Meeting to be held for Neighborhood Revitalization Grant
By Sarah Hawley

shawley@heartlandpublications.com

RUTLAND — A second public meeting for the
Neighborhood Revitalization Grant application will
be held on February 21.
The meeting is the second of three required before
the application can be submitted. The meeting will
take place at 7 p.m. at the
Rutland Civic Center.
The
Neighborhood
Revitalization grant is a

Community Development
Block Grant (CDBG) in
the amount of $300,000
which is awarded annually throughout the state.
Each year, 10 communities
throughout Ohio receive
the grant.
Over the past several
years, Racine, Syracuse,
Pomeroy and Middleport
have all applied for the
Neighborhood Revitalization grant, with Racine’s
projects currently under
way.

The Neighborhood Revitalization program is targeted to distressed communities or areas of Ohio which
have a low to moderate income (LMI) population of
at least 60 percent.
A confidential income
survey is being conducted
to determine the eligibility
of the community on this
factor since the new census
data will not be available
in time for the application.
Staff members from the
Grants Office are conduct-

ing these surveys door to
door and over the phone, as
well as during the meetings.
The grant is competitive,
with several factors contributing to the communities
final points total.
Points may be earned
by how closely the chosen
projects match the survey
of village resident thoughts,
matching funds and other
projects.
Matching money can
include anything from donations to formula money

interested in enrolling
in any of these programs
should submit their applications along with all of
the other required documents to the School of Allied Health at Rio Grande
before the deadline dates.

participate in before final
selection is made for that
particular program. The
number of students accepted into each program

this program, students
take their occupational
therapy classes on the

one or two days a week
but are able to take their
general education courses

at Rio Grande. The clinical
courses are scheduled in
this area.

program, but they should
know that they need to

where their food comes
from and the critical role
Ohio livestock farmers

play in feeding Ohio and
the world,” said David
White, OLC executive

the curriculum would be
enhanced with the addition of free smart board
lessons, and we hope this
resource now available

DES MOINES, Iowa (AP)
— Wild arm swings, sharp
robotic turns, pulsing fist
pumps.
Michelle Obama busted out
a few new moves Thursday
to mark the second anniversary of her campaign against
childhood obesity with a few
new friends — 14,000 or so,
it turns out.
The first lady rocked out
with thousands of sixth- to
ninth-graders at a Des Moines
arena on the first stop of a
three-day trip to highlight
her “Let’s Move” campaign. It
was a giant pep rally for eating
right and exercising, complete
with confetti, balloons and a
towering birthday cake made
of fruit.
The first lady and crowd
revved up by doing the Interlude, a dance that started in a

dorm room at the University
of Northern Iowa and went
viral from there.
Mrs. Obama chose Iowa
for her first stop because it
is working to become the nation’s healthiest state by 2016,
as measured by the Gallup
organization. It ranked 19th
in 2010, the most recent rankings.
Mrs. Obama sold healthy
eating to the kids as something fun, but also dangled the
bait that it could help them
“pass your tests and get good
grades in school.”
The first lady took on the
issue of childhood obesity
because almost a third of U.S.
children are at least overweight, and about 17 percent
are obese.
In the two years since she
launched her campaign, she
has brought substantial new
visibility to the childhood
obesity issue and has prodded
schools, families, restaurants,
grocery stores, doctors, local
communities and others to do
more to tackle the problem.

POMEROY — The python problem in the Florida
everglades and its effect on
small animals was the topic
of legislative chairman Roy
Grueser at a recent meeting
of Hemlock Grange.
Grueser said the snakes
are killing off marsh rabbits,
deer and raccoons, along
with other small animals,
and are now spreading into
other areas of Florida. On
the brighter side, he noted
that there was a recent record catch of 1oo million
pounds of lobsters caught
on the east coast.
Janice Weber, chairperson, spoke on how to communicate with someone
who has hearing loss. She
announced a Deaf Activities Conference to be held
March 24 at Friendly Hills.
During the meeting conducted by Rosalie Story,
Adelle White, family activities chairman, reported on
the baking contest which
will be held March 1 at the
grange meeting. The entry
categories are white cup-

cakes with white icing and
caramel bars.
Members were reminded
that eye glasses, hearing aid
batteries, Campbell soup labels have to be turned in by
Feb. 28.
A program on birds, feeders and bird feet was given
by Kim Romine, lecturer.
She said seed feeders fall
into three categories, trays,
ho9ppers and tube feeders. She suggested not
using platform trays and
not spreading food on the
ground. She said the seeds
which attract the greatest
number of bird species are
black sunflower seeds which
are high in fat, cracked corn
and peanuts are also favorites for birds, she said.
Following her program,
Romine passed out brochures on bird feeders and
gave out a packet of sunflower seed. Three bird
feeders were given away in
a drawing.
The March meeting will
be preceded by a Kentucky
Fried Chicken dinner.

Hanna berates Ohio legislators on exotic pet laws
COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP)
— Celebrity zookeeper Jack
Hanna criticized Ohio lawmakers Thursday for not
yet passing a bill to regulate
exotic animals, months after
authorities shot dozens of
lions, tigers, bears and other
wild creatures let loose by
their suicidal owner.
A Republican state senator
from Zanesville, the eastern
Ohio city where the animals
were shot, had planned to
introduce a bill this week but
then said it was not ready.
There is no new timetable
for the measure.
“What’s it going to take,
everyone, to pass a bill?
Someone else getting killed?”
Hanna said during his remarks to an Ohio newspaper
trade group.
Hanna, a former Columbus Zoo director who has
given animal demonstrations
on national television for decades, said he can’t believe
legislation hasn’t progressed.
“In fact, I’m actually in a
state of shock right now because, folks, you’re not dealing with some little issue of
animals here. You’re dealing
with bombs,” Hanna told
members of the Ohio Newspaper Association at their
convention in Columbus.
Hanna said he has no power over the Ohio Legislature
and isn’t running for office.
But he said he has seen a tiger finish off a 2,000-pound
water buffalo in less than 10
seconds and lions take down
even larger animals in less
than 30 seconds.
“You probably don’t want
to witness it,” he said.
Ohio has some of the nation’s weakest restrictions

