Weather FRIDAY, OCTOBER 14, 2011 www.mydailysentinel.com Rutland to proceed with Merchants look to the $300K grant application By Brian J. Reed BReed@mydailysentinel. com RUTLAND — The first public hearing on an application for grant funding for improvements in Rutland has been scheduled for next week. Village council there will work with the county grants adminstrator in seeking up to $300,000 in money for a project still to be determined. Meigs County Grants Coordinator Jean Trussell met with council to suggest that Rutland apply for funding through the Community Development Block Grant program. Up to $300,000 could be available, at a 50 percent match. Trussell told council it is very possible to come up with match money and that other villages in the county have received the grant in the past. The funding would begin in the fall of 2012, Trussell said and the projects involved would need to be completed within two years. There are many dif- ferent applicable projects and Trussell gave council information to help outline the different types of projects that might be allowed. Trussell said that public input is necessary to decide what type and how many projects to apply for and that there would need to be three public meetings. Council set the first for 7 p.m. Oct. 18 at the civic center. Council President Abe Grueser presided at the meeting in the absence of Mayor Lowell Vance. In other business, council approved a contractual agreement with Susan Baker, to serve as the fiscal officer and mayor’s court clerk for the village, at a rate of $15 per hour. Police Chief Steve Williams told council he would be attending a law enforcement conference in Columbus this month, and council approved sharing the cost of travel expenses with the village of Coolville to allow Williams’ attendance.

I Submitted photo POMEROY — American Electric Power has asked the Ohio Department of Natural Resources Division of Wildlife to begin cracking down on those who illegally hunt on the power company’s property. While approximately 90,000 acres of AEP-owned land are currently open to sportsmen and women, not all AEP properties are open to the public. “The name AEP has become synonymous with public land in southeastern Ohio, but not all the land they own is open for public hunting,” stated District Four Law Enforcement Supervisor Tom Donnelly. “Hunters need to confirm that the AEP property they plan to hunt is open. Hunting without permission on AEP’s private properties has rarely been enforced, but that will change this year.” Many hunters have been using the private AEP properties for years with no repercussions, but that will no longer be the case. As a result of increased illegal activity on these private properties, AEP’s land management section has asked the Division of Wildlife to begin enforcing hunting without permission. Many of these private properties are in lease agreements with private hunting clubs, or with farmers for agricultural practices. “AEP requires their See AEP, A2 �Friday, October 14, 2011 www.mydailysentinel.com For the Record Merchants From Page A1 Charlene Hoeflich reported on plans for the annual holiday candy, cookie and craft programs hosted by the banks.

The stage and two gazebos will be decorated by Trinity, United Methodist and Sacred Heart churches again this year. persons interested in recreational activities on any public AEP properties must still obtain a free lifetime permit which can be found at various locations including the ODNR Division of Wildlife District 4 Office in Athens, or at www.aep.com/ environmental/recreation. The AEP permit is valid at the following areas: The ReCreation Lands, Poston Plant lands, Avondale Wildlife Area, Gavin Wildlife Area, and Conesville Coal Lands. These properties total approximately 90,000 acres and spread through Athens, Coshocton, Gallia, Meigs, Morgan, Muskingum, Noble, and Perry Counties. ATV’s are not allowed on the areas, and many of the same rules apply as when hunting on ODNR owned lands. In Ohio, hunting without permission is a misdemeanor of the third degree on the first offense, with a maximum penalty of a $500 fine and up to 60 days in jail. Any subsequent hunting without permission offenses would be charged as misdemeanors of the second degree with a maximum penalty of a $750 fine and up to 90 days in jail. AEP From Page A1 lease holders to purchase liability insurance and enter into a written contract,” stated Brian Cox, a forester with AEP’s land management section. “This is a relatively new process, and local sportsmen who have accessed these properties in the past should consider them equivalent to any other piece of privately-owned property.” None of the public AEP properties are affected by this increase in enforcement, and sportsmen and women who have been legally hunting these areas will not see any change. All Debt-crippled Pa. capital files for bankruptcy HARRISBURG, Pa. (AP) — Pennsylvania’s distressed capital city filed for bankruptcy Wednesday, citing “imminent jeopardy” from lawsuits related to a debt-saddled municipal incinerator and setting up a power struggle between the mayor and City Council. The federal petition for Chapter 9 bankruptcy, being sought to help Harrisburg get out from under crushing debt, listed about $458 million in creditors and claims and six pending legal actions by creditors. “The city does not have the ability to pay those money judgments or any significant portion thereof and still provide health and safety services to its citizens and other essential government servic- The Daily Sentinel • Page A2 es,” wrote Mark D. Schwartz, an attorney hired by the City Council. A spokesman for Mayor Linda Thompson, who has resisted calls for bankruptcy because of fears that it would further blemish the city’s name, said the council lacks the legal authority to seek it. “There are procedural matters the solicitor objects to, as far as how the resolution was handled, and the quote-unquote hiring of counsel,” said mayoral spokesman Robert Philbin. “The solicitor also says only the mayor, in conjunction with the solicitor, can file for bankruptcy on behalf of the City of Harrisburg.” The filing was signed by Councilwoman Susan Wilson after a 4-3 vote late Tuesday by the council to authorize it. At a news conference, Thompson said she was hiring a law firm to challenge the bankruptcy filing, which she called a “sneak attack” by council members. “I’m ashamed of the behavior, the road jams, the road blocks, the dishonest statements that keep coming out of four members’ spirits,” Thompson said. The legal move comes the week before the state Senate is expected to take up a bill, already passed by the House, that would authorize Gov. Tom Corbett to assume many of the city’s financial functions in response to the stalemate between Thompson and the council majority. 911 Oct. 11 11:20 a.m., Powell Street, dizziness; 2:29 p.m., Dead Man’s Curve, person hit by car; 6:20 p.m., Race Street, chest pain; 7:08 p.m., Mulberry Avenue, nausea; 10:17 p.m., South Fourth Avenue, dizziness.

