syracuse Racine Regional Sewer District thanks Mr. Lambert with AEP, Mayor Scott Hill, Fields Excavating and Triad Engineering for promptly addressing this situation.

Cooper added 20 as Ohio defeated Buffalo 88-77 Wednesday night to move into a three-way tie for second place in the Mid-American Conference. Offutt hit five 3-pointers and grabbed seven rebounds, while Cooper had eight assists and four steals for the Bobcats (22-6, 9-4 MAC), who are tied with the Bulls (16-9, 9-4) and Kent State. The league’s top two teams get byes into the conference tournament semifinals. Nick Kellogg scored eight of his season-high 15 points during a stretch early in the second half when Ohio outscored Buffalo 10-0 to take a 49-39 lead. Ivo Baltic and T.J. Hall had nine rebounds each for Ohio, which had a 42-34 edge on the boards over Buffalo, the nation’s fourth-ranked team in rebounding margin. Mitchell Watt led Buffalo with 19 points, Javon McCrea added 15 and Titus Robinson 14. Pitts pushes Marshall past Houston, 66-58 HUNTINGTON, W.Va. (AP) — Damier Pitts scored 15 points and dished six assists to help Marshall beat Houston 66-58 Wednesday night. DeAndre Kane and Dago Pena added 14 apiece for the Thundering Herd (17- 10, 8-5 Conference USA) who shot 44.6 percent (29 of 65) from the field. Houston led throughout the first half and took a 3123 lead into intermission. However, Marshall opened the second half on a 16-1 run to take a 39-32 lead with 13:26 left to play. Marshall pushed that lead to 59-40 behind a jumper from Pitts. Nigel Spikes came off the bench to grab 10 boards for Marshall in just 17 minutes as the Thundering Herd won the rebounding battle 43-40. Marshall shot 57.6 percent (19 of 33) in the second half, after shooting 31.3 percent (10 of 32) in the first half, and forced 15 Houston turnovers. Leon Gibson led Houston (12-14, 4-9) with 17 points. No. 20 Notre Dame blasts WVU, 71-44 straight Big East games. “They really wanted that record,” Brey said. “It’s really special for this group to do it.” The Irish went on a 17-4 run to start the second half to break it open. “We just got into a rhythm and once this team gets into a rhythm I think we can beat a lot of teams,” said Grant, whose emergence has been one of the big keys in Notre Dame’s tear. “We just got flowing and obviously our defense held them to 16 points in the second half.” The Mountaineers (17-11, 7-8), meanwhile, are going in the other direction with six losses in eight games. Kevin Jones had 15 points for West Virginia, which shot just 31.5 percent and made only 6 of 27 field goal attempts after halftime. And the Mountaineers misfired on 10 of their 11 3-point attempts. It was an ugly second half. “They got us in transition and then we panicked and took quick shots,” West Virginia coach Bob Huggins said. “Quick shots and bad shots that’s a recipe for what happened. We got so many young guys that they panicked. … We’re not athletic. We’re probably the most non-athletic team in the league. When you’re non-athletic you start taking some quick shots and all of a sudden they’re running at you, you’ve got problems.” Notre Dame’s quickness began to show in the first 5 minutes of the second half after the Irish led 30-28 at halftime. Atkins’ three-point play, a steal leading to a dunk by Grant and Grant’s 3-pointer after an offensive rebound built a 10-point lead. After a timeout, Atkins hit a jumper and Martin connected on a 3-pointer and the 17-4 run put the Irish up 47-32. Grant took off on a dunk attempt with just less than 10 minutes to play and lost the ball on his way to the rim. But he hustled and came up with the ball in the corner and hit a 3-pointer to give the Irish a 58-35 lead. “I kind of lost the ball. But I got it back,” Grant said with a smile. Just to show how things have been going for the Irish, Cooley tossed up a shot after a timeout had been called and it swished through late in the first half. He scored nine of his 11 points in the final 5 minutes of the first half as the Irish shrugged off a sluggish start and took a two-point lead behind 63 percent shooting. West Virginia’s Darryl Bryant, scoreless in the first meeting between the teams, a 55-51 Irish win in Morgantown on Feb. 8, had 10 points in the first half and none in the second. CENTENARY, Ohio — Gallia Academy High School will be holding their Winter Sports Awards Ceremony, in the high school gymnasium at 6 p.m. on Thursday, March 15. SOUTH BEND, Ind. (AP) — Swiftly and convincingly, No. 20 Notre Dame pulled away with the kind of resolve that has characterized the Irish’s transformation during a head-turning nine-game winning streak. Using balanced scoring and defensive quickness, the Irish coasted to a one-sided 71-44 victory over West Virginia on Wednesday night after leading by two points at halftime. “I thought our offensive efficiency was excellent in the second half. When you had a chance to put somebody away this group has shown a cruelty to go for the jugular,” coach Mike Brey said after the Irish secured his sixth straight 20win season. “That’s what I really love about us. I think that can help us in March.” Jerian Grant scored 20 points and had a couple of acrobatic dunks, Notre Dame made 9 of 16 3-point attempts, shot 61 percent overall and outscored West Virginia 41-16 in the second half. Scott Martin added 15 points and Jack Cooley and Eric Atkins had 13 each for the Irish, who were not expected to be contenders after losing three starters from last season and then Tim Abromatis early this season to a knee injury. The Irish (20-8, 12-3 Big East) have not lost since Jan. 16 at Rutgers and are 15-1 at the Purcell Pavilion. It’s the first time in program history Notre Dame has won nine tas in leading Point with 24 points, while Andrea Porter chipped in a tripledouble effort of 10 points, 11 rebounds and 10 assists. Katie Bruner and Allison Smith respectively added nine and five markers to the winning cause. Cassie Nibert contributed three points, while Makenzie Thomas and Ajay Adkins rounded out the scoring with two points apiece. Becky Frye, Micky Rhodes and Britney Henson all paced the Lady Raid- ers with 13 points each, followed by Brooklyn Pavalok with seven markers. Shania Lloyd and Cassidy Taylor rounded things out with two points and one point. The winner of Saturday’s contest will face the loser of the Region I, Section 1 game between Tyler Consolidated and Oak Glen next week, and vice versa. sion last week on Senior Night. Along with its season, Wahama also saw its three-game winning streak come to an end. Ashley Templeton led the guests with 17 points, 11 of which came in the first half. Sierra Carmichael was next with 14 points, followed by Mackenzie Gabritsch with nine markers. Karista Fer- guson and Kelsey Zuspan both added seven points apiece to round out the scoring. Wahama hit two threepointers and was 4-of-16 at the free throw line for 25 percent. It was the final hoops contest for seniors Ashley Templeton and Karista Ferguson in the Red and White. After Parkins, Buffalo received 15 points from Ali Burdette and 10 points from Olivia Dunn. BHS sank four trifectas and also went 21-of-36 at the charity stripe for 58 percent. Wahama finished tied for fifth (Miller) in the TriValley Conference Hocking Division with a 5-11 league mark.