on exotic pets. Efforts to
strengthen the state’s law
took on new urgency in October when authorities were
forced to hunt down and kill
48 wild animals — including
endangered Bengal tigers —
after their owner freed them
from his Zanesville farm and
then committed suicide.
In August 2010, a bear
attacked and killed a caretaker during a feeding at the
home of a man who also kept
wolves and tigers on property near Cleveland.
Hanna again defended
the sheriff’s decision to kill
the animals released from
Terry Thompson’s Zanesville
home. The animals destroyed
included six black bears, two
grizzlies, a baboon, a wolf
and three mountain lions.
“When we showed up, we
had 45 minutes of daylight
left,” Hanna said. “Tranquilization, folks, is very difficult.
It’s not like on TV where you

pop something and it just,
plop, falls over.”
He said no one knew for
sure how many animals were
loose or captured that night,
which why the dead wildlife
were laid out in a row across
the countryside. A photographic image of the scene
was disseminated to newspapers and websites around the
world.
State Sen. Troy Balderson,
of Zanesville, had sent a letter last Friday to state lawmakers, asking them to sign
on to his bill.
He included some details
about future regulations in
his letter. For instance, the
measure would immediately
ban people from acquiring
additional exotic animals.
Zoo, circuses, sanctuaries
and research facilities would
be exempt.
Owners of lions, tigers and
other large animals, such as
elephants and crocodiles,

would be banned in 2014
from keeping the creatures
unless they applied to be a
“private shelter” and met
new caging requirements
and care standards.
Balderson said Tuesday
the bill needed more work
and wouldn’t be introduced
this week.
Asked to respond to Hanna’s comments Thursday,
Balderson said in a statement: “The draft legislation
continues to be a work in
progress, which is complicated by such passion involving
public safety and personal
property. Therefore, we want
to make sure we get it right,
and that requires very careful
dialogue with all interested
parties.”
Balderson’s draft proposal
is less strict than a framework suggested last year by
a state study committee, in
which Hanna took part, and
state agencies.

Many pastors are
leaving their pulpits —
if not the ministry
Allow me to present you
with two interesting and
similar facts, then leave
you to decide which one
is of more concern to you,
personally.
First is the truism that
as many as 1,000 members of what Tom Brokaw
has called “The Greatest
Generation” are currently
dying each day, with many
of these being actual veterans of the Second World
War. With this in mind,
please know that every
month in this country at
least as many pastors are
leaving their pulpits — if
not the ministry.
Now, then: which of
these two on-going scenarios do you consider the
most grievous? It may be
that neither one is of any
concern. After all, many
of us had no immediate,
first-hand experience with
the malevolent events
that swept over the world
in the 1940’s, setting the
stage for that War.
Such things are far removed in time; thus, there
are no longer as many
of us willing and able to
relate to the remarkable
men and women of that
generation who, the truth
be admitted, selflessly
sacrificed their present
for what is now ours. Likewise, without any fanfare
or hesitation, those same
men and women willingly
put their lives on the line
to defend this Country
and liberate the peoples
directly threatened by the
Axis powers.
As is quite possible, we
may no longer respect the
elderly as we should. Indeed, some members of
my generation tend not
to, because they perceive
these elderly folks to be a
threat to their own future
Social Security income.
I suppose such an attitude is to be expected
from those unwilling to
acknowledge God as the
One who provides for all
our various needs. Whether it’s their daily bread, or
in retirement their month-

ly Social Security check,
every church in America
has a certain percentage
of Christians with more
faith in the government
than the Almighty to supply their needs.
For a fact, carnal-minded and materialistic-oriented people want all they
can get, and they typically
fail to discriminate as regards the source. Nothing
matters so much as their
getting what they want,
never mind how real or
imaginary, how necessary
or not those needs might
be.
It is at this point that
people may turn to some
church to fulfill their desires, only to find out
that it lacks the resources
and wherewithal to do
so. Having had ulterior
motives to begin with,
they’re more likely than
not to conclude the church
is a farce and doesn’t care
about them.
Unfortunately, it isn’t
the woodpeckers outside
but the termites within
that constitute a church’s
greatest problem. When
the Body of Christ forgets
the Lord is its head, a
perverse and self-serving
logic ensues which drives
the body to behave in
ways contrary to the will
of God.
Since Christians and
non-Christians alike invest considerable trust
in the government, and
likewise are heavily influenced by the various
media—whose objectiv-

ity is questionable—many
people in churches today
are far more attuned to
the secular world than to
the spiritual. Said otherwise, “there’s more of the
world in the church than
there is of the church in
the world!”
Brothers and sisters,
this is contrary to what
God intends for the
Church-at-large! At no
time should God’s people
be tacking in one direction and their Shepherd in
another: there is no unity
in diversity or in compromise; true unity is found
only in God’s truth.
You should know my
purpose here is not to
belittle or disparage the
many, even valiant accomplishments,
contributions, and sacrifices
of those who in the past
did so much for God and
Country; and if not for the
One, then for America.
Such a nefarious undertaking would obligate me
to spit in my father’s face,
so to speak—and most assuredly, that is never going to happen!
However, allow me to
now insert myself into my
own article as an advocate
for ministers in general,
and in so doing exhort
you to support your local
pastor. If he, or she, is a
committed servant of the
Most High God, then your
pastor’s overall orientation is going to be more
spiritual than mundane,
directed more towards
pleasing the Lord than
you, personally.
Pastors so gifted as to
be consummate politicians, adept at accommodating clique(s) and dominant individual(s), may
appear to have successful
ministries, but you’d be
well-advised to not bet the
farm on it. Besides, God
never calls ministers to
be successful, just effective. For God’s people and
His churches to ultimately
be effective, God must be
priority #1—always.