The protesters’ response was to plan a demonstration for an hour before they are supposed to evacuate Zuccotti Park while it is cleaned with power washers Friday morning. They believe the effort is an attempt to end the protest, which triggered a movement against unequal distribution of wealth that has spread across the globe. Protest spokesman Patrick Bruner sent an email to supporters Thursday asking them to join the protesters at 6 a.m. Friday to “defend the occupation from eviction.” The owner, Brookfield Properties, earlier handed out a notice to protesters saying they would be allowed back in the park after the cleanup if they abide by park regulations. The notice lists regulations including no tents, no tarps or sleeping bags on the ground, no lying on benches and no storage of personal property on the ground. All those practices have been common at the park, where protesters have lived, slept and eaten for nearly a month. “They’re going to use the cleanup to get us out of here,” said Justin Wedes, 25, a part- time public high school science teacher from Brooklyn. “It’s a de facto eviction notice.” Police officers escorted representatives of the company as the notices were passed out to demonstrators. The notice from Brookfield Properties stated that the 12-hour, section-by-section cleaning is slated to begin at 7 a.m. and is part of daily upkeep, and that conditions have deteriorated in recent weeks because that upkeep was put on hold by the protesters. There was a scramble of activity Thursday afternoon as demonstrators began cleaning the park themselves. Part of the plaza was blocked off with red tape. Within that area, protesters scrubbed benches and mopped stone flooring. Some people even replanted flower beds. The self-organized sanitation team even hired a private garbage truck to pick up discarded curbside garbage and announced a storage area at the corner of the park. Protester Dylan O’Keefe, an unemployed 19-year-old from Northampton, Mass., was tying red tape marked with the word “danger” around trees. “We’re trying to clean the entire park, mobilizing everyone,” O’Keefe said. “We don’t want anyone to get hurt.” The regulations are not new — they existed prior to the occupation — but they have not been enforced until Stocks DISH Network delivers more of what you want for less than you’d expect.

Because the park is private property, police will not make arrests unless Brookfield requests assistance and laws are broken. Brookfield confirmed Thursday that the notices were passed out to demonstrators, but spokeswoman Melissa Coley would not comment on how the regulations would be enforced. “As sections of the park are cleaned, they will reopen to the public,” Brookfield said in an emailed statement. “All are welcome to enjoy the park for its intended purpose as an open neighborhood plaza, in compliance with posted rules.” Police Commissioner Raymond Kelly said police will stand by during the cleaning and ensure it proceeds peacefully. “After it’s cleaned, they’ll be able to come back, but they won’t be able to bring back the gear, the equipment, sleeping bags,” Kelly said. “That sort of thing will not be able to be brought back into the park.” Deputy Mayor Cas Holloway said in a statement Wednesday that the protest has “created unsanitary conditions and considerable wear and tear on the park.” He said Brookfield sent a letter to police asking for help to clear the park.

Visit us at www.mydailysentinel.com �Friday, October 14, 2011 www.mydailysentinel.com Ask Dr. Brothers Co-worker has crush Dear Dr. Brothers: I’m happily married, but recently I started working with an older man, whom I really admire. He’s also taken a liking to me, and we work fairly closely on a daily basis. My husband travels a lot for business, and I found myself thinking about my co-worker the other day in romantic terms. I would never act on this, and he knows I’m married, but I still feel horribly guilty. Is it just plain wrong to have a crush on my co-worker if I’m married? — C.A. Dear C.A.: The fact that you know you will not act on these feelings, and that you feel guilty for even thinking about it, signals that you’re probably not at real risk of having an affair. But on the other hand, this might be an early warning sign that something is going on that is taking the excitement out of your marriage. Before things progress further with this co-worker, you owe it to yourself to take a look at your marriage and try to identify whether there’s something you’re unsatisfied with, and then go about trying to address those weak points. While there’s no harm in fantasizing about a romantic tryst with someone other than your husband (married men and women do it all the time), you don’t want to put yourself in the position that this ever might come true. You should talk to your husband about anything you identify — whether it’s his travel schedule or some- Dr. Joyce Brothers thing else — but you can spare him the gory details of your so-called crush. Think about the level of honesty and communication you would want from him in a similar situation, and try to follow the golden rule: You don’t want to do anything with this co-worker that you wouldn’t want your husband doing with another woman. If you can work through your problems, this crush will likely pass as easily as it came, and your marriage will only be stronger for it. Dear Dr. Brothers: My husband and I have always been conscious of protecting the environment and being green, but now that we have kids, it seems harder and harder. We’re constantly rushed and looking for convenience, but I want to teach my kids that protecting the environment and interacting with nature are important. What are some easy ways I can integrate these lessons into our family’s daily activities and show my kids the value of conservation? — L.R. Dear L.R.: The best way to teach your kids this kind of lesson is to integrate conservation and environmental awareness into your everyday life, and then take the opportunity to point out why you are doing the things you do for the environment. First, include your kids in simple things that you may already do — using high-efficiency light bulbs, bringing your own bags to the supermarket or composting. It’s great if your kids take these things as normal, but you also should explain why it’s important that you make the choices you do. Keep the explanations appropriate to their level of understanding, but try to get the basic concepts across. There also are other, more active ways that you can teach your children to respect the environment and nature. One is simply by exposing them to natural environments, whether it’s an after-school trip to a park or a weekend away in the woods. You also can include your kids by planting a garden. Kids love getting dirty, and gardening can be a rewarding and meaningful way for your kids to interact with the natural world — especially if you can help them remember to water and care for their plants so that they thrive. If you can identify an environmental issue that your kids are particularly interested in, take the time to sit down and write a letter to your local congressperson or senator to show that you care. (c) 2011 by King Features Syndicate Campus Pride, who said asking applicants about sexual orientation should be as common as questions about race and ethnicity. His group pushed for adding the question to The Common Application — a uniform document used by more than 450 colleges and universities, including some of the nation’s most exclusive — but that group’s board of directors rejected the idea earlier this year. Schools already had other ways to signal support for LGBT students and for students to indicate their sexual orientation, said Rob Killion, executive director of The Common Application. What’s more, some admissions officers and high school counselors worried the question could cause anxiety for some students, even though it would be optional. “I think places like Elmhurst will be the vanguard,” said Killion. “It will be good to get feedback from their applicants on whether the question is appealing or not. We’re constantly changing as a society, so we’ll see what happens.” Rold said Elmhurst, affiliated with the United Church of Christ — which officially supports same-sex marriage — will use the optional question to help increase diversity at its 2,900-student campus about 15 miles west of Chicago, to ensure it has the services LGBT students need and to consider them for scholarships. The bottom line, he said, is to enrich the college experience for all students. A diverse environment is “the real world,” he said. The college received some complaints, including from within the conservativeleaning community and some supporters, but most feedback was positive, officials said. Elmhurst students Ally Vertigan and Emily Ponchinskas, who is president of a campus group called Straights and Gays for Equality, say they’re proud of their school. “It’s important if for the sole reason that Elmhurst is Baptists celebrate 150th anniversary MIDDLEPORT — “Days Gone By” is the theme of the celebration of the 150 anniversary of the First Baptist Church in Middleport to be held Sunday.

