Reed BReed@Mydailysentinel.com POMEROY — With just about a month left to pay 2011 bills, Meigs County Commissioners will soon begin meeting with elected county officials and department heads to begin planning for next year’s general fund budget. At their regular meeting on Thursday, commissioners discussed their strategy for planning next year’s operating budget. Earlier in the year, commissioners discussed the possibility of mid-year budget cuts and even layoffs in light of anticipated dwindling revenue into the general fund. Things have been better than commissioners first anticipated, and now the county will likely end the year in better shape than the board expected. Board President Michael Bartrum said the county’s general fund got a muchneeded reprieve mid-year, when the state legislature approved a guarantee of funds from the Local Government Fund for counties receiving $750,000 or less a year. That money, which comes directly from the state, was threatened with cuts during the biennial budgeting process, but local officials in small, rural counties were able to save their allocations and possibly some of their local departmental operations. Sales tax revenue has also exceeded expectations this year, Bartrum said, and the proceeds from both real estate tax collection periods were up this year over last year’s. Still, there is uncertainty in the planning process for next year’s budget, and the carryover of cash into next year, which helps finance county operations until real estate tax collections are completed in March, will be extremely important. “We are anxiously awaiting the most recent figures so we can start to figure out what has been used, and what will be needed for the end of the year,” Commissioner Tim Ihle said. “We should know more soon, and then we can begin meeting with officials.” The most important figure in the process, Ihle said, will be the estimated revenue for next year. This year’s revenue was as much as $180,000 more than the county budget commission first expected in January, commissioners said yesterday. During their regular business meeting, commissioners: Approved payment of bills in the amount of $256,141.85. Tabled a request for an additional appropriation of $7,861 for the public defender line item, pending information from the county auditor. Approved an amendment to language in the county’s Prevention, Retention and Contingency Plan, under which programs of the Department of Job and Family Services operate. Excused Commissioner Tom Anderson. Attending the meeting were Commissioners Bartrum and Ihle and Clerk Gloria Kloes.

The band completed its competition season at the Tri-State Marching Band Festival held on the campus of Marshall University in Huntington, W. Va. Th Marauders competed in Class AA and were overall high music,and overall high general effect. On Oct. 15 the Marauders traveled to Lawrence County and competed in two events at the Green High School Marching Competition and the Ironton Buckeye Classic. At Green Meigs placed second in Class A with the guard winning first place in its class. At the Ironton event, the band marched to victory, receiving high overall general effect, first place class A band, first place guard, third place percussion, and second runner-up to grand champion band. The MHS flag corps had an undefeated season. Dingess described the band as “achieving the goals set when members first came together as a band last summer.” He said the band members “fully embraced the 2011 program and were determined to find their personal best with each performance. He concluded by describing this year”s band as “one of finest groups of students I have had the pleasure of directing.” Staff report MASON, W.Va. — Mason County Office of Emergency Services announced a national broadcasting event to take place next week across the United States. R.C. Faulk, deputy director of the county’s emergency services, said the national emergency alert system test at 2 p.m. on Nov. 9 will be the first ever of its kind. The national Emergency Alert System requires all broadcasters, cable television systems, radio, satellite audio radio receivers, and broadcast satellite providers make available to the President of the United States their broadcasting assistance during a national emergency. The system can also be used by state and local authorities to devlier emergency information, including weather warnings and AMBER alerts. For the first time since the EAS was introduced, the Federal Communications Commission has mandated that all EAS stations participate in a nationwide activation and test session of the system. During EAS test, every station in the U.S. will broadcast the same test message. “It is very important to know this is a scheduled test and that no action is required on the part of the citizen,” Faulk said. “There is no cause for citizens to be concerned.” He said it is important that citizens not call 911 for inquiries relating to the test broadcast, as the line needs to be kept open for emergencies. Special prosecutor reviewing GED case By Beth Sergent bsergent@heartlandpublications.com POINT PLEASANT — The investigation into whether or not a current member of the Mason County Board of Education sold GEDs to residents while she was a local teacher remains “under review,” according to the case’s special prosecutor. Board Member Teresa L. Warner, also an educator, was arrested in July of last year and charged with one count of fraudulent schemes by investigators with the Mason County Detachment of the West Virginia State Police. Those investigators allege Warner sold GEDs to residents from 2002-10 — a charge Warner has been fighting since last year. State troopers investigating the case have also been waiting over a year for some kind of resolution. Due to a conflict of interest in Mason County, Putnam County’s Prosecuting Attorney Mark Sorsaia has the case and was named the special prosecutor. If he feels the evidence is there, Sorsaia would be the one to present to a grand jury, which hasn’t happened so far. Sgt.

Starcher made his feelings about the delay known to a Charleston newspaper last month and this week to the Point Pleasant Register. Science When contacted about the case this week, Sorsaia said his office typically doesn’t confirm or deny the existence of an investigation because it’s not fair to the person being investigated but added, “this case is in my office…I’m in the process of reviewing it.” Sorsaia said he was aware of the recent newspaper article and explained, “We are looking at it (the case), despite the comment of the trooper, we are taking the case very seriously.” Sorsaia then said after a review, he would make a professional evaluation about whether the case would go forward, adding, “We’re still in it. I don’t want people to think we’re finished with it — we’re not.” The Point Pleasant Register contacted Warner for a comment though she declined on the advice of her attorneys James Casey and Mike Shaw.

Kardashian apologizes for failed marriage LOS ANGELES (AP) — Kim Kardashian says she never meant to hurt anyone by ending her marriage after just 72 days. The 31-year-old reality star posted a message to her fans on her website Tuesday, one day after filing for divorce from Kris Humphries, whom she married in a lavish ceremony that aired as a twohour TV special on E! Kardashian says children; two sisters, Emma Edmunds of Gallipolis and Edie (Donald) Hooper of Hanover, Pennsylvania. In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by a brother, Early Hayman, and a half sister, Bessie Saxton.

Kardashian says she takes “full responsibility for my actions and decisions,” adding “it just didn’t turn out to be the fairy tale I had so badly hoped for.” “I want a family and babies and a real life so badly that maybe I rushed into something too soon,” she says. Kardashian and Humphries dated for nine months before marrying in August. She goes on to say that reports that she made millions of dollars off the wedding “are simply not true RESIDENTS!

The walk participants presented information on the lives and deaths of early Welsh settlers buried in the cemetery. According to Jay Williams in his book “Songs of Praise,” Carmel was one of seven Congregational churches in Jackson and Gallia counties founded by the Welsh. From the beginning Carmel was aligned with the Congregational church in nearby Centerville. The Welsh dissolved the chapel many years ago and the church has been used by a number of different denominations over the years. There were old Welsh Bibles in the chapel as late as 1994. The Welsh pioneers and the presenters were: William E. Evans by Roger Carter; David J. Edwards by Bob Powell; Ann Edwards by Vicki Powell; Evan Lewis by David Summers; Elizabeth Davis by Jenny Taylor; Albert D. Davis by David Jenkins; Jane J. Davis by Elizabeth Davis; Thomas Richards by Bob Ervin; Jane R. Richards by Lucy Hannah Thomas; and Jane D. Davis by Anna Summers. The annual Welsh cemetery walk is sponsored by the Cardigan Welsh Club, The Welsh-American Heritage Museum and the Madog Center for Welsh Studies. Research on the early pioneers is done by David Summers with Mildred Bangert assisting with writing the stories. MIDDLEPORT -— The Middleport Relay Center will be open to receive shoe boxes filled with gifts for Operation Christmas Child from Nov. 14 to Nov. 21. Bronwyn Williams is in charge of the collec- tion center located at Hope Baptist Church, 570 Grant Street, in Middleport. During collection week the church will be open from 9 to 11 a.m. and 1 to 4 p.m. on Monday, and 1 to 4 p.m. for the rest of the week including Sunday to receive the shoe boxes. While many Meigs families are busy already with holiday activities, a group of local volunteers are focusing on filling empty shoe boxes with school supplies, toys, hygiene items and notes of encour- agement for needy kids overseas. It is reported that through Operation Christmas Child, 86 million gifts have been delivered worldwide since 1993. It is considered the world’s largest Christmas project for children. NEW ORLEANS (AP) — First lady Michelle Obama led toddlers at a New Orleans daycare center in calisthenics and read them a book about a mouse that eats green peas, bidding to get America’s children eating better and exercising more. Obama stretched, jumped and marched in place before reading to the children who gathered in a classroom with their parents and teachers at the Royal Castle Child Development Center. The center focuses on preschoolers from families with moderate and low incomes. In June, the first lady announced a new national initiative called “Let’s Move,” designed to get child care centers to promote healthy eating and exercise habits. She promoted that initiative here after speaking at a fundraiser earlier in the day for the Democratic National Committee in New Orleans. At the daycare center, the first lady read Denise Fleming’s book titled “Lunch,” about a mouse that eats vegetables and fruit. During the reading, she asked the children to raise their hands if they liked to eat corn. Many of the children raised their hands, prompting the first lady to declare: “I love corn.” On another page, the mouse eats green peas. “Do you know who likes these?” the first lady said. “President Obama.” With gusto, she also read from “Where the Wild Things Are,” the children’s classic by Maurice Sendak. Her voice rose and fell with the drama of the book, which she said was one of her family’s favorites. The first lady’s “Let’s Move” child care checklist stresses five principles: —Provide one to two hours of physical activity daily. —No TV or media screen time for children under age 2. Limit screen time for older children to no more than 30 minutes per week during child care, and ensure children have no more than one to two hours of quality screen time per day overall. —Serve fruits and vegetables at every meal, eaten family-style when possible and no fried foods. —Provide access to water throughout the day, and do not serve sugary drinks. —Support mothers who want to breast-feed by pro- viding mother’s milk to infants and welcoming mothers who want to breast-feed their children during the child-care day. At the earlier fundraiser, Obama spoke to a crowd of prominent Democratic supporters, including New Orleans Mayor Mitch Landrieu and U.S. Rep. Cedric Richmond. She urged the crowd to back her husband’s reelection and highlighted what she said were his accomplishments — from passing health care reform to success in the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. “This is going to require every single one of us to work so hard to fight so forcefully to help people understand the stakes and the choices,” she said. She was introduced by Wendell Pierce, the New Orleans actor who stars on HBO’s Treme drama series and co-hosted the event attended by about 100 people. Tickets to it sold for $5,000. “This journey is going to be long, and it most definitely will be hard,” she said of the presidential campaign. Volunteers and supporters, she said, must engage other voters and be aggressive. Invoking buzz words of the 2008 campaign, she said: “The reality is that’s how change always happens in this country. Real change is slow. Real change doesn’t happen overnight. But if we keep showing up, if we keep fighting the good fight . we always get there.” Operation Christmas Child shoe box collection begins First lady in La. urges more green peas, exercise Vote For and Re-Elect Christopher T.