If you feel fortunate, buy a lottery ticket. Remain in tune with your budget, even if someone is talking about a risk. Do not create a problem. If you are single, be careful, as your work could become far less of a priority if you meet that special person. Romance flourishes through May and into 2013. Power plays take on an important role when relating to others. If you are attached, learn not to play into a sweetie’s controlling ways. Be nonreactive. ARIES might become very pushy. Learn the word “no.” The Stars Show the Kind of Day You’ll Have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult ARIES (March 21-April 19) HHHH Observe a tendency to do the unexpected or to experience quiet jolts in your life. Strap on your seatbelt. A powerful person in your life could be difficult and controlling. You just might decide to walk away. Tonight: All smiles. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHH Take your time making a decision. You might not be able to honor a request from your in-laws or someone at a distance. It is possible that your saying “no” could cause a problem when you least expect it. Be willing to see a situation through another person’s eyes. Tonight: Head home. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHHHH Zero in on your priorities and find out where your supporters are. A problem with a partner or loved one could force you to make a change. Refuse to get into a power play at all costs. You won’t win. Tonight: Find your friends. CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHH You see life from another perspective. An early upset could be somewhat difficult to come back from. It hits you harder than it does most people. Discussions evolve, and you will see the other side of a situation. Tonight: Chill out at dinner. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHHH You hear news that gets you going this morning. Detach rather than react. You will make better decisions as a result. You might feel as if you have to do too much. Be careful about changing your schedule; you could upset a key person. Tonight: Opt for something different. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHHH Remain sensitive to a boss or higher-up who means a lot to you. Discussions occur on a one-on-one level that help resolve a problem.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHHH Others are direct and know what they want. You could feel unusually tense when dealing with a key person. You sense a hidden agenda.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHHH Pace yourself and take your time; you will complete what is needed with more precision.

