Paxton, Sr., 89 Hobson Bridge named in honor of William Childs Sarah Hawley shawley@civitasmedia.com POMEROY — The Meigs County Commissioners approved a resolution to name the Hobson Bridge at the entrance to Middleport for the late William D. Childs. During Thursday’s meeting Childs’ son, Mick, spoke about his father and the naming of the bridge. William Childs was a former Middleport Council member and served on the planning committee. He passed away in October 2012. The commissioners unanimously approved the resolution to name the bridge in his honor. The resolution by the commissioners reads: Whereas, William D. Childs suggested to his son Mick Childs while Mick was serving on Middleport Council, that a new bridge be built to replace the existing bridge at Hobson; and Whereas, William Childs’ suggestion eventually led to the Meigs County Highway Department, under Engineer Robert Eason’s direction, getting a grant and building the new bridge; Whereas, William D. Childs was always a leading citizen in Meigs County, using his talents and serving in many capacities to make the community a better place; Now, therefore, be it resolved, that the Hobson Bridge be hereby named the William D. Childs Bridge. Middleport Village Council approved naming the bridge over Leading Creek in lower Middleport in honor of Childs, a former Middleport Council member during a meeting late last year. The bridge is owned by Meigs County and also required approval from the commissioners. Meigs County Engineer Eugene Triplett had two signs constructed to be placed at the bridge. In other business, Sheriff Keith Wood spoke to the commissioners about needed repairs at the jail. Wood is to get estimates on the work to be completed. Minutes of last week’s meeting and the bills were approved. Present at the meeting were commissioners Tim Ihle, Michael Bartrum, and Randy Smith, clerk Gloria Kloes, William Childs’ children Mick Childs and Shelia Harris, Triplett and Del Pullins.

Heritage Trail signs ready to be set Charlene Hoeflich choeflich@civitasmedia.com POMEROY — The interpretive and directional signs to mark the John Hunt Morgan Heritage Trail across Meigs County have arrived and will be erected over the next few weeks by Meigs County Engineer Eugene Triplett’s crew at the county highway garage. The goal of the Ohio Civil War Trail Commission, according to Edd Sharp, chairman, is to have the all the trail markers throughout 20 counties across the southern part of Ohio in place by May 30 — just in time for Meigs County’s commemorative events of the Civil War sesquicentennial. As for Meigs County, the first of the interpretive signs was placed in the kiosk at the Buffington Island Memorial Park last summer. The remaining 10 interpretive markers, each 36 by 24 inches displayed in a metal case, will be erected at locations of significance to Morgan’s move through the county. Each of the large markers tells the story of Morgan’s Raid through Meigs County. The sign locations are Salisbury Township, Rock Springs, Chester, Bashan, Portland, Old Portland Each of the Heritage Trail signs tell a story of General John Hunt Morgan and his troops raid in Meigs County. Road, Dry Run, North End Valley, Long Bottom and Reedsville. In addition, 81 small directional signs will be placed along the path followed by Morgan and his militia of about 2,000 cavalrymen as they moved toward Buffington Island where they planned to cross the Ohio River into territory more friendly to the Confederacy. A dedication of the trail has been planned by the Heritage Trail Commission and the Ohio Historical Society for July 20 at the Buffington Island Memorial Park in Portland in conjunction with other events taking place that day. It is that July weekend that the sesquicentennial of the only Civil War battle fought on Ohio soil will be commemorated with battle reenactments, wartime lifestyle demonstrations and a memorial service for those who were killed in the Battle of Buffington Island. Holzer Hospice plans for bereavement camp Staff Report GDTnews@civitasmedia.com OHIO VALLEY — Holzer Hospice is planning for its fourth annual Camp Beaver, which is a bereavement camp for children who have suffered a loss. The two-day camp will be held on Friday, July 19 and Saturday, July 20 at the Ohio Valley Christian Assembly Camp, 39560 Rocksprings Road, Pomeroy, Ohio. The camp provides an environment where children, ages 6 to 17, are able to come together with other individuals who have experienced a loss in their life. It gives them a place where they are free to express their feelings. The activities that are held during the camp are designed to generate thought and enhance discussion about campers’ emotions in a non-threatening manner. Camp Beaver was started after Sharon Shull, RN, MSN, director of Hospice, experienced a loss and observed her granddaughter grieving through it. “It only made sense to see the need that we could provide locally to our children and have Hospice sponsor it,” Shull said. The camp is provided at no cost to participants and is fully funded through grant dollars and generous contributions from local businesses and community members. Volunteers who help facilitate the camp and the activities include registered nurses, social workers, chaplains, counselors and adult/teen volunteers. According to national statistics, childhood bereavement is far more common than many realize. One in nine children lose a parent, friend, sibling or pet before the age of 20. The loss can also be through divorce or other circumstances. Holzer Hospice was developed in 1994 to meet the need for palliative (comfort) care among local communities. Holzer Hospice serves patients in Gallia, Jackson and Meigs counties, as well as portions of Lawrence, Vinton and Athens counties. For more information about the camp and how to apply for a child to attend, please call Hospice at 740-446-5074 or 1-800-5004850. If anyone would like for a representative to speak to their organization about the camp, contact Hospice in advance to arrange a time. Area churches participate in D.C. March for Life Carrie Gloeckner Special to Civitas Media OHIO VALLEY — Members of area churches recently traveled to Washington, D.C. to participate in the 40th annual March for Life. Thirty-seven people made the bus trip to attend the march. While most were local to Mason, Meigs and Gallia counties, one person was from Ironton and another from Westerville. The group was multigenerational with several grandmothers, parents and grandchildren all participating. “We want to save babies,” Tim Stapleton of Gallia County Right to Life said, “This is all about the babies.” Stapleton’s family was along for the trip, including his five children. This year was especially noteworthy for marchers and was highly attended by an estimated 500,000 people from every state in the continental United States. The marchers remembered the anniversary of the Roe vs. Wade Supreme Court decision that legalized abortion with the slogan “40 = 55M” meaning 40 years equals 55 million babies aborted since the legalization of abortion in America. Also remembered was Nellie Gray who started the March for Life in the nation’s capital. Gray died in 2012. The rally focused more on reflecting on her contributions to the march and the pro-life movement. Organizers wanted to focus less on political rhetoric from politicians and more on personal stories.

