Payouts reflect the revenue generated by the three operational casinos from October to December of 2012. Both Gallia and Meigs counties will receive nearly as much in the first payout of 2013 as they did total in 2012. Gallia County is set to receive $71,712.79 according to the report published on Jan. 8. Gallia had received $27,033.93 in July and $53,957.54 in October for a total of $80,991.47 in 2012. Meigs County will receive $54,832.38 on Jan. 31. Last year, the county brought in $61,926.96 from the casino tax revenue pay- ments, $20,670.44 in July and $41,256.52 in October. Cuyahoga and Franklin counties continue to bring in the largest amounts according the report. Cuyahoga County will receive $1,470,718.82 and Franklin County will receive $1,364,78.90. Payment amounts are based on population of the county. According to census figures on the Ohio Department of Taxation website Gallia County has a population of 30,970 and Meigs County has a population of 23,680. In contrast, Cuyahoga County has a population of 1,270,294. The numbers are based on a 2011 United States Census report. The the present time payments are based on three casinos. It will be based on four casinos once the fourth one opens later this year. Casinos in both Cleveland and Toledo opened in May 2012, while the third casino opened in October in Columbus. The fourth casino to be in Cincinnati will open in the spring of 2013. Payments will also be made to school districts in Ohio on a semi-annual basis beginning on Jan. 31. The second payment will be on July 31. Payments were not made to school districts in 2012. An article on the payments being made to the local school districts will appear in the Sunday Times-Sentinel. Collected revenues accumulate See PAYOUTS ‌| 3 Hill elected president of Southern BOE Sentinel Staff Report tdsnews@civitasmedia.com Submitted photo Megan Wise, far left, came in first runner-up two consecutive years in a row at Miss Ohio. Wise, of Gallipolis, Ohio, is also a teacher at Meigs Primary School and has family ties to Mason County. Teacher nets Miss Ohio first runner-up Beth Sergent bsergent@civitasmedia.com OHIO VALLEY — The first runner-up in the Miss Ohio pageant isn’t out showing off her sash or riding in a parade (though those are all fun things to do) — she’s teaching first graders at Meigs Primary School. Megan Wise of Gallipolis, Ohio, may not have the typical day job of a beauty queen but then again, describing beauty queens, or anyone for that matter, as “typical,” is unfair. Wise came in first runner-up at Miss Ohio for two consecutive years and has placed as a Top Five finalist in the Miss Ohio competition for five years — a feat which is anything but typical. Only a small group of people have ever achieved this Top Five placement and an even smaller group have placed as a first runner-up consecutively. To many, this is a huge accomplishment, and to Wise it’s also an honor to represent the area at that level of competition. Wise has ties to not only Gallia County where she lives and Meigs County, Ohio, where she works, she also has family ties to Mason County, W.Va. She is the daughter of LaTonya and Kevin Wise of Gallipolis, the granddaughter of Sherry McBride of Gallipolis, formerly of Point Pleasant, W.Va. and the late Wayne Kincaid, Jr., who was from Point Pleasant, as well. She is also the great-granddaughter of the late Wayne and Margaret Kincaid who were also of Point Pleasant. So, when Wise says it’s an honor to represent the “area,” that area casts a wide net of people and places. As for what it’s like to be a heartbeat away from going to compete in Miss USA, twice, Wise said it was different both times. The first time she came in first runner-up, she said she didn’t know what to expect when the winner was announced. The second time she placed as first runner-up, Wise said she used her experience to step back and enjoy the moment, thinking about all the people who were there to watch and support her, including some of her students, and understood it mattered more how she reacted to the news than actually being crowned. She said that’s a skill pageantry gives people — the ability to be composed and poised no matter what circumstances. This is also a skill that comes in handy when teaching first graders. “You never know what kids are going to say to catch you off guard,” Wise joked. “You just have to smile and move forward.” Though some people might focus on the disappointment of coming so close to winning Miss Ohio, Wise does not. She said she placed first runner-up to two “amazing” people, including a Miss Ohio who went on to be second runner-up at Miss USA and who received a job offer from Donald Trump. “I feel very appreciative,” Wise said about her placement and opportunity to compete alongside 68 girls from across Ohio this year, as well as in previous years. Wise is also appreciative of the other unique opportunities pageantry has brought to her life, including $40,000 in scholarship opportunities; becoming a show model for Sherri Hill, one of the largest gown retailers in the world; appearing on a MTV “Made” episode; and nearly making it to the final cut of the reality show “America’s Next Top Model.” See TEACHER ‌| 3 RACINE — Dennie Hill was elected president of the Southern Local Board of Education during the recent organizational meeting.

Officials with Bob Evans Farms, Inc., confirmed the sale of its former transportation center in Bidwell, Ohio. The transportation facility and surrounding land was recently sold to Foster Sales & Delivery, a Gallia county-based distribution company. The announcement came Wednesday afternoon. Bob Evans announced in May it would move its trucking operations to Springfield, Ohio, to be closer to its distribution center. In November, all maintenance, repair and dispatch operations for the company transitioned to the new facility, as well as more than 60 employees. “We’re pleased that through this partnership, the transportation center site will find new use as a thriving center for jobs as the Foster organization continues to grow in Gallia County,” says Bob Evans Farms Executive Vice President of Human Resources Joe Eulberg. “We’re doubly pleased that we can use some of the proceeds to fund training programs which offer residents of southeast Ohio development opportunities in one of the country’s largest growing industries — restaurants and hospitality.” Foster told the Gallipolis Daily Tribune that he started Foster Sales & Delivery with his first truck in 1981. Since that time, he has expanded the business to 45-50 employees, mostly truck drivers who haul aluminum, steel and automotive parts all over the country. He said he currently owns approximately 10 acres and this acquisition will essentially double his usable space and will also provide adjacent land to develop in the future. The new purchase includes approximately 77 acres total. “We were pleased to work with Bob Evans Farms to obtain a new facility and space for expansion,” says Bob Foster, president of Foster Sales & Delivery. “As a fellow trustee at the University of Rio Grande (URG) with Joe Eulberg, we think that utilizing a portion of the proceeds from See HUB ‌| 3 Bob Foster, president of Foster Sales & Delivery, confirmed the purchase of the former Bob Evans Farms transportation facility located adjacent to his existing facility in Bidwell.

