Taylor, 72 50 cents daily FRIDAY, MARCH 2, 2012 Vol. 62, No. 36 Commissioners to acquire Rutland water, sewer By Sarah Hawley shawley@heartlandpublications.com POMEROY — A resolution unanimously approved by the Meigs County Commissioners during Thursday’s regular meeting paves the way for the acquisition of the Village of Rutland’s water and sewer facilities. In addition to this acquisition, the ordinance also established the Meigs County Water and Sewer District. The process of acquiring the water and sewer systems from the village has been a process, including a public meeting and passage of an ordinance by Rutland Village Council. The village had previously approved the sale and transfer of complete ownership and operation of the village’s water distribution system and sewer collection and treatment systems. The resolution passed by the commissioners will allow for the Meigs County Board of Commissioners to own and operate the Water and Sewer facilities under the authority of the Ohio Revised Code 6103 and 6117, respectively. A general plan has been adopted by the commissioners for providing water and sewer services for the Village of Rutland and contiguous area of Meigs County, which excludes all areas that are currently being served by other water and sewer providers. It also clears the way for construc- tion and installation of water and sewer facilities in the future. It was also made clear that this is being done for the benefit of the citizens of the area, according to the Commissioners.

Mardi Gras in the French City FAC to host public party, fundraiser By Stephanie Filson, mdtnews@mydailytribune.com GALLIPOLIS — The French Art Colony Regional Multi-Arts Center has held an annual silent auction for approximately 20 years, but, according to organizers, this year is going to be different. The FAC will ‘kick it up’ this year with a full-blown Mardi Gras party atmosphere surrounding the fundraising event, which FAC Executive Director Joseph Wright described as “crucial” for the Gallipolis non- profit, which has seen a 400 percent decrease in state funding over the past 10 years while expenses have tripled. The event, which has traditionally been held at the French Art Colony on First Avenue, will this year be held at the Gallipolis Elk’s Lodge, located at 408 Second Ave. The event is slated to begin at 7 p.m. on Saturday, March 3, and will feature Grand Ole’ Opry recording artist Matt King, pictured during his summer performance at Gallipolis’ Ohio River Live event held on Court Street, and Eric Heatherly, former lead guitarist for Shania Twain.

See BOARD |‌ 2 Likens eliminated from American Idol By Nathan Jeffers njeffers@heartlandpublications.com HOLLYWOOD, Calif. — Thousands of votes were counted, and unfortunately it wasn’t enough to put Chase Likens among the top 13 contestants on American Idol. On Thursday night, millions of fans, including many local residents, tuned in to find out the fate of the 25 semi-finalists. Host Ryan Seacrest stated over 33 million votes were counted in deciding the top 10, and then the three celebrity judges would pick six other contestants to compete for three “wild card” spots, completing the top 13. But Point Pleasant local Chase Likens, along with 11 other contestants are no longer moving forward in the competition this time around. On Tuesday’s episode of American Idol, Likens performed alongside the other 12 male semi-finalists, and sang “Storm Warning” by Hunter Hayes. Following his performance, the celebrity judges seemed positive in their comments. “Welcome to American Idol, cowboy,” said judge Steven Tyler. “You’ve got the movie star good looks for sure, but you sounded great tonight, as well,” judge Jennifer Lopez said. “Tonight is about showing America who you are, and you definitely did that with that song. I look forward to seeing where you go.” “You definitely have range,” said veteran judge Randy Jackson. “You’re ready dude. You’re ready.” Photo courtesy Fox In an interview following the reveal Pictured is Point Pleasant native Chase Likens, performing “Storm Warning” on season 11 See LIKENS ‌| 2 of American Idol. �Friday, March 2, 2012 Meigs County Community Calendar Friday, March 2 SALEM CENTER — Meigs County Pomona Grange will meet on Friday March 2 at 7:30 p.m. at Star Grange Hall, located on County Road 1, 3 miles North of Salem Center.

Sewer From Page 1 It was previously reported that the purchase of the water and sewer facilities will allow for the restructuring of the loan currently in place between the village and the Ohio Water Development Association (OWDA). During a January public meeting, John Rauch of the Rural Community Assistance Program (RCAP), who has been instrumental in trying to work out a solution for Rutland regarding its declining water and sewer systems, which have been running with negative fund balances for many years, spoke to the citizens about the problems and possible solutions. He said that some factors which have contributed to the deficits are the high cost of water from Leading Creek Conservancy District, high interest rates for the OWDA loans and high operation and maintenance costs. Rauch has been working with the village for about two years, and had told the village that a rate hike of around $30 would be needed if Rutland continued to operate the water and sewer systems. Rauch added that the sale option has the most potential to alleviate Rutland’s problems and that the Commissioners are only trying to help and have made the offer solely for Rutland’s benefit. He then polled the residents attending — and most indicated they thought it was a good idea. No time table was given for the acquisition, and the final cost is not known at this time. In other business, the commissioners accepted a bid from PSI Construction, of Pomeroy, for the Meigs Soil and Water Conservation District Waterless Latrine Project. The amount of the bid was $34,400. The commissioners approved a payment of $425 to Kimberly Tattrie for an animal claim. According to the commissioners, Tattrie’s female Sanen goat was killed by dogs. The dogs have since been captured by the dog warden. Dog Warden Tom Proffitt will be holding a spayneuter clinic on Wednesday, March 28, in the basement annex. It was also mentioned that Boggs Pest Control will be raising the monthly fee from $67 to $73. This is the first rate increase since 2003. Also during the meeting, the first public hearing for the Community Housing Improvement Program (CHIP) was held. More on this meeting will appear in a later edition of The Daily Sentinel. Present at the meeting were Commissioners Tom Anderson, Tim Ihle, and Mike Bartrum, clerk Gloria Kloes, Grants Administrator Jean Trussell, Keith Romine, Rick Price and Prosecutor Collen Williams.