Local stocks LLBEADS Ǧ�Gift of one Trollbead* with the purchase of any three Trollbeads WASHINGTON (AP) — The Senate Thursday took up must-do legislation to permit the government to borrow hundreds of billions of dollars more to meet its obligations, putting off one Washington showdown even as others loom in coming weeks. The measure would suspend the $16.4 trillion limit on federal borrowing through May 18, allowing about $450 billion in new debt to be added to the federal ledger, according to an estimate by the Bipartisan Policy Center. The Republican-controlled House passed the legislation last week. A successful Senate vote Thursday afternoon would send the measure to President Barack Obama, who is expected to sign it into law immediately. Without the bill, the government would default on its obligations by as early as mid-February. “Failure to pass this bill will set off an unpredictable financial panic that would plunge not only the United States, but much of the world, back into recession,” said Sen. Max Baucus, D-Mont. “Every single American would feel the economic impact.” The short-term increase in the borrowing cap is the brainchild of House Republicans, who wanted to re-sequence a series of upcoming budget battles, taking the threat of a potentially devastating government default off the table and instead setting up a clash in March over automatic across-the-board spending cuts set to strike the Pentagon and many domestic programs. Those cuts — postponed by the recent “fiscal cliff” deal — are the punishment for the failure of a 2011 deficit supercommittee to reach an agreement. The panel was itself established by the hard-fought 2011 increase in the debt limit. Democrats are going along because the debt increase isn’t contingent on matching cuts to the budget, as long demanded by House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio. Senate Republicans are offering several amendments, including a proposal by Sen. Pat Toomey, R-Pa., to ensure that in the case of a cash crunch the government would use available tax revenue to make sure that bondholders, Social Security and the military get paid. Another, by Rob Portman of Ohio, sought to require that any immediate increase in the debt limit be paired with commensurate cuts to spending, which could be spread out over 10 years. The GOP amendments, however, are sure to fail. Portman’s amendment was killed by a 54-44 vote. Any successful effort to amend the bill would require the House to vote again and delay delivery of the measure to the president. To sell the measure to House GOP conservatives, Boehner instead attached a “no budget, no pay” provision that would withhold pay for House and Senate members if the chamber in which they serve fails to pass a budget plan. That was a slap at the Democratic-controlled Senate, which hasn’t passed a budget blueprint since 2009. latter, it’s up to you whether you want to let him get away with it.

Dear N.G.: It’s not impossible that he would change his mind in the future about having kids, but it’s not something you should count on. Usually by the time they are in their 30s, people have had enough experience to know whether they do or do not want to have children, and they typically don’t change their minds later on. If you’ve had multiple discussions about the topic and he knows that you’ve always wanted to have kids, and he still is not interested, it’s fairly unlikely that he’d have a change of heart in the future. The other aspect of your questions is tougher, and is something that only you can answer for yourself. Think about your future without kids versus your future without this particular man. If kids are important enough to you that you would consider breaking up with him, then it’s probably a good idea to do so now rather than spend any more time trying to persuade him — it will only get harder the more time goes by. If you do stay together, you should continue the discussion of the possibility of kids, but don’t be surprised if he never changes his mind. You don’t want to pressure him into a decision that he can’t make freely, or you’ll both end up unhappy. Only you can decide how important this relationship is to you and your future happiness, with or without children in the picture.