Dear Dr. Brothers: I have had to install privacy curtains on one whole side of my home because of my next-door neighbor. She is a divorcee who seems to have a lot of time on her hands — time to spy on me and come over to discuss my life! She always talks about the black sports car in my driveway (my boyfriend’s) and what the delivery man brought (none of her business!). How do I get her to develop some other interests besides me? Help! — F.W. Dear F.W.: Your neighbor sounds like a lonely and needy person. You sound fed up and eager to get rid of her. She probably can sense this attitude, and that makes her feel even more friendless and act even more clingy. And so it goes! What your neighbor needs is something else to think about or do. The question is, Do you want to invest the time and effort in trying to help her become more independent? It doesn’t seem as though anyone else is going to do it. My idea is to get her involved with some projects, hobbies or community volunteering groups, which will begin to absorb her time and interest. Although most of your encounters with the neighbor have focused on your own comings and goings, try to think about what hobbies she’s mentioned or interests she may have expressed while you’ve been together. Most communities have so many things going on for adults to join in that you can at least pick up a brochure from your town hall or leisure activities department. Encourage her to attend church or exercise classes, or take a course in beginning quilting. Or maybe it’s time to redecorate her home. Know of another lonely person who might like her company? There’s a lot you can do to point her in a different direction. *** Dear Dr. Brothers: I had the worst experience yesterday and wanted to see if you could give me any suggestions. I love to be part of groups, and I joined a photo club where the members share their pictures and critique them (very gently). What I didn’t realize is that each person had to talk about Dr. Joyce Brothers Advice Columnist their shots in the room full of 45 people! I am way too scared to talk in public, and I was only able to croak out one sentence, with my voice trembling. Is there any hope for me? — D.D. Dear D.D.: Of course there is hope — especially since you know you have a lot to contribute to the photo club and elsewhere. It’s just a matter of letting go of the fears you have that are holding you back. I’m sure you know that public speaking is always at the top of the list of things people with phobias complain about. And I’m sure most of the people in the room have sympathy for what you were going through in your first meeting — after all, many of them must have had butterflies in their stomach, too. What you need to do is figure out how they overcame those and went on to make an effective presentation. One way is to practice, practice, practice. Make a point of lecturing your friends and family and stand in front of a mirror as you work on a presentation. Find a format of notecard and shorthand that works for you, if you are permitted to use them. Tape a presentation and play it back, trying to improve your delivery each time. And if you have a group in your community whose purpose is to stand up and talk in public, join it! Soon you will be used to your new role and won’t be uncomfortable. Don’t be discouraged; just start working on it. The more you talk out loud to some kind of audience — even your dog — the easier it will be to do the real thing.

However, few who hold to “relativism” are willing to defend the system to its logical and absolute end. Consider: a society decides to kill all children under age 8 as a means of population control. All humans who haven’t been brainwashed to the degree they suppress their natural moral code, would say a decision to kill all children age 8 and under is wrong. “Hedonism” is the philosophy which claims the aim of “moral” conduct is to achieve the greatest possible pleasure with the least amount of pain. The famous atheist, Aldous Huxley gave his reason for insisting on a society where “meaninglessness” was supreme: he knew morality interfered with his “sexual freedom,” so he wanted a world with no meaning. The fruit of “hedonism” is clearly seen today. While “hedonism” says a pleasurable action which doesn’t really hurt anyone is acceptable, sexually transmitted diseases, teen pregnancies, babies infected with AIDS, a person’s multiple divorces - none can say these tragedies hurt no one. “Utilitarianism” is the belief system which suggests “good” is determined by what produces the greatest amount of pleasure for the greatest number of people. Katherine Tait is the only daughter of British agnostic Bertrand Russell. In her book, “My Father, Bertrand Russell,” she describes life in their household. Her father believed each person enters a moral world, but she learned early he could not defend his position. Her father would tell her she “ought” to do something; though a child, she would ask, “I don’t want to; why should I?” Rather than replying, as most parents would, “because I say so,” or “because God says so,” Mr. Russell could only say, “because more people will be happy if you do than if you don’t.” Her childish reply: “I don’t care about other people,” to which Mr. Russell would reply, “O, but you should.” Ms. Tait could see the circular reasoning, and was unconvinced. Most of you readers have heard of “situation ethics,” which means the “rightness” of an action is determined by the “situation.” “Situationism” says nothing is always right or always wrong; each situation determines what is “right” or “wrong.” “Situationism” leaves its believers with a moral compass that swings wildly as each situ- ation arises. “Determinism” says man isn’t really responsible for his actions. This belief claims that the long evolutionary process has instilled in man certain instincts that determine his actions. Therefore, man can do anything he feels like doing and not be held responsible for it. There would be no action, no matter how cruel, for which one could be held responsible; so there would be no justification for any law, for courts, for judges, for jails. Looking over these 5 belief systems, there is one common thread through all of them: man doesn’t want to accept God’s sovereign power to make rules, but wants to make his own rules. Uncertainty, chaos, disorder, and cruelty are the results of man’s unwillingness to obey God. Bible students know that God’s rules are made for man’s happiness and successful living among all human beings. Consider a few rules God has made: From very early, God expected man to worship in accordance with His instructions. Hebrews 11:4 tells us Abel worshipped “by faith,” and we know faith comes by hearing God’s Word [Romans 10:17]. Murder was unacceptable, and received punishment [Genesis 4:10,11]. Fornication is sin against one’s own body, and God says, “Flee” it [1 Corinthians 6:18]. God hates divorce [Malachi 2:14-16], and permits remarriage after a divorce only if the divorce took place because one’s spouse has committed adultery [Matthew 19:9]. God warns against lying [Colossians 3:9; Ephesians 4:25], and lying will result in one’s being eternally separated from God [Revelation 21:8; 22:15]. God requires obedience to the governmental authorities [Romans 13:17] [the only exception is if, or when, the government makes laws that go against God’s law - Acts 4:5-20; especially vs. 19,20]. This thumbnail sketch of some of God’s laws shows clearly He has specific requirements for man. One who learns and obeys His laws can live a secure, successful life. He will be a just and loving parent; his marriage will be stable and enduring; he will be a model citizen of his nation, and a good neighbor. Unlike the doubt, confusion, and insecurity of the 5 belief systems noted above, there will be no situation in which he will be unsure of the right behavior and the right attitude. Yes, readers, God designed the Universe in which we exist, the Planet on which we live, and the moral code by which each of us can safely guide our lives.

Call The Daily Sentinel 740.992.2155 Lighthouse Assembly of God Gallipolis, Ohio The following statement will cause all the religious teaching you may have received to scream inside of you. The statement is this: “We seek God to be rewarded.” While many will argue that the reason why they seek God is because they love God and nothing else, yet the truth still remains, that the reason we continue to seek God is to be rewarded. Let me ask you this: Why do you pray? That’s a form of seeking God. Why do you give your offerings into the kingdom? That’s a form of seeking. Remember that giving includes seeking. I wish I had enough room to explain all the details as to why we seek to be rewarded. But I will attempt to provide enough information to suffice this truth. The Bible word “Reward” tells us in Hehas a much difbrews 11:6 ferent mean“without faith ing, which it is impossible is to heal, to to please Him, restore, to refor he who instate and to comes to God prosper again, must believe and again, and that He is, and again. that He is a reNow you warder of those see why we who diligently seek God to be seek Him.” Pastor Alex Colon rewarded?

This also deals the earth. Therefore, to seek with the Greek word “sozo” God to be rewarded is the which is the word “saved” proper thing to do. This is that carries the exact meanGod’s heart – to reward you. ing in addition to spiritual The trouble comes with salvation, because when we the word “Reward.” To our are saved by grace we are western mindset, we under- sozo, meaning, that with salstand a reward as a com- vation also comes healing, pensation for what we do. prosperity, etc. The idea is In other words, a reward is to believe that the “package a compensation for our great deal” that we have received efforts. However, in Bible comes in full and not just talk and in the Hebrew mind partial as in salvation to go as well as in God’s mind, the to heaven only. Jesus died and paid a hefty price to redeem, restore and reward you in every area of your life. Not to just give you a ticket to heaven, meanwhile creating a religious system to make God happy and man feeling good about themselves. NO! Jesus came to give you himself, reinstate you to Him and His kingdom and make you a new person walking in newness of life or in new power an authority. So when you pray asking God to provide for you or heal you, you are essentially asking to be rewarded. When you pray for forgiveness, you are asking to be rewarded. And when you sow a seed, you are looking for a reward. The more rewards I receive the more seed I can sow, the more gifts I can give and the more God is glorified. Your reward is not based on your doing, but it’s based on the price Jesus paid. It’s a grace thing. Make it a Great Day! that I said environment what the Bifor hurt feelble said. ings.

But, there was a period of time that I would not sing because—-yes—-I got my feelings hurt about it. When I was nineteen, I attended a certain weekly youth group meeting. The adult youth leader once asked me to provide harmony on the folkstyle songs he sang. I could not harmonize with him on those songs. At one point, he stopped and laughed out loud at me. “You really do not know how to sing at all, do you?” he said in a critical tone. For a long time, I was not willing to sing other than maybe the church service hymns. But, when I was at the First Baptist Church in Fairlea, WV, Dorcas Mitchell began to encourage me about singing. When she formed an octet in the church for special singing, she asked me to be a part of the group. Since then, singing has been a part of the Lord’s ministry through me. Do not be a critical discourager! Be always a loving encourager of others. The former is like a dagger to the core of one’s feelings at times. The latter is a spiritually empowering brace that bolsters any local church into a dynamic tool for the Lord Jesus Christ.

