Workers with the state prison system have performed similar work on other buildings as they were converted to other use, including the Mulberry Community Center. Commissioners plan to tear down the hospital building because they have deemed it to be in irreparable condition. The building has suffered water damage from a leaky roof, and it has begun to show signs of structural failure. It has sat empty for 10 years, since Consolidated Health Systems, Inc. closed the hospital and its associated extended care unit. The building was constructed in the early and late 1960’s, so asbestos must be removed before it can be torn down. Using the state’s training program will save the county money, and provide training for inmates at the same time, according to President Michael Bartrum. There is no specific time line for the work, or for tearing down the hospital, but commissioners said yesterday the plans are still under way. Last month, commissioners conducted a sale of hospital contents, as well as building materials that could be salvaged from it. There are no specific plans for redeveloping the hospital site, but commission- ers hope it can be used for a public purpose once the building is razed. Commissioners said earlier this year there has been interest from one health care provider in building on the site, and commissioners have also identified possible uses of the land for county governmental purposes. While the site has been ruled out for a hospital in the future, commissioners continue to work toward increasing health care services in the county. They hope to use land on Pomeroy Pike, where Family Healthcare, Inc., is now building an outpatient family clinic, to develop an emergency room and possible inpatient facility. Here comes the rain again… POMEROY — Students in the Meigs Local School District got a day off school due to isolated flooding, and steady rains are likely to blame for a slip on Butternut Avenue causing headaches for the county museum. Emergency Management Agency Director Robert Byer said he had visited an area behind the museum but believes the slip likely started with a leaky waterline. He said his agency has not become officially involved in the situation, but has provided some sandbags to help control the water flooding the museum’s Nolan Annex. The school district delayed, then cancelled, classes for Thursday, since buses could not travel across roadways covered in water. The rain was expected to let up by Friday, with sunny skies but cooler temperatures in the weekend forecast. Sarah Hawley/photo Overnight rains and early morning high water resulted in road closures and the first school closing of the year in Meigs Local Schools on Thursday. Roads in Meigs County, including Ohio 124 in Rutland and Bradbury Road near Middleport were covered by the water early Thursday morning. BOO! ODNR forest management plans unveiled By Brian J.

R eed BR eed @ mydailysenti nel . com POMEROY — “The most important thing in our lives is good health.” County Commissioners Michael Bartrum and Tim Ihle discussed the upcoming one-mill levy renewal for the county health department, which they authorized for the November ballot in action earlier this year. “The popularity of taxes might be at an alltime low, and the strain on budgets, personal and governmental, is sobering,” Ihle said. “The most important thing in our lives is good health. The choices we make for the health of our family, neighborhood, and even our county is more than a choice, it is our responsibility.” “The need for our health department has been long established and its many services are available to all.” Ihle and Bartrum said the board of health has demonstrated fiscal responsibility, as has paid staff in the department. “We hope the voters will take time to make a good choice for health and well being, review the good work they do and the responsible use of our tax dollars.” During their regular business meeting, commissioners met with a representative of Lanning Mechanical, Athens, regarding needed upgrades to the heating system at the county-owned multipurpose building. The firm proposes installing a $100,000 control system to address an ongoing problem with temperature control in the building, which houses the county’s health department and the senior center. Commissioners admit they cannot now afford the upgrades, but said they would consider possible means, including financing, of making the upgrades. Doing so, they believe, will result in considerable energy savings, and the new controls could pay for themselves through those savings in three to five years. Commissioners met with Grants Administrator Jean Trussell to open bids on electrical upgrades at the firemen’s park in Rutland, but no bids were received. The engineer’s estimate on the project was $18,000. The project is to be funded through the Community Development Block Grant formula allocation for this year. Commissioners also: Approved payment of bills in the amount of $397,198.27. Approved the re-appointment of Opal Dyer as the member-at-large on the board of the Buckeye Hills RC&D, and Commissioner Tom Anderson as the alternate on the board. Present were Commissioners Bartrum and Ihle and Clerk Gloria Kloes, who opened the meeting with the Pledge of Allegiance. �Friday, October 28, 2011 Obituaries Lonnie Medley, Jr. Lonnie Medley Jr., 79, of Bidwell, formerly of Racine, passed away at 4:42 a.m. Thursday, Oct. 27, 2011, in the Holzer Medical Center, Gallipolis.

Ohio Valley Weather Stocks Study questions outsourcing traffic camera systems WA S H I N G T O N (AP) — One out of every five Americans lives in a community that pays a for-profit company to install and operate cameras that record traffic violations. A pro-consumer group says that practice could end up putting profits ahead of safety and accuracy. Some contracts require cities to share revenue with camera vendors on a per-ticket basis or through other formulas. Suffolk County, N.Y., for example, diverts half of the revenue from its redlight camera program to its vendor, according to the report being released Thursday by the U.S. Public Interest Research Group. Another type of agreement — conditional “cost-neutral” contracts — also contain provisions that link payments to the number of tickets issued, although the payments are capped, the report said. Under these contracts, local governments pay a monthly fee to a camera vendor. If ticket revenues fail to cover the vendor’s fee in any given month, cities may delay payments. That gives vendors an incentive to ensure a minimum number of citations are issued, the report said. As many as 700 communities, with a com- bined total of more than 60 million people, outsource their street and highway camera systems, the report found. While vendors capture violations, police or other local officials approve which violations are issued tickets. Some contracts penalize cities if they don’t approve enough tickets, effectively setting a ticket quota, the report said. That can undermine the authority of local officials to decide when to issue tickets, it said. “Automated traffic ticketing tends to be governed by contracts that focus more on profits than safety,” said Phineas Baxandall, the report’s co-author. Baxandall acknowledged that cashstrapped communities have a financial incentive to maximize the number of citations they issue even when they don’t use a vendor. But local governments are also accountable to voters, whereas private vendors aren’t, he said. Red-light cameras have been effective at saving lives by deterring motorists from running lights, said Anne Fleming, a spokeswoman for the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety. An analysis by the institute showed they saved 159 lives from 2004 to 2008 in the 14 WES McCLURE October 28, 1977 - August 26, 2011 Happy 34th B Birthday Son Love you and miss you.

As you might guess, I am an older single gal who just isn’t comfortable with all the new things some people are using to meet each other. I wouldn’t mind bar-hopping but can’t find a willing friend to go with me! Suggestions? — J.C. Dear J.C.: Bar-hopping as a way of meeting men has suffered greatly in recent years, taken over by electronic media, with dating sites devoted to matching you up with just the right people based on a ton of criteria. You don’t say why you don’t want to jump on the technology bandwagon, so I would first try to change your mind and see if you can get on board before that train leaves the station. If you are overwhelmed by it all, try a class or two to familiarize yourself with social media. If you simply donwant to go there, you can take the idea of bar-hopping and modify it slightly. Even if you go alone, checking out all the local coffee bars probably would give you a chance to meet some people. Follow your interests to classes, field trips and travel opportunities. Try another old, outmoded way of meeting men: Ask someone to introduce you to friends they may have who also Dr. Joyce Brothers are looking for dates! Just by being willing to get out of the house and go looking for love, you have an advantage over those who are stuck at home checking their email for interesting strangers: You might actually catch someone’s eye — or have someone catch yours! So keep that good attitude going, and be aware that bar-hopping has its place, but use it sparingly for best results. *** Dear Dr. Brothers: I don’t know why my fiance and I get along so well, but we do. Everyone remarks on how different our personalities are, and while that is true, I don’t think it should mean we’re not suited to one another. To me, it means that we complement each other. He is quiet and I am outgoing, but it hasn’t caused us any problems so far. Does the fact that we are so different mean that we will have a harder time being happy together during the long term? — V.K. Dear V.K.: The old saying about opposites attracting probably will hold true forever. That may be one of the flaws with all the Ohio Briefs 5-year-old backs car onto Ohio street, calls 911 MANSFIELD, Ohio (AP) — Authorities say a 5-year-old looking for her mother in Ohio backed a car out of the driveway, then called 911 for help. Mansfield police say Ameleah Kegley backed the car out Monday evening after returning from school to an empty house. According to the local newspaper, her mother had gone to the hospital with an emergency and her father never got the message. Worried that her mother wasn’t home, Ameleah decided to look for her and started her mother’s 1999 Lincoln Navigator. It backed down the sloped driveway and came to a stop on grass across the street. The girl dialed 911, explained the situation and asked for quick help getting the car back home, because she said her mom would be upset with her. Exotic animal tattoo fundraiser extended in Ohio ZANESVILLE, Ohio (AP) — The ink is still flowing in a tattoo fundraiser for the remaining exotic animals from an Ohio farm where the owner opened the cages and killed himself. Following last week’s events in eastern Ohio, tattoo artist Bill White in nearby Zanesville said he’d donate the proceeds if people got new tattoos of tigers and other wild beasts. His offer originally ended last weekend, but the local newspaper reports White is now keeping it going until Saturday. He has so far raised more than $2,000 for six animals now cared for at the Columbus Zoo. Police killed 48 other animals that ran loose from the farm, including rare Bengal tigers, lions and bears. The zoo says the farm owner’s widow plans to take back the surviving animals, possibly Thursday. Ohio official nixes longer early vote in 1 county DAYTON, Ohio (AP) — A vote by Ohio’s elections chief means no extra hours for early voting at the board of elections in one of the state’s largest urban counties. Elections board members were tied on the question of extended early voting for Montgomery County, which includes Dayton. The local newspaper reports Republican Secretary of State Jon Husted became the tie breaker and sided with GOP board members who did not want to stretch the absentee voting into the weekend and evenings. Husted said Wednesday his decision was based on the board’s financial constraints. He also says voters already have ample opportunity to get their vote in ahead of the Nov. 8 election. A Democratic board member complains of “voter suppression.” Other county elections boards are offering expanded early voting hours. Dem. ‘optimistic’ about Ohio congressional map COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — A key Democratic state lawmaker says she’s optimistic about talks with Republicans to find compromise over the state’s new congressional map. Ohio Legislative Black Caucus President Sandra Williams says things are moving in a “positive fashion” and that people are trying to bring the matter to a close. The local newspaper reports the Democratic state representative from Cleveland made the comment Wednesday after a meeting with Republican House Speaker William Batchelder. The GOP-drawn map that was passed last month has been put on hold as Democrats try to put the new district lines before voters for possible repeal in 2012. The spat has delayed next year’s primaries for president and U.S. House. Batchelder’s spokesman, Mike Dittoe, says conversations with Democrats are likely to continue over the coming days. Ohio city to tap meth- online dating sites that are now asking people to slog through hundreds of questions to create profiles that will attract people just like themselves. That’s all well and good, but sometimes we need the other person to be a little different. And research into what contributes to a lasting marriage suggests that it is not personality traits that leads to the happiness of the couple. One study in 2007 by the University of California at Berkeley even showed that personality differences were linked to a better chance of successful marriages, and similarities were related to less happiness with the marriage during a 12-year period. Using a variety of strategies for dealing with issues seems to be enhanced in couples with different problem-solving styles and outlooks on relationships growing out of their personalities. One of the ways you can help ensure a long and happy marriage of opposites is to take care that your personality traits don’t lead to stubbornness or exaggeration.