Ohio governor gives insights on Medicaid expansion COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Ohio Gov. John Kasich dropped hints Thursday about whether he’ll push to expand Medicaid under the federal health care law to cover more poor people in the state. While the Republican governor would not reveal his plans, he did say that he views the expansion decision separately from the law he and others often call “Obamacare” and its mandate for almost everyone to obtain health insurance. Kasich is expected to decide soon whether Ohio should opt for Medicaid expansion under the law, the signature legislation of Democratic President Barack Obama’s administration. The governor plans to make the decision known when he unveils his two-year state budget proposal on Monday. Speculation around the Statehouse is that Kasich is leaning toward expansion. “I think probably many of you suspect what I’m going to do,” Kasich told reporters Thursday. “If you’ve followed me for the last couple of years, and as you’ve gotten to know me better, you kind of know how I feel about things like this.” The federal government will pay the entire cost of the Medicaid expansion for the first three years, gradually phasing down to 90 percent of the cost after that. Even at those generous rates, however, some GOP governors and state legislatures say they fear being stuck with longterm costs. Ohio was among 26 states that sued to overturn the law. While the U.S. Supreme Court last year upheld the heart of the overhaul, it allowed states to decide whether to expand Medicaid. Ohio officials have been weighing the long-term impact and potential costs of expanding Medicaid against the possible savings. A recent study said Ohio stands to make $1.4 billion dur- ing the next decade with the expansion. But most of that revenue would come during the first years of an expanded Medicaid program and eventually level off as the state’s share of the costs increase. The analysis says Ohio would save money in 2014 because the federal government would pay a much higher share of Medicaid costs for newly eligible adults. The state also would see an increase in sales and health insurance tax revenues, the report said. About 456,000 uninsured Ohioans would gain health care coverage by 2022 under the expansion, according to the study from the Health Policy Institute of Ohio, a nonpartisan policy organization. “I don’t view this as Obamacare at all,” Kasich said Thursday during a legislative preview session for journalists organized by The Associated Press. “Obamacare, you know, involving an individual mandate, I don’t support. … But this is a different issue. This is about people who are at the lower economic end.” Kasich said a top concern for him in weighing a possible Medicaid expansion is whether the state can trust the federal government to continue picking up the bulk of program costs. Kasich unveils plan to boost struggling schools percent the next year. School budgets have been pounded by declines in other revenue sources, including the end of federal stimulus dollars, the phasing out of a state business tax and declining property values in many areas. The governor planned an online town hall at 6 p.m. allowing members of the public to submit questions. School funding decisions for Ohio’s 613 school districts and 353 charter schools are likely to affect many tax bills, home values and the quality of the education children receive. The long-awaited plan is expected to kick off months of debate over Ohio’s educational direction. Kasich said his plan would “strip all the politics” out of the funding issue, but even before its release, there was criticism from some Democrats and teacher union officials that Kasich hadn’t involved them in development of his plan. Ohio has been effectively without a school funding formula since 2009. Kasich scrapped Democratic predecessor Ted Strickland’s attempt at a solution, an “evidence-based model” criticized as theoretical and unfunded. While Kasich initially predicted he’d have his formula ready by October 2011, it’s taken him more than an additional year to come up with a plan. In the two decades since the Ohio Supreme Court first declared the state’s school funding system unconstitutional, many other attempts at a workable solution have been made. One plan looked to spending by academically successful schools as the benchmark for districts statewide. Another sent a set amount per student to each district, with additional weight given to how many pupils a district had in poverty or in special programs. Strickland’s plan identified education strategies that were scientifically proven to work, then tried phasing them in. According to legislative budget analysts, primary and secondary education accounted for almost 42 percent of state general revenue spending in fiscal 2011 and 40 percent in fiscal 2012. While the state has waited for a new formula, Ohio school districts have continued to receive what they got in 2009 with a few adjustments that included assurances that no district receive less than in the previous fiscal year, and extra money for those demonstrating excellence.

Sunday, Feb. 3rd 11am - 1pm Carryout Available 1-740-949-2044 60389640 COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Ohio Gov. John Kasich unveiled a schoolfunding overhaul on Thursday that he said is aimed at helping students in poor districts compete while introducing changes meant to reward and highlight innovation. The Republican governor’s longawaited plan would boost districts that are lagging behind in property values and household incomes. Kasich education advisers said no schools would see reduced funding next year under the current formula, to allow them time to adjust. A special fund with $300 million in additional money would be created to reward districts for innovation and efficiency. “This is a plan that says that every student in any part of the state, regardless of what kind of district they come from, should be given the resources to be able to compete with a child across the state,” Kasich said before a meeting Thursday afternoon to brief school superintendents on the plan. The plan dubbed “Achievement Everywhere” also means to help districts with the extra costs of special-needs students, to provide more school choice, such as expanding vouchers for parents to move children from low-performing schools to private ones. There is also funding help planned for districts with high levels of poverty where students don’t have access to preschool programs, and other aid to help them reach Ohio’s new third grade reading proficiency target. There are also steps to increase transparency about school efficiency and performance, and to encourage districts to learn from the successes of comparable districts. Kasich advisers said funding changes would bring all schools up to the tax base level of a district with $250,000 in property value per student, a figure they said was at the 96th percentile of districts statewide, and direct dollars away from administration costs into the classroom. Kasich told school administrators that while he knew many were worried about cuts, the state’s financial stewardship allows more funding which he said his administration wants to be sure benefits students directly. “We want to get those dollars into the classroom,” Kasich said. Kasich aides said state formula funding for K-12 districts would rise nearly 6 percent in fiscal year 2014, and 3.2 Locally at 606-324-9745 mortonbuildings.com 60390013 �The Daily Sentinel Faith and Family Page 4 Friday, February 1, 2013 New full-time pastor in Pomeroy Charlene Hoeflich choeflich@civitasmedia.com POMEROY — Brian Dunham has been appointed as the full-time pastor of New Beginnings United Methodist Church in Pomeroy, effective February 1.

Along with this change, New Beginnings has set a new morning worship time of 10 a.m. followed by Sunday School for all ages at 11:15 a.m. beginning this Sunday, February 3. Also, at Noon this Sunday, the annual “Souper Bowl Luncheon” will feature a great line-up of soups and other food items. Everyone from the community is welcome to enjoy this free meal.

