'"We said we were not going to take a 2, but we would win the game," Mountaineers coach John Beilein said. ""The ftrSt option was Darris, and the second would have been Frank (Young).

Nichols fmished with 17 points and Young added 16to help the Mountaineers (26-9) advance to the NIT linals for the ftrst time since winning the title in 1942. West Virginia, which will face the winner of the Air ForceClemson game in the linals on Thursday night, had lost its last three appearances in the semifinals.

UC president receives extension through 2012 Diet, weight, screening prevent colon cancer Question: My father was just diagnosed with colon cancer. He had extensive SW1CfY, and the doctors are pretty sure they got all of the cancer. Dad is only 65 and never really had any problems with his bowels. The doctors say my brothers, sisters and I should have some testing done because this runs in families. Besides testing, are there things we can do to prevent colon cancer? Answer: Colon cancer is one of the most common types of cancer, accounting for about eght percent of afl · forms of this disease. The probability of being diagnosed with colon cancer increases with age. Over 90 percent of colon cancer cases are in people over 50. Before I answer your question directly, a hrief anatomy lesson might be of help. The colon, or large intestine, forms the last live to six feet of your gastrointestinal tract. Before arriving in your colon, the food you eat must pass through your stomach and small mtestines, where the nutrients are absorbed into the bloodstream. Once in the colon, water is removed from the leftover products of digestion. and the stool is pushed further along. When it reaches the final six inches of the colon, an area known as the rectum, it is ready for elimination from the body through the anus. Since cancer can strike anywhere in the colon, including the rectum, I' II use the broader term colorectal cancer in the rest of today's column. There can be many sy mptoms of colore ctal cancer, but most are very non- spedfic . These include tiredne ss. weakness, change in bowel habits, weight loss, abdominal pain , cramping o r bloating. Colon cancer can be prese nt for many years before symptoms develop. The sy mptoms also depend on the location of the tumor. Tumors in the right side of the large intestine can become quite large before they are diag nosed, because the right side of the colon is very wide. Tumors in the left side of tbe colon have symptoms earlier, since this side of the colon is narrower than the right. Many risk factors have • been identified for colorectal cancer. One of these is having a close relative with the disease. A chronic bowel condition called ulcerative cQlitis can also increase your risk if you have it for more than 10 years. These factors cannot he changed. Fortunately, there are some risk factors that you can control. These include smoking, obesity and diet. You can help prevent colonectal cancer by eating a diet high in fresh fruits and vegetables and keeping your weight down. There have been studies suggesting that having a diet high in calcium and taking aspirin can help reduce some tyi'Cis of colorectal cancer. On the down side. rosearch has shown th(lt ~pie who eat a diet high m f;~t as well as those that eat a lot of red meat have an increased risk of getting colorectal ciillcer. And yes, your doctors gave you good advice about the screening tests. Gel all that they recommend. Most colorectal cancers start out as precancerous growths called polyps. Havinjl regular colon screenmg tests so that these polyps are removed as soon as they are found can prevent colorectal cancer altogether. Colon cancer is highly preventable with proper screening.

" Because the outcome is below our threshold of rejection for the sample, I see no need to investigate further." Koonce added.