Holzer Home Care addresses reform challenges Health care reform has been a hot topic on the national scene for more than two years. The focus continues to be providing high quality care and services with the most efficient practices. The home care industry, along with the health care industry in general, continues to face significant funding cuts from Medicare and Medicaid benefits. This has prompted the health care industry to evaluate current services and determine the best practices for efficiency of each service. Holzer Home Care has and continues to experience these funding challenges. Holzer Home Care has been providing home health services for more than 40 years and with a continued focus on providing the highest quality of care for their patients and maintaining ane to power treat- their employees positions.

Holzer Home Care recently underwent a computer upgrade to allow many of their staff the opportunity to work from or begin and end their work day from home. By working from home, it allows for less travel by the staff to an office area, needed only to download assessments and to pick up mail, company information, etc. These types of communications are now managed through secured websites. This also allows for more quality time with the patients they are serving. “We have been able to keep our staff on board but at the same time down size our office space, as now more of our staff have the capabilities to work from home,” commented Sharon Shull, Director of Holzer Home Care and Hospice Services. Sharon continued, “It is exciting to see the changes in the industry and although it is a challenge to maintain a high quality of care with the funding reductions, it is a focus for our department and service that we will continue to provide.” “Holzer Health Systems has always valued our senior population and their concern and priorities for the elderly is shown in the services provided,” stated Teresa Remy- Detty, VicePresident of Holzer Long Term Care and Home Care Division. “Again, the priority of providing quality care to our Home Care patients is demonstrated through the commitment of technology and allowing for more field time for our staff and the patients we serve.” Holzer Home Care serves Athens, Meigs, Gallia, Jackson, Lawrence, Pike, Scioto, Vinton counties in Ohio, along with Mason County in West Virginia.

The zoo has contacted state and federal agencies in search of a way to keep the animals in its care, said Patty Peters, vice president of community relations. “It’s appealing to everybody to try to see if there’s anything anybody can do,” she said. Ohio has some of the nation’s weakest restrictions on exotic pets, and efforts to strengthen the regulations have taken on new urgency since Terry Thompson opened the cages at his eastern Ohio farm near Zanesville last week, freeing four dozen animals that were later shot by authorities. Officers were ordered to kill the animals — including rare Ben- gal tigers, lions and bears — instead of trying to bring them down with tranquilizers for fear that those hit with darts would escape in the darkness before they dropped and later regain consciousness. It’s not clear if Marian Thompson plans to take the surviving animals back to the farm or to an alternate location, said Muskingum County Sheriff Matt Lutz, whose office isn’t taking a stance on whether the creatures should return to Zanesville. “If she wants to bring them back here, to this farm, then we’re working on what we’re allowed legally to do to make sure that everything is safe and appropriate,” Lutz said. Ohio woman set to reclaim exotic animals from zoo Slain Ft. Campbell soldier from Ohio to get honor DAYTON, Ohio (AP) — The U.S. Army is presenting the Silver Star to the family of a Fort Campbell, Ky., soldier from Ohio who saved the lives of three servicemen before being fatally wounded in a battle with insurgents in Afghanistan. The posthumous award for Army Specialist Jesse Snow of Fairborn will be presented Friday at the National Museum of the U.S. Air Force at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base near Dayton. It’s the nation’s third-highest honor for valor in the face of the enemy. The museum says Snow is being recognized for “courageous and selfless actions in saving the lives of three fellow brothers in arms and solely denying the enemy the ability to capture any American soldiers.” The 25-year-old Snow was among five Fort Campbell soldiers killed in the Nov. 14, 2010, battle. surviving animals with Marian Thompson’s permission but has no legal rights to the animals.