I’ve been going out with a cool guy for three weeks. We made the mistake of sleeping together on the first date and agreeing to date each other exclusively by the third. Now I’m realizing that I don’t really know this person, and I’d like to slow things down, but he’s all Dr. Joyce Brothers into being a couple and getSyndicated ting serious. Is it too late to Columnist start over? — F.L. Dear F.L.: I’m afraid it is too late to start over, but there are ways to put the brakes on things and step back from the situation a bit while you find out if you really are compatible. Be it love at first sight or great chemistry or whatever you want to call it, that initial attraction can be very strong and very difficult to resist once you are caught up in it. You can’t erase the mistakes of rushing into an intimate relationship too quickly, but if you are able to have a frank discussion with your boyfriend about pacing yourselves, there’s at least a chance that he will readily agree. More likely is the scenario in which he becomes upset or defensive about your growing hesitation, and thinks you are trying to dump him. Reassure him that it will be best for both of you if you slow down a bit. Logistically, you can arrange things a little differently. Talk on the phone for a while instead of going out. You’d be surprised at how much you can learn about one another after a couple of hours of just talking. Go out in a group, or meet for coffee in the morning instead of a drink at night, thus avoiding sleepovers for a while. It may not take you long at all until you are feeling less rushed and more comfortable about being together. If he refuses to cooperate, or you find that you are liking him less as you discover more about him, it will all be well worth it. *** Dear Dr. Brothers: I have had it with my boyfriend, but I can’t seem to bring myself to leave him. He puts absolutely nothing into our relationship. I’m the one who has to call him, and ask to see him, and try to seduce him. He’s nice when we are together, but he never initiates anything. I ask him if he loves me and he says yes, but he never says it unless I bring it up. We’ve been together for three months now. I try to leave him, but I always call him back the next day. What now? — A.C. Dear A.C.: It sounds as though it’s a classic case of “he’s just not that into you,” and you know it. There must be something about the way he treats you that you find appealing, or you would have followed through when you try to withdraw from this goingnowhere relationship. Perhaps you have always been chased by guys, or you tried playing hard-to-get and got tired of it. But now that the shoe is on the other foot, you’ve set yourself up as the aggressive one. Most people would not continue in such a one-sided relationship as long as you have, so taking a long look at what is keeping you interested and bringing you back might help you clarify your motivations. One thing you haven’t tried is actually leaving your boyfriend — for more than a day. You might want to try that again, only this time don’t go back. Wait and see what happens. Either he will let you go without a whimper, or you will find a new, suddenly attentive guy who doesn’t want to lose you. If the latter happens, it will give you a chance to start anew with a balance of interest that will be healthier for both of you. If he just lets you go, then you will know for sure that he wasn’t into you and isn’t worth spending any more time pursuing, and you can move on. Do everything you can to give this idea of leaving him alone a chance. That should bring clarity. (c) 2013 by King Features Syndicate Shop Locally Local stocks 2011 Chev CaptivaExt.

The Casino Tax Revenue is a result of the constitutional amendment passed in 2009 which allowed for the four casinos to be placed in Ohio. According to the Ohio Department of Taxation website, the Ohio Casino Control Commission is responsible for licensing and regulating casino operators, their employees, and gaming-related vendors. The Ohio Department of Taxation is responsible for administering the gross casino revenue tax and for ensuring compliance with all pertinent state tax laws, as well as administrative rules and policies as they apply to other taxes administered by the Department of Taxation.

(AP) — From Oregon to Mississippi, President Barack Obama’s proposed ban on new assault weapons and large-capacity magazines struck a nerve among rural lawmen and lawmakers, many of whom vowed to ignore any restrictions — and even try to stop federal officials from enforcing gun policy in their jurisdictions. “A lot of sheriffs are now standing up and saying, ‘Follow the Constitution,’” said Josephine County Sheriff Gil Gilbertson, whose territory covers the timbered mountains of southwestern Oregon. But their actual powers to defy federal law are limited. And much of the impassioned rhetoric amounts to political posturing until — and if — Congress acts. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, a Democrat, said recently it’s unlikely an assault weapons ban would actually pass the House of Representatives. Absent action by Congress, all that remains are 23 executive orders Obama announced that apply only to the federal government, not local or state law enforcement. Gun advocates have seen Obama as an enemy despite his expression of support for the interpretation of the Second Amendment as a personal right to have guns. So his call for new measures — including background checks for all gun buyers and Senate confirmation of a director of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives — triggered new vows of defiance. Payouts From Page 1 in the Ohio Casino Tax Revenue Fund are placed into seven different funds. Fifty-one percent goes into the Gross Casino Revenue County Fund; thirty-four percent into the Gross Casino Revenue County Student Fund; five-percent into the Gross Casino Revenue Host City Fund; threepercent into the Casino Control Commission Fund; three-percent into the Ohio State Racing Commission Fund; two-percent into the Law Enforcement Training The operators of each casino facility are required to file daily returns with the Department and to remit payments for the related tax liabilities every day that banks are open for business. Each return reflects casino gaming activ- ity over a 24-hour period. The tax revenue collected from the gross casino revenue tax is split among seven funds benefiting the counties and certain large cities, school districts, host cities, the Casino Control Commission, the Ohio State Racing Commission, law enforcement training, and problem gambling and addictions. Distributions to localities occur on a quarterly basis, except for school districts, which will receive their distributions semi-annually beginning Teacher From Page 1 Of course nothing