UC president receives extension through 2012 Diet, weight, screening prevent colon cancer Question: My father was just diagnosed with colon cancer. He had extensive SW1CfY, and the doctors are pretty sure they got all of the cancer. Dad is only 65 and never really had any problems with his bowels. The doctors say my brothers, sisters and I should have some testing done because this runs in families. Besides testing, are there things we can do to prevent colon cancer? Answer: Colon cancer is one of the most common types of cancer, accounting for about eght percent of afl · forms of this disease. The probability of being diagnosed with colon cancer increases with age. Over 90 percent of colon cancer cases are in people over 50. Before I answer your question directly, a hrief anatomy lesson might be of help. The colon, or large intestine, forms the last live to six feet of your gastrointestinal tract. Before arriving in your colon, the food you eat must pass through your stomach and small mtestines, where the nutrients are absorbed into the bloodstream. Once in the colon, water is removed from the leftover products of digestion. and the stool is pushed further along. When it reaches the final six inches of the colon, an area known as the rectum, it is ready for elimination from the body through the anus. Since cancer can strike anywhere in the colon, including the rectum, I' II use the broader term colorectal cancer in the rest of today's column. There can be many sy mptoms of colore ctal cancer, but most are very non- spedfic . These include tiredne ss. weakness, change in bowel habits, weight loss, abdominal pain , cramping o r bloating. Colon cancer can be prese nt for many years before symptoms develop. The sy mptoms also depend on the location of the tumor. Tumors in the right side of the large intestine can become quite large before they are diag nosed, because the right side of the colon is very wide. Tumors in the left side of tbe colon have symptoms earlier, since this side of the colon is narrower than the right. Many risk factors have • been identified for colorectal cancer. One of these is having a close relative with the disease. A chronic bowel condition called ulcerative cQlitis can also increase your risk if you have it for more than 10 years. These factors cannot he changed. Fortunately, there are some risk factors that you can control. These include smoking, obesity and diet. You can help prevent colonectal cancer by eating a diet high in fresh fruits and vegetables and keeping your weight down. There have been studies suggesting that having a diet high in calcium and taking aspirin can help reduce some tyi'Cis of colorectal cancer. On the down side. rosearch has shown th(lt ~pie who eat a diet high m f;~t as well as those that eat a lot of red meat have an increased risk of getting colorectal ciillcer. And yes, your doctors gave you good advice about the screening tests. Gel all that they recommend. Most colorectal cancers start out as precancerous growths called polyps. Havinjl regular colon screenmg tests so that these polyps are removed as soon as they are found can prevent colorectal cancer altogether. Colon cancer is highly preventable with proper screening.

Opus Dei supernumerary who betrayed his country, family and faith. Finnerty focused on a Los Angeles Times article that referred to the spy being pan of the ''rigid Catholic sect known as Opus Dei," in part because of that newspaper's history of excellence in religion-news coverage. After lengthy deliberations, the reader's representative replied earlier this week to say that editors have been advised that the word "sect" should not ltave been used to refer to Opus Dei. This was another symbolic moment in an important conversation, said Finnerty, a celibate Opus Dei member who previously worked in a secular newsroom. "If some left-wing journal wants to call us a 'sect,' I'm not going to get too upset," he said. "But I have to react when we see that word used in some of the nation's top newspapers .... Calling us a 'sect' is a low blow, an attempt to push us out of the life of the church. We are a well-established pan of the Roman Catholic Church. That's who we are, and people need to know that." numeraries," and the rest are celibate " numeraries," assistants or associates. Critics argue that, because most members continue mainstream careers, it's almost impossible to know how wealthy "Octopus Dei" really is and how much power it wields in corporations and governments. Many critics also call Opus Dei a •·sect," and this has filtered into some newsrooms. This is a fighting word, since the Religion Newswriters Association online stylebook warns that "sect" refers to "a group that has broken off from another. Avoid this label unless you are sure it fits.' ' It's strange to call Opus Dei a sect because. in 1982, Pope John Paul II declared it a "personal prelature" a kind of global diocese with direct ties to the Vatican. Then, in 2002, . Opus Dei's founder was canonized as St. Josemaria. The bottom line : Opus Dei is not controversial because it has broken off from Rome. Opus Dei is controversial because of its power base inside the bean of Rome. Recently, Finnerty jumped when "sect" appeared again in some major newspapers during coverage of yet another movie .

Consulting the Senate tended to prevent overtly panisan actions like replacing Little Rock U.S. attorney, Bud Cwnmins, with one Timothy Griffin, a Karl Rove apparatchik with scant qualifications.

Opus Dei supernumerary who betrayed his country, family and faith. Finnerty focused on a Los Angeles Times article that referred to the spy being pan of the ''rigid Catholic sect known as Opus Dei," in part because of that newspaper's history of excellence in religion-news coverage. After lengthy deliberations, the reader's representative replied earlier this week to say that editors have been advised that the word "sect" should not ltave been used to refer to Opus Dei. This was another symbolic moment in an important conversation, said Finnerty, a celibate Opus Dei member who previously worked in a secular newsroom. "If some left-wing journal wants to call us a 'sect,' I'm not going to get too upset," he said. "But I have to react when we see that word used in some of the nation's top newspapers .... Calling us a 'sect' is a low blow, an attempt to push us out of the life of the church. We are a well-established pan of the Roman Catholic Church.