We each have different personalities, different gifts, different memories and different life experiences that shape who and what we’re becoming. Thus, your walk may look a bit different from other Believers, but, inasmuch as you’re truly pursuing God with all your heart, that’s okay: that’s how God means it to be. In fact, one can examine the makeup of the Christian people across the nation and around the world and rejoice, for the magnitude of the Kingdom of God is unfathomable as He not only works out a special and customized plan for each congregation that will trust Him and listen to His holy Word, but also for each individual Believer within each one of those congregations! The Kingdom of God is mighty in length and breadth, full of a host of beloved individuals, each carefully designed and thoughtfully crafted by the hands of the Creator to bring a very special contribution to God’s creation. Just think of how unique you are, graced with a unique combination of specialized talents, skills, opinions, and convictions! Look and you’ll see all kinds of men and women who have hungered for more than this life can provide, and have declared their willingness and desire to set aside and sacrifice their own agendas and receive Jesus as Lord. Look and you’ll find all sorts of boys and girls who have heard the resounding call of God to receive the gift of eternal life and have answered with a resounding “yes!” to the One Who has offered it to them. Look and you’ll discover people of nationalities from all over the earth who have truly felt the sweet invitation of the Holy Spirit to receive salvation through faith in Christ and are now walking with Him. Some of these are young and some are old. Some are men and some are women. Some are white while some are black. Some are Native American and others are of Asian or Polynesian descent. Some have black hair while others have brown, blond or red hair. Some have long hair and some have short hair. Some have no hair at all. Some have small noses and others have big noses. Some have freckles on their noses and some of these have freckles all over. Some are short. Some are tall. Some are thin while others may be stout. Some are athletic and some wished that they were, too. Thom Mollohan Some worship with adoration for the Savior lavishly displayed for all to see, with hands clapping and feet stamping. Some are so smitten with love and humility under the standard of His holy grace that they worship with their souls stilled to quiet surrender. Some sing songs that have come down to us from long ago while others find that new songs best capture the joy and reverence of their hearts. Inside and out, each man, woman, boy, and girl is uniquely designed to be a unique creation in the Kingdom of God. From the tip of their toes to the tops of their heads, each one is uniquely gifted for meaningful, joyful and fruitful living in this world until called home to heaven or until He comes again. Such design and gifting are not intended by God to be squandered selfishly upon our own ambitions or desires, tempted as we sometimes are to bring glory to ourselves instead of glory’s rightful owner: Jesus. So, whatever we have in our checklist of things we can do and things we possess, those things were given to us to bring a new dimension to the great family of God. If you do not receive God’s gift of salvation, then what hole is left in heaven and in the house of God because of your vacancy? If you, though perhaps a child of God, withhold the light of His love from others in need, then what shadows remain in the world for the lack of your light? If you were to channel all the talent or material blessings that He’s showered down upon you on making a name for yourself or accumulating wealth for your stay here on earth, in spite of all He’s done for you on the cross of Calvary, what soul remains spiritually parched, overcome by spiritual thirst with no refreshment in sight? What spiritual lives wither and die because your gifts and talents were not there to contribute to the work of the Kingdom of God? God forbid that you miss out on how God would bless you with all sorts of spiritual blessings if you would only allow Him to use what you are and what you’ve been given. And God forbid that others also miss out on hope and renewal because your life was not available for the Lord to use and bless. You are needed and have been sent to this time and this place to “be all that you can be.” “Let us hold unswervingly to the hope we profess, for He who promised is faithful. And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds. Let us not give up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but let us encourage one another” (Hebrews 10:23-25a). You don’t think you need to go to church to be spiritual? Think again. If you are not participating in the life and work of a local church family, then you are missing out on experiencing God’s great provision for countering the forces of darkness in the world and in individual lives: the local church. Unless you’re being integrated into a church family, you can never be as developed and refined a servant in His kingdom as you ought to be nor can you ever fully inherit all the peace that He has on reserve for you. And every time someone else looks into the window of your life and either finds an emptiness inside or discovers the shutters of selfishness tightly shut to protect your own interests, that person’s life has been diminished, lacking in those things that God could have accomplished through you. A little less hope than should have been there. A little less joy than God had intended. A little less courage, wisdom, strength, and love. But once you begin to become involved, things begin to change. Your gifts, talents, resources, and personality characteristics all begin to take on an eternal dimension. And once you find yourself living in the company of other Believers, growing, learning, worshiping, and serving together, you’ll begin to catch a glimpse of how a uniquely wonderful person like you can be the very ingredient needed in a recipe of God’s making. You yourself show the love of God and His wonderful grace in ways that could not have been realized had you not “shown up for duty.” Therefore, as you tally what you have and what you are, always remember to, “… Guard what has been entrusted to your care” (1 Timothy 6:20). (Thom Mollohan and his family have ministered in southern Ohio the past 16 years. He is the pastor of Pathway Community Church and the author of The Fairy Tale Parables. He may be reached for comments or questions by email at pastorthom@pathwaygallipolis.com). He loves the smell of the dirt OAKWOOD — On any given Sunday you’ll be sure to find Pastor Eric Dailey dressed in a suit and preaching from the pulpit. However, were you to visit him on any given weekday, you’ll most likely find him in bib overalls and playing with his tractor. Although he grew up a farm boy on his father’s farm, he traded in his Wrangler jeans and work boots for ministry in 1988 and has since been preaching for 23 years. However, he started a project that brought him back to his roots when he served for 13 years at the Edon United Methodist Church -<f>growing potatoes. “It was my first FFA project, an acre of potatoes,” Dailey said. “We (the church) grew them and shipped them to the Seagate Food Bank in Toledo, where they were then distributed to 18 different counties in Ohio.” The shipment was made possible through St. Andrew, which is a United Methodist Mens project with the West Ohio Conference. “We did that project for almost three years and now I plant them with my church in Oakwood, called Twin Oaks United Methodist Church,” Dailey explained. He started the project in Edon after George Jensen - better known as Tader - spoke at his church about the project. “He is the hunger advocate for the West Ohio Conference with the United Methodist Church, and he works at gathering and gleaning food for all over west Ohio. Any place that raises vegetables or fruits he makes connections with,” Dailey said. “He brought it up to me after he spoke. He’s always gathering potatoes. They are a good food source.” Twin Oaks raises four acres of potatoes, “which is around 27,000 pounds of potatoes. In Edon we had three acres,” Dailey noted. But it’s not just about the potatoes. “It’s about the people. It’s about gathering people together to work together for the mission of Christ. The potatoes are just the by-product they are the icing on top of the cake,” he laughed. “It makes a community stronger and it binds them together and creates opportunities for friendship and relationships. And they talk. They find out that so and so is not such a bad guy after all.” Although farming is his passion, he sees a relationship between the field and the pulpit. “One is being a good steward of the land, the other for the people. I don’t think you’ll find many pastors out there farming or raising potatoes,” he laughed. “I was raised on the farm and I helped my dad. Farming is my passion. You can take the boy out of the farm, but you can’t take the farm out of the boy.” That fact even his fellow church members in Edon noticed when his friend, Gary Lesnet, painted ‘Dailey’s Digger’ on the side of his potato planter. “I think it helps people find a connection to the church. It helps them see that we’re just normal people who want to help and love farming,” Dailey said. “I love it all. I love the smell of it and I love playing in the dirt.” B y C arrie W olfe This week there has been a transitioning in our family. We are celebrating my oldest daughter’s birthday. Catherine is 18 and while that is something to celebrate, it is something that has made me feel queasy for months. If you know Catherine, then you know she is an amazing young woman. If you have followed this column regularly, then you know she had chronic Lyme Disease. Blessedly, she has recovered, but it was a long journey particularly last year. It has been a crazy ride. Again, something to celebrate, but mom still feels queasy. It is a transition. She is still in school, but this is senior year. As we go through senior year, the only thing I can think about is that this time next year she will be in college. Her plans are not to go to a college locally (and mom is okay with that). It will be the loss of her presence that will bother me. The time for her to spread her wings is upon us. It is a time of transition. Catherine is intelligent. She has been lovingly raised by our family. Her parents, grandparents, godmother and extended family has surrounded her with the love she needed to grow. She has been nurtured by teachers, 4-H leaders, church leaders, and others. These same people have challenged her to be the best she can be. She has been allowed to remain in a comfortable zone for a time, but challenged to grow. Not every moment was easy. Teachable mo- Dodger Vaughan Middleport Church of Christ ments are not always easy. They can be uncomfortable, painful, and heartbreaking. Yet, the opportunity to learn was never glossed over, never passed by. Just as she will move on from high school into college, she will move from one phase of her life to another. It is time for that. I may not like to let go and see my little girl grow up, but at the same time the adventure of watching all the years of growth blossom into fruit is incredible. I want to see what fruit she produces in her life. Expectation is coming to fruition. It is the same with Christ. Jesus works on us, sometimes for years. He molds us. He shapes us. He nurtures us through the discipleship by others. He works on us, teaching us to be like Him. Christ then expects something. We are to transition from being discipled to discipling others. We are to transition to fruition. We are to bear fruit for the Kingdom of God. It is like a seed. A seed needs water, soil, and sun. A person needs grace, love and the Son. The roots of a person’s soul needs to go deep in the Word. Discipleship is the main ingredient churches are lacking today. It is the reason why people fall away from the faith. You feed a baby formula. Eventually as the baby grows, formula is not enough to sustain the baby. The baby becomes more demanding and expecting more from church leaders and pastors. What typically happens though is when they need that table food, they get more formula. Spiritually people need more than fluff. Having a great program (entertainment) at a church is wonderful, but if there isn’t any discipleship, it is wasted effort. It may last for awhile, but will not have staying power. We have to look past immediate numbers and understand that discipleship is a commitment. It is a long-term process. It is also the duty of every believer. We are to be “fruitful and multiply” and that includes spiritually. We are supposed to be raising up others through discipleship. Transition to fruition may not be easy. Raising children isn’t easy. It is necessary for the Kingdom though. Wake up Christians and see what you are doing (or not doing). Step it up! Transition to fruition, bear fruit for the Kingdom. Multiply do not divide and live a life of Grace Out Loud! (Carrie Wolfe is an assistant pastor at Team Jesus Ministries in Pomeroy, Ohio.) Search the Scriptures “…these were more noble…they searched the scriptures daily…” Having noted many proofs that our Universe, our Planet, and all life are the result of a Designer, we turn now to learning more about the Designer. Much can be learned about the Designer by looking at the traits that prove humans are not just a form of animal. Only humans have the concept of morality and ethics. Defining “morality,” the word comes from the Latin “mores,” meaning habits or customs. “Ethics” is from a Greek word meaning “character.” When one studies nature, it become clear good and evil, right and wrong, do not enter into the behavior of wild creatures. A dog feels no remorse after stealing a bone from another dog. A lion feels no guilt for killing a gazelle for a meal. The cat stalking a bird is carrying out its natural instinct. But, in all areas of our Planet, humans experience the prompting of duty, virtue, good, bad, right, and wrong. From whom did these arise? Did our Designer place within us this awareness? Our nation today is reaping the fruit of the catch-phrases of the 60’s [“Do your own thing,” “look out for number one”], but the 60’s concept wasn’t new then; it has been around since the Garden. Look at one of Satan’s hooks which he used to catch Eve: “For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof [of the tree], then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil” [Genesis 3:5]. Eve wanted to be wise, and mankind ever since has sought to direct his own way. Our Designer has put in His Book lessons and examples of the outcome when “…every man did that which was right in his own eyes” [Judges 17:6b; 21:25b]. Each of us will benefit from a study of Judges. Since our Designer has told us, “…the way of man is not in himself: it is not in man that walketh to direct his steps” [Jeremiah 10:23], He must have placed in His Book guidelines and commands showing us the way in which to walk. An arrogant man may ask, “Who is God, that He can tell us what to do?” The answer: “Nay but, O man, who art thou that repliest against God? Shall the thing formed say to him that formed it, Why hast thou made me thus? Hath not the potter power over the clay…?” [Romans 9:20,21a]. Understanding that God designed and created man will help each of us ask instead, “How does my Designer want me to conduct my life?” First, let’s consider the consequences of evolution’s approach to life. Dr. Richard Dawkins, the famous evolutionist of Great Britain, once admitted that believing in evolution and then acting consistently upon that belief would produce “a very nasty society in which to live.” In his book, “The Brothers Karamazov,” author Dostoyevsky had “Ivan” say, “If there is no God, everything is permitted.” Darwin taught “weaker” members of society are unfit and, under the laws of nature, normally would not survive. The tiny developing child in the womb is certainly one of the weakest creatures in human society. In 1973, the Supreme Court of the United States decreed the human embryo within the womb is not “human,” but simply a lump of tissue which may be ripped out and tossed into the trash. Earlier nations decreed the weak, the old, the ill, the disabled, the mentally or physically handicapped, should be eliminated from society. Once on that road, who is exempt? Mental IQ, skin color, nationality, religion, economic status eventually none will be secure. Since evolution says the strong should survive, the person with the most powerful physique or the most powerful weapon, the nation which is the strongest economically or militarily, can have his, or the nation’s, way. The increase in violence between persons is the natural outgrowth of teaching our young they are “merely animals,” and have a right to do whatever they have the power to do. Our nation was founded upon God’s pattern of what is right and wrong. Many of you older readers remember the peace, the safety, the co-operation, that prevailed when the citizens and the government respected God’s Word for how to live. A study of the history of our and other nations illustrates clearly the value of respecting and practicing the commands of our Designer! Before going deeper into God’s instructions for living in a family, in a nation, and on this Planet, next week we’ll look at different systems of “morality,” such as, “relativism,” “hedonism,” “utilitarianism,” and “situation ethics,” comparing the outcomes of them with the outcome of following God’s plan. The church of Christ, from the first Pentecost after Jesus’ resurrection to today, points every person to God, our Designer, and stresses the importance of searching the Scriptures to find His commands. Please meet with the church at 234 Chapel Drive [off Bulaville Road], and search the Scriptures with us. �Friday, October 28, 2011 www.mydailysentinel.com It’s Harvest Time! This is the season in the Mid-West where farmers are still harvesting their corn, beans, etc. Much has already been harvested. I, for example, finished harvesting our last crop of different types of peppers and late blooming Choctaw squash. These are exiting times! Harvesting is a fun time of the year as well as a lot of work. With the amount of work comes preparation time. Some of us prepare the soil for next year’s planting season. You have to leave things in place for the next sowing season. How is your harvest season going? Have you had your harvest yet? By this I don’t mean your physical food harvest, but rather, your spiritual seed that you planted a few weeks, months or even years ago. Have you received your harvest yet? In other words, the Bibles teaches us that one of the laws of the Kingdom of God is the fact that you do reap what you sow. Often times we use this cliche’ when people do something wrong or say something wrong, and then we say, “well, you do reap what you sow.” Insinuating some type of judgment from God that is coming to them. Though this could certainly be true, yet the fact still remains, that when we sow good things we also reap good things. If you read the parable of the Sower in Luke chapter eight where Jesus talks about the fact that the Sower went out to sow, you will find a great amount of truth regarding Kingdom seed, time and harvest. I simply want to point out that the Sower here could be Jesus but it could very well be anybody who speaks the Word of God, which is the seed. In the Bible you will find that the Word is a seed, money is a seed, things given are seeds that we plant into the Kingdom of God and therefore, can expect a harvest. God is very interested in giving you a harvest from your seed. The question is: Are you sowing with the intent to receive a harvest? In other words, sowing in faith? Some people would say: “But Pastor Alex, I simply give to God because I love Him and I should not expect anything in return.” Well, that’s why you can’t receive anything from the Lord related to your seed. So when you tithe, or give offerings, or do something for somebody out of love, remember, that’s a seed. That seed will germinate and will give you a harvest. But it is up to you if you’re going to receive it or allow the enemy to steal it. Keep in mind that the whole purpose of receiving a harvest, is to give you more seed. The Bible declares that God gives seed to the sower. The more you sow, the more you’ll harvest, in order to be able to sow some more, so you can harvest some more. Your harvest is a two-fold blessing. Your harvest is to bless you and to bless the work of the Kingdom, thus generating more seed and more harvest. This is God’s plan – not man’s. God wants to bless you more than you can even imagine! He wants to bless you in every area of your life. But He wants you to receive His harvest so you can continue to sow. Sowing is done by faith and in love. For the love of the Father and the love toward others mixed with faith so that God is pleased or agreed with and be able to work with your seed. A farmer sows seeds with the intent to generate a harvest – not just because he loves his family and yet not receive anything in return. That would be crazy! So sow your seeds today and as Mark 11:24 says: believe that you have received and you will have your harvest. Make it a Great Day! VATICAN CITY (AP) — The Vatican called Monday for radical reform of the world’s financial systems, including the creation of a global political authority to manage the economy. A proposal by the Pontifical Council for Justice and Peace calls for a new world economic order based on ethics and the “achievement of a universal common good.” It follows Pope Benedict XVI’s 2009 economic encyclical that denounced a profitat-all-cost mentality as responsible for the global financial meltdown. The proposal acknowledges, however, that a “long road still needs to be traveled before arriving at the creation of a public authority with universal jurisdiction” and suggests the reform process begin with the United Nations as a point of reference. Vatican pronouncements on the economy are meant to guide world leaders as well as the global church. United States Roman