Ohio EPA to hold meeting on mining applications
BY BETH SERGENT
BSERGENT@MYDAILYSENTINEL.COM

RACINE — A month
after the Ohio Department
of Natural Resources held
a public, informal conference concerning a permit
filed by Gatling to expand
mining operations, the
Ohio
Environmental
Protection Agency is
holding a similar public
hearing regarding Gatling
permit applications.
According to Ohio

EPA, a public information
session and hearing will
be held at 6:30 p.m.,
March 16 at Southern
Elementary School to discuss Gatling’s permit
applications for three proposed mining projects and
water quality impacts to
several state highways. A
press release from the
Ohio EPA went on to say
the agency is reviewing
applications for permits to
construct treatment and
disposal systems and for

wastewater discharge permits for Yellowbush Mine
operations off Ohio 124
and County Road 29 in
Sutton Township near
Racine.
The Ohio EPA is
reviewing this applications to, as the agency
states, “ensure that discharges from the projects
would comply with
Ohio's water quality standards that protect aquatic
life and human health.” If
Ohio EPA issues the per-

mits, the company could
discharge treated wastewater into tributaries to
Bowman and Wolf Runs,
Yellowbush Creek and
subsequently the Ohio
River; this may result in a
change from current
water quality conditions.
According to Ohio

POMEROY — Nearly
1,000 Meigs County
youth benefit from programs offered through 4H, and county commissioners offered their support of the program
Thursday by proclaiming

POINT PLEASANT
— The highly controversial issue of tolling U.S.
35 can now be put to rest.
On Wednesday, the
Senate rejected the proposed bill, which would
use revenue collected
from tolls to help finance
the completion of U.S.
35. The final vote on the
bill was 12-21.
State officials wanted
to put tolls on U.S. 35 in
both Mason and Putnam
counties. The revenues
collected from the tolls
would finance bonds proposed to complete a $187
million upgrade of the
highway. To ensure that
bonds would be paid off,
Tomblin sought to pledge
$8 million in state funds.
While, the remaining
14.6 miles of U.S. 35,
which spans between
Mason and Putnam counties, still remains incomplete, local officials said
that they are hopeful
other means of financing
construction will be
found.

James Michael “Dewey” Drehel, 49, Middleport,
passed away on Wednesday, March 2, 2011, at his
residence surrounded by his family and friends.
He was born on Oct. 9, 1961, in Man, W.Va., to
James and Phyllis (Sargent) Drehel. Mike worked at
the Hocking Valley Community Residential Center
as a Youth Specialist, where he loved working with
his boys. He was a member of Paul’s Chapel United
Baptist Church and he also attended the Silver
Memorial Freewill Baptist Church.
He was a past president of AFFCME from 20082010, he was a 1979 graduate of Meigs High School
and helped with the Rutland Ball Association. He
loved spending time with his family fishing, camping, sports and gardening. Mike was a loving husband, father, grandfather, son and brother. He will
be missed by all.
He is survived by his wife, Susie Drehel; children,
Mica Drehel and James Conley; granddaughter,
Jade Conley; parents, Jim and Phyllis Drehel; sister,
Shari and John Huffman, several nieces, nephews
and aunts, uncles, cousins and a host of friends.

4-H Week
From Page A1
11 months last year, Turner said. She also presented
these facts:
• A 4-H alumnus recently received $7,400 in scholarship money from the 4-H organization.
• 63 Meigs County teens have attended the Ohio 4H conference in five years.
• Two 4-H teens from here in Meigs County have
been selected to represent the county and state at the
national 4-H Club Congress.
• An average of 30 youth represent this county at
the Ohio State Fair through excellent project work.
• Meigs teen leaders planned fundraisers and raised
$1,000 for the tornado victims in Olive Township.
Commissioners signed a proclamation declaring next
week Ohio 4-H week, and expressed their support of 4H. President Michael Bartrum noted that his wife is a 4H alumnae, and his children are current members.
Bartrum expressed disappointment in the need for
cuts in extension services in this year’s general fund
budget. Commissioners share the cost of extension programming with The Ohio State University, and Bartrum
said this year’s tight budget required reductions in funding. He said, however, that some counties have eliminated funding and programs all together.

Gatling wants to change existing treatment ponds currently discharging to Yellowbush Creek. A new permit
would add discharge from an existing treatment pond
for the river dock operation.
The press release states, during the information session, representatives from Ohio EPA will explain the
proposed projects and answer questions. During the
hearing, which immediately follows the information
session, the public can submit comments for the record
regarding the proposed projects. The purpose of the
hearing is to obtain additional information that will be
considered before Ohio EPA issues or denies the permits.
In addition to oral comments provided at the public
meeting, Ohio EPA will equally consider written comments received through March 23, 2011, at Ohio EPADivision of Surface Water, Attention: Permits
Processing Unit, P.O. Box 1049, Columbus, Ohio
43216-1049. Interested parties may request to be
placed on a mailing list for information by writing to
the same address. The permit applications and related
materials are available for review at Ohio EPA's
Southeast District Office at 2195 Front St. in Logan by
first calling (740) 385-8501.
The release also states “Ohio EPA places a high priority on public involvement and encourages citizens to
become involved in the decision-making process.”
Last month’s informal conference held by ODNR
was to discuss Gatling’s permit application to add
4,026.9 underground acres and 19.9 surface acres to its
existing mining operation.

Ihle
From Page A1
commissioners in small counties still deal more directly
with the public and staff, Ihle said.
However, despite differences in daily office operations, commissioners across Ohio are grappling with
many of the same issues, like court operations, expenses relating to sheriff’s departments and law enforcement, and, surprisingly, animal issues such as dog shelter operations, Ihle said.
“I feel I have been self-educated, mostly, in the job,”
Ihle said. “Coming in from the first day and learning the
job has been a crash course, but having the opportunity
to discuss common issues with other commissioners
was very valuable.”
Last week’s training focused on issues facing new
commissioners, but all three members of the board of
commissioners will attend another CCAO conference
later this year.
Other business:
Board President Michael Bartrum said commissioners have been reviewing each week’s accounts payable
report line by line, and communicating more closely
with officeholders relating to expenses presented for
approval.
Commissioners tabled action on this week’s edit list
of bills submitted for payment pending discussions
relating to some expenses.
Attending were Bartrum, Ihle and Tom Anderson and
Clerk Gloria Kloes.