Critics argue that, because most members continue mainstream careers, it's almost impossible to know how wealthy "Octopus Dei" really is and how much power it wields in corporations and governments. Many critics also call Opus Dei a •·sect," and this has filtered into some newsrooms. This is a fighting word, since the Religion Newswriters Association online stylebook warns that "sect" refers to "a group that has broken off from another. Avoid this label unless you are sure it fits.' ' It's strange to call Opus Dei a sect because. in 1982, Pope John Paul II declared it a "personal prelature" a kind of global diocese with direct ties to the Vatican. Then, in 2002, . Opus Dei's founder was canonized as St. Josemaria. The bottom line : Opus Dei is not controversial because it has broken off from Rome. Opus Dei is controversial because of its power base inside the bean of Rome. Recently, Finnerty jumped when "sect" appeared again in some major newspapers during coverage of yet another movie .

Consulting the Senate tended to prevent overtly panisan actions like replacing Little Rock U.S. attorney, Bud Cwnmins, with one Timothy Griffin, a Karl Rove apparatchik with scant qualifications.

Usually, these dinners will be held on the first Thursday of each month. However. in March we will hold the annual evening March · for Meals dinner on Thursday. March 29 to close the month-long fundraiser. We started off the evening din- Trips for 2007 ners in January with Donna Wilson here to tell stories "by the fireside." She recalled the winter that staned r.illht after Christmas in 1993 w1th snow and cold temperatures and continued into the new year of 1994 with temperatures getting down to 30 degrees below 0. Thank goodness the winter of 2007 dido't come close to that. Our evening dinner in February was held February 8, and in keeping with Valentine's Day we honored special guests - couples who had been married SO or more years. We had 13 couples attend and the center room was transformed into a Valentine's dream. Robert Robie sponsored the evening and through his generosity we were able to offer the couples free dinners, pictures, corsages for the ladies and boutonnieres . for the men. Janet Bolin did the flower arrangements for the tables and for the couples. The MCCoA staff supplied the door prizes awarded during the evening. The honored guests for the evening included: Don and Lee Young, Bob and Etta Mae Hill, Delbert and Opal VanMeter, Bill and Malline Little, Joe and Many Struble, Lawrence and Betty Foreman, Nancy and Howard Ervin, Bruce and Joan May, Raymond and Del\)res Donahue, Don and Lots Bell, Gerald and Patricia Shoemaker, Manning and June Kloes and Bob and JoAnn Eads. 'The next evening dinner will be held on March 29 and entertainment will be provided by 'The Forgiven Four from Joy FM. We will also have our cake contest and auction that evening as part of the March for Meals fundraiser. The April evening dinner will be held on Thursday. April 5. AI each of these dinners we will hold a special drawing from our membership. The winners will receive a gift certificate for a local business or restaurant and must be present to win. Only persons holding a 2007 membership will be eligible for this drawing. The evening dinner in May will be held on May 3 and we will honor our members who are aged 90 or over with a free dinner. If you are at least 90 years young and a 2007 member of the MCCoA please call and register for the dinner. We would love to have you as one of our honored ~uests in May to help us recogmze Older American's Month. Beth Shaver, Executive Director ( RSVP News -April 2007 I received a call from a nurse at Holzer Medical Center to see if I had any volunteers who could make soft, small stuffed animals or dolls for children in the Pediatric Ward and in the Emergency Room. We all know how scary the hospital can be and maybe having one of these little "coddlers" to hang onto will ease a child's fears. Right away names started racing through my mind. This one could crochet, this one could knit and others can sew. I have several easy patterns for a rabbit, bear and a baby that can be sewn either by hand or on a machine. I also have very simple crochet and knitting patterns. They don't want buttons or anything else on them that could be swallowed by the little ones. I already have some ladies here at the center who are going to help, but we need these cuddly animals and dolls as soon as possible. That's where those of you who can knit, crochet and sew come into the picture. You can pick up a pattern here at the center or call me and I will send the pattern to you.