Catholic bishops, for example, have released a voter guide for the 2012 election that highlights social concerns such as ending poverty. “It is an exercise of responsibility not only toward the current but above all toward future generations, so that hope for a better future and confidence in human dignity and capacity for good may never be extinguished,” the document said. It highlights that reforms must assure that financial and monetary policies will not damage the weakest economies while also achieving fair distribution of the world’s wealth. The proposal also called for a “minimum, shared body of rules to manage the global financial market,” lamenting the “overall abrogation of controls” on capital movements. While past Vatican pronouncements have condemned unfettered capitalism, the latest criticized “an economic liberalism that spurns rules and controls.” It also attacked “utilitarian thinking,” saying what is useful to the individual does not always favor the common good. PIQUA (AP) — While fall is in full swing and offering a recent batch of nice weather, the Rev. Kazy Blocher Hinds of Westminster Presbyterian Church knows that when the weather turns bad, the city’s homeless will need a nice, warm place to sleep like everyone else. Hinds, in addition to numerous other volunteers, helped organize and run Piqua’s Cold Shelter Network last year, which she said went extremely well for it’s inaugural year. The pastor said she expects even higher numbers this year as word of the network spreads and as members of the committee that organizes the network places their final touches on the program. The network in Piqua began last year in January and had several churches participating. This year, Hinds said three churches — Westminster Presbyterian Church, 325 W. Ash St.; the Madison Avenue First Church of God, 922 Madison Ave.; and the Congregational Christian United Church of Christ, 421 Broadway St. — have already signed on. Hinds, who with her husband, Joe, assisted similar shelters and homeless causes while residing in Atlanta, Ga., and company are currently trying to find additional churches to take part in the network and she said she thinks they will be able to do just that. Ideally, she said, the plan would involve seven churches which could each handle the one night a week of hosting the cold shelter. The network is always looking for volunteers, too. “Our dream is to have seven churches participating,” the pastor said. This year, the Cold Shelter Network will operate from Dec. 1 though the month of April on nights when the temperature is 32 degrees or below. Last year the network only opened on nights where it was 25 degrees cold or colder. Statistics kept over the winter reveal just how needed these types of cold shelters are even in a city the size of Piqua, Hinds said. “It’s pretty prevalent,” Hinds said of the issue of homelessness in Piqua. “Last year we heard stories from people who were living out of their cars in places like the Walmart parking lot so they could go in and go to the bathroom at night. It is a lifestyle that the homeless find themselves in — they find ways to live.” According to statistics released by the Cold Shelter Network, the past winter the network was open for 48 nights. One time one shelter had up to eight guests over a 48hour period. On several occasions some guests stayed more than one night. One guest used the shelter network 23 times while other guests stayed only a day or two. By Pastor Alex Colon Pastor Alex Colon The Daily Sentinel • Page A5 Know Biblical truth well enought to say the amen the preached word with a resounding “amen!” As Frank’s statement hovered in my mind from that point, it caused me to consider a critical factor. It takes people of the church who know what Biblical truth is to be able to reinforce Bible-based statements made by evangelists and pastors. But, therein is the cusp of the pointed problem with the postmodern church. It is not a matter that people of the church say “amen” or not during the course of a preached message. The more serious concern is how little most people of the church even know what the basic truths of God’s Word are. The Prophet Amos declared that a day would come when there would be a famine in the land. It would not be a famine for the lack of bread or thirst for water. It would rather be a famine “of hearing the words of the Lord.” But, the obvious precursor for such a spiritual deprivation certainly will be because God’s people have no obvious understanding of Biblical truth. This is certainly the sad spiritual state of the Christian church today. Those associated with the Church have not taken personal time to get to know the Word of God. Many quickly forsake assembling to spend corporate time together hearing the Word of God taught and preached. The truths of God’s Word are ignored. The words of Prophet Hosea ring true today as it involves knowing Biblical truth, “My people are destroyed for a lack of knowledge.” How can the people of the church walk spiritually correct according to the principles of God if they lack in knowing the truths of God? After having prepared at home to attend this revival service, it felt as though my left leg was shorter than my right leg for some reason. I could not figure it out. As the evangelist concluded his message and led the congregation to the invitation time with a prayer, I bent over in my chair to pray. But, before closing my eyes, I saw what my walking problem had been. I had put on two different shoes in which the soles and heels of the one were thicker than the other. Apostle Paul made it clear that a Christian is not properly prepared to walk in spiritual truth until our feet are correctly “shod with the preparation of the Gospel of peace.” Part of this expectation expects that we know the Word. Incidentally, those two shoes I had on were two different colors, too. You would think I would have known better. stands out in the middle of the road!” he finally managed. I let the severity of what had just happened sink in a moment, then asked, “Was it a good one?” Heath just shrugged, “Must’ve falling out of someone’s truck.” He was about to pull off when he noticed the passenger door open and me gone. “Get back here!” he demanded. It was too late. I disappeared into the darkness before he could even add, “I saw it first!” About eighty yards down I began to question my hasty decision. First, I still hadn’t come upon the deer stand; second, like a dummy I’d neglected to bring a flashlight. The night was so black the only thing I could see were the headlights of an eighteen-wheeler and a car racing towards me; side by side! Many times it’s in those darkest moments reality really sneaks up on you. I heard a voice, which I later determined to be my own, say, “There’s a swampy black river below, an obstacle in the road, and my narrow tail is stuck on a narrow bridge with untold tons of steel barreling towards me at eighty plus miles an hour! Hmmm… Not good.” I looked to Heath, but he couldn’t help me now. I thought of making a run for it, but who was I kidding, my feet were the only thing slower than my brain. Then the thought hit me, there were also those poor unsuspecting motorist to think of. This was not about a free deer stand anymore. People’s lives were at stake. I had to make a quality decision. I got to the deer stand just in time to scoop it off the road and realize I was caught in the piercing headlights of an impending doom. I had no place to go, no where to hide. I could jump, or I could pray for mercy. “JESUS!” I cried. His name was still on my lips when the car spotted me and locked the brakes. Whipping over, it left a smoldering skid mark nearly up to toe of my boots before miraculously sneaking in behind the big rig. I was left choking on a cloud of brake dust, spitting out burning rubber, but alive. Actually more so than I’d been in years! They rolled on, but not without laying on their horns. I found my second wind and made back for Heath’s truck like I was akin to lightning, deer stand in tow. Opening the tailgate, we looked it over. It was a sturdy model, still structurally sound. No owner information was to be found. (Yes, we checked.) Heath played his best cards trying to claim it, but in the end he knew it was mine. But anyway- If you think about it, the current state of this planet isn’t much more promising than that old bridge. Most of us are happily headed off into the darkness trying to acquire as much junk as possible, when God mercifully allows the piercing headlights of His Truth to shine upon our impending doom. Suddenly we realize there’s only one way to get off this planet alive! We must trust in God’s promise. (For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. Romans 10:13 KJV) All I can say is I hope this story helps shine a light on things for you. Everybody’s got to take a ‘stand’ you know. I pray you take yours for life. Not only for your own, but for the sake of those coming down the path that Jesus would have you help rescue. -Guy Sheffield You can visit Guy at his website www.butanyway.org, or email him at guy.sheffield@ butanyway.org. By Pastor Ron Branch First Baptist Church of Mason (Rob Grady, the pastor) hosted a series of revival meetings this week. I attended the Monday evening service. After I had taken a certain seat, long-time and faithful member, Frank Gilkey, entered the sanctuary and took his seat right in front of me. After a greeting and a handshake, Frank was quick to point out that the area in which we were sitting needed to serve as an “amen corner” as the evangelist preached. I grew up in evangelical churches where the term “amen corner” was often referenced. It is clearly an interesting term in terms of what it signifies. Within the context of the church, an “amen corner” would generally refer to any location in the sanctuary whereby individuals or groupings affirm Biblical truth as proclaimed by the preacher during the delivery of a sermon. A response of “amen” from any of the congregation serves in essence as a reinforcement of a Bible-based statement. “So be it,” as an amen is usually explained. But, Frank also added a needful insight that clicked in my soul. He said, “What the preacher says has to qualify first to get an ‘amen.’ Right?” Frank was indeed correct. If the evangelist was going to get any amen-responses from either of us, or anyone else in the sanctuary that evening, it would only come as he declared Biblical truth. As we would hear Biblical truth proclaimed, we would zealously reinforce Pastor Ron Branch Vatican urges major Sometimes you’ve got economic reform to take a stand for life Group will again offer shelter from the cold B y G uy S heffield It was the blackest part of a sullen night. Only occasionally did the pale moon poke its pocked face through a tear in the low veil of clouds, inspiring some hope the heavens had not folded up their majesty and gone in search of a more promising planet. The dawn’s crest lay sleepily still, tucked warmly beneath the blankets of the eastern horizon, so stoutly framed in Mississippi pines. I was missing my bed, but a man must stake an early claim if he wants to hunt a good patch of woods opening day. Thus my brother Heath had the tires of his four wheel drive whining and slapping a mean rhythm across the grooves of Interstate 55. The warm glow of the dashboard light proved hypnotic, and exceptionally conducive to persuading a fellow to catch a few winks. However, before I could even get my head bobbing proper, Heath’s coffee kicked in and he began chattering on like a starving squirrel scolding a nut thief. It didn’t seem to matter I was ignoring him, or shooting him looks like he was the nut. No sooner than I’d mastered the ability to tune him out the truck jerked violently to the left. There was a loud screech. I snapped awake just in time to see our headlights whipping off the bridge railing back towards the center line. A good shimmy or two later Heath was able to straighter her out without dumping us into the river below. It was good driving. “What are you doing,” I cried. His loose tongue must’ve suddenly found its way to the back of his throat, because he didn’t say a word until we’d made it off the bridge and pulled over. “There was one of those climbing deer �Friday, October 28, 2011 www.mydailysentinel.com The Daily Sentinel • Page A6 State issues can be tricky Official convicted in West for presidential field Virginia mine disaster CINCINNATI (AP) — Mitt Romney gingerly distanced himself from a labor issue on the Ohio ballot one day. The next, he embraced the initiative “110 percent.” The reversal not only highlights his record of equivocations but also underscores the local political minefields national candidates often confront in their state-by-state path to the presidency. Candidates visiting Nevada often wade into the debate about where nuclear waste should go. They’re pressed in South Carolina to take a stand on an aircraft maker’s labor dispute. In New Hampshire, they face questions about right-towork issues. And then there are the perennials, such as ethanol subsidies in Iowa and the Confederate battle flag in South Carolina. Such local issues aren’t of concern to most voters across the nation, but these topics can matter greatly to voters wanting to hear the thoughts of candidates soliciting support ahead of presidential primaries. Candidates often work to strike a balance between addressing issues local voters care about without staking out hardline positions that could hurt them elsewhere. “They’ve got to be careful about not weighing in on issues that are exclusively local. That could backfire,” said Kevin Smith, a conservative activist and likely Republican gubernatorial candidate in New Hampshire. “It’s something that could easily be blown up into something bigger than it ought to be.” As Romney proved this week, such local issues can trip up even the most cautious candidate, causing headaches for their national campaigns while hurting their standings in important states for both the primary and general elections. “Fully support that,” Romney said about the Ohio ballot initiative while visiting a local Republican Party office Wednesday in Fairfax, Va. The former Massachusetts governor was trying to fix a problem he created a day earlier during a trip to Terrace Park near Cincinnati. Romney visited a site where volunteers were making hundreds of phone calls to help Republicans defeat the Issue Two ballot effort to repeal Ohio Gov. John Kasich’s restrictions on public sector employee bargaining. Romney took a pass on supporting the measure just as a newly released Quinnipiac University poll indicated Ohio voters opposed the GOP-backed restrictions 57 percent to 32 percent. But Romney already had weighed in, supporting Kasich’s efforts in a June Facebook post. Republican and Democratic critics alike were quick to point out Romney’s waffling. His campaign rivals Rick Perry and Jon Huntsman fired off statements supporting the union restrictions, and Obama’s Ohio state campaign director, Greg Schultz, sent out emails Tuesday night to supporters noting Romney’s “sidestep.” Roughly 24 hours later, Romney clarified his support for Kasich. Even so, Huntsman, the former Utah governor languishing in polls, sought to gain ground by arguing that the episode demonstrated Romney’s failure to show leadership. “This is a time when if you are going to be president of the United States, you show a little presidential leadership,” he told ABC News. “That’s by taking a position and leading out — sometimes there is a risk associated with taking a position, but that’s all part of leadership.” And some observers questioned whether Romney’s response had less to do with the GOP primary, which Ohio will hold well after the early voting states, and more to do with the general election and the need to woo independent voters. On the other hand, Romney may lose the party loyalists he needs to get the GOP nomination by waffling on the matter. “The people who would be paying the most attention to this are probably the base of the Republican Party, and that’s why it has the potential to be most damaging to him,” said veteran Ohio political scientist Gene Beaupre of Xavier University. At one time, presidential candidates visiting Iowa would stumble over that state’s pet issue: support for subsidizing ethanol, the fuel additive the state leads in producing. But the issue has faded as a litmus test in the years since Bob Dole, a strong advocate, won the Iowa caucuses while opponent Phil Gramm of Texas finished a disappointing fifth. That hasn’t stopped Romney this year from noting his support for — and Perry’s opposition to — the federal renewable fuel standard as Romney seeks Iowa agribusiness’ support. In South Carolina, candidates always are asked about flying the Confederate battle flag on Statehouse grounds. Supporters say it honors heritage and valiant native sons; opponents, led by the NAACP, say it is a divisive reminder of slavery. Republicans usually say the flag is a state matter, but Arizona Sen. John McCain said after losing the 2000 primary that he should have spoken out on the issue and admitted that he feared opposing the flag would scuttle his chances in the state. WE WANT TO KNOW WHAT’S HAPPENING! BECKLEY, W.Va. (AP) — The probe of the worst U.S. coal-mining disaster in decades has produced its first conviction — a former mine security chief found guilty of lying to investigators. After the jury returned its verdict, prosecutors said nothing is off the table when it comes to the possibility of charges for others. It took jurors about six hours to find Hughie Elbert Stover guilty Wednesday on the lying charge and a second count of seeking to destroy thousands of security-related documents following the explosion that killed 29 men in 2010. So far, he’s the only person who’s been charged, but state and federal investigations continue. U.S. Attorney Booth Goodwin said prosecutors haven’t ruled out the possibility of charges for others. “There were serious matters that existed in this mine that didn’t just happen overnight or without the involvement of individuals,” he said. The jury had begun deliberating Wednesday morning after hearing two days of testimony, in which prosecutors painted Stover as an obstructionist and defense attorneys claimed he was a scapegoat. He remains free pending a Feb. 29 sentencing hearing. Stover faces an estimated two years in prison on the record-disposal count alone. Goodwin said prosecutors will seek as stiff penalty as possible to deter such conduct. Stover’s attorney, William Wilmoth, said it was too early to discuss any future motions or appeals. “While we’re disappointed at this result, we’re very appreciative of their services,” he said of the eight women and four men on the jury. The defense had portrayed the former law enforcement officer, a veteran of both the Navy and Marines, as a by-the-book employee who became a victim of the government’s zeal to blame someone for the deadly explosion. “You wanted justice, and this is who they brought you,” Wilmoth said during his closing argument. Assistant U.S. Attorney Blaire Malkin had earlier reminded jurors of testimony from others at the Raleigh County underground mine. These witnesses alleged that Stover instructed mine guards to send out alerts by radio whenever inspectors entered the property. Such a practice is illegal. One of the criminal charges alleges Stover denied in a November 2010 interview with investigators that there were any advance warnings at the mine. The other count alleges that Stover sought to destroy the documents the following January, by ordering a subordinate to bag and then throw them into an on-site trash compactor. Assistant U.S. Attorney Larry Ellis suggested to jurors Wednesday that those records would prove that Stover had lied about inspection tip-offs. The attempted disposal also violated repeated warning from the mine’s then-owner, Massey Energy, to keep all records while the disaster remained under investigation. Massey officials told investigators of the trashed documents, which were recovered. Wilmoth attributed Stover’s November statements to confusion over evolving policies at the mine, run by Massey subsidiary Performance Coal Co. As for the document disposal, Stover had called that the “stupidest, worst mistake” of his life when he testified Tuesday in his defense. Questioning criminal intent, Wilmoth said Stover could have burned, shredded or otherwise destroyed the records himself, instead of delegating the task of throwing them out to a subordinate during daylight hours and in front of a se- curity camera. Prosecutors said the documents were dumped around 6 a.m., and after being placed in trash bags. Hauling them out in their cardboard storage boxes would have drawn notice, as would Stover performing the deed himself, prosecutors argued. In urging jurors to acquit, Wilmoth argued that Stover’s actions amounted to innocent mistakes, citing how several witnesses had described him as by-thebook and honest. Rather than targeting mine executives or engineers who may be at fault for the deadly blast, prosecutors have seized on Stover in a game of “government gotcha,” Wilmoth told the jury. “We’re no closer to finding the real villain or villains behind this explosion,” said Wilmoth, a former U.S. attorney. “Instead, this is what they brought you.” Three investigative reports issued so far on the disaster have each concluded that poorly maintained machines cutting into sandstone created a spark that ignited both a small amount of naturally occurring methane gas and a massive accumulation of explosive coal dust. Malfunctioning water sprayers allowed what could have been a small flare-up to become an epic blast that traveled seven miles of underground corridors, doubling back on itself and killing men instantly. One of those reports was issued Tuesday by the United Mine Workers union, which criticized government regulators while slamming Massey. Labeling the disaster as “industrial homicide,” the findings urge criminal charges against a number of then-executives at Massey. Alpha Natural Resources of Abingdon, Va., acquired the Richmond-based Massey in June through a $7.1 billion takeover deal. Have a great recipe?

