During a recent Southern Local Board of Education meeting, the board unanimously approved a resolution for the design develop- ment phase submission presented at the January 23 meeting. The resolution reads, “the design development phase submission notebook for the project, which is dated January 23, 2012, and includes the drawings and documents prepared by the architect for the building and other required documents, all of which have been assembled by the construction manager, is approved by the Board.” The resolution also authorizes See BIDS |‌ 3 Photo courtesy of Southern Local School District Mason Co. sheriff returns to work Beth Sergent bsergent@heartlandpublications.com Submitted photo Main Street: Then and Now As work on the telephone poles on Main Street in Pomeroy continued this week, a postcard from the late 1800s/early 1900s reminds villagers of the way the store fronts looked before the poles were but in place in the early 1900s.

Sarah Hawley/photo CERT training to be offered in Meigs County By Sarah Hawley shawley@heartlandpublications.com POMEROY — The Meigs County Citizens Corps Council and the Meigs County Emergency Management Agency (EMA) will be hosting a Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) Training during the month of March. The training will take place over four sessions, with attendance required at all four sessions to complete the course. CERT is a concept that was developed and implemented by the Los Angeles City Fire Department in 1985. The program is designed to help citizens understand and prepare for their roles in disaster situations. The program is designed to instruct people about readiness, people helping people, rescuer safety and doing the greatest good for the greatest number in emergency and disaster situation. Topics to be covered over the four days include: disaster preparedness, disaster fire suppression, disaster medical operations, light search and rescue operations, disaster psychology and team organization and course review and disaster simulation. Participants in each session are requested to bring safety equipment — gloves, goggles, mask and disaster supplies, bandages, flashlight, dressings — which will be used during each session. By doing this for each session, participants are building a disaster response kit of items that they will need during a disaster. Classes will take place from 9 a.m.12:30 p.m. on Saturday, March 3, and 9 a.m.-2:30 p.m. on Saturday, March 17, 24 and 31. All sessions will take place at the Courthouse Annex Basement Conference Room located at 117 East Memorial Drive in Pomeroy, Ohio. See CERT |‌ 3 POINT PLEASANT, W.Va. — Mason County Sheriff David L. Anthony, II, has returned to work this week. Anthony returned to work earlier this week and upon that return, made some personnel changes, namely, replacing Chief Deputy Jeff Fields with Deputy Rob Wilson. It’s been a week of unexpected shakeups from the sheriff who filed for a second term a week ago today despite facing a lengthy criminal indictment handed down by a grand jury last month. Anthony has pleaded not guilty to the charges and has retained Attorney David Moye to defend him in a trial tentatively scheduled for April 10. Moye has called the charges in the indictment “absolutely frivolous.” Moye indicated the sheriff intends to take his case to a jury, and wishes to keep the trial in Mason County to “be vindicated by the same people who trusted him to serve.” Last week, Moye indicated Anthony could return to his post in an “administrative capacity” despite the criminal charges and conditions of his bond. In addition to the criminal charges, Anthony is still facing the threat of removal from the Mason County Commission who voted to begin removal proceedings against him after audit findings which are believed to be related to charges in the indictment. If the commission’s efforts are successful, it could mean a more expeditious way of getting Anthony removed from office when compared to a court proceeding. For example, the commission files their petition with a panel of three judges. The date the panel convenes is not to be less than 24 days from the date of filing the petition. The panel hears the charges and evidence and can, upon satisfactory proof of the charges, remove Anthony from office. If the panel chooses to remove Anthony, he can appeal within 30 days from the order’s entry date. Again, the story continues to unfold as Anthony, a Democrat, prepares not only for his legal fight but to face four other Democratic candidates in the upcoming May primary, including John Paul Casey of Apple Grove, Donnie Kapp of Evans, Gregory Powers of Point Pleasant and James Will of Point Pleasant. Southern alumni games set for Feb. 18 RACINE — Big Fooze Night, which features Southern Alumni basketball games, has been set for 5 to 10:30 p.m. on Saturday, Feb. 18, at Southern High School. The fourth annual event will get under way with the third and fourth grade students singing the National Anthem followed by the first and second graders who will sing “Stand Up and Cheer.” All students are to arrive by 5:30 p.m. Those in grades K-8 will be given tickets for free student admission. The two home rooms with the most attendance at the game will be rewarded with a pizza party. The women’s warm-up for the alumni game will be at 5 p.m.. with the game to be held from 5:15 to 6 p.m. If there are over 20 players, a third 15-minute block will be added. From 6 to 6:15 p.m., there will be intermission with a cash scramble by Home National Bank, and at 6:15 p.m., the cheerleaders will perform, as will a standup and cheer band of first and second grade students. The third and fourth grade students will lead in the National Anthem. The warm-up schedule for the men is 6:30 p.m., 1994 and down; 7:30 p.m., 1995 to 2002; and 8:30 p.m., 2003 to 2011. �Friday, February 3, 2012 The Daily Sentinel • Page 2 www.mydailysentinel.com AG announces debt collection Local student named to dean’s list program for local governments SEARCY, Ark. — Sophomore Anna Hall of Rutland is among nearly 1,200 Harding University students included on the dean’s list for grades achieved during the fall 2011 semester. The dean’s list is published each semester by Dr. Larry Long, university provost, honoring those who have achieved high scholarship. To be eligible, a student must be carrying 12 or more hours with a 3.65 or higher grade point average and no incompletes. Today in the Ohio Senate COLUMBUS — In Wednesday’s Senate Session, the following bills were up for Third Consideration: DNA Collection: Senate Bill 268, sponsored by State Senator John Eklund (R - Munson Township), addresses a loophole in current law to enable a DNA specimen to be collected from an individual charged with a felony who was not technically arrested for the offense. In the age of sophisticated crime investigation, DNA is often a primary tool in solving “cold cases” that have long proven a challenge for law enforcement authorities. The proposal will allow for a specimen to be taken from an individual if it was not taken when otherwise required. Puppy Mills: Senate Bill 130, sponsored by Senator Jim Hughes (R - Columbus), takes aim at growing concerns over the abuse and neglect that is sometimes found at high volume dog breeding facilities. The legislation