Michael Reitmire Tracy Lynn Michael Reitmire, 40, of Middleport, Ohio, passed away on February 29, 2012, at Holzer Hospital. She was born on September 19, 1971, in North Kingston, Rhode Island, daughter of David Michael and Ruth Priddy. Tracy attended the Soul Harvest Church in Mason, West Virginia. She was a generous spirit with a gentle soul who was dedicated to God, family and friends. She was an uplift to her family and to all who knew her. She loved animals and was very active in 4-H where she enjoyed competing in competions with her horses. She was a former employee of the Cincinnati Cat Clinic. Tracy is survived by her husband, Richard A. Reitmire of Middleport; parents, David (Anna Belle) Michael of Leon, West Virginia, and Ruth (James) Priddy of Middleport; sister, Brandy Michael of Leon; grandmother, Annabelle Ward of Middleport; several step-brothers, step-sisters, aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews and cousins.

Likens From Page 1 of the top 24, Likens attempted to explain how he felt when he learned he had made it to that stage. “Happiness, excitement, awe,” Likens said. “I was awestruck. There were just no words to describe it.” He went on to talk about what America will see from him in the future, and many will surely agree that it applies to his future outside of American Idol, as well. “You can expect to see a lot of high energy performances from me,” Likens said. “A lot of cross-over country-type music.” He went on to compare his performances with those of Lady Antebellum and Rascal Flatts — bands that are technically “country,” but cross over into pop music as well. Likens’ mother, Jodi, also traveled to Hollywood this week to support her son. She previously shared her excitement with the Point Pleasant Register. “It’s such an honor to have gotten as far as he has,” Jodi Likens said about Chase making it to the top 24. After last night’s results, his mother, and the rest of his family, friends and fans here in Mason County and the surrounding area, are no doubt proud of him and excited that he made it as far as he did. Likens previously auditioned for season ten of American Idol, and made it The Daily Sentinel • Page 3 www.mydailysentinel.com to the top 120 contestants. Locally, Likens has been performing since he was five years old. He began at an elementary school talent show, and has continued to perform at numerous venues in several different states. He was the 2008 Jackson County Colgate Country Showdown winner, a two-time Ariel Jr. Idol, Jackson County Jr. Fair Idol, and a regular performer at the Ohio Valley Opry in McConnellsville, Ohio. He was also able to perform with Lady Antebellum at the Jackson County Fair in 2008. As with any other previous Idol contestant, it all comes down to America’s votes, and unfortunately, it wasn’t enough this time. Even though he will not be continuing on American Idol this season, it is almost certain that Likens will continue performing — either here in Point Pleasant and the surrounding region, or maybe again someday in Hollywood.

No other details about the incident were released as of press time. The body of a second southern Ohio woman was found on Thursday after she was reported missing in Vinton County. The Associated Press reports that the body of Robin A. Waldron, 46, Vinton County, was found after she was reported missing and possibly in danger on Thursday morning by the Vinton County Sheriff’s Office. She was last seen in the Carpenter Road area near Allensville in Vinton County between midnight and 12:30 a.m. Thursday. No information has been released suggesting that the two incidents in Vinton and Gallia counties are related. These latest incidents follow the investigation into two unrelated possible homicides that recently occurred within a two-week span in Gallia County. David A. Ramey, 38, Vinton, has been charged with murder following the shooting death of his wife, Stephanie R. Ramey, 28, early on February 15. This incident occurred at a residence located on Hartsook Road in Huntington Township, near the Village of Vinton. A case against Ramey is expected to be presented to a grand jury later this month. He is currently being held in the Gallia County Jail. Few details have been released and the investigation also continues in the apparent stabbing death of Tomas Marr, 29, Gallipolis, whose body was found late on the morning of February 22 at his residence in Kanauga.

