Harris WEATHER FRIDAY, APRIL 29, 2011 www.mydailysentinel.com Nearly half of Pomeroy hydrants not working BY BETH SERGENT BSERGENT@MYDAILYSENTINEL.COM POMEROY — A little over half of Pomeroy’s fire hydrants are working, according to Pomeroy Village Administrator Paul Hellman, which means nearly half aren’t working. Hellman said if he had to estimate, he guessed 60 percent of hydrants work and 40 percent don’t work. Resident Dan Morris questioned Hellman about it at this week’s meeting of Pomeroy Village Council. Hellman said he’s working on grants to replace and repair those which aren’t working. For residents wondering if their hydrants are functional, if it’s painted blue it’s working, if it’s painted green it has some defect that may cause it not to work cor- rectly or not work at all. The village is responsible for repairing and maintaining the hydrants, not the fire department. Hellman also told Morris there are approximately 28 new, digital water meters for residential customers which remain to be installed. Customers who are waiting on these new water meters are still being charged the minimum charge for water usage per month. Hellman said the village is working on getting the remaining 28 meters installed. Other council business: Council approved use of the Pomeroy Parking Lot for Veterans Appreciation Day on Saturday, Sept. 10.

Every year for the past 21 years the MHS band in area competitions was awarded a superior rating by a panel of judges on the basis of the quality of performance. That rating qualified the band to participate in the state competition. Every year the band competes in four or five area events and in most the members walk away with trophy awards for performance. The Board also recognized David Deem, assistant director for the band, and he, too, was presented a Certificate of Excellence. Deem has been assistant band director for the past 20 years. He is currently also the assistant principal of Meigs Middle School. In addition to presenting shows at football games, the band has an annual spring concert, this year scheduled for May 12, many years presents a variety show, and is very supportive of community events marching in numerous parades and performing at special events.

County to seek emergency repair funding for slips Six roads suffer significant damage from heavy rains BY BRIAN J.

POMEROY — Engineer Eugene Triplett estimates that six county roads have sustained over $100,000 in damages due to slips caused by heavy rains. At Thursday’s regular meeting, Meigs County Commissioners approved a resolution authorizing Triplett to prepare an emergency application for repair funding through the state, to address significant road damage caused by this month’s heavy rains. Traffic has been limited or prohibited on Peach Fork Road, Sumner Road, Burlingham Road, Eden Ridge Road, Carr Road and Elk Run Road, after slips caused serious damage. The damaged roads cover all parts of the county, including Bedford, Olive, Chester and Salisbury townships. A representative of the highway department said Thursday Triplett hopes to secure at least partial funding to repair the slips through the Ohio Public Works Commission’s State Capital Improvement Program. Commissioners approved an emergency resolution authorizing the application at their meeting. The highway department has performed some emergency and tempo- rary repairs to allow for partial traffic, but the roads have sustained serious damage and the repairs may not be sufficient in the long term.

B RO T H E R S Best friendʼs ex is her secret boyfriend Dear Dr. Brothers: I’ve inadvertently turned my life into a soap opera. I’ve been secretly dating my best friend’s former boyfriend for about a year now. At first, it wasn’t a really big thing — we were just fooling around, and I didn’t think it would last long at all. But now it seems we have developed feelings for each other. It’s getting harder and harder to keep this a secret as time goes on, and I know it would really hurt her to know. What should I do? — L.B. Dear L.B.: It may be that after a year, your best friend has moved on and has gotten herself another guy. You should know her state of mind, and her personality. Is she very jealous and vindictive? Or is she likely to be understanding and wish you well? If that’s the case, she even might have the emotional capacity to get why you and her former beau decided to keep your relationship secret for so long. Of course, to you it was all about sparing her feelings, but she is much more likely to see it as a sneaky move that you were ashamed to reveal. Some friends have an understanding that they may NEVER date the