calls for the creation of the Commercial Dog Breeding Oversight Board to establish specific standards of care that must be maintained in order to operate in Ohio. Sewage Treatment Systems: Sponsored by Representative Ron Amstutz (R - Wooster), House Bill 32 grants exemptions to household sewage treatment systems from the Professional Engineers and Surveyors Law. Long a topic for discussion among Ohio lawmakers, the Household Sewage and Small Flow On-Site Sewage Treatment System Study Commission was created by Am. Sub. HB 119 of the 127th General Assembly with current Senate President Thomas Niehaus serving as Co-chairman of the panel. The commission made a series of recommendations regarding issues such as definitional changes, soil absorption standards, flexibility of homeowners utilization, and statewide bonding and testing. Pediatric Stroke Awareness: Introduced by Senator Larry Obhof (R - Montville Township), Senate Bill 260 will designate the month of May as “Pediatric Stroke Awareness Month” in Ohio. Strokes serve as one of the top ten causes of death among children, and survivors are left to deal with lingering and persistent neurological impairment following their diagnosis. Property Owner/Trespasser Liability: Senate Bill 202, sponsored by Senator Bill Seitz (R – Cincinnati), specifies the responsibilities of a property owner to a trespasser and the circumstances by which the owner of real property may be held liable. The bill seeks to protect property owners from undue liability and lawsuits by codifying the common law approach to these cases. Jury Service Law: Introduced by State Representatives Jim Butler (R - Oakwood) and Matthew Szollosi (D - Oregon), House Bill 268 modernizes and reorganizes components of Ohio Law related to jury service. The bill was crafted in conjunction with the Ohio Judicial Conference’s jury service committee and addresses a number of provisions that have been deemed as obsolete. Under the plan, commissioners of jurors would be permitted to authorize a deputy to perform any duty or class of duties that a commissioner has the authority to perform, while also eliminating a section of Code stating that jurors on a municipal court are to receive the same fees as those serving in a court of common pleas. Much of the Butler-Szollosi legislation stems from recommendations made by a 2009 judicial impact statement from the Ohio Judicial Conference. US Archives unveils Magna Carta after repairs WASHINGTON (AP) — A 715-year old copy of Magna Carta will soon return to public view at the National Archives after a conservation effort removed old patches and repaired weak spots in the English declaration of human rights that inspired the United States’ founding documents. The National Archives unveiled the medieval document Thursday in a specially humidified glass and metal case. It is the only original Magna Carta in the United States and will return to public display Feb. 17. A $13.5 million gift from philanthropist David Rubenstein funded the conservation, the custom-built case and a new gallery being renovated to host Magna Carta. Rubenstein bought the historic document at auction in 2007 for $21.3 million and sent it to the National Archives on a long-term loan. Rubenstein, a co-founder of the private equity firm The Carlyle Group, said he sought the document previously owned by Texas billionaire H. Ross Perot because he wanted to keep it from leaving the country. As a history buff, Ruben- stein has become an expert on Magna Carta’s legacy dating to 1215. That’s when noblemen came together to declare their rights to King John, including the first limits on arbitrary taxation that led to the principle of “no taxation without representation” and the right to a trial by jury. “This became something that set the trend for common law” in Britain and later in the United States as founding fathers referred back to Magna Carta, Rubenstein said. “If you read the early writings of Hamilton and Jefferson and Adams and Madison, many times they say it’s because of the Magna Carta that we’re doing this.” There are 17 surviving copies of Magna Carta. Fifteen are in Britain, and one is displayed at Australia’s parliament. The U.S. copy was one of four reissued in the year 1297. It still carries the wax seal of King Edward I of England, which is attached by a ribbon under the document. The 1297 document became the law of the land in England. YOUNGSTOWN — Ohio Attorney General Mike DeWine announced a new program to help local governments collect debt owed to them. The Local Government Collections Services Program will allow the Attorney General to collect debt on behalf of local governments. “Many local governments are feeling the strain that our economy has put on their budgets,” said DeWine. “Our Local Government Collections Services Program will help counties, cities, townships, and villages recover money they are owed and free up resources that otherwise would have been devoted to collections.” The Ohio Attorney General’s Collection Enforcement Section serves as the chief collection agent for all state agencies, boards, commissions, and universities. A recent change to state law allows the Attorney General to now collect debt on behalf of local governments. The program will allow local governments across Ohio to enter into a Memorandum of Understanding with the Attorney General’s Office to collect debt they are owed. The debt must be final and greater than $100. Examples of debt that can be collected under the program include statutory fines and court costs. Utilizing the program can allow local governments to offset a debtor’s state tax refund or lottery winnings to recover the debt owed. DeWine made the announcement at the Ohio Attorney General’s Youngstown Office, where the Local Government Collections Services Program will be operated. Because the program is funded by collection costs passed to the debtor, the program will bear no additional cost to the General Revenue Fund or Ohio taxpayers. “I encourage local governments to contact our office to take advantage of this new, helpful program,” DeWine said. Breakup is ruining her life Dear Dr. Brothers: Six months ago, my boyfriend dumped me and got together with another woman. I’ve had breakups before, but this one is different. I can’t seem to stop going over things in my mind and wondering what I could have done differently so that I wouldn’t have lost him. My friends are telling me it is time to move on, but I am stuck. I am constantly thinking of him and our relationship. Is this normal? Is there anything I can do to try to let go of the past? — L.T. Dear L.T.: It’s hard to know in advance which breakup will be taken in stride and which one will set you back. Unfortunately, a bad breakup can lead to a reluctance on your part to trust and fall in love again, and that would be a shame. So it would be a good idea to try to gain some control of your emotions as you put your life back together. Try talking to a counselor, and feel free to reject your friends’ timetable about when you should be “over it.” Everyone mourns the death of a relationship differently, but it must be at a smooth your own speed process so — when you are far, but I am able to absorb the dreading the loss and move on, actual dividit will be on your ing up of the own terms and house.