By Thomas Johnson, Pastor For the past several weeks, hardly a day has gone by without something of a political nature being delivered to our mailbox. Although a part of me is inclined to think of such mailings as “junk mail,” that part of me which votes welcomes this literature for the information it provides about the respective candidate(s). Having grown up in the heart of the Allegheny National Forest, I know it is the fate of many trees to be converted into paper, and it pains me to see how much paper some candidates need to get their point(s) across. Such an extravagant use of paper, in turn, requires an effective means by which it can be disposed of. I’m fortunate to have a paper shredder available to me at home for just such a purpose. Friends of ours who are farmers recycle what we shred for bedding for their newborn calves. So, then, the matter becomes a “win-win” situation. After candidates communicate their position, qualifications and agenda to me, and I’ve read what they have to say and no longer need their literature, some calves get a comfortable “bed” in which to lie. Meanwhile, the fact remains that primary elections are looming on the horizon. In thinking about this the other day I was reminded of something my father taught me years ago — “Now is the time for all good men to come to the aid of their party.” That brought to my mind yet another, more poignant thought: … “all it takes for evil to triumph is for good men to do nothing.” Although each construct is valid, the second of these sentiments outweighs the first. If one’s “party” is political in nature, or, as is also possible, is a cause to which one subscribes, let us not be so naïve as to ignore the fact that “good” is itself a relative term, and that even in the most venal of organizations there exists someone others might think of as “good.” Here’s where I believe the Christian Church in America today has, for lack of a better term, gone A.W.O.L. from its unique, Christ-ordained mission to represent Jesus, and in His name to make disciples. I am compelled to attribute this spiritual treason to those who, in their thinking and theology, want to avoid at all costs offending any one individual, or any one individual group. Instead, what we now are dealing with is a mind-set not unlike that which we used to revert to when, as kids, we would play hideand-go-seek. Unable to discover the hiding places of all the players, whoever was “It” would then yell, “all-eall-e-in-free!” So it is that churches liberally admit all comers, which essentially is not a bad idea. Such thinking goes south, though, when churches assume Jesus approves of their overall lack of discernment, and their subsequent “anything goes” mentality and polity. Grounding my premise on Mark 8:3438, I beg to disagree. This passage is significant for its revelation that we who claim to be followers of Jesus are deceiving ourselves, unless and until we set aside our egos and agendas and in their place take up the cross He would have us bear. Hold that thought. Because in the pre- ceding paragraph I set forth the requirement that we need to purge ourselves of our egos and agenda — which, given our human nature, is no mean feat! — I can substantiate what I said with a Biblical precedent. The Old Testament Book of Exodus relates the story of God’s commissioning His servant Moses to go before Pharaoh, from whom he was to demand the freedom of the Jewish people. For his part, Moses had no confidence in himself, and seriously questioned God’s thinking. However, Moses did have something available to him upon which he had come to rely — i.e., his rod. No doubt it served a number of purposes, and Moses was quite accustomed to having it in his hand. Then came the moment of truth, when God commanded Moses to throw it down upon the ground, and it became a serpent. When Moses touched its tail, he got his rod back (4:1-5). To be disciples of Jesus Christ is to acknowledge and agree He is Lord, and so it is that we must throw down before God that which interferes with our committing to Him. Let us be bold and forthright about Whose we are, for such honesty exalts and glorifies Jesus, our Lord! God sometimes throws us off His back for beneficent purposes By Ron Branch, Pastor The story about the Biblical patriarch, Jacob, is a compelling account of how God worked in the life of a man to bring the character of that man into line with the Lord’s plans and purposes. Jacob had some serious life issues early on, and the Lord worked vigorously but patiently to lead Jacob to learn the beneficence of God’s love, blessings, and purposes for him. As a matter of fact, the Scripture puts the workings of God in Jacob’s life into the framework of an intriguing dynamic. We read, “As an eagle stirs up her nest, flutters over her young, spreads abroad her wings, takes them, bears them on her wings, so the Lord alone did lead him.” This verse describes the method a mother eagle uses to teach her eaglets how to fly and to soar to fulfill the purposes of their eagle existence. Consider that the mother eagle carefully fabricates from sticks and briers a nest for her coming eaglets. She makes the nest comfortable by lining it with her own feathers. After her eggs hatch, she brings food to nourish them. They think, perhaps, “What a nice life we have here. Mom built us a cozy home, and she feeds us all the time.” But, the mother eagle understands that that if her children are to ever fulfill their life purposes, they need to learn a critical lesson. They need to learn not only how to fly, but they need to get to the point of wanting to fly. So, as says the Scripture, she “stirs up her nest.” She makes the nest uncomfortable. The exacerbated eaglets utter the complaint, perhaps, “What is Mom doing? She is tearing up our nest. We cannot get comfortable in this place any- By Alex Colón, Pastor All Christians believe that we are ‘saved’ or ‘born-again’ by the atoning work of Christ. This is not a problem to our belief system. The Kingdom position of being saved carries a big blessing with it in addition to spiritual salvation. Today I’d like to encourage you to believe God for the full package deal that you have been given in Christ. In Ephesians 2:-9 it says: “for by grace you have been saved, through faith, and that not of yourselves, it is a gift from God lest any man should boast.” Another way of saying is the way God’s Word Translation puts it: “God saved you through faith as an act of kindness. You had nothing to do with it. Being saved is a gift from God. It’s not the result of anything By Thom Mollohan, Pastor Imagine for a moment smooth, placid waters perfectly mirroring sapphire blue skies. Cottony white tufts of cloud emanate a faint golden glow as the sun shines down in full autumn glory. Sounds like a calendar picture, doesn’t it? But then, is it possible that the serene scene before us holds either dangerous poisons or other terrors beneath the glass-like surface of the waters? Hollywood has, of course, found the question to be very profitable, telling tales of giant alligators, schools of scientifically modified piranha, or strange chemicals that alter the genetic makeup of wildlife thus producing terrifying monsters that prey on hapless campers, ecologists, and forest rangers. But in spite of such fanciful storytelling, our hearts seem still drawn to the peaceful setting of still waters, glad indeed that our God will lead us to the water’s edge so that our souls may be refreshed. How we hate it then when folks come along and throw stones into our waters! Just when we feel that we’ve reached a peaceful spot and purpose in our hearts to linger there, a stone is thrown, plunking into our lives, disturbing us with ripples of confusion and upsetting our delicate sense of security. Those of us who have had our “boats rocked” and the waters of our lives disturbed by unexpected circumstances have an obvious distaste for the experience and can be very reluctant to disturb the waters of other people’s lives. We can all agree that throwing stones, so to speak, of condemnation, malice, anger, and selfishness is to contribute to the more.” Mom soon afterward prepares to bring the critical lesson home. It is