other’s cast-offs, and for good reason: The whole topic is fraught with peril; there rarely is a happy outcome when that unwritten rule is broken. But break it you did, and though you might never have had that understanding, you are beginning to appreciate why perhaps you should have. If you think your friend really hasn’t caught wind of this — you may be surprised to find that she has known something was going on — arrange for her to find out as soon as possible. You and your boyfriend should talk to her together. You needn’t dwell on how long you have been deceiving her, but letting her know you were taken by surprise should be the focus of your confession. Ask her how she feels, and try not to be defensive. You can hope for the best, but be prepared for a less-than-understanding response. ••• Dear Dr. Brothers: My girlfriend and I are planning on moving in together this summer. I thought everything The Daily Sentinel • Page A2 www.mydailysentinel.com Civil War comes to Gallia County Federal Army Homecoming set for this weekend BY ANDREW CARTER MDTNEWS@MYDAILYTRIBUNE.COM Dr. Joyce Brothers would be a cakewalk, until I found myself at Bed, Bath and Beyond talking about what theme she has in mind for the kitchen. My girlfriend has completely designed the apartment — floor plans and all — without one discussion with me. I don’t really want to get into a fight about it, but it seems she kind of forgot that I’ll be living there too. How should I approach her? — D.G. Dear D.G.: When couples move in together, they are faced with the “his, hers and ours” problem. It sounds as though you are going to a neutral corner with a brand-new address — and that’s good! No one’s things will be dominating the space from the get-go. But it sounds like your girlfriend is beginning to take over, and now is the time for you to start speaking up in your own defense. I suggest that you start with the pieces you both have, and try to figure out how to best use them. Give each other veto power over items you both hate, and be generous in what you “allow” her to keep. If she seems determined to run the whole show, ask for a room or corner of your own for an appropriate “man cave” that you can furnish on your own. This whole scenario sets the stage for how you’ll deal with issues as a couple living together, or perhaps someday ready to marry. It is important stuff, so don’t feel bad for bringing up your feelings about being shunted aside when it comes to planning the new space. She might not even have realized you were interested in being involved. Or she might be a total control freak and this is only the beginning of a nightmare. It’s up to you to figure out the difference — preferably now, before you move in. Good luck!

Joan Corder, president, led the meeting, which opened with the Pledge of Allegiance and devotions by William Downie, Jr., from the book “Forty Days with Jesus.” Prayer was given before the noon luncheon, catered by the Meigs County Senior Citizens. Gynn addressed the funding challenge of STRS caused by economic and demographic factors. In March, 2009, the STRS Board began the planning process to strengthen the financial condition of the pension fund. The board approved a plan at its Jan. 27, 2011 meeting. The plan’s components increase member contributions, increase age and service requirements for retirement, calculate pensions on a lower, fixed formula, increase the period for determining final average salary, and reduce the annual cost of living adjustment for current and future retirees, and defer the COLA for future retirees. This plan complies with the Ohio statutory requirement for bringing the pension fund to a 30year funding period. The changes proposed by the retirement board help preserve defined benefit pensions for Ohio public educators. All these changes require legislation to be implemented. H.B. 69 and S.B. 3, both pension bills, are essentially the same and address issues for all five public pension systems. Gynn asked the group to contact their legislators and use “teacher voices,” asking them to support these bills with the amendments. The next area ORTA meeting will be March, 2012, in Athens. Secretary and treasurer reports were given. The president discussed the scholarship. It was noted that Eileen Buck has a new address, c/o Larry Caudill, 460 Skyview Lane, Lexington, Ky. 40511. Maxine Whitehead discussed the retirement seminar to be held from 4:30 to 6:30 p.m. on May 3 at the Meigs Middle School. Downie had a communication from Roger Pickenpaugh, a Civil War writer. Janice Weber, Anna Rice and Nancy Circle won door prizes. The next meeting will be May 19 at Trinity Church.