March 29 to close the month-long fundraiser. We started off the evening din- Trips for 2007 ners in January with Donna Wilson here to tell stories "by the fireside." She recalled the winter that staned r.illht after Christmas in 1993 w1th snow and cold temperatures and continued into the new year of 1994 with temperatures getting down to 30 degrees below 0. Thank goodness the winter of 2007 dido't come close to that. Our evening dinner in February was held February 8, and in keeping with Valentine's Day we honored special guests - couples who had been married SO or more years. We had 13 couples attend and the center room was transformed into a Valentine's dream. Robert Robie sponsored the evening and through his generosity we were able to offer the couples free dinners, pictures, corsages for the ladies and boutonnieres . for the men. Janet Bolin did the flower arrangements for the tables and for the couples. The MCCoA staff supplied the door prizes awarded during the evening. The honored guests for the evening included: Don and Lee Young, Bob and Etta Mae Hill, Delbert and Opal VanMeter, Bill and Malline Little, Joe and Many Struble, Lawrence and Betty Foreman, Nancy and Howard Ervin, Bruce and Joan May, Raymond and Del\)res Donahue, Don and Lots Bell, Gerald and Patricia Shoemaker, Manning and June Kloes and Bob and JoAnn Eads.

We would love to have you as one of our honored ~uests in May to help us recogmze Older American's Month. Beth Shaver, Executive Director ( RSVP News -April 2007 I received a call from a nurse at Holzer Medical Center to see if I had any volunteers who could make soft, small stuffed animals or dolls for children in the Pediatric Ward and in the Emergency Room. We all know how scary the hospital can be and maybe having one of these little "coddlers" to hang onto will ease a child's fears. Right away names started racing through my mind. This one could crochet, this one could knit and others can sew. I have several easy patterns for a rabbit, bear and a baby that can be sewn either by hand or on a machine. I also have very simple crochet and knitting patterns. They don't want buttons or anything else on them that could be swallowed by the little ones. I already have some ladies here at the center who are going to help, but we need these cuddly animals and dolls as soon as possible. That's where those of you who can knit, crochet and sew come into the picture. You can pick up a pattern here at the center or call me and I will send the pattern to you. Now. here is where I need everyone's help. We need yarn and flannel material to make the "coddlers." If you have ~ood, clean flannel or yarn and would like to donate it, just drop 1t off at the center. RSVP -An Invitation to Volunteer If you are 55 years of age, can volunteer a few hours a week and enjoy working with others to solve community problems, · RSVP could be just what you need.

HeadCoa<h: Richard Fr Word Ads PLAY COVERALL BINGO fromPageBl Jones' attorney, Manny Arora of Atlanla, said they hope lhe commissioner will wail until the Las Vegas case is resolved before tak· ing aclion. If not, Jones is prepared to fight it legally, Arora said, especially if Jones were to receive a one-year suspen· sion. "It's going to end up being a big fight. There' II be injunctions," Arora said. "The NFL will fight this and that. We're going 10 draw it out throu~h the court. and the attention's going to go through the roof" The new player-conduct policy is e~pected to be in place before the April 28-29 draft. "I suspect the policy will go lhrough changes over time, and we'll need to continue to evaluale it," Goodell said. "How we deal with these players will speak volumes." Indianapolis Colts coach Tony Dungy acknowledged changes must be made. "I'm for whatever steps would help us address this problem better," Dungy said. "We have a great game, and we can· t let it erode." Dungy was asked if sanctioning learns by taking away money from their salary caps would be an effective tooL "That would get people's attention," he said. More likely, Goodell would consider fines and suspensions for players, with fines and loss of draft picks for teams.

