According to a report from Nancy Broderick, R.N., the director, the agency did 2,031 skin tests last year, with chest x-ray followups on 82 patients, referred three patients for medication, and held 23 outside clinics at various places in the county as a part of detecting new or re- current tuberculosis cases. Broderick reported that while there were no new active cases of tuberculosis, there were seven people considered positive for latent tuberculosis, three of which were treated under the care of their private physician. “The tuberculosis control program for Meigs County is to protect the residents of the county from tuberculosis,” said Broderick. “The public health function includes disease surveillance, case finding, epidemical analysis and contact tracing.” She also noted that tuberculosis tests are required by many employers and provide a screening tool to determine if someone has been exposed to the bacteria at some point in their life.” Services of the clinic are paid for with monies generated from 1/2 mill levy and are available to those who live or work in the county. The levy funding provides for the testing, chest x-rays as needed, medications for infection or disease, and lab tests for those on medications. The clinic has an office on Charlene Hoeflich/photo the main floor of the Meigs Multipurpose Building on Board of Director members for the Meigs County Tuberculosis Association are from the left, seatMulberry Heights in Pome- ed, Leanne Cunningham, secretary; Kathy Cumings, president, and Kathy White, vice president; roy and is open from 8 a.m. and standing, Alice Wolfe, Mary Price, Jane Walton, Barbara Lawrence, Cindy Eblin, April Burke, and Melanie Weese.

Council views plans for upcoming business development By Sarah Hawley shawley@heartlandpublications. com RACINE — During Monday’s meeting, Racine Village Council members got their first look at the strip mall planned for construction this spring. Mayor Scott Hill presented council with the plan for the proposed 8,500 square foot building. The design of the building is set up to house approximately six tenants, with three spots already spoken for according to Hill. According to Hill, the building will likely house Subway, Napa Auto Parts, and the Southern Local Schools administrative offices. The building will be located behind the current Dollar General store and Home National Bank. There will also be room for another similar building to possible be constructed in the future. Hill estimated that construction could begin in two months, with land transfers and bank financing still pending. In other business, Hill updated council on problems with the lights in Sarah Hawley/photo Members of the Racine Village Council (from left) George Cummins, Tim Hill and Ernest Spencer view the layout of the strip mall to be constructed in the village. the park. Currently, there are five lights not working. Hill stated that he has talked with ODOT and the company who installed the lights since they should be covered under a warranty. They are currently working to determine the cause of the problem. Council approved $275 for removal of stumps in the park. The purchase of two police vests at a cost of approximately $800 each was approved. Council discussed the demolitions and sidewalk project which is funded through the Neighborhood Revitalization Grant. It was estimated that the village should have $50,000 for the sidewalk project. Hill asked members of council to look around the village for areas of sidewalk requiring repair or replacement. The village received word form the Ohio Department of Taxation stating that two properties owned by the village were to be considered See DEVELOPMENT |‌ A3 ments, gifts, and throws. The flower designing is done by daughter, T J Deer, and Bev Moore. They can be contacted at 949-2885.

U.S. 35 upgrades begin next week $10.8 million project to be completed this fall Beth Sergent bsergent@heartlandpublications.com SOUTHSIDE — The much needed, much anticipated upgrades to the existing U.S. 35 though Southern Mason County into Putnam County will begin on March 13 and are expected to be completed Nov. 1. Motorists traveling through the area will likely experience delays as the various phases of construction get under way, though to minimize delays the West Virginia Division of Highways announced the majority of the work will be done in the evenings from 6 p.m. to 6 a.m. Brent Walker, spokesperson with DOH, said traffic will likely be slow moving through the area as work progresses, but he doesn’t anticipate lane closures at this time, at least for the upcoming work which will mostly be taking place off to the side of the existing road. He did caution there is always the possibility traffic could be stopped or a lane closed for a brief period of time when moving large equipment to complete the work. Walker said obviously there will be reduced speeds in the work zones, but again these work zones will be happening at night from 6 p.m. - 6 a.m. Walker said motorists will see the upgrades happen in phases. The first phase, which begins in the evening on March 13, begins at Beech Hill in Mason County and will extend 11 miles to Plantation Road in Putnam County. This first phase will include the installation of culverts which will be of appropriate size to handle the eventual widening of the existing two-lane road. This culvert work is expected to take around two months to complete. The subsequent phases include stabilization work, including installation of piling along certain sections of this 11-mile stretch which are prone to slides; fill work in order to widen the road; and finally paving of the new surface. Walker said West Virginia Paving of Dunbar is the primary contractor for this job which is estimated to cost $10.8 million. All work is to be done within the DOH’s existing rightof-way. The remaining few miles of upgrades, which will include the section of road from Plantation Road to the Buffalo Bridge, will cost $7 million and a bid by Alan Stone Company of Cutler, Ohio, has already been accepted for this project, though no start date See UPGRADES ‌| A3 �Friday, March 9, 2012 The Daily Sentinel • Page A2 www.mydailysentinel.com Meigs County Local Briefs Tree and bush trimming clinic MARIETTA — On March 31 at Lanes Farm and Market west of Marietta, a tree and bush trimming clinic will be held by educators of the OSU Extension Service.

Ask Dr. Brothers Husband’s phobia is wrecking marriage Dear Dr. Brothers: I knew my husband was afraid of flying when I married him, but I never thought it would bother me so much. We struggled through our first few years financially, so it wasn’t even an issue. Now that we can afford to take nice vacations and go visit distant family, he refuses to even think about getting over his phobia. I find myself very angry and losing respect for him, and maybe even some of the love I used to feel. How can he be so selfish and weak? — N.B. Dear N.B.: If you truly think of your husband as selfish and weak, it would seem that the problem in your marriage has gone a lot farther than just the annoyance of having a spouse who won’t be up for vacationing in the Caribbean. You may not be responding to his problem in a way that does anything but make him dig his heels in and be more selfish and weaker. So you need to think about how you’ve been communicating your disappointment — is it with name-calling or other angry attempts to get back at him for standing in the way of your vacation fantasies? If so, you have seen how successful that strategy has been. I know it’s hard, but you might try approaching your husband with a sympathetic attitude toward his debilitating fear. The truth is, the only way he can possibly let this go is to deliberately work on the problem — there are a number of effective approaches he can research — but he has to do it in his own way and on his own Dr. Joyce Brothers Syndicated Columnist timetable. No one else can motivate him if he doesn’t really care whether he ever gets to Martinique. Let him know that you understand how difficult it is for him, and explain that you just want to be with him and explore new horizons together. If your attitude improves, I bet his won’t be far behind. *** Dear Dr. Brothers: I am in college and am totally confused by the dating scene here. Back home in my little suburb, we all hung out in groups, or else we were couples. I thought that was normal. But here at this place, there seem to be a lot of different levels of hookups, and hardly anyone dates the way I was used to back home. Should I try to buy into all this, or keep looking for someone normal who wants to date me, or just give up and sit in the dorm? I feel so out of step. — G.A. Dear G.A.: Don’t worry, you will get used to the new social scene as you go through your college years. It doesn’t mean that you have to buy into the system — it may just take a while to find your niche among the students who are also used to a more simple and traditional way of dating, casually and otherwise. In the meantime, be assured that the most recent trends in the dating scene among college students are confusing to many people both on and off campus. While the hook-up, a casual form of uncommitted sex, has taken center stage, it was perhaps inevitable that it would take on a life of its own, with several variations on the theme. It’s so interesting that some researchers have made it an academic study to find out who is doing what with whom, and what they are calling it. Researchers at the University of Ottawa have outlined several different forms of what can loosely be termed “dating,” including the “booty call,” the “friends with benefits” and the good old “one-night stand.” Add to those the “sex buddy” (substituting a word that isn’t used in polite company), and you have a confusing array of slightly different arrangements for Friday night and Saturday morning. What an interesting time to be in college. Stay true to your own ideals, and be assured that there is nothing wrong with you!