A Hunger For More
As they took their blades
and cut the gnarled wood of
the thorny acacia tree (also
called “shittim wood”, see
Exodus 25:10-22 and Exodus 37:1-9), the men who
had gone out into the desert in the cool of the early
morning sighed in relief.
Their search for wood
that was usable was a long
and arduous one. They had
already spent days searching for acacia bushes with
wood that was sufficient
for their need. Bezalel, the
craftsman that God had instructed Moses to appoint
as the artisan in charge (see
Exodus 31:1-11), seemed
impossible to satisfy. At
times, he and his assistant,
Oholiab, could hear the
workmen grumbling. Bezalel would shake his head, bemused by their impatience,
but was adamant that the
wood that they needed had
to be just right: strong, yet
flexible enough to yield to
his hand as he worked with
it; mature enough to actually be large enough to use,
yet free of blemish and corruption.
The reason, of course,
that it was so difficult to
find what he was looking
for was that this was the Sinai Desert. The only wood
that could grow here was
the acacia bush and it was
dead more often than not
from the terrible thirst that
lay upon the land even in
the wadis (rain gulleys) that
offered the barest of shelter
from the sun’s blazing rays.
Someone had suggested sarcastically that if they needed wood so badly, it might
be easier to return to Egypt
and get the wood there from
the Nile River valley.
Bezalel was glad that
Moses had not heard that
comment. After the golden
calf incident and the tragic
events that followed (see
Exodus 32), Moses’ heart
seemed already to have
been nearly broken. No,
Bezalel knew what he was
doing. Besides, Bezalel reminded them, whatever
they used had to be harvested and given freely by
those whose hearts were
in it (from Exodus 25:2).
And after they had searched
carefully, taking their time
so that their offering would
be pleasing to the God who
had delivered them from
their slavery in Egypt, they
found just what they were
looking for.
After they had scrutinized the wood that they
were going to use for the
assignments that God had
given them, some of the as-

Pastor

sistants simply shook their
heads. “Perhaps,” said one
who had good intentions,
“it would have be better to
use cedar or oak… almost
any other kind of wood
would be easier to use. We
could trade for it with the
Edomites, our brothers.”
“No,” replied Bezalel,
“the Lord told Moses that
we were to use acacia.” And
then he smiled. He realized
that he perhaps didn’t know
all the reasons that acacia
was chosen by the Lord,
but he knew that the acacia bush could teach them
much.
As they began to craft the
wood, they painstakingly
stripped the coarse and
thorny bark from the acacia
limbs. Bezalel and Oholiab
scratched their arms and
cut their hands so much
that their hands seemed always to be bleeding. Sometimes the wood would prove
unwilling to comply and so
would splinter and crack.
At other times they discovered hidden blemishes that
compromised the wood’s integrity. But in the end, they
were able to craft the wood
into the necessary shapes
and piece them together
until they had completed
the chest that God had told
them He desired. The ugly,
stubborn acacia wood was
transformed into a new
thing. When they then began to overlay the wood
with gold, Bezalel’s assistants began to get excited.
He and Oholiab smiled at
their enthusiasm, and reminded them what it had
cost them to accomplish
the job as they held up their
scarred hands.
Finally, the chest was
complete and the lid, with
two beautiful figures ornamenting its surface, was
placed atop it. There was
an ominous feeling that
they were in the presence
of the holy, and they were
overcome with awe and felt
so profoundly humbled that
the Holy One had used them

and their talents for His glory. “Indeed,” said Bezalel,
“it was for this reason that
we have been given such talent.” His assistants gazed at
the Ark of the Covenant and
gave praise to God.
Bezalel then remarked to
the men standing around
him, “I think that we are like
the acacia bush. Our God
could have chosen any other ‘tree’ in the world, yet he
chose one with thorns and
obstinate branches. Though
our thorns prick the flesh of
His mercy and His compassion bleeds sorrow as we
strive against Him, He forbears our waywardness.”
Oholiab, moved to tears,
answered, “Yes, He has
brought us out of the dry
places of sin and given us
new life and new purpose
that we could never have
known had He allowed us
to remain in the arid places
of our bondage to Egypt…
and, more importantly, our
bondage to our own selfish
ways.”
“Ah, and see what else He
has done,” smiled Bezalel.
“He has covered us with
the glory of His love and
presence. Like the gold on
the acacia wood, the Lord’s
divine calling overlays our
people with a beauty that is
not native to us.” The men
gathered around him could
only agree. Bezalel led them
in a song of thanksgiving
and then led them into the
next project that the Lord
had given them.
“See to it, brothers, that
none of you has a sinful,
unbelieving heart that turns
away from God. But encourage one another daily, as
long as it is called Today,
so that none of you may be
hardened by sin’s deceitfulness…. May the God of
peace, Who through the
blood of the eternal covenant brought back from
the dead our Lord Jesus,
that great Shepherd of the
sheep, equip you with everything good for doing
His will, and may He work
in us what is pleasing to
Him, through Jesus Christ,
to Whom be glory for ever
and ever. Amen.” (Hebrews
3:12-13, 13:20-21).

URG baseball opens season this weekend
Randy Payton
Special to OVP

RIO GRANDE, Ohio
– While Old Man Winter
is doing his best to make
a return to southeastern
Ohio, the University of Rio
Grande baseball team will
embark on a road trip to
Dayton, Tenn. for a seasonopening weekend series
against Bryan College.
The RedStorm will begin
the 2012 campaign against
the Lions on Friday with a
single nine-inning contest
scheduled for a 6 p.m. first
pitch. The two teams will

also meet in a Saturday doubleheader – one nine-inning
game and one seven-inning
tilt - beginning at 1 p.m.
“We’re excited,” said
Rio Grande head coach
Brad Warnimont. “It’s a
big challenge in front of
us. Our young kids are going to have to step up and
our pitching is going to
have to carry us. We’ve got
some upperclassmen on the
mound, but we’ve got a lot
of new faces this year and
our success is going to be
predicated by their ability
to mature and to stay on
task for a nine-inning ball-

game. We’ve already seen a
learning curve.”
While there are some familiar names back from last
year’s team which finished
30-24, there are 25 new faces – including 22 freshmen
– on the 2012 roster.
Fortunately, a rather mild
winter has allowed Warnimont and his staff the opportunity to gain some critical on-field evaluation of the
newcomers.
“This has been a peculiar spring for us in the fact
that we’ve been outside 12
times. We’ve been able to
simulate some game situa-

tions and have some intrasquad scrimmages,” said
Warnimont, who is beginning his 11th season as
the head coach of the RedStorm. “I hoping that, early
in the year, being able to get
outside becomes the equalizer for us. At this time last
year, we were going from
a gym floor to our opener.
Then we went back into the
gym before playing the next
weekend. We had to move
snow in order to be able
to take groundballs off of
the grass, that’s how far behind we were at this point
last year. But I also had up-

perclassmen who were able
to adapt and adjust. This
year, we’ve been able to get
a little repetition in, which
I think has helped tremendously.”
The majority of last season’s returnees are found
on the pitching staff, where
those responsible for 18 of
the 30 victories are back.
Leading the list of starting candidates is junior
right-hander Eric Ford
(Chagrin Falls, OH), who
posted a 5-3 record with a
2.59 earned run average
and 51 strikeouts in 552/3 innings of work a year