It’s been to hit you. So you both will need to come to grips with the fact that you will suffer, and agree to make it as easy on both of you as possible. I do think there are ways to do that if you both are motivated to be reasonable and open to compromise. One way would be for each of you to make lists of everything you absolutely want, don’t care one way or another, and will take straight to Goodwill. Then compare the lists, and you’ll be able to pinpoint the problem items. Some couples go around the house together and take turns picking an item, one at a time. You could do that, or use the “taking turns” method to resolve the problem items on your list, if that is the route you’ve chosen. You even could agree to swap certain things once a year. There are so many ways to work this out — the main ingredient is the motivation to cooperate and be as considerate as possible of each other’s feelings. I think you’re off to an excellent start. (c) 2012 by King Features Syndicate Groundhog wars: Rodents diverge on winter forecast PUNXSUTAWNEY, Pa. (AP) — Pennsylvania’s Punxsutawney Phil told people to prepare for six more weeks of winter on Thursday, making him the minority opinion among his groundhog brethren who seem to think that spring is coming early. But with such a mild and relatively snowless winter so far, who can tell the difference? Phil’s “prediction” came as he emerged from his lair to “see” his shadow on Gobbler’s Knob, a tiny hill in the town for which he’s named about 65 miles northeast of Pittsburgh. Yet groundhogs in at least five other states — West Virginia’s French Creek Freddie, Georgia’s Gen. Beauregard Lee, Michigan’s Woody the Woodchuck, Ohio’s Buckeye Chuck and New York’s Staten Island Chuck (full name: Charles G. Hogg) — did not see their shadows. Nor did Ontario’s Wiarton Willie or Nova Scotia’s Shubenacadie Sam. The Groundhog Day celebration is rooted in a German superstition that says if a hibernating animal casts a shadow on Feb. 2, the Christian holiday of Candlemas, winter will last an- other six weeks. If no shadow is seen, legend says, spring will come early. Temperatures were near freezing when Phil emerged at dawn — unseasonably warm for Punxsutawney — and were forecast to climb into the mid-40s in a winter that’s brought little snow and only a few notably cold days to much of the East. Organizers expected 15,000 to 18,000 people to witness the prognostication ceremony that was held just before 7:30 a.m. And the ceremony is largely that: Phil’s prediction is determined ahead of time by the Punxsutawney Groundhog Club’s Inner Circle, a group who dons top hats and tuxedos and decides in advance what the furry creature will predict. Pennsylvania Gov. Tom Corbett was among the spectators this year. Those who couldn’t make it to Gobbler’s Knob could follow the groundhog on Twitter and Facebook, or watch a webcast of the event on his website. “What started as a small gathering in 1887 has now evolved into tens of thousands of visitors from around the nation and even the world coming to Punxsutawney to participate in this time-honored Groundhog Day tradition,” Corbett said. Phil has now seen his shadow 100 times and hasn’t seen it just 16 times since 1886, according to the Inner Circle. There are no records for the remaining years. The tradition attained a large following with the 1993 Bill Murray comedy “Groundhog Day,” in which a weatherman covering the event must relive the day over and over again. Before the movie came out, Phil was lucky to have an audience of 2,500, said Mike Johnston, vice president of the Inner Circle. And while the group has records of Phil’s predictions dating back to 1886, what it doesn’t have is a tally of whether Phil was right. Johnston said the reason is simple: “He’s never been wrong.” Phil is “incapable of error,” he said, because the groundhog smartly avoids being sitespecific in his prognostications. If Phil predicts six more weeks of winter, said Johnston, “I guarantee you someone’s going to have six more weeks of winter.” NATO ministers consider speeded-up Afghan drawdown BRUSSELS (AP) — Defense Secretary Leon Panetta said Thursday that NATO allies have agreed broadly to step back from the lead combat role in Afghanistan and let local forces take their place as early as next year, a shortened timetable that startled officials and members of Congress. Obama administration officials scrambled with varying degrees of clarity to explain that Panetta’s announcement Anderson McDaniel Funeral Home Locally Owned & Operated 209 3rd Street Racine, Ohio 740-949-2300 Adam McDaniel – James Anderson Directors en route to the NATO defense ministers’ meeting here that he hoped combat troops would move into a training and assistance role beginning in 2013 was not a policy change, but an optimistic look at the already-established timetable. Panetta said he told a meeting of his 27 NATO counterparts that he hoped Afghan forces would be ready to take the combat lead countrywide sometime in 2013, with international troops shifting to a support role after a decade of inconclusive combat. That means Afghans would bear the main burden of offensive action, with U.S. and other Racine American Legion Turkey & Ham Dinner Contact us today about Pre-Arrangement Planning Sunday, February 5 11 - 1 Carry-out Available www.andersonmcdaniel.com 1-740-949-2044 foreign troops assisting, he said. “There was consensus on this” among the allied defense ministers meeting at NATO headquarters, Panetta told reporters, adding that no final decision was made. Other officials, however, said there were some differences of opinion on whether 2013 was the right time to make this change. Few besides Panetta were willing to discuss the matter publicly; the ministers were due to resume their talks on Friday. Views on what might take place in 2013 seemed to shift throughout the day as the ministers met behind closed doors. NATO’s secretary-general, Anders Fogh Rasmussen, told reporters in the morning that NATO expects all Afghan provinces to have been handed over to Afghan control by mid-2013, and “from that time, the role of our troops will gradually change from combat to support.” But by day’s end Rasmussen said it was too early to say whether that shift for NATO forces from combat to support will happen in 2013. “It depends very much on the situation on the ground,” he said, adding that the issue will be a central topic for discussion when President Barack Obama hosts a NATO summit meeting in Chicago in May on the Afghan endgame. The summit also will deal with the tough question of the ultimate size of — and international financial support for — Afghan security forces beyond 2014, when the bulk of foreign forces are scheduled to leave. A related unresolved question is the number of U.S. and other foreign troops that might remain behind and what missions they would be assigned. Panetta caused a stir when he said Wednesday that he foresaw American and NATO forces switching from a combat role to a support role by mid- to late-2013. He said this was a natural transition in line with the NATO goal, announced in November 2010, of having every Afghan province placed in government control by the end of 2014. Until that remark, however, it had been unclear how soon the U.S. believed it could largely end its combat mission in Afghanistan. �Friday, February 3, 2012 www.mydailysentinel.com Ohio Valley Forecast Obituary Local stocks AEP (NYSE) — 39.57 Akzo (NASDAQ) — 18.26 Ashland Inc.