New exotic animals rules to be introduced in Ohio COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — An Ohio lawmaker plans Thursday to introduce a proposal to ban new ownership of exotic animals in the state, months after authorities shot dozens of lions, tigers, bears and other wild creatures let loose by their suicidal owner. A Republican state senator from Zanesville, the eastern Ohio city where the animals were shot, has helped write the legislation. State Sen. Troy Balderson’s office says the measure would immediately prohibit people from acquiring new or additional dangerous wildlife. Owners of lions, tigers and other large animals such as elephants and crocodiles would be banned in 2014 from keeping the creatures unless they acquired a wildlife shelter permit. They would have to meet new caging requirements, obtain insurance, microchip the animals and adhere to strict care standards. Owners also would have to register their animals within 60 days of the law’s effective date. Zoos, circuses, sanctuaries and research facilities would be exempt. Ohio has some of the nation’s weakest restrictions on exotic pets. Efforts to strengthen the state’s law took on new urgency in October when authorities were forced to hunt down and kill 48 wild animals including endangered Bengal tigers after their owner freed them from his Zanesville farm and then committed suicide. Celebrity zookeeper Jack Hanna has criticized state lawmakers for not yet passing new regulations. “What’s it going to take, everyone, to pass a bill? Someone else getting killed?” Hanna told an Ohio The Daily Sentinel • Page A3 www.mydailysentinel.com newspaper trade group last month. In August 2010, a bear attacked and killed a caretaker during a feeding at the home of a man who also kept wolves and tigers on property near Cleveland. A hearing on Balderson’s legislation is planned for Tuesday. The bill would let owners of constricting and venomous snakes keep their reptiles, but they must have safety plans in place in case the snakes got out. Owners could still breed and acquire new snakes. The proposal is less strict than a framework suggested last year by a state study committee that Gov. John Kasich convened in April. The group had recommended a more stringent ban on the casual ownership of exotic animals. Those who still owned restricted wildlife such as bears, monkeys and others in 2014 without proper licenses or exemptions would have the animals taken away by state or local officials. Kasich spokesman Rob Nichols said Thursday the Kasich administration had reached an agreement with the Senate, and the governor is comfortable with it. He said in an email the new standards couldn’t be met by casual owners of exotic wildlife, a group he said is more inclined to have problems with the dangerous animals. “It’s admittedly not everything we sought or that the working group recommended, but it’s most of it and such a huge improvement from where Ohio has been that the governor is comfortable moving forward,” Nichols said. Kasich had supported the working group’s recommendations, which had called for a tougher ban. Biggest solar storm in years hits, so far so good WASHINGTON (AP) — One of the strongest solar storms in years engulfed Earth early Thursday, but scientists say the planet may have lucked out. Hours after the storm arrived, officials said were no reports of problems with power grids, GPS, satellites or other technologies that are often disrupted by solar storms. But that still can change as the storm shakes the planet’s magnetic field in ways that could disrupt technology but also spread colorful Northern Lights. Early indications show that it is about 10 times stronger than the normal solar wind that hits Earth. The storm started with a massive solar flare Tuesday evening and grew as it raced outward from the sun, expanding like a giant soap bubble, scientists said. The charged particles were expected to hit at 4 million mph. The storm struck about 6 a.m. EST in a direction that causes the least amount of problems, said Joe Kunches, a scientist at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s Space Weather Prediction Center. “It’s not a terribly strong event. It’s a very interesting event,” he said. Forecasters can predict the speed a solar storm travels and its strength, but the north-south orientation is the wild card. And this time, Earth got dealt a good card with a northern orientation, which is “pretty benign,” Kunches said. If it had been southern, that would have caused the most damaging technological disruption and biggest auroras. “We’re not out of the woods,” Kunches said Thursday morning. “It was a good start. If I’m a power grid, I’m really happy so far.” But that storm orientation can and is changing, he said. “It could flip-flop and we could end up with the strength of the storm still to come,” Kunches said from the NOAA forecast center in Boulder, Colo. North American utilities so far have not reported any problems, said Kimberly Mielcarek, spokeswoman for the North American Electric Reliability Corporation, a consortium of electricity grid operators A massive cloud of charged particles can disrupt utility grids, airline flights, satellite networks and GPS services, especially in northern areas. But the same blast can also paint colorful auroras farther from the poles than normal. Astronomers say the sun has been relatively quiet for some time. And this storm, while strong, may seem fiercer because Earth has been lulled by several years of weak solar activity. The storm is part of the sun’s normal 11-year cycle, which is supposed to reach a peak next year. Solar storms don’t harm people, but they do disrupt technology. And during the last peak around 2002, experts learned that GPS was vulnerable to solar outbursts. Because new technology has flourished since then, scientists could discover that some new systems are also at risk, said Jeffrey Hughes, director of the Center for Integrated Space Weather Modeling at Boston University. The region of the sun that erupted can still send more blasts our way, Kunches said. Another set of active sunspots is ready to aim at Earth. “This is a big sun spot group, particularly nasty,” NASA solar physicist David Hathaway said. “Things are really twisted up and mixed up. It keeps flaring.” Storms like this start with sun spots, Hathaway said. Then comes an initial solar flare of subatomic particles that resemble a filament coming out of the sun. That part from this storm hit Earth only minutes after the initial burst, bringing radio and radiation disturbances. After that comes the coronal mass ejection, which looks like a growing bubble and takes a couple days to reach Earth. For North America, the good part of a solar storm the one that creates more noticeable auroras or Northern Lights peaks Thursday evening. Auroras could dip as far south as the Great Lakes states or lower, Kunches said, but a full moon will make them harder to see. Still, the potential for problems is widespread. Solar storms have three ways they can disrupt technology on Earth: with magnetic, radio and radiation emissions. This is an unusual situation, when all three types of solar storm disruptions are likely to be strong, Kunches said. In 1989, a strong solar storm knocked out the power grid in Quebec, causing 6 million people to lose power.

Iran’s top leader welcomes Obama’s remarks TEHRAN, Iran (AP) — Iran’s top leader Thursday welcomed comments by President Barack Obama advocating diplomacy and not war as a solution to Tehran’s nuclear ambitions, a rare positive signal in long-standing hostile transactions between Tehran and Washington. The report on Iran’s state television quoted Ayatollah Ali Khamenei as praising a recent statement by the U.S. president saying he saw a “window of opportunity” to use diplomacy to resolve the nuclear dispute. Khamenei, who has final say on all state matters in Iran, told a group of clerics: “This expression is a good word. This is a wise remark indicating taking distance from illusion.” It is one of the rare cases in which Iran’s top leader praised an American leader. Washington and Tehran have had no diplomatic relations since the 1979 takeover of the U.S. Embassy in Tehran by Iranian students who took American diplomats hostage. Both the U.S. and Israel fear Iran’s nuclear program is aimed at building a nuclear weapon, while Iran says its nuclear activities are geared toward peaceful purposes such as power generation. But the U.S. and Israel have dif- fered over how to deal with the nuclear problem. Israel has said military action should be considered to stop the Iranians. President Barack Obama told visiting Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu earlier this week that diplomacy must be given more time. On Tuesday, the American president said diplomacy can still resolve the nuclear crisis and accused his Republican critics of “beating the drums of war.” Obama added that the Iranians need to show how serious they are about resolving the crisis. He said there are steps the Iranians can take “that are verifiable” and will allow the country to be “in compliance with international norms and mandates.” But Khamenei had criticism for Obama as well. The Iranian leader said the economic sanctions pushed by the U.S. and other nations as a way to get Iran to alter its nuclear program would fail. He said the U.S. president has continued a policy of wanting the Iranian nation to “…bow through imposing sanctions.” Khamenei said resorting to the sanctions was a sign of misunderstanding and an unrealistic approach by the U.S. toward the Iranian nation.

If you already don’t sense where this is headed, I’ll fill you in: the actor being interviewed was Kirk Cameron, and he is very up-front about his faith. The one conducting the interview was Piers Morgan, who asked Mr. Cameron about his views on marriage. For the record, Cameron’s position on the subject is straight out of the Bible—i.e., that God instituted marriage as a sacred covenant exclusively enjoining together one man and one woman. (As you have heard it said—Adam and Eve, not “Adam and Steve!”) This interpretation is accepted as being “spiritually correct.” Mr. Morgan disagrees; his opinion is that there is neither anything wrong with be- ing gay or with gay marriage, This week you might have per se. In fact, he’s on record gone to the polls, to cast your as saying that should a child vote for the candidate you esof his admit to being homoteem as the one to best serve sexual, his only concern is that your political interests.