time to teach them to fly. Accordingly, she “takes them and bears them on her wings” — one at a time, of course. Perhaps it is the whiniest of the eaglets she takes on her back first. As the mother eagle leaps from the nest and spreads her wings to soar, the eaglet thinks the entertainment is great. Besides, he now has an even greater view of the landscape from his mother’s back. However, Mom suddenly and unexpectedly turns and throws the eaglet off. Utterly frightened, the eaglet plummets fast toward the ground. But, the mother eagle carefully swoops underneath and takes the eaglet on her back again. Getting a firm grip on her with his talons, the eaglet screams out, perhaps, “Mom, what are you doing? Why did you do that?” Turning her head back to him, she replies, perhaps, “Next time, dummy, flap your wings!” The process is repeated until the eaglet learns to apply his wings and soar like an eagle should. It is not his purpose in life to stay in a comfortable nest, nor to let his mother fly for him. It was a hard Believe and Receive you’ve done, so no one can brag about it. “ I’d like to point out that in these two verses the entire full gospel is presented. There are three key words in this passage that I would like to draw your attention to: 1. Grace: Salvation is all part of God’s unmerited, unearned and underserved favor. This is not your work, but His. You can do absolutely nothing to earn it, it’s a gift from God. 2. Faith: Grace alone does not save anybody, neither does faith alone. It actually takes both. This is a Kingdom Contract. God makes you the offer to receive Jesus Christ into your life to walk and become part of the Kingdom family of God and you must believe and take action to receive it and accept the contract. So it takes both Grace and Faith to be saved. Therefore, it takes God’s gift and your faith to get you saved. If you don’t believe it, it won’t happen. It’s that simple. 3. Saved: The next word to consider is “saved.” This word is very interesting because the actual original Greek word is “sozo.” Sozo speaks of spiritual, emotional, physical, and financial salvation or restoration. In other words, when we receive Christ into our hearts and begin to live for Him what we received at that moment was not only the gift of eternal salvation, but also the gift of healing, prosperity, way to learn the lesson, but it was also an important lesson to learn. As it concerns us, times are it seems as though the Lord has rather turned us off His back, and the emotional, mental, and spiritual falls fill us with feelings of disconcertment, disappointment, and displacement. But, those times God works accordingly in our lives are actually for beneficent purposes. He may want to position us for blessing, or to demonstrate in fresh manner His love for us. He may want us to learn a particular lesson, or to improve our overall quality of character. Regardless, the manifestation of His will for our lives is always paramount. This vital truth is clearly seen in Jacob’s experience with God. “And underneath are His everlasting arms” — or, wings, in this case. emotional and mental stability, and much, much more. It is vitally important to know that your salvation does not limit God to spiritual salvation only, but rather, to a total human restoration. This is the kind of God we serve. He not only gives you eternal life (which is all perfectly good in and of itself) but He also gives you so much more. I encourage you today to believe God for your eternal salvation, and also for your physical, emotional and material restoration. Do not let the devil rob you of your seed or of your harvest. It is God’s blessing to you and it is up to you to believe God for the harvest in due season. Remember, it takes God’s grace and your faith to fully restore you. It is a gift and a doing of God, you just simply believe and receive! Make it a Great Day! A Hunger For More poisons and problems from which people need safe haven. But there are other “stones”, however, that are really treasures which we should only be too glad to share with others. If you are a man or woman who has placed his or her faith in Jesus Christ as Savior, then you have acknowledged that He is “the Way, the Truth, and the Life” (see John 14:6). If He is then all those things, you have a treasure house with which you may richly bless the lives of others. What stones do you have that others are blessed when you “toss them into the lives of others”? Three come readily to my mind. The first is the golden stone of love. It is the stone that helps to prepare the waters for other golden stones and, without which, the other stones could not be received. It paves the way for others to hear and receive the news that God gave His Son for them. It opens minds and pierces hearts that have grown cold and calloused. As we allow love to motivate our hands and feet to the speedy aid of those who are in need, or to support those who suffer, we have lobbed a rock into the sea of complacency, causing waves to break against walls of indifference, eroding them so that as God comes near, He may find a heart that can receive His promised salvation. “This is how we know what love is: Jesus Christ laid down His life for us. And we ought to lay down our lives for our brothers. If anyone has material possessions and sees his brother in need but has no pity on him, how can the love of God be in him? Dear children, let us not love with words or tongue but with actions and in truth” (1 John 3:16-18). The second stone is holiness. Called to be a people who “have come out from the world”, we think differently, act differently, and live life differently than do those who do not yet know Jesus as Lord. One of the great fundamental principles on which we build our lives as Christians is that God’s people must leave behind the selfish and sinful compulsions that once enslaved us and move ahead towards pure and holy lives that may be offered up to our God through Jesus’ forgiveness without condemnation. We therefore strive to not compromise our callings by “dabbling” in things that we know clearly are offensive to our God and Savior. “Therefore, prepare your minds for action; be self-controlled; set your hope fully on the grace to be given you when Jesus Christ is revealed. As obedient children, do not conform to the evil desires you had when you lived in ignorance. But just as He Who called you is holy, so be holy in all you do” (1 Peter 1:13-15). The third stone of gold is truth. In an age of innovation, I’ve little complaint in regard to applying such innovation to serving others in love, to styles of music, and even to modes of worship (as long as there isn’t any compromise on Godly principles). Where I would have GREAT complaint, however, is in the matter of a correct understanding of God’s truth. Innovation is all right (and even beneficial as God steers us on to deeper understandings of Himself and His purposes), but one cannot be “innovative” with truth. Man’s creativity is not acceptable in any way, shape, or form when it encroaches God’s sovereignty. If, for example, “another way to heaven” is introduced to a congregation, a lurking menace is stirring beneath the surface of what appears to be a pleasing scene of universality. No, it is good for God’s people to throw the golden stone of truth at such bottom feeding lies. “Dear friends, although I was very eager to write to you about the salvation we share, I felt I had to write and urge you to contend for the faith that was once for all entrusted to the saints” (Jude 3). People don’t like their calm waters disturbed, it is true. But when people realize that what they’re being given are the “gold nuggets” of love, holiness, and truth that sets us free from the bondage of sin and death, silver ripples are unleashed that emanate outward creating a current that draws people to the only hope that the world can ever know: God’s Son. “To the only God our Savior be glory, majesty, power and authority, through Jesus Christ our Lord, before all ages, now and forevermore! Amen” (Jude 25). (Thom Mollohan and his family have ministered in southern Ohio the past 16 ½ years and is the author of The Fairy Tale Parables and Crimson Harvest.