The Bible says nothing about when your feelings get hurt By Pastor Ron Branch Faith Baptist Church Point Pleasant, W.Va. Early Tuesday morning, the moment I opened my Bible for my prayer time the issue of hurt feelings came to mind. Although I do not know why, I am nonetheless compelled of the Lord to address the subject. To my knowledge, there is no word in the Scripture that addresses in pointspecific manner how to deal with times when your feelings get hurt by other people. Yet, hurt feelings have long been a factor in many church people leaving the church. Hurt feelings have caused churches to split. Hurt feelings have even caused people to denounce faith in Christ. Some church people are so sensitive that they get their feelings hurt over the least little thing. People even say their feelings have gotten hurt in that the Word of God was preached. Once, I declared verbatim in a message a principle of the Bible. Yet, one responded after the message that their feelings had never been so hurt in all their life. What an incredible response to what the Bible said and the fact Bullying has to stop By Carrie Wolfe Christ Jesus repeatedly speaks in the scriptures that we are to love the Lord and love our neighbor (and our neighbor is everyone, not just the few you choose). We have to get back to that simple truth and start loving more, because we certainly have an issue with it. I can’t begin to count how many parents and grandparents I have encountered in the past few weeks who have told me their child is being bullied. Bullying is an issue in our area. It isn’t something new. It is the same disturbing darkness it has always been. It does seem to be getting worse. It is time to say no more. Every child deserves to grow up feeling safe. They should especially feel safe at school. Bullying is often not recognized for what it is. Individual incidents are not looked at as a whole to see the pattern of bullying come together. Over and over again, I have been told the child has told a teacher or the family has talked to administration with little to no results. I don’t know what is going on, but I can say that anyone who turns a blind eye to bullying should be ashamed of themselves. �Friday, November 4, 2011 www.mydailysentinel.com Christ Notes Do you still believe God even when you can’t believe what just happened? When something really awful occurs, you may use the word “unbelievable” to describe it. During those times, even if what happened may have shaken your life, it is very important to maintain your faith. Circumstances are volatile, but God is never-changing—the solid rock. You can’t depend on your outward surroundings; however, you can depend on God. That’s the purpose of faith. Hebrews 11:1 describes faith as being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see. Then, the rest of Hebrews 11 goes on to discuss great men and women in the Bible who exhibited faith. So, when your circumstances are unbelievable—whether good or bad—be sure to maintain your faith, your confident assurance of God’s love for you. All the people mentioned in Hebrews 11 went through difficult circumstances, yet they still believed God even in the midst of their tough trials. Follow the examples of Abraham, Noah, Joseph, Moses, and countless others: live by faith. It is important that you still believe God even during unbelievable circumstances. man (Philippians 2:6-8), and bore all our sins. Paul puts it like this: “For as in Adam all die, so in Christ all will be made alive” (1 Corinthians 15:22). Just as through Adam’s disobedience his sin is imputed to us, so also through Christ’s obedience his righteousness is imputed to us. The first Adam tried to become like God, and, in so doing, every human being became an enemy of God. The second Adam, Jesus Christ, is God who became man, and, in so doing, he opened the door for every other human being to be reborn as a friend of God. the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house, and it fell with a great crash.” That “rock” is God’s Word. If we want to live solid, stable lives, they must be built on the rock—God, himself. Therefore, don’t follow fickle feelings; follow God. Sacrifice is the true measure of love. Genesis 3 records the story of Adam, the first human being created by God, who tried to “be like God” (verse 5). By attempting to become God, Adam sinned, and as a result every single one of us became condemned by God as a sinner: “one trespass [the sin committed by Adam] resulted in condemnation for all people” (Romans 5:18). In essence, Adam was our representative before God. He sinned, and his sin was imputed (i.e., attributed, given) to us. Adam’s sin was counted against us such that we became an enemy of God. Fortunately for us, God did not leave us hopelessly in our sin condemned justly by his wrath; instead, he demonstrated his unfailing love for us by sending his son, the second person of the Trinity, to die for our sins offering a way for us to escape his wrath (Romans 5:8). God, himself, became Webster’s Dictionary defines “fickle” as “Not fixed or firm; liable to change; unstable.” Your emotions and how you feel are unstable and liable to change. So, if you follow your feelings, then your life, your choices, and your actions will sway like a tree in strong wind. Because your feelings can be unstable, it is important not to follow them exclusively. For example, there will probably be some days when you don’t feel like being nice to your spouse. If you follow your feelings and act impulsively, then your marriage will have problems. Because feelings are unstable and unpredictable, someone who lives based on their feelings will also be unstable and unpredictable. Indeed, James 1:8 says that someone who follows his feelings “is a doubleminded man, unstable in all he does.” Instead of following our feelings, we need to follow God, for He is the only source of true stability. We need to take the same attitude as an old hymn, which says, “On Christ the solid Rock I stand, All other ground is sinking sand.” In Matthew 7:24-27, Jesus says, “Everyone who hears these words of mine and puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock. The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house; yet it did not fall, because it had its foundation on the rock. But everyone who hears these words of mine and does not put them into practice is like a foolish man who built his house on sand. The rain came down, The degree of one’s love for someone is measured by the degree of his or her sacrifice for that person. When you deeply love someone, you’ll do a lot of difficult, challenging, or painful things for him or her that you would never do for anyone else. Jesus, even before his death, demonstrated his love for others by sacrificing for them. John 13:1 tells us: It was just before the Passover Feast. Jesus knew that the time had come for him to leave this world and go to the Father. Having loved his own who were in the world, he now showed them the full extent of his love. In the next 15 verses, Jesus washes his disciples’ feet — a task usually performed by the lowliest servants. Yet Jesus, out of love, gave of himself in order to serve. Love means going out of your way to be a servant. Sacrifice is exactly how we can measure God’s love for us. As Romans 5:8 explains, God let his son, Jesus Christ, die so that every one of us could have the opportunity to be alive: But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us. God demonstrates his love for us by his sacrifice for us. In 1 John 3:16-17, we are presented with this same challenge: This is how we know what love is: Jesus Christ laid down his life for us. And we ought to lay down our lives for our brothers. If anyone has material possessions and sees his brother in need but has no pity on him, how can the love of God be in him? Dear children, let us not love with words or tongue but with actions and in truth. How can you love others if you’re not sacrificing for them? In your life, examine what you can do to serve others in order to show them true love — God’s love. Such love requires sacrifice. AKRON, Ohio (AP) — A defunct dinner theater that entertained northeast Ohio audiences for more than 30 years will soon be full again, this time with churchgoers. The former Carousel Dinner Theatre in Akron has been sold to a suburban church that tried unsuccessfully to acquire the property at auction nearly a year ago. An electrical contractor that submitted the winning bid ultimately decided it didn’t want to undertake the extensive renovations necessary to transform the building for its purposes, the Akron Beacon Journal reported (http://bit.ly/ vvSRrA ). The pastor of Community Baptist Temple of Lakemore said he believed God had a hand in the turnabout. “I still felt that was our building and that we were supposed to be there,” the Rev. Mark O’Donnell said. “I didn’t know how it was going to happen, but we were very confident that with the Lord nothing was impossible.” Gary Didado, president of J.W. Didado Electric Inc., said in announcing the resale on Wednesday that the transaction could have been the result of divine intervention. “We’re happy because we would have needed to gut the building to meet our needs and it would have never been the same,” Didado said. “We just couldn’t see destroying that building, so we’re pleased that it is going to the church.” When it went out of business in January 2009, the 800-seat dinner theater left hundreds of ticket holders in the lurch. Its owner said the reasons for the closing included a weak economy, rising costs and declining ticket sales. Attendance dropped 11 percent in 2008. The theater first began operating in 1973 in what had once been a supermarket in Ravenna, and it moved in 1988 into the Akron site, a former nightclub. The 31,000-squarefoot building will allow the church to seat twice as many people as it does at its current location. The independent Baptist church is buying the Carousel property for $770,000. Its appraised value for taxes is nearly $1.9 million, according to online records of the Summit County Fiscal Office. The deal is expected to close in December. O’Donnell said his growing congregation is hopeful that it can move in within a year, once the church sells its current property. “Whenever we make the Carousel our home, we know it will be in God’s time,” he said. The first and second Adam Don’t follow fickle feelings; follow God.

NYPD keeps files on Muslims who change their names NEW YORK (AP) — For generations, immigrants have shed their ancestral identities and taken new, Americanized names as they found their place in the melting pot. For Muslims in New York, that rite of assimilation is now seen by police as a possible red flag in the hunt for terrorists. The New York Police Department monitors everyone in the city who changes his or her name, according to interviews and internal police documents obtained by The Associated Press. For those whose names sound Arabic or might be from Muslim countries, police run comprehensive background checks that include reviewing travel records, criminal histories, business licenses and immigration documents. All this is recorded in police databases for supervisors, who review the names and select a handful of people for police to visit. The program was conceived as a tripwire for police in the difficult hunt for homegrown terrorists, where there are no widely agreed upon warning signs. Like other NYPD intelligence programs created in the past decade, this one involved monitoring behavior protected by the First Amendment. Since August, an Associated Press investigation has revealed a vast NYPD intelligence-collecting effort targeting Muslims following the terror attacks of September 2001. Police have conducted surveillance of entire Muslim neighborhoods, chronicling daily life including where people eat, pray and get their hair cut. Police infiltrated dozens of mosques and Muslim student groups and investigated hundreds more. Monitoring name changes illustrates how the threat of terrorism now casts suspicion over what historically has been part of America’s story. For centuries, foreigners have changed their names in New York, often to lose any stigma attached with their surname. The Roosevelts were once the van Rosenvelts. Fashion designer Ralph Lauren was born Ralph Lifshitz. Donald Trump’s grandfather changed the family name from Drumpf. David Cohen, the NYPD’s intelligence chief, worried that would-be terrorists could use their new names to lie low in New York, current and former officials recalled. Reviewing name changes was intended to identify people who either Americanized their names or took Arabic names for the first time, said the officials, who insisted on anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss the program. NYPD spokesman Paul Browne did not respond to messages left over two days asking about the legal justification for the program and whether it had identified any terrorists. The goal was to find a way to spot terrorists like Daood Gilani and Carlos Bledsoe before they attacked. Gilani, a Chicago man, changed his name to the unremarkable David Coleman Headley to avoid suspicion as he helped plan the 2008 terrorist shooting spree in Mumbai, India. Bledsoe, of Tennessee, changed his name to Abdulhakim Mujahid Muhammad in 2007 and, two years later, killed one soldier and wounded another in a shooting at a recruiting station in Little Rock, Ark. Sometime around 2008, state court officials began sending the NYPD information about new name changes, said Ron Younkins, the court’s chief of operations. The court regularly sends updates to police, he said. The information is all public, and he said the court was not aware of how police used it. The NYPD program began as a purely analytical exercise, according to documents and interviews. Police reviewed the names received from the court and selected some for background checks that included city, state and federal criminal databases as well as federal immigration and Treasury Department databases that identified foreign travel. Early on, police added people with American names to the list so that if details of the program ever leaked out, the department would not be accused of profiling, according to one person briefed on the program. On one police document from that period, two of every three people who were investigated had changed their names to or from something that could be read as Arabicsounding. All the names that were investigated, even those whose background checks came up empty, were cataloged so police could refer to them in the future. The legal justification for the program is unclear from the documents obtained by the AP. Because of its history of spying on anti-war protesters and political activists, the NYPD has long been required to follow a federal court order when gathering intelligence. That order allows the department to conduct background checks only when police have information about possible criminal activity, and only as part of “prompt and extremely limited” checking of leads. The NYPD’s rules also prohibit opening investigations based solely on activities protected by the First Amendment. Federal courts have held that people have a right to change their names and, in the case of religious conversion, that right is protected by the First Amendment. After the AP’s investigation into the NYPD’s activities, some U.S. lawmakers, including Reps. Yvette Clarke, D-N.Y., and Rush Holt, DN.J., have said the NYPD programs are blatant racial profiling and have asked the Justice Department to investigate. Two Democrats on congressional intelligence committees said they were troubled by the CIA’s involvement in these programs. Additionally, seven New York Democratic state senators called for the state attorney general to investigate the NYPD’s spying on Muslim neighborhoods. And last month, the CIA announced an inspector general investigation into the agency’s partnership with the NYPD. The NYPD is not alone in its monitoring of Muslim neighborhoods. The FBI has its own ethnic mapping program that singled out Muslim communities, and agents have been criticized for targeting mosques. �The Daily Sentinel Opinion Page A6 Friday, November 4, 2011 Letters to the Editor Former CEO accused of Resident asks for health department support Dear Editor, Meigs County Health Department is a very important part of Meigs County’s infrastructure, therefore the renewal levy on Nov. 8 is a significant portion for the health department’s funding. No additional taxes are being sought from your pockets. First, I would like to address the influenza inoculation efforts being coordinated by the health department. Services have been extended in the county at designated times and places to make it more convenient for your readers to receive their flu shots in to better protect their health. The health department even coordinated calls to remind folks about the flu shots to better sere the county. In 2010, the board of health partnered with the Meigs Cooperative Parish by guiding some remaining Dear Editor, I was appalled at the nastiness that some members of the Village of Middleport community are showing during the days preceding the November election. They are passing out flyers that are degrading to the current mayor and admin- istration. In addition, banners and signs of Mayor Gerlach’s have been stolen. These people certainly are well beyond voting age but are acting like out-ofcontrol children. If I were running against Mayor Gerlach, I would not want to be associated with these people in any way. As for Mayor Gerlach, I certainly hope the voters of Middleport realize all this administration has done to fix the infrastructure of the village. The EPA has been after Middleport for years to make these improvements and now is using our town as an excellent example of what the current administration has done to improve our water, fire hydrants and sewer system. We need to keep the momentum that we have because there are more good things to come for Middleport. Texanna Wehrung Middleport committee just over a year to complete its work. Prosecutors, defense attorneys, lawmakers, judges and academic experts are among those beginning debate on possible changes to Ohio’s 30-year-old death penalty law. Enacted in 1981, the law governs when and how the death penalty can be imposed, including alternate sentences and appeals issues. The committee will review Ohio’s current laws, practices elsewhere, data and costs. It will also review a 2007 report released by the American Bar Association that called for a moratorium while problems the report said it had identified were examined. That report didn’t go far because of the perception that several of the researchers were biased against the death penalty. A 2005 review of 20 years of capital punishment data by The Associated Press concluded that death sentences varied widely depending on where in the state charges were brought. The AP review also found people convicted of killing a white victim were twice as likely to receive a death sentence as those whose victim was black. Brogan said the committee should review the role of evidence in death penalty cases, and he questioned whether the standard of certainty should be changed to “beyond all doubt” instead of “beyond reasonable doubt.” “I am terribly concerned about whether in fact the death penalty is properly applied In this state and I hope we all ask the hard questions that need to be asked,” Brogan said. Joe Deters, the Hamilton County prosecutor, noted large disparities across Ohio when it comes to how often the death penalty is sought compared to death sentences handed down. Cuyahoga County, for example, has had about 1,200 capital indictments, with 52 defendants on death row over 30 years, Deters said.