The point is we, too, have to decide obedience to His Word. The hymn, “Trust whose side we’re on—who, or what, really and Obey” succinctly underscores my point. matters most to us. Of course, just as it is relatively easy to play fast and loose with certain societal norms and precepts—as do people who routinely interpret STOP signs to mean “slow-and-go”—many are those who regularly dismiss, dispute, and altogether deny the relevance of The Holy Bible. For people such as these, The Ten Commandments become “ten choices,” from which to pick-and-choose what to read and heed. If that which is popular isn’t necessarily “right” or spiritually correct, the issue then becomes … says who?!? We are living at a time when the relevance of The Bible and of Almighty God, both, are regularly challenged. Accordingly, one’s popularity is virtually assured when one champions a position contrary to what orthodox Christianity embraces and endorses. Let the reader be reminded the Almighty cares not one iota about our personal opinions; if anything, He’d most likely tell us we’re too opinionated for our own good! Another thing: those who appeal to our Constitution to validate their enjoyment of any one right, however valid they imagine their cause to be—God will yet prevail. The Constitution cannot, and does not, supersede the Word of God. Some things never change; His Word is one! There is a serious problem with being a repeat offender Jeremiah 2:20, “For of old time I have broken thy yoke, and burst thy bands; and you have said, I will not transgress…” We all know that the sins we commit have particular consequences, here described by God through Jeremiah as “yokes” and “bands.” These are hindrances, or burdens, or heartaches about which we so often call out on the Lord for deliverance. The adjunct promise we make then becomes, “I will not transgress. I will not do it anymore. I will not fail you again on this matter, Lord.” Because of His abiding love, mercy, and grace, the Lord in His way and in His time “breaks the yokes” from off of us, and “bursts the bands” that bind us. The unfortunate disappointment is that we all too often break the promise we have made only to commit time and again that which we told the Lord we would not do if He would help us. This is a dangerous spiritual game we play. Three things we need to take in consideration. First, we should not delude ourselves in The world wrestles with its understanding of why Christians feel compelled to do the good deeds that they do. It is the assumption of some, for example, that Christians “do good” and “shun evil” in order to attain some sort of moral or spiritual sense of superiority over others. And there are some who suppose that an “agenda of good deeds” is the Christian way of securing for themselves power, position, and wealth. Sadly, I cannot say that there are no wolves masquerading as sheep out there in “Christendom”. Nor can I deny that there are those who claim to be Christian, yet wear it as a badge or label simply because it is expedient for their personal ambitions (political, social, material, etc.). But setting aside such spiritual thuggery, the world might “condescend” to acknowledge that perhaps some Christians mean well (even if it is merely out of naivety or superstition). But even if it does so, it tends to be under the impression that sincere Believes do their good deeds to either earn God’s forgiveness and thereby escape hell, or to earn God’s favor and, consequently, reap blessings (material, physical, relational, and so on). In regard to the first misconception, that good deeds are done to earn a salvation from everlasting torment, I have found myself perturbed every time that I have watched the movie “The African Queen” with Katherine Hepburn and Humphrey Bogart. In it, Hepburn’s character, “Rosie”, is a missionary to Africa. As conflict grows with imperial Germans during World War I, Rosie believes that she and “Charlie” (Bogart’s character) are about to die, leaving this world for their eternal destiny. The prayer is interesting because it reveals what thinking that God is not paywe should have a holy hatred coning attention. As with Israel, cerning it. God hates sin to the the cycles of rebellion and point that — this aside from His repentance were definitely holiness and righteousness — He noted by God, for in this verse does not commit sin Himself. we read God’s rebuke. Though This also is a dangerous game God is very gracious toward because one sin particularly liked us, at some point or another serves to open us up to other sins and in one way or another He to be liked, which only sharpens will call us to account for our the downward spiritual spiral own cycles of rebellion and rein our lives. If we truly want to pentance. The reason this is a stop sinful cycles, we need to ask dangerous game is because sin God’s help in having holy hatred not truly repented of always for sin. costs us something. A third consideration turns out Second, we should consider to be equally disturbing, and it is Ron Branch seriously changing our attirevealed in point-specific manner Pastor tude about the sins we repetiin the previous verse to this text tively commit, because sins (2:19), “…my fear is not in you, repeated are usually sinful acts from which says the Lord God of hosts.” Our cycles of we gain moments and seasons of fleshly, rebellion and repentance prove that we do carnal pleasure. If there is sin we like and not have very much respect of God at heart. repetitively commit it, we prove ourselves If we are God’s people, He will gain respect to be very spiritually immature.

It fore “positioned” best to be blessed. However, suffering and deprivation do seems to me that a couple of millennia that He has the authority to exact respect from us. But, does He not deserve in automatic fashion our fear, respect, and honor? We should fear God enough to know how disappointing it is for us to disregard Him. After all, if we were truly in awe of God and truly respected God, we certainly would not be a repeat transgressor. God, forgive us of our vileness. A little kid in a community where I once lived was known for liking to play in mud. It drove his mother nuts because of the continual cleaning involved. But, if he could find some mud, he was going to play in it, regardless of his mother’s fussing and disciplining. One day, however, it became known how the kid had suddenly quit playing in mud. Someone asked him why. He replied, “I decided to taste some, and it didn’t taste good.” It was a simple as that. It makes for a powerful consideration, for if we could truly taste the bitterness of sin like Christ did on our behalf. should more than suffice in convincing us that the real wonder of the Christian experience is not the blessings of God showering down upon us, but rather the Blesser Himself Who has on His heart the priority of real and vital relationship with each of us. And consider the life that merely loves God for what He does for us. As long as one loves God merely for what He does, he will always be enslaved to a “religion of doing”. He’ll continuously strive to live out a formula that prompts God into giving him what he wants, when he wants it. Such a formula kind of faith is incapable of producing for him the lasting fulfillment that God intends for His children since God intends for Himself to be the answer to the heart’s greatest cravings, namely love, forgiveness, and the security of acceptance that we are generously granted through the sacrifice of Jesus, the Son of God. Happily, as God works in you and me to help us to love Him for Who He truly is, we will learn that our righteousness flows from what He is inside of us. In the end, it is only His life spent for us, His life within us, and His life giving birth through us to kindness, sacrifice, joy, and a living message of hope that brings about a practical application of true goodness in our lives and in the physical world around us.

Search the Scriptures The 2.24.12 and 3.2.12 columns examined 5 New Testament examples of persons who were devout, sincere, and zealous, but wrong: The Jews who gathered in Jerusalem for the first Pentecost after Jesus’ resurrection [Acts 2:1-47]; The Ethiopian treasurer [Acts 8:26-39]; Saul [Acts 9:1-20; 22:116; 26:9-20]; Cornelius [chapters 10 and 11 of Acts]; and Lydia [Acts 16:9-15]. The series on examples of conversion in Acts ends today, as we look at the residents of Samaria [Acts 8:4-25] and the jailor at Philippi [Acts 8:25-34]. There is no evidence the people of the city of Samaria were followers of God. There was a man among them, Simon, a sorcerer to whom the people gave heed [vs. 9-11]. Philip, one of the 7 chosen to serve the needs of the Christians in Jerusalem [Acts 6:1-6], went to Samaria and “preached Christ unto them” [8:5]. Because the apostles had laid their hands on him [Acts 6:6], Philip could perform miracles [vs.6,7]. This caused the Samaritans, including Simon, to give heed [vs.6,13], and when Philip preached “the things concerning the kingdom of God, and the name of Jesus Christ, they were baptized, both men and women” [v.12]; Simon was one of those who believed and was baptized [v.13]. Because the topic of receiving the Holy Spirit is of interest to many religious people today, it is important to look at the path by which one could receive the miraculous measure of the Holy Spirit. Remember that the apostles had laid their hands on Philip [Acts 6:7], and he was enabled to perform miracles. We see that the Samaritan Christians did not receive the miraculous measure of the Spirit until Peter and John [both apostles] came down from Jerusalem, “prayed for them, that they might receive the Holy Ghost: then laid they their hands on them, and they received the Holy Ghost” [8:14-17]. Remember, also, there were only 12 apostles. When Matthias was chosen to replace Judas Iscariot, we learn the criteria which one had to meet in order to be considered for the apostleship [Acts 1:21-26]. In light of the information recorded for us in the New Testament, it is not possible for any person today to be an apostle. Therefore, neither is it possible for a person today to receive the miraculous measure of the Spirit, for there is not an apostle to lay hands on anyone. All doubt about how the miraculous measure of the Spirit was given in New Testament times, is removed as we look at Simon: “And when Simon saw that through the laying on of the apostles’ hands the Holy Ghost was given, he offered them money, saying, Give me also this power, that on whomsoever I lay hands, he may receive the Holy Ghost” [8:18,19]. Religious teachers who want to say “once saved, always saved,” and that one cannot fall from God’s grace, point to Simon with the accusation: He wasn’t really converted. There is no word in the passage that casts doubt on Simon’s conversion; we read “…he continued with Philip, and wondered, beholding the miracles and signs which were done” [v.13]. His former life as a sorcerer colored his judgment, when he saw the possibilities having the power to give the Holy Spirit would mean. Peter called attention to Simon’s sin, telling him: “Thy money perish with thee, because thou hast thought that the gift of God may be purchased with money. Thou hast neither part nor lot in the matter: for thy heart is not right in the sight of God. Repent therefore of this thy wickedness, and pray God, if perhaps the thought of thine heart may be forgiven thee” [vs.20-22]. Bible students understand baptism washes away one’s sins [Acts 22:16], and since Peter did not tell Simon to be baptized again, it is clear Simon’s sins had been washed away at his baptism, and he was a saved person, a Christian; there was no need for him to be baptized again. We learn here that repentance and prayer is God’s plan for the forgiveness of sins a Christian commits after baptism. �A5 A5 Friday, March 9, 2012 Friday, March 2, 2012 Friday, February 24, 2012 The Daily Sentinel • Page A5 The Daily Sentinel • Page 5 The Daily Sentinel • Page 5 www.mydailysentinel.com www.mydailysentinel.com www.mydailysentinel.com WORSHIP GOD THIS WEEK Please email changes to mdtnews@mydailytribune.com Fellowship Apostolic Fellowship Apostolic Church of Jesus Apostolic Church of Christ Jesus Christ Apostolic Van Zandt andand Ward Road.Road.