worthwhile or unique is ever handed to anyone, and Wise said competing in pageants is more than showing up in a gown and winning an award. She said when she prepares for a pageant, it takes her 365 days to get ready, including dieting, working out, deciding on wardrobe and getting herself into the head space where she’s prepared to be judged. “That’s hard in itself,” Wise said. “Pageants are 99 percent mental … you mentally have to be on your game.” For this reason, Wise said she feels girls should wait until they’re a little older to get into pageantry so they can comprehend the criticism which will invariably come their way — as well as that tough interview question. As with most things in life, when it comes to that interview question, Wise said “you win some, you lose some” and advises using “spunk and personality to answer and you’ll make it through.” As for how her students responded when they found out she lost the Miss Ohio title, she said her kids thought she won. “They all thought I won because when you say you’re first runner-up, they only hear ‘first place,’” Wise laughed. Wise said she’s going to sit out a year and decide how to proceed with her career in pageants — the age limit is 26. In the meantime, she’s currently enjoying her reign as not only a first grade teacher, but Miss Heart of Ohio which she won in 2012. Hub From Page 1 this sale to benefit Gallia County and the University, as well as other educational efforts around the state, is a great tribute to company founder Bob Evans.” Foster said the newly purchased facility and land — located adjacent to his existing facility — will initially be used to park additional trucks, but he plans to expand in a way that will allow for additional employees in the future. A significant portion of the proceeds from the sale of the transportation center will go to the newly created Bob Evans Farms Foundation, which is intended to carry on the philanthropic spirit of company founder Bob Evans. Evans recognized the value of education and invested in the state’s youth through college scholarships and educational programs like 4-H, the Ohio Cattlemen’s Association and FFA. In keeping with Evans’ commitment to education, one of the first grants will be to the University of Rio Grande for scholarships in the Bob Evans Hospitality Management program. The new management training program opened at the URG in the fall of 2012 and offers accredited bachelor’s and associate degrees through the URG with the opportunity for students to work full-time for Bob Evans. “The program provides students with a great foundation in an industry that continues to hire and grow despite the lagging economy,” says Eulberg. “It also creates a solid pipeline of management candidates for Bob Evans Farms.” The hospitality industry, and restaurants in particular, has been a steady source of jobs in a struggling economy, generating $16 billion in sales for the state, and providing approximately 530,000 jobs, according to the Ohio Restaurant Association. Fire From Page 1 area when a 75-foot tall fiberglass tank caught on fire. Why or how the tank ignited is still being investigated. However, Matheney said the tank was empty, and therefore no hazardous chemicals were involved or released. No one appeared to be hurt in the incident, though the fire sent heavy, black smoke into the air which Matheney said is common when fiberglass burns. Because the fire started in an area of the plant that wasn’t being used, the fire will not affect daily operations. AEP’s Mountaineer Plant has its own fire crew on site which helped extinguish the blaze along with firefighters from the Mason and New Haven fire departments. Matheney said the plant has an emergency fire plan for situations such as the one that occurred Wednesday evening. 60384736 �The Daily Sentinel Faith and Family Page 4 Friday, January 18, 2013 Regardless of image, He is still Lord Given that prove of.

Remember only the good one does after how just a few short weeks becoming a Christian that ago we were all kinds of hapGod will recognize and ap- py because it was Christmas? Of course you do! How could you not, now that you’ve been getting those many bills reminding you Christmas isn’t cheap? Here at Trinity Church, much to our chagrin, we’ve learned the hard way that not everyone appreciates the true “reason for the season.” The evidence speaks for itself: someone made off with the Baby Jesus from our crèche, which for many years has been situated in the main gazebo down by the river. We recovered nothing other than the light, which otherwise was inside this figurine to illuminate it. Why do you suppose somebody did that? A prank it surely was. Others here have come to think of it as a “copy cat” act, which makes a lot of sense since early on this past Christmas season someone established the precedent over across the river. However, is it possible … is it reasonable to assume there might be more to it? After all, by now we’re all aware of the scenario playing itself out in Jackson, where outside forces have intruded to demand the school district there remove a picture of Jesus. With their home base being somewhere in Minnesota, this “Freedom From Religion” organization seems to be of the mind-set the removal of that picture — based on the separation of church and state — will effectively enable the student body to experience a more neutral, objective and productive environment. Oh, really? Out of sight, out of mind perhaps? Come now! Are such people so naïve and simple-minded as to imagine the absence of any figure of the infant Jesus, and/or no visible image of the grown Jesus is somehow a positive and virtuous accomplishment on their part? If this should be their “claim-to-fame,” I pity them. If our missing “Baby Jesus” ended up in some landfill, or is sailing down the Ohio and on into the Mississippi — so be it; somewhere we’ll locate a suitable replacement. Icons come, and icons go. God knows, many older churches are full of them, with some being more prominent and useful than others. Generally, what’s gifted to churches is very nice, and useful, too; still, there are exceptions for which a dumpster makes a far better depository! As for that picture of Jesus, is it a true depiction of Him? Or, a reasonable facsimile thereof? I don’t know, can’t say — any more than you, since neither of us has seen Christ. This, then, is something we have in common with those wanting to purge Him from their lives and our schools, from all other public venues, too. I don’t expect they’ll succeed, but whatever images ever may be done away with Jesus still will be Lord, will prevail, and to Him we’ll all give account when His day comes. That’s one playing field He’s already leveled! As those freed from sin and free to live for God, let us — and to God be all the glory.