Alva B. Clark Pomeroy There are good things to come for Middleport Judge concerned by fairness of Ohio death penalty COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — The retired judge overseeing the first review of Ohio’s 30-year-old death penalty law said Thursday he is concerned whether the state’s law is being properly applied. James Brogan, a former state appeals court judge, also said he’s worried about the discretion that state prosecutors have in deciding whether to pursue a death sentence at all. “Why is it that in one county the prosecutor seeks it on many more occasions than another prosecutor,” Brogan said. “Is it because urban crime is so much more serious in a larger city than in a rural community?” Chief Justice Maureen O’Connor, who convened the committee reviewing the law, emphasized in opening comments the panel is not to decide whether Ohio should have capital punishment. O’Connor, a Republican and former prosecutor, told committee members the goal is to produce a fair, impartial and balanced analysis of the state’s law.

He had the blessing of top clergy as he gave financial seminars from the pulpit on Sundays, promising rocksolid investments — only many of the churchgoers said they haven’t seen a dime. Two lawsuits filed this month claim the 29-yearold Taylor was a con artist who targeted worshippers throughout at least five states on the East Coast since 2004, swindling tens of millions of dollars in a Ponzi scheme. “He knew if he went to a Christian AfricanAmerican and said, ‘I can take your hard-earned investment money, and you’re going to earn more money, but more importantly you’re going to do good for your church and community,’ that they would fall for it hook line and sinker,” said Cathy Lerman, an attorney who sued Taylor in North Carolina. The allegations have tarnished Taylor, who resigned last year after becoming the chief executive of the holding company City Capital, which had been based in North Carolina, when he was 23. Worshippers would often be asked to invest in real estate and businesses tied to the holding company. The Secret Service and the secretary of state’s office in Georgia, where the other lawsuit has been filed, are investigating. He has not faced any criminal charges. Lawyers suing him say they don’t know his whereabouts, but he sent The Associated Press a statement after a reporter contacted him through his website. He said he planned to use his own money to help those who feel “negatively impacted.” He criticized his detractors and compared himself Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

In late 2009, Taylor came to an Atlanta megachurch with his surefire pitch, according to the lawsuit in Georgia. He held a financial seminar aimed at children on a Saturday, telling curious parents to hold their questions. Flanked by Bishop Eddie Long the following day, he told the 25,000 member congregation that his investors would buy can’t-miss real estate rather than take a risk on Wall Street. “He pushed all the right buttons,” said Lillian Wells, who said she lost $122,000. “Everyone was tired of losing money in the stock market, and this was an opportunity for a guaranteed return on the money.” Wells is among 10 New Birth Missionary Baptist Church members suing Taylor, the bishop and the church. It claims Long abused his spiritual authority and “coerced” his parishioners into investing at least $1 million in Taylor’s fund in late 2009. The bishop has declined to comment on the lawsuit, but he urged Taylor in a video posted this year on YouTube to “do what’s right” and repay the money with interest. In May, Long settled a separate lawsuit filed by four young men who accused him of sexual misconduct. New Birth is one of the best-known ministries preaching a form of the prosperity gospel, which teaches that God wants to bless the faithful with earthly riches. Ministers in this tradition often hold up their own wealth as evidence that the teaching works. Long has flaunt- ed his own success with flashy suits, expensive cars and large home on 20 acres. Attorneys said many of the worshippers duped were “socially conscious.” But instead of lucrative returns, Taylor and his company used incoming funds from new investors to pay back existing clients, the attorneys said. Taylor’s inspiring success story helped build his mystique. At the age of 12, he sold video games he designed. By 18, he and a friend had helped create a job search engine called GoFerretGo that he claimed was valued at more than $3 million, though one of the lawsuits questioned that figure. After he was tapped in 2006 as the chief executive of City Capital, now based in California, he was quick to boast in media interviews that the move made him the youngest black leader of a publicly traded company in the U.S. He wrote books about his financial savvy, appeared on national news networks to offer financial advice and observations and landed a spot speaking to a youth leader’s summit at the 2008 Democratic National Convention. He’d convince ministers to let him deliver a Sunday sermon, the lawsuits say, and rev up the boasting of his TV appearances and client list stacked with celebrities and athletes. It was that record that attracted Joann White, a 61-year-old retiree who invested her life savings of $200,000 in his firm. After years of fighting with Taylor and his associates, she said she lost all but $20,000 of the money. “I know that’s so stupid now looking back at it, but I saw him so often on TV, talking about how great he was,” said White, who lives in Belleville, Mich. “And I kind of fell into it.” The Daily Sentinel Ohio Valley Publishing Co. 111 Court Street Pomeroy, Ohio Phone (740) 992-2156 Fax (740) 992-2157 www.mydailysentinel.com Sammy M.

According to figures released Thursday by The Project on Student Debt, Ohio ranked seventh for student loan debt among last year’s graduates, who owed an average of about $27,700. The national average was $25,250. Students in the Northeast and Midwest generally had more debt than those in the West. The state with the highest average graduating debt was New Hampshire, while Utah was lowest. More than two-thirds of Ohio’s 2010 college class borrowed for college. The report says when the students left school, they found a job market with an unemployment rate for new college graduates at 9.1 percent. Ohio city has highest US concentrated poverty YOUNGSTOWN, Ohio (AP) — A new study says Youngstown in northeast Ohio has the nation’s highest concentration of poverty among the 100 biggest metro areas. The report was released Thursday by the Brookings Institution, a think tank in Washington, D.C. It says Youngstown, still struggling from the loss of steel industry jobs, has a concentrated poverty rate of 49.7 percent. Concentrated poverty is the share of poor people in areas with poverty rates of 40 percent and higher. Cleveland has a 42 percent concentrated poverty rate, Cincinnati 31.6 percent, Toledo 30.6 percent, Columbus 22.7 percent and Akron 22 percent. A prosecutor and judge in Youngstown both tell The Vindicator newspaper that high poverty rates contribute to rising crime. Thousands of Ohio trees to be axed to stop beetle BETHEL, Ohio (AP) — Up to 50,000 trees will be cut down in southwest Ohio to stop the spread of an Asian beetle that kills some types of hardwoods. Ohio Department of Agriculture spokesman Andy Ware acknowledges that the effort is likely to change the landscape in parts of Clermont County. Evidence of Asian longhorned beetles has been found at two sites in the county east of Cincinnati. Property owners have been notified that trees will start coming down Nov. 14. Ware tells The Cincin- nati Enquirer that officials don’t like to take such drastic action, but he says the insects pose a great risk. They burrow into tree trunks and large branches in a way that’s deadly to several types of trees, including buckeye, willow and American elm trees. Asian long-horned beetles have been identified in five states, including Ohio. Contract approved at Ohio college after strike CINCINNATI (AP) — A new contract has been ratified at a two-year college in Cincinnati where teachers staged a weeklong strike in September. Cincinnati State Technical & Community College says in a news release that the school’s trustees approved the three-year labor agreement during a special meeting Thursday morning. Members of the union that represents about 200 full-time instructors voted Wednesday to accept the deal. The college says the teachers will receive no additional pay in the contract’s first year, followed by raises of 2.75 percent in the second and third years. The major issue in the dispute involved the teachers’ workloads. On that front, the contract represents the midpoint of the original proposals made by the union and the administration. Speaker: Vote won’t end debate on Ohio union law COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — The Republican leader of the Ohio House says elements of a contentious collective bargaining law facing a repeal effort Tuesday could be proposed again if the law is rejected. House Speaker William Batchelder told reporters Thursday the legislature would wait until 2012 to begin such debate because the issue is “too hot” right now. Polls show about 6 in 10 Ohioans want the law repealed. It limits bargaining powers of more than 350,000 public workers, bans strikes, scraps binding arbitration and eliminates promotions based solely on seniority. A union-backed coalition that opposes the bill has raised $24 million in its fight against the law, three times what opponents have reported. Batchelder said Republicans who championed the measure know through polling which elements of the bill people like and dislike. A look at changes in new Ohio congressional map A look at key changes in a revised map of Ohio congressional districts released Thursday by Republicans in the state House: Unifies seven counties that were previously split (Clark, Fairfield, Hancock, Hardin, Montgomery, Wood, and Wyandot) Reduces splits in two counties from three to two (Erie, Lucas) Splits one county that was previously whole (Fayette) Compacts U.S. Rep.

Marcy Kaptur and Dennis Kucinich Slightly increases black voting-age population in the Lucas County district Unifies the city of Dayton into one rather than two districts, the one where U.S. Reps. Mike Turner and Steve Austria must run off Increases black voting-age population in the Dayton district from 11 percent to 16 percent Swaps Lincoln Heights and Green Hills neighborhoods between two Cincinnati area districts Slightly increases the black voting-age population in Cincinnati’s District 1 Ohio has pair of 6-figure Powerball winners CLEVELAND (AP) — The $254 million Powerball jackpot didn’t go to anyone who bought a ticket in Ohio, but the state does have two $200,000 winners. The Ohio Lottery says those tickets were sold in New Richmond, southeast of Cincinnati, and in the Cleveland suburb of Lakewood. They matched five numbers Wednesday, without the Powerball. Only one ticket out of the millions sold nationwide had all the winning numbers. That very valuable ticket was purchased in Connecticut. The jackpot for the twice-weekly lottery game had been rolling over without a top winner since September 14th. The big prize now resets to $20 million for the next drawing, on Saturday. Wednesday’s winning numbers were 12, 14, 34, 39 and 46. The Powerball was 36, and the Power Play was four. Ohio prison searched for possible improvised gun TOLEDO, Ohio (AP) — A spokesman says officers are searching an Ohio prison after information was received that “major Victor Young III For Meigs Local School Board Visit us at www.mydailysentinel.com I worked for you once before on the board, and I would like the job again.