Him I know and love, and in Him I find respite and solace from the stress and trouble of the world. Presumably, most other Christians will agree with my assessment of the Lord’s steadfast and comforting presence, as well as of His grace and power, too. Yet, it occurs to me no one is quite as inclined to stand up for Jesus the way they do for their political convictions, and nothing so Prayer moves the mighty muscles of the omnipotent The above quote was by a minister named E. M. Bounds, a man of devoted and disciplined prayer himself. I read his description of the value of prayer during the time of my first pastorate thirty-plus years ago, and have never forgotten it. As one considers what the preacher wrote, the value of prayer to God cannot be mistaken. Yet, it is this pivotal spiritual asset granted by God that is so often neglected by the people of the church. Prayer in any particular moment is the approach of our mind and heart, and soul and spirit to the very throne of Almighty God. The Lord graciously invites us to approach Him in prayer. As a matter of fact, He urges us to approach Him by way of prayer. Since our Lord is so open to our praying, we should consider why we should pray. The following include reasons learned, on the bases of Biblical truth and personal experience, by many of the church who spend daily time in prayer with God. The prime reason is that through prayer we are enabled to experience constant contact with God. “Pray without ceasing,” was Apostle Paul’s urging. If he had not thought it possible, he would not have written it. We can absolutely stay in a constant spiritual posture of prayer as we are willing to set our heart to the task. Since it is true, consider I did.

Now I ask you: what’s wrong with this picture?!? Why is it in this 21st Century we’re still so naïve as to imagine there exists another man or woman who possesses the necessary “gifts and graces” to heal our land, when the problems we’re experiencing all derive from our own inherent sinful dispositions?!? Is there a man or woman alive we imagine or perceive to be so profoundly enlightened and empowered as to be able to save America from our “fellow Americans?” Get real, folks! Now, you and I both know Jesus Christ is the One who can save us from ourselves, and God alone knows how much longer we-as-a-nation can survive without Him. In the beginning America’s greatness derived from its strong belief in God and its adherence to Biblical precepts; this is a well-documented fact. Now, then, the only way America can truly recover her original greatness is by turning back to God. It’s a matter of cause-and-effect, choice-and-consequence. As Americans we’ve made some bad choices; it’s inevitable that we suffer the consequences. There’s a verse in the Bible which says much the same thing: “those who sow the wind will reap the whirlwind” (Hosea 8:7). Consider yourselves warned: God neither plays games, nor will He be mocked (Gal. 6:7). So, what are our priorities? God? Or man? The Word, or the world? It has to be one or the other, never both. It’s time Christians “man-up” (male/female, you know what I mean!) Another thing: as Americans we need to stop expecting God to bless America! Why should The Almighty favor us above some other Country, when so many American Christians pledge more of their allegiance and energy to “the Flag” than they devote to Him? Whatever became of our gratitude for the Lord’s blessings, our humility vis-à-vis His holiness, our repenting of our manifold sins and transgressions against our Creator?!? To say the least, we’re in the Lord’s debt, and in no real position to make demands of Him. Once more I say, “America is too young to die!” Unfortunately, I’m painfully aware of evil in our land and apathy in our churches. May those who love God and Country—stand up!

Search the Scriptures “…these were more noble…they searcned the scriptures daily…” As we continue searching the Scriptures for knowledge of the “faith” with which God is pleased, we re-visit an Old Testament character. God told Jeroboam that He would take 10 of the Israelite tribes away from Solomon and his descendants, and give them to Jeroboam “if thou wilt hearken unto all that I command thee, and wilt walk in my ways, and do that is right in my sight, to keep my statutes and my commandments,…” [1 Kings 11:28-40]. God assured Jeroboam of a bright future, if he obeyed God. Something happened in Jeroboam’s reign that destroyed that bright future; at the end of his reign and throughout the rest of the Old Testament, he is described as “Jeroboam, who made Israel to sin.” Jeroboam feared “if this people go up to do sacrifice in the house of the Lord at Jerusalem, then shall the heart of this people turn again unto their lord, even unto Rehoboam king of Judah, and they shall kill me, and go again to Rehoboam king of Judah” [v.27]. Jeroboam devised a plan whereby the people would not go to Jerusalem to worship: “the king…made two calves of gold, and said unto them, It is too much for you to go up to Jerusalem: behold thy gods, O Israel, which brought thee up out of the land of Egypt. And he set the one in Bethel, and the other put he in Dan… and he made an house of high places, and made priests of the lowest of the people, which were not of the sons of Levi. And Jeroboam ordained a feast in the eighth month, on the fifteenth day of the month, like unto the feast that is in Judah,…so he offered upon the altar which he had made in Bethel,…even in the month which he had devised of his own heart;” [vs.28,29,31,32,33]. “And this thing became a sin:…” [v.30a]. So, in the search for knowledge of the “faith” that pleases God, here is an important principle: From Jeroboam’s actions, we learn God doesn’t permit any additions, subtractions, substitutions, or deviations from the commands He gives man. This principle is reinforced throughout the Bible. When Adam and Eve subtracted God’s command to not eat of the tree of knowledge of good and evil, hear God’s question to Adam: “…Hast thou eaten of the tree, whereof I commanded thee that thou shouldest not eat?” [Genesis 3:11b; a rhetorical question, for God knew the answer]. God commends Noah with these words: “Thus did Noah according to all that God commanded him, so did he” [Genesis 6:22]. As Moses was about to make the tabernacle, he was admonished by God, “See, saith he, that thou make all things according to the pattern shewed to thee in the mount” [Hebrews 8:5b]. Thinking still of Moses, we ask, “Is God really serious about strict obedience to Him?” Look at 2 events, both involving the providing of water for the wilderness wanderers: “…there was no water for the people to drink, wherefore the people strove with Moses, and said, Give us water that we may drink… The Lord said to Moses, Go on before the people, and take with thee of the elders of Israel; …and thou shalt smite the rock, and there shall come water out of it, that the people may drink. And Moses did so in the sight of the elders of Israel” [Exodus 17:1b,2a,5,6]; “And there was no water for the congregation:…and the people strove with Moses…neither is there any water to drink… And the Lord spake to Moses, saying,…speak ye unto the rock before their eyes; and it shall give forth his water…And he [Moses] said unto them, Hear now, ye rebels; must we fetch you water out of this rock? And Moses lifted up his hand, and with his rod he smote the rock twice; and the water came out abundantly,…” [Numbers 20:2-5,7,8,10b,11]. At the first event, Moses followed God’s commands; at the second, he did not. Note in the second event, Moses did not speak to the rock, but to the people. In the second event, God made no mention of striking the rock; Moses struck the rock twice. Look at God’s judgment in v.12: “Because ye believed me not to sanctify me in the eyes of the children of Israel, therefore ye shall not bring this congregation into the land which I have given them.” God equated disobedience to His commands with unbelief. God also says He is not honored when His commands are changed or disregarded. This important principle is repeated in Hebrews 3:17-20. Readers, men may loudly proclaim that obeying God isn’t really important, that mankind may make up any method of salvation, any method of worship, any innovation, and attempt to cram all under the umbrella of “faith.” God has never accepted, and will not now accept, such attempts. Remember the 2 vital principles discussed in today’s column. Bring your Bible, search the Scriptures with the church of Christ, as we seek to know and obey God’s way.