Cain’s status in the GOP race has risen recently, apparently fueled by his 9-9-9 tax overhaul plan. It would replace the current tax code with a 9 percent tax on personal income and corporations, and introduce a 9 percent national sales tax. He’s not considered likely to become the GOP nominee, but in recent polls has ranked as a rival for former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney, who’s seen as the front-runner. Most colleges not ready to ask about LGBT status ELMHURST, Ill. (AP) — Gary Rold didn’t necessarily consider himself a pioneer when he decided that Elmhurst College would begin asking applicants about their sexual orientation. “I thought from the recruitment standpoint we might be more proactive” in attracting gay and lesbian students, said Rold, admissions dean at the small, private liberal arts school tucked in a middle-class Chicago suburb. He also wanted to make sure the students got any help they needed. “I realized that many of them come to college feeling really isolated and alienated.” Rold’s decision touched off a flurry of publicity after advocates for gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) students lauded Elmhurst as the first in the nation to ask applicants about sexual orientation — an idea that has gotten little traction elsewhere. Now the question is, will other colleges follow suit? Advocates say that besides being a recruiting tool to help diversify campuses, openly assessing a school’s LGBT population would make colleges more aware of needs such as finding tolerant roommates and providing appropriate health care. And it would send a positive message to prospective students who may have faced discrimination in high school. But officials at other colleges, especially those that are large and well-known, say they don’t need to ask because they already have reputations for being diverse and inclusive, and a student’s sexual orientation would have no bearing on admission. Others wonder if some schools worry about the controversy such a question might generate. Nevertheless, the idea of asking about sexual orientation is not likely to go away. “Colleges have a responsibility to take care of students they admit so all can succeed academically; a lot of (LGBT) youth get to campuses … and are largely invisible,” said Shane Windmeyer, executive director of the national advocacy group The Daily Sentinel • Page A3 Ohio Briefs It’s Coming (Mark Your Calendars!)

Odds are if you have youth in your church, they have gone through more garbage than you realize. If you ask them, they have probably been approached to do drugs (generally the first time around here is about the sixth grade and they have already been approached to engage in some sort of sexual in-counter around fifth grade). This may not be right, but it is reality. Walking around with your hands over your eyes does not actually make you disappear. It just means you can’t see what is in front of you. Next week, I will cover the rest of these reasons. It is disturbing to me that these reasons exist, but I am very familiar with them. You see I began to disconnect at age 15 too. I completely left the church by my early 20s until someone showed me what authentic Christianity looks and feels like. We have to get serious and get real about these issues. We cannot allow our pride to control this very important conversation. We have to be honest and willing to be open to the guidance of the Lord Jesus Christ. Just because we have always done “Sunday School” or “youth group” that way does not mean we can continue. Our youth have spoken out, we need to listen to them. Again, next week I will cover this more. Be in prayer for our youth. Be in prayer and be open to the will of the Lord. This isn’t about a denomination or a particular church, this is about the Body of Christ. We are supposed to be the family of God and it is about time we acted like it! Carrie Wolfe is an assistant pastor at Team Jesus Ministries in Pomeroy, Ohio. Our youth are worth more than our pride If you know me, then you know my passion is for our youth. I have worked in local school districts and I have worked with several different groups ministering to teens. One thing I have learned in the past six years in particular: We are failing them, big time! Now, I don’t want to make this a negative article this week, but we have to wake up and get real about the youth in our churches (or lack of youth in our churches) and get serious about it. We have to let go of our personal preferences and be honest about the issues they face and stop trying to force our experiences on them. (Because the world you grew up in is gone. It is drastically different today.) The Barna Group (which compiles information for churches, etc.) recently released a new study. Compiled from 20072011, it targets the reasons why young people leave the church. It is an interesting study, which I cannot go into great detail here because of space, but I do urge that everyone dig deeper into this information. This is not information for just pastors or youth pastors. It is not for just Sunday School teachers, but for all of the church. We have issues which need to be addressed. Wake up, let go of your pride and see what our youth are saying. For more in-depth explanation of this study go to barnagroup.org.

Visit us online at mydailysentinel.com Your online source for news Temptation is escapable and bearable with good reason Most temptations with which we are confronted in every day life may be mostly inconsequential. These are like gusts of wind disregarded, or water off the back of a duck, or gnats that are merely brushed from the face. However, there are certain temptations that can burn hot and lay heavy on us if we are not careful. The Scripture is adamant that none of us ever get to the point in this life where we are free from all forms of temptation. So, how is it that in moments of fleshly and spiritual weakness we can successfully deny participation in something we know is contrary to God’s will for our lives? Part of the victorious overcoming as a “way to escape” is to FIND A REASON, within the context of God’s enabling, to say no when the heart and the mind are on the edge of taking that fateful leap into the lap of momentary yet sinful satisfaction. For instance, find a reason that is sufficiently convincing that yielding to temptation is not worth it in the long run. This reason is founded on the truth that sin carries definite consequences. After all, sin never brings comfort, but always brings sorrow. Sin never frees, but always binds. Sin never brings peace, but always leaves a guilty conscience. Sin never guides, but always leads to destruction. Sin never lifts burdens, but always adds greater ones. Sin never elevates, but always lowers. Sin never builds, but always destroys. It is obvious that sin just is not worth it Pastor Ron Branch Faith Baptist Church Point Pleasant, W.Va. in the long run. Furthermore, find a reason that insists there is no time to yield to temptation. Participation in many sins takes up time. Temptations confront busy, active people. Temptations confront people who organize their days. Consider that to yield to temptation to sin would waste valuable time. There have been many times that I have prayerfully responded to temptation with, “I do not have the time. It would take up too much of my time.” It is a reason that works! Find a reason that understands how disappointing it would be to your family if they would discover how you have yielded to temptation. We all bear a profound responsibility to demonstrate character and wisdom before our children. Moral stability serves as an anchor to children as they themselves wrestle with issues in their growing lives. Immorality in parents breeds disappointment and confusion in children. Furthermore, we have a profound responsibility to prove trustworthy to our spouse. It often rips the heart out of loving relationships when the investments of faith and trust are devalued by sin. There are people who depend on us to be true to God. Find a reason for family’s sake. Find a reason for your church’s sake. As a church member, everything that we do and everything that we experience affects the church. The Scripture points out that every Christian is a part of the body of Jesus Christ, and when one member suffers, so do the rest. Consequently, if we yield to the temptation to sin, we affect the church. It threatens the reputation, witness, and ministry of the church. But, above all, find a reason that considers Jesus. The Man died on the Cross for our sakes. He did something for us that we could not do for ourselves. He won for us redemption from sin that we might receive eternal life from God. And, what He asks from those of us who have received Him as personal Lord and Savior is to live life as He prescribes it in His Word. He asks that we live the quality of life that honors His name and glorifies God. Being a Christian involves a particular and peculiar quality of life which is distinctive from that of this present world system. How true will we be today to the One who has been, is, and will always be true to us? Say it with me, “Temptation is escapable and bearable with good reason.” Now, let us live it out. Search the Scriptures “…these were more noble…they searched the scriptures daily…” All facts, names of authors, and names of books in this column were gathered from www.apologeticspress.org. We urge readers to go to the website for further study. In 2006, British scientists spent about 1.8 million dollars developing an artificial stomach. The contraption is the size of a 5-gallon bucket, food enters the container through a funnel, and a computer decides how long the food stays in the bucket in order to accomplish digestion. While the artificial stomach is truly an amazing machine, it in no way compares with the stomach we humans carry within us and depend on to process food. Consider, too, the development of an artificial stomach took hundreds of thousands of hours to design and build. Yet, evolutionists want us to believe our stomach, which is superior to the artificial one, “just happened”! Now we look at the human brain. In earlier times, it was believed the brain was permanently fixed and rigid. Greater knowledge of the brain has taught us it is actually “plastic,” or flexible, and is capable of “reorganizing” itself. In Shepherd’s 1994 book, “Neurobiology,” he writes: “The inability to generate new neu- rons might imply that the adult nervous system is a static, “hard-wired” machine. This is far from the truth. Although new neurons cannot be generated, each neuron retains the ability to form new processes and new synaptic connections”(p. 222) Interestingly, since his text was printed, additional research has documented the regeneration of neurons within certain areas the brain. The cortical rearrangements that occur are not as simple as unplugging a lamp and plugging it into another socket. The changes observed by researchers indicate that if the brain were represented by a home electrical system, then many of the wires within the walls would be pulled out, rewired to different connections in different rooms, new outlets would appear, and some even would carry different voltages. The research group of Greenough and Chang identified that synapses can form, and dendrites can grow, well beyond the period of brain development. While this observation certainly is not unique to Greenough, he and his coworkers have shown most forcefully that the adult mammalian brain can add not See SEARCH, A5 �Friday, October 14, 2011 www.mydailysentinel.com The Daily Sentinel • Page A5 A Lot Loss and a Blessed Abe Best of times, worst of times The Bible says that end up paying?