Michael, in the position of case manager since
2006, talked about the flexibility she has in providing
services because of additional undesignated grant
monies which come into the program. She also mentioned fundraisers which take place in order to bring
in money for things not included under program
guidelines.
For the past several years a group of supporters has
held a car show at the Kountry Campgrounds near
Pomeroy to raise money which can be used for needs
not covered by grant money — “like shoes, clothing,
and even food,” said Michael.
As Educator of the Month, Michael will receive

TUPPERS PLAINS — The Amazing Grace
Community Church in Tuppers Plains is partnering with
the annual Alan Shawn Feinstein Food Drive which is
conducted over the next two months.
For the past 13 years Alan Shawn Feinstein has been
giving away $1,000,000 each year to anti-hunger agencies throughout the country who donate to the cause of
feeding the poor.
According to church member Cindy Chadwell, the
more donations Amazing Grace Community Church collects before April 30, the more match money will come
to the church from the Feinstein fund. Donations can
include cash, checks, food items or pledges.
“Alan Shawn Feinstein believes each of us was put here
on earth to do what we can to help those in need. This is
our philosophy too,” said Chadwell. “This has become
the greatest grass roots
campaign ever to fight
hunger in our country.”
Monetary donations can be
mailed to the Amazing Grace
Community Church in care
of Darl Collins, Treasurer at
1720 Cornes Road in Little
Hocking, Ohio 45742.
Food items can be
dropped off at the Amazing

on Wednesday evening at 7
p.m. or on Sunday morning
at 9:45 a.m. or by calling
Pastor Wayne Dunlap at
740-667-0194 to make
other arrangements.
“Helping the Amazing

at Ohio Prayer Summit
have no greater position than
being a servant to their Master,
Jesus.
It’s vital to remember, too, that
“Where God leads, He provides.”
When God calls you to leadership, He will equip you for the
challenge. As we are obedient to
the Lord, His spirit and power are
released in our lives.
Moses was reluctant to obey
God’s call to deliver the Israelites
out of Egypt. He wasn’t eloquent
and felt inadequate, but God gave
Moses all he needed to bring
about His plan.
David took the five smooth
stones in his possession and killed
the imposing Goliath. You may
be overwhelmed today as you
look at the inadequacies and
giants in your life.
But, the Lord wants you take
the gifts, talents, and resources
that He has given you and use
them for His glory.
I Corinthians 12 tells us that the
Body of Christ has many parts,
and while there are different gifts
and service, “the same God works
all of them in all men” (I
Cornthians 12:6).
Just as the Lord was faithful to
provide for Moses and David, He
will be faithful to you as you
serve in the role that He is calling
you.
Leaders are also called to “run

the race” with determination and
perseverance. In Galations 6:9,
Paul tells believers to “not grow
weary in doing good, for at the
proper time we will reap a harvest
if we do not give up” and
Hebrews 12:1 exhorts, “Let us run
with perseverance the race
marked out for us.”
God has a race for each of us to
run! Have courage and set goals
as you sere and lead those who’ve
dedicated themselves to helping
you toward the finish line.
And most importantly, undergird everything with prayer.
Leading begins on our knees.
In our won might and abilities,
we can do nothing of eternal
value, but “the prayer of the righteous man accomplishes much”
(James 5:16).
As one Christian leader has
said, “We do not work miracles
for God. He does them for us.”
In preparation for leadership,
we need to ensure that our hearts
are humble and our focus is on
service to Christ and his priorities.
It is in prayer that we will find
strength, guidance and hope,
regardless of the challenge or
need.

opportunities to serve as part of
the National Day of Prayer, contact Alice Click at 304-895-3590.

GAHANNA, Ohio — Alice
Click, of Mt. Alto, was a guest
speaker for the Ohio Prayer
Summit in Gahanna, Ohio, on
Saturday.
Click was commissioned last
fall as the National Day of Prayer
coordinator for the West Virginia
NDP Task Force, by Shirley
Dobson, the national leader, and
Nancy Sharman, the Eastern
chairperson. Prior to serving as
the state coordinator, Click served
with Denise Bonecutter as the
Mason County National Day of
Prayer Task Force.
The following is a summary of
Click’s presentation to a group of
coordinators from throughout
Ohio on Christian Leadership:
“For a Christian, leading begins
by following. When I think of
leadership, I first think of Jesus
Christ, who called us to follow
His example as a servant leader.
In Mark 10:45, Jesus states,
“For even the Son of Man did not
come to be served, but to serve.”
As we seek to be like Jesus, we,
too, will have a desire to serve,
not for our own gain, but out of
our love for Him and in the best
interest of others.
In the New Testament, Paul and
Peter started letters to their fellow
believers by identifying themselves as “servants of Christ.”
They understood that they could

POINT PLEASANT, W.Va. — The first luncheon
of the 2011 Lenten season will take place on Ash
Wednesday, March 9, at Trinity United Methodist
Church in Point Pleasant.

FAITH • FAMILY

God has your back
For about a week now,
on the sign board of the
Methodist church across
the street has been posted the following slogan:
... “Walk on the sunny
side of the street.”
Ironically, only a few
days after that saying
made its initial appearance this whole entire
area was afflicted with
more rain than what we
had experienced in the
past several months. If
there is something positive to be said for it, that
rain completely neutralized the very real concern of potential brushfires. (Having fought
several myself, I know
firefighters are relieved.)
Okay: brushfires no
longer are a problem;
now, we’re watching the
river and its many local
tributaries,
because
flooding is our preeminent concern. How’s that
old saying go? “If it isn’t
one thing, it’s three or
four of something else!”
An old farmer back in
Western Pennsylvania
taught me that, and it has
been my experience he
was right. More often
than not, it’s the other
guy who only has to contend with just one
“something else.” With
me, generally it’s several.
Move over Rodney
Dangerfield: I could tell
you stories that would
make you look like a
Little Lord Fauntleroy
by comparison!
Respect?!? I don’t get
none either, and why is it
that when I cross over to