Ohio prisons department spokesman Carlo LoParo said Thursday the Toledo Correctional Institution was on lockdown — with inmates confined to their cells— during the search that began about 4 p.m. and is expected to be finished by midnight. He says there was no violence or other disruptions. LoParo says the department does not know with certainty that the firearm is in the building and is “exercising extreme caution.” He said no weapons were found as of about 7:45 p.m. The department is not releasing additional details on the information received. The prison has about 1,600 inmates, mostly designated at a “close” security level between medium and maximum. Ohio mayor finds lost boy, reunites him with mom TOLEDO, Ohio (AP) — The mayor in Ohio’s fourth-biggest city came to the aid of a little boy he found wandering a busy street at night. Police say Toledo Mayor Mike Bell was driving Wednesday night when he spotted the boy alone and then helped the 6-year-old reunite with his mom. Police say the boy’s mother tells them that they were at a birthday party at a restaurant and that she thought he was with their group when they got in the car to leave. A restaurant spokesman tells The Blade newspaper that video footage from the store shows the boy leaving with his mother. This isn’t the first time Bell stepped in to help someone while driving around Toledo. Two years ago, he lifted a woman from her overturned sport utility vehicle. State reps shouting amid US House map debate COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Shouting erupted in the Ohio House as legislators met to consider a new map of Ohio’s U.S. House districts. About a dozen Republicans walked off the floor during the Thursday session, with some Democratic members accusing them of being afraid to debate the issue. House Minority Leader Armond Budish rose to talk about what he called egregious gerrymandering, and state Rep. Lynn Wachtmann, a Republican, yelled about lies. Democratic state Rep. Robert Hagan began shouting about the high poverty rate in his hometown Youngstown. Republicans introduced a revised map Thursday saying they hope to garner Democratic support. Democrats have been gathering signatures to challenge an initial map drafted in September. Law license disciplinary hearing for ex-Ohio AG COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Former Ohio Attorney General Marc Dann could face a harsher punishment for alleged violations of legal codes of conduct. The Ohio Supreme Court’s Disciplinary Counsel on Thursday asked for a 12-month suspension of Dann’s law license that would allow him to keep practicing law during that time anyway. The Disciplinary Counsel’s office previously asked for a six-month sentence, then increased it after Dann’s testimony Thursday. Dann was charged with violating legal codes of conduct after being found guilty last year of two misdemeanor charges A court board and the Supreme Court itself could accept or reject the recommended punishment. Dann resigned in 2008 amid a sexual harassment scandal, then pleaded guilty in 2010 to improperly paying two aides from political and office accounts and failing to disclose campaign expenses. Dem. Ohio mayors urge passage of Obama plan COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Democratic mayors from more than 20 smaller Ohio cities have signed a letter urging congressional Republicans to pass the infrastructure part of President Barack Obama’s $447 jobs bill. Obama has offered a $60 billion proposal for jobs on bridge and other infrastructure projects. That plan was facing defeat Thursday at the hands of U.S. Senate Republicans. The mayors — of cities including Athens, Lima and Wilmington — write that the issue should not be “a Democratic or Republican game.” The Ohio Democratic Party says in a news release that the mayors are struggling with strapped city budgets, unemployment, foreclosure and families having a tough time making ends meet. The Ohio Republican Party says the answer is not what a spokesman describes as “more failed stimulus spending.” �Friday, November 4, 2011 www.mydailysentinel.com The Daily Sentinel • Page A8 Pomeroy Christmas Open House Monday November 7, 2011 Johnson’s “Your Affordable Gift Shopping Headquarters” “LAYAWAY AVAILABLE” Country Gifts, Alpine Trees, Purses, Wood Barrels, Antique Items, Old Sleds, Old Milkcans, Christmas Items, And Much More!

Friday, November 4, 2011 Rebels hit the road for third playoff apperance By Sarah Hawley shawley@mydailytribune.com NEW WASHINGTON, Ohio — For the third time in seven years, the South Gallia football team is headed to the postseason. The third playoff appearance in school history for the football team will begin just as the previous two have — with a more than 100 mile road trip. The No. 7 seed Rebels will be traveling to Crawford County, Ohio, to face second seed Buckeye Central. South Gallia enters the postseason with a 7-3 overall mark, after a Senior Night loss to non-league foe, and top seeded, Symmes Valley a week ago. Buckeye Central concluded the regular season with an 8-2 record, defeating Colonel Crawford in overtime last week to secure a home playoff contest. The Rebels are coached by second year mentor Jason Peck. Peck has compiled an 11-9 mark over the two seasons, including a third place finish in the TVC Hocking this season (6-2). Peck served as an assistant coach on the two previous playoff teams under head coach Justy Burleson. South Gallia advanced to the postseason in the 2005 and 2006 seasons. “To make the playoffs for the 3rd time in seven years, is a huge deal,” said Peck. “We are working towards being a program, lots of student athletes and coaches over the years have put in a lot of time — along with the community support — we have something great.” In 2006, the sixth seeded Rebels traveled to Danville — 163 miles — for their opening round game. South Gallia fell to the Blue Devils 51-20 in the game. In 2005, the seventh seeded Rebels faced River — 123 miles — in the first round of the playoffs. The Pilots won by the final score of 38-0. This time it will be a 192 miles journey to New Washington, Ohio, which welcomes the Rebels back to the postseason. “I feel we are ready to compete and represent Southern Ohio in the playoffs,” Peck added. “We know we are blessed for the opportunity and we have earned it.” Buckeye Central is coached by Jason Ratliff, who is in his fourth season at the helm of the Bucks. This is the second consecutive season Buckeye Central has advanced to the postseason. The Bucks were the seventh seed a year ago, falling to Mogadore by a 37-21 margin. Buckeye Central also mad the playoffs in 2003 as the six seed, falling to Windham in over time (21-14). The South Gallia offensive attack is led by senior quarterback Cory Haner. Haner has 860 passing yards in 10 games this season and has thrown four touchdown passes. Sophomore Ethan Spurlock leads the South Gallia rushing game with 733 yards and 10 touchdowns in 100 carries. Haner is the team’s second leading rusher with 486 yards and seven scores. Sarah Hawley/file photo South Gallia head coach Jason Peck, left, talks with players after the team’s week five victory over Eastern. Senior ball carrier Austin Phillips is the Rebels third leading rusher with 447 yards and four touchdowns in 53 carries. Also handling the ball for South Gallia this season have been Jacob White (73 carries, 385 yards, five touchdowns), John Johnson (21 carries, 182 yards, two touchdowns), Josh Cooper (nine carries, 44 yards, two touchdowns), Devin Lucas (nine carries, 27 yards, one touchdown), Mike Wheeler (one carry, 19 yards), Levi Ellis (one carry, nine yards), Troy Zinn (nine carries, -1 yard), Dakota Wroten (two carries, -1 yard). Senior Josh Cooper leads the SGHS receiving group with 21 catches for 387 yards and two scores. Danny Matney has added 186 yards in 13 catches and one touchdown this season. Ellis has seven catches for 184 yards and one touchdown in 10 games. Spurlock (seven catches, 71 yards), Johnson (two catches, six yards), Phillips (two catches, three yards), Zinn (one catch, three yards) and White (one catches, three yards) have also added to the South Gallia receiving corp. The Rebels are plus-16 in turnover differential this season. South Gallia has four defensive scores this season. Buckeye Central is led by senior quarterback — and Division I prospect — Tyler Erwin. Erwin has 2,062 yards this season and 29 touchdowns. The four year letterman has 104 completions in 177 passing attempts, and has thrown just six interceptions. Junior Michael Adkins leads the rushing game with 1,133 yards on 214 carries. Adkins has 12 touchdowns this season. Justin Hernstein is the top receiver for Buckeye Central, with 977 yards and 16 touchdowns. Buckeye Central has two interception returns for touchdowns this season. The Bucks have scored 336 points (33.6 points per game) in 10 games this season, while allowing 139 points (13.9 points per game). Buckeye Central has allowed just two touchdowns in the first quarter this season. Buckeye Central’s losses this season have come on the road against Wynford (38-6) and Ontario (28-19). Wynford is 10-0 and the top seed in Division V, Region 19, while Ontario is 8-2, just missing out on a playoff spot in Division IV, Region 14. South Gallia has scored 310 points this season for an average of 31 points per game, and has allowed 112 points in 10 games (11.2 points per game). The Rebels three losses have come against Division VI, Region 23 playoff teams Symmes Valley (21-8) and Trimble (18-14), along with current WVSSAC No. 2 Wahama (28-6). The South Gallia defense held both Wahama and Symmes Valley scoreless in the second half of play. Starters for the Buckeye Central offense are Tyler Erwin (QB), Michael Adkins (FB), Chadd Trapp (HB), Adam Paynter (WB), Justin Hernstein (SE), Thomas Kaple (TE), Bryce Collins (RT), Jordan Wright (RG), Jacob Qeiter (LG), Justin Miller (LT), while Chase Finnery and Ryan Wilfer split time at center. The Bucks run a Wing T offense. On the defensive side, starters include Justin Hern- stein (S), Tyler Erwin (C), Kameron Jones (C), Bryce Christy (LB), Michael Adkins (LB), Thomas Kaple (OLB), Adam Paynter (OLB), Jacob Zeiter (DE), Austin McDonnell (DE), Jordan Wright (DE), Chase Finney (DT), Shawn Kissell (DT) and Bryce Collins (DT). Buckeye Central operates in a 4-4 defense. Kickoff is set for 7 p.m. on Saturday at Buckeye Central High School in New Washington, Ohio. “Knowing that you have earned something is a strong motivational tool. I see a different look in our eyes,” Peck concluded as the team prepares for Saturday’s playoff game. Tettleton, Harden lead Ohio past Temple, 35-31 ATHENS, Ohio (AP) Tyler Tettleton threw a 5-yard touchdown pass to Donte Foster with 1:41 left, and Donte Harden ran for 184 yards and scored twice in Ohio’s 35-31 victory over Temple on Wednesday night. Ohio (6-3, 3-2 MidAmerican) took the lead from Temple (5-4, 3-3) in the conference East Divi- sion standings and became bowl eligible for the third straight year. Tettleton was 15 of 24 for 258 yards and three touchdowns and scored on a 5-yard run. LaVon Brazill had seven catches for 165 yards, and Harden had two receptions for 75 yards. Temple quarterback Chris Coyer ran for 184 yards on 17 carries and com- pleted 8 of 14 passes for 123 yards and three touchdowns. Temple tied it at 21 late in the third quarter on Bernard Pierce’s 20-yard run, and took the lead on Brandon McManus’ 27-yard field goal with 10:57 left. Tettleton put the Bobcats back in front with a 2-yard touchdown pass to Jordan Thompson with 7:51 to play, but the Owls regained the lead at 31-28 on Coyer’s 9-yard scoring pass to Deon Miller with 4:46 to go. Harden gave the Bobcats a 21-14 lead with an 81-yard run midway through the third quarter. He also had two big plays in a row on Ohio’s opening possession of the game, running for 33 yards and catching a 25-yard touchdown pass. Temple tied it at 7 early in the second quarter on Coyer’s 5-yard pass to Evan Rodriguez. Tettleton countered with his 5-yard TD run, and Coyer pulled the Owls even again with two straight big plays, running for 35 yards and throwing a 34-yard touchdown pass to Rod Streater with 2:07 left in the half. �Friday November 4, 2011 www.mydailysentinel.com The Daily Sentinel • Page B2 Police: Ohio steroid probe AP source: Big East to uncovers Tennessee lab invite Boise St, 5 others COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) A steroid ring uncovered in Ohio used drugs imported from China and processed at a secret lab in Tennessee to peddle drugs to high school athletes and other customers with a business model that implemented techniques such as bonuses and rebates, authorities said Tuesday. A grand jury north of Cincinnati in Warren County indicted 32 people in the operation on charges that include engaging in a pattern of corrupt activity, trafficking drugs and drug possession, according to police and prosecutors. Those charged include a bank manager, a financial planner, a delivery truck driver, a professional wrestler, a health club manager and a stay-at-home mom, and most have turned themselves in and are being held in the county jail, said Prosecutor David Fornshell. Authorities have seized more than $600,000 in steroids, about $300,000 in cash and vehicles, and a number of assault rifles and other fire- arms, some used for security at the lab and others that appear to be collected. James Deir, resident agent in charge of the U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives office in Cincinnati, called the investigation “unique” and one that led to the dismantling of a drug operation selling “poison” to high school students. “It’s pretty amazing the amount of firearms and what this organization was doing, and that is peddling this poison throughout the country,” he said. Warren County Drug Task Force Commander John Burke said the indictments stem from an undercover operation at a local YMCA that started after they received two unrelated tips about two years ago. The investigation led to a receptionist at a dental office suspected of receiving the drugs from three people in Tennessee and mailing them to various locations in the country. Fornshell said the receptionist, Ronald Herbort, 45, of Amelia, also provided drugs to Matt Geraci, 37, of Cincinnati, who ran a drug-dealing business that had sales meetings, set targets for dealers and offered bonuses and other types of awards and incentives for high sales. Geraci also had set up a drug transfer location, using a bank of 18 lockers at an office park, where customers would retrieve drugs from an assigned locker and leave payments behind, investigators said. They said he and the 18 people using the lockers admitted to trafficking steroids in Ohio, Kentucky and Indiana. Of the remaining people indicted, police are not disclosing the names of three, who they say are helping in the continued investigation. Of the rest, all are from six counties in Ohio, except for one man who is from Kentucky. Authorities said four have resolved their cases, although details were not immediately available, and they said one has died of due to a heart attack attributed to steroid abuse.