(AP) — Jared Sullinger knew the pass was coming to him. And why not after he had powered and muscled his way through Northwestern defenders all game? Teammate Aaron Craft delivered the ball right where Sullinger wanted it. He turned and banked in the game-winner with 3.1 seconds left Wednesday night as No. 10 Ohio State recovered after squandering a 13-point lead to beat Northwestern 75-73. “Craft threw a perfect pass to me and led me right to the angle of the backboard. He let me turn over my left shoulder and finish with my right hook. The bread and butter,” said Sullinger, who had 22 points and 18 rebounds. “Craft told me he was going to throw it to me. No ifs, ands or buts about it, he said. He threw it to me and I made the shot.” Northwestern’s Alex Marcotullio tied the game on a 3-pointer with 7.7 seconds to go as the Wildcats went on a late 8-0 run. But after a timeout, Craft did as promised and got the ball to Sullinger. “It was just get the ball to Jared and let him make a play. That’s how we drew it up and I’m glad we were able to execute,” Craft said. After Sullinger’s basket, Northwestern’s John Shurna came down court and threw up a long desperation shot that hit the rim at the buzzer. “Disappointment. Kind of a tough way to go out,” said Shurna, the leading scorer in Northwestern history who finished with 22 points in his regular- season home finale at Welsh-Ryan Arena. Shurna’s shot that could have won the game looked on target but as Northwestern has found out most of this season in its quest for a first-ever NCAA tournament bid, close isn’t good enough. “Thought it had a chance,” Shurna said. “Put it up there and hope for the best. … That’s all you can do.” Ohio State (24-6, 12-5), which had lost three of five, still has a chance to tie for the Big Ten title if it can win at No. 5 Michigan State in Sunday’s regular season finale. The Spartans already have at least a share of the championship, despite losing to Indiana on Tuesday night. “It’s pretty cool,” Sullinger said. Deshaun Thomas added 19 points and 10 rebounds and Craft scored 14 points with four 3-pointers for the Buckeyes, who outrebounded Northwestern 44-18, including 20-6 on the offensive boards. “They killed us on the second shot,” Northwest- ern coach Bill Carmody said. “My games flows with it. I haven’t been rebounding as well as I did last year,” Sullinger said, somewhat amazed at the discrepancy on the boards. “We kind of played off the mismatches. Never been a part of something like that,” he added. “We were determined.” Drew Crawford scored 23 points for the Wildcats (17-12, 7-10), who have one regular-season game See OHIO ‌|8 Eastern falls to Pike Eastern, 72-49 Alex Hawley ahawley@heartlandpublications.com ROCKSPRINGS, Ohio — All good things must come to an end. The Eastern boys basketball team is not the sectional champion for the first time since 2007. The Green and Gold fell to Pike Eastern Wednesday night at Larry R. Morrison Gymnasium on the campus of Meigs High School 72-49. Pike Eastern (16-5) started the game executing on both ends of the floor scoring 17 points and holding Eastern (5-16) to seven over the first eight minutes. Eastern hit four three-pointers in the second canto on its way to 16 points in the quarter. The Brown and Orange scored 15 in the second and saw its lead cut to single digits headed into the half. After the half the Pike Eastern offense came alive after halftime scoring 22 in the third period. Eastern matched its second quarter score with 16 again in the third. The Brown and Orange took the 54-39 lead into the finale. Eastern held its opponent to just four field goals in the final stanza but Pike Eastern cashed in on 9-of-14 attempts from the line. The Green and Gold scored 10 in the finale and fell to Pike Eastern 72-49. Eastern had a trio of players in double figures in scoring, led by Kirk Pullins with 17 points, followed by Chris Bissell with 12 points on four three-pointers, and Max Car- nahan with 10. Chase Cook scored eight and rounding out the Eastern scoring was Zakk Heaton with two points. Pike Eastern was led by Chad Lands with 22 points, followed by Aaron Satterfield with 13, Blake Roberts with 12, and Zach Bosst with 11. This marked the final game of the season for Eastern, which finished tied for seventh in the Tri-Valley Conference Hocking Division and 5-16 overall.