(AP) — West Virginia continues to reap the benefits of recruits who follow in others’ footsteps. Deontay McManus of Baltimore’s Dunbar High School signed a national letter of intent with the Mountaineers on Wednesday. It’s the same school that produced WVU star Tavon Austin. The parade of recruits from Miami’s Miramar High School continued with the signing of wide receiver Devonte Mathis. He’s following Miramar alums Geno Smith and Stedman Bailey to WVU. But the Mountaineers couldn’t land Miramar’s biggest prize defensive back Tracy Howard, who signed with Miami. Orange Bowl champion West Virginia signed 21 recruits 12 on offense. Eight are from the state of Florida, including four wide receivers. They add to the 20 players from the Sunshine State already on the roster. “West Virginia’s always done well Kyle Robertson/Columbus Dispatch/MCT photo Urban Meyer is introduced as the new head football coach of Ohio State University in Columbus, Ohio, Monday, November 28, 2011. Meyer closes deal on 25 recruits in top-5 class COLUMBUS (AP) — When opposing recruiters brought up Ohio State’s bowl ban and other problems, new Buckeyes coach Urban Meyer fought back. “It was a two-week assault,” Meyer said after signing 25 players in what many experts have termed a class that is top-5 in the country. “But instead of waiting for that to come, we went after it. We were extremely pro-active.” Despite a 2012 bowl ban, NCAA probation and recruiting limitations, the forced resignation of Jim Tressel and the most losses (seven) for the Buckeyes since 1897, Meyer’s first recruiting class was an unqualified success. The headline-grabbing position was the defensive line, particularly end, where the Buckeyes locked up Adolphus Washington (6-foot-4, 230 pounds from Cincinnati), Noah Spence (6-4, 245 out of Harrisburg, Pa.) and Se’von Pittman (64, 260 from McKinley High in Canton, Ohio). “I call them the prize of the recruiting class,” said Meyer, who won two national championships in six seasons at Florida before working last year for ESPN while sorting through health concerns. Spence ended up in Columbus despite verbally committing to Penn State one of four Ohio State recruits who switched allegiance from the Nittany Lions while Pittman initially indicated he would go to Michigan State. Two others started out by committing to Notre Dame and another to Wisconsin, yet all ended up teammates under Meyer. “It’s always going to start up front,” said Luke Fickell, defensive coordinator and linebackers coach and last year’s interim coach. “If you’re going to start a class, it’s up front, whether it’s on the offensive or defensive line. The excitement starts there.” Those three signings got the attention of national recruiting observers. “As with any class at this level, there is a lot to be excited about, but the defensive line stands out as being special,” said Scott Kennedy, director of scouting and recruiting for Scout.com. Meyer also grabbed top running back prospect Bri’onte Dunn and big offensive linemen Taylor Decker (6-8, 315) and Kyle See DEAL ‌| 8 Sports Schedule Friday, February 3 Boys Basketball Wahama at Eastern, 6:30 p.m. Meigs at Vinton County, 6:30 p.m. Southern at Federal Hocking, 6:30 p.m. South Gallia at Trimble, 6:30 p.m. Gallia Academy at Jackson, 5 p.m. Coal Grove at River Valley, 6:30 p.m. Cross Lanes at Ohio Valley Christian, 7:30 p.m. Montcalm at Hannan, 7:30 p.m. Saturday, February 4 Girls Basketball Huntington Local at Eastern, 2 p.m. South Gallia at Symmes Valley, 1 p.m. Gallia Academy at Chillicothe, 6 p.m. Wayne at Point Pleasant, 7:30 p.m. Boys Basketball Wellston at Eastern, 6:30 p.m. River Valley at Meigs, 6:30 p.m. Wheelersburg at Gallia Academy, 5 p.m. Wrestling Gallia Academy at John Deno Invitational, 10 a.m. Monday, February 6 Girls Basketball Eastern at Federal Hocking, 6 p.m. Wellston at Meigs, 6 p.m. Southern at Belpre, 6 p.m. Symmes Valley at River Valley, 6 p.m. Waterford at Wahama, 6 p.m. Tuesday, February 7 Girls Basketball Ohio Valley Christian at South Gallia, 6 p.m. Sissonville at Point Pleasant, 5:30 p.m. Boys Basketball Warren at Gallia Academy, 5 p.m. Miller at Eastern, 6 p.m. Trimble at Southern, 6 p.m. Ohio Valley Christian at South Gallia, 7:30 p.m. Nelsonville-York at River Valley, 6 p.m. Sissonville at Point Pleasant, 7:30 p.m. Wahama at Belpre, 6 p.m. Hannan at WVHIT, TBA in Florida,” Holgorsen said. “The exposure we got down there I certainly don’t think hurt.” While Austin is known for his speed, the 6-foot-1 McManus is more of a physical wide receiver. He led Dunbar to back-to-back state championships and chose the Mountaineers over 18 other scholarship offers, among them national champion Alabama, Clemson, Michigan, Ohio State and Oregon. Although McManus didn’t return a telephone message, his coach at Dunbar, Lawrence Smith, said Austin’s connection to the Mountaineers had a lot to do with McManus’ signing. The pair share the same jersey number. “He really looks up to Tavon and it’s going to be a good deal for him,” Smith said Wednesday. McManus was a two-time all-state selection on defense. He caught 40 passes for 590 yards and six TDs this season and was solid on returns, much like Austin, the nation’s all-purpose yardage leader. “We’re fired up about getting him over here as soon as we can to teach him what to do and to get him out there,” Holgorsen said. “Physically, I can tell you he’s ready to play at the next level.” The 6-2 Mathis caught 35 passes for 552 yards and eight scores. In 2010 he played quarterback, running back and wide receiver. “He did a whole bunch of things,” Holgorsen said. “And you talk about getting as many guys as you can with that body type that can play that many different positions, you’ve got a guy that’s going to be extremely productive.” Holgorsen’s first recruiting class at West Virginia has two players from Texas. Two other players from Texas were added to the roster in January and are enrolled for the spring semester, including 6-4 quarterback Ford Childress.