Turn $128.85* into $1,000 *in county home delivery only by subscribing today to The Daily Sentinel PHILADELPHIA (AP) The Big East is ready to start adding members after spending the last month and a half losing them. A person familiar with the decision told The Associated Press the Big East will invite Boise State, Navy and Air Force for football only and SMU, Houston and Central Florida for all sports in upcoming days. The person spoke on condition of anonymity because the conference was not ready to announce its plan. Commissioner John Marinatto declined to elaborate on the Big East’s next moves after meeting with the league’s presidents at a Philadelphia hotel Tuesday. He said he expected the targeted schools to accept, but details still must be worked out with each. “As we’ve learned over the last two months, don’t believe anything anybody tells you. Nothing’s done until it is over. So I’m obviously being very cautious and that’s why I’m reluctant to say names of schools,” he said. Marinatto did acknowledge the league intends to expand west. Boise State and Air Force, both in the Mountain West Conference, and SMU and Houston, members of Conference USA, would be in the Big East’s western division, along with Louisville and Cincinnati. Navy, an independent, and UCF, also from CUSA, would be part of the league’s eastern division with Connecticut, South Florida, Rutgers and another school. The league would then likely play a conference championship game. The Big East has been working on a plan to add those six schools and reconfigure as a 12-team football conference since not long after Syracuse and Pittsburgh announced Sept. 18 they would be leaving for the Atlantic Coast Conference. “We got reaffirmation from our members that that was the way we wanted to go,” Marinatto said. “It was probably a very small part of our meeting today, where they just reaffirmed everything we had been talking about and authorized me to move forward with formal discussions to get this all wrapped up as soon as possible.” Exactly when was unclear. “We have not received an invitation from the Big East. However, we understand the things are moving in that direction,” UCF spokesman Grant Heston said. Navy athletic director Chet Gladchuk said Tuesday he had not yet heard from any Big East officials. A couple weeks after the Big East found out about Pitt and Syracuse, TCU announced it was backing out of a commitment to join the league next year and instead accepted an invite to the Big 12. Then last week West Virginia accepted an invitation to the Big 12, stripping the Big East of its most successful football member in recent years. So even with the six potential new members, the Big East still needs another school to get to 12 for the long term. “We didn’t get into the discussion of specifically replacing West Virginia,” Marinatto said. Temple and Memphis are being considered, the person with knowledge of the Big East’s decision said. Temple AD Bill Bradshaw declined comment. “We’re having discussions with Big East officials and continue to consider all of our options,” Boise State spokesman Frank Zang said. Marinatto said again that the Big East intends to enforce the league’s 27-month notification period and will hold Pitt, Syracuse and West Virginia in the conference until July 2014. The ACC has said it will not challenge the Big East’s rules, but the Big 12 needs 10 teams to fulfill its television contracts in 2012 and has said it expects West Virginia to replace Missouri and join the league next year. Missouri is expected to leave for the Southeastern Conference soon. West Virginia filed a lawsuit Monday challenging the Big East’s waiting period and asking the court to speed the school’s di- vorce from the league. “I quite frankly was stunned when I heard the news that they were filing a lawsuit,” Marinatto said. “I couldn’t understand under what grounds.” Even with new members ready to commit, the Big East might not have enough football teams next season without Syracuse, Pittsburgh and West Virginia. According to Conference USA bylaws, UCF, SMU and Houston would not be able to compete in the Big East until 2013, CUSA spokeswoman Courtney Archer said. Those teams would also have to pay a $500,000 exit fee and relinquish about $6.13 million in television revenue. Mountain West bylaws won’t stand in the way of Boise State or Air Force leaving immediately, but they would have to relinquish this year’s revenue, plus pay either $5 million or double the revenue, whichever is greater. If Boise State makes it to the Bowl Championship Series this season, it could cost as much as $21 million for the Broncos to jump to the Big East in 2012. But getting access to an automatic BCS bid, something neither the MWC nor CUSA has, is what Boise State and most schools are chasing these days. The MWC and CUSA have announced a football merger they hope will land it BCS automatic bid. The Big East has that, at least through the 2013 season, and hopes its latest incarnation can keep it and be attractive enough to television networks to land a billion-dollar deal similar to what the other automatic-qualifying BCS leagues have signed in recent years. “(Former Commissioner) Mike Tranghese reinvented the conference in 1990 by creating a football element in order to service its members at the time,” Marinatto said. “We reinvented it again in 2003 and created the biggest and most diverse conference in the country. And now because of all these circumstances, we’re reinventing it a fourth time.” PSU start, reeling Badgers highlight B10 surprises By Genaro C.

Penn State might be the Big Ten’s most surprising story line going into the last month of the conference schedule with a two-game lead in the loss column in the Leaders Division over Purdue, surging Ohio State and reeling Wisconsin. While the Legends Division has a three-way logjam of one-loss teams at the top with Nebraska, Michigan and Michigan State, the Nittany Lions (5-0 Big Ten) control their own destiny to get to the inaugural league title game as the last squad unbeaten in conference play. “I don’t particularly like bye weeks at any time because I think you get out of the routine,” Paterno said Tuesday. “I guess if you have to have it, this is as good a time as any to have it.” Lately, that routine involves winning seven straight victories since a 27-11 loss in week 2 to No. 2 Alabama. Success hasn’t been pretty, though, in Happy Valley. The passing game very much remains a work in progress, and the offense overall is scoring 21.8 points a game. Only Minnesota is worse in the Big Ten at 18 points. Penn State is squeaking by opponents, like the 10-7 win last week over Illinois. The Nittany Lions needed a touchdown run by Silas Redd to take the lead with 1:08 left, but couldn’t breathe easy until Illini kicker Derek Dimke’s 42-yard field-goal attempt bounced off the right upright as time expired. “We were very fortunate against Illinois,” Paterno said. “That darn ball bounced off the goal post when it could have bounced any other way it would have been overtime.” Another typically tight Penn State victory six wins have come by 10 points or less this year. They will be tested with a three-game gauntlet to end the regular season, starting with the home finale Nov. 12 against the Cornhuskers before road trips to Ohio State and Wisconsin.

The close calls and looming schedule have some national pundits and even some Penn State fans wondering: Just how good are the Nittany Lions? “I mean, to be honest, I think as a team we recognize we don’t get the respect we should,” defensive tackle Devon Still said. “But we don’t play for that. We play for each other. As long as we do that, we’re going to come away with wins.” Purdue coach Danny Hope, at least, recognizes the accomplishments in Happy Valley. “The teams right now that are really strong defensively are hanging on the best,” Hope said. “Right now, Penn State is one of the great defensive football teams in the country.” First in scoring defense (12.4 points) in the league and third in total defense (282.3 yards), the Nittany Lions are also third against both the pass (170.4 yards) and run (111.9), thanks in large part to the disruptive, 6-foot-5 Still up front. “They’ve been playing great defense for 45 years,” said Iowa coach Kirk Ferentz, referring to Paterno’s record 46 seasons as the lead Nittany Lion. The Illinois victory gave Paterno his 409th victory, breaking the Division I career mark set by Grambling State’s Eddie Robinson though Paterno has more pressing concerns. While the fourth-quarter flurry against the Illini gave the offense confidence it could produce in the clutch, the Nittany Lions may need full-game production to beat the Cornhuskers, Buckeyes and Badgers. �Friday November 4, 2011 www.mydailysentinel.com The Daily Sentinel • Page B3 W.Va.

Bobby Rush said of the NCAA at a congressional forum on college sports Tuesday. “I think you would compare the NCAA to Al Capone and to the Mafia.” Rush made the accusations at the forum called to look at the impact of “backroom deals, payoffs and scandals” in college sports. The congressman spoke after hearing from a couple of mothers of former studentathletes who complained of ill treatment by schools after their sons suffered injuries. “Congressman Rush obviously doesn’t know the NCAA,” Bob Williams, a spokesman for the organization, said in an email Tuesday night. “The NCAA and its member institutions provide over $2 billion per year in scholarships, financial assistance and academic support to studentathletes … second only to the federal government. Student-athlete success is our mission.” One mother, Valerie Hardrick, said the University of Oklahoma refused to grant a waiver for medical hardship that would allow her son, Kyle Hardrick, to play basketball at junior college after transferring from OU. Prior to Tuesday’s forum, Hardrick’s family provided to The Associated Press documentation showing that team doctors diagnosed him with a torn meniscus in his knee and wrote down on practice logs that he should be held out because he was hurt. Hardrick’s family said the university has refused to pursue the waiver unless the family agrees to a settlement that would prohibit him or his family members from enrolling at Oklahoma or any of the universities governed by its board of re- gents. The proposed settlement also would prevent the Hardricks from filing a lawsuit against the university. “My insurance does not cover all of Kyle’s medical bills,” an emotional Valerie Hardrick said. “The University of Oklahoma refused to pay for Kyle’s surgery, his rehab, and his medication. The university actions also allowed Kyle to be released without appropriate medical treatment before consulting his original surgeon.” Kyle Hardrick, a forward who played a total of 6 minutes during his two seasons with the Sooners, said he has since transferred to a community college in Kansas but isn’t able to play without the waiver. Jeff Capel, Hardrick’s coach at OU, wrote a letter on behalf of Hardrick in September saying a medical hardship waiver is justified in his case. Capel was fired after last season and is now an assistant coach at Duke. In response to phone and email messages left for Oklahoma athletic director Joe Castiglione, the university issued a statement late Tuesday night saying it had informed the Hardricks it “would facilitate the opportunity” for the family to seek a hardship waiver and asserting it had “acted responsibly in this matter.” Oklahoma pointed out that any NCAA institution where Hardrick would transfer could also apply for a waiver. However, he has instead transferred to the junior college level, which is not governed by the NCAA. Oklahoma’s statement indicated that athletic officials could not discuss Hardrick’s case in detail because of student privacy guidelines. The NCAA requires schools to certify that an athlete has insurance coverage for athletically-related injuries, up to the deductible of the NCAA Catastrophic Injury Insurance Program (currently $90,000). The insurance coverage can be offered by the school, a parent or a personal policy of the athlete. Two NBA players also participated in the forum, Thaddeus Young of the Philadelphia 76ers and Shane Battier, a free agent who last played with the Memphis Grizzlies. Young, who went pro after one year at Georgia Tech, presented one of the few positive accounts of college sports at the forum. “Georgia Tech is a tremendously hard and difficult school, so they definitely put more time into academics than basketball,” he said. “The teachers they don’t care if you’re a student-athlete, they just care about student.” Battier described a college regimen at Duke that included a workout at 6:30 a.m., followed by classes, practice between 4 and 7:30 p.m., and wrapping up schoolwork at 11:30 or midnight. “It is a full-time job,” he said. Battier called the NCAA’s decision last week to allow conferences to provide student-athletes up to $2,000 in spending money “a great start.” “Is that a game-changer? No. What is a gamechanger? A game-changer is guaranteeing four-year scholarships. That’s a gamechanger,” Battier said. “A game-changer is, ‘If you commit to our school, and you graduate, we will pay for any graduate degree that you would like to pursue.’” Ramogi Huma, president of the National College Players Association, called the $2,000 a step in the right direction. But he said it shouldn’t be optional, and that it still leaves a shortfall. His group has calculated the average scholarship shortfall for men’s basketball and football at the Football Bowl Subdivision level at around $3,200. With just a push at five schools, the NCPA recently got more than 300 major college football and men’s basketball players to sign a petition telling the NCAA and college presidents they want a cut of ever-increasing TV sports revenue. Ohio teen denies charges HILLSBORO, Ohio (AP) An Ohio high school football player accused of pricking players from an opposing team with a sharp object has entered the juvenile equivalent of a not guilty plea. Court officials in southern Ohio’s Highland County tell multiple media outlets that the 16-year-old boy’s attorney has filed a written denial of the charges. Prosecutors filed 27 assault counts against the teen last week. The student was on the Visit us at www.mydailysentinel.com sidelines when his Washington Court House football team beat McClain High School in September.