And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and will take you to Myself, that where I am you may be also” (John 14:1-3 ESV). I thank God for the “letters” that He sends to me everyday as we visit each other in the reading of His Word. I thank Him also for the “letters” that He sends out into the world, appealing to those who have not yet given to Him their hearts. Christians (men, women, and children who have turned from sin and self and through faith in Him have received Jesus) become such “letters” as they choose to give God room to lead them. They truly become “handwritten notes”, signed with the signature of God Himself as He reveals His goodness through them. “… You are a letter from Christ… written not with ink but with the Spirit of the living God, not on tablets of stone but on tablets of human hearts” (2 Corinthians 3:3 ESV). Just think! Through your life, God Himself can send messages of love, affirmation, hope, and peace. His promises from His Word can reach the people of the world as you permit yourself to be led and shaped by them! The best sermon that anyone could preach then is not merely spoken by the mouth but is articulated through everyday living. The little choices that we make, the little attitudes that we adopt or tolerate within ourselves, and the little deeds that we do to give God glory, all suddenly have a great deal of power and importance and aid us in those things that we don’t consider “little” but deem as significant or meaningful. They tell the story of how God is so important to us that we would desire for Him to exert His lordship over ALL facets of our lives. In the same way, the best articles that are written are not written with pen from ink but in our learning to deny self and to instead identify with Christ as we make our number one priority the exaltation of Jesus in all that we say, all that we do, and all that we are. The page of every day of our lives has the potential for telling anew the good news that only can be found in the incredible and beautiful story of Jesus’ love, His death and resurrection being the only answer to life’s problems and the world’s woes. “Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom. And we all, with unveiled face, beholding the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from one degree of glory to another. For this comes from the Lord Who is the Spirit. Therefore, having this ministry by the mercy of God, we do not lose heart…. In their case the god of this world has blinded the minds of the unbelievers, to keep them from seeing the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, Who is the image of God. For what we proclaim is not ourselves, but Jesus Christ as Lord, with ourselves as your servants for Jesus’ sake. For God, Who said, ‘Let light shine out of darkness,’ has shone in our hearts to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ” (2 Corinthians 3:17-18, 4:1, 4-6 ESV). What story does your life tell? What kind of “love letter” from the Lord is your character, your courage, and your compassion? Will you choose to respond to God’s love with trusting obedience and compassion towards those who have never personally entered into His loving mercy? How will Who God is affect how you live your life this day? May it be a day of new beginnings as you seek to decrease that He may increase through you (see John 3:30).

As believers in Messiah Jesus, we can not afford to live anxiously, fearful, or doubtful about God’s care for us. Difficult days are upon us and will continue to become difficult to live “joyfully” in our society, unless Christ lives and rules in our hearts and lives. In other words, unless Jesus is not only savior, but also Lord (which means, owner and ruler) then anxiety, fear, doubt and anger will be the agenda of the day. There will be enough done via all sorts of avenues to get Godloving, family-caring and country-loyal people to want to be angry, get even, retaliate, hold bitterness, or what-have-you, but it is vitally important to recognize Christ the forgiver, lover, and redeemer living inside of us. Without the power of God in our lives, we are destined to live anxiously, fearfully and doubtful. But with Christ in our lives, allowing Him to rule every area of our lives, forgiving all the time, loving all the time, sharing all the time, then victory is His promise and our right (according to scripture). As Jesus reminded us to seek the Kingdom of God and His righteousness, then everything else that we need to live on will be added to us. By believing the Word of God, we are able to study it, understanding it and apply it. Information of the scriptures is not enough. I can have several degrees in theology, with the most amount of information every given to one man, but if the revelation (or truth to implement the knowl- edge obtained) is not part of the study, then all I have is information. Information does not change hearts. Information changes the brain, which eventually can change a method. But revelation changes the heart, which will then change behavioral patterns, spiritual eyesight, hearing and walking. Thus, revelation will eventually change one’s destiny. In other words, do not be anxious about today or tomorrow, but seek God’s kingdom and his ways of doing things, (living, believing, holiness, etc) without fear, doubt or anxiety, and whatever you need, and even desire in your heart will be supplied to you. Make it a great day! The time for hope As the new year has progressed, we find an America that continues to be divided. We find people who are fed up, oppressed, despaired and disenfranchised. Carrie Wolfe Social media such as Facebook have daily doses for hope. of quotes, memes and rants. Emotions run high, especially related to politics. We have a country that seems to be more divided than unified. We need hope. This is a great time Not the kind of hope a person can bring, but the kind that has more of an eternal vestage. We can see this hope when men and women put aside their politics and act as followers of the Lord Jesus Christ. We do not need large spectacles. We need real servants of the Living God. We need to remember that while we hold something is a sin, our neighbor may not. We can not hope to begin to speak to their hearts if we are too busy judging them. In other words, the Church needs to be the Church. We need to be the ones that speak words of peace and hope. Our actions need to be those that bring healing. We can throw all the scripture at people we want to and the only thing it will do is harden hearts. If we are quoting scriptures on Monday and cursing people on Saturday night, what kind of weight do you think those words carry? Governments come and go. They will rise and fall, but the Lord God Almighty endures forever. Remember that while we may be citizens of a country on this earth, the ultimate goal is to be a citizen of the eternal with Christ. You see, we have all the hope. We have to share it. We are not to run around panicked like chickens with our heads cut off. If we are truly serving God, then we know. We do not have to worry. We just have to trust in the Lord. When we realize that, we can bring hope to others. We can be those shining lights. Consider your words. Consider your actions and decide if you are truly on the path to live a life of Grace Out Loud! �Friday, January 18, 2013 www.mydailysentinel.com The Daily Sentinel • Page 5 Meigs County Church Directory Fellowship Apostolic Church of Jesus Christ Apostolic Van Zandt and Ward Road.