Truthfully people of all ages could benefit from medical alarms, senior; those living with a disability or those with significant medical condition could all be a great candidate for such a device. So how do you know if a medical alert system is right for you or someone you love? First consider the purposes of medical alarms: * To provide 24 hour monitoring. * To call for help in the event of a medical emergency. * To keep track of a person. Some systems are built with GPS, which can be wonderful for someone in early stages of Alzheimer’s. * To remind you to take your medication. * To call emergency services in the event a detector or sensor such as fire, carbon monoxide poisoning, temperature or security alarm is triggered. * To call family members. Next, answer the following questions to see if medical • Installing motion-sensor lights on walkways or driveways can potentially deter a thief. • Many home security kits are available in a “do it yourself” complete package, allowing you to customize sirens, entry points and more. • If installing an entire security system seems too much, something simple like a keyless entry system provides peace of mind and easy installation. A garage door keyless entry using fingerprint identity ensures that only the right people gain access to your home. Weather the storm Protecting your home from inclement weather is an essential part of ensuring your family’s safety. • The first step is having a family discussion about safe rooms in the house and a plan in case of dangerous weather. • According to FEMA, a weather radio with NOAA technology allows as much as eight minutes lead time before public alarms sound to move family and pets to a safe room or secure location. • Make sure you have a weather safety kit that contains a flashlight, portable power for your electronics, an emergency radio, walkie talkies, bottled water and dry goods. Let each child choose one or two items to put in the weather prep toolkit, such as a toy, game or personal item to help keep them occupied and calm in the case you have to take shelter for a long period of time. Additional alkaline batteries are always good to have on hand in case of emergency. (Family Features) Tips on how to share the road safely lanes or turning at intersections. 4. Because of its small size a motorcycle may seem to be moving faster than it really is. Don’t assume all motorcyclists are speed demons. 5. Motorcyclists often slow by downshifting or merely rolling off the throttle, thus not activating the brake light. Allow more following distance, say 3 or 4 seconds. At intersections, predict a motorcyclist may slow down without visual warning. 6. Turn signals on a motorcycle usually are not selfcanceling, thus some riders, (especially beginners) sometimes forget to turn them off after a turn or lane change. Make sure a motorcycle’s signal is for real. 7. Motorcyclists often adjust position within a lane to be seen more easily and to minimize the effects of road debris, passing vehicles, and wind. Understand that motorcyclists adjust lane position for a purpose, not to be reckless or show off or to allow you to share the lane with them. 8. Maneuverability is one of a motorcycle’s better characteristics, especially at slower speeds and with good road conditions, but don’t expect a motorcyclist to always be able to dodge out of the way. 9. Stopping distance for motorcycles is nearly the same as for cars, but slippery pavement makes stopping quickly difficult. Allow more following distance behind a motorcycle because it can’t always stop “on a dime.” 10. When a motorcycle is in motion, don’t think of it as motorcycle; think of it as a person. Visit us online at www.mydailysentinel.com What is a poison? A poison is any product or substance that can harm someone if it is used in the wrong way, by the wrong person, or in the wrong amount. Potentially poisonous items could include some household products, chemicals at work or in the environment, drugs (prescription, over-the-counter, herbal, illegal or animal medicines), snake bites, spider bites, and scorpion stings. Poisons can enter the body through the eyes/ears, on or through the skin, by breathing them, or by swallowing something you shouldn’t. What should I do if I think someone’s been poisoned? • Follow the first aid instructions if you can. Then call your poison center right away! • The poison center experts will tell you exactly what to do. They will frequently follow-up with you by phone to be sure that everything is all right. • DO NOT wait to call! If you call right away, the problem can often be taken care of over the phone. Don’t wait for symptoms! How can I be prepared for a poison emergency? • Call your poison center at 1-800-222-1222. The poison center can send you telephone stickers or magnets with the emergency phone number. Post that number on or near your telephones. • If you have a poisoning emergency call 1-800-222-1222. What are the most common poisons for children? • Cosmetics such as perfume or nail polish, and personal care products such as deodorant and soap. • Cleaning products (for example, laundry detergent and floor cleaners). • Pain medicines (analgesics) such as acetaminophen or ibuprofen. • Foreign bodies and toys including silica gel packages to remove moisture in packaging and glow products. • Topical preparations such as diaper rash products, hydrogen peroxide, acne preparations, or calamine lotion. What are the most common poisons for adults? • Pain medicines (analgesics) which can be over-the-counter, prescribed, or illegal. Examples include asprin, oxycodone, acetaminophen, methadone, and ibuprofin. • Sedatives (drugs to reduce anxiety), hypnotics (sleeping pills), and antipsychotics (drugs used to treat mental illness). • Household cleaning products Southern Local Schools Wellness Center Fees • If qualified, we can adjust fees based on family size and income. • Most insurances and HMOs accepted • Ohio Medicaid approved Walk in hours open to students, staff & community Junie Maynard, FNP-BC Mandy Clendenin, NCMA Dr. Aaron Karr alert systems are right for you: * Do you live alone or spend more than a several hours a day alone? * Do you have a serious medical condition such as diabetes, arthritis, chronic heart failure, etc? * Do you have physical challenges that require you to use a walker, wheelchair or cane? * Are you the kind of person who likes people checking up on you? * Are you the kind of person who will ask people for assistance? * Are you the kind of person who keeps a charged cell phone with you at all times? * Most importantly, are you willing to keep medical alarm on you and are you willing to use it when needed? If you answered ‘yes’ to questions 1,2 or 3, and ‘no’ to questions 4,5, and 6, you might benefit from having medical alert systems in your home. But medical alarms are only as good as the people who wear them, so if your answers to question number 7 were no, then you are not a good candidate. Before you totally support or dismiss whether a medical alert system is right for you or your loved one, consider these benefits: * It lets you live independently and your family and friends do not have to worry about you. * Many devices are waterproof so you can wear them in the shower. * When you wear the device it is in reach, essential for contacting assistance in case of medical or security emergency. * They ensure rapid responses in times of need and connect you with trained emergency personnel. * Personal information, such as allergies, medical conditions and unique needs, are kept on file and communicated to emergency professionals. Don’t wait for an emergency to occur before you decide it is time to invest in a medical alert system. Be prepared! And provide yourself or your loved ones with peace of mind that help available with the push of a button. Poison Control Center: Facts to know Ten things all drivers should know about motorcycles 1. There are a lot more cars and trucks than motorcycles on the road, and some drivers don’t “recognize” a motorcycle; they ignore it (usually unintentionally). Look for motorcycles, especially when checking traffic at an intersection. 2. Because of its small size, a motorcycle may look farther away than it is. It may also be difficult to judge a motorcycle’s speed. When checking traffic to turn at an intersection or into (or out of) a driveway, predict a motorcycle is closer than it looks. 3. Because of its small size, a motorcycle can be easily hidden in a car’s blind spots (door/roof pillars) or masked by objects or backgrounds outside a car (bushes, fences, bridges, etc). Take an extra moment to thoroughly check traffic, whether you’re changing • Pomeroy – 740-992-6411 • Portland – 740-992-3371 • Racine – 740-992-3371 • Rutland-Salem Township – 740-992-3371 • Syracuse – 740-992-3371 • Meigs County Sheriff – 740992-3371 • Gallia-Meigs Post of the State Highway Patrol – 740-9922397 Is a medical alert system right for you? Simple steps to home safety Keeping your home and family safe is a high priority. If home fires, break-ins or weather-related disasters have you worried, here are some simple steps you can take to make your home a safer place. Be forewarned Every home should have smoke detectors and carbon monoxide monitors, but they require some minor maintenance and don’t last forever. According to the U.S. Fire Administration (USFA), a working smoke alarm significantly increases your chances of surviving a home fire. • Make sure you have smoke alarms installed on every level of your home, including the basement. The USFA recommends installing them inside and outside of sleeping areas. • Replace your batteries regularly. While having a working smoke detector more than doubles your chance of survival, it’s estimated that one third of smoke alarms are not working, often due to worn out batteries. Many people use the time change each spring and fall as a reminder to change batteries. • Replace old smoke alarms. According to the Federal Emergency Management Administration (FEMA), smoke alarms should be replaced every 10 years. It is also recommended that homes have both ionization and photoelectric smoke alarms, or dual sensor smoke alarms which have both types of sensors. (Ionization alarms sound more quickly in a flaming, fast-moving fire. Photoelectric alarms are faster at sensing smoldering, smoky fires.) When the time comes to replace your detectors, consider a First Alert product. You can find affordable options with both types of sensors. Seeking security? Taking precautions to protect your home extend to home security, as well. According to the Bureau of Justice, many home burglaries occur simply by a thief walking through the front door. • Protect yourself and your family through the use of deadbolts on doors and locks on windows.