The field and stadium nestled neatly in a hollow just off East Main Street was the home of the Pomeroy Purple Panthers from 1950-1966, and the home of the Meigs Marauders from 1967 to present. The field for years was the gem of football fields in Southeastern Ohio. It was know for the hillside on two sides of the field, and the grandstand on the home sideline, and it gave fans a look of a horseshoe. On March 17, 1941 the Pomeroy Board of Education got the ball rolling on a new field when they adopted a resolution to purchase 13.4 acres from Helen B. and Ralston Russell for $13,500. On September 3RD the Board of Education voted to ask the voters to issue a bond for $61,000 and the Bond Issue carried by a 3-1 margin. The board signed with an Athens architect, but in May of 1942 the project was given a severe set-back when Federal Aid Projects were cut back. On February 5, 1946 the board made an application with the Federal Works Agency, and the loan application was approved on April 2, 1946. The architect was then authorized to proceed with the plans. On October 11, 1948 the board purchased part of the Koehler property adjacent to the Russell property. On May 23, 1949 the work actually began on the field, and on October 3, 1949 the grading was completed and grass was sown. On July 14, 1950 the board hired Desmonies Steel Company to build the grandstand and the Pomeroy Cement Block Company to erect the chain link fence. The lights were erected and the ticket booths completed in September of 1950. The first game was played against Wellston and the Panthers won by a 12-0 score with a paid of admission of 1,607 on September 29, 1950, climaxing the nine year project. Seats were only available for 799 fans. The rest of the crowd stood on the hillside or around the field. Up until this point Pomeroy played their home games at the home of their rival the Middleport Yellow Jackets. The stadium construction was started on October 5, 1950 and finished on October 14. The electric scoreboard was erected by the athletic boosters on October 12. Dedication of the new field was held on November 3rd against Gallipolis.