Economy slowed by high gas prices, bad weather BY JEANNINE AVERSA AP ECONOMICS WRITER WASHINGTON (AP) — The economy slowed sharply in the first three months of the year. High gas prices cut into consumer spending, bad weather delayed construction projects and the federal government slashed defense spending by the most in six years. The 1.8 percent annual growth rate in the JanuaryMarch quarter was weaker than the 3.1 percent growth in the previous quarter, the Commerce Department reported. And it was the worst showing since last spring when the European debt crisis slowed growth to a 1.7 percent pace. Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke and other economists say the slowdown is a temporary setback. They generally agree that gas prices will stabilize and the economy will grow at a 3 percent pace in each of the next three quarters. But gas prices are still going up. The housing market has shown little signs of recovering. And lawmakers are proposing some of the steepest cuts in federal spending in a generation. Those cuts would filter down to state and local governments, which are already wrestling with their own budget crises. "The economy has lost its modest upward momentum, and headwinds such as rising gasoline prices and further budget cuts suggest the recovery will continue at only a moderate pace going forward," said Sal Guatieri, senior economist at BMO Capital Markets. The national average for a gallon of gas was $3.88 on Thursday. That's an increase of 30 cents in the first month of the April-June quarter. An inflation gauge in the report showed consumer prices rose last quarter at the fastest pace in nearly three years. Most of the increase came from higher fuel costs. Rising gas prices are draining most of the extra money that Americans are receiving this year from a Social Security payroll tax cut. That's a major reason why consumer spending cooled off in the January-March quarter. Consumers boosted spending at a 2.7 percent pace, down from the previous quarter's 4 percent pace and the weakest since last summer. Consumer spending is important because it accounts for roughly 70 percent of overall economic activity. "All things considered, it could have been worse," said economist Paul Dales at Capital Economics. Even though consumers spent less, the pace of spending by historical standards is decent. "Nevertheless, in a quarter when the economy began to benefit from additional monetary and fiscal stimulus, we had originally expected a lot more," he said. Pump prices weren't the only reason spending slowed. Harsh winter weather also kept people from shopping in many parts of the country. Winter storms — including rare snow that blanketed the South — also forced builders to delay construction projects, a big factor holding back overall economic activity. Builders slashed spending on commercial construction, such as office buildings and factories, at a 21.7 percent annualized pace, the deepest cuts since late 2009. Residential construction was also affected. Builders cut spending on housing projects by a 4.1 percent annualized rate. The housing market's collapse thrust the economy into a deep recession, and economists say it will take years for the industry to heal. Two years after the recession has ended, the housing market remains depressed. Bernanke suggested at a news conference Wednesday that the crippled housing market will continue to drag on economic growth. He pointed out that home building and commercial construction were both "very weak" in the first quarter. Normally, construction spending is much stronger at this stage of an economic recovery. The government is also spending less. The federal government cut military spending at an annualized rate of 11.7 percent last quarter — the deepest cut since 2005. Bernanke and other economists expect government defense spending and consumer spending will rebound in the next quarter. Economists in a new Associated Press survey predict the economy is growing at a 3.2 percent pace this quarter and that growth will steadily improve over the remainder of the year. One concern is the rise in prices. An inflation gauge tied to the report showed that consumer prices rose at an annual rate of 3.8 percent. That's the biggest gain since the summer of 2008, when gasoline prices hit a record high of $4.11 a gallon nationwide. Stripping out energy and food prices, inflation rose at a rate of 1.5 percent. That's at the low end of the range of inflation the Federal Reserve believes is needed for a healthy economy.

ATTEND CHURCH �FAITH • VALUES The Daily Sentinel Page A7 Friday, April 29, 2011 A Hunger for More There is a supreme urgency in knowing and accepting that God is at work today in your individual life. But as you scan your own personal circumstances, you may perhaps be so inundated with messages to the contrary that you may not only doubt such a claim but even scorn it. Even from within your own heart, you may contend with such emotions of doubt, bitterness, and hopelessness that the very idea that God is working in your life has never occurred to you. Nevertheless, it is urgent that you know and accept that God is at work today in your life. It is imperative that you understand that as the Awesome Architect laid out His plans for the Cosmos and perceived all that would be included in the great story of the world, you were on His mind and in His heart. Not only that, but as the Eternal Engineer harnessed all energies and ordered all matter that