Thomas Johnson
the “sunny side of the
street” the sun suddenly
shifts over to where I
just came from?!?
Besides — what were
the Methodists thinking?
Putting up the slogan
they did, which obviously favored the sun god,
so disturbed the rain
gods they retaliated with
wrath of almost Biblical
proportions! In the end,
some people were compelled to seek higher
ground.
Then,
this
past
Monday — as a run-up
to the fact tornadoes are
most likely to occur during the months of
March, April and May
— what came our way
but one of them! By the
grace of God, it seems
we “dodged the bullet”
this time. Next time
could be different.
Don’t think I’m making light of these natural
occurrences,
which
some refer to as “acts of
God.” I’m not. How well
I know such things happen, and I’m grateful the
town I grew up in is situated atop the Allegheny

Mountains — so flooding there is a physical
impossibility.
There is no river near
my wife’s hometown, so
neither will they ever
experience flooding of
the magnitude and scope
we need to deal with
here. The local creeks
overflow their banks, but
what happens there pales
in comparison to the
floods endemic to the
Ohio River Valley.
By the way: there was
a time when flooding
here was worse, by far,
than what it has been in
the recent past. Google
“Kinzua Dam” and
you’ll discover it was
built by the Army Corps
of Engineers, above
Warren, Pennsylvania,
in the early 1960s — to
control flooding on yet
another major River —
i.e., the Allegheny.
It was meant, especially, to help control the
flooding Pittsburghers
had to contend with
every year. You, too,
became indirect beneficiaries of its construction. That dam, ten miles
from my hometown,
saved a lot of “bacon”
when Hurricane Agnes
paid you all a visit, in
1972.
Only weeks before I
had helped my father lay
fifty-some feet of heavy,
twelve-inch drain tile,
which we then covered
with many, many cubic
yards of fill dirt. Agnes
dumped so much rain in
our area that everything
we had accomplished
then was washed away.

In April 1985, the
whole of Northwestern
Pennsylvania was visited by a multitude of tornadoes in the course of a
relatively short span of
time. Jill’s hometown
was spared, but in some
adjoining areas the damage was extensive.
Meanwhile, two separate tornadoes crossed
paths in a village near to
where I grew up. There,
too, the damage was
everywhere evident, and
several people were
killed. Though I didn’t
know them, I did know
many of those who suffered losses — too
many, as if that really
mattered.
One house there was
totally obliterated; nothing was left of it, except
the foundation. Next
door stood another
house; except for a few
missing shingles, it was
virtually unscathed!
My point is this: only
God knows all that life
has in store for us.
We’re not meant to
know the things God
knows; we never were.
Instead, we are to trust
God, obey God, and
allow God to be our
Guide. Just as we ourselves are blessed, let us
live to be a blessing to
others.
Walk where you will,
enjoy the sun, and keep
your head up. God has
your back!
(Rev. Thomas Johnson
is pastor of Trinity
Church in Pomeroy,
Ohio.)

Be a trash can user
While reading the
Sunday Times Sentinel
last weekend, an article
in the sports section
caught my eye. It was
an article written by Jim
Freeman, who is the
wildlife specialist for
the Meigs Soil and
Water
Conservation
District. He wrote a
compelling article entitled “Litterbugs the
Biggest of Pet Peeves,”
in which he rued the
extensive and evident
disregard of litterbuggers who thoughtlessly
discharge their refuse
along our roadways and
waterways. Jim made
me chuckle as he wrote
he wished he had
“installed the Acme
vehicle-mounted rocket
launcher in my jeep”
when espying someone
throw a cup out of their
car.
Acknowledging
thankfully Jim’s distinctive lead, I add my
two cents-worth to the
trash talk.
Several years ago, I
had an opportunity to
talk to a certain elementary school group. It
was on my heart to
teach the ethic of good
citizenship by being a
trash can user. When
one makes trash, be
thoughtful enough to
find a trash can and
place the trash in it, I
wanted to communicate. In the process of
preparing
thoughts

Ron Branch
about it, the Lord
brought to mind some
lyrics to which I wrote
with a rap beat in mind.
I entitled it “Trash
Talk,” and it went like
this:
“A-stomp
and-a
smash and-a put that
trash in a can, Man, I
can, Man.
A-stomp and-a smash
and-a put that trash in a
can Man, I can, Man.
If a can’s not around
I’ll not throw it on the
ground till a can, Man, I
find, Man.
I promise not to hock
it cause I’ll put it in my
pocket till a can, Man, I
find, Man.
With my bubble gum
a-wrappers, and my
pop-a-top a-poppers,
And my styrofoam acuppers, and my cracker-dacker packers,
And my double-burger binders, and my
lippy-dippy wipers,
With my creamy
Twinkie pinkies will I
A-stomp and-a smash
and-a put my trash in a

can, Man, I can, Man.
A-stomp and-a smash
and-a put my trash in a
can, Man, I can, Man.
Trash Talk!”
Look around us. It is
indeed an irritating matter to see so much trash
lying in plain view.
Why is there so much
litter on our highways?
Why is there so much
litter floating in the
Ohio River? Why is
there so much litter left
under
our
school
bleachers after our kids
finish playing their
games? Part of the
problem is that people
are too inconsiderate to
use a trash can.
Regardless of situation
or circumstance, good
citizens search for and
step to the trash cans,
and, there, give their
trash proper disposal.
We know well how
the Bible teaches that
God created the earth.
At the end of every day
of creation, the Bible
says, “God saw that it
was good.” We have no
problem with understanding that point quite
clearly. When it comes
to this earth, God created it beautifully. “The
firmament showeth His
handywork
(Psalms
19:1).
But,
there
accompanies God’s creation
the
inherent
understanding that we
take care of it. “And the
Lord took the man, and

put him into the garden
of Eden to dress it and
to keep it” (Genesis
2:15).
Part of remedying litterbugging is to teach
the little buggers in the
home not to become litterbuggers.
Parents
should be pro-active in
emphasizing to their
children to be good citizens as it involves
being trash can users.
Teaching the kids is not
only important, but parents leading by example
are important, too.
It prevails upon all of
us, therefore, to practice a type of personal
responsibility to keep
our litter properly contained. Packaging products and the eventual
consumption of goods
most certainly produces
trash. But that does not
mean that we have to be
trashy about it. God forbid that we should be a
trashy society.
In the mean time, I
would like to ask Jim if
he would dismount his
Acme rocket launcher
long enough to let me
use it on a certain coon
which recently is littering our backyard with
the trash we put in our
trash cans. Coons that
get into our trash are a
pet peeve of mine, too.

pastor of Faith Baptist
Church in Mason,
W.Va.)