As he worked the room the way he did for a decade as Ohio State’s coach, delighting students and faculty members, school trustees and Akron’s president with stories of past successes and plans for the future, Tressel felt like he had come back home. “This,” he said, “is a second chance.” Tressel is back on campus. He’s starting over where he began. Tressel, forced to resign in disgrace last May amid a cash-fortattoos scandal at Ohio State that toppled the football powerhouse, was introduced Thursday as Akron’s new vice president of strategic engagement, a position created just for him. Tressel, who started his coaching career as an undergraduate assistant for the Zips in 1975, will earn a base salary of $200,000 per year, more than $3 million less than he made during the last of 10 years guiding the Buckeyes. Tressel will begin his new job on May 1. “I feel fortunate that I got this opportunity,” Tressel said following a packed news conference on campus unlike any in the school’s history. “It’s going to be a fun one.” In his new position, Tressel, who said he has no interest in coaching in the NFL, will work with Akron’s students, alumni and community organizations on a variety of issues. Although he’s not officially on the clock, Tressel met with student leaders before the news conference, telling them he was committed to using his Northeast Ohio connections to build relationships between the school and community. “The first thing I’ve got to do is listen and learn,” said Tressel, who helped Akron in its search for a new football coach. “I’m just on the team.” Tressel, 59, is not permitted to have any direct involvement with the school’s athletic department, one of the conditions of the fiveyear, show-cause sanction he was given by the NCAA following its investigation into the Ohio State mess.

(AP) — Think this New York vs. New England thing is a product of the modern sports era? Prithee, fuggedaboudit. “It doesn’t quite go back to the glaciers, but it’s close,” said William Fowler, author and history professor at Northeastern University in Boston. The regional rivalry long predates the Super Bowl matchup, Giants vs. Patriots, or baseball’s Yankees vs. Red Sox. New York and its neighbors to the east have bad blood stretching all the way back to Colonial America, when New England militiamen viewed “Yorkers” as blasphemous, profane drunks, while their counterparts next door considered the men of the Massachusetts Bay colony to be Puritan-raised prudes who didn’t know how to have a good time, even going so far as to ban Christmas in Boston during a 22-year period in in the 1600s. “New Englanders, even by middle of the 18th century, are so strictly religious that you find them picking fights for cursing in military camps and ganging up on people and beating them up for not following the Sabbath. That certainly didn’t help relations,” said Stuart Lilie, director of interpretation at upstate New York’s Fort Ticonderoga, near the Vermont state line. The disdain the colonies held for each other actually had its roots in the 1600s, Fowler said. That’s when the Dutch established their neighboring New Netherlands colony, and from there the profit-driven, liberal-minded Dutch competed with strait-laced New Englanders for dominance of the fur trade with Native Americans, with the two sides backing rival tribes. Even after the English took over the Dutch colony for good and renamed it New York in the 1670s, the Dutch influence remained strong for generations, especially in the provincial trading outpost the English renamed Albany. Dutch traders sold guns and tomahawks to France’s Indian allies, who used those weapons in raids against New England settlements. The New England troops carried those bitter memories with them when they mustered by the thousands in Albany during the French and Indian War (1755-63). With its numerous taverns and “camp followers,” the old Dutch settlement along the Hudson River was viewed as a veritable Sin City by pious New Englanders, especially those in Massachusetts, which assigned chaplains to each militia regiment. “These chaplains were descendants of Puritans, and they were not loathe to condemn sin when they saw it, and they saw it in Albany,” Fowler said. The regional rivalry even played a role in inspiring the song, “Yankee Doodle.” Historians credit a British physician with writing the lyrics in the late 1750s after he witnessed the comic efforts of some of the ragged New England recruits to perform military drills while mustering outside Albany. After marching north to British forts, tensions between provincial soldiers stuck in the isolated, squalid conditions of the frontier encampments sometimes boiled over into outright violence, with brawls breaking out between New York and New England regiments. One such episode rivaled some of the dust-ups known to erupt in the stands at Fenway Park and Yankee Stadium whenever the rival teams are visiting. According to the account of a New England officer serving at Fort William Henry, New York and Massachusetts troops clashed over who would pay for a glass of beer. The Massachusetts officer described the Yorkers swarming from their tents armed with swords and clubs “like hornets See BACK |‌ 10 �Friday, February 3, 2012 Legals Legals PUBLIC NOTICE NOTICE: is hereby given that on Saturday February 04, 2012 at 10:00 a.m., a public sale will be held at 211 W.