The most common poisons are not necessarily the most dangerous ones. Some of the more dangerous types of poisons that could be found in a home include: • Antifreeze and windshield washer products • Some medicines • Corrosive cleaners like drain openers, oven cleaners, toilet bowl cleaners and rust removers • Fuels such as kerosene, lamp oil, gasoline, and tiki-torch oil • Pesticides As well, teens and adults should be aware of the dangers of improperly used medications, inhalants, carbon monoxide, and alcohols. Why is your local poison center an important part of your community? Besides saving lives, poison centers are at least three times more cost effective than child safety seats, smoke detectors, or bicycle helmets. Poison centers are as cost effective as childhood immunizations. Every dollar spent on a poison center saves about $7 in unnecessary health care expenses. Poison centers eliminate unnecessary physician office visits, hospital admissions, lab testing and ambulance runs. A very substantial cost savings is realized for every case of long-term hemodialysis, neurologic impairment, or disability which is prevented. Why should I call the poison center? Poison experts are at the poison center 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year. Their help is free and confidential. Calling the poison center is faster and cheaper than calling an ambulance and going to the emergency room, and many poison exposures can be treated at home. If you have a poisoning emergency, call 1-800-222-1222. �The Daily Sentinel INSIDE Sports URG baseball blasts Salem, 14-1 FRIDAY MARCH 9, 2012 Coles retires B2 mdssports@heartlandpublications.com Randy Payton Special to OVP RIO GRANDE, Ohio – The University of Rio Grande baseball team coughed up an early lead, but roared back with 13 unanswered runs and cruised to a 14-1 rout of visiting Salem (W.Va.) International University, Wednesday afternoon, at Bob Evans Field. With the win, the RedStorm improved to 9-8 overall and moved over the .500 mark for the first time this season after an 0-6 start. The Tigers slipped to 2-12 with the loss. Thirteen of the 18 Rio players who batted had at least one hit in the victory. Twenty-five different players got into the game in some form or fashion for the RedStorm, who tallied 16 hits as team. Rio Grande took a 1-0 lead in the second inning against Salem starter Myles Swartz when freshman Tim Easterling led off with a walk and later scored on the second of two Tiger errors in the inning, but Salem rebounded to knot the score at 1-1 in the third against Rio senior starter Ben Schlater when Michael Holbert reached on a one-out single, moved to second on a groundout and scored on a single to right by Kenneth Minor. The RedStorm went in front for good by scoring four times in the home half of the third – one of four multiple-run frames for head coach Brad Warnimont’s squad. Senior Brian Suerdick doubled with one out, went to third on a flyout to deep center and, on the same play, scored when the throw back into the infield was bobbled for an error. Easterling followed with a triple to right, before junior Vince Perry walked and freshman Justin Cavender was hit by a pitch to load the bases. Freshman Luke Taylor reached on a infield single to shortstop to make it 3-1 and junior Mark Parent followed with a two-run single to center. Rio got four more runs in the fifth when Perry led off with a double to left-center and freshman courtesy runner Tyler Donaldson rode home on a single to left by Cavender, who also scored later in the inning on a bases-loaded wild pitch. Freshman Grant Tamane also added a two-run single in the inning. Taylor drove home another run with a fielder’s choice grounder, while senior Jacob Cooke and junior Kyle Perez added RBI hits in a three-run Rio sixth. Freshman Evan Hacker had a run-scoring triple and later scored on a single by Cooke in the home seventh inning. Perez, Cooke and Parent all had two hits each, while Taylor finished with three runs batted in for Rio. Tamane, Cooke and Parent also drove home two runs apiece.

However, they’re still in the hunt for Robert Griffin III. Offering few clues about his plans for the NFL draft, free agency or how he’ll solve Cleveland’s interminable quarterback riddle, Browns general manager Tom Heckert said the team will not pursue Manning, who is now a high-priced free agent after being released by the Indianapolis Colts. “Not really,” Heckert said when asked if Manning was on the club’s radar. “He’s obviously a great player and all that, but where we’re at and where he’s at … To be honest, we have not talked to him or anything. No, that’s probably not a direction we’re going in.” Heckert met informally Thursday with reporters for the first time since undergoing heart surgery last month. A few pounds lighter, he recently returned to the office after recovering at home and missing the scouting combine in Indianapolis, where the Browns snared an up-close look at Griffin, Baylor(’s talented Heisman Trophy winner. With the No. 4 overall pick, the Browns may have a chance to select Griffin, considered the best QB prospect in this year’s draft behind Stanford’s Andrew Luck, who is expected to be taken first by the Colts. But with Griffin’s stock soaring and several teams desperate for a franchise quarterback, Cleveland, which also owns the No. 22 pick, might have to trade up to get St. Louis’ pick at No. 2 if they want Griffin. The move could be costly. It’s possible the Browns could wind up in a bidding war with several teams for a shot at Griffin. Heckert treasures draft picks and might be unwilling to part with any of Cleveland’s selections. But the price might be worth it if the Browns, who have three of the top 37 picks, feel Griffin can reshape a franchise that has just one playoff appearance since 1999 and was the only AFC North team not in the playoffs last season. Heckert acknowledged that he has had talks with the Rams, but he wouldn’t classify them as “serious.” He was asked if the Browns would be willing to give up both its first-round picks to go higher. “I’d never say never about anything,” said Heckert, who plans to attend Griffin’s pro day workout on March 21. Heckert called all the speculation about a possible trade with St. Louis preliminary and labeled media reports as “crazy.” He also said it’s possible the Browns might hold onto their first pick. “We feel very comfortable staying at four and getting a good player there, and that could happen,” he said. “And we feel comfortable in moving down and getting more picks, we really do. It’s way early to start talking about this stuff.” Heckert said the Browns believe there are four quality quarterbacks in this year’s draft class. In addition to Luck and Griffin, Heckert mentioned Texas A&M’s Ryan Tannehill “untapped” and Oklahoma State’s Brandon Weeden “super smart” during his 30-minute interview session. Heckert said he’s eager to see the 28-year-old Weeden throw at his pro day on Friday. And while the focus has been on jockeying for position to possibly get Griffin, Heckert said the Browns have not given up on Colt McCoy, who had an inconsistent season as a full-time starter. “We’re not down on Colt McCoy, so I just want to make that clear,” Heckert said. “We still think Colt’s going to be a good player.” Heckert said there’s comfort in knowing what they have in McCoy. He also believes adding former Minnesota coach Brad Childress as the team’s new offensive coordinator will only help McCoy, who was plagued by a lack of protection and dropped balls last season. “The question is whether we have enough to see what Colt can do, and I think we do,” Heckert said. “If we catch more balls and protect him betSee MANNING ‌| B2 �Friday, March 9, 2012 The Daily Sentinel • Page B2 www.mydailysentinel.com OVP Sports Briefs Mason summer baseball/softball signups MASON, W.Va. — Children may be signed up for baseball or softball from 10 a.m. to noon, every Saturday in March at the Hair Shop in Mason.