Maua had to promise Oden and Conley thai if the NCAA low· ered the boom on Ohio State they would not be bound by the letter of intent they signed with the school. David Lighty, Daequan Cook and junior-college transfer Othello Hunter also came on board. When the penalties came out, they were not crippling ~ _probation, repayment of $800,000 in revenues earned during the O'Brien NCAA yeaxs and emdication of all mention of the accomplish· ments from that era The 'final Four banner from 1999 was taken down; now, officially, the Buckeyes' last trip 10 the national semifinals came in 1968. Savovic's name does not even appear in the Ohio State media guide under past letterwinners. But there was no po<>tseason ban. Finally, the players found out that they would be permitted to go to the NCAA tournament That overo~ehiev· ing team went 26-6 and won the conference's regular-season title before losing in the second round of the NCAA tournament to Georgetown. "The greatest teaching moment to me is that a coach can take a team with that much of a cloud over his head and a team can still be sue· cessful," Smith said.

If not, Jones is prepared to fight it legally, Arora said, especially if Jones were to receive a one-year suspen· sion. "It's going to end up being a big fight. There' II be injunctions," Arora said. "The NFL will fight this and that. We're going 10 draw it out throu~h the court. and the attention's going to go through the roof" The new player-conduct policy is e~pected to be in place before the April 28-29 draft. "I suspect the policy will go lhrough changes over time, and we'll need to continue to evaluale it," Goodell said. "How we deal with these players will speak volumes." Indianapolis Colts coach Tony Dungy acknowledged changes must be made. "I'm for whatever steps would help us address this problem better," Dungy said. "We have a great game, and we can· t let it erode." Dungy was asked if sanctioning learns by taking away money from their salary caps would be an effective tooL "That would get people's attention," he said. More likely, Goodell would consider fines and suspensions for players, with fines and loss of draft picks for teams.

By D. L. ConltBLl. Ultiversol Media Syrtdicau UMS - The clock is ticking. Hotline operators are bracing for the flood of calls. That's because the United States Mint• has forever ceased production of our beloved state' quarter. They will never be minted again. But today, thousands of state residents are calling for some of the last remaining state quarters. For the next 48 hours only the World Reserve Monetary Exchange is offering up the last of its private hoard of Ohio state quarters to state residents only. Those state residents who beat the deadline will be getting these ·restricted rolls of the last of their borne state quarters at face value in brilliant, never-circulated condition. They are only asked to cover the processing fee and shipping. But the government is not tbe one to thank. "The people of Ohio are sick and tired of the whole universe always revolving around New York City and California. So, we felt Ohioans deserved to get the last of these state quarters before anyone else. could get their hands on them," confirms John T. White, Executive Director of the privately owned World Reserve Monetary Exchange. "That's why we're opening our vaults exclusively to Ohioans for the next 48 hours," White said. "Non-~esidents are restricted from getting these special state resident rolls of the Ohio state quarters. And, you can't find these rolls at the U.S. Mint, at the Federal Reserve or at any local bank. You can't get them rolled this way anywhere else," said White. These are not just ordinary commercial forty coin rolls. They were rolled into special twentyfive coin bankrolls under the supervision of vault workers wearing white gloves and are currently under guard at the private World Reserve secured facility. Now, they will only be released to Ohio residents. And at face value, they are getting them for a real steal. These Ohio state quarters have never been circulated. That's why collectors board them whenev11r they can get their hands on them. "You cannot fmd these nevercirculated coins in your pocket change.

These specral rolls are restricted because nonresidents cannot have them. -John l Wh1te. "We've put on extra staff and have earmarked our entire vault stock. That means there will be enough of these special twenty·five coin state resident rolls for all Ohioans who beat the 48 hour order deadline," said White. But with less than 48 hours remaining, and with a very limited number of coins actually minted, the demand is expected to be at record levels. "Lots of people will be getting 10 rolls because they make such wonderful gifts for any orcasion for their children, parents, grandparents and friends," said White. "To keep these quarters in their never-circulated condition, they are being carefully placed into rich gold embroidered vault bags, and special customtailored coin jackets for state residents only," White said. "These vault bags turn the rolls of coins into an impressive gift. The person who receives it will feel like they just got a pot of gold. And these vault bags and customtailored coin jackets are available only to Ohio state residents," he added. Whether readers get these special restricted Ohio State Quarters for themselves or to give as gifts, one thing is <>ertain, this marks the end of the great coin that brought honor and pride to the state of Ohio. With such a limited supply available and only hours left to get them, Ohio residents are scrambling to get all they can now. So, for at least the next 48 hours, it looks like Ohio is truly the "center of the universe." • • NEVER-CIRCULATED AND AVAILABLE ONLY TO OHIOANS: This art1st's rend1t1on shows the beaut tful state quarter honoring the great state of Ohto.