Many of these studies have been carried out in rodents and primates, which clearly demonstrate that plasticity is not a trait that humans “evolved” after branching off the alleged evolutionary tree. In fact, the very presence of plasticity in lower animals begs the question of why there would be further brain evolution, since these animals already possessed the ability to rewire and reorganize brain circuitry. The brain’s “plasticity” demolishes the evolutionists’ theory that long time periods are necessary for animals, including humans, to adapt to changed environments and diet. Lastly, we look at the human eye. Charles Darwin struggled with the problem of explaining such a complex organ as the eye. He wrote, “To suppose that the eye with all its inimitable contrivances for adjusting the focus to different distances, for admitting different amounts of light, and for the correction of spherical and chromatic aberration, could have been formed by natural selection, seems, I freely confess, absurd in the highest sense (“The Origin of the Species,” 1859, p. 170). But even though Darwin acknowledged that the eye could not have evolved, he went on to argue that it had, in fact, done so! Evolutionist Robert Jastrow once wrote: “The eye is a marvelous instrument, resembling a telescope of the highest quality, with a lens, an adjustable focus, a variable diaphragm for controlling the amount of light, and optical corrections for spherical and chromatic aberration. The eye appears to have been designed; no designer of telescopes could have done better. How could this marvelous instrument have evolved by chance, through a succession of random events?” (“The Enchanted Loom: Mind in the Universe” (New York: Simon & Schuster 1981, pp. 9697). He continues, “…there seems to be no direct proof that evolution can work these miracles.…It is hard to accept the evolution of the eye as a product of chance” (ibid, pp. 101,97,98). Even evolutionists are driven to admit the wonders of the Universe, and animal life on our Planet, had a Designer.

For those of you who are familiar with the works of Charles Dickens, you will surely recall the opening line of his great novel, A Tale of Two Cities-“It was the best of times, it was the worst of times …” Those “times” pertained to the French Revolution which, as history confirms, were “over the top” in terms of the excessive violence and bloodshed perpetrated by those seeking to reform the monarchy and government of France. Think of the guillotine, the dominant instrument of death, which claimed the lives of the then-reigning King Louis XVI, and his lovely but self-centered wife, Marie Antoinette. Those were turbulent times, indeed. Not to make light of our own, but as violent as was our Revolution, which preceded that of the French by several years, we can be grateful ours accomplished what it did in a more straightforward manner. Currently, America is ailing in a two-fold manner, and ours is an affliction both economic and political in orientation and public manifestation. Nevertheless, let us not be ignorant of the concomitant spiritual changes much in evidence in the world. First, consider the state of our union: about the only thing we have in common right now is the fact we’re Americans-you and I, that is. (Presumably illegal immigrants and other non-citizens don’t read the paper(s) this is printed in, but what do I know?!?) Ensconced in the Capitol of our great nation are those we’ve elected to govern us, but even a superficial awareness of the current national news confirms the total disillusionment of a multitude of our fellow Americans with the muck- Thomas Johnson Trinity Congregational Pomeroy, Ohio a-mucks there, in Washington, D.C. As I understand the situation: the Republicans are at odds with the Democrats (this is news?!?); virtually no one external to the group appreciates its existence, or knows much about the agenda and motives of the Tea Party; lastly, President Obama most likely serves as that special someone, or “scapegoat,” others love to blame/despise/like/hate-or all the above. Presumably his wife, daughters and dog, “Bo,” love him no matter what. Whereas this general area is one of the most economically-disadvantaged in the whole of the State of Ohio, our own local economy is but a microcosm of the national, which is likewise in sad shape. Although things are bad, they’re likely to get worse before any substantial up-tick. So, what are we to do? Quite a few people-young and old alike, the unemployed and the under-employed alike-have taken to the street, literally, in cities across the nation. Their presence is meant to signal their discontent, but it’s certainly not likely to generate any real or long-lasting jobs. I never marched in pro- test against the Viet Nam War, nor did I try and destroy any part of the college campus where I was attending. I most certainly didn’t seek to draw attention to myself by burning my draft card-which, ironically, was an effective way of expediting the receipt of one’s dreaded draft notice. The higher one’s profile, the greater a target one becomes. Going public with one’s frustrations as many now are doing, literally “taking it to the streets,” is nothing new. Still, should the authorities deem it an act of civil disobedience, the more likely are such protests to entail corresponding and subsequent consequences. No one would know this better than the prototypical hippy and American philosopher, Henry David Thoreau, of Walden Pond fame. He did his own “thing” long before any of the avantgarde of the ‘60’s ever got into the act, and as others now are doing. We’re Americans indeed, but here’s a thought: are we Americans first and foremost, such that our being Christians (if we are at all) is of secondary importance? Or, is our situation that of being Christians and citizens of the Kingdom of God, and Americans secondarily? Consider the above. Just as your checkbook is a very accurate indicator of where your financial and material priorities lie, so, too, will your answer to the preceding questions reveal to you where your heart is, and how right, or not, you are with God. Indeed-He knows! Jesus said “where your treasure is, there your heart will be also” (Matt. 6:21). It’s also true that where your heart is, your treasure is too. Wherever you are, be right with God.

THEN THERE WERE EIGHT? 4 AND With Jeff Gordon’s blown engine rel- egating him to a 34th-place finish at Kansas, there are now four drivers in a nearly one-race points hole. Gordon, Dale Earnhardt Jr., Ryan Newman and Denny Hamlin are all at least 43 points out of the Chase lead and, for all intents and purposes, out of the 2011 title hunt.