POCA, W.Va. — Now that’s going out on a good note.
The Point Pleasant wrestling
team captured its fifth straight
Cardinal Conference championship Tuesday night after winning
11 of 14 individual titles at the
annual quad match held at Poca
High School in Putnam County.
The Big Blacks — who were
competing in their final Cardinal
Conference tournament before
joining the Class AAA ranks next
season — surrendered just 19
points combined against the likes
of Sissonville, Herbert Hoover
and Poca, as Point Pleasant finished the quad with an astounding
198-point advantage.
PPHS, which combined for a
217-19 edge in points through
three matches, scored 70 points

each against Sissonville (75-0)
and Poca (78-6) while also blasting Herbert Hoover by a 64-13
margin. The hosts Dots (2-1) finished as the Cardinal runner-up,
while the Indians (1-2) edged out
the Huskies (0-3) for third place.
In winning its fifth-straight Cardinal title, Point Pleasant had 11
different league champions — a
record for the school over that
five-year span. The two-time defending state champions in Class
AA also have a grand total of 48
league crowns individually since
the 2007-08 campaign.
Of the 11 individual winners
from Point, five were repeat champions in the Cardinal Conference
— including a third straight for
junior Noah Searls. Searls went
2-0 in the 132-pound division to
win the crown.
Guy Fisher (113), Steven Por-

ter (126), Josh Hudson (145)
and Josh Hereford (170) also won
their second straight title Cardinal championship with matching
3-0 marks in their respective divisions.
John Raike (106), James Patterson (120), Zak Davis (152), Jacob
Starcher (182), Jacob Gleason
(220) and Michael Duncan (285)
were also first-time league title
winners for the Big Blacks.
Herbert Hoover, which finished
last team-wise, had the other
three individual championships
on the day. Alex Goff (138) won
his weight class by a 2-1 record,
while Josh Mack (160) and Zane
Weese (195) both went 3-0 in
their respective divisions.

Report: Ohio State needs ethics office
COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — A report given to an Ohio State board of
trustees committee Thursday recommends that the university hire a vice
president to oversee a new office and
new committee responsible for monitoring ethics and rules compliance
across the university system.
The report by consultants is a
response to the school’s football
memorabilia scandal that led to the
resignation of coach Jim Tressel, but
its recommendations would apply to
numerous departments including athletics. The trustees’ audit committee
accepted the recommendations, and
they head to the full board on Friday.
If approved, the next step would be
implementing the recommendations
during the next six to 12 months,
said university Chief Financial Officer
Geoff Chatas.
He said a university-wide ethics office would help provide consistency
among the university’s departmentlevel compliance teams that make sure
various regulations are followed.
“We’re always trying to be better
at Ohio State and trying to be best in
class,” Chatas said.
The university would maintain its

compliance offices for athletics, research, the medical center, financial
aid, disability services and information security.
University-wide compliance offices
are a growing trend across the country, said Ada Meloy, general counsel at
the American Council on Education.
She said they likely started at schools
with hospitals and Medicaid regulations and then expanded as the number of regulations governing higher
education in general mushroomed.
“With the many regulations and
laws that cover institutions of higher
education, it is a little too easy for
something to fall between the cracks,
and this kind of approach is one of the
very highly regarded ways to try to
avoid that,” she said.
The Ohio State review by the Menlo
Park, Calif.-based Protiviti Inc. looked
at rules compliance across the university, with an emphasis on athletics,
research, student financial aid and the
medical center.
Consultants reviewed policies at 23
other universities as well as certain
companies while preparing the report. A few had centralized functions,
Chatas said. He said the recommenda-

tions show that the Ohio State proposal would be one of the more complete
efforts in balancing a central function
with expertise in each area of the university.
The report also recommends the
university ensure that employees are
appropriately trained, develop a riskassessment methodology and monitor
risks. Key risks would be subject to
consistent monitoring.
A code of ethics would be expanded
university-wide and reviewed at least
once every five years.
The review came in the wake of
the scandal in which football players violated NCAA rules by selling
game memorabilia for cash and tattoos. The revelation led to a lengthy
NCAA investigation, several player
suspensions, the forced resignation of
10-year coach Tressel and quarterback
Terrelle Pryor giving up his senior
year to jump to the NFL.
Chatas said the university didn’t try
to determine if recommended policies
would have prevented the infractions
in the football program.
“We really were looking forward,”
he said.

Notre Dame knocks off WVU, 55-51

MORGANTOWN, W.Va.
(AP) — The home crowd
came to cheer on Kevin
Jones Wednesday night, but
it was Notre Dame’s center
who stole the show in a 5551 Fighting Irish victory
over West Virginia.
Jack Cooley recorded his
seventh double-double of
the season with 21 points
and 12 rebounds.
West Virginia’s Jones, the
Big East’s leading scorer
and rebounder, picked up
his 16th double-double of
the year (14 points, 12 rebounds). The senior was
going for his 10th straight
game with 20 or more
points. Only Jerry West
and Hot Rod Hundley have
done that in the program’s
history.
“I think (Cooley) took it
as a challenge,” Notre Dame
coach Mike Brey said. “We
talked about their front line.
I thought Jack was fabulous
tonight. He guarded but he
also knew he could move
around them a little bit. He
has quicker feet to get there