Morrison Gymnasium. Tornadoes topple Trimble, 59-31 Alex Hawley ahawley@heartlandpublications.com ROCKSPRINGS, Ohio — Coach Jeff Caldwell is getting pretty good at this trick. It had been five seasons since the Southern boys basketball team had won a sectional title when Caldwell arrived in Racine. In the five years he has been at SHS they have won sectional titles in each. The Tornadoes defeated Trimble Wednesday night at Larry R. Morrison Gymnasium on the campus of Meigs High School 59-31 to earn their third victory over the Tomcats this season and earn a trip to ‘The Convo’ for the fifth consecutive year. Southern (18-3) began the contest with an 11-2 run tat lasted just over three minutes and forced Trimble (3-19) to take a timeout. SHS outscored Trimble 5-4 over the remainder of the period taking a 16-6 lead into the second stanza. “We’re able to score when we get out in transition off of our defense,” said Coach Caldwell after the game. That was very evident in the second quarter, as the Tomcats scored just four points over the eight minute stretch and Southern had their best offense quarter of the night putting up 17 points. SHS was firmly in control headed into the break, leading 33-10. The Tornadoes defensive pressure after halftime was too much for the THS ball handlers, who committed 11 turnovers in the third period alone. Southern struggled from the line in the third cashing in on just 2-of-7 attempts, but the Tornadoes were able to score 14 in the quarter and hold the Tomcats to seven pushing Alex Hawley/photo the SHS lead to 30 headed Southern senior Andrew Roseberry (10) makes a layup durinto the finale. ing the Tornadoes 59-31 sectional championship victory over See TORNADOES |‌ 8 Trimble, Wednesday night in Rocksprings.

He said he didn’t really speak to Lin when they both played in the Rising Stars Challenge on Friday at the All-Star game and repeated the same basic answer when asked about his counterpart, saying Lin was a great story, great point guard, and was leading the Knicks to wins. Now it’s up to 10 in the last 13 games, and back to .500. With the recent additions of Baron Davis and JR Smith, and the return of rookies Iman Shumpert and Josh Harrellson from injuries, the Knicks believe their depth has become a strength. And it was the reserves who broke open the game to start the fourth quarter. The Knicks began the period with a 19-6 burst, turning a two-point lead into a 101-86 advantage as the starters watched. Novak made two 3-pointers, Davis made a layup and hooked up with Smith on a gorgeous alleyoop. Jared Jeffries had a bucket and Shumpert capped it with a layup with 5:50 remaining before the first team finally got to play again. Amare Stoudemire and Tyson Chandler came back with 5:23 left, and Lin and Anthony returned 21 seconds later. The reserves got loud ovations as they departed, and Novak was even treated to a “We want Novak! We want Novak!” chant with about 3 minutes left. Chandler had 13 points and 15 rebounds. Cleveland appeared on its way to joining Toronto, Charlotte, Phoenix, Milwaukee, New Orleans and New Jersey as sub.-500 teams who have won at Madison Square Garden. The Knicks missed eight of their first nine shots as Cleveland raced to a 7-1 lead. Jamison’s 3-pointer with 6.5 seconds left made it 31-24 after one quarter. Daniel Gibson hit three straight 3-pointers midway through the second to push the lead to 16, and it peaked at 17 later in the period before the Cavs settled for a 61-49 advantage at halftime. Lin bounced back from his 1-for-11 performance in a 102-88 loss at Miami in the last game before the break, going 6 of 12. Irving, playing in front of family and friends from nearby New Jersey, shot 8 of 18. �Friday, March 2, 2012 The Daily Sentinel • Page 7 www.mydailysentinel.com PUBLIC NOTICE NOTICE: is hereby given that on Saturday , March 3, 2012 at 10:00 a.m., a public sale will be held at 211 W.

(AP) — Shin-Soo Choo found inner peace in a most unexpected place. While taking basic training during the offseason with the South Korean military, the Indi- ans outfielder was required to go on 16-mile hikes while carrying 55 pounds of weight in his backpack. It was during these physically grueling exercises where the 29-year-old finally healed the pain of a troubling year. Army stint helped cleanse Indians’ Choo CENTENARY, Ohio — The basketball programs at Gallia Academy landed three players on the AllSoutheastern Ohio Athletic League squads for 2012, as voted on by the coaches within the league. Seniors Heather Ward, Mattie Lanham and Nick Saunders were the three representatives for the Blue and White, as both the Blue Angels and Blue Devils mustered three wins apiece this past winter. Besides matching 3-18 overall marks, both GAHS squads also went 1-9 in SEOAL play. Ward was a first-team selection after leading the Blue Angels in scoring, while Lanham was an honorable mention selection in the girls division. Both Blue Angels are first-time recipients of All-SEOAL accolades in girls basketball. Saunders led the Blue Devils in scoring — based on a full 20 games — this past season, which garnered the senior honorable men- Saunders first-ever All-SEOAL honor in boys hoops. Dion McKinley and Eugene Collins were named player and coach of the year, respectively, after guiding Portsmouth to its first SEOAL basketball title since the last 1920s. Madison Ridout (Jackson) and Allie Grace Proctor (Warren) shared player of the year honors in girls, while the coach of the year was Warren’s Amy Colgrove. 2012 All-SEOAL Basketball Teams BOYS Zach Johnson, Chillicothe 6-2 11 G Malik London, Chillicothe** 6-8 12 F/C Colt Chapman, Jackson* 6-5 12 F Luke Miller, Logan 6-1 12 G/F Wayne Evans, Portsmouth* 6-2 12 G Dion McKinley, Portsmouth* 6-5 12 C Zaide Whitley, Portsmouth 6-0 12 G Evan French, Warren 6-4 10 F Jeremy Hastie, Warren Josh Windland, Warren 6-4 12 F Honorable mention: Aaron Elliott, Chillicothe; Nick Saunders, Gallipolis; Alec Ray, Jackson; Gaven Jourdan, Logan; Len Collins, Portsmouth; Tyler Ward, Warren.