In response to someone who labeled the parties involved in the lockout “greedy … pigs,” Arison tweeted, “Honestly u r barking at the wrong owner.” That’s a lot more per letter than anyone has ever paid on “Wheel of Fortune.” And speaking of game shows, the closest thing to a competition involving an NBA player anywhere on TV came Tuesday when New Orleans Hornets star Chris Paul showed up with his relatives in tow for an episode of “Family Feud.” It was a poor substitute for watching the Dallas Mavericks raise last season’s championship banner into the rafters before taking on the Chicago Bulls, one of three games originally on the schedule. On the bright side, Robin Paul demonstrated where her son gets some of his fire from. “We all are competitive,” she said. “Very, very, very.” The same could be said about both sides in the lockout, though at this late juncture they seem just as interested in cannibalizing their own as the other side. Stern’s levy on Arison marked the third time he’s lightened an owner’s pocket for talking out of school about the lockout Charlotte’s Michael Jordan and Washington’s Ted Leonsis had already contributed $100,000 each to league coffers but the extra-heavy hit might reflect more than the commissioner’s growing impatience with rule breakers. Though Arison later endorsed the league’s party line about the tweet being taken out of context, it’s clear that his real sin was exposing the owners’ less-than-unified stance. Arison paid plenty to bring LeBron James and Chris Bosh to Miami and made plenty in return, not just for his franchise, but everywhere the Heat played last season. Even if the league’s claim that 22 teams are losing money is correct, successful teams such as the Heat, Knicks, Lakers and Bulls can’t be thrilled with the prospect of losing an entire season of profits to help the poorer franchises squeeze a more favorable deal from the players. But desperate as the fine made Stern look in his bid to hold ownership together, he still has a much easier task at the moment than his counterparts at the union. The 400-plus members of the players association are being tugged in different directions by executive director Billy Hunter and president Derek Fisher. They staked out different positions on the central question in the negotiations what percentage of basketball revenues the players will settle for and the campaigning behind the scenes has grown uglier by the day. Fisher has been accused of secretly negotiating a deal with Stern to get the players to agree to a 50-50 split in exchange for a cushy job with the league down the road. The rumors grew so loud he was forced to respond to the players in an email, saying, “There have been no side agreements, no side negotiations or anything close.” Stern holds most of the cards, and all he has to do is hold the owners together for a little longer. Buying that loyalty doesn’t always come cheap, but as even Arison would likely concede whenever the deal gets done, it’s rarely a bad investment. WE WANT TO KNOW WHAT’S HAPPENING!

Three victories later, the two-time Cup champion finds himself in the thick of the title hunt after a win in the Tums Fast Relief 500 at Martinsville Speedway. “I felt like there were some things that were missing,” Stewart said of his No. 14 team’s regular season performance. “I think our Chase run here — obviously Dover (25th) was not what we were looking for — but every race since then, we have been a contender. The result hasn’t always shown at some of these races. But we’ve been pretty solid in this Chase. “I don’t know what changed. The guy beside me (crew chief Darian Grubb) is the guy to ask that. He’s the guy that’s orchestrating it, organizing the people to do the job. It doesn’t matter what it is that’s changed — the good thing is that it has and it changed at the right time when we need it. That’s all you can ask for.” Stewart, winless in the 26-race regular season, snuck into the Chase seeded ninth, but swept the first two races at Chicagoland and Dover. His victory in Martinsville was the 42nd of his Cup career, placing him 16th on NASCAR’s all-time wins list, two ahead of Mark Martin and two shy of Bill Elliott in 15th. Stewart had to beat Jimmie Johnson to get to Victory Lane — a tough task considering Johnson is a six-time Martinsville race winner who had led the previous 60 laps. ^ CHASE FOR THE SPRINT CUP ^ Clint Bowyer (1) Greg Biffle Kasey Kahne AJ Allmendinger Juan Pablo Montoya Marcos Ambrose (1) David Ragan (1) Mark Martin 940 916 915 912 863 862 857 857 -1,333 -1,357 -1,358 -1,361 -1,410 -1,411 -1,416 -1,416 Nationwide Standings 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10.

BRIAN VICKERS Vickers was not on his A-game at Martinsville. The Red Bull Racing driver was involved in five wrecks at the halfmile bullring. Two of those “accidents” were acts of retaliation by Vickers. Compiled and written by Matt Taliaferro.

Speed at Texas is important, but so is a good shock and suspension package that allows the car to handle the bumps that have formed in Turns 1, 2 and 3. The exit of two and the entrance of three are the trouble spots, both from a driver’s and a mechanic’s perspective. It’s one of those places where, in my mind, strange things happen. I’m always extra wary when we go there.” Tony Stewart wins in Martinsville, closes Chase gap to eight points. Sprint Cup Standings 13. 14. 15. 16. 17. 18. 19. 20. ASP, Inc.

Talladega and Martinsville were the wild card tracks, and the two Edwards and crew were most apprehensive about. They went into ’Dega with a five-point lead and left Martinsville up eight. There is something to be said for a driver winning the championship by going out and actually winning races. That’s what Stewart is doing, with three victories in seven Chase events. Harvick gained five points on Edwards in the standings at Martinsville, but he’ll need to do better than that over the final three races to catch the 99, much less pass it. Kenseth was the points leader with 40 laps to go in Martinsville. Then it all went south, as a spin bashed his Ford to the point where he’s now 36 back and basically out of title contention. Credit Johnson for a fine run at Martinsville — only Brian Vickers’ aggression kept him out of Victory Lane — but even sweeping the last three races may not be enough at this point. Like Kenseth, BK’s late spin was costly. The Deuce may have lost up to 12 points in the standings after a solid top 10 went up in tire smoke. The difference between -15 and -27 is massive. Comparable to Edwards’ late-season performance improvement in 2010, Hamlin and the boys have strung together consecutive runs of ninth, eighth and fifth. Another win may be around the corner. It’s been a disappointing Chase for Gordon and the gang thus far. In fact, his third-place run at Martinsville was the best showing he’s had since a fourth in Loudon, five weeks ago. Will Bowyer’s hiring at Michael Waltrip Racing come at the expense of David Reutimann’s fullseason effort? It just might ... Has been wholly unspectacular throughout the Chase, which begs the question, “Why is he rated so high on this list?” Answer: Because he still has the ability to win on any given weekend. A strong six-race run comes to an end in Martinsville, which has never been a great “Kasey track.” Sliding the wrong way since the win at Dover five weeks ago.

Tony Stewart leads Chasers Kyle Busch, Jimmie Johnson and Brad Keselowski en route to his third win of the season in Sunday’s Tums Fast Relief 500 at Martinsville Speedway. Stewart lined up to Johnson’s outside on the front row on a restart with three laps remaining and was able to make the line work, nosing ahead of Johnson coming off Turn 2 and clearing him in Turns 3 and 4. “When I was inside of Tony, I went down in the corner (Turn 1) and thought that eight tires would be a lot better than four,” Johnson said of the final restart. “I changed my mind. With where he is in the points, what’s going on, the fact we raced throughout the day today (and) he never touched me, I had a hard time doing that (getting physical).” Johnson finished one car length back in second. Jeff Gordon, Kevin Harvick and Denny Hamlin rounded out the top 5. The most notable finish of the afternoon — aside from Stewart’s win — was points leader Carl Edwards’ ninth-place showing. On two occasions Edwards fell off the lead lap, the victim of an ill-handling car. However, he was able to make up both laps thanks to welltimed cautions that allowed him to get back on the lead lap over the event’s final 100 circuits. The No. 48 car will be taken by NASCAR to its Research and Development Center following each race for the remainder of the season. The reason stems from a conversation between crew chief Chad Knaus and driver Jimmie Johnson at Talladega that was picked up via NASCAR.com’s RaceBuddy. In a story first reported by SBNation.com’s Jeff Gluck, microphones in the No. 48 car picked up Knaus telling Johnson in prerace that he needed to damage the car should he win. “If we win this race, you have to crack the back of the car,” Knaus said. “You don’t have to hit it hard, you don’t have to destroy it, but you’ve gotta do a donut and you’ve gotta hit the back end, or somebody’s gotta hit you in the (expletive)-end or something. OK?” The eavesdropped conversation fueled speculation that the car may have been out of the tolerance NASCAR allows. As such, NASCAR talked to Knaus at Martinsville on Friday and informed Hendrick Motorsports that the car would be impounded and in- n The result was Edwards maintaining the Chase lead by eight over Stewart. Matt Kenseth and Brad Keselowski, who entered the event 14 and 18 points behind Edwards, had late-race spins while running in the top 10 that damaged their playoff hopes. Keselowski now sits 27 points back in fourth, while Kenseth’s title bid took a damaging hit, as he is 36 markers in arrears. Harvick’s fourth-place run allowed him to gain five points on Edwards, vaulting him from fifth to third in the standings. But Stewart, who started the afternoon 19 points shy of Edwards’ points lead, was the undisputed benefactor of what was a chaotic race. He dodged and weaved his way through 18 caution periods, and applied verbal pressure — as well as the physical heat the point standings now profess — to the ultra-consistent Edwards: “Carl Edwards better be real worried,” Stewart said with a sly grin in Victory Lane. “That’s all I’ve got to say. He’s not going to sleep for the next three weeks.” spected at the R&D Center for the season’s final four races. When asked about his request, Knaus said, “Racing at Talladega is tough, and I think everybody understands that. You run 500 miles at 200 miles per hour, and you’re bump-drafting and you’re beating on one another, and it’s real easy for these cars to get outside of tolerance. “It’s a tight tolerance that we’re held in. It doesn’t take much to be a few thousands (of an inch) off and have NASCAR raise an eyebrow. Just being proactive, I just told Jimmie, ‘Look man, we’ve just got to make sure there’s a tire mark or some type of visible damage.’ Just because cars do move when you race them like that.” Clint Bowyer’s No. 33 team suffered the consequences in the Chase’s first race last year. After winning the event, the rear end of his car was found to be out of tolerance and his team was docked 150 championship points, effectively ending his title hopes.

The 1997 Interstate Batteries 500 and ’98 Texas 500 are plagued by savage wrecks — one that nearly ends Greg Sacks’ career and another that sidelines Mike Skinner for weeks — and weepers that cancel practice and qualifying session. The mayhem even leads to whispers, though not verified, that Texas would have its single date stripped. Therefore, following the ’98 race, track owner Bruton Smith purchases a share of North Wilkesboro Speedway to move one if its two dates to his track in Texas. He has the track repaved and reconfigured and installs a new drainage system. The results are immediate, as TMS stands as one of the great facilities on the circuit. Athlon Fantasy Stall Looking at Checkers: Only one finish worse than ninth in the last nine starts for Matt Kenseth at TMS.