Listen to what is being shared. Tonight: Act like it is Friday night. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HH Others don’t know what ails you, but they recognize that you are not feeling up to snuff. You might be suppressing more emotions than you realize, creating a withdrawn attitude. You will see a situation far differently if you relax and open up. Tonight: Refuse to get caught up in a power play. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHHH Keep communication open. You might hear something that is so surprising, that even you need to sit down. Flex and get into the spontaneity of the moment. You might be more controlling than you think. Note your reaction to a change. Tonight: Meet friends. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHH You might see a situation much differently because of a change with your finances. You pull the wild card financially. Do not indulge a kneejerk reaction.

(AP) — West Virginia has added former Pittsburgh interim coach Keith Patterson to its defensive coaching staff. Patterson served as defensive coordinator and linebackers coach with the Panthers last season and took over interim coaching duties for the Compass Bowl after Todd Graham left. Patterson was hired in January as defensive coordinator at Arkansas State but resigned last week. West Virginia has filled two of the three openings created when defensive coordinator Jeff Casteel, defensive line coach Bill Kirelawich and defensive backs coach David Lockwood joined Rich Rodriguez at Arizona in January. Oklahoma State’s Joe DeForest was hired last month. Newly hired Mike Smith left two weeks later to return to the New York Jets. Coach Dana Holgorsen said Wednesday he will announce coaching responsibilities once his staff is complete. John got in the game with a wide range of sports, movies and more & saved up to $750!

The outfielder has reported to camp weighing 16 pounds less than at the end of last season. It’s a noticeable change for the All-Star, who thinks the slimmer body will make him faster and help him get through the season better. “I just felt I wasn’t getting any thinner,” Bruce said on Wednesday. “I thought that 15 or 16 fewer pounds on my body would help me get through the season. I have never been a speed guy but this might make me a little faster.” Though he made the AllStar team last season, his batting average, slugging percentage and on-base percentage dropped slightly. Bruce batted .256 with 32 homers and 97 RBIs in 157 games. He stole eight bases, but was caught trying to steal seven times. The 24-year-old outfielder started losing weight in January, dropping the 16 pounds in six weeks through workouts that involved more running. He also changed his diet. “I cut down on grains, and the obvious things no fried foods, no soft drinks,” he said. “I will eat more grains now because I need the carbs.” Manager Dusty Baker thinks that Bruce, who is down from his weight of 226 at the start of last season, might be able to get through his swing faster with a slimmed-down physique. “When your body changes, you have to adjust a little,” Baker said. “Our bodies change as we get older.” Bruce has been hitting in a batting cage at home in Texas. He’s eager to see how his swing feels when he faces Reds pitchers during spring training. Position players are scheduled to report and hold their first workout on Friday. “I’m just as strong as I was,” Bruce said. “We will see when I face live pitching.” Pitcher Carmona seeks pardon to rejoin Indians SANTO DOMINGO, Dominican Republic (AP) — The pitcher Roberto Hernandez, formerly known as Fausto Carmona, told The Associated Press he hopes to obtain a judicial pardon and return to the Cleveland Indians this season. Hernandez was placed on baseball’s restricted list after he was arrested in the Dominican Republic on false identity charges last month. Authorities have said he is 31, three years older than the pitcher claimed. “I’m doing all that is necessary so that when the pardon is granted, I won’t have to wait long to play again,” he said Wednesday. Hernandez also said he keeps in touch with Indians manager Manny Acta. “He has provided support,” he said. “We don’t talk a lot about the issue, but he is keeping an eye on me.” Hernandez’s agent, Jorge Brito, said he is confident Hernandez will soon rejoin the team. “We are working to resolve this situation, and we believe that Roberto will be able to pitch in the major leagues this year,” Brito said. Hernandez said he is meeting with young baseball players to warn them about the problems of using a false identity. Hernandez said he chose to remain quiet about his past when fellow Dominican player Juan Carlos Oviedo, a Miami Marlins reliever formerly known as Leo Nunez, was detained after playing under a fake name for seven major league seasons. “I know I should have come clean before, but I was scared to reveal what happened to me,” Hernandez said. “That’s why I waited until it became public.” Hernandez went 7-15 with a 5.25 ERA last season and was expected to be part of the starting rotation this year. The Indians exercised his $7 million option for 2012 in October. Cleveland signed Hernandez to a fouryear contract in 2008. The club has options on him for 2013 at $9 million and 2014 at $12 million.