A boys Division IV state tournament berth will be on the line when either Columbus Africentric or Newark Catholic face a Southeast District representative at 7:30 p.m. in Jim’s Gym. The regional final was originally slated to be played at the Ohio University Convocation Center in Athens but was switched to Logan due to a scheduling conflict, according to Ron Janey, Logan High School activities director, who received word of the switch Thursday from the Ohio High School Athletic Association. Africentric (21-3), which downed Millersport 71-34 in a district final Wednesday night, and Newark Catholic (20-3), a 52-48 district final victor over Shekinah Christian, meet Tuesday in a regional semifinal at Ohio Dominican University, with the survivor traveling to Hocking County next Friday. There are two Southeast District D4 final games slated this Saturday at the Convocation Center.

Kentucky, Syracuse have edge for top NCAA seeds Eddie Pells Associated Press Even the chairman of the tightlipped NCAA selection committee can’t deny this simple fact: Heading into this week’s conference tournaments, there’s Kentucky and Syracuse, and then everybody else. In a teleconference to preview Sunday’s release of the NCAA tournament pairings, committee chairman Jeff Hathaway all but handed two of the four top seeds to the Wildcats and Orange, each of whom entered their conference tournaments with a record of 30-1. “I think we all agree that if the season ended today, we know who the two best teams are,” he said Wednes- day. “If you’re looking at 3 and 4 on the first line and the entire second line, we have the same handful of teams in mind but where they would be laced will be a tremendous debate.” Though Hathaway, the former athletic director at defending national champion Connecticut, did not get specific, among those lumped into consideration for the other top seeds are Duke, Kansas, North Carolina, Missouri, Ohio State and Michigan State. The brackets come out Sunday evening, with the tournament starting Tuesday. When Hathaway was pressed about his Kentucky-Syracuse statement, he tried to back off. “I don’t want to say anyone should feel secure,” he said. “If I did, those two coaches would get after me and say we took away some motivation.” He said injuries or a suspension, each of which the committee considers when making up the bracket, could change the picture. “The bottom line is, everyone today knows that if the season ended, we would say those two teams are the best in the country,” Hathaway said. As is typical in the lead-up to Selection Sunday, the chairman talked a lot about process but offered few specifics or promises. He said the Big Ten, widely perceived as the strongest conference top to bottom this season, would not receive special consideration for a top seed.

We still think Colt can play in this league and it’s our job to help him out.” As for free agency, Heckert won’t change his ways. Since his days as Philadelphia’s GM, Heckert has resisted the urge to overspend on players. He’ll stick with his method of building mainly through the draft while adding lower-tier free agents to fill particular holes and the Browns have a bunch. “We’re not going to go crazy in free agency,” he said. “You look at throughout the history. I know Green Bay didn’t sign one free agent when they won (the Super Bowl) two years ago. I don’t think the Giants signed anybody, or at least anybody you’ve ever heard of as a free agent. You don’t win football games by signing a bunch of free agents. Now, can they help you? Certainly. And if there’s guys that we think can help us, we’ll definitely do it. But it’s easier said than done.” Heckert’s stance would seem to rule out the Browns making a run at Green Bay quarterback Matt Flynn, the prize of this year’s free agent group. Heckert reiterated the Browns are open to re-signing running back Peyton Hillis, who had a drama- and injury-filled second season in Cleveland. Hillis, who rushed for 1,177 yards in 2010, recently changed agents again and will be an unrestricted free agent. “If we can work things out, he’d like be here,” Heckert said. “And if we can do it, we’d like him to be here. Whether he has to wait till he sees what happens in free agency, that’s fine with us. We’re willing to do that. We’ll just have to wait and see how things go.” On other Browns issues, Heckert said: The team has not had any contact with linebacker Scott Fujita, who played for New Orleans from 2006-09 and is reportedly entangled in the Saints’ “bounty” scandal. He would like to sign veteran kicker Phil Dawson to a long-term contract. The Browns placed their franchise tag last week on Dawson, who has been with Cleveland since 1999 and his coming off one of his finest seasons. The Browns want to retain free safety Mike Adams and cornerback Dimitri Patterson. Both are scheduled to become unrestricted free agents. Right tackle Tony Pashos underwent ankle surgery on Tuesday. Pashos was slowed by an injury to his ankle most of last season.