and get some buckets. The
way he got some offensive
rebounds tonight was amazing.”
It was the fifth straight
Big East victory for the
Irish (16-8, 8-3). During
that streak, Notre Dame
has beaten three teams in
the Top 25 and limited all
five opponents to 59 points
or less.
For the Mountaineers
(16-9, 6-6), it was the fourth
loss in their last five league
games.
Cooley was 7 of 9 from
the field and 7 of 10 from
the free throw line. Scott
Martin and Jerian Grant
each added 12 points for
Notre Dame.
Jabarie Hinds scored 17
points, Deniz Kilicli had 16
and Jones 14 for the Mountaineers.
Three
consecutive
3-pointers sealed the deal
for Notre Dame. The treys
left the Irish ahead 51-45
with 55.3 seconds remaining.
“Obviously, what hap-

pened was that they were
2 of 18 (previously) from
3 and they made three in
a row,” said West Virginia
coach Bob Huggins. “They
made shots and we didn’t
make shots.”
“We have made some fearless threes this year,” said
Brey. “We’re really good at
the end of a clock and at
the end of a game. We’re a
really mentally tough and
poised group. It was just a
heck of a win for us on the
road.”
“During this run (winning streak), they’ve all
made big shots for us,” he
added. “I think their concentration is better the last
four minutes than it is in
the first 36.”
West Virginia clawed its
way back from a 12-point
deficit early in the second
half to lead 43-40 with 4:28
remaining. The Mountaineers’ last lead, 45-42, came
with 2:33 left. Then came
the triples by Eric Atkins,
Grant and Martin.
“It was a hard-fought

road win against a heck
of a team,” said Brey. “We
weathered a storm. You
knew they were going to
make a run. To go down
three and come back and
steal a road win, it’s big for
our group. I thought our
poise was really good when
we went down three.”
Notre Dame scored nine
straight points to take a 1912 lead with 5:12 remaining
in the first half.
A hook by Jones broke
a seven-minute scoreless
span for West Virginia.
Martin scored on a tip-in
and followed with a 3-point
shot to send the Fighting
Irish into the locker room
with a 26-16 lead, its largest
advantage of the first half.
West Virginia hit just
24.1 percent from the field
in the first half (7 of 29) and
9.1 percent (1 of 11) from
3-point range.
Notre Dame dominated
the boards (21-16) and outscored West Virginia 14-6 in
the paint and 8-2 on secondchance points.

West Virginia’s 16 points
was its lowest first-half total
of the season.
Notre Dame was ahead
32-22 with 16:35 left in the
game, but the Mountaineers went on a 16-6 run to
tie the game at 38 with 7:09
left.
Jones’ 3-pointer from the
corner gave West Virginia
its first lead, 41-40, since
early in the game.
Kilicli capitalized with
a deep left-handed hook to
put the Mountaineers ahead
by three, which prompted
Brey to call a timeout.
Kilicli’s layup kept West
Virginia ahead 45-42 with
2:50 left, but three consecutive shots from beyond the
arc by Notre Dame had the
Irish leading 51-45 with
55.3 seconds left.
Cooley scored four points
from the line for a 55-49
lead with 5.8 seconds left.
The second half was a reversal of the first in terms
of field goals. West Virginia
knocked down 58.6 percent
(17 of 29) against Notre

Dame’s 38.1 percent (8
of 21). However the Irish
were good on 42.6 percent
of their shots for the game
(20 of 47) compared to 41.4
for West Virginia.
Jones recorded his 16th
double-double of the season
and leads the Big East in
scoring (20.8) and rebounding (11.2).
Meanwhile
teammate
Darryl “Truck” Bryant, averaging 17.6 points, was
held scoreless. He was 0 of
6 from the floor.
Pat Connaughton, who
scored 23 points Sunday
in Notre Dame’s 73-59 victory over nationally ranked
Marquette, was also held
scoreless.
“We have really become
cruel competitors,” Brey
said. “We’re showing the
signs to put the dagger in
when we’ve had the chance.
It’s a great win by a very
confident team right now.
You want to bottle it and
ride it as long as you can.”

There’s
still
a
game
in
Toledo edges Ohio, 77-73
there somewhere

TOLEDO, Ohio (AP) — Rian Pearson notched a double-double and Toledo
went on a 5-0 run in the game’s final minute to seal a 77-73 comeback win over
Ohio on Wednesday night, snapping a
three-game losing skid for the Rockets.
Down 73-72 with 1:08 to play, Curtis
Dennis’ three-point play pulled the Rockets (11-13, 3-7 Mid-American Conference) ahead for good. The Bobcats then
missed two jumpers and turned the ball
over once down the stretch, and Matt

Smith clinched the win for Toledo with
a pair of foul shots in the game’s final
second.
Toledo outrebounded Ohio 43-32, and
outscored the Bobcats 36-20 in the paint.
Pearson finished with 18 points and a
career-high 16 rebounds, and Smith also
tallied 18 points for the Rockets.
D.J. Cooper also had 18 points to lead
the Bobcats (19-5, 7-3), who had a sixgame winning streak snapped in defeat.

Central Florida hangs on
to beat Marshall 67-60
ORLANDO, Fla. (AP)
— Keith Clanton scored
20 points and Isaiah Sykes
added 15 points and 10 rebounds as Central Florida
hung on for a 67-60 win
over Marshall on Wednesday night.
The Knights (18-6, 7-3
Conference USA) needed
a 3-pointer from Marcus
Jordan with 14.3 seconds
to play to stop a Thundering Herd rally that had cut a
14-point deficit to just two
in the final minute.
“I’ve been there a couple
of times with a chance to
make clutch plays at the
end of games and this time
it went in,” said Jordan, the
son of NBA Hall of Famer
Michael Jordan.
Marshall (14-10, 5-5) was
led by Damier Pitts with 18
points and seven assists.
Shaquille Johnson added 10
for the Thundering Herd,

who lost for the sixth time
in their last seven games.
“Our kids battle hard,
but we don’t make enough
winning plays when the
time comes,” said Marshall
coach Tom Herrion. “We
fought back, but lost the
game on a couple of missed
box-outs on free throws. We
just didn’t get the job done.”
Clanton was the driving
force for Central Florida in
both halves. He scored the
Knights’ first 11 points of
the game and started the
second half with a 3-pointer.
His follow shot completed a
13-2 run early in the second
half that allowed Central
Florida to pull out to a 4434 lead with 11:54 left.
The Knights led 58-44
with under 3 minutes left
when Pitts started and
finished a 16-4 run with
3-pointers. His last shot
made it 62-60 with 49.7

seconds remaining. However, the Thundering Herd
couldn’t stop Jordan, who
just beat the shot clock with
a fall-away jumper from
deep in the corner.
“The one word on the
blackboard in our locker
room was finish, and we did
that tonight,” Central Florida coach Donnie Jones said.
“There are a lot of things we
can learn from this game,
especially the last 2 minutes, but we made the hustle plays and finished when
it mattered.”
DeAndre Kane, Marshall’s top scorer, arrived
just before game time, after
spending time with his family in Pittsburgh following
his father’s death Tuesday.
Kane, who averages 16.2
points, scored only nine on
4-of-12 shooting. He missed
all three of his free-throw attempts.