swirled through the inconceivably vast expanse of the universes, Thom Mollohan He already knew you by name and had secured for you a place of significance and unimaginable worth. And so, as Jesus proclaims the eternally profound declaration that “My Father is always at His Work to this very day…” (John 5:17 NIV), you would do well to reflect on what such a revelation may mean for you even as you read this. Even if the discouraging fumes of the world’s cynicism were to waft in your nostrils right now and you scoffed, “He isn’t working in MY life,” you could not escape the fact that He has promised that “we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love Him, who have been called according to His purpose.” Though one might attempt to turn that promise aside as he laments that “it can’t possibly mean me; I haven’t really done much to show any love for God,” he cannot escape the fact that God sees him as a “work in progress”. “No,” God may say to him, “you’re not loving Me much… yet… but I have called you according to My purposes.” And so He works behind the scenes in our lives, orchestrating not only external circumstances to place us in a position wherein we might hear and avail ourselves of His gift of salvation, but He works also on the inside of our lives, nurturing within us the characteristics necessary to come to truly place our faith in Him. “No one can come to Me unless the Father Who sent Me draws him, and I will raise him up at the last day” (John 6:44 NIV). Even as you understand right now perhaps the extent of God’s love for you and the need to allow Him to forgive and cleanse you of sin so that you might have eternal life, it is not your great intellect that has opened the Truth to you; it is the hand of God within you. Such insights into the activity of God in your life carries a high responsibility. Just as surely as Jesus expected Simon Peter, Andrew, James and John in Mark 1:16-20 to simply leave everything behind and follow Him, He expects us to rise from our “nets” of mere preoccupation with day-to-day living and rise to the challenge of living beyond ourselves in the grand investment of trusting Him. It is entirely possible that even as you read this, His truth makes sense to you and you perceive His invitation to give Him your heart and join Him in the great adventure He’s called you to discover. But don’t turn away from His appeal for you to follow Him. Like the “Rich, Young Ruler” in Matthew 19:16-22, we may turn away and end up swallowed by not only spiritu- al mediocrity but possibly even miss out entirely on His gift of salvation and hope. After all, one may not receive a treasure, priceless though it may be, if one’s hands are already full or have been thrust into one’s pockets. Your life counts in the grand scheme of God’s great universe and you yourself matter to the One Who created it all. He came in human flesh and “in Him was life, and that life was the light of men. The light shines in the darkness, but the darkness has not overcome it…. The true light that gives light to every man was coming into the world. He was in the world, and though the world was made through Him, the world did not recognize Him. He came to that which was His own, but His own did not receive Him. Yet to all Who received Him, to those who believed in His name, He gave the right to become children of God — children born not of natural descent, nor of human decision, or a husband’s will, but born of God” (John 1:4-5, 9-13 NIV). May we each now, as He works within us by opening our minds to perceive Him and our hearts to believe Him, choose to yield our lives to receive Him as Lord. As we open the door for His love, He will not fail to bring into our experience the sweet nectar of fellowship with Himself as well as the savory meats of joy, purpose, holiness and peace. “Jesus replied, ‘If anyone loves Me, He will obey My teaching. My Father will love him, and We will come to him and make Our home with him… These words you hear are not My own; they belong to the Father Who sent Me” (John 14:23,24b NIV).

Search the Scriptures Continuing our study of Hebrews 11, today we look at Joshua. In one verse [v.30], the Hebrew writer summarizes the fall of the walls of Jericho. After Moses’ death, God chose Joshua to take the Israelites into the Promised Land [Joshua 1:1,2]. Three times in this chapter, God encouraged Joshua to “be strong” and “be of good courage” [vs.6,7,9], and the Israelites also encouraged him [v.18]. God told Joshua, “This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success. Have not I commanded thee? Be strong, and of a good courage: be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed: for the Lord thy God is with thee whithersoever thou goest” [vs.8,9]. It is clear Joshua’s successful mission depended upon knowing and obeying God’s will. He knew that “faith only” would not bring about God’s approval; he knew the “faith” that God accepts includes knowing God’s will and obeying the commands therein. We’ll return to Joshua, but now look at Heb. 11:31: “By faith the harlot Rahab perished not with them that believed not, when she had received the spies with peace.” In his book, James tells us more: “Ye see then how that by works a man is justified, and not by faith only. Likewise also was not Rahab the harlot justified by works, when she had received the messengers, and had sent them out another way? For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also” [2:24-26]. Rahab’s life journey