Christianity isn’t for wimps! Last week marked the fortieth anniversary of the ruling which allowed for abortion-on-demand in America. I shudder to think of God’s judgment upon those who engineered it, and upon our nation for allowing it! Likewise, state after state after state are ruling the Biblical definition of marriage passé, declaring that what The Holy Bible all along has said God means marriage to be — i.e., a holy and wholly unique estate involving one man and one woman — is no longer acceptable or applicable in America. So it is, by the stroke of a pen God’s Word is rendered null and void. Get the picture? Look no further than America itself, for it is here with increasing frequency and distressingly less hesitation that God is being mocked! So regularly do others sow the wind with their own selfish and sinful desires, with their blatant rejection of God’s standards and sovereignty that we must concede the whirlwind of God’s making yet to come. It cannot be otherwise, for God will not withhold His judgment forever. There is evil afoot in our land, and there is no right way to do what’s wrong in God’s sight! Man-made laws exist to be obeyed; still more, God. You are His; you are not a lemming! Wednesday of each month 4:30-6 p.m. that is open to the public.

Fourth, make sure to have an esMake it a Great Day! Search the Scriptures ‘These were more noble…they searched the scriptures daily…’ One of the figures that God frequently uses to describe His people is that of the flock. Throughout the Old Testament, especially in the poetic and prophetic books, God’s relationship to man is likened to a shepherd and his sheep. One of the most notable passages concerning this is, of course, the 23rd Psalm. David’s confession: “The Lord is my Shepherd,” echoes just as strongly in the hearts of men today as ever it did. Isaiah, in contemplating the work of the Messiah, says concerning our need for Him that, “All we like sheep have gone astray.” (Isaiah 53:6) Ezekiel is told something similar. “For thus says the Lord GOD: Indeed I Myself will search for My sheep and seek them out. As a shepherd seeks out his flock on the day he is among his scattered sheep, so will I seek out My sheep and deliver them from all the places where they were scattered on a cloudy and dark day. And I will bring them out from the peoples and gather them from the countries, and will bring them to their own land; I will feed them on the mountains of Israel, in the valleys and in all the inhabited places of the country. I will feed them in good pasture, and their fold shall be on the high mountains of Israel. There they shall lie down in a good fold and feed in rich pasture on the mountains of Israel. I will feed My flock, and I will make them lie down,” says the Lord GOD. “I will seek what was lost and bring back what was driven away, bind up the broken and strengthen what was sick; but I will destroy the fat and the strong, and feed them in judgment.” (Ezekiel 34:11-16) In Ezekiel’s prophecy, we can find a dual fulfillment. On the one hand it was likely understood by Ezekiel’s initial audience to be a foretelling of God bringing His people out of captivity from among the nations and restoring them to their rightful place in Judah. However, Christians should also recognize this passage as a Messianic prophecy describing the church: God’s flock, saved from among the many nations, and made into a new nation. This is made clearer a few verses further into the chapter: “I will establish one shepherd over them, and he shall feed them—My servant David. He shall feed them and be their shepherd. And I, the Lord, will be their God, and My servant David a prince among them; I, the Lord, have spoken.” (Ezekiel 34:23-24) Following the captivity from Babylon, David had no heir upon the throne until Christ came. The “David” spoken of must be Jesus. Jesus acknowledged this fulfillment on more than one occasion. He likened His Kingdom to a shepherd with a single sheep gone astray; a sheep the shepherd left all to look for (cf. Matthew 18:11-12). In John 10, Jesus gave a sermon comparing Himself to a shepherd, even adopting for Himself the title, Good Shepherd. (cf. John 10:11). He says at that time, “he who enters by the door is the shepherd of the sheep. To him the doorkeeper opens, and the sheep hear his voice; and he calls his own sheep by name and leads them out. And when he brings out his own sheep, he goes before them; and the sheep follow him, for they know his voice.” (John 10:2-4) And again, “I lay down My life for the sheep. And other sheep I have which are not of this fold; them also I must bring, and they will hear My voice; and there will be one flock and one shepherd.” (John 10:15-16) The idea of other sheep is a clear reference to the Gentiles. Jesus knew that, in the church, He would unite both Jew and Gentile into a single flock in fulfillment of Ezekiel 34. Thus it is to the church that God says prophetically, “You are my flock, the flock of My pasture; you are men, and I am your God.” (Ezekiel 34:31) There are many lessons we can glean from this figure of the church as the flock of God. Like sheep rely on the shepherd, so Christians must rely on God for guidance. As sheep need the shepherd to provide food, so Christians must rely on Him for spiritual food and drink. As sheep without a shepherd are defenseless, so we, as Christians, are defenseless against sin and evil; we must rely on God for our protection from such. And we should also learn this lesson, as given in John 10; the Lord’s flock follows only the voice of the Lord. Other men will try to lead God’s people out of the Lord’s pasture and into their own. All who follow such men have left the fold of safety and have shown a disregard for the Lord’s voice. If we truly desire to be the Lord’s church, we must follow only Christ. Practically speaking, this means we heed the Gospel of Christ, not the doctrines or creeds of men. We grow through God’s word, not through filling ourselves with the philosophies of men (cf. 1 Peter 2:1-2). It is when we thus follow the guidance of the Lord, and only His guidance, that we can say with David, “I shall not want,” and “though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil.” (Psalms 23: 1, 4) At the church of Christ, we seek to be the Lord’s flock, following only the voice of the Lord.