Freshman Georges Niang hit a wide-open layup with 2.5 seconds left off a brilliant feed from Will Clyburn and Iowa State beat West Virginia 69-67 Wednesday night. Melvin Ejim had 16 points and 13 rebounds for the Cyclones (12-4, 2-1 Big 12), who survived an unexpectedly wild finish for their second straight win. “”I thought he made a heck of a play to find Georges in there all by himself,” Iowa State coach Fred Hoiberg said of Clyburn, whose only assist of the night was the biggest one of the season for the Cyclones. “I was pretty confident. Georges is as good of a finisher as we have on the team.” Iowa State opened the second half with an 18-4 run and led by as much as 56-38. That’s when it all started to fall apart. The Mountaineers (8-8, 1-3), who had missed their first 12 3-point tries, hit nine of their last 12. Jabarie Hinds capped the stunning hot streak with a 3 to tie it 67-all with 11.6 seconds left. But Clyburn spun from two defenders and found Niang for what was essentially an uncontested game- winner underneath the basket. “They caught a rhythm, and they made tough shots,” Hoiberg said. “They hit from 25, 26 feet with a hand in their face. If they hit those shots, you shake their hand. I’m thankful we got this win.” Hinds had 20 points for West Virginia. Juwan Staten, the Mountaineers second-leading scorer, had seven points and seven assists after being benched by coach Bob Huggins for the previous three halves. “I thought he was very good,” West Virginia coach Bob Huggins said of Staten. The same couldn’t be said for many of Staten’s team- mates for much of the game. The Mountaineers kept it close for a while because of their defense. But couldn’t do much of anything on offense until the final minutes. And then they did nearly everything — until the final few seconds. Still, Huggins promised a change to a smaller lineup after the game after seeing his team dominated for much of the night. “We’re going to have to play small. This is a different league than what we were in. It’s officiated differently. The style of play is different. We’re going to have to change,” West Virginia coach Bob Huggins said. “I mean, how can it be worse? We’re 1-3.” West Virginia’s physical defense gave Iowa State trouble in the first half. The Cyclones had just four shots inside of 20 feet — including a pair of spectacular dunks by Clyburn — but they hit enough 3s, six, for a 29-26 lead. Ejim steadied Iowa State’s offense with a pair of inside scores, and Clyburn followed West Virginia’s 12th-straight missed 3 with a three-point play to make it 40-28 with 15:56 to go. The way the Mountaineers were shooting, it felt like an insurmountable advantage.

Gary Coronado | Palm Beach Post | MCT photo Miami Heat small forward LeBron James (6) pumps his fist after making a free throw late in the fourth quarter against the Oklahoma City Thunder in Game 3 of the NBA Finals at the AmericanAirlines Arena in Miami, Florida on Sunday, June 17, 2012. Lady Marauders fall to Belpre, 57-42 James piling up milestones at historic pace Alex Hawley ROCKSPRINGS, Ohio — A fast start by the Lady Golden Eagles hands Meigs its fourth consecutive loss. Belpre out scored the Lady Marauders by 15 points in the first half en rout to a non-league 57-42 in Larry R. Morrison gymnasium. The Lady Eagles (10-5) hit a trio of three-pointers in the opening period on their way to a 16-to-7 run. Belpre hit three more triples in the second quarter and led 35-20 at the half. After halftime BHS out scored the Lady Marauders (312) by three points to expand the lead to 18 points. Meigs went on a 15-to-12 run over the final eight minutes but BHS held on for a 15 point victory. Delilah Fish led the Lady Marauders with 11 points, followed by Mercadies George with nine points and Tess Phelps with seven. Hannah Cremeans marked five points, Ally Maxson notched three points, while Kirsten McGuire, Kelsey Hudson and Morgan Russell each added two points. Meigs pulled down 33 rebounds as a team led by George with nine. Fish and Phelps each grabbed seven rebounds on the night. Phelps led MHS with four steals, followed by Maxson and Fish with three each. Kelsey Hudson finished with a team-high three assists. The Lady Marauders shot 17-of-54 (31.5 percent) and 8-of-19 (42.1 percent) from the charity stripe. MHS was unsuccessful on three attempts from beyond the arc. Meigs committed 18 turnovers in the game. Belpre was paced by Sierra Barker with 24 points on the night, followed by Katelyn Hughes and Emily Hughes with 10 points each. Audrea Linton had nine points in the game, while Rachel Packard and Hannah Lawrentz each finished with two points. The Lady Marauders will have one more shot at the Lady Eagles this season, on February 6th in Belpre.

(AP) — LeBron James has reached so many milestones in his NBA career it might be easy to lose track. He hasn’t. Just a point shy of becoming the youngest player in league history to score 20,000 points, James knew exactly where he stood Wednesday night. He worked a switch off Draymond Green on the wing, dribbled past David Lee and pulled up in the lane from 12 feet to make an off-balance jumper with 2:45 remaining in the second quarter. Swish. “The best part about it is I was in a rhythm, too, so it wasn’t one of those forced shots,” James said. “I was able to get the switch on David Lee and get to the elbow and make a shot. It’s pretty cool.” On a road trip that has had more bad news than good, James rewrote the headlines and the record books again. The three-time NBA MVP also surpassed 5,000 assists on a landmark night, leading the Miami Heat to a 92-75 victory over the undermanned Golden State Warriors. He finished with 25 points, 10 assists and seven rebounds in just 30 minutes to grab his latest slice of history. In the locker room after the game, Heat coach Erik Spoelstra and team president Pat Riley took a moment give James the game ball and recognize his latest record. Players shouted and huddled in the center of the room. Then, as Spoelstra said, “Everybody took a shot at him — a punch, a jab, an elbow, whatever they could get in before he started hitting back.” “That’s a big-time moment,” Spoelstra said. “He’s a special guy. He’s a special player. He’s a oncein-a-generational type of player.” James eclipsed both marks before halftime, helped Miami go ahead by 34 points in the third quarter and allowed Spoelstra to rest his starters — without debate this time — for the fourth. Dwyane Wade added 15 points, eight rebounds and six assists and Mario Chalmers scored 15 for the Heat, who had lost three of their last four away from home. James already had been the youngest player in NBA history to win rookie of the year, record a triple-double, score 1,000 points, score 10,000 points and win MVP honors at an All-Star game. Add another to the list. “It means everything,” James said. “It means a lot. First of all, like I continue to say, it means I’ve been able to be healthy. To be out on the floor and do what I love to do, I love the game of basketball and I try to give everything to the game. And hopefully it continues to give back to me.” David Lee had 12 points and 11 rebounds and Jarrett Jack scored 16 in place of Stephen Curry, who sprained his twice surgically