Beginning at 8:00 am today, resident s of eastern Ohio should begin calling to get all the rolls of quarters they want.

The values of the Ohio and Louisiana State Quarters have also risen since their release date," confirms John T. White, Executive Director of the privately owned World Reserve Monetary Exchange. "The values of coins can differ dramatically and there are never any guarantees.

These specral rolls are restricted because nonresidents cannot have them. -John l Wh1te. "We've put on extra staff and have earmarked our entire vault stock. That means there will be enough of these special twenty·five coin state resident rolls for all Ohioans who beat the 48 hour order deadline," said White. But with less than 48 hours remaining, and with a very limited number of coins actually minted, the demand is expected to be at record levels. "Lots of people will be getting 10 rolls because they make such wonderful gifts for any orcasion for their children, parents, grandparents and friends," said White. "To keep these quarters in their never-circulated condition, they are being carefully placed into rich gold embroidered vault bags, and special customtailored coin jackets for state residents only," White said. "These vault bags turn the rolls of coins into an impressive gift. The person who receives it will feel like they just got a pot of gold. And these vault bags and customtailored coin jackets are available only to Ohio state residents," he added. Whether readers get these special restricted Ohio State Quarters for themselves or to give as gifts, one thing is <>ertain, this marks the end of the great coin that brought honor and pride to the state of Ohio. With such a limited supply available and only hours left to get them, Ohio residents are scrambling to get all they can now. So, for at least the next 48 hours, it looks like Ohio is truly the "center of the universe." • • NEVER-CIRCULATED AND AVAILABLE ONLY TO OHIOANS: This art1st's rend1t1on shows the beaut tful state quarter honoring the great state of Ohto.

The values of the Ohio and Louisiana State Quarters have also risen since their release date," confirms John T. White, Executive Director of the privately owned World Reserve Monetary Exchange. "The values of coins can differ dramatically and there are never any guarantees.

With three of their top four starting pitchers back, as well as f1ve everyday regulars from an 8-14 squad that finished fourth in the Tri-Valley Conference Ohio Division, the Marauders are at least armed to make another run at their second TVC Ohio crown in the last three years. Third-year coach Jeremy Grimm, who has compiled a 2221 overall record at MHS, has up to seven players on his 13man varsity roster that can work · some innings on the mound this spring. He also has a pair of AllTYC and .all-district selections back on the infield corners. as well as a catcher. an infielde{ and an outfielder. With experience all around the diamond, as well as depth at the one-spot, there is reason to be optimistic about a title run in 2007. At the same time, the Maroon and Gold have a 13-man roster that is made up of seven sophomores and freshmen collectively. There are also just three seruors. Graduation also took its toll, claiming two-year starter and All-TVC performer Eric VanMeter, as well as outfielders Josh Kimes and Matt Imboden. With a young ·albeit talented to fill in those open startmg and utility roles, the key to league success may just come down to how well those returnees perform while the newcomers gain confidence. And that's a scenario that Grimm is just fine with, as long as the club comes to play everyday. "We are young, so we want to continue to work hard and improve as a team," he commented. "We have a strong pitching staff and we should be able to make a run at the TVC Ohio championship." Returning for the Maroon and Gold are seniors Dave Poole and Clayton Blackston; juniors Aaron Story and · Austin Dunfee; and sophomore Bryan Delong.