God’s original intent
Have you ever been misunderstood? I’m sure you
have. Have you ever misunderstood somebody’s message? I’m sure you have, just
like I have. Even worse, have
you ever misunderstood
someone whom you’ve
known for years, including
those closest to you?
Often times we misunderstand a person’s message or
what they say simply because
we do not understand their
motive or their intent for saying what they said.
Have you noticed that
some people misunderstand what your friend
said simply because they
do not know who your
friend is or what his/her
intentions were for saying what they said? This
is a very important element for understanding
God’s original purpose or
intent for our lives as
well as for His creation.
Intent can be defined as
“original or initial purpose.”
It is more important for us to
know what a person intended, than to know what he or
she said. If we do not properly discern intent, misunderstanding will be the
agenda of the day, which
will result in wrong judgments and wrong decisions
and choices.
Because we (mankind)
have misunderstood God’s
original intent for His creation,
we have misunderstood not
only ourselves, but also God’s
purpose for us on earth.
Understanding God’s original purpose for His creation
is a very important part of the
life of the Believer in order to
be able to have a purposeful
and victorious faith-walk.
You might ask: “How can
we possibly know God’s
original intent? Intent is
only found in the heart of
man, so how can we know
the heart of God?”
I’m glad you asked! I don’t
have enough room in this
article to explain all the
details of the hundreds of
scriptures found in the Bible
alone that describes God’s
heart. But suffice it to say,
that the Bible does speaks
and demonstrates God’s love
for man and His purpose for
sending Jesus to die for
humanity. Moreover, God’s
plan was designed from the
beginning of creation.
Furthermore, the Bible
tells us that “…we have
the mind of Christ.” (1
Cor. 2:16). Jesus also
said in Matthew 12:34
that “out of the abundance
of the heart, the mouth
speaks.” Whatever is in the
heart is what is in the mind.
The mind then sends information to the brain and the
brain begins to reason and

Alex Colon
do the work the brain is
designed to do.
1 Cor. 2:16 reads this
way in the original Greek.
“We have and are having
the mind of Christ.”
Meaning, that we have and
continue to develop the
mind of Christ. In other
words, to be able to think,
reason with right intentions
and a process thought like
Jesus did and does with
purpose.
Therefore, if we have
the mind of Christ, then
that means that we can
have a conscious glimpse
of what God’s intents are.
But this refers more to the
present as well as the
future. But as we all know,
in order to understand the
future, as to where you are
going, you must have a
reference point which is
the past. As a matter of
fact, God knows, declares
and plans the future from
the past/present; He then
goes back to the past/present and goes to work His
original intent.
By looking at the
Bible, we can see God’s
initial intent for mankind.
This liberating truth frees
us from trying to get
God’s attention to give us
favor, and begin to
believe and walk in that
favor God has already
established for His own.
Most religions focus on
trying to get God’s attention,
which is the wrong
approach. Have you tried to
get God’s attention, instead
of trying to discover His
intention? If you haven’t
start yet, I encourage you to
begin to discover God’s
intentions through a personal relationship with God and
you will begin to realize that
you have His undivided
attention when Faith is activated and working in your
life as you walk by faith and
not by sight. Religion misunderstands God’s intent,
but Relationship discovers
and experiences His original
purpose for mankind.
Make it a God-Intended
Day!

Performers invited to sing in Easter Cantata 2011

Too short to fall in love

Submitted photo
A total of 50 singers made up last yearʼs choir for the Mason County Community Easter Cantata.

POINT PLEASANT —
Practice has begun for the
annual Mason County
Community
Easter
Cantata. As always, choir
members from all over
Mason County and the
surrounding areas are
invited to participate. This
past Christmas, a total of
50 singers from over 20
different local churches
performed. And coordina-

tors are hoping to double
that number for 2011.
The piece is entitled,
“Savior” and is created by
David Moffitt, Sue C.
Smith,
and
Travis
Cottrell. It is a praise and
worship cantata, and as
such, it invites audience
participation. Whether
you participate as a singer
or come to hear it when
it’s presented, you will be

blessed.
The practices are each
Monday at 7 p.m. at Main
Street Baptist Church in
Point Pleasant. The performances will be at Main
Street
Baptist
on
Saturday, April 16 and
Sunday, April 17, which
is Palm Sunday Weekend.
Larry Jones of Main
Street Baptist Church,
director, invites you to

participate. If you would
like a part, it only takes a
commitment to buy a
book and attend no less
than four scheduled practices. There are just six
practices left. The books
are $10. If you contact
Larry ahead of time, you
may reserve one. You may
purchase or order them
through Willa’s Bible
Bookstore yourself.