repaired right ankle during Golden State’s morning practice. The team said X-rays were negative, and Warriors coach Mark Jackson said he doesn’t expect Curry to be out long. The Warriors, who upset the Heat 97-95 in Miami on Dec. 12, lost consecutive games for only the third time this season. With center Andrew Bogut already out indefinitely recovering from left ankle surgery, Curry’s absence turned out to be too much to overcome against the defending NBA champions. “Disappointing, but we faced a team that remembered what took place in South Beach and came with a mindset to make a point, individually and collectively,” Jackson said. “That’s what great players do.” James and Wade just overwhelmed the Warriors from the start. Wade lobbed an alley-oop from half court that James finished with two hands early in the first quarter. James hit Wade slicing down See JAMES ‌| 10 NHL teams with familiar faces hope to get jump NEW YORK (AP) — The 48-game sprint of a hockey season hasn’t even started, and NHL players are already winded. There is very little in terms of a blueprint on how to prep for a lockout-shortened season that will be crammed into just 99 days after less than a week of training camp. But ready or not, the puck will drop on Saturday and there is a small margin of error as every game now carries extra weight. “It’s not a grind. We want this,” said Columbus Blue Jackets president of hockey operations John Davidson, a former NHL goalie. “We’ve been waiting months for this, to have this puck drop and hear the skates, bodies banging, and guys with lots of energy. “Coaches have had months and months and months to get ready. It’s all good.” Teams aren’t flying completely blind because this is the second time a long NHL lockout forced a season to be cut from 82 games to 48 per team. Back in 1995, the New Jersey Devils and Detroit Red Wings made the most of their opportunities and reached the Stanley Cup finals. “It feels like we just came out of an All-Star break or something like that. We’ve got the same team,” Phoenix Coyotes coach Dave Tippett said. “The guys understand what we’re trying to do. We don’t have to put a lot of time explaining terms or what we’re going to do.” The Pittsburgh Penguins are trying to tap into the past to get a leg up now. Player development coach Bill Guerin was a member of those 1995 Devils, who got into the playoffs as the No. 5 seed in the Eastern Conference and rode the wave to a sweep of the Red Wings in the finals. “They didn’t start well. They were starting under .500 their first segment,” Penguins coach Dan Bylsma said. “They were a team that did have a lot of veteran experience, and we’ve talked to Billy about his experience, and how the team came back, and how they rotated players in and out of the lineup, how the goalie was played, what the talk in training camp was.” History suggests clubs that rush into this season without having to rely on nametags might already have an edge. “We can look at that as a positive for sure,” Penguins captain Sidney See NHL ‌| 8 �Friday, January 18, 2013 EMPLOYMENT SERVICE / BUSINESS DIRECTORY MARCUM CONSTRUCTION Commercial & Residential Interior Exterior We Now Offer Single Axle Dump Truck Service 740-985-4141 • 740-416-1834 Call Us Today!

Though the Mountaineers got back one of their best players in Staten, one of their most promising youngsters didn’t even make the trip to Ames. Freshman Terry Henderson, who started the last eight games and averaged 11 points in his last three, stayed back in West Virginia because of a back injury. That might not sound like a ton of points to lose — until you consider that no Mountaineer entered play with more than 10.6 points an outing. Eron Harris chipped in with 17 points for West Virginia, including four 3s in the second half. “They caught a rhythm, and they made tough shots,” Hoiberg said. “They hit from 25, 26 feet with a hand in their face. If they hit those shots, you shake their hand. I’m thankful we got this win.” Iowa State guard Bubu Palo, who was reinstated to the team on Monday after a sexual abuse charge against him was dropped by prosecutors, sat on the bench but wasn’t in uniform. Palo was suspended from the team in September after being charged with sexually abusing a woman in May. But the Story County Attorney’s Office said Monday that forensic evidence clashed with sworn testimony provided by the woman and her mother. Palo said Wednesday that he expects to be back in time for next week’s game at Texas Tech. NHL From Page 6 Crosby said. “Guys understand their roles and what they need to do, and there’s trust there. Maybe with some newer guys you have to develop that a little bit more, but I would say it can’t hurt. It certainly helps a little bit to have that familiarity.” The Buffalo Sabres are in a similar position. Even though they failed to reach the playoffs last season, they are returning a core of players that surged to a 15-5-4 finish that left them just short of a postseason spot. Only Brad Boyes isn’t back with this crew of hungry Sabres. Buffalo coach Lindy Ruff doesn’t have to teach his system, so his focus this week has been on conditioning and getting his club ready to jump into game action. “We’re going to concentrate on trying to ramp up tuning the body and getting ready for a real hard compete,” he said. Ruff, who has been behind the Sabres bench since 1997, can harken back to his own experience as an assistant coach in 1995 with the Florida Panthers. “I remember going into it, you just thought every game meant so much,” Ruff said. “I think what you have to really be careful of is not putting too much into the wins, and not putting too much into the losses. “Try to keep a pretty level ground.” That is an easy philosophy to adopt now, but it is one that can quickly change after a club’s first three-game losing streak. “Every game is like a playoff game,” said Devils president and general manager Lou Lamoriello, who has held those posts since 1987. “The game is different today than it was in 1995. It’s going to be extremely interesting.” Training camps opened last Sunday, and with only six or seven days before each team was set to begin the regular-season schedule, there was no time for any exhibition games. Some clubs held scrimmages within their rosters or brought in a minor league affiliate to play against just to create some type of game atmosphere. Teams that have multiple players on their rosters who went to Europe to play during the long lockout might have an extra step against clubs whose players remained home. “For me not playing, I’m definitely a little winded out there, even after a quick burst up and down the ice,” Philadelphia Flyers forward Scott Hartnell said. “You can definitely feel the lungs burning a little bit. I haven’t really talked to many of the guys who have played, but they’re not bending over their stick and things like that. “Definitely the first cou- ple of weeks you want to keep the shifts short, not get extended, not do something at the end of a shift so that you’re going to get caught out there.” The Minnesota Wild have quite a new look to their team and have been waiting months to show off new high-priced acquisitions Zach Parise up front and Ryan Suter on