Here Comes Jimmie Jimmie Johnson wins in Kansas; closes points gap By MATT TALIAFERRO Athlon Sports Racing Editor For those who have followed Jimmie Johnson’s five-year reign in the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series, his performance in the 2011 Chase for the Sprint Cup is none-too-alarming. A deceptive 10th-place run to start the playoffs, followed by an 18thplace hiccup placed the five-time defending champion in a 29-point hole out of the gate. Were fans, pundits and competitors watching and wondering intently? Of course. Were they writing off Johnson and ace crew chief Chad Knaus as afterthoughts under a new, simplified, points-format. Absolutely not. Johnson and Knaus proved why they are not to be counted out with so many miles left to go in NASCAR’s grueling 10-race Chase marathon, making statements with second- and first-place showings in the latest two events. The win — a dominating run in Sunday’s Hollywood Casino 400 at Kansas Speedway — landed Team 48 in third place in the Chase standings, a mere four points behind Carl Edwards, who has proven to be the playoffs’ most consistent driver thus far in 2011. “I don’t spend a lot of time thinking about that stuff,” Johnson said of any naysayers. “If you’re watching and reading all the headlines, you can get caught up in a lot of stuff that just really isn’t important. “I’ve known in my heart the speed that we’ve had as a race team when we were in Chicago and unfortunately finished 10th because of fuel mileage. I know we were a heck of a lot better than 18th at New Hampshire but the damage to the car put us in 18th; Dover we were strong, and then (the win) here. “Again, I don’t pay attention to that stuff that’s out there — I live in ASP, Inc. Jimmie Johnson celebrates in Victory Lane after winning the Hollywood Casino 400 at Kansas Speedway. my little world, and I know what my team is capable of. We showed today what we’re capable of when we’re all performing at the top of our game, and hopefully we can do that for six more weeks.” The praise Johnson heaped on his team was well deserved. His pit crew — at times the Achilles heel of the operation and Knaus’ target for multiple changes — was spot on throughout the day, maintaining allimportant track position. The event came down to a greenwhite-checker restart — NASCAR’s version of overtime — when Johnson’s teammate, Jeff Gordon, suffered a blown engine. The field was bunched up for what would be the deciding three laps, and Johnson wasted no time in disposing of second-place (and eventual runner-up) Kasey Kahne, on the restart and cruised to a .548-second win. Brad Keselowski was third, followed by Matt Kenseth and Edwards. Edwards had an especially eventful day, realizing just two laps into the 272-lap affair that he and crew chief Bob Osborne had missed the setup. His No. 99 team diligently Throttle Up/Throttle Down JIMMIE JOHNSON No surprise here. Johnson has consecutive finishes of second and first and has slid into third in the Chase standings, just four points out of the lead. JEFF GORDON The fourtime champ entered the Chase as one of the favorites, but runs of 24th, 12th and 34th have sunk his title hopes. The lone bright spot for Gordon in the playoffs? A fourth-place run in New Hampshire. Compiled and written by Matt Taliaferro. Follow Matt on Twitter @MattTaliaferro or email at Matt.Taliaferro@AthlonSports.com Attention race fans: Do not count Jimmie Johnson out of the Chase until he is mathematically eliminated (which probably will not happen). Thank you. That is all. Edwards’ slug-it-out third- and fifth-place finishes the last two weeks are the type of performances that championships are made of. Dare we call them “Johnson-esque?” Keep doubting. Yes, this ranking may seem high, but Keselowski has averaged a 5.8-place finish since the Brickyard 400 in late July. Pressure just doesn’t seem to affect the kid. It’s hard to proclaim that the driver sitting second in the point standings (by one point, no less) is flying under the radar, but the argument could be made for Harvick. Consecutive runs of sixth, fifth and fourth find Kenseth right in the middle of this fight. He’s already used his mulligan in a 21st-place, fuel-mileage run gone bad in Chicago, though. Smoke somehow salvaged a Chase-saving 15th-place run in Kansas, but his 25th the week prior will be the one that bites him. Not out yet, but like Kenseth, out of mulligans. Despite reasonable finishes of 11th, sixth and 11th (offset by a 22nd) in the Chase, it feels like Kyle and the boys have quietly disappeared once again in the playoffs. All the guys on this list have Kurt to thank for poking the sleeping dog, as Jimmie Johnson is once again proving that he’s the one getting in others’ heads — not vice versa. Gordon and the 24 team could still post a win and some nice numbers going forward, but at 47 points out, it’s likely they’ll go into R&D mode in preparation for 2012. It seems Bowyer’s performance has improved since it became clear to him where he’ll be driving next year, as evidenced by three runs of eighth or better in the last four races. Probably should be ranked higher after four straight top 15s, but it’s hard to trust the organization. The fact is, on a day when fuel mileage stays out of the equation, the 88 is a 12th- to 16-place car. It’s hard to pin this team down. They’re as capable — and likely — of running third as they are 27th. Consecutive ninth-place runs here. Credit him for continuing to run hard when others may not be. His drop in performance during the Chase speaks to others dogging it late in the regular season. AJ Allmendinger, Denny Hamlin, Mark Martin, David Ragan, Martin Truex Jr. n The worst kept secret in NASCAR was such a bad secret that it was considered common knowledge. So when Michael Waltrip Racing called a press conference at Kansas Speedway on Friday, it was to no one’s surprise that it was to announce the signing of Clint Bowyer to the team in 2012. Bowyer brings 5-Hour Energy as a sponsor for 24 races to the organization, where he will pilot the No. 15 Toyota for the next three seasons. In fine NASCAR press conference form, there were compliments, glad-handing and gushing galore. “This has been a very long summer, but I think for everyone involved, the best decision was made to be at Michael Waltrip Racing,” Bowyer said. “I am a big fan of 5-Hour Energy so I was really happy when they approached me about putting a deal together. “We were diligent in working through our options and finally went to work adjusting his Ford, and although they lost a lap at one point, screamed through the field late to record the top-5 finish. It was the type of effort that wins championships, though Edwards was more apt to shrug it off as good old-fashioned racing luck. “We’re lucky because we had to have luck go our way,” he said. “We had two cautions that were timed perfectly, so that was a big deal. But we’ve messed up enough in the past that I’m pretty proud of our ability to just kind of take our bad days and just keep plugging along. It’s kind of a little test when you go through something like this to see if somebody melts down or if you can kind of keep going through it, and I’m glad it worked out today, but there was a lot of luck involved, as well.” Kevin Harvick, who sits second in the point standings, was sixth. Last week’s winner, Kurt Busch, was 13th, now 16 points out of the Chase lead. Gordon, whose blown engine with three laps remaining brought out the final caution, finished 34th and fell a whopping 47 points back in the standings with six races remaining. found the right fit. I have been so impressed with what’s going on at MWR. Then when the 5-Hour Energy executives met with Michael and his people, we knew this was going to be our home.” When asked why Bowyer and 5-Hour Energy could not put together an agreement to remain at Richard Childress Racing — his current team — Bowyer’s answer was short: “We talked to Richard about it, but still couldn’t put a deal together. At that point I said, ‘OK, we’ll go somewhere else.’ That’s what ultimately led to leaving RCR. “It’s a shame. I owe a lot to Richard. I was in an auto shop in Kansas when he called me the first time. He changed my life, and I’ll always be grateful. But it was time to move on.” Bowyer joins David Reutimann and Martin Truex Jr. in the MWR stable. The organization has two Cup victories since it graduated to the Cup ranks in 2007, both by Reutimann. In six Cup Series seasons, Bowyer has four wins and three Chase appearances.