Fishing and hunting permits on sale
COLUMBUS — Ohio’s
2011-12 fishing, hunting
and trapping licenses and
permits are on sale now,
according to the Ohio
Department of Natural
Resources
(ODNR),
Division of Wildlife.
“Some agents have
decided not to continue to
sell licenses and others
have decided to join as
authorized license sales
agents. Don’t assume the
place where you bought
your license last year is
still selling them.” said
Vicki Mountz, acting
chief of the Division of
Wildlife. “Visit wildohio.com to check the list
of current license agents
or purchase your license
online.”
Licenses
purchased
online or at a retail outlet
will be printed on 8-1/2 x

11 paper that can be folded down to credit card
size. Licenses and permits
will appear on the left
hand side of the document
and the remaining column
space will be printed with
information relevant to
the license or permit purchased. License paper
will not be waterproof
and must be protected.
Each license buyer
must have a Social
Security Number (SSN)
recorded in the system.
Sportsmen and women
who have purchased
licenses in the past and
who provided an Ohio driver’s license will most
likely be unaffected. Youth
hunters and those hunters
that have never had a driver’s license swiped during the license buying
process must provide their

SSNthe first time they purchase a license in the new
licensing system.
SSNs are required to
purchase a recreational
license, regardless of age,
for the purpose of child
support collection enforcement under Federal
Statute 42. As a recreational license provider, the
Division of Wildlife is
obligated to comply with
this law, and cannot issue a
license or permit without
the SSN of the purchaser.
The division will see that a
proper security system is
in place to protect SSNs
and any databases that
contain them.
The new Web-based
license and game check
system incorporates better management and
integration of license
sales information, hunter

education, controlled
hunt allocations, arrest
report tracking, and
automated game check
processes — all in real
time.
Licenses and permits
can be purchaseD online
at wildohio.com and at
hundreds of agent outlets throughout the state.
The license will be valid
March 1, 2011through
Feb. 29, 2012. The 201011 licenses expired Feb.
28, 2011. A complete list
of participating license
sales agents can be
found at wildohio.com.

Dear Dr. Brothers: I’m
hoping you can help me.
I’m a 26-year-old male
who is quite satisfied with
life, but I just can’t seem to
get into any kind of relationship. I suspect that it
has something to do with
my height. I’m 5 feet 6
inches, and never really
thought of myself as short,
until a friend pointed out
how girls always want
someone taller than them.
I guess I had really good
self-esteem until then!
What’s a short man to do
these days? I need my
mojo back. — F.R.
Dear F.R.: Your friend
may have been trying to be
helpful, but guess what?
He wasn’t even correct.
The old-fashioned views
about the guy being big
and strong and the girl
being petite and weak no
longer apply! Just look
around you — there are
many couples these days
that consist of tall girls and
short guys, and notice how
many of these taller
women are wearing high
heels as well! So whether
you date someone taller or
shorter than you, or the
same height, is very much
a function of personal
preference.
I needn’t point out all
the world leaders and leading men who were or are
altitude-challenged. So
you may as well stop
thinking that your lack of
social success has anything to do with your
height. Work on meeting
lots of people and letting
your great personality
shine through. If you find
a girl you like, ask her out.
There’s no way to guess
whether your height will
be a factor, but you can do
everything in your power
to make it less likely. And
don’t forget, there are
going to be women out
there who really dig a
shorter guy. So the sky’s

Dr. Joyce Brothers
the limit when it comes to
looking for love.
•••
Dear Dr. Brothers: My
best friend from college is
planning on visiting my
husband and me next year.
We haven’t seen each
other in ages, and I’m really looking forward to
being with her. The problem is, we were kind of
more than just best friends.
The last two years of college, we were romantically
involved. I have a family
now, and I know she doesn’t. I’m not really worried
about us messing around,
but I feel I’ll be keeping
something from my husband. Do I tell? — J.C.
Dear J.C.: Can you say
“can of worms”? Or shall
we call it opening
Pandora’s box? In any
case, if you had a two-year
same-sex romantic relationship with someone and
are now married to someone who doesn’t have a
clue, you’ve already been
keeping something from
your husband. The question now is whether to deal
with your past, or let it
always be a deep, dark
secret. Most couples have
shared some information
about past lovers when
they take a step as serious
as marriage, but if they
don’t share that — or if
there haven’t been past
lovers — they are doing
what makes them most
comfortable as a couple.

RedStorm
advance to
MSC semis
BY MARK WILLIAMS
SPECIAL TO THE SENTINEL

FRANKFORT, Ky. —
The University of Rio
Grande
RedStorm
women’s basketball team
won its first ever MidSouth Conference tournament
game
on
Thursday afternoon in
the MSC Tournament
quarterfinals at the
Farnham Dudgeon Arena
inside the Frankfort
Convention Center by
the score of 74-61 over
the University of the
Cumberlands.
Rio Grande (19-12),
the No. 5 seed in the
tournament, used a
strong start, nailing eight
of its first 11 shots in the
game to take control of
the game. Rio led 22-11
and held the lead at double digits for the majority
of the contest.
Rio would take a 39-29
lead to halftime.
The RedStorm went
over four minutes without scoring to begin the
second half, but the
Patriots could not take
advantage. After the initial drought, Rio steadily
increased the lead in the
second half, getting it as
high as 19 points at 6748.
Senior guard and AllMSC selection Jenna
Smith led four Rio players in double figures with
18 points and grabbed six
rebounds. Senior forward
Leah Kendro followed
Smith with 16 points for
the RedStorm. Junior
guard Kaylee Helton finished with 12 points and
nine rebounds, while
senior point guard Bre
Davis scored 11, handed
out five assists and pulled
down four rebounds.
Cumberlands (16-15),
the No. 4 seed in the
tournament,
playing
without the services of
injured All-MSC performer Lauren Wombles,
was paced by Samantha
Coleman’s game-high 20
points. Ida Gustafasson
scored 10 and pulled
down 14 rebounds to lead
the Patriots to a 48-42
advantage on the glass.
Rio cooled off after the
sizzling start and ended
the game shooting 42.9
percent (27-of-63) from
the field and 29.2 percent
(7-of-24) from long
range. Cumberlands was
cold from the field,
shooting 26-of-73 (35.6
percent) and 3-of-18
(16.7 percent) from
beyond the three-point
arc.
“We live another day,”
said Rio Grande head
coach David Smalley. “I
thought in the last two
games of the regular season we didn’t have the
emotion and energy that
we needed. Today, I think
our players re-found that
and did a nice job.”
“Of
course
Cumberlands is a very,
very good ballclub, wellcoached and they were
without
their
star,
Wombles and that certainly would have made a
difference in the game,”
Smalley added. “You’ve
got to live in the moment
and this was the moment
and I thought our kids
played really well.”
The RedStorm take the
series season two games
to one over the Patriots.
Rio Grande advances
to the MSC semifinals on
Saturday at 2 p.m.
against the winner of No.
1 seed and NAIA No. 4
Campbellsville and No. 8
seed St. Catharine.
Rio lost both games
versus Campbellsville
during the regular season
and
defeated
St.
Catharine in both matchups.