defense. With talent like that, the Wild certainly aren’t too concerned about getting their new stars comfortable on the ice. “I think there will be a sense of urgency, definitely,” said Suter, who along with Parise signed a 13-year, $98 million deals early in free agency last July. “A shortened schedule, guys know we have to be going from Day 1. In the past, you could get away with having a little slump. But now with the shortened schedule you’re not going to be able to.” That is why the San Miscellaneous Miscellaneous Jose Sharks are confident their slightly altered team will be able to thrive right from the get-go and start to erase the memory of a first-round playoff loss to St. Louis last season. “We just have to go over a little review,” Sharks captain Joe Thornton said. “There is not too many new faces in here. We know what’s expected of us. We know what kind of game we’re supposed to play. We just have to execute it. Hopefully not having too many new faces will help us.” Sharks coach Todd McLellan is not only relying on team chemistry, he is even keeping line trios together. Look for Thornton to join Patrick Marleau and Joe Pavelski on the top line, and Logan Couture, Martin Havlat and Ryane Clowe to make up line No. 2. “We’d like to see some new combinations and we’d like to try some, but right now we’re going to go with some familiar faces,” McLellan said. “The understanding of how each player reacts in a certain situation allows them to maybe play faster and quicker. We’ll go that route to start. I don’t know if that will stay that way.” Perhaps until that first two- or three-game losing streak. “You look at how tight it is in an 82-game schedule at the end of the year, there is not very many points separating fifth from 12th,” Wild forward Kyle Brodziak said. “I think everyone imagines it’s going to be that much tighter this year. Everyone expects that. “It’s going to be a battle every single night, and more often than we’re used to. So it’s good. The coaches have a plan, and that’s their job. We already know they do, and I’m sure they have a good one. “We just have to be ready to go to be a part of it.” �Friday, January 18, 2013 The Daily Sentinel • Page 9 www.mydailysentinel.com Friday, January 18, 2013 COMICS/ENTERTAINMENT BLONDIE Dean Young/Denis Lebrun BEETLE BAILEY FUNKY WINKERBEAN HAGAR THE HORRIBLE HI & LOIS Mort Walker Today’s Answers Tom Batiuk Chris Browne Brian and Greg Walker THE LOCKHORNS MUTTS William Hoest Patrick McDonnell Jacquelene Bigar’s HOROSCOPE ZITS THE FAMILY CIRCUS Bil Keane DENNIS THE MENACE Hank Ketchum Jerry Scott and Jim Borgman CONCEPTIS SUDOKU by Dave Green HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Friday, Jan. 18, 2013: This year you discover the importance of sharing your decision-making process with others. When you withhold this information, people don’t understand where you are coming from. If you want support, you should open up more. If you are single, you could meet someone quite desirable after June. You might even have a choice of two people. Follow your intuition, and you will choose correctly. If you are attached, your openness creates a new avenue of communication, which your partner appreciates. TAURUS is as grounded as you are. The Stars Show the Kind of Day You’ll Have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult ARIES (March 21-April 19) HHHH You are energized, partially because of the weekend. Sort out a misunderstanding, and you will walk away feeling energized. A higher-up, parent or older friend seems to test your limits. By late afternoon, the situation seems to dissolve, as if by magic. Tonight: Your treat. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHH You could have a lot going on in your life that you are choosing to keep to yourself. Others might have strong reactions and assume that your distancing yourself has to do with them. Make an effort to reach out to others. You will feel better if you do. Tonight: Go for what you want. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHH Finish up last-minute details today. You might choose to network and reach out to your contemporaries. A statement could be misunderstood. Do not make more of it than need be. Use the daylight hours to the max; deal with a personal matter later. Tonight: Play it low-key. CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHH Others notice your willingness to accept responsibility. Do not deal with any more demands right now, even if it makes for a rough moment when you say “no.” Focus on your immediate circle, a meeting and the desire to expand your horizons. Tonight: Join friends. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHH Make an effort to get past a strongly held opinion that recent evidence has indicated could be off. You might be confused or not as sure of yourself as you’d like to be. Question more and judge less. You’ll take a leadership role later in the afternoon. Tonight: A force to be dealt with. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHHH Keep reaching out to someone you care about. You might wonder exactly why you can’t seem to communicate effectively with anyone. Try to verbalize more of your thoughts. Avoid commitments until later, when you become much clearer. Tonight: Follow the music. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHHH Be responsive, but if something does not make sense to you, let others know. Though you might nod your head, which makes others think you agree, it doesn’t mean that your discerning mind isn’t also listening. A partner becomes very stubborn. Tonight: Chat over dinner. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHH You get a lot done, and quite quickly at that. You see life from a different perspective, which lets you see a friend’s shortcomings. How you help this person out of a jam makes a big difference. He or she might need to hear your thoughts. Tonight: Sort through invitations. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHHH Allow more spontaneity in by letting your imagination take the lead. You could find yourself dealing with a misunderstanding. Though people could get huffy — and that includes you — what was said was not meant the way it is being taken. Tonight: Make good choices. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHH You might want to stay close to home, and if you can, do so. You’ll discover that someone might have misunderstood you. Try to clear up this miscommunication sooner rather than later. Visualize more of what you want; you’ll be able to act on it soon. Tonight: Paint the town red. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHHH You might want to approach a situation differently from how you have in the past. It might be a stretch to push away from habits and act in a more appropriate manner. Your instincts lead you in a money decision. Be wise; follow them. Tonight: Let the action be at your place. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHH Examine what is happening with your finances. Are you undercutting yourself? Your self-worth could be an issue. Root out any issue that is preventing you from achieving what you desire. Make a phone call, and reach out to a key friend. Tonight: You do not have to go far.