Eastern took its first lead at 10-9 and went on a 10-3 spurt, which gave the Green and White a comfortable 20-12 cushion. Whiteoak retaliated with a 7-1 surge to get within two points at 2119, but EHS closed Game 1 with four straight points for the six-point decision. Following a brief heartto-heart with EHS coach Howie Caldwell in between games, the Lady Eagles looked more focused in Game 2 – jumping out to a 13-0 advantage. WHS never came within more than 12 points the rest of the way, as Eastern cruised to a 25-5 decision and a 2-0 match advantage. Whiteoak led 2-0 in Game 3, but Eastern countered with six consecutive points before going on a 11-6 charge for a sizable 17-8 edge.

Lady Eagles advance to 10th straight district final By Bryan Walters Staff Report �Thursday, October 27, 2011 www.mydailysentinel.com Tigers blank Rio Grande, spoil Senior Night Rio Grande Sports Information RIO GRANDE, Ohio — Campbellsville’s Megan Campbell scored one goal and assisted on another to lead the Tigers in a 3-0 win over the University of Rio Grande, Saturday night, in Mid-South Conference women’s soccer action at a cold Evan E. Davis Field. Campbell, who entered the game as the leading goal scorer in the conference, gave her team the only marker it would need when she found the back of the net for the 14th time this season at 14:45 of the opening half. She also assisted on teammate Kaitlyn Bryan’s goal with 3:02 remaining in the contest to close out the scoring. In between, the Tigers (12-4 overall, 5-1 MSC) were the beneficiary of an unassisted goal at 66:39 by Rebekah Carl. The loss spoiled Senior Night for Rio Grande’s Jessica Preston, Kayla Graves, Rachel Carmin and Erica Nagel, all of whom were playing the final regular season home game of their collegiate careers. The quartet was honored in pregame ceremonies. The RedStorm slipped to 4-10 overall and 1-6 in league play with the loss, their fifth consecutive setback. URG has been shutout in three of the five straight losses and in seven of the 10 defeats this season. Freshman goalkeeper Allison Keeney recorded eight saves in the loss for Rio Grande, which was outshot 14-6. Brandie Hagerman had three stops in net for Campbellsville, which won for the seventh straight outing.

We aren’t going to be able to do that if we want to keep playing deep into the tournament.” Caldwell, however, quickly noted that the Lady Eagles still accomplished their ultimate goal Wednesday by advancing to Saturday. “The girls know that they didn’t play their best game tonight, but we still advanced,” Caldwell said. “There is something to be said about a team playing Era From Page B2 Wouldn’t you like to shop armed with $100 in grocery coupons of your choice each month? Turn $128.85* into $1,000 crowd in a 19-0 Gallipolis win, the wet weather took its toll on the new field as there was 13 fumbles between the two teams, 10 by the Panthers. Locker rooms were constructed by the Pomeroy Athletic Boosters in the summer of 1962 or 1963. The project was led by Bill Porter, Ed Arnold, Reno Lind and football coach Charles Chancey. Before this time the visiting team dressed on the stage at the Pomeroy Junior High School, while the home team dressed in a building less than its best and still winning in straight games. We are happy about that and the fact that we get to come down here again this weekend.” Eastern scored 54 of their 75 points at the service line and also had a respectable 46 kills in the triumph. Brenna Holter led Eastern at the service line with 15 points, followed by Baylee Collins with 14 points and Ally Hendrix with 11points. Jamie Swatzel and Gabby Hendrix each contributed five points, while Brooke Johnson added four points. Maddie Rigsby led the net attack with 15 kills, followed by Swatzel with 13 and Holter with 10. Jordan Parker added six kills and Erin Swatzel had two kills in the triumph. Parker and Jamie Swatzel had two blocks apiece, while Rigsby added one block. Ally Hendrix led the passing attack with 41 assists, followed by Holter, Parker and Jamie Swatzel with one assist each. Ally Avedisian led Whiteoak with five service points, followed by Jessie Gilliland with four points. Eastern swept the regular season series against Waterford in TVC Hocking play. EHS won at home 25-13, 25-22, 25-22 and also posted a 25-13, 25-19, 25-11 triumph at WHS. Waterford is also aiming for its second straight regional berth. The Lady Eagles, who are aiming for their seventh regional trip in school history, have now won nine consecutive matches in straight games and are 69-3 overall in games played this fall. Caldwell, who is now 15-2 alltime in district volleyball matches at EHS, believes that his club will be focused on the task at hand Saturday. “Olympians don’t train for the silver medal, they train to be the best,” Caldwell said. “We haven’t been working hard all year long to finish second. We’ll have our eyes on the prize Saturday and we’ll be ready to play.” behind the High School which recently was the Pomeroy City Hall. In the Mid 1960s, the schools of Pomeroy, Middleport and Rutland consolidated into Meigs High school and the field became the home of the Meigs Marauders. The field was home of the Southeastern Athletic Champions the first year of the Marauders. On September 7, 1990 the field was rededicated and named after longtime educator, coach and athletic booster Robert “Bob” Roberts. The field still carries his name. The new complex located on the campus of Meigs High School was started over four years ago when former Marauder star Mike Bartrum retired from the National Football League. Bartrum got together with former Marauder standouts Frank Blake and Steve Musser to get the ball rolling. From their committee’s of volunteers got us to where we are today. In 1950 it took nine years to complete the field, this time it has taken four years to reach the dream. *in county home delivery only by subscribing today to The Daily Sentinel DISH Network delivers more of what you want for less than you’d expect.