spanned being a harlot [prostitute] to being in the genealogy of our Lord [Matthew 1:5]. A child that has been taught the Scriptures knows the walls of Jericho came down. Let’s look at the specific commands that brought about the wall’s fall: after receiving the two spies’ report [Joshua 2:24,25], and after passing over the Jordan River’s bed on dry land [3:1-4:11], about 40,000 men prepared for war headed to the plains of Jericho [4:13]. Hear the specific instructions given to them: v.3: all the men of war were to go round the city once for 6 days; v.10: “ye shall not shout, nor make any noise with your voice, neither shall any word proceed out of your mouth, until the day I bid you shout; then shall ye shout.” To 7 priests, Joshua said: “Take up the ark of the covenant, and let 7 priests bear 7 trumpets of rams’ horns before the ark” [v.6]. For 6 days, 1 time a day, “the armed men went before the priests that blew with the trumpets, and the rereward came the ark,…” [vs. 9-14]. On the 7th ATTEND THE CHURCH day, “they arose early, about the dawning of the day, and compassed the city after the same manner 7 times: only on that day they compassed the city 7 times. And it came to pass at the seventh time, when the priests blew with the trumpets, Joshua said unto the people, Shout; for the Lord hath given you the city” [vs.15,16]. Question: how many times did Israel go around Jericho? Answer: not 7, but 13! What an example of true “faith”! Had one of the Israelites disobeyed God’s specific commands for taking Jericho, the wall would not have fallen. In fact, one Israelite disobeyed God’s commands for disposing of the treasures of Jericho after her fall [7:1], and his disobedience cost 36 Israelites their lives, when the men of the city of Ai drove back Israel’s men of war [7:1-26]. Back to Rahab: there is much about her we would like to know. Here are a few facts we do know: she believed in God: “the Lord your God, he is God in heaven above, and in earth beneath” [2:11b]; she was concerned about her family: “…I pray you,…since I have shewed you {the 2 spies} kindness, that ye will also shew kindness unto my father’s house, and give me a true token: and that ye will save alive my father, and my mother, and my brethren, and my sisters, and all that they have, and deliver our lives from death” [2:12,13]; she showed great faith and great bravery, and took great risk when she hid the spies [2:6] and misled the king’s men, so they would go in the wrong direction, thus not finding the spies [2:3-5]. It is clear her faith in God was proven by her works. One will look in vain in the Bible for any teaching or example that supports “faith only,” so from whence did it arise? As we learned in a previous column, Martin Luther [1483–1546 AD], in hope of reforming the Catholic Church’s reliance on works, hit upon the idea of justification by faith, the doctrine that salvation is granted as a gift through God’s grace. His major doctrine was justification “by grace alone through faith alone because of Christ alone.” Most reformers of the Protestant branch continued to hold to Luther’s “faith only” doctrine, as do most Protestant churches today. Readers, search the scriptures! God loves mankind so much He clearly spells out His commands. By studying the New Testament [our law today], you will know what He requires.

It may have been because Terry would take the plastic eggs that you can take apart, stuff them with candy goodies, and re-join the halves. Many times we would include money. Then, on Easter Sunday afternoon, we would hide the eggs in the yard for the boys to find, the champion being declared for finding the most. Each year I, as the league commissioner, had to impose new rules in an effort to tone down the potential for each cheating or inflicting harm on the other. Like I said, it was vicious. While visiting with us over the Easter weekend, our second son, Keithen, officially announced his retirement from the annual Branch egg hunts to concentrate on the egg hunts of his young daughter and son. So, sitting around the table after a family meal, I conducted a type of interview with him to get his perspective. Keithen reminded us that he once won the hunt seven consecutive years. Keithen indicated that it Ron Branch was his speed that gave him advantage. After retrieving the most obvious eggs, he would watch his younger brothers for clues, out-race them to the location of an egg, and then elbow them out of the way for the pick, since the league rule stipulated it was a legal find if found and picked from the ground. His finest moment, he said, was the year it appeared to him that Ron, who was typically more ethical in his approach, was collecting the most eggs. So, Keithen began to pester his younger brother, Eran. Eran got so mad that he started chunking the eggs in his basket at Keithen. Since the thrown eggs were on the ground, it was legal for Keithen to retrieve each and add them to his eventual winning total. Keithen smiled wryly as he recalled that particular strategy. We all know that endearing experiences with family often provide memories that play a part in keeping the group close and cohesive. But, a more significant as well as comparative consideration accounts for experiences with God which engender such memories that keep us close and cohesive in terms of spiritual family connections with Him. This is a pertinent and deliberate focal point for Terry and me, as a matter of fact. We often recount with thanksgiving how