The Daily Sentinel • Page 7 www.mydailysentinel.com �Friday, February 3, 2012 The Daily Sentinel • Page 8 www.mydailysentinel.com Recruits Deal From Page 6 “It’s a priority,” Holgorsen said. “We’re going to go there. It’s got to be a good fit and there’s got to be a reason for us to do that.” Three players signed with the Mountaineers despite the departures of three assistant coaches who recruited them. Defensive coordinator Jeff Casteel, defensive line coach Bill Kirelawich and defensive backs coach David Lockwood joined Rich Rodriguez’s staff at Arizona last month. Two of the three vacancies have been filled and Holgorsen has said he’ll announce the coaching responsibilities once his staff is complete. Three of the recruits are defensive linemen and two are linebackers. Holgorsen said WVU’s defense will switch from its longtime 3-3-5 scheme likely to a 3-4 for next fall, and he wanted to recruit more “edge rush” players who will fit that change. Holgorsen signed four recruits apiece at defensive back and on the offensive line. Two are running backs and one is a tight end. “We were able to get a little bit of everything,” he said. WE NEED STORIES for our upcoming Faith Based Magazine From Page 6 Dodson (6-6, 310). The Buckeyes didn’t get everybody they wanted, however. The player considered by some as the best in the state, offensive lineman Kyle Kalis of Lakewood St. Edward, withdrew his original commitment to Ohio State during the middle of the school’s NCAA problems and decided on rival Michigan. On Wednesday, Wolverines coach Brady Hoke called Kalis “a road grader.” In addition, Ohio State only signed one quarterback former Cleveland Glenville signal-caller Cardale Jones, who spent last year at Fork Union (Va.) Military Academy. The new coaching staff will have just four scholarship quarterbacks on the roster for the 2012 season, although one is Braxton Miller who started almost all of the 2011 season that finished 6-7. Still, it was a surprising bumper crop, particularly since the recruiting class ranked somewhere between 15 and 25 in the nation in most publications’ evaluations before Meyer was hired on Nov. 29. Ohio State is serving three years of NCAA-mandated probation for failing to monitor Tressel, who played ineligible players during the 2010 season who had taken cash and discounted tattoos from the subject of a federal drugtrafficking probe. As part of their NCAA penalties, the Buckeyes were docked three football scholarships each of the next three years. The 25 signees put the Buckeyes at 81, according to Meyer. Six of the players who signed Wednesday count against last year’s recruit total, plus Meyer hinted that other players may have dropped out, transferred or will not play due to medical reasons. Many people who follow recruiting closely were stunned by Ohio State’s success. “It’s been an amazing performance by Urban Meyer who has re-emphasized his ability to attract elite, national championshipcaliber talent,” said Allen Tressel From Page 6 COMING OUT LATE FEBRUARY If you have a testimonial story, Life-changing event about yourself or even a poem that you would like to share, please email: mdtnews@mydailytribune.com Limit your story to 500 - 750 words please. Wallace, national editor for SuperPrep.com. “This class is strong across the board and from (my) perspective, the best Buckeye recruiting effort in the last 10 years.” Meyer repeatedly tried to rein in some of the hype about the incoming class and his role in bringing it in. “I keep hearing this is a top 5, top 3, top 10 class,” he said. “That doesn’t’ mean much to me. What really matters is what happens two, three years from now.” Ohio State handed out only four-year scholarships as part of a Big Ten initiative to meet terms of the new four-year rule (as opposed to the previous standard one-year agreement) established recently by the NCAA. Kennedy expressed surprise at how big a year Meyer and Ohio State had. “I’ve had to add an exception to the rule that it takes a full year for a new coach to make an impact,” he said. “Urban Meyer’s impact at Ohio State this quickly has been unprecedented.” burn confirmed Tressel will not be allowed to have contact with recruits if he is not a “countable coach.” However, Tressel’s name alone is sure to give Akron, with an enrollment of 29,000 and plans to grow to 40,000 students, a major boost in name recognition and his presence will certainly help in recruiting athletes and other students. “It’s exciting,” Dan Cooper, a 20-year-old senior from Wadsworth, Ohio said as he browsed his Twitter and Facebook accounts while taking a break in the student union. “He’s a big famous name and I think he’s going to bring a lot of positive attention to Akron despite all the negative things that happened the last few months at Ohio State. “Everyone is excited around campus right now.” Tressel earned his master’s degree at the school in 1977. “Life is about who you are and who you are with,” he said. “It’s always important where you can come back to the place that gave you your first chance.” Akron president Luis M. Proenza said he had no misgiving about his decision to hire Tressel, who remains popular in his home state. “Look at the man. Look at what he has done,” Proenza said. “Look at the thousands of lives he has impacted. We knew that was the asset. The opportunity. And we wanted that to be available. There was no question in my mind that for the university, for the community, for Northeast Ohio, for the 30,000 students at Akron, this will make a difference.” Proenza said Tressel was very helpful in the school’s coaching search, which resulted in the Zips hiring former Auburn coach Terry Bowden. Since then, Tressel and Proenza remained in contact, discussing the possibility of joining forces. “Our vision for student success was exceptionally aligned,” Proenza said. Accompanied to the news conference by his wife, Ellen, Tressel wore a navy blue blazer and Friday’s TV Guide gold tie Akron’s colors with a logo of Zippy, the school’s Kangaroo mascot. Tressel was typically smooth as he answered direct questions regarding his role in Ohio State’s fall. Tressel said he has no regrets, but he did acknowledge wishing he had handled some things differently. He has admitted to lying to NCAA investigators about his knowledge of Ohio State players receiving improper benefits. The scandal led to the Buckeyes, who are now coached by Urban Meyer, to a one-year bowl ban and a reduction in scholarships. “I think you always go back, whether it was a game you coached or a series of things that occurred and you always go back and say here’s what I could have done better,” he said. “In this type thing, working with young people, you can use your experience. Just like we did talking about special teams. If the right guard didn’t block the guy and we had the punt blocked, we wouldn’t have lost the championship. “You always go back and you probably learn more and can teach better from some of your shortcomings.” Tressel said since leaving Ohio State that he has finished reading 30 of 100 books he pledged to finish. He also joked that his wife was anxious for him to return to work. “Ellen wanted me to get out of the house,” he cracked. “I mean, how often can you cut the grass?” Tressel served as a replay consultant last season for the Indianapolis Colts. He twice met with team owner Jim Irsay about the team’s head coaching position but didn’t get the job, and added that he has no current plans to coach again. For now, he is committed to Akron. “I don’t really have any interest in coaching in the NFL,” Tressel said. “The commitment I’ve made to any place I’ve gone is that I was going to work every day like I was going to be there forever. I’ll be coaching students every day. I’m an educator. “I’m going to work as if this is the last place I’m ever going to work. I’m excited about being a Zip.” �Friday, February 3, 2012 The Daily Sentinel • Page 9 www.mydailysentinel.com Saturday, February 3, 2012 ComiCs/EntErtainmEnt Comics BLONDIE Dean Young/Denis Lebrun BEETLE BAILEY FUNKY WINKERBEAN HAGAR THE HORRIBLE HI & LOIS MUTTS Mort Walker Today’s Answers Tom Batiuk Chris Browne Brian and Greg Walker THE LOCKHORNS William Hoest Patrick McDonnell Jacquelene Bigar’s 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, Feb. 3, 2012: This year, deal with your strong feelings. You won’t take on what others project on you. This clarity will make your life work better. Use caution with your funds. You easily could lose money, have your wallet stolen or even be swindled. Your creativity soars, whatever your focus might be. If you are single, you are a magnet to those who are lighthearted and playful. If you are attached, sometimes the two of you will behave in a manner that is reminiscent of new lovers. CANCER pushes you hard to do what he or she wants. 