The weekly conference honor is the third of the season for Isberner and his second straight. Nomura picks up his fourth weekly award of the season after opening the season with three straight player of the week honors. After scoring 11 points two weeks ago, Isberner scored eight more last week to earn MSC Men’s Soccer Offensive Player of the Week. The Sao Paulo, Brazil, junior forward scored a goal and recorded three assists last Wednesday in the RedStorm’s 5-0 win over Shawnee State University. Isberner closed out his week with a goal and an assist on Saturday in an 8-1 win over Campbellsville University. Isberner leads the MidSouth and the NAIA with 50 points. He leads the MSC and ranks third nationally with 20 goals while his 10 assists this season is second best in the conference and 10th in the NAIA. No. 3-ranked Rio Grande is 13-1 overall and is second in the Mid-South Conference standings with a 6-1 record. Nomura recorded a pair of shutouts last week to earn MSC Men’s Soccer Defensive Player of the Week. The Tokyo, Japan, freshman goalkeeper opened the week with four saves in a 2-0 win over No. 9-ranked Bethel (Tenn.) University on Friday. Nomura ended his week without facing a shot in the Blue Raiders’ 10-0 win over University of Pikeville. Nomura leads the MidSouth and is third in the NAIA this season with a 0.41 goals against average. His eight saves lead the conference. No. 2-ranked Lindsey Wilson is 12-0 overall and leads the MSC with a 5-0 conference record. Rio volleyball sweeps UPike, extends win streak Rio Grande Sports Information PIKEVILLE, Ky. — The University of Rio Grande volleyball team ran its winning streak to four straight on Tuesday night, rolling to a 3-0 win over the University of Pikeville in a MidSouth Conference contest. The RedStorm earned the sweep by scores of 2624, 25-13 and 25-18 to improve to 18-13 overall and 5-5 in the MSC. The victory also clinched the top spot in the MSC East Division for head coach Billina Donaldson’s squad. Rio Grande can sew up the No. 4 seed in the upcoming MSC Tournament with either a loss by the Univ. of the Cumberlands to Campbellsville tonight or a win by the RedStorm in Friday night’s home finale against UVA-Wise. Junior outside hitter Whitney Smith again led URG with 14 kills, while also finishing with 16 digs and two blocks. Junior libero Lauren Raines had a team-high 17 digs and two service aces, while sophomore setter Kayla Landaker chipped in with 35 assists, four aces and a pair of kills. Sophomore defensive specialist Nicole Ogg contributed 11 digs and two aces, while freshman outside hitter Betsy Schramm and junior middle blocker Erin Sherman had nine kills each. Schramm also had five blocks, while Sherman finished with a pair. Sophomore defensive specialist Kelsey Martin also got in on the winning effort with eight digs and two aces. Pikeville slipped to 7-22 overall and 0-11 in league play with the loss. Rio’s home finale with UVA-Wise on Friday is set for 5 p.m. The RedStorm will conclude the regular season schedule on Saturday with a tri-match at Notre Dame College against the host Falcons and Fairmont (W.Va.) State. this season at 14:45 of the opening half. She also assisted on teammate Kaitlyn Bryan’s goal with 3:02 remaining in the contest to close out the scoring. In between, the Tigers (12-4 overall, 5-1 MSC) were the beneficiary of an unassisted goal at 66:39 by Rebekah Carl. The loss spoiled Senior Night for Rio Grande’s Jessica Preston, Kayla Graves, Rachel Carmin and Erica Nagel, all of whom were playing the final regular season home game of their collegiate careers. The quartet was honored in pregame ceremonies. The RedStorm slipped to 4-10 overall and 1-6 in league play with the loss, their fifth consecutive setback. URG has been shutout in three of the five straight losses and in seven of the 10 defeats this season. Freshman goalkeeper Allison Keeney recorded eight saves in the loss for Rio Grande, which was outshot 14-6. Brandie Hagerman had three stops in net for Campbellsville, which won for the seventh straight outing. Tigers blank Rio Grande, spoil Senior Night Rio Grande Sports Information RIO GRANDE, Ohio — Campbellsville’s Megan Campbell scored one goal and assisted on another to lead the Tigers in a 3-0 win over the University of Rio Grande, Saturday night, in Mid-South Conference women’s soccer action at a cold Evan E. Davis Field. Campbell, who entered the game as the leading goal scorer in the conference, gave her team the only marker it would need when she found the back of the net for the 14th time PITTSBURGH (AP) — Brett Keisel’s shortterm memory is a little hazy. Actually, his long-term memory is clouded, too, at least when it comes to the New England Patriots. The Pittsburgh defensive end isn’t quite sure how many times Tom Brady has beaten the defending AFC champions. Is it four? Five? All Keisel knows is, whatever the number is — six, actually — it’s too many. He also knows he’s not dwelling on it heading into their showdown Sunday at Heinz Field. “I really haven’t thought about what they’ve done in the past, honestly,” Keisel said. Good idea. The Steelers have won 129 games (including a pair of Super Bowls) since Brady took over as the Patriots’ starting quarterback in 2001. Only one of those victories came against the two-time MVP. Does that mean New England is in the Steelers’ heads? Keisel has the ultimate respect for the Patriots, but he’s not ready to go there. “If they feel good about themselves for beating us back in whenever, and it’s an advantage for them, so be it,” Keisel said. The Patriots haven’t just beaten the Steelers through the years, however, they’ve dominated. New England’s average margin of victory against Pittsburgh since 2001 is 12.3 points with only one game decided by fewer than seven points. Impressive, to be sure. Also, the Steelers point out, irrelevant. “The amazing thing is none of that counts,” safety Ryan Clark said. “They clearly have no reason to be afraid of us, but neither do we.” Maybe, though the Steelers (5-2) are well aware they’ve played second fiddle to the Patriots (5-1) over the last decade in which the two organizations combined to win half the Super Bowls and seven AFC titles. “That’s how it always is,” linebacker LaMarr Woodley said. “They’ve got a great organization, great coaches, great players. Last time I checked, we were pretty good, too.” Just not good enough to beat Brady. The Steelers insist there’s no secret formula to beating Brady. Put pressure on him, disrupt his timing and try to put him on the ground. “If I knew the reason why they’ve beaten us more than we’ve beaten them, we wouldn’t have that problem anymore,” nose tackle Casey Hampton said. “So, we’ve just got to go out there and do what we do.” And just do it better than they’ve done it in the past even if Brady seems immune to whatever schemes the Steelers throw at him. If they blitz, he finds the hot receiver. If they drop back and give him time, he picks them apart. Brady’s numbers against the Steelers seem as if they’ve come out of a video game. He has racked up 2,008 yards passing with 14 touchdowns against three interceptions against Pittsburgh, remarkable statistics against any team, mindblowing considering the Steelers annually rank among the league’s top defenses. This year is no different. The Steelers are third in the league in average yards against and first against the pass. Yet Brady is in a different league than the likes of Curtis Painter, Blaine Gabbert and Tarvaris Jackson, and the Steelers know it. New England has beaten the Steelers in a variety of ways. Early in Brady’s career the Patriots relied on the defense and running game. Now coach Bill Belichick lets his quarterback throw it all over the field. Whatever button the Patriots push works. That’s typically not the way it goes when teams face the Steelers. “You see them one week and they do this, then the next week they do something completely different,” Clark said. “One week it’s five receivers and the next it’s two tight ends.” Friday’s TV Thursday’s TVGuide Guide And sometimes it’s both in the same game. The Patriots slogged to a 10-3 halftime lead a year ago only to pull away for a 39-26 victory, with Brady throwing for 350 yards and three scores. “We scored points and our defense played pretty good but it was like something that was missing, like we were trying but we just couldn’t get there,” Steelers receiver Mike Wallace said. “You always going to keep that in the back of your head that you have to beat this team because of what happened.” If the Steelers need advice on how to turn things around, they need only look within their own locker room. Wide receiver Jerricho Cotchery spent seven seasons in New York before signing with Pittsburgh during training camp. The Patriots whipped the Jets regularly early in Cotchery’s career before New York evened things out over the last three seasons. The Jets went 4-3 against New England from 2008-10, including an upset victory last season in the divisional playoffs that served as an exclamation point in one of the AFC’s most heated rivalries. How did the Jets go from patsies to Patsbeaters? Cotchery says it started with an attitude adjustment. Former Jets coach Eric Mangini — a longtime New England assistant — gave his players the belief they could hang with New England. Rex Ryan, Mangini’s replacement, took it a step further by telling the team to ignore New England’s star power and just hit the delete button. It’s a lesson Keisel is already following. Cotchery thinks it would be wise for the rest of his new teammates to follow suit. “You just have to play ball, you don’t play history,” he said. “It’s not Steelers versus history. It’s Steelers vs. Patriots.” �Thursday, OcTOber 27 2011 Thursday, October 27, 2011 BLONDIE BEETLE BAILEY FUNKY WINKERBEAN HAGAR THE HORRIBLE HI & LOIS MUTTS www.mydailysentinel.com ComiCs/EntErtainmEnt The Daily Sentinel • Page B5 Dean Young/Denis Lebrun Mort Walker Today’s Answers Tom Batiuk Chris Browne Brian and Greg Walker THE LOCKHORNS William Hoest Patrick McDonnell Jacquelene Bigar’s Horoscope zITS THE FAMILY CIRCUS Bil Keane DENNIS THE MENACE Hank Ketchum Jerry Scott and Jim Borgman CONCEPTIS SUDOKU by Dave Green HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Thursday, Oct. 27, 2011: This year you sparkle and express high energy.