Southern’s win came on
February 8 by a score of
55-41.
Southern scored first in
Wednesday’s game, taking a 2-0 lead at the 7:35
mark of the first quarter
on a basket by Ethan
Martin. The Tomcats
quickly tied the game at
the 7:12 mark and took
their first lead nine seconds later.
Trimble
would not trail again in
the first quarter. An 11-0
run over a six minute
span gave Trimble its
largest lead of the game
(11-2) at the 1:30 mark of
the
first
quarter.
Southern would score 11
of the next 14 points to
cut the Trimble lead to
one (14-13) just 26 seconds into the second
quarter on a Zach
Manuel two pointer.
Southern took its first
lead since 2-0 at the 1:57
mark of the second quarter by a score of 20-19 on
a Martin two pointer.
The lead would be short
lived, as Trimble scored
five straight points to
take a four point lead, 2420. Southern cut the
deficit back to two on a
Nathan Roberts field
goal just before the half.
The Tomcats and
Southern exchanged baskets in the early portion
in the third quarter, with
the lead going back and
forth from two to four
points. A 7-0 run by the
Purple and Gold gave
Southern a three point
lead (33-30) at the 3:37
mark of the third quarter.
Southern would not
trail again. A 7-1 run
gave the Tornadoes a 4031 lead at the end of the
third quarter. Trimble
scored the first points of
the fourth quarter, but a
three-point goal by
Andrew Roseberry put
the Tornadoes on top by
10 at the 7:03 mark of the
fourth quarter. Trimble
pulled back to within five
(48-43) at the 3:27 mark
of the final quarter, but
would get no closer.
Southern closed the
game on an 11-3 run —
eight of the 11 points
came from free throws
— to earn the 59-46 victory.
“The kids really wanted it bad,” commented
Caldwell. “We graduated a lot of guys from last
year — a lot of good
players — that (a return
to districts) was just
something at the beginning of the season that
was a goal for them. If
we could get back to the
Convo with basically a
whole new team — with
not much experience —
it would be a great opportunity for us.”
Ryan Taylor paced the
team with 17 points —
including five three-point
goals.
Andrew
Roseberry earned a double-double with 16 points
and 11 rebounds — five
offensive
rebounds.
Zach Manuel scored nine
points, Marcus Hill
added eight points, Ethan
Martin and Nathan
Roberts each had four
points, and Adam Pape
added one point.
Tyler Davis scored a
game-high 22 points for
the Tomcats.
Noah
Guthrie added 11 points,
Cyrus Jones scored six

Davis delivered another outstanding season,
posting 10.7 points and
4.1 rebounds per game.
She is one of the top distributors in the league and
the NAIA with 163
assists for the season.
Helton is the team’s
third leading scorer at
15.4 points per game and
is the team’s leading
rebounder at 6.7 per contest. She, along with
Smith and Kendro all
eclipsed the 1,000-career
point total this season.
Smith, Kendro and
Davis were also MSC
All-Academic
team
award winners as well.
Fellow seniors Ashley
Saunders and guard
Brandi Unger and sophomore
guard
Iliana
Gonzalez were also
selected to the MSC AllAcademic team.
Rio Grande head coach
David Smalley felt good
for Smith in earning AllMSC honors again this
season. “We’re excited
for Jenna Smith, we’re
really proud of her being
chosen for one of the 10
all-conference awards,”
Smalley said. “Bre Davis,
we were a little frustrated
last year that Bre didn’t
get anything and Bre has
worked extremely hard
and to me is one of, if not
the best point guard in the
conference.”
“We’re proud of her for
achieving
honorable
mention,”
Smalley
added. “Kaylee Helton
has had a great year,
scored her 1,000th point
this year. She got some
respect from some of the
coaches to garner honorable mention as well and
then Leah Kendro, who
was all-conference last
year, had a great year and
was awarded with honorable mention.”
“Had we had a better
overall record and finished higher, then we
may have gotten a little

more respect, maybe
some of those honorable
mentions would have
been
all-conference,”
Smalley said. “I’m
extremely proud of them,
pleased with our team
awards and proud of our
players for focusing and
keeping that consistency
in the classroom and on
the court.”
Rio Grande completed
the regular season with
an overall record of 18-12
and went 9-9 in the MSC,
finishing in 5th place for
the second straight year.
There were 46 members on the all-academic
team. To qualify for the
MSC All-Academic team
a student-athlete must be
a sophomore, junior or
senior and carry a minimum 3.25 grade point
average.
“The academic awards
that the University of Rio
Grande came through
with, we had six players
and all five of our seniors
(were on the team),” said
Smalley. “They had anywhere from a 3.28 up to a
3.8 cumulative GPA and
that’s just phenomenal.”
“To me it’s staggering
that they keep that type of
focus in the classroom
and still do what they
have done on the basketball court,” Smalley
added. “We’re extremely
proud of those young
ladies.”
Rio Grande is the No. 5
seed at the MSC
Tournament and will face
No. 4 seed Cumberlands
on Thursday afternoon at
2 p.m. at the Frankfort
Convention Center.
“Right now everybody
is undefeated and there’s
no reason why we can’t
turn those (MSC) awards
into motivation and go
out and play extremely
well
against
Cumberlands and then
the
winner
of
Campbellsville and St.
Catharine (on Saturday),”
Smalley said. “Hopefully
that will be the catalyst
that we need to get us

four points and Jacob
Hooper had three points.
Davis was a key to
Trimble’s first half success — scoring 11 first
half points — but was
held to just two in the
third quarter. “Andrew
Roseberry has been a guy
that you usually put on
someone that is a good
offensive player like
that,” Caldwell said of
Davis. “They’re a good
team. Guthrie inside is
hard to handle, and
they’ve got some good
players. I thought our
kids battled and did what
they had too. It wasn’t
pretty, but they battled
and did what they had too
and got the win.”
Manuel — the lone
Southern senior —
pulled down 11 rebound
to match Roseberry,
Martin had six, Hill
added five, Roberts had
three and Taylor added
two. As a team, the
Tornadoes outrebounded
Trimble 38-23, including
16-5 on the offensive
end. Hooper led Trimble