The Big Blacks finished the competition with each participating swim- mer breaking at least one school record. Tabi Dean broke the school records in both the 100-yard freestyle and the 200-yard freestyle, while Jaycee Beaver broke the school records in the 50yard freestyle and the 100yard breastroke. Darrell McBeath broke the school record for the 200-yard individual medley. He and Zach Carry, a record breaker for the 100-yard breastroke, both placed in the 200 yard individual medley. Anthony Brown broke the school record for the 50 yard freestyle. Other schools competing in the event were Weir, Doddridge County, Spring Valley, John Marshall, Wheeling Park, Wwhs, and host Parkersburg South. RVHS swim team fares well at Tiger Invite Staff Report WORTHINGTON, Ohio — The River Valley swim team had another promising outing Saturday at the 2013 Pickerington Central Tiger Invitational held at the Thomas Worthington High School Natatorium in Franklin County. Trenton Wolfe was the leading scorer for the Raiders with 20 points for a victory in the 200 Freestyle and another 16 points in a third-place effort in the 100 freestyle. With his first place finish, Trenton still holds the meet record in that event. The boys 200 Medley Relay landed another 18 points for RVHS while the boys 200 Free Relay scored 24. Other swimmers to earn points were Alicia Ferrell (200 IM, 1 point), Chase Nance (200 IM, 3 pts.), Ben Ball (500 Free, 3 pts.), and Blade Eblin (100 Backstroke, 2 pts.). Savannah Forgey, Olivia Walker, James Jackson, Kyle Randolph, and Dean Lollathin also competed for River Valley. The following swimmers made significant drops and got their personal best times: Ben Ball dropped a whopping 12.85 seconds off his 500 Freestyle time, Chase Nance shaved 6.77 seconds off his 200 IM mark, Blade Eblin took 4.77 seconds off his 100 Back, and Savannah Forgey knocked off 2.99 seconds from her 100 Breast time. poses new challenge FLOWERY BRANCH, Ga. (AP) — Michael Turner’s trademark highpitched laugh filled the Falcons’ locker room. Asked about San Francisco quarterback Colin Kaepernick, Turner grinned Thursday and said “I’m glad I’m not on defense.” Turner, the big running back, and the Falcons’ offense want to hold the ball and limit Kaepernick’s time on the field in Sunday’s NFC championship game. The Falcons have seen enough in Kaepernick’s eight starts to respect the versatile quarterback with the long stride and strong right arm. Kaepernick comes to Atlanta after running for 181 yards — an NFL record for a quarterback — with two touchdowns in last week’s win over Green Bay. Kaepernick also threw for 263 yards with two touchdowns. He became only the third quarterback, after Otto Graham and Jay Cutler, to run and throw for at least two touchdowns in a postseason game. It’s little wonder the Falcons are impressed, even after facing such other dual-threat quarterbacks as Robert Griffin III, Cam Newton and Russell Wilson this season. Linebacker Sean Weatherspoon says the 6-foot-4, 230-pound Kaepernick is unique. “I think he’s just a different guy altogether,” Weatherspoon said. “He’s a taller guy, obviously. He broke the record last week, so that makes him special and different. I think he has a lot more speed. Russell is more of a quick guy. Colin is a faster guy.” Wilson and Griffin are scramblers. Kaepernick looks more like a 200-meter sprinter with his unusually long stride. “That’s the thing,” Weatherspoon said. “You look at him and you think long striders are not fast, but then you look and he’s covering a lot of ground and passing a lot of people. You can tell he can run. Speed won’t be a surprise to us. We’ve watched the tape. We’ll be ready to go.” The 49ers don’t have to be told they’ll bring an unusually gifted quarterback to the Georgia Dome. In only half of a season, Kaepernick has given the San Francisco offense a facelift. “He’s super-fast, athletic and he can throw the ball,” said 49ers running back LaMichael James. “Once he breaks the pocket he’s always looking downfield. He’s looking to throw the ball more than run the ball. But once he takes off, he’s faster than a lot of running backs and linebackers. He’s an incredible athlete.” Kaepernick has avoided the big hits that have made it difficult for such other running quarterbacks as Griffin and Michael Vick to avoid injuries. He said his strategy is “Run where they’re not.” James dan (29 years, 326 days) reached the latest milestone before turning 30. James also is the 13th player with 20,000 points and 5,000 assists. The only active players to reach both marks are Bryant and Boston’s Kevin Garnett. With the long-awaited record out of the way, James and Wade switched roles and opened the second half almost the same way they began the first. Wade tossed an alley- oop just inside half court to James while two Warriors defenders watched the three-time NBA MVP soar for the slam, part of a scintillating 26-6 surge filled with highlights to open the third quarter and put the Heat ahead 78-44. In a 104-97 loss at Utah on Monday, Spoelstra sat Wade and played Chris Bosh for just 40 seconds in the fourth quarter in a decision that had been critiqued and questioned for the past two days by fans and national media. The Heat sliced a 19-point deficit to two without both before falling short. This time, the Big Three watched the final 12 minutes smiling from the bench. “Hopefully,” Spoelstra said, “we can put to rest everything that happened the other night.” NOTES: In terms of games played, James is the seventh-fastest to join the 20,000 club. Wednesday was his 726th regularseason game. Chamberlain needed only 499 games to score 20,000 points. … The Warriors are 13-3 against the Eastern Conference this season. The two other losses came against Orlando. … Heat backup F Shane Battier returned after missing two games with a hamstring injury. He had two rebounds and finished 0 for 3 from 3-point range in 10 minutes.

James, who made 11 of 20 shots from the floor, needed 18 points entering the game to become the 38th NBA player to reach the milestone. Previously, the young- est player to score 20,000 points was Lakers star Kobe Bryant, who got there when he was 29 years, 122 days old. James was 28 years, 17 days on Wednesday. “He probably would’ve had it sooner if he didn’t decide to come down here to South Beach,” Wade said. “It’s just a testament to him as a player.” Only Bryant, Wilt Chamberlain (29 years, 134 days) and Michael Jor- 60385645 From Page 6 � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