The one thing that is beyond debate is Clint Bowyer’s continued strength on NASCAR’s plate tracks. Bowyer made a last-lap pass of teammate Jeff Burton in the Good Sam Club 500 at Talladega Superspeedway on Sunday to earn his first win of the 2011. It was Bowyer’s second victory in the last three Talladega events and third straight finish of first or second. It was also his final plate-track start for team owner Richard Childress, as Bowyer will head to Michael Waltrip Racing at season’s end. “It’s just so important to me to be able to cap off such a good relationship with Richard,” Bowyer said. “Everybody at RCR — it’s like family over there. (It) meant a lot for me to be able to win before we end this deal. “The stars were lined up today with having the 100th anniversary of Chevrolet (paint scheme) on the racecar. If I won the race, it was going to be Richard’s 100th win. Too many things meant to be for it not to be. I’m excited that it was.” Childress stood to pick up his organization’s 100th win one way or another. Bowyer and Burton, who combined to lead 51 laps on the afternoon, led the field to green with two laps remaining following a vicious wreck involving Regan Smith, Mark Martin, Marcos Ambrose, Denny Hamlin and Juan Pablo Montoya. The duo’s restart was flawless, and they quickly drafted away from a snarling pack of cars jockeying for position. “Right at the split second I touched his bumper, one of the Red ^ CHASE FOR THE SPRINT CUP ^ 915 896 887 878 847 846 841 841 -1,322 -1,341 -1,350 -1,359 -1,390 -1,391 -1,396 -1,396 Nationwide Standings 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10.

Clint Bowyer serves up some victory donuts for the fans on hand at the Good Sam Club 500 at Talladega Superspeedway on Sunday. Bull cars hit me in the butt,” Bowyer said of the final restart. “It just launched us out there. The rest was history. I was able to get up through the gearbox, shove him (and) it got us away. At that split second, they came to a halt and split up and were racing two- and three-wide. We were able to drive off into the sunset.” The tandem of Dave Blaney and Brad Keselowski — who worked with one another all day — finished third and fourth. Brain Vickers and Kasey Kahne were fifth and sixth. Points leader Carl Edwards and teammate Greg Biffle stayed hooked together throughout the afternoon, as well. The Roush Fenway pair lagged back, staying out of harm’s way and avoiding three accidents in the race’s final 25 laps. Edwards increased his lead in the championship standings with an 11th-place showing. Matt Kenseth, who slipped to an 18th-place result, is second, 14 points back. Keselowski’s top-5 run slots him third, 18 points behind Edwards, while Tony Stewart’s seventh-place finish has him 19 markers out of the Chase lead. “I don't know that I’ve ever been Throttle Up/Throttle Down KASEY KAHNE A lame-duck driver on what may be a lame-duck team are not letting the future interfere with the present.

JAMIE MCMURRAY A beast on the restrictor plate tracks the last two seasons, McMurray’s best finish at Daytona and Talladega in 2011 is 18th. He was 29th on Sunday, and without a top 10 since late August. Compiled and written by Matt Taliaferro. Follow Matt on Twitter @MattTaliaferro or email at Matt.Taliaferro@AthlonSports.com No one driver wins the Chase at Talladega, but many lose it. Edwards did neither, which is a good thing for him. Expect top-10 runs from here on out. Edwards’ teammate and the 2003 champ, Kenseth, sits just 14 points back in second. Both are good (Texas, Homestead) and weak (Martinsville) at the same tracks. At 26 points out, is Harvick done? Probably not, but his chances are on life support. The car his team is bringing to Martinsville this weekend has two wins in six starts — including at Martinsville in April. Survives big, bad Talladega, notching the best finish (fourth) among all Chase drivers. At 18 points back in the title hunt, you have to like the kid’s chances. Food for thought: The last time Johnson had two straight finishes outside of the top 20 during the Chase, he won the next three races. Has elbowed his way back into title contention with consecutive runs of eighth and seventh. At fourth in the standings and 19 points out, Smoke may be that final driver with a good look at a title. Making up 40 points in the standings with four races remaining is unrealistic, and that’s where Kyle and the boys find themselves. Don’t be surprised if the lifted weight propels Busch to a win or two. Four of his six Chase races have resulted in finishes of eighth or better, including, of course, the big win at ’Dega. It may be the last one he sees for a while since MWR isn’t known as a big-win operation. Gordon’s 27th at Talladega and the events that conspired to contribute to it may have been frustrating, but say this about him: He seemed to be the only Hendrick car that wanted to go to the front and race. Kahne’s average finish in the last six races is 7.1, including four straight runs of sixth or better. It’s a shame everything is coming together for this bunch as the season winds down. Back-to-back solid finishes with his favorite stop — Martinsville — up next. Leads all drivers on the circuit with a 10.2-place average finish on the plate tracks in 2011. Winless thus far in 2011. That’s only happened once to the Biff in eight full-time Cup seasons. It ain’t getting any prettier, but I get hate mail if he’s not at least ranked in the top 15. The final results (24th) don’t back up the great run Logano had at ’Dega with a torn up car. AJ Allmendinger, Jeff Burton, Mark Martin, Ryan Newman, Martin Truex Jr. NASCAR announced on Tuesday that it has suspended a total of six crew members of Michael Waltrip Racing’s and JTG Daugherty Racing’s No. 00, 47 and 56 teams for unapproved modifications to the windshields at Talladega. NASCAR had previously confiscated the windshields while at the track. The three crew chiefs — Rodney Childers, Frank Kerr and Chad Johnston — were also fined $50,000 each. In addition, the car chiefs for all three teams were suspended, while MWR’s director of competition, Bobby Kennedy, has been placed on probation until Dec. 31. Also, all three teams were docked 25 driver’s and owner’s points. None of the drivers involved — David Reutimann, Bobby Labonte and Martin Truex Jr. — are in the Chase. n Daytona 500 winner Trevor Bayne and four-time champion Jeff Gordon claim they’ve made peace after a wild scramble in the n excited about 11th place,” Edwards said. “This race was one that is nerve-wracking for everyone. We came in here with a small points lead and we’re leaving with a bigger one. That’s a huge day for us.” Jimmie Johnson’s bid for a sixth consecutive Sprint Cup championship may have taken a fatal blow. Johnson and teammate Dale Earnhardt Jr. were paired as drafting partners, but when it came time for one final run to the front, they stalled out, finishing 25th (Earnhardt) and 26th (Johnson). “As we went to make our switch, the pack was organized and with the green-white-checkered situation, there’s not a lot of time to get organized,” said Johnson, now 50 points behind Edwards. “We lost our momentum there and got to the outside and kind of stalled out up on the top and finished far worse than we had hoped to. “We’ll just keep fighting. Every position counts. Every spot counts. And I want to finish as high as I can in the points. If it isn’t the championship, I want to finish as high as I can possibly finish.” late stages of the Talladega race, having hashed out their differences in a phone call. Bayne and Gordon agreed to draft with one another on the event’s final restart, but when fellow Ford driver and quasi-Roush Fenway teammate Matt Kenseth lost his drafting partner, Bayne dumped Gordon and hooked up with the No. 17. Bayne finished 15th, while Gordon plummeted to 27th. Gordon was agitated on the cool-down laps, telling his crew that he would remember the move. Bayne later said via Twitter that, “I’m not happy about what this has become. It’s too premeditated. We should be able to go with whoever is around. I would have rather pulled over and finished last than tell (Gordon) I would work with him and then be strong armed into bailing.” Ford officials insist Bayne was not instructed to go with his teammate, although rumors had swirled all weekend that Ford drivers were told not to draft with any Chase driver not in a Ford.

Being able to get good forward bite off the corner allows for passing and plenty of speed in the straightaways, then braking hard twice a lap at the entrance to Turns 1 and 3 takes its toll. It’s not nearly as fast as Bristol, but we have as much contact at Martinsville as we do at Bristol. There aren’t as many incidents because the pace is slower. The faster you run, the more you’re on the edge of grip. When you lose grip, you make more contact. It’s inevitable, but a driver has to keep cool.

Athlon Fantasy Stall Looking at Checkers: Prior to a 12th in April, Denny Hamlin had averaged a 2.4-place finish in his last nine Martinsville starts. Pretty Solid Pick: Jimmie Johnson and Jeff Gordon are the other two you have to keep an eye on. Good Sleeper Pick: This is one of Junior’s favorites, made evident by his 12 top 10s in 23 starts.