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 Think before you speak, as you could put your foot in your mouth with ease. You might mean well, but your subconscious becomes more activated and will remain so. Make it a habit to choose your words carefully. Tonight: Join friends. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHH Juggle your finances with care. You could find that what seems clear to you is hogwash to another person. Test ideas on others, as you could be subject to odd thinking right now, especially if you’re born at the beginning of the sign. Tonight: Nap, then decide. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHHH Someone seems to test your temper more often than not. You wonder when to say “that is enough.” There is no time like the present to initiate a change. Honor who you are. Don’t accept people going past your boundaries. Tonight: Be spontaneous. CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHH Continue being low-key, especially as your mind weighs the pros and cons of a personal situation. Ask for feedback only from people you respect; otherwise, don’t dare. You sense a different perspective and an opening up coming. Tonight: You will know what to do. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHHH You might need to rethink your plans. A meeting results in common goals and support. You might be rather taken aback by everything winding up as you had wished. Extremes dominate. Tonight: Only what you want to do! VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHHH It could be close to impossible to pursue any other course than Ad goes Visit ushere at www.mydailysentinel.com Horoscope the immediate one. You take the lead, whether you are in charge or not. Be aware that there could be a backlash that might not be too pleasant. Keeping the appropriate image might be very important. Tonight: To the wee hours. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHHH You might want to evaluate what has been a problem once more. You’ll easily find a solution and realize how irrelevant the issue might have been. By getting less caught up in black-and-white thinking, your mind opens up. Tonight: Take off ASAP. Adventure lies ahead. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHHH Visualize a deeper partnership that allows greater give-and-take. You could be set back by a conversation from a while ago. Why not try it again? The results could be beneficial. Remain optimistic that logic and good will will prevail. Tonight: You are happiest with few people. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHHH You find that others insist on being on center stage. Let them, as you won’t be able to change their minds. If you want to defer to someone else, do. Your ability to read between the lines helps you get along with demanding people. Tonight: Don’t be surprised if someone singles you out. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHHH You might believe you have put in enough effort — you have. Be more forthright and direct. You think one thing, only to discover you are wrong. Lighten up about what is happening within your immediate crowd. Be willing to forge a new trail. Tonight: It gets better as the night gets older. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHHH Your mind-set goes with the day and the pending weekend. Tame your expansive imagination and allow yourself to penetrate a project or situation in your daily life. You could be surprised by how quickly you come up with an answer. Tonight: Let it all hang out. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHH Tension builds, encouraging an even more positive outlook on the weekend. You might need a walk or a break to center yourself in the afternoon. You enter a new cycle where your imagination and resourcefulness are empowered. Let it happen; don’t fight the inevitable. Tonight: Plans could change.

(AP) — DeAndre Kane scored 13 points as Marshall defeated Tulane 63-44 Wednesday night in a Conference USA game to snap a fourgame losing streak. The margin of victory was the Thundering Herd’s largest in the series while the Green Wave’s point total was a season low. Dennis Tinnon grabbed 12 rebounds to lead Marshall (14-8, 5-3), which had a 45-22 edge off the glass. The Thundering Herd came in tied for third in the NCAA (41.4 per game) and had 20 offensive boards to Tulane’s five. The Green Wave (14-8, 2-6) led 10-5 at the 15:41 mark, then made only two baskets in the next 13:24 as Marshall built a 33-14 lead. After an 8-2 Tulane run, the Thundering Herd led 35-22 at the break. Marshall maintained a cushion of at least 10 points in the second half. Ricky Tarrant and Jordan Callahan led the Green Wave with 11 points apiece. DISH Network delivers more of what you want for less than you’d expect. Packages starting at Now Playing on DISH Network!

New York Knicks’ tickets cost more than double the league’s average and five times as much as seats for the Memphis Grizzlies. Knicks tickets averaged $117.47 after a 32.5 percent increase and these figures don’t even include premium seats. The Los Angeles Lakers were second at $99.25 after a 4.2 percent hike, and Boston third at $68.55 while leaving its average flat. Chicago was fourth at $68.37 with a 3.3 percent increase, followed by the Miami Heat at $67 following a 10.7 percent jump. Memphis has the lowest average at $22.95, just below Washington ($23.64). Thirteen teams cut their average, and seven were flat. The average non-premium ticket price was $77.36 in the NFL last season, $26.91 in Major League Baseball last year and $57.10 in the NHL this season, according to TMR’s surveys. TMR’s Fan Cost Index for the NBA, which includes four average-price tickets, two small draft beers, four small soft drinks, four hot dogs, parking, two programs and two adult-size caps, averaged $301.46 for the league, up 4.5. The FCI ranged from $608.78 for the Knicks to $192.80 for the Grizzlies. Bobcats topple Northern Illinois, 67-58 DeKALB, Ill. (AP) — Walter Offutt scored 19 points and Ohio started the second half on a 12-1 run in a 67-58 victory over Northern Illinois on Wednesday night. Reggie Keely added 13 points and Nick Kellogg 12 for the Bobcats (18-4, 6-2 MidAmerican), who won their fifth in a row. Jon Smith had eight rebounds and Ivo Baltic six assists. Antone Christian’s 15 points led the Huskies (2-18, 1-7), who dropped their fifth straight game. Abdel Nader added 12 for his 11th game in double figures as a freshman. Ohio led 27-26 at the break before Kellogg hit back-to-back 3-pointers to start the Bobcats’ game-turning run. Ricardo Johnson, Stevie Taylor and Keely added baskets, while all the Huskies could manage was a free throw by Nader, as Ohio took a 39-27 edge. Ohio’s lead topped out at 58-38 on two free throws by Keely with 6:11 left. Back From Page 6 out of their nests, swearing and cursing!” “If the devil and all he could raise had been let loose, it wouldn’t look more dreadful,” the officer wrote. Two decades later, New Yorkers and New Englanders were able to set aside their differences most of them, anyway and go to war again, this time against the British. In the winter of 1775-76, New York aided American Col. Henry Knox’s effort to haul dozens of artillery pieces seized at British-held Fort Ticonderoga to Boston’s Dorchester Heights, a feat that forced the redcoats to evacuate the city on March 17, 1776. New Englanders returned the favor the following year, when thousands of militiamen from Massachusetts and Connecticut rushed to northern New York to block a force of redcoats and German mercenaries advancing on Albany. The reinforcements played a major role in the American defeat of the British at Saratoga in October 1777. “There are times when regional rivalries are put aside in favor of survival,” said Joe Craig, a ranger at Saratoga National Historical Park. “They realized it was in their best interest to do it.” Good luck finding a Giants or Patriots fan willing to forget about the rivalry this Sunday.