The latest game kept Syracuse’s strong season moving toward a No. 1 seed in the NCAA tournament and ended Connecticut’s memorable postseason streak. Dion Waiters had 18 points and James Southerland scored all 10 of his points over the final 8 minutes to lead No. 2 Syracuse to a 58-55 victory Thursday in the quarterfinals of the Big East tournament. The top-seeded Orange (31-1) won their 11th straight game overall and advanced to face the winner of the Georgetown-Cincinnati game in the semifinals on Friday night at Madison Square Garden. This was their first game after earning a double-bye into the quarterfinals. “I hate sitting around all week, and it’s very difficult,” Syracuse coach Jim Boeheim said. “I’m glad that we were able to get a win. We haven’t played that many games and we need to play again. Tomorrow’s game will help us, but this was a tremendous comeback. This team has been very good down the stretch all year, and that was the case today.” The Huskies had their 13-game postseason winning streak snapped and ended a chance at making history for a second straight year. Shabazz Napier had 15 points and Andre Drummond added 14 for the ninth-seeded Huskies (20-13), who were trying to duplicate last year’s first-ever five-game run to the Big East tournament title that was followed by a six-game streak that brought the school its third national championship. “The anguish I feel is disappointment for them,” Connecticut coach Jim Calhoun said of his team. “They were primed mentally today to do something very special and almost pulled it off. … No one can tell you that it wasn’t a good team who was wearing blue today. Did we shoot great? No. Did we make great decisions? No. Did we play with great heart and great intensity and did we play for us and each other? Without a doubt, and I couldn’t be prouder of them.” In the semifinals last year, Connecticut beat the Orange 76-71 in overtime. In the previous meeting in the tournament in 2009, Syracuse won 127-117 in a six-overtime quarterfinal. This one ended in 40 minutes, but there once again was the chance at playing past the regulation buzzer. The Huskies, who beat DePaul and West Virginia in the first two rounds, went 7 minutes without a field goal and during that span Syracuse was able to take the lead for good on a fallaway jumper by Waiters that made it 48-47 with 5:41 to play. Southerland, who came into the game averaging 6.6 points, hit his second 3-pointer 16 seconds later to make it 51-47. Drummond converted an alley-oop pass from Napier with 2:32 left, the first time the Huskies were within three points. The last time they were that close was 58-55 with 4.6 seconds left on a reverse by Drummond. After a timeout, the Orange were able to inbound the ball and run out the clock. “We got James open a couple times. He’s a tremendous shooter,” Boeheim said. “He can make those shots, and he made them early in the year. He struggled a little bit during the week, but he’s been making them in practice. He looked good the last game, made a big one, and we think he can make those shots and be a factor for us, a big factor for us the rest of the way. So it was good for him to get those looks. “Our guys are very unselfish. They found him in there and got him the ball.” And Southerland, a 6-foot-8 junior from New York, knew what to do when they did. “It felt really great out there, especially being at home and all,” he said of playing in front of a sellout crowd of 20,057. “I missed my first two shots. The first one I felt was good, the second one was kind of rushed. It’s good my teammates are here for me, they’re not giving up on me just because I missed two shots, and it feels good. It was a great atmosphere.” Neither team shot well Connecticut 34.4 percent, Syracuse 38.5 percent and the Huskies controlled the boards with a 46-34 advantage, 18-8 on the offensive end, with Drummond grabbing 10, seven offensive. “Both teams struggled shooting the ball, and both teams are very good defensively,” Boeheim said. ” We couldn’t really get anything going offensively, and then we changed something just a little bit. Got a little bit more space.” Syracuse had a big advantage at the free throw line, finishing 15 of 23 compared to the Huskies’ 5 of 10. The Orange swept the two regular season meetings, the second 71-69 at Connecticut. Syracuse has an 8-6 advantage in the teams’ Big East tournament meetings and have won six of the last seven, the only loss the six-overtime game. The Orange are 4-0 against Connecticut in the quarterfinals. The game pitted two coaches who have had their share of struggles this season. Boeheim, who went through the childabuse charges and firing of longtime assistant Bernie Fine and recent allegations of former players in the program failing drug tests, won his 887th game, second on the all-time list. “This was reported five years ago, and we’re waiting for them to finish the process,” Boeheim said when asked about the drug tests. “If things were bothering us we wouldn’t be 31-1. Nothing bothers us. We come ready to play. That’s what you should do in life. Everybody gets bothered. Everybody has problems. I’m much more concerned about my wife being mad at me than I am anything else, to tell you the truth.” Calhoun was suspended for the first three conference games for failure to maintain control of his program when it was charged with NCAA violations and he missed eight games with back problems, returning four games ago following spinal surgery. The Huskies won his first three games back, bringing him to 873 wins, sixth on the all-time list. “I love Jim Boeheim like a brother, and through everything else, and I’ve told people this through the whole year, including other things that have gone on, he’s done an incredible job coaching his team and being unselfish and giving to each other, and they’re just a terrific basketball team, capable in my opinion of winning a national championship,” Calhoun said. AVENTURA, Fla. (AP) — If Peyton Manning wants to talk about playing quarterback for the Miami Dolphins, Dan Marino would be thrilled to take his call. And just in case, Marino has his sales pitch ready. “There’s great tradition there. We’ve had a couple off years but believe me, they’ll be back,” Marino said. “It’s a great franchise and they’ll get it turned around.” Adding Manning would almost certainly help in that quest, which largely started when Marino retired more than a decade ago. From the moment the four-time MVP’s parting from the Indianapolis Colts became complete Wednesday, buzz about Manning has been growing in Miami much of it fueled by the quarterback’s arrival in South Florida only a few minutes after he technically became an NFL free agent for the first time. Manning insists he does not know what his next move will be or even how this chapter of his life will work, and Marino believes him. “I think he fits with anybody,” Marino said Thursday at a charity golf tournament. “He’s one of the best to ever play the game at that position. So wherever he ends up playing, if he’s healthy, which is going to be important to Peyton, I’m sure he wants to go out there and play at a high level. Wherever he plays, he’ll be a huge impact for that team.” The Dolphins are believed to be one of the teams interested in adding Manning. Manning’s arrival in Miami doesn’t seem to be a sign that the Dolphins are a frontrunner in the sweepstakes to become the new Peyton’s place. He owns a condo in Miami Beach, where television crews were staked out Thursday. His arrival at a small airport was captured by news helicopters, and in an effort to get some media to stop following him Wednesday evening, Manning pulled over and spoke with reporters for a few moments. Other than his father Archie and Super Bowl-winning brother Eli, “Dan Marino is my all-time favorite quarterback,” Manning said Wednesday. Marino said he was moved hearing that. “It means a lot because Peyton’s been great to me over the years and he’s been such a true pro and a very good friend,” Marino said. “It’s tough to see him not be- ing able to continue his career (in Indianapolis). … He’s a class act.” After the Colts decided not to pick up Manning’s $28 million bonus, team owner Jim Irsay ended months of speculation by releasing the 14-year veteran and longtime face of the franchise. Indianapolis is likely to find Manning’s replacement in April’s draft, presumably Stanford’s Andrew Luck; the Colts have the first overall pick. Manning missed the entire 2011 season because of a damaged nerve that caused weakness in his right arm. He had the most recent of his multiple neck surgeries Sept. 8. The Manning watch is consuming Miami, even with the NBA’s Heat having one of the league’s best records so far, the newly renamed Miami Marlins set to begin play in a $515 million downtown ballpark with an upgraded roster next month, Tiger Woods and the world’s best golfers playing at Doral this week, even the NHL’s Florida Panthers in the mix for a playoff spot for the first time in years. Everyone is watching, or so it seems. Dwyane Wade reached out to Manning on Twitter, and LeBron James took time in a postgame television interview to briefly sell Manning on the merits of South Florida. Will Marino call him? “I probably wouldn’t do that unless he asks for some advice,” Marino said. “And he has plenty of people that he’s working with to help him make the right decisions.” Manning’s health is going to be a major concern for any team. Dolphins kicker Dan Carpenter said if Manning says he’s healthy enough to play, then that’s good enough for him. “He’s a great football player,” Carpenter said. “I definitely think having Peyton Manning won’t hurt your chances. … Obviously, I don’t know how hard we’re pursuing him. It’s hard to say what Peyton Manning’s thinking. I’m sure he’s going to talk to his family, think about himself and think about where he wants to be and make that decision.” Carpenter said he didn’t watch the coverage of Manning’s news conference in Indianapolis and his arrival in Miami, only highlights afterward. “Kind of hard to miss, actually,” Carpenter said. It might not be going away anytime soon, either. Marino: Manning ‘fits with anybody’ in NFL Irving’s layup lifts Cavs over Nuggets, 100-99 DENVER (AP) — Kyrie Irving reminded Ty Lawson and the Nuggets what it feels like to be on the other end of a big shot. Irving made a driving layup with four seconds left to cap a seesaw battle in the final minutes, and the Cleveland Cavaliers beat Denver 100-99 on Wednesday night. Irving scored 10 of his 18 points in the fourth quarter, all in the last 2:36 of the game, and Antawn Jamison had 33 to help the Cavaliers snap a six-game losing streak. “Kyrie down the stretch, it speaks for itself,” Jamison said. “He single-handedly won the game for us.” It wasn’t easy. Neither team could pull away in the fourth quarter. Denver scored the first six points to go ahead 78-76 and the lead changed hands nine times in the final 2:36, with the point guards staging a personal duel down the stretch. Lawson, who made the decisive baskets in wins over San Antonio and Sacramento in the last week, had five of his 18 points in the finishing flurry to give Denver a 95-94 lead. Irving had two three-point plays and a driving layup to put Cleveland up 98-97 with 24 seconds left. He saved his best for the final seconds. After Nene muscled in a layup over rookie Tristan Thompson with 15 seconds left to give Denver a 99-98 lead, Irving took the inbounds pass in the backcourt, raced up the floor into the lane and made the go-ahead basket. “I tried to deny him the ball. He got a head of steam, got me on his hip and took it all the way,” Arron Afflalo said. “We would like to first keep him in front of us and if he does get by us have some help in protecting the basket. Neither one was done. You expect on the game-winning layup someone swats on the ball.” Irving said he took Afflalo’s defense as a challenge. “He picked me up fullcourt and I take it as a test when people pick me up fullcourt,” Irving said. “The lane opened up when I got down there, it was a tough shot, but my teammates willed it in.” After a timeout, Lawson got the ball at the top of the key with Irving guarding him. Despite having five fouls, Irving played aggressive defense and forced Lawson into a tough layup that he missed at the buzzer. “I got a step on him and I seen him try to time the shot,” Lawson said. “I tried to step in and get him off balance. I didn’t have enough lift to finish it. It hit the rim, but it’s one of those shots I need to make.” Despite 22 points from Al Harrington and 16 from Andre Miller, Denver had its four-game win streak snapped. “Just keep moving forward. There’s too many games to worry about one,” Lawson said. The game was tied in the third quarter before Alonzo Gee scored the next seven points to give Cleveland a 72-65 edge. The Cavs led by four heading into the fourth after Daniel Gibson’s 3-pointer was ruled after the horn. Gee finished with 19. Jamison was the biggest reason for Cleveland leading 57-55 at the break. The forward scored 14 in the first quarter to keep the Cavaliers close, then had 12 more in the second when they overcame a nine-point deficit. Trailing 41-32, Jamison hit two jumpers and a pair of free throws to get the margin to 45-42 midway through the second. Gee tied it with a layup, Anthony Parker hit a 3 and Jamison scored four more points during a 23-8 run that gave Cleveland a 55-49 lead. “It wasn’t really forced, it came natural and I was able to get quality shots,” Jamison said. Harrington had 12 points off the bench to lead Denver in the first half. EyeBlack serves up patches for athletes and fans ROCKVILLE, Md. (AP) — One of the latest trends in sports uses an old routine to bring fans and players closer together: Wearing eye black, the patches athletes use under their eyes to blot out glare from the sun. While watching a baseball game, former sales executive Peter Beveridge thought: Why not put team or corporate logos on those little pieces of tape? So he went to patent office, and nine years later is the sole owner of EyeBlack, a multimillion dollar company that last year sold more than six million pairs. Athletes and fans can buy black patches produced by a variety of companies at hundreds of stores. Wilson, for instance, sells eye black stickers and eye black grease in “a handy tube applicator.” But EyeBlack owns the patent on under-theeye tape with logos, pictures, phrases and yes, even bible verses. When Tim Tebow listed religious psalms on his patches while quarterbacking the Florida Gators and when former Southern California running back Reggie Bush wore San Diego area code 619 on the tape under his eyes, they were treading on Beveridge territory. “It was an infringement of the patent but we had no intention of filing a lawsuit,” he said. “Instead, we immediately made the product and sent it to the athletic trainers of both schools.” EyeBlack is also licensed by Major League Baseball, which is distributing patches to players this spring for use in practice, exhibition games and during the regular season. “The product is interesting in that offers a new look and a new way for the club to show off its logo,” said Matt Bourne, an MLB spokesman. Beveridge launched his company soon after convincing equipment managers at Maryland, Virginia Tech and the University of Miami to give it a whirl. “I’m always indebted to these guys because they didn’t think I was insane,” Beveridge said. “So I came down, put it on these guy’s faces, and the feedback I got was stunningly good.” At first, Beveridge set up shop in his mother’s basement. Now he’s in a 5,000 square-foot shop that appears to be getting smaller as the business gets bigger. NFL players Brian Urlacher, Marshawn Lynch, LaMarr Woodley and Stevie Johnson are spokesmen for the product, and more than 200 colleges across the nation are licensed to wear custom EyeBlack merchandise. Other clients include Nike, Ripken Baseball and even pro wrestler Shawn Michaels. The NFL does not allow players to put messages on eye black, so Urlacher goes with the standard black strips. The Chicago Bears linebacker considers EyeBlack to be as much part of his uniform as shoulder pads and a helmet. “Applying it before games has become a ritual for me,” he said. “After putting it on I am ready to play.” Not everyone is an EyeBlack customer. For instance, Baltimore Ravens linebacker Ray Lewis chooses grease, applying it like war paint on Sunday afternoons. It’s simply a matter of preference. The NCAA in 2010 banned players from wearing logos or messages on eye black, so the only options are black patches or grease. “I think that the players really do like the EyeBlack,” said Ron Ohringer, head trainer at Maryland. “It’s a lot cleaner and easier to manage than the old grease pencils we used, though a few players still like to use that.” EyeBlack is made from high-grade medical tape manufactured in the United States. “It drives me crazy when people say it’s a sticker,” Beveridge said. “It actually took a lot of time to find the right material. The cheek area is sensitive. The tape has to be able to withstand sweat, but it’s also got to work for the fans.” Kids who play baseball in the Ripken League and at a camp run by Hall of Fame star Cal Ripken Jr. receive patches that read, “Ripken Baseball.” “EyeBlack is a brand that makes sense for all that we are doing with kids,” Ripken said. “Young ballplayers wear it today to improve their game and to show their pride and passion for their sport.” Beveridge, 52, received a bachelor’s degree in economics from William & Mary and earned his master’s at American University. He left his job at the Sylvan Learning Center to make a living producing little patches people put on their faces. “In the spectrum of things, there’s brain surgery on one side and EyeBlack on the other,” he said. “EyeBlack is meant to be simple, fun, unique. It’s made to make you feel about yourself in some way when you put it on.” Business is booming, but that doesn’t mean Beveridge intends to be around for the long haul. “Clearly the idea when I came on board was make this into something that’s a legitimate product. We’ve done that,” he said. “We want to build this into a well-recognized brand. Preferably, it would be great if someone came in here and bought us out. That’s essentially why I got into it. “I didn’t get into this to be making EyeBlack for the rest of my life. However, if I did it, there are worse ways to make a living.” �FRIDAY , MARCH 9, 2012 Friday, March 9, 2012 BLONDIE BEETLE BAILEY FUNKY WINKERBEAN HAGAR THE HORRIBLE HI & LOIS www.mydailysentinel.com COMICS/ENTERTAINMENT Dean Young/Denis Lebrun Mort Walker Today’s Answers Tom Batiuk Chris Browne Brian and Greg Walker THE LOCKHORNS MUTTS The Daily Sentinel • Page B5 William Hoest Patrick McDonnell Jacquelene Bigar’s HOROSCOPE ZITS THE FAMILY CIRCUS Bil Keane DENNIS THE MENACE Hank Ketchum Jerry Scott and Jim Borgman CONCEPTIS SUDOKU by Dave Green HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Friday, March 9, 2012: This year you see life from a more caring perspective.