He’s bringing three friends. The Cavaliers’ point guard was selected Wednesday along with teammates Tristan Thompson and rookies Dion Waiters and Tyler Zeller to play in next month’s Rising Stars Challenge during All-Star activities in Houston. Irving, who was named MVP of last year’s game between the league’s rookies and second-year players, has already been picked as an All-Star reserve, and he could start for the Eastern Conference because of a season-ending injury to Boston’s Rajon Rondo. “We’re very proud of Kyrie, Tristan, Dion and Tyler and the efforts they are putting in to earn this kind of recognition,” Cavs general manager Chris Grant said. “Internal growth with our young core is very important to us and this is a good reflection of their development. It is also great they will be able to experience this special All-Star week- end together and we look forward to seeing their continued hard work and progress.” Irving made all eight 3-pointers and scored 34 points to win MVP honors in last year’s Rising Stars game. The reigning NBA rookie of the year, is averaging 23.9 points, 5.5 assists and 3.6 rebounds in 35 games. With Rondo out, the East’s coach — likely to be Miami’s Erik Spoelstra — will select a new starter. A season-ending injury to center Anderson Varejao has given Thompson more playing time, and the second-year forward has been thriving. He’s averaging 11 points and 9.3 rebounds, including 3.9 on the offensive end — third most in the league. Thompson, who was the No. 4 overall pick in the 2011 draft, has 17 double-doubles this season. Waiters’ 14.5 point average is second among rookies and he’s chipping in 3.2 assists and 2.4 rebounds per game. Among rookies, he’s second in steals, third in assists and fourth in to- tal 3-pointers made (49). Zeller is averaging 8.3 points, 6.2 rebounds and one block in 27.8 minutes. Also, the Cavs, who had their three-game winning streak ended by Golden State on Tuesday, assigned forward Kevin Jones to their Canton affiliate in the NBA Development League. Jones has appeared in 15 games for Cleveland, averaging 1.9 points and 1.5 rebounds in nine minutes. He’s averaged 23.8 points and 12.3 rebounds in six games for the Charge.

The Giants won, 37-20. Packers all-time leading receiver Driver to retire Scars harder to see as Super Bowl nears Nuri Vallbona | Miami Herald | MCT photo A September 3, 2005 aerial view over the Superdome in New Orleans that shows the massive flooding and roof damage that the dome received during Hurricane Katrina. NEW ORLEANS (AP) — No other uniform would fit Donald Driver. The Green Bay Packers all-time leading receiver announced his retirement Thursday morning, with a public ceremony planned for Feb. 6 at the Lambeau Field Atrium. “I’ve always said I never want to wear another uniform. I’ve always said that I owe it to the fans to retire as a Packer,” Driver said. “I feel like I can still play, but if I can’t play for my organization, then I can’t play for anyone else.” Driver finishes his 14-year career as Green Bay’s alltime leader in yards receiving (10,137 yards), catches (743) and 1,000-yard seasons (seven), and is third behind Don Hutson and Sterling Sharpe with 61 touchdown receptions. A four-time Pro Bowler, he was Green Bay’s MVP in 2002 and was part of the team that won the Super Bowl following the 2010 season. Only Brett Favre played more games in a Packers uniform. “All 14 years. Every day,” Driver said in an interview on ESPN’s “Mike & Mike” when asked what his favorite memory is. “That’s a special place to walk out of, and that’s something I’ll never forget.” Drafted by Green Bay in the seventh round of the 1999 draft, Driver became one of the most popular and prolific Packers. He had six straight 1,000-yard seasons from 2004-09, averaging 14 yards per catch during the stretch. He made at least one catch in 133 straight games from 2002 to 2010, another franchise record. He’s one of only 18 wide receivers in NFL history with 700-plus career catches and 10,000 or more receiving yards in 200 games. “It was a pleasure to share the field with you for 4 years! Great player, tremendous person. (hash)retire80,” offensive guard T.J. Lang said on Twitter. Aaron Rodgers added, “Thanks for the memories quickie, you will be missed (hash)Packer4Life.” Quickie is Driver’s childhood nickname. Green Bay fans have a close bond with every Packers player, but they had a particular soft spot for Driver. They loved his bright smile and infectious laugh, and were moved by his story of overcoming seemingly insurmountable odds. Growing up, Driver and his family were so poor that he, his mother and siblings sometimes spent the nights in a U-Haul. He and his brother stole cars to get money, and Driver sold drugs, too. Packers fans embraced him — his jersey is a popular sight at Lambeau Field, right up there with Rodgers’ No. 12 and Clay Matthews’ No. 52 — and he happily returned the love. He’s been active in the community throughout his career and said that won’t change.