in rebounds with seven.
Southern also had more
assists (16-14) and steals
(6-2) than Trimble.
Taylor led the team in
assists
with
five,
Roseberry added four,
Martin, Hill and Manuel
each had two, and
Roberts had one. Martin
had two steals, while
Roseberry, Taylor, Hill
and Manuel each had
one.
The Tornadoes were
21-48 from the field for
43.8 percent and shot
44.4 percent (8-18) from
three-point
range.
Trimble was 19-55 from
the field for 34.5 percent
and went 4-16 for 25 percent from three-point
range. Southern was 917 at the free throw line
for 52.9 percent, while
Trimble was 4-8 for 50
percent.
Southern will face
Manchester on Thursday

Four Turns
SPORT Trevor Bayne,
1 AtheHUMBLING
20-year old surprise winner of

the Daytona 500, endured a far different weekend in Phoenix. Bayne
finished 31st in the Nationwide and
40th in the Cup races, wrecking out
in both races. He finishing 10th
(NNS) and first (Cup) in Daytona.
TRADE YA Two-time NASCAR Cup
Series champion Tony Stewart and
2008 Formula-1 titlist Lewis Hamilton will switch seats this summer.
Although it has not been announced
exactly when or where, it’s expected
that the two — each sponsored by
Mobil 1 — will give the others’ machine a spin around Watkins Glen International. The cars will be
race-ready, but the exhibition will be
just that, with no competition on
track.
SO FAR, SO GOOD NASCAR’s 2011
overnight television ratings are up
13 percent over last season’s first
two broadcasts and one percent
over the 2009 numbers. Competition from the 2010 Winter Olympics
and a rain-shortened Daytona 500
in ’09 may have contributed to a
decrease in ratings.
SCHEDULING MADNESS Following
the Cup Series’ stop in Las Vegas, it
will have an off weekend before returning in Bristol. It then runs for
five straight weeks before another
break. Starting with the Richmond
race on April 30, the series will run
12 consecutive events before the
final off weekend. It then embarks
on a 17 consecutive-race odyssey
that takes it to the season finale in
Homestead, Fla.

Highs &amp; Lows
KYLE BUSCH “Rowdy” has picked up
where he left off at the end of 2010.
Busch won the Truck and Nationwide
races at Phoenix. He led wire-to-wire in
the Nationwide event, a feat not
achieved in NASCAR’s three touring
series in nearly eight years.
BRIAN VICKERS Out the majority of last season with blood
clots, Vickers’ comeback hasn’t
been of the storybook variety. Finishes of 31st and 30th, throwing a
competitor under the bus for a wreck
that wasn’t his fault and being the featured subject of a piece in Rolling Stone
magazine that talked more booze and
sleeze than horsepower and speed ...
sometimes any press is good press, other
times not so much.

Just off the lead pack:
Trevor Bayne

Hard to argue with eighth- and second-place runs to kick off a new season. Now he heads to his
home track in Las Vegas, where he won in 2009.
Looked to have the car to beat in Phoenix, but that’s why they run 500 miles — actually, 500
kilometers, for some reason. He’ll be a handful in Vegas.
Fifth- and eighth-place finishes have been effective, not flashy. He sits just behind brother Kyle atop
the point standings.
With the “monkey-off-my-back” win out of the way, Gordon and crew chief Alan Gustafson can go
about racking up a handful more — and it’s a safe bet they will.
Mr. Five Time follows up a disappointing Daytona with a fitting Phoenix, where he got back to
business by finishing third.
Like Johnson, Harvick put Daytona behind him, rolled up his firesuit sleeves and went about
scoring a top 5 in Phoenix to set the earth back on its axis.
He’s so close, but just can’t close the deal. At Daytona he lost the draft, at Phoenix a two-tire stop
when others took four burned him. This is not a good time for Smoke to be going to Vegas.
Martin and new crew chief Lance McGrew aren’t on the Gordon/Gustafson level yet, but they’re
close, and all Martin ever asks is to be put in a position to race for a win. Looks like that’s coming.
His last three visits to Phoenix have netted results of first, second and fifth. Prior to that he averaged
a 22.6-place finish in 15 starts. How do you explain that?
This team is better than its results thus far, but through two races it seems a 2010 hangover is
making it hard for Denny and the boys to get out of bed and back to racing.
His 10th-place showing at Phoenix was very encouraging. Let’s see what Vegas holds ...
Can he keep up the 10th-place average finishing position? That’s a tall order.
Very good team. Very bad luck. Clint and the boys will rebound.

Crew Chief’s Take: “As with any ‘cookie cutter’ track, downforce, track position and clean
air will all play a major role in how a team gets
around Las Vegas. It’s surprising how rough
the track is, seeing as how they just repaved
it a few years ago. Unlike the other Speedway
Motorsports tracks (other than Bristol and
Sonoma), it doesn’t have that Bruton Smith
blueprint of a tri-oval that’s squared off. When
Vegas was redesigned, they didn’t just go
back to the drawing board. It was more like
they improved the track without tearing it
completely apart.”