When: Saturday, Oct. 15 TV: ABC (7:30 p.m. EST) Layout: 1.5-mile quad-oval Banking/Turns: 24 degrees Banking/Straightaways: 5 degrees May Winner: Kevin Harvick Crew Chief’s Take: “The 600 in May and the 500 in October present their own set of unique challenges. Varying track conditions and temperature shifts at each race add to the fact that each end of the track is significantly different from the cockpit. The challenge becomes adapting, and particularly in the case of the Coca-Cola 600, the races are really long there. The key is to survive the early stages, when the sun is out, and be in position to battle for the win at night. Horsepower is a necessity, as is engine durability, particularly in the 600, when the distance puts an added strain on the equipment.” NATIONWIDE SERIES Race: Dollar General 300 Miles of Courage Track: Charlotte Motor Speedway When: Friday, Oct. 14 TV: ESPN2 (7:30 p.m. EST) May Winner: Matt Kenseth CAMPING WORLD TRUCK SERIES Race: Smith’s 350 Track: Las Vegas Motor Speedway When: Saturday, Oct. 15 TV: SPEED (3:30 p.m. EST) 2010 Winner: Austin Dillon Classic Moments Charlotte Motor Speedway The first of David Pearson’s 105 wins comes in the second annual World 600 at the Charlotte Motor Speedway in May 1961.

Pearson owns a two-lap lead on the field when he blows a tire with one lap remaining and limps around to the start/finish line. Fireball Roberts finishes second. Ralph Earnhardt leads 75 laps in the middle stages of the race in a car owned by Cotton Owens, marking the most laps he leads in any single Grand National event. Tim Flock makes his 187th and final start in this race, after a Hall of Fame career during which he amasses 39 wins and 129 top 10s. Athlon Fantasy Stall Looking at Checkers: Hard to overlook Jimmie Johnson’s six wins in Charlotte. Pretty Solid Pick: Carl Edwards has zero Cup wins at CMS, but they’ve been doing everything a contender should be doing of late. Good Sleeper Pick: Joey Logano has four top 10s in five points-paying starts here. Runs on Seven Cylinders: Juan Pablo Montoya, with only one top 10 in Charlotte in nine starts. Insider Tip: If this comes down to fuel mileage — and it could — think Stewart, Earnhardt and Harvick, who’ve all stretched it this season.

The Wildcats (2-4) ended a 17-game losing streak at home last weekend with a 26-14 victory over Manchester, which allowed HHS to pick up its first two-win season since the 2006 campaign. The Wildcats will be riding some momentum into Friday night after posting a season-high in both points and yards gained. Betsy Layne (5-2), on the other hand, is coming off a heartbreaking 8-6 loss at Leslie County last week- POMEROY, Ohio — The Meigs Marauders will be playing their final game at Bob Roberts Field on Friday, October 28, against Alexander.

Angels win SEOAL meet; Devils finish third By Bryan Walters bwalters@mydailytribune.com JACKSON, Ohio — After a two-year hiatus atop the league results, the Gallia Academy girls cross country team came away with the 2011 Southeastern Ohio Athletic League championship Wednesday night at Jackson High School. The Blue Angels captured their fifth SEOAL team crown in program history, and first since 2008, by posting a team score of 28 — which ended up being 10 points better than runner-up Warren (38). Both Logan and Chillicothe finished the night with 86 points, but the Lady Chieftains earned third place with a the sixth-runner tiebreaker. Jackson and Portsmouth did not record a team score because neither school had five runners compete. The Blue Angels — who also won SEOAL team titles in 1996, 1997 and 2006 — had four runners finish in the top-9 of the race, which earned each of them AllSEOAL honors. GAHS also had five of the top-14 individual ef- forts in the 43-girl event. Senior Peyton Adkins accomplished the rarest of feats Wednesday night, winning her fourth consecutive SEOAL crown as an individual competitor. Adkins posted a winning time of 18:54 and finished almost a minute ahead of the entire girls field. Adkins is believed to be the first female runner to win four individual SEOAL crowns in the league’s 32 years of participation, though that information could not be confirmed after numerous con- See SEOAL, B2 Bryan Walters/ photo Gallia Academy had six runners earn all-league honors Wednesday night at the 2011 SEOAL cross country championships at Jackson High School.