To see the remnants of Katrina’s destruction, fans coming to town for Sunday’s game will have to stray from the French Quarter and the downtown corridor where the Superdome is located. Even in the neighborhoods that bore the brunt of the storm, many of the most glaring scars have faded over time. Billions of dollars in federal money has paid for repairing and replacing tens of thousands of homes wrecked by flooding. Gone are the ubiquitous FEMA trailers that once dotted the landscape. Levees that broke and flooded 80 percent of the city have been fortified with the intent of protecting the city from another epic hurricane. The city’s lifeblood tourism trade has thrived despite the double-barrel blow of Katrina and BP’s massive 2010 oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico. Seafood is plentiful as the harvest rebounds from effects of the oil spill. Crowds at Jazz Fest and Mardi Gras, two of the city’s signature events, have at least matched prestorm levels. Lured by tax credits, filmmakers have flocked here in droves. And the hospitality industry has been an economic engine for the city, which has more restaurants now than it did when the storm made landfall. “The restaurants opened lickety split, as fast as they could,” said Tom Fitzmorris, publisher of The New Orleans Menu. “Everybody is doing well. We have very few closings. I don’t know anybody who is complaining.” Sunday’s Super Bowl is the city’s first since 2002, but New Orleans already has hosted a BCS national championship game, a men’s Final Four and other major sports and entertainment events in the past 18 months alone. “That is an extraordinary run of events for a city that seven years ago was 15 feet under water and the last on every list in America that mattered,” Mayor Mitch Landrieu said last week. “Now we find ourselves in a city that’s on the world stage.” Yet, as far as the city has come, decades-old problems persist. New Orleans remains plagued by violent crime, political corruption, a troubled police department and poverty. Crime rates briefly dipped after Katrina scattered residents all over the country but quickly soared again as people returned home. Landrieu has made crime reduction one of his top priorities, but the murder rate has remained stubbornly high since he took office in 2010. After the storm, federal authorities launched a sweeping effort to clean up the police department. Several investigations yielded charges against 20 current or former officers, many of whom were linked to deadly shootings in Katrina’s chaotic aftermath. The Justice Department also has negotiated ambitious plans to reform the police force and improve conditions at the city’s jail. Separate probes of City Hall corruption revealed that some officials enriched themselves while New Orleans struggled to rebound from the storm. The latest and most prominent target so far is former Mayor Ray Nagin, who was indicted earlier this month on charges he accepted bribes and payoffs in exchange for steering work to city contractors. For the city’s poorest residents, life hasn’t gotten any easier since Katrina. Housing costs have skyrocketed while the region’s unemployment rate has risen along with the rest of the country. A monthslong moratorium on deepwater drilling in the Gulf after the BP spill didn’t help matters, either. “A fresh coat of paint hasn’t and won’t drive away the poverty that has existed in our community,” said Davida Finger, a Loyola University law professor who has helped low-income residents with Katrina-related housing problems. “It didn’t go away with the storm, and it can’t go away overnight.” Although the population hasn’t returned to its pre-Katrina levels, New Orleans is one of the nation’s fastest growing large cities. The population dropped from more than 484,000 in 2000 to an estimated 208,000 a year after Katrina before rising to an estimated 360,000 as of July 2011, according to census figures cited by the Greater New Orleans Community Data Center. Allison Plyer, the center’s deputy director and chief demographer, said Katrina gave the city a chance to fix problems that have spanned generations. For instance, notoriously dysfunctional public schools were replaced with privately run charter schools that have been credited with making slow but measurable improvements in student performance. “Katrina and the levee failures caused a break in the status quo that sparked extensive citizen engagement and intensive reforms,” Plyer said. “For some, there has been a vast improvement. For others, things have gotten substantially worse.” Few residents are dwelling on the negative, however, as they prepare for the big game, the legions of ceSee SCARS ‌| 10 Pioneers sweep Hannan, 44-35 Bryan Walters bwalters@civitasmedia.com ASHTON, W.Va. — The Hannan boys basketball team kept things interesting in the middle periods, but a strong start and a solid finish ultimately allowed visiting Wayne to secure 44-35 victory Wednesday night in a non-conference matchup in Mason County. The Wildcats (2-15) fell behind 14-6 after eight minutes of play, but the hosts responded with a 20-16 run over the next two frames to pull within 30-26 headed into the finale. The Pioneers, however, closed regulation with a 14-9 surge to wrap up the nine-point decision. The triumph allowed Wayne (5-9) to claim a season sweep of Hannan after posting a 67-41 win at WHS back on December 14. The Wildcats have now lost 10 straight decisions, and the previous Wayne loss started this current HHS skid. Hannan made a 10-6 run in the second canto to pull within 20-16 at the intermission, then both team netted 10 points apiece for a four- point contest headed into the fourth. Tyler Burns led the hosts with a game-high 17 points, followed by Paul Holley with eight markers. Brad Fannin and Kade McCoy each contributed three points, while Ty Paige and Tyler Jenkins netted two markers apiece. HHS hit six trifectas and went 3-of-12 at the free throw line for 25 percent. Alex Elkins, Brett Justice and Brayden Baker all paced Wayne with 11 points each. The guests hit two three-pointers and converted 6-of-17 charity tosses for 35 percent. �Friday, February 1, 2013 ANNOUNCEMENTS SERVICES Other Services LEGALS The 2012 Annual Financial Report of the Village of Middleport is available for public inspection at the Fiscal Officer’s office in Village Hall in Middleport, Ohio 45760 between the hours of 9am and 4pm Monday through Friday. 1/30 1/31 2/1 The Home National Bank will Auction the following item on Saturday February 2, 2013 at 10:00 a.m. The sale will be held in the bank's parking lot. 60388178 SERVICE / BUSINESS DIRECTORY MARCUM CONSTRUCTION Commercial & Residential Interior Exterior We Now Offer Single Axle Dump Truck Service 2001 GMC YUKON 1GKFK16T61J265999 The Home National Bank reserves the right to reject any and all bids.