the Lord provided for us, remembering such experiences with Him over the years that make us love Him and want to reciprocate His apparent care of us. The truth often overlooked is that recalling the goodness of God is a critical cord to weave in our spiritual experience with God. Check in the Word of the God the many times that Israel recounted how God delivered them from the Egyptian bondage. They recalled in both individual praise and corporate ceremony God’s provision for them, and the mighty acts of deliverance He provided for them. A significant part of Israel’s spiritual heritage that identifies them so uniquely with God involves active memory. Apostle Paul enjoins us to “remember that Jesus Christ was raised from the dead.” “Remember” refers to an unassisted recalling on the basis of an abiding appreciation. What is it that God has done for you or provided for you? Do you remember it? Do you appreciate it? Do you reciprocate faithfully toward God what He has done in your life? Or, do you deliberately forget the goodness of God until some future time you may need His goodness directed toward you again? Unfortunately, that is the case for too many in the Christian community. In the mean time, Ron and Jeshua stand in line as possible official retirees. Then again, with Keithen out of the mix they may want to continue on as they have opportunity to be here on Easter Sundays in the future. By the way, it was Jamin winning this year’s contest over Micaiah 5554. Again, it was vicious. (Rev. Ron Branch is pastor of Faith Baptist Church in Mason, W.Va.) Finding ‘Answers in Genesis’ For those who read my weekly articles, you’ve noticed there’s no such thing as a unifying train of thought behind my musings. Quite the contrary: I go where I feel the Spirit is moving me, and write as I feel led. This week’s article deviates from the spontaneous and overtly inspired. If you will allow me this bye, the following constitutes an endorsement of an upcoming learning opportunity. In effect, I’m vacating my role as a “guest theologian” to write in favor of a video series entitled, “Answers in Genesis.” Of course, it goes without saying that for there to be answers to something one first needs to ask relevant questions — and this series does that, too. The Old Testament Book of Genesis is the foundation of everything subsequently introduced and discussed in this series. Ken Ham, the author, is adamant in contending that “accepting the Bible’s very first book as literal history (emphasis added) is absolutely vital” to one’s obtaining an informed and objective understanding of the whole of Creation. Although I certainly do not intend to insult anyone’s intelligence here, the fact is that many are those who approach the world as Thomas Johnson we now know it more from a scientific perspective than from one of faith. Indeed, it isn’t at all uncommon for Christians to be more than a little skeptical as regards the origins of the world — especially those who are younger in age, and/or immature in the faith. What the Age of Enlightenment itself didn’t effectively accomplish in its time — i.e., a diminishing if not a complete elimination of faith in God — science has continued to chip away at. Thus, we’ve been acclimated and accustomed to expect a definite, logical, and rational explanation for just about everything — “miracles” included! Ken Ham says this is nonsense, that just as the Bible begins with the Book of Genesis, so, too, must our own approach to Creation and everything we know, or think we know about it, start here. Indeed, those who tend to deny the rele- vance and accuracy of Genesis will be confronted and challenged by Ham’s straightforward, uncompromising insistence that Genesis is not in the Bible to be tampered with, or dismissed out-of-hand as some literary fabrication. Hence, the very first video in this series, “Is Genesis Relevant Today?” is itself critical to everything which follows. Therein, Ham indicts the contemporary Church for ignoring this Book — chapters 1-11, in particular — in favor of more secular and scientific thinking as regards the creation of the world. Obviously, Genesis is anything but a comprehensive and detailed discourse concerning how the world-as-a-whole came into being. I, for one, have never read it in that light, nor have I ever been enjoined to. (Neither let us presume upon the Bible as a complete reference text for the overall history of the world; it just isn’t there!) Nevertheless, because the Church has a history of turning its back on Genesis, the author sees Christianity as “losing its effectiveness in cultures” as it seeks to influence others for Christ. Since the Church itself seeks to dismiss the Biblical account of Creation, and instead chooses to go with one or another of the prevailing scientific theories related thereto, Mr. Ham declares the Church to be more of a liability to itself than an effective witness for the Lord. Ouch! All-in-all, Ken Ham is advocating a Biblical world view, one predicated on Genesis and which encompasses the whole of God’s Word. He approaches each topic — twelve, altogether — in a gracious and personable manner, with insight and wit, too. You won’t be expected to agree with everything he says; neither will you be required to check your brains at the door. It’s been said there’s too much of the world in the Church, and not enough of the Church in the world. A very real part of the problem derives from too many “mixed messages” being sent and received by