ROCKSPRINGS, Ohio — A 2-0 lead was not enough for the Lady Marauders on Wednesday evening, as Trimble rallied to win the final three sets for the victory on Senior Night. The Lady Marauders (7-13) won the opening two sets by scores of 31-29 and 25-23, before the visiting Lady Tomcats won the final three by scores of 25-13, 25-19 and 1510. Tanisha McKinney led the Lady Marauders with 13 points in the match, followed by Mercadies George with 10 points, Alison Brown with nine points, Emalee Glass with eight points, Tori Wolfe with six points, Cheyenne Beaver with three points and Chandra Mattox with two points. George and Emily Kinnan led the team in kills with 12 each, Brown added nine, Marlee Hoffman had six, Brook Andrus had five and Keana Robinson added three. Kinnan led the team in blocks with six, Hoffman added three, George had one and Robinson had one. Glass had 37 assists in the match, while George and Hoffman added one each. Meigs will host Oak Hill on Tuesday at 6 p.m. in a Division III Sectional Semifinal match. Lady Knights drop season finale at Poca Staff Report POCA, W.Va. — The Point Pleasant Lady Knights soccer team fell to fifth ranked Poca in Tuesday evening’s regular season finale. Poca defeated Point Pleasant by a score of 3-0. Poca took the lead midway through the first half, and took advantage of a penalty kick to go ahead 2-0. The Lady Dots attempted two penalty kicks in the game, but PPHS goalkeeper Delaney Bronosky stopped one. Poca scored its final goal of the game in the 66th minute with a shot from 10 yards out. The Lady Dots outshot Point Pleasant 17-3 in the game, and had three more corner kicks than the Lady Knights. Bronosky had 11 saves for the Lady Knights. The Lady Knights travel to Ravenswood on Tuesday at 6 p.m. for a sectional tournament game. The winner of the game will play Sissonville on Thursday at 6 p.m. in Ravenswood. �Friday, October 14, 2011 www.mydailysentinel.com The Daily Sentinel • Page B2 SEOAL From Page B1 tacts with media and league officials Wednesday night. Adkins’ win also gave GAHS the last seven league champions at this event, with Peyton’s sister Lauren winning the individual crown from 2005 to 2007. The Adkins sisters have also accumulated eight all-league honors in cross country. “I’m really excited about how my race went, and it’s awesome to hear that I possibly made history. That’s not a bad way to end a career in this league,” Adkins said. “More importantly, I’m really happy that we won the league title. That’s how I wanted to end my career in this league. It’s a good day for all of us.” The other Blue Angel senior, McKenna Warner, also earned her fourth All-SEOAL accolade Wednesday night after placing as the overall runner-up with a time of 19:46. Warner, a Shawnee State University signee, was second overall for the second time in her SEOAL career. Madison Holley and Hannah Watts both came away with their first All-SEOAL honors, as Holley placed fourth overall with a time of 20:31 and Watts was sixth with a mark of 21:10. Elizabeth Holley rounded out the team scoring by placing 14th overall with a Mason From Page B1 Wahama — which is 10-0 alltime against SGHS — can clinch a share of the TVC Hocking crown this weekend with a win, while the Rebels could open up a three-way race for the championship with WHS and Trimble if they can pull off the upset. Currently, both SGHS and Wahama are sitting in playoff contention in their respective state brackets … and a win would be a great boost for one of these squads in regards to the postseason. Wahama is averaging 59 points per game offensively while allowing just 8.8 points as a defense. The White Falcons have churned out 3,046 yards of offense and 48 touchdowns through six games, including 2,428 rushing yards (405 yards a game) and 618 passing yards. WHS has had 10 different rushers score a touchdown this season, and special teams have added two more scores this fall. The White Falcons are also plus-6 in turnover differential this year. Wahama’s defense has also allowed just 1,063 total yards, including a mere 388 rushing yards. South Gallia, on the other hand, is scoring 38.4 points per night while surrendering just eight points defensively. The Rebels have produced 2,533 yards of offense and 30 touchdowns through seven weeks, including 1,793 rushing yards (256 yards a game) and 729 passing yards. SGHS has had eight different rushers score a touchdown this year, and the defense has scored an OVP area-best four touchdowns defensively. The Rebels are also plus-10 in turnover differential this fall. Both teams have recorded two shutouts this season. Kickoff is scheduled for 7:30 p.m. GALLIA ACADEMY at PORTSMOUTH The Gallia Academy football team will look to keep both its playoff and league title hopes alive Friday night when it travels to Scioto County for a pivotal time of 23:20. “We’re tickled to death with how the girls did today,” said GAHS coach Todd May. “Our seniors served as leaders, and the younger kids stepped it up. It was a total group effort, which makes it all that much better.” Jenna Bays was 15th overall with a time of 23:38, followed by Madelynn Dennison (27:03) in 32nd and Akeisha Saunders (27:05) in 33rd. Other Blue Angel efforts included Darian Miller (28:18) in 36th, , Katie Saunders (33:44) in 41st, Rylee Stevens (34:27) in 42nd, and Kimmie Ford (35:21) in 43rd. On the boys’ side of things, Warren won its third consecutive league title after posting a team score of 24. Logan was the runner-up with 44 points, while Gallia Academy was third with 86 points. Jackson (92) and Chillicothe (119) rounded out the topfive. Portsmouth did not have enough runners for a team score. Wes Cochran of Warren won his second straight individual crown after posting a time of 16:07 — which was more than 30 seconds ahead of runner-up and teammate Kyle Conley (16:38). There were 40 runners total in the boys competition. The Blue Devils had two run- Week 8 Southeastern Ohio Athletic League matchup against Portsmouth. The visiting Blue Devils (4-3, 1-1 SEOAL) — who are 3-0 in road contests this fall — snapped a two-game losing skid last Friday with a 19-7 win at Chillicothe, and GAHS is looking to take some momentum from that contest after posting season highs in both rushing yards and total yards offensively. The Devils — who are currently 13th in the Division III, Region 12 playoff bracket — are averaging 13.4 points per game offensively while allowing 9.9 points as a defense against an overall strength of schedule of 22-27. GAHS has produced 1,578 total yards of offense this season, including 1,149 rushing yards (164 yards a game) and 429 passing yards. However, as good as the defense has been this year, Gallia Academy has allowed 1,609 yards — almost 500 yards more than it has gained.

You actually are in the process of beginning a new life cycle. Make it OK to let go of what isn’t working in your life. Sometimes you are overly serious and push others away. Is that what you really want? If you are single, you relate well to individuals but not necessarily in groups. Knowing that characteristic, opt for one-on-one relating on first dates, if possible. Don’t dive into a relationship too quickly. If you are attached, the two of you need to be careful with your word choices and remain sensitive to each other. TAURUS wants to be close to you. The Stars Show the Kind of Day You’ll Have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult ARIES (March 21-April 19) HHHH You might be a tad selfindulgent, but you have the energy to get whatever you need done. In essence, you can live on both sides of the fence for today. A serious conversation illuminates an issue, allowing for greater trust and inspiring you. Tonight: Your treat. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHHHH The Bull demonstrates its vigor and kindness. A serious conversation weighs heavily on your mind. Let go of the matter. You will find the correct response with detachment. Let a boss or older friend give you some important feedback. Tonight: Easy works. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHH Don’t be overly serious with a child or loved one. Loosen up and let this person take more responsibility. Be careful with what you share; not everyone can understand your thinking. Tonight: Let your imagination lead. CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHHH Your jovial mood just might be contagious. Whether answering the phone or in a meeting, others hear you loud and clear. A partner might put you on a pedestal, or vice versa. Be careful, as being on a pedestal can only lead to falling down. Tonight: Where the action is. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHHH Be willing to take a stand for what you believe. Others also might seem very assertive. Express yourself in the most positive way possible. Understanding evolves because someone finally wants mutuality. Tonight: In the limelight. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHHHH Keep reaching out for more information. Consider alternatives that allow you to break out of patterns, at least concerning plans. The more adventuresome you become, the more fun that can be had. Let your imagination rock and roll. Tonight: Be open to someone very different. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHHH Remain direct, and understand where others are coming from. You could take a comment rather personally. The smart move is to look the other way. You will be much happier as a result. This person might just be in a sour mood. Tonight: Dinner for two. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHHH Listen to your intuition rather than mentally respond to a friend’s or associate’s gesture. Know that more offers could be coming in. Be careful with funds, expenditures and/or a matter on the home front. Tonight: Out with friends. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHHH You might want to think before you commit to any more work. Others want your help, but you might not be ready to deal with the problem. Say “no” more often, and prevent a sense of feeling overwhelmed. Tonight: Choose something relaxing. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHHHH Investigate what is ailing an associate or co-worker. You need to be more assertive with a friend or loved one. You might think you have a situation locked up. A detail could have been left out, causing a problem. Tonight: Fun and games. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHH Your instinct to head home might be right-on. Know when you have had enough and understand what you need to do. Evaluate the importance of a long-distance relationship or partnership. At times you find this person touchy. Tonight: Consider entertaining at home. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHHHH Keep talks flowing, though you could be saturated by another person’s attitude or negativity. Listen to your inner voice. It might be there to inspire you. Let it point in the right direction. Keep an idea flowing. Tonight: With a favorite person.