freshmen in the lineup every
day and there might be 20
kids who get in to any given
game. I’ve been spoiled in
the past by being able to
go to the yard and be pretty
consistent about the names
I put down on the lineup
card, but I don’t think we’re
going to have that this year.
We were picked eighth in
the conference in the preseason and I think the kids
feel they’ve got something
to prove. I know I’d much
rather be where we’re at,
looking to sneak up on people, than to be like we were
last year with a bullseye on
our back. Our kids didn’t
realize how big the bullseye
was until we were 0-6 out of
the chute and then they figured out that we had to play
every game.”

Jim Litke

AP Sports Columnist

The strangest coaching decision during Super
Bowl week wasn’t when
Bill Belichick ordered his
defense to act like matadors
and wave Giants running
back Ahmad Bradshaw by
for a touchdown from 6
yards out with less than a
minute left in the game.
That’s just the one people
will remember. The really
odd one came four days earlier when the uber-prepared
Patriots coach, anticipating
a halftime show that would
dictate a 30-minute intermission rather than the usual 12, ordered his players to
take a break from practicing
football and practice sitting
in the locker room for a halfhour instead.
They missed Madonna!
And that guy on the tightrope! Not to mention that
moment when another of
her sidekicks, the rapper
M.I.A., saluted a worldwide
TV audience using only one
finger!
NBC didn’t, of course,
although the censor who
was at the switch for such
a moment turned out to be
slow on the draw. The NFL
didn’t miss it, either, touching off a whole other kind
of finger-pointing afterward
over who was to blame.
“The NFL hired the talent and produced the halftime show,” NBC said in a
statement. “Our system was
late to obscure the inappropriate gesture and we apologize to our viewers.”
“There was a failure in
NBC’s delay system,” the
league’s statement said.
“The obscene gesture in the
performance was completely inappropriate, very disappointing, and we apologize
to our fans.”
The problem with stepping out on the edge is
that every so often just like
Bradshaw toppling into the
end zone despite his best
intentions you’re going to
come down on the wrong
side of the line. That lesson was supposedly learned
when Janet Jackson’s infamous “wardrobe malfunction” at halftime of the
2004 Super Bowl sparked
an overwrought national
debate about moral decay
and prompted the Federal
Communications Commission to slap CBS with a record $550,000 fine. The fine
was eventually voided, after
five years of legal wrangling
that reached all the way
up to the Supreme Court
and then back to a federal
appeals court. The NFL
vowed MTV would never
produce another halftime
show, but as this latest one
proved, the suits in charge
aren’t as risk-averse as
their buttoned-down image
might suggest. Otherwise,
they would have exhumed
Lawrence Welk and put him

of Phoenix Stadium in Glendale, Arizona, on Sunday, February
3, 2008.

out on the stage.
Hype was an important
commodity back in the days
when the Super Bowl was
getting started. The late
Lamar Hunt, who started as an AFL owner and
wound up with the Kansas
City Chiefs, came up with
the title for the game after
watching his kids bounce
a “Super Ball” around the
house, and he’s generally
credited with the idea of attaching Roman numerals to
distinguish each one, hoping to make the whole event
seem more, well, magisterial. From those humble beginnings a high school drill
team, two college bands and
trumpeter Al Hirt headlined
halftime in Super Bowl I a
juggernaut arose.
The game was still the
major entertainment this
year, but just barely. What
takes place before and after the game has made the
NFL a player in the entertainment business as well
as the undisputed king of
the American sports scene.
Some 7,000 fans forked
over $25 each just to watch
reporters do their jobs on
the field during media day,
plus a few more bucks for a
headset to listen to the interviews. Gisele Bundchen,
the supermodel wife of
Patriots quarterback Tom
Brady, made the front page
of the New York Post three
days before the game, after
the paper got hold of an
email she reportedly sent
to friends and family that
asked them to pray for her
husband to win. Then she
doubled down after the
game, caught on a video responding to heckling from
Giants fans by saying, “My
husband cannot (expletive)
throw the ball and catch the
ball at the same time.”
Celebrities have been
drawn like flies to the event
for some time now, but camera phones and a growing
number of entertainment
reporters and websites are
ferreting out the sideshows
that used to remain largely
private affairs. Given the

NFL’s growing appetite for
cross-marketing, it won’t
be long before the league
borrows some ideas from
the Oscars and rolls out the
red carpet before the game,
then televises both teams’
after-parties. Judging by
the some of the videos that
are already out there showing Rob Gronkowski and
several New England teammates dancing in various
stages of undress, a few
alongside rapper LMFAO
on a stage while the crowd
yells “Shots!” there’s plenty
of entertainment yet to be
mined.
By comparison, the winning New York Giants’ celebrations looked tame. Brandon Jacobs reportedly had
a message for Mrs. Brady
during New York’s victory
parade “she just needs to
continue to be cute and shut
up” but more characteristic
of the team’s approach was
quarterback Eli Manning’s
appearance on “Late Show
with David Letterman.” He
walked on with Queen’s “We
Are the Champions” blaring
as his entrance music and
got a standing ovation before he landed in the guest’s
chair. But his material was
strictly PG-rated.
“When you win a championship, it’s a team. It’s a
team coming together, and
that’s exactly what we did,”
Manning said. “I was happy
for a lot of the guys. This is
their first Super Bowl, so I
think when you have one,
that second one, you really do it for the other guys
who’ve never had that experience.”
Too bad nobody had a
cellphone camera when
Barry Switzer, the renegade
college coach, won a Super
Bowl a few years after leaving Oklahoma and taking
over the Dallas Cowboys.
He ran into one of players heading for the soiree
scheduled to start in his
hotel suite and basically
disavowed any responsibility for what was to follow
by yelling, “Let’s win the
party!”