Penn State women emerge as Big 10’s top seed STATE COLLEGE, Pa. (AP) — Penn State is confident heading into this week’s Big Ten tournament. Seven straight wins, a No. 9 ranking in the AP poll, and a conference crown for the first time in eight seasons, tend to have that effect on a team. But now comes the hard part. Especially because the Big Ten appears tougher than ever this season with seven teams owning at least 19 victories. They all have a chance to make the NCAA tournament, and they’re all after the Lady Lions in Indianapolis. “I think it’s a much more competitive conference than it has been,” Ohio State coach Jim Foster said this week in a teleconference. “A few years ago, we won the conference regular season with four games to go, and that just shouldn’t be.” Indeed, the race went down to the final week this year. The Lady Lions beat the Buckeyes 84-66 on Feb. 20 before wrapping up the title outright with a 74-51 win Sunday over Minnesota. Penn State (23-5, 13-3) had its highest league win total since 2004-05. “The challenges have just begun,” Penn State point guard Alex Bentley said before practice Wednesday. “There’s more to go and we’re putting that aside and focusing on the Big Ten tournament.” Bentley, a junior, was one of the coach Coquese Washington’s first highprofile recruits when she took over the Lady Lions five years ago. Once a perennial contender, Penn State had slipped in the last few years of longtime coach Rene Portland’s tenure. Now, Washington is the league’s coach of the year after a 2011-12 reviv- al, while Bentley this week was named to the league’s all-defensive team. “I have been on that child about her defense since she walked on this campus two years ago,” Washington said with a grin. Washington was one of seven new coaches who entered the league within a three-year span starting in 2006, a roster which included Michigan’s Kevin Borseth, Michigan State’s Suzy Merchant and Purdue’s Sharon Versyp. Some of those coaches infused the league with different coaching and recruiting styles. “You just look at the wins and losses during the season, all the streaks. … There’s just a lot of parity in a lot of different areas,” Borseth said. “It seems like a lot of strange things have happened during the year.” Ohio From Page 6 left, at Iowa. “It’s very tough. Every close loss is tough,” Crawford said. “We’re a resilient bunch We’ll be ready to go Saturday.” Ohio State had beaten the Wildcats 8754 in the league opener in late December, but this one was certainly more competitive just not on the boards. The Buckeyes led 73-65 with about 3 minutes left before Northwestern rallied as Dave Sobolweski hit a 3-pointer and Reggie Cobb made two free throws. Cobb later came up with a steal and called a timeout, setting up Marcotullio’s gametying 3-pointer. The Buckeyes hit their first six field goal attempts and dominated the rebounding 22-5 in the first half with Sullinger and Thomas controlling the inside. Sullinger had 13 points and eight re- bounds and Thomas had 12 points and five rebounds as Ohio State shot 59 percent from the field. The Wildcats, who play three guards and two forwards, had no one to match up with the Buckeyes’ inside duo. Ohio State led 39-29 at halftime. Tornadoes From Page 6 Trimble was able to force the Tornadoes into five turnovers in the fourth period while outscoring 1412. Southern defeated THS 59-31 to improve to 18-3 on the year. The Tornadoes’ scoring was led by Andrew Roesberry with 15 points on the evening, followed by Ethan Martin with 13, and Ryan Taylor with 10. Marcus Hill scored six, Tristen Wolfe, Chandler Drummer, and Casey Pickens each had four points, and Nathan Roberts finished with three points to round out the SHS scoring. Cyrus Jones led THS with seven points, followed by four Tomcats with four points each. This is the fifth straight sectional title for SHS but Coach Caldwell insists they aren’t done, “When you’ve got a senior group like we do I know they have expectations to do some more.” Southern returns to action Tuesday night at the Convocation Center on the campus of Ohio University, where they will meet a familiar face, Manchester who has ended the Tornadoes season each of the last two years. Tip off is sched- uled for 6:15 and Coach Caldwell would like to see his team do better in one part of the game, “Hopefully we’ll find a little bit better offense at the Convo.” Southern 59, Trimble 31 S 16-17-14-12 —59 T 6-4-7-14 — 31 SOUTHERN (18-3): Tristen Wolfe 1 2-3 4, Ethan Martin 5 1-2 13, Andrew Roseberry 5 3-5 15, Andrew Ginther 0 0-0 0, Ryan Tay- Miscellaneous lor 4 0-0 10, Trenton Deem 0 0-0 0, Nathan Roberts 1 1-6 3, Adam Pape 0 0-0 0, Dustin Custer 0 0-0 0, Marcus Hill 2 2-4 6, Casey Pickens 2 0-0 4, Chandler Drummer 1 2-4 4.