The Division of Mineral Resources Management prepared and the Office of Surface Mining Reclamation and Enforcement, United States Department of the Interior, concurred that the activities being undertaken by the proposed project qualify as a category of actions which would not have significant effects on the environment, either individually or cumulatively. The certification was submitted by the Division in application for Title IV financial assistance in reclaiming and restoring land and water resources adversely affected by past mining. A copy of the certification is available from the Ohio Department of Natural Resources, Division of Mineral Resources Management, 280 East State Street, Athens, Ohio 45701. The project covered by this action is titled “Workman Mine Drain” (#MG-Sb-79) and is located northwest of Pomeroy in section 26, Salisbury Township, Meigs County, Ohio. Mine drainage and surface runoff flowing through an unreclaimed strip mine spoil pile causes erosion which periodically inhibits access to a residence and business. The area will be regraded and a new channel will be installed to convey water from a previously reclaimed mine site to an existing culvert. All disturbed areas will be graded and revegetated. This project is 100% federally funded. If you have any questions or concerns about the project, please contact Mr. Terry VanOfferen at the Division's address listed above or at (614) 265-1094.

Nearly halfway through the season, only one team in the NFC East has a winning record. The New York Giants are 5-2 while Philadelphia, Dallas and Washington each are 3-4. No other division has produced more Super Bowl winners (11) or conference champions (19), but there’s no beast in the East this season. “I think there’s more parity throughout the league,” Eagles coach Andy Reid said. “And that’s what the league is striving for with the (salary) cap and so on. So I think we’re there. I thought we were there the last couple of years and you start talking about the percentage of games that are determined by seven points or less and it’s getting over that 50 percent mark. “There’s some parity going on.” Parity could be considered a synonym for mediocrity. Re- gardless, first place is certainly up for grabs in the East. The team that was supposed to be there all along just might end up on top. The Eagles have rebounded nicely from a dreadful 1-4 start and are finally playing like, dare we say, a Dream Team. They’ve won two in a row, including a convincing 34-7 rout of the Cowboys in front of a national audience on Sunday night. “The Eagles are back. The Eagles are back and we’re ready to play Eagle Football,” cornerback Asante Samuel boasted. “We did that on primetime, so everybody could see. Hopefully we can use this as a motivation factor and keep going.” Turnovers and sloppy mistakes cost the Eagles in each of their losses. They also lost two games they were leading before Michael Vick was injured and couldn’t finish. Reid took a lot of criticism and plenty of fans and media called for his firing. To a man, every player stood by their coach. They’ve seemingly turned things around and are a confident bunch these days. “The games we’ve lost, we’ve done it to ourselves,” said defensive end Jason Babin, one of six former Pro Bowl players the Eagles added in the offseason. “And when we do the right things, beautiful things happen.” With Vick and LeSean McCoy leading the way, the offense is ranked No. 1 in the league. The pass-happy Eagles even have the top rushing attack. The defense has improved under offensive-line-coachturned-defensivecoordinator Juan Castillo. Nnamdi Asomugha, the All-Pro cornerback and prized free-agent signing, is finally fitting in after a so-so first month. Overall, the unit has allowed just two touchdowns in the last two games. “We know how good we are and it’s Want To Buy Apartments/Townhouses Will pick up unwanted Appliances& yard sale items also Will haul or buy Auto's, Buses & Scrap metal Ph. 446-3698 ask for Robert. 2BR APT.Close to Holzer Hospital on SR 160 C/A.

We have a lot of work to do. We still have improvements to make and we still have a long way ahead of us.” The Eagles and Giants could be headed for a first-place showdown on Nov. 20 at the Meadowlands. Philadelphia has home games against Chicago (4-3) next Monday and Arizona (1-6) before its rematch with the Giants. New York has a brutal schedule coming up. The Giants visit New England (5-2) and San Francisco (61) the next two weeks. After facing the Eagles, they’ll play at New Orleans (5-3) and host Green Bay (7-0). That’s not a favorable situation for a team that’s fortunate to be leading its division. The Giants have been far from dominant in their wins with three coming by four points Tara Townhouse Apt. 2BR 1.5 BA, back patio, pool, playground. $450 mth 740-646-8231 RENTALS AVAILABLE! 2 BR townhouse apartments, also renting 2 & 3BR houses.

Visit us online at www.mydailysentinel.com Ad goes here �Friday November 4, 2011 www.mydailysentinel.com Colts QB Manning still waiting to heal INDIANAPOLIS (AP) Peyton Manning and Jim Irsay agree on one thing: The Manning Era isn’t over in Indianapolis. Manning said Thursday that he hopes to return to practice yet this year and still holds out hope of playing if doctors say he is finally healed from his Sept. 8 neck surgery. Irsay, the team owner, said he expects the four-time NFL MVP to play at least a few more years at a high level. There are some big questions looming, however. The Colts must decide whether to opt out of Manning’s five-year contract or pay a $28 million bonus to keep him on the roster. And if they have a high draft pick next year — the Colts are currently 0-8 — Indy also will have to decide whether to take Manning’s heir apparent, someone like Andrew Luck or Landry Jones. “It’s something you talk about and scenarios, who could be behind Peyton and how long you want him to sit and how much money you have committed to quarterbacks,” Irsay said. “I think theoretically, you could have Peyton for two or three more good years and then have someone behind him, but that’s theoretical.” Manning hasn’t played since having the procedure to repair a damaged nerve that caused weakness in his right throwing arm. It was his third neck procedure in 19 months, a series of surgeries that have caused consternation among Colts fans who wonder if the team’s long run of success is coming to an end. “I think it’s too early to bury this era,” Irsay said during a 40-minute interview. “I think to say that Peyton is done and the era is over is, to me, way, way too premature. I’ve always sort of known that era would be decided when Peyton is here. But I don’t feel like that era is done.” A few hours earlier, Manning made his second impromptu locker room appearance of the season, telling reporters that he’s spending every day in rehab and that he hopes to practice with his teammates in December and play in a game later this season. But he hasn’t yet been cleared for football activity by the doctors, and there’s no timetable for when he will. “We’re still waiting for the fusion to take place, it’s still going slow with that and we still have some issues with the nerve and the regeneration of the nerve,” Manning said. “There’s really not a schedule, a timeline of where I am.” Doctors who were not involved with Manning’s surgery said it was likely to take two or three months before Indy’s franchise quarterback could make it back to practice, which is consistent with Manning’s latest comments. Manning said the doctors have limitations on what he can do, and he did not provide details about what he can do in rehab. Last month, Manning was cleared to stand on the sideline with his teammates during games, a significant move because of the possibility of getting hit inadvertently, and for a couple of weeks he was seen walking briskly around the team’s practice fields. Without their franchise quarterback, the Colts have struggled mightily, falling to 0-8 for the first time since 1997, and many are wondering whether Manning will be healthy enough to make it back this season — or in the future. Manning made it clear Thursday he intends to be taking hits as soon as possible. “I miss playing, I really do. If I get cleared to play and I’m good enough, would I play? Absolutely,” he said. “I’d love to because that’s how I’m wired, that’s my job and I love my job. ROGER ABBOTT Meigs Local School Board Thank you for your Support ECT RE-EL Paid for by the candidate, 37019 Rocksprings Road, Pomeroy, Ohio PLEASE SUPPORT Your Meigs County Health Department Renewal Levy Paid For By Friends of Meigs Health Marlene Harrison, Treasurer 60258879 The Daily Sentinel • Page B8 Experience separates LSU, Alabama at QB BATON ROUGE, La. (AP) Even as LSU’s Jarrett Lee called AJ McCarron “a great quarterback,” he wondered whether Alabama’s first-year starter could appreciate the pressurized environment he’ll encounter on Saturday night. “This is a pretty big ball game and we have a very talented team,” Lee said of the top-ranked Tigers’ highly anticipated trip to Tuscaloosa. “So I don’t think he’s experienced anything like this.” Oddly, neither of the nation’s two highest-ranked teams have relied heavily on their quarterbacks so far this season, bucking a trend in college football toward spread offenses that throw all over the field. Instead, LSU and second-ranked Alabama have rolled to doubledigit victories in all eight of their games on the strength of their punishing running games and suffocating, hardhitting defenses. “As far as the quarterback position goes, we’re just trying to manage the ball game,” Lee said. “Between us two teams, I don’t guess the quarterbacks throw up a whole lot of big stats in the passing game. … We’re not worried about stats. We just want to keep winning.” Yet, because the Tigers and Crimson Tide have similar strengths, their matchup might turn on the performance of their quarterbacks, who to this point have had to do little more than minimize mistakes and make enough throws to keep defenses honest. For Lee, the main difference between the two teams’ signal callers is the amount of big games under their belts, and the maturity that comes with that. Lee and fellow senior Jordan Jefferson each have taken a lot of snaps at LSU since 2008, learning from errors they made in dramatic losses to Southeastern Conference rivals. They’ve steadily gained the confidence to make decisive plays with games on the line, as they did several times last season, including in the Tigers’ 24-21 victory over Alabama. “One thing for us is, me and Jordan, we’ve been in big ball games before,” Lee said. “We’ve won big ball games, so the experience is one of the major factors as far as the quarterback position between us and them.” LSU coach Les Miles echoed Lee’s comments, predicting that the Tigers’ “experience at quarterback will give us certain advantages in running our offense and doing the things we want to do.” McCarron, a sophomore, is 8-0 as a starter for an Alabama team that has overmatched every opponent so far. He has yet to lead a fourth-quarter scoring drive with a game on the line in his career. Still, he has been largely mistake-free since throwing a pair of interceptions in his debut as a starter against Kent State. Before throwing only his third interception of the season against Tennessee two weeks ago, he threw 152 straight passes without being picked off, the third longest streak in Alabama history. McCarron has completed 67 percent of his passes for 1,664 yards and 10 TDs, which compares well to Lee’s 63 percent passing for 1,250 yards and 13 TDs. “He makes quality decisions, is very confident with his throws and is protected pretty well,” Miles said of McCarron. “He is really doing the things that their coaches are asking him to do.” While Alabama does not make McCarron available for interviews, his teammates praise his poise in the huddle and express little doubt that he’ll remain steady in the face of a play-making LSU defense that has 19 sacks, 11 interceptions and 10 forced fumbles this season. “AJ’s a leader out there on the field and he’ll get the job done,” Alabama receiver Darius Hanks said. “He can handle the tough situations. For him to be a young quarterback, when things don’t go well, he’s always one of the guys saying, ‘Let’s go, let’s pick things up’ out there on the field.” If McCarron struggles, Alabama might have to stick with him. LSU, however, has the luxury of changing things up. While Lee, a more conventional pocket passer, takes the overwhelming majority of snaps, Miles has worked Jefferson into games regularly. Jefferson runs the option and has only thrown the ball 10 times, but has completed six of those passes for 123 yards and two touchdowns. “Both of their quarterbacks are playing extremely well,” said Alabama coach Nick Saban, noting that both played key roles in LSU’s victory over the Tide last season. “Even though Jarrett Lee has played a lot more, Jordan Jefferson has complemented him extremely well when he’s come in with a little different style. It creates a lot of preparation time” for defenses. Lee is a strong-armed Texan who arrived at LSU unafraid to take risks down field, but paid for it with 16 interceptions in his freshman season, including four in an overtime loss to Alabama in Tiger Stadium. This season, Lee has thrown only one interception in 155 attempts and speaks confidently of his ability to make clutch throws against anyone. At times, he still sees himself as big-play quarterback, which he has backed up with some long completions to leading LSU receiver Rueben Randle. Yet Lee sees no reason why quarterbacks like him, or McCarron, should take offense to being labeled a “game manager.” “It just means we’re winning,” Lee said. “I’m OK with it.” ___ AP Sports Writer John Zenor in Tuscaloosa, Ala., contributed to this story.