The Coalition On Intercollegiate Athletics met in January, and this week released five policy recommendations made by its steering committee. All the proposals dealt with finding ways to rein in what many on the committee view as the runaway costs of college sports and the outsized influence sports have on campuses. The NCAA antitrust exemption would generate the biggest change of the COIA recommendations but would also be the most controversial because it would require Congressional approval. Court cases in 1984 and 1995 essentially stripped the NCAA of any rights to control costs, which has led to growing revenues through the college football bowl system but also spawned steadily increas- ing salaries for coaches and expenses for facilities. “Without modification of antitrust constraints, there is no mechanism to restrain the market forces driving rapid commercial expansion,” the steering committee wrote. Its four other recommendations were: To support the so-called “collegiate model” of sports and try to lessen the commercialism that has led to calls that athletes should be paid to play. To advocate for policies that will keep big football conferences inside the NCAA, which would allow for some oversight that would be missing if they splintered away. To increase efforts to respond to the “reputational risks” that the market-driven model of sports pose to U.S. higher education. This issue came to light, unflinchingly, in the child sex abuse scandal at Penn State, which had its reputation sullied because of problems originating in the football program. To continue cooperating with the NCAA in trying to bring about changes, while remaining vigilant about NCAA efforts that place col- lege sports over the academic missions of the schools themselves. If Congress ever did grant an antitrust exemption, the NCAA would conceivably have power to regulate what programs spend on salaries and facilities. It’s an idea that would help the so-called ‘havenots’ in college sports while reining in what the ‘haves’ could spend, which is one reason the idea hasn’t gathered much support over the years. It would also invite Congress to design a new system through legislation, which many university leaders oppose. But the COIA steering committee made the recommendation because it doesn’t see schools or the NCAA as doing enough to keep themselves in check financially. “While the NCAA is demonstrating significant ability to regulate in the interests of higher education in the area of academic reform, it is prevented by antitrust laws from doing so in the area of economic regulation, and it has been amply demonstrated that schools are not able to do so themselves,” the committee wrote.

The Raptors defeated the Cavs, 104-96. Australia in Olympics CLEVELAND (AP) — Cavaliers rookiZZZe Kyrie Irving won’t play for Australia in the London Olympics this summer. Irving was born in Australia in 1992, while his father was playing professional basketball in Melbourne. He holds dual U.S. and Australian citizenship, making him eligible to play for either country under FIBA rules. Irving said Monday night, after Cleveland lost to Utah 109-100, that he will remain with Team USA. He hopes to make the Olympic team in 2016 and play again for Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski. Irving said he received confirmation that Krzyzewski will coach Team USA in four years in the Rio Olympics. Irving played for Krzyzewski at Duke last season before becoming the No. 1 pick in the NBA draft. “It was the right decision,” said Irving, who has represented the United States in junior competition. “I found out Coach K would be coaching in 2016. It made my decision so much easier to play for my coach again. That was the deciding factor.” Irving, who will turn 20 on March 23, is the top contender for NBA rookie of the year honors. He leads rookies with 18.6 points per game and is second to Minnesota’s Ricky Rubio with 5.1 assists. Irving, the centerpiece of the Cavaliers’ rebuilding project, is shooting 48.3 percent from the field. He was the MVP of the Rising Stars Challenge during NBA AllStar weekend. DORAL, Fla. (AP) — Donald Trump has monster plans for his purchase of the Doral Golf Resort. Trump bought the famous golf resort outside Miami for $150 million and said Thursday he plans to invest more than $200 million to revamp the Blue Monster championship course and stop at nothing to make Doral the ultimate golf destination. “It’s a tremendous location, 800 acres right smack in the middle of Miami, and we look to make this one of the great places anywhere in the world for golf,” Trump said Thursday. “It needs a lot of work. It’s a little bit tired, and that’s OK. And we’re going to do something special.” The sale is to close June 1. Doral has held a PGA Tour event since 1962, and it was elevated to a World Golf Championship in 2007. It is hosting a 74-man field this week that includes the top 50 players in the world ranking. Trump said the course would be shut down after the 2013 tournament, and Gil Hanse would renovate what is now called the TPC Blue Monster. Hanse was selected Wednesday to design the course in Rio de Janeiro for the 2016 Olympics. Trump is likely to change the name of the Doral course but won’t decide until the project is finished. “When we have spent the money, and when it’s at the highest level of luxury and highest level of golf … then we are going to make the decision,” he said. “But it will be in some form ‘Doral.’” Trump already has Trump International in West Palm Beach, which once hosted the LPGA Tour Championship. He also has courses in New York, Washington, along the coast in California. This is what happens when a developer has a passion for golf. The sale includes three other golf courses, but not the White Course across the street, which was offered at a steep price because it still can be developed. Trump said the Red and Gold courses, which are adjacent to the Blue Monster, will be upgraded, and he has contemplated combining them into one great course instead of two ordinary ones.