ROCK SPRINGS - Keep a good thing gomg. That's the objective for Meigs track and field coach Mike Kennedy, who replaces Jesse Vail after two seasons. Over the past two years, the Maroon and Gold have made vast improvements on the oval. And the proof is in the results. At the 2004 Tri- Valley Conference Championships, MHS was dead-last as a team m both boys and girls competition. One year later - Vail's first season both teams were seventh. And 2006 may have been his breakout season, as the Lady Marauders were tied for third and the boys finished sixth overall. But the biggest thing to come out of last sprin~ were nine regional qualifiers dnd one district championship in the boys 4x 100 relay. Meigs returns 19 letter-winners and has a total of 44 athletes competing in 2007, including just seven seniors. · Though they are still relatively young, Kennedy has high expectations th1s season and definitely wants his kids to continue this success. "We should do very well this year as we have good numbers, not to mention quality athletes," he commented. "Our sopb()more girls are a very strong class and we have some great experience with them, and the upperclassmen and ret~s bave shown good leadership on the boys side. We are hoping this growth continues for the next couple of months." As well as improving in the league and in the postseason . · "The girls team fell short last season at the TVC Championships and I know they would love to tum that around this year. I think the bo~s can accomplish that same feat as well,' Kennedy said. "I think some of these kids will qualify for the regional meet and I certainly would not rule out the state meet as a possibility for a few of them." BY•ww.u.s BWALTERS@MYDAILYTRIBUNE.COM GIRLS The Lady Marauders tied for second in the Ohio Division with Belpre in 2006 and were just five team points behind overall runner-up and TVC Ohio winner Nelsonville- York. There are II varsity returnees and four re~ional qualifiers back this spring, but thts is still a relatively young group with 10 sophomores alone on the 20-deep roster. MHS also lost a pair of four-year letter-winners in Ashley Samar and Ashley Savage to graduation. Senior Meghan Clelland, as well as sophomores Devan Soulsby and Catie Wolfe, return to the district and TVC runner-up 800-meter relay squad.

The rest is well-known history. Not that Southern coach RiL·hard Cooksey is being compared to Julius Caesar in any regard , but the man that revived the track and field program in 2006 after a three-year hiatus is already witnessing a large grnup of followers for this noble cause. Like nearly four times as many. A whopping 41 participants - 30 boys and II girls .- have decided to give the oval a goaround this spring after the Tornadoes fielded a roster of II ath letes just .one year ago in their varsity return. With such an astounding turnout for year-two. Cooksey - who has also revived cross country over the last two years at SHS - can't help but be optimistic about the direction that track and field is headed in. "This looks to be a tremendous building year for us. Numbers are up, the athletes are working really hard and they are learning the art of running,'' he commented.

That's the objective for Meigs track and field coach Mike Kennedy, who replaces Jesse Vail after two seasons. Over the past two years, the Maroon and Gold have made vast improvements on the oval. And the proof is in the results. At the 2004 Tri- Valley Conference Championships, MHS was dead-last as a team m both boys and girls competition. One year later - Vail's first season both teams were seventh. And 2006 may have been his breakout season, as the Lady Marauders were tied for third and the boys finished sixth overall. But the biggest thing to come out of last sprin~ were nine regional qualifiers dnd one district championship in the boys 4x 100 relay. Meigs returns 19 letter-winners and has a total of 44 athletes competing in 2007, including just seven seniors. · Though they are still relatively young, Kennedy has high expectations th1s season and definitely wants his kids to continue this success. "We should do very well this year as we have good numbers, not to mention quality athletes," he commented. "Our sopb()more girls are a very strong class and we have some great experience with them, and the upperclassmen and ret~s bave shown good leadership on the boys side. We are hoping this growth continues for the next couple of months." As well as improving in the league and in the postseason . · "The girls team fell short last season at the TVC Championships and I know they would love to tum that around this year. I think the bo~s can accomplish that same feat as well,' Kennedy said. "I think some of these kids will qualify for the regional meet and I certainly would not rule out the state meet as a possibility for a few of them." BY•ww.u.s BWALTERS@MYDAILYTRIBUNE.COM GIRLS The Lady Marauders tied for second in the Ohio Division with Belpre in 2006 and were just five team points behind overall runner-up and TVC Ohio winner Nelsonville- York. There are II varsity returnees and four re~ional qualifiers back this spring, but thts is still a relatively young group with 10 sophomores alone on the 20-deep roster. MHS also lost a pair of four-year letter-winners in Ashley Samar and Ashley Savage to graduation. Senior Meghan Clelland, as well as sophomores Devan Soulsby and Catie Wolfe, return to the district and TVC runner-up 800-meter relay squad. Samar was the fourth leg of that squad , as well as a two-time regional qualifier in the 300m f'i.!i1~;;;r=:;r~T=;;:;y;;;:;;:;:;;;;::;;::::;.::::;;;::::y:=;=;=;::::;;~=;=:~:=~~ RACINE - Rome wasn't built in a day, but it did become a ~ause that the area people hclieved in. The rest is well-known history. Not that Southern coach RiL·hard Cooksey is being compared to Julius Caesar in any regard , but the man that revived the track and field program in 2006 after a three-year hiatus is already witnessing a large grnup of followers for this noble cause. Like nearly four times as many. A whopping 41 participants - 30 boys and II girls .- have decided to give the oval a goaround this spring after the Tornadoes fielded a roster of II ath letes just .one year ago in their varsity return. With such an astounding turnout for year-two. Cooksey - who has also revived cross country over the last two years at SHS - can't help but be optimistic about the direction that track and field is headed in. "This looks to be a tremendous building year for us. Numbers are up, the athletes are working really hard and they are learning the art of running,'' he commented. "Our goals are to simply keep improving throughout the year." Added participation shou ld be a big boost to team scores for both genders. but numbers alone wiR not get that done. The Purple and Gold mentor is more focused on keeping a good thing going through hard work and dedication . The rest will work itself in the end. 'This is still a rebuilding year for us.