You are capable of having a fun time with nearly anyone, but you really appreciate intellectual conversations and challenges. If you are single, you are likely to attract a more cultured type of personality. You will experience many fun and interesting exchanges. If you are attached, the two of you will benefit from a special vacation together. Getting away will reinvigorate your bond. Try to schedule some weekends away to relax, as well. LIBRA has a tendency to overindulge. 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 Others make efforts to head in the direction you want; however, something that’s been said or done could be getting under your skin. Until you know what is ailing you, do yourself a favor and say little. Others are only too happy to run the show. Tonight: Defer to others. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHHH Listen to everything that is going on behind the scenes. You might opt to ignore the obvious — for now, at least. A friend or loved one pushes you hard. Honor whatever responsibilities you must take care of first. Compliments come your way. Tonight: TGIF. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHHH A compliment or kind message makes you smile. Understanding will evolve if you stay open and avoid making a judgment. A boss or someone you look up to might start demanding more. Make a careful choice as to how to respond. Tonight: Time to romp and enjoy yourself. CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHH Observe, but do not commit to anything. Your major focus needs to be your own well-being. Money could play into discussions. Reach out to someone at a distance. Do not be surprised if this person seems to have an attitude. Tonight: Accept an interesting invitation. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHHH How you verbalize what you need will make a difference as to how the message is received. Others find you engaging and are disposed to go along with your ideas, though one person might differentiate him- or herself as a critic. Tonight: Happiest sharing news. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHHH You could be very tired and withdrawn. You know what is necessary to do. Complete what you must now, and leave what you can do later for “another day.” A loved one and/ or a close associate could be irritable. Tonight: Your treat. Try to soften up a loved one. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHHHH Don’t hesitate to beam in more of what you want. Realize what is happening with a child or loved one. This person adores you, so make time to get together with him or her. Plan on taking a walk or doing a different type of stressbuster. Tonight: With a favorite person. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHH If you feel as if you would like to avoid some people, do so. If they could get even a sense of your mood, they would want to avoid you as well. Tap into your imagination and your creativity for solutions and better ideas. Tonight: Talk to someone who understands you. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHHH Meetings punctuate the day. If you can, schedule the most fun gathering for the end of the afternoon. You not only will participate in this meeting, but you also might witness its transformation into a fun evening get-together. Tonight: Continue as you would like. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHH Stay on top of your obligations. If you do, you could be more responsive to those around you. You have a way of showing your compassion through actions that means a lot to others. Make a point of inviting a friend to join you. Tonight: A discussion could become too animated. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHHH Reach out to someone you care about. You have not been your responsive self to this person as of late. Discuss your anger, but be sensitive, too. Maintain some detachment as you try to figure out what to do. Use caution when spending. Tonight: Only where there is music. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHHH Deal with others directly. Though one person might be outrageous in his or her interactions, know that you have the wherewithal to handle this issue. Establish appropriate boundaries. Use caution with someone you meet today.

CeeLo Green is reuniting with his old hip-hop clique, Goodie Mob, and Rascal Flatts is teaming up with Journey for a concert. Those represent only a fraction of the allstar events to celebrate the Super Bowl. “The Super Bowl has become such a big event in itself. So many people come from everywhere, looking to not only be a part of the Super Bowl but also the festivities leading up to the game,” said CeeLo, who is performing at ESPN’s Next event. “There’s so much to do, from parties, concerts and events.” Indeed, until the Baltimore Ravens and the San Francisco 49ers meet at the Superdome on Sunday, much of the emphasis in the days leading up to the event has very little to do with the game. Lil Wayne is throwing a major bash in his hometown, Jay-Z is holding court at another event the evening before his wife, Beyonce, performs at halftime, and Jamie Foxx is due to give a private concert — and that’s just the lineup for Saturday. Director Michael Bay is holding court at a private estate for a celebrity dinner for charity. Santigold, Solange and producer/DJ Diplo will perform at Audi’s two parties during the weekend, and both Playboy and Maxim are planning blowout parties with their trademark models. “I’ve never seen anything like this,” said Gary Solomon Jr., co-founder of Solomon Group, the local company hired to help set up the stages and lighting for the outdoor concerts and broadcasting areas in the French Quarter and near the Superdome. “When you look at the master calendar of all the events, it’s pretty daunting,” he said. “This Super Bowl is like having 30 events in the same weekend.” Perhaps the most hotly anticipated event features Timberlake. He will perform during “DIRECTV Super Saturday Night,” an invitation-only concert that will also feature Ahmir “Questlove” Thompson of The Roots as DJ. Questlove is a friend of Timberlake’s who served as DJ at the pop star’s wedding to Jessica Biel in October. Questlove said he’s honored that he was asked to DJ Timberlake’s return to the stage on Super Bowl weekend. Timberlake is expected to perform his new single, “Suit & Tie,” which features Jay-Z, and other tracks from his upcoming album, “The 20/20 Experience.” “The album is incredible,” Questlove said. “I’m a huge supporter, and I’m there to make sure the audience has a good time.” Jay-Z and Beyonce have been spotted in New Orleans, and many are wondering whether Jay-Z — who is hosting a party elsewhere that night — will be taking the stage with Timberlake. “Mum’s the word,” Questlove said. “All that is under wraps.” Stevie Wonder is also performing Saturday night. The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame legend, whose classic hit “Superstition” will be featured in two of this year’s Bud Light Super Bowl commercials, is headlining an outdoor concert. Rising guitarist Gary Clark