Or, at least kids who are willing to do whatever it takes to win a game. Here are some prime examples just from last week of those who weren’t content to just play three downs and take a breather: Sherwood Fairview quarterback Andy Guilford ran for 180 yards and four touchdowns while throwing for 278 yards and three more scores in a 55-12 win over Antwerp; and Liberty Center’s Sean Westoven rushed for 194 yards and two touchdowns, caught a touchdown pass off a fake punt and scored a two-point conversion in a 2814 victory over previous unbeaten, West Lafayette Ridgewood. McComb’s Jerry Brown, who ran 85 yards for a score from the Wildcat formation on his first carry, rushed for 185 yards and two touchdowns, caught five passes for 81 yards and a score, completed both of his passing attempts for 25 yards, and spearheaded the Panthers defense as a linebacker in a 48-7 win over Arlington. Hanoverton United QB Garrett Beech ran for 154 yards and three second-quarter touchdowns on 11 carries and returned a fourth-quarter interception 36 yards for another touchdown to lift the Eagles past East Palestine, 38-35; and East Palestine’s Jake DiCello had kickoff returns of 91 and 94 yards for touchdowns and caught four passes for 113 yards, including a 65-yarder for another score. ON THE OFFENSIVE: Edon rolled up 655 yards of total offense in a 62-26 win over West Unity Hilltop as Shannon Geren had four TD runs, one TD reception and kicked seven extra points; making just his third career start, Mansfield Senior’s Jalen Reese broke the school’s single-game passing record when he threw for 388 yards on 19 of 38 passing in a 4539 loss to Millersburg West Holmes; and Cory-Rawson’s Jeremiah Alspach completed 11 of 15 passes for 240 yards and four touchdowns and Tyler Harris had 133 yards rushing and 135 receiving in a 49-8 win over Vanlue. NEVER TOO LATE: Caleb Siefring snagged an 18-yard scoring pass from Austin Bruns with 1:13 left to go, then secured the win with his second interception of the night as Coldwater defeated Delphos St. John’s 17-14. The Cavaliers keep a share of the Midwest Athletic Conference lead and will face co-leader Marion Local at Maria Stein on Friday in a battle for sole possession of first place. DEFENSIVE WOUNDS: After throwing six interceptions total in the first six games of the season, Celina’s Braden Billger was picked off six times, three being returned for touchdowns, as the Bulldogs lost to Lima Shawnee 63-20. Billger did throw for 419 yards (38-of-57 passing) and three touchdowns. Also, Jefferson (5-2) won its fourth consecutive game by forcing eight turnovers in a 42-20 victory over visiting Hubbard. Quarterback Connor Cleveland ran for 212 yards and touchdowns of 1, 38, 28 and 1 yards on 20 carries. He also was 12 of 18 for 97 yards. Jefferson intercepted four Hubbard passes and recovered three fumbles by the Eagles. LONG WAIT: The Jackson Ironmen won at Ironton 28-22 on Friday, Jackson’s first win at Tanks Memorial Stadium since 1969. The Ironmen had lost 12 straight games in Ironton. It’s also Jackson’s 16th straight regular season win, a school record. RUSH WEEK: Galion running back David Nay rushed for 357 yards and four touchdowns in Galion’s 61-13 win over Riverdale, breaking the school’s singleseason rushing record with 1,692 yards; Reid Hutchinson had 18 carries for 304 yards and three touchdowns in Frankfort Adena’s 47-0 win over Paint Valley, giving him 189 carries for 1,774 yards and 21 touchdowns on the season; Van Buren’s Zane Kieffer carried 31 times for 282 yards and four touchdowns in a 42-25 win over Pandora-Gilboa; Wellsville’s Marcus Moxley ran for 271 yards and touchdowns of 23, 64 and 75 yards on 23 carries in a 35-14 win over McDonald. Warren Howland’s De’Veon Smith rushed for 269 yards and TDs of 67, 1 and 20 yards, the last the winning score in a 21-14 overtime victory over visiting Poland; Brookfield’s Ryan Mosora ran for 238 yards and two touchdowns on 32 carries in the Warriors’ 21-14 road victory over Ashtabula Edgewood — but it was Mosora’s brother Brandon who sealed the win with a 19-yard TD pass to Kevin Joslin with 4:07 to play; Lebanon’s Aaron Abbott had 177 rushing yards and four touchdowns in a 42-7 win over Miamisburg; Hamler Patrick Henry’s Lucas Rosebrook rushed for 194 yards and three touchdowns in the Patriots 47-14 win over previously unbeaten Bryan. NOTABLE ACHIEVEMENTS: Tiffin Columbian coach Brian Colatruglio picked up his 100th career win when the Tornadoes beat Shelby 62-19; Berlin Center Western Reserve ran for 325 yards on 24 attempts to beat Salineville Southern, 48-3, in a battle of unbeatens. Donnie Bolton ran for 189 yards, including touchdowns of 40 and 83 yards, on 14 carries. Lawmakers to meet with NFL, union on hormone tests WASHINGTON (AP) — The NFL and the players union are set to meet with leaders of a House committee to discuss testing for human growth hormone, which has hit a snag despite an agreement in the latest collective bargaining agreement to begin testing players. That agreement was contingent on the union’s agreeing to the testing methods, but the union has asked for more scientific data to prove the test is reliable.

Applications must be mailed and postmarked by October 20, 2011. House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, California GOP Rep. Darrell Issa, and the top Democrat, Rep. Elijah Cummings of Maryland, planned to attend Friday’s meeting, along with NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell, Baltimore Ravens cornerback and team representative Domonique Foxworth, and Travis Tygart, who heads the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency. Other representatives from the league, the union and the agency also were to participate. “We look forward to cooperating with the committee and working with the NFLPA to start HGH testing in the NFL as soon as possible,” NFL spokesman Greg Aiello said Thursday. The union is seeking data from the athletes who were used to originally set thresholds as to what constitutes a positive test, so it can compare that data with a population study on football players. The union believes players could have naturally higher HGH levels than those of other athletes. The World Anti-Doping Agen- cy, which sanctions the test, has declined to produce more information, saying plenty of information about the test is available publicly. Union spokesman George Atallah said he hoped Tygart’s agency would be more forthcoming at Friday’s meeting than the World Anti-Doping Agency has been. Issa and Cummings told the league and the union last month that the elimination of performance-enhancing drugs from the sport “protects the integrity of the league as well as player Help Wanted- General Help Wanted- General Medical Are you interested in a rewarding position?