You also will have a tendency to romanticize situations. Test reality by brainstorming with family and/or friends. Confusion could surround communication, as your mind often will drift. You pull the wild card financially. You can expect swift changes either way. If you are single, be aware of how much you are projecting your dreams and desires onto a new person. If you are attached, the two of you are likely to go on a second honeymoon. A new addition to the household also is likely. CANCER is as emotional as you are. 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 You are more on top of your work than you realize. The immense amount of work you have already cleared out allows you to head home early. Nearly everywhere you go, you might encounter the unexpected. Tonight: Be spontaneous. Invite everyone over to your house. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHHH Sometimes you underestimate how much you have to offer. Though a misunderstanding could arise from out of nowhere, stop and be aware of how much you care about people. Lady luck comes through regarding your ability to unravel a communication knot. Tonight: Say “yes” to the right invitation. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHHH You could feel as if you are out of control in the morning. You bounce from one item to another. Someone you counted on could disappoint you and create a last-minute flurry. Understand what you can and cannot do. Tonight: Join friends. CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHH The unexpected occurs with a parent or higher-up. Know that you can handle it, no matter what occurs. Do not make a big deal of what goes on, as another party could become embarrassed later on. Be as gracious as possible. Tonight: Expect to be popular. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHH Play it low-key. Some of you might decide to cancel appointments or call it an early weekend. People will notice, but you simply might need some quiet time to get your work done or handle a personal matter. You gain a new perspective on an old problem. Tonight: Put out your unavailable sign. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHHH Consider alternatives in a meeting to resolve a problem concerning an associate. In fact, the issue could evolve in a meeting. Allow more brainstorming. You cannot always be so controlling! Make sure you are on budget. Tonight: Where people are. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHH You could be off and tense about an appearance in the near future. You want to assume the lead, but complications in your dealings worry you. Relax and work with the unpredictable. Know that success can be yours. Tonight: Could go to the wee hours. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHHHH You might want to try another approach. Finish up some research, and realize when you cannot go any further. An element of the unexpected punctuates your plans. Be ready to regroup and rebuild. Opt for a new path. Tonight: Distance yourself from the day. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHHH You might want to switch gears, partially because it is Friday, but also because a partner needs your time. Realize that you might disappoint others by not following your normal routine. A very fun but shocking happening occurs with a loved one or friend. Tonight: Dinner for two. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHH What you thought you would do yesterday is far different from what you will choose today. Somehow, someone close to you can’t seem to understand why you cannot be with him or her more. As a result, you could witness some acting out. Tonight: Defer to a partner or loved one. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHH You could be left holding the bag when dealing with others. It seems that someone wants much more than you want to give. Do not be surprised when he or she acts out. Focus on getting what you need to get done. Tonight: Off to the gym, then home. Clear your mind. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHHHH Others admire your intrinsically caring manner and enormous creativity. How you see a situation could change radically because of a sudden financial change. Verify what is happening first. Tonight: Be with your favorite person.

(AP) — NASCAR issued steep penalties against five-time NASCAR champion Jimmie Johnson and his team for failing the first inspection for the Daytona 500. Crew chief Chad Knaus was fined $100,000 and suspended six races Wednesday, car chief Ron Malec also was barred for six races, and Johnson was docked 25 points, sending him into this weekend’s race last in the Sprint Cup Series standings. The penalties stem from a failed inspection Feb. 17 at Daytona International Speedway. NASCAR said the No. 48 Chevrolet had illegally modified sheet metal between the roof and the side windows, an area known as the C-posts. Hendrick Motorsports immediately said it would appeal, and Knaus and Malec can attend races during the process. “Our organization re- spects NASCAR and the way the sanctioning body governs our sport,” team owner Rick Hendrick said. “In this case, though, the system broke down, and we will voice our concerns through the appeal process.” Should the penalties stand, Johnson finds himself in a huge hole at the start of the season. He was wrecked just two laps into Monday night’s Daytona 500, and his 42nd-place finish put him 42nd in the standings with two points. The penalty drops him to 43rd in the field, with minus 23 points. He’s now trailing Daytona 500 winner Matt Kenseth by 70 points, and is 58 points outside the top 10. It comes after Johnson’s worst season in NASCAR: his streak of five consecutive championships was snapped last year, and he finished a career-worst sixth in the standings. He also won only one race. Knaus, meanwhile, has run afoul of NASCAR before. He’s been suspended four previous times, but had a two-race ban in 2005 overturned in the appeals process. His last suspension was for six weeks in 2007 when NASCAR said he had flared out the front bumpers of Johnson’s car at Sonoma. His first suspension was in 2001, as crew chief for Stacy Compton, because NASCAR said he had unapproved shoulder harnesses in the car. Knaus teamed with Johnson at Hendrick Motorsports at the end of that season, and the two have gone on to 54 victories and five championships. Johnson has a 55th victory, the 2006 Daytona 500, which was won while Knaus was serving a suspension. Darian Grubb filled for that race. KENT, Ohio (AP) — Randal Holt scored 20 points and Kent Sate secured a bye in the upcoming Mid-American Conference tournament with a 68-61 win over Ohio on Wednesday night. Justin Green added 16 points and Chris Evans had 12 for the Golden Flashes (20-9, 10-5), who snapped a three-game losing streak. Kent State joins Kansas, Creighton and Gonzaga as the only programs in the Division I to win at least 10 conference games in 14 straight seasons. The Golden Flashes, who avenged an early season 22-point loss to Ohio, improved to 6-0 in home con- ference games. Kent State went on a 15-1 run midway through the first half to lead 3017 with 6:36 left until halftime. A 3-pointer by Ohio’s Nick Kellogg closed the gap to 59-56, but Kent State made 9 of 12 free throws in the final 1:18 to seal the win.