Making way for the wall IY BETH SERGENT BSERGENTOMYQellYSENTINEl.COM POMEROY - The wall is on its way. No, this has nothin~ to do with a reissue of the classtc Pink Floyd record but the retaining wall for the new Pomeroy Mason Bridge. This week motorists have no doubt noticed new equipment moving into the area in the shadow of the cliff side now shaven away. Surveyor stakes now mark where the 730-foot long wall will rest while workers prepare to erect it. "The equipment you see there now is the equipment necessary to drill shafts that serve as the basis for the retaining wall." said Stephanie Filson, public information officer for the Ohio Department of Transportation District 10. "There will be 74 shafts qrilled in all." _ The drilling began yesterday with rebar cages arriving on Tuesday which is the next piece of the puzzle in constructing the wall. The wall will range in height with the tallest point rising to 37 feet in the direction of Pomeroy. The wall will then taper downwards towards Middleport with its shortest point being five feet tall. The decorate wall will have sce nes of life on the river etched into the concrete. These scenes include the Meigs County Counhouse, children at play as well as a stern wheeler. The next major piece of equipment to arrive on the construction site is the form traveler which should arrive next month. It is a portable frame- work used to SUJ>port newly poured concrete 4uqng construction betv•een the twQ towers though it is not a permanent fixture of the bridge . The new form traveler, which will be used by work crews during construction, was redesigned when the original design failed when constructing a bridge in Puerto Rico last year. The new design has been six months in the makin~ . The arnval of the form traveler means workers can finally begin crossing the channel and bridgi ng the two towers which received their final concrete pours this month. Although there is no word on when work on the retaining wall will be completed, the completion date on the new bridge remains mid,2008 as does the cost at $60 million. TUPPERS PLAINS ~ A temporal") administrator has been appointed to run the Tuppers Plain' Regional Sewer District until a new board can be appointed. In an entry filed late last week. Comn1on Pleas Court Judge Fred W. Crow Ill appointed Kay Hayman . as temporary administrator for the district. She will handle billing. payroll and accounts payable while the district operates without a governing board. Loretta Murphy, who served as clerk , treasurer and president of the board, resigned earlier this month, citing health issues and alleged threats against her by residents in the community and an employee of a Tuppers Plains business. The other two remaining board members, Charles Calaway and Ina VanMeter have also resigned their positions. . Crow, who has authority to appoint board members under the Ohio Revised Code, would not comment on the status of the district's board or the process of seeking applicants for board positions. A legal notice seeking appl icants for board positions was placed. County Commissioner Jim Sheets said applications for board members and a permanent paid clerk will be accepted until 4 p.m. on Friday. and that a board could be in place by early next week . Sheets said at least two applications have been received from people interested in serving on the board.