CONCEPTIS SUDOKU
by Dave Green

HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Friday, Feb.
10, 2012:
This year you juggle work, relationships and a long-term dream. You
might lean one way or another during
parts of the year. Depending on your
background and needs, you will feel
more comfortable dealing with a specific area. If you are single, you’ll meet
someone quite exotic and different who
opens doors you have never seen. If
you are attached, you see a dimension
of your mate that is new. Accept and
grow with this side. LIBRA can say
awful comments without others even
realizing it until hours later.
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 Defer to others, especially
as you are focused on a key matter.
Let them carry the ball, but be ready for
a surprise or two. You cannot control
others, so appreciate their individuality.
Close bonds are formed through less
judgment. Tonight: Let the weekend
begin.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20)
HHH Recognize that you are
human and can do only so much. Your
own level of energy will define the possibilities. On the other hand, you could
try the power of positive thinking. The
end results could be tremendously satisfying. Tonight: Put your feet up.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20)
HHHHH You might have a case of
weekend fever. Your energy and willingness to complete any pending work
demonstrate how much you want time
off. Consider your plans and expectations. Do your best to fulfill them.
Tonight: You could be a little wild.
CANCER (June 21-July 22)
HHHH You seem to be more creative and dynamic than you have been
in a while. A situation around work
could become very strange or unusual,
if it isn’t already! As soon as you can,
join a friend or family member. Tonight:
At home, but don’t let it be alone.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)
HHH Carefully finish up detailed
information in the morning. The unexpected runs riot through your afternoon,
lightening up the pace and your mood
— if you have a sense of humor. In
what appears to be nothing less than
a gawky move, someone is expressing
his or her caring. Tonight: Stop. Make
time for a friend.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
HHHH Move quickly in the

a.m., when you are more energized.
Complications could shatter the bestlaid plans in the afternoon. Maintain a
sense of humor, and all will end well.
Your sense of well-being grows as a
result of handling this hassle. Tonight:
Treat a friend well.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
HHHH You might want to postpone
plans until the afternoon. At that point,
you will resolve issues spontaneously
— so much so that you might not even
recognize them. In this mood, you see
only pluses. A friend tosses perhaps
too much caring on you! Tonight: Start
the weekend well.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
HHH Use the a.m. for meetings
and interpersonal matters. For whatever reason, you decide to cocoon and
do some reflecting in the afternoon.
Some of you simply might be tired, but
for many, new information causes you
to take another look at an important
matter. Tonight: Not to be found.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
HHHH Friends surround you and
will be most responsive in the afternoon. Invitations, project ideas and a
new opportunity all might appear, adding to your choices. Do you feel that you
are on overload? Know that not everything needs to be handled immediately.
Tonight: Let go of stress, and accept
an invitation.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
HHH Make a key phone call or
have an important meeting in the a.m.,
when others are still in work mode. You
have a lot of responsibilities that could
hold you back from making any more
commitments, or even entertaining the
idea. Tonight: Count on a late night.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
HHHH You might be wondering
what is best to do. This discussion
involves another person helping you
to see a personal matter differently.
As soon as you can, cut the routine
and take off. Invigorate your mind and
body with a change of scenery. Tonight:
Open up to change.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)
HHHH You could view another’s
behavior with some cynicism. You
question how you can change the
direction of what is happening. Stop
and remember that you cannot change
anyone; but you, personally, have
options. Tonight: Open up to a trusted
friend and/or loved one.

NFL’s Goodell says no plans to expand anytime soon
INDIANAPOLIS (AP)
— Sorry, Los Angeles. The
only NFL expansion happening anytime soon is to
next season’s schedule of
Thursday night games.
During his annual Super Bowl news conference, Commissioner Roger
Goodell said last Friday
there hasn’t been any discussion about adding to
the league’s 32 teams, and
indicated he’s not too keen
about the idea of shifting a
franchise, either.
“We have not talked
about expansion in the
league at all. It has not been
on our agenda. It is not
something we’ve focused
on with our membership.
And I don’t see that in the
foreseeable future,” Goodell
said. “We want to keep our
teams where they are. We
believe that’s healthier for
the league in the long term.
We’re working to get sta-

diums built and make sure
we do whatever we can to
make sure those teams are
successful in those communities.”
Los Angeles, the secondlargest market in the U.S.,
has been without an NFL
team since the Rams and
Raiders both left after the
1994 season.
“We would like to be back
in Los Angeles, if we can do
it correctly,” Goodell said.
“There are a lot of issues
that have to be balanced
there.”
He announced that every
club will appear on primetime TV in 2012, thanks in
part to a new slate of Thursday games that now will
be scheduled from Week 2
through Week 15. NBC will
air a game on Thanksgiving
night; the other 12 Thursdays will go on the NFL
Network, which aired eight
games in 2011.

“We think it’s great for
the fans, for the teams and
great for the network,”
Goodell said.
He discussed a wide variety of issues during his
45-minute session with reporters, touching on topics
such as concussions, testing
players for human growth
hormone, and games in
England, Mexico and elsewhere.
Asked about an Associated Press story this week
based on interviews with
a dozen former players, including Hall of Fame member Tony Dorsett, who have
filed lawsuits against the
league related to concussions, Goodell said: “We
have done a great deal to try
to address issues that are
specific to our former players. We will always make
sure that player health and
safety is the No. 1 priority
in the NFL.”