Jr. is also scheduled to perform. Besides the Timberlake concert, Questlove is performing with The Roots at three Super Bowl parties, including the 49ers after-game party — “or funeral, depending on the outcome of the game,” he said with a laugh. OneRepublic and Matchbox Twenty will perform as part of the Super Bowl pregame show. As will “American Idol” alum Jennifer Hudson, who will join the chorus from Sandy Hook Elementary School to sing “America the Beautiful” before the 49ers and Ravens take the field, the NFL said. The chorus features 26 children from Sandy Hook Elementary in Newtown, Conn., where 20 firstgraders and six adults were killed in a Dec. 14 shooting rampage. The performance will be part of CBS’s pre-game show and will be broadcast live. Alicia Keys will sing the national anthem. Much of the entertainment kicks off Friday. VH1 is hosting a concert headlined by rock band Train while Grammy-winning R&B singer Fantasia leads a pack of Christian and gospel singers for the NFL’s Super Bowl Gospel Celebration. Baltimore Ravens star Ray Lewis is being honored with a “Lifetime of Inspiration” award during the event, which will be hosted by Sherri Shepherd of ABC’s “The View” and Grammy-winning gospel musician Kirk Franklin. Players make Super Bowl ticket grab NEW ORLEANS (AP) — Heading back to his hometown, Jacoby Jones couldn’t afford to tell the truth. The All-Pro kick returner for the Baltimore Ravens got 15 tickets for the Super Bowl as a participating player. The demand from family, friends in New Orleans was way beyond that. No Big Easy there. “I told my family before I left (Baltimore) I only got nine,” Jones said, shaking his head and smiling. “They’re expensive and I’ll do something for you during the game, so y’all can be together.” Each Raven and San Francisco 49er player and coach had access to 15 tickets: two complimentary, the rest for purchase. Prices range this year from $800 to $1,200, the same as last year in Indianapolis. When the game was last played in New Orleans 11 years ago, every seat cost $400. Tickets also are available to players on injured reserve. For the 49ers, that’s almost 90 people, not counting front office personnel who generally had access to two tickets each. “I said I only got nine so they’d fight over them,” Jones said with a laugh. Then he did a really smart thing: He put his mother, Emily, in charge of ticketing. “My mom is old school, no nonsense. She’s from here, born and raised. It will be immediate family.” Jones tried to make up for the shortfall by buying the rest of his family jerseys, about 30 in all. Teammate Ed Reed was in the same pickle. He’s from New Orleans, too. So the star safety sought advice from Saints linebacker Jonathan Vilma, who played in a Super Bowl in his hometown of Miami three years ago. “I would actually auction off tickets to random folk if I could,” Reed said. “I’m still kind of chopping things down, making sure you’ve got your lists right, especially when you come home. You want everyone to come to the game. Scars From Page 6 lebrities it will bring and the annual Carnival parades that culminate with Mardi Gras on Feb. 12. The matchup between the San Francisco 49ers and Baltimore Ravens will be the seventh Super Bowl at the Superdome and 10th overall in New Orleans since the NFL awarded the city a franchise in 1966. The dome became a symbol of suffering after thousands of residents were stranded there for days without food or water in Katrina’s aftermath. Hundreds of millions of dollars in renovations helped make the Saints’ home a suitable Super Bowl venue again. Marisol Canedo, whose love for New Orleans inspired her to rebuild after her family’s home was inundated by 11 feet of water, said the Super Bowl’s return shows the world that New Orleans is “open for business.” But that doesn’t mean the city is close to completely recovering, she cautions. “It’s a struggle to get where we were,” she said. “Everything is not up and running. Everything is not back to what it was preKatrina.” Driver From Page 6 munity softball game will be played June 16. “That’s my second home,” Driver said. “I’m born and raised in Houston, Texas, but Wisconsin is always going to be a home for me, and I’ll always be back.’ Though Driver had said he hoped to play until he was 40 — he turns 38 on Saturday — his retirement was hardly a surprise. He had restructured the final year of his contract to come back this season, but played only a bit role in the offense with Greg Jennings, James Jones, Jordy Nelson and Randall Cobb ahead of him on the depth chart. Driver’s eight catches for 77 yards were his lowest totals since his rookie season, and he was inactive for four games, including the NFC wild-card, his final game at Lambeau Field. Though coach Mike McCarthy didn’t say as much during their postseason meeting, Driver knew he wasn’t in the Packers plans for next season. “I just kind of knew in his eyes,” Driver said. “When you’ve known a guy for so long and you’re friends, it’s hard for him to tell you that they’re not going to bring me back. I just kind of looked at him and I just kind of knew that that’s what they were going to do.” And that made his decision easy. Minnesota reportedly had interest in Driver, and he said he thinks there would have been other teams that wanted him, too. But he wasn’t going to play for anyone besides the Packers, a decision supported by his wife Bettina and their three children. “Do I feel like I can still play? Yes,” he said. “But at the end of the day, I owe it to the fans to put the cleats up. I promised them years ago that I would never wear nothing but green and gold, so I owe it to them to walk away.” Driver also didn’t want to put the Packers in a tough spot, having watched them go through their messy divorce with Brett Favre. “I just wanted to make it easy on the organization, not put any pressure on them,” Driver said. “Just be able to walk away on my own terms and not have them say, ‘We’re not going to bring you back.’” Instead, the Packers are hosting his retirement party next week. Driver’s formal announcement will be made in the Lambeau Field Atrium, and there are a limited number of free tickets for fans available on a firstcome, first-served basis. “I’m happy with the decision I made,” Driver said. “It will be a little tougher on Feb. 6. I’m going to get emotional. I’m trying not to get too emotional today, but Feb. 6 I know will be emotional.” While Driver may be retiring, there will still be plenty to keep him busy. He’s got a book coming out in September, and will appear on “Extreme Makeover Weight Loss Edition.” The “Dancing with the Stars” champion is also exploring possibilities in broadcasting, and would be open to a hybrid of sports and entertainment, similar to what former New York Giants linebacker Michael Strahan has done. But no matter what he does, he’ll always be part of the Packers. “It means the world. Not too many guys get to play for one organization,” Driver said. “What I feel like I’ve done on and off the field has truly been a blessing.” 60388393 � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