both, such that the Church has lost its direction and distinctiveness. Let the Church know its business; such is the purpose of this series. Ken Ham has done a marvelous job with the essentials; now it’s up to churches to “acquire the fire” of these truths. The “kick-off” date is May 3 , 7:30 p.m. at the Mulberry Center, in Pomeroy. (Rev. Thomas Johnson is pastor of Trinity Church in Pomeroy, Ohio.) Much is being said in the news about illegal aliens receiving American benefits and so forth. This concern is nothing new in our country. It has been going on for many years. But one thing I want to point out is the reality of yet another “illegal resident” who not only takes advantage of this nation and even this world, yet many do not see him as an illegal resident giving him all sorts of “right aways” and positions. I want to remind you that this individual has been defeated long ago yet continuing to take on illegal residence in our world and in people’s lives. As a matter of fact, Jesus defeated Satan (the illegal resident) on the cross almost 2000 years ago. This is why my favorite Holy-Day is Resurrection Sunday — it reminds us, not only of the perfect sacrifice, but also of the perfect blow and victory won on the cross and the empty tomb! What a Christ we serve! Satan has gained “right away” in many people’s lives, countries, governments, schools, court systems, etc. due to sin in man’s hearts. I wish that the only place Satan has gained ground was in the secular world, but unfortunately, he has also gained positioned in the Christian world as well. We can’t fool ourselves — the reality is, the devil is roaming around seeking many to devour. We were created to be filled with the Spirit of God and to live in perfect harmony and fellowship with Him, not to be under the thumb of a demonic pretender exercising illegitimate authority. This is why whenever Jesus encountered a demonic spirit possessing a human being He cast out the spirit as an illegal resident. As believers, we have a choice as to who we allow to rule or dominate our lives. We have been trained by religion to be scared of the devil. Most of our churches have taught us to regard the world situation as hope- Alex Colon less, to prepare ourselves to leave, and then to pray for the Lord to rescue us out of this world. Having conceded victory to the pretender, we feel that all we can hope to do is hold the fort and defend ourselves as best we can until Christ comes back and takes us home. This reminds me of something somebody once said: “We have become a bunch of holy sissies.” Let me remind you that we, the church, the body of Christ, are the legal rulers on Earth with the power, authority, and protection of our King and all of heaven behind us. Satan is a liar, usurper, and pretender whose illegal power over us was lawfully broken forever at the cross. Even though we must always be on guard against his whiles, deception and treachery, as Kingdom people we must boldly exercise our legitimate, lawful and God’s legal authority, having no reason to fear him. The power and victory is yours! Let me ask you a question closer to home: Has the illegal resident taken up space in your community, school, house, home, heart? If so, then kick him out today! Why? Because you can! You are more than able (if you are a child of God full of the Spirit of God) to kick him out, keep him out and rule him out! You are the Legal Resident here on earth — so keep the spiritual demonic illegal resident out of your life. Make it a Good Day! (Rev.

The Lady Marauders (84, 7-0 TVC Ohio) remained tied with Wellston atop the league standings with the wire-towire victory and also claimed a season sweep of the Lady Buckeyes in the process. Meigs won the previous home contest by a 5-0 margin back on April 18. The game was originally scheduled to be played at NYHS, but the Lady Buckeyes agreed to come to Meigs County for the contest — due to inclement weather preventing play in Nelsonville. MHS took full advantage of the friendly confines in the top of the first, as the guests jumped out to an early 3-0 edge. The Lady Buckeyes countered with a run in their half of the first to pull within 3-1, then both teams went scoreless over the next two frames for a 3-1 score after three complete. Meigs sent eight batters to the plate in the top of Shuler McKinney the fourth, which resulted in four runs on three hits and two NYHS errors — giving the guests a 7-1 lead. The Lady Buckeyes, however, countered with four runs of their own in the bottom of the fourth, which led to a 7-5 Meigs lead after four full frames. NYHS never came closer the rest of the way. MHS tacked on a run in each of the fifth and sixth innings, giving the guests a 9-5 cushion headed into the bottom of the sixth. Nelsonville-York scored once in the sixth to pull within 9-6, but managed only one baserunner in the seventh en route to the three-run setback. Haley English was the winning pitcher of record, allowing six runs (one earned), three hits and two walks over five innings. Lisa Marie Wise closed out the win with two innings of relief, allowing a run, a hit and a walk while striking out two.

T h e game — which was moved to M e i g s Stewart because of field conditions at Nelsonville-York H i g h School — completed the season sweep for t h e Rowe Marauders. Meigs defeated the Buckeyes 41 in the previous meeting. Neither team had more than one base runner in any of the first three innings. The Marauders led off the top of the fourth