“We will not quit. We are
not done yet. We’re going
to do what we possibly can
to help our retired players,
the current players and future players, by making the
game safer,” Goodell said.
“And we will do that with
rules, we will do that by improving the equipment, and
we will do it by making sure
that we pioneer research
that’s going to make sure
we understand all there is
about brain injuries, brain
disease, and make sure
we’re being responsible
leaders.”
Asked about a report that
the language in player contracts might be changed to
prohibit suing the league,
Goodell replied: “In certain
cases, a club and a player
may have individual negotiations, but there is no
league-wide effort to do
that.”
He pointed out this season’s new kickoff rules
meant to improve safety,
saying injury rates were
down, particularly for concussions.
Noting one possible
change for next season,
Goodell said the league
likely will increase its use
of replays to help team doctors assess possible injuries
by putting TVs on every
sideline. That’s something
the league began during
the playoffs, in reaction to
Cleveland Browns quarterback Colt McCoy going
back into a December game
after a helmet-to-helmet
shot.
Goodell said the league
also will consider having
independent neurological
doctors at games to examine players and determine
if they should be held out
because of concussions.
When the AP interviewed
a group of current players
about that last year, 31 were
in favor, and 10 against it.

“We’re not going to relent
on safety,” he said, noting that it’s important that
“the medical decisions are
always overriding competitive decisions.”
Two hours later, at another news conference down
the hall from where Goodell
spoke, Indianapolis Colts
center Jeff Saturday said recent changes to concussion
protocols are working.
“Awareness is helping,”
said Saturday, a member of
the union’s executive board.
“I know players hate it, and
we get fined. But if it saves
a guy’s wife from having to
take care of him when he’s
50 years old, I’m all for it. A
guy’s got to sit out.”
Having the league impose a rule limiting hits
in practice was necessary,
Saturday said, because every coach has different philosophies. Tony Dungy and
Jim Caldwell, the Colts’ last
two coaches, didn’t have
their players hit a lot in
practice. But Saturday said
others, such as former Colts
coach Jim Mora and former
Jets and Browns coach Eric
Mangini, never backed off.
“There’s a lot of unknowns about brain injury and the brain itself,”
Goodell said. “We’re all
learning.”
Other items addressed by
Goodell on Friday:
The NFL would like
to start testing for HGH
this offseason; the league
and players haven’t been
able to resolve an impasse
even though the new, 10year collective bargaining agreement added that
performance - enhancer
to the drug program. On
Thursday, NFL Players Association executive director DeMaurice Smith said:
“No one will bully us into a
test.”
“We have been working
to try to address the is-

sues the union has raised,”
Goodell said. “We believe
the science is clear. I do not
hear any dispute from scientists around the world on
the fact that this test is valid
and we have the basis to put
in and implement an HGH
test that is fair to the players. We expect to be able to
do that.”
Asked about complaints
from the city of St. Louis
about last month’s announcement that the Rams
will play one “home” game
in London in each of the
next three seasons, Goodell
said: “We’re going to play
the London games. We
hope it will be with the
Rams and the New England Patriots next year.
That’s what we planned.
… But there are issues that
obviously are going to have
to get resolved. We know
there are discussions going
on. We hope that will get
resolved shortly.”
The league is looking
into bringing a regular-season game back to Mexico,
and would like to eventually consider other sites in
Latin America. Similarly, if
its current plans for games
in London prove successful,
other spots in Europe could
get games.
All the buzz and speculation this week about injured
Colts quarterback Peyton
Manning, who didn’t play
this season, doesn’t bother
Goodell, who said that
hasn’t been a distraction
in the run-up to Sunday’s
game between the New
York Giants and New England Patriots.
“I understand the interest,” Goodell said.
As for whether Indianapolis might host another
Super Bowl, Goodell said
that’s a possibility, because
“they’re doing a fantastic
job.”

Howard’s future won’t
hurt All-Star game

HOUSTON (AP) — NBA Commissioner
David Stern doesn’t believe this year’s All-Star
game in Orlando will be upstaged by Dwight
Howard’s uncertain future.
Stern spoke Wednesday in Houston, where
he officially announced that the All-Star Game
would be held there in 2013. Where Howard is
playing by then is anyone’s guess.
The Magic’s six-time All-Star has asked to
be traded, and he’ll be a free agent after the season. This year’s game will be played Feb. 26,
less than a month before the March 15 trade
deadline.
“We’re going to get a great rating. It’s going
to be seen in 200 countries. We’ll have the usual media experiences like the one I’m enduring
now,” Stern said. “But the great thing is the
game is going to start and then there’s going to
be all this spectacular basketball playing, and
all these stars are going to take center court.”
Last year, the trade talk swirled around Carmelo Anthony over All-Star weekend in Los
Angeles. He was dealt to the New York Knicks
less than a week after the game.
Stern says the league is OK with players
choosing where they want to play, believing
the terms of the collective bargaining agreement make it difficult to leave. In Howard’s
case, the Magic can offer him a five-year contract extension with 7.5 percent annual raises,
while other teams are limited to offering a fouryear pact with 4.5 percent raises.
“I go back far enough to remember when
Kareem decided he didn’t want to be in Milwaukee, and that’s a long time ago.” Stern said.
“Or when Wilt wanted to move some place.
We’ve built in some pretty interesting incentives.

“That’ll work itself out,” Stern said. “We
don’t have a problem with that at all.”
Stern said the league was in good health,
despite the lockout that shortened training
camp and compressed the regular season to
66 games. He acknowledged that the level of
play had suffered and said he wished teams
could’ve played eight preseason games, instead
of two. He’s noticed coaches rest star players
more often to prevent injuries and go deeper
into their benches than in previous seasons.
Ratings for games are up on all the national
television networks, average attendance is
slightly higher than last year and merchandise
sales have increased since the 2010-11 season.
The league is also setting record numbers with
hits on NBA.com and video streams online.
“And if you’re a fan, boy, there are a lot of
good games on every night,” Stern said. “We’re
having a ball.”
Stern covered a wide range of topics in a media gathering after the glitzy announcement at
the Toyota Center, which included a performance by the Rockets’ dance team, a video
montage of highlights from recent All-Star
games, and the introductions of several former
Rockets, including Robert Horry, Steve Francis
and Clyde Drexler.
Stern said the NBA had no information
about a report that Seattle was trying to get
another team. The Seattle Times reported that
the city had been working with a hedge-fund
manager, who made a proposal to build an
arena for an NBA franchise.
The city has not had an NBA team since
2008, when owner Clay Bennett moved the
Sonics to Oklahoma City and renamed them
the Thunder.