Jeff Gordon snaps
66-race winless skid
By MATT TALIAFERRO
Athlon Sports Racing Editor

Jeff Gordon looked and sounded
more like an unlikely 20 year-old
Daytona 500 winner than a 20-year
veteran with four titles in Phoenix
International Raceway’s Victory
Lane. But when a driver, particularly
one as decorated as Gordon, has just
snapped a 66-race winless skid,
yelling, “Pinch me man, pinch me!”
is understandable.
Charging past Kyle Busch with
nine laps remaining in the Subway
Fresh Fit 500, Gordon pulled away
from the field to the delight of the
crowded grandstands on Sunday to
record his first win since April 2009.
“I drove in easy to try to get a good
run off of two and not let him do the
swap-over,” Gordon said of the racewinning pass. “I kind of felt him on
my right side and my car got real
loose and we banged a little bit and
slipped the racetrack and my spotter
said ‘clear,’ and I drove off.”
Busch held on for second, while
Jimmie Johnson, Kevin Harvick and
Ryan Newman rounded out the top 5.
The win, Gordon’s 83rd career
Cup victory, tied him with Cale
Yarborough for fifth all-time. It was
also his first with crew chief Alan
Gustafson, whom team owner Rick
Hendrick paired with Gordon in an
extensive driver/team swap during
the offseason.
Despite leading a race-high 138
laps, the weekend was not without its
tenuous moments for Gordon and
crew. None of Hendrick Motorsports’ four entries qualified higher
than 20th, a fact that had Hendrick
worried on Saturday.
“I don’t know about them (Gordon
and Gustafson), but I was sure down
after I got off the plane yesterday afternoon (after qualifying),” Hendrick
said. “I talked to them and they said,
‘We are pretty good. We are good in
race trim, the car feels good. We just
didn’t have the speed and I think
� Forbes released its annual
list of NASCAR’s most valuable
teams last week, and once again
Hendrick Motorsports topped the
list.
Hendrick Motorsports earned
$18 million in operating income
last season with a valuation of
$350 million and revenues of $177
million. Roush Fenway Racing was
a distant second on the list, with a
valuation of $224 million and revenues of $140 million. Richard
Childress Racing, Joe Gibbs Racing and Penske Racing completed
the top-5 most valuable NASCAR
teams.

Dale Earnhardt Jr. as NASCAR’s

we’ll be OK today.’”
While they did have the speed,
Gordon thought they were a far cry
from OK when he was involved in
an accident on Lap 60. However, the
damage turned out to be largely cosmetic, and once racing resumed, the
car picked up where it left off, slicing
through the field.
“I thought we were done,” Gordon
said of the wreck. “When I hit the
wall, I hit it hard over there, when
Carl (Edwards) had his problems and
just went in him outside of (turn)
three and he just drifted up — not his
fault, I think he had a left front tire go
down or something — and put us in
the wall and I thought we were done.
“I came into pit road and Alan orchestrated those guys fixing it and he
said, ‘No, man, I think it looks all
right.’ They dropped the green and it
felt OK.”
A 14-car melee littered the backstretch on the ensuing restart, but 11
laps after the clean up was complete,
Gordon sprinted to the lead for the
first time.
“We only made a half-lap and they
wrecked on the back straightaway
and they all came to pit road and we
were sitting there like fourth. And
then we drove up, took the lead or
something not too far after that and I

was like, ‘Wow, this is (an) unbelievable sequence of events and turnaround.’ And I knew at that time, we
had a car that could win.”
Getting the win came down to a
restart after the event’s eighth caution period with 22 laps remaining.
Tony Stewart led the field to green
with Busch at his side and Gordon in
arrears. Busch, with two fresher tires
than Stewart, quickly jumped out to
a sizable lead. But Gordon’s machine
proved to be at its best in crunch
time. Moving up to Busch’s bumper,
Gordon loosened up the Toyota as
the two raced out of Turn 4 and made
the decisive pass.
“All I was thinking about was
don’t make a mistake. Take advantage of him in the areas that your car
is strong and his isn’t and that’s what
I did and I was able to get to him and
I got to him off of four and he slipped
up a little bit and I got my nose underneath him.
“You know, the way it worked out,
I got by him way easier than I
thought that I would.”

for
the
Gordon/Gustafson combo may not
be any easier to earn as the season
unfolds, but if Sunday’s performance
is any indication, they’ll certainly be
more plentiful.

mandated that drivers must declare which series he or she will
earn points in. The winners in Daytona — Trevor Bayne (Cup), Tony
Stewart (Nationwide) and Michael
Waltrip (Truck) — were not declared “points eligible” in the
events they won, thus they were
not rewarded with a points payout
for their wins. In Phoenix, Kyle
Busch won both the Nationwide
and Truck races. Busch has declared his championship eligibility
in the Cup Series, therefore, he did
not earn points, either.
Jeff Gordon, who won Sunday’s
Cup event, is the only driver thus
far who has won a race in which
he could earn points toward a title.

� Jeff Gordon broke a 66race winless skid when he took
checkers at Phoenix. While that
streak may have been a personal
worst, it doesn’t come close to the
longest active winless streaks in
NASCAR’s Cup Series.
Among active, full-time participants, Bobby Labonte easily has
the longest skid, having gone 254
Cup races without a win. David
Gilliland ranks second (152 races),
while Paul Menard (149), David
Ragan (148) and AJ Allmendinger
(118) round out the dubious top 5.
The latter four have never won on
the Cup circuit, while Labonte, the
2000 series champion, last visited
Victory Lane in 2003.

Classic Moments
Las Vegas Motor Speedway
NASCAR’s annual trip to Sin City takes a sinister turn in the 2008 UAW-Dodge 400.
Carl Edwards and Matt Kenseth dominate the
second half of the event, and it appears the two
Roush drivers will settle the race between
them. However, Kurt Busch’s hard crash —
Tony Stewart had suffered the same violent impact earlier in the day — bunches up the field
for a five-lap shootout led by Edwards.
On the restart, second-place Dale Earnhardt
Jr. spins the tires, allowing Jeff Gordon and Matt
Kenseth to drive past. When Gordon washes up
the track in Turn 2, they make contact, sending
Gordon’s car hard into the inside wall.
Edwards goes on to the win, but is found to
have a detached oil lid cover in post-race inspection. The win stands, but Edwards is
docked 100 points for the infraction.

Athlon Fantasy Stall
Looking at Checkers: Jimmie Johnson and
Chad Knaus like to pile up a couple wins early
so they can test during the summer, thus the
four wins in nine starts.
Pretty Solid Pick: Matt Kenseth always factors, regardless of who’s on the pit box.
Good Sleeper Pick: If not for a vicious wreck
in ’08, Jeff Gordon
would have six
straight top-six runs.
Runs on Seven
Cylinders: Juan
Pablo Montoya. You’ve
been warned.
Insider Tip: Hendrick
and Roush typically jump
out of the
gate fast
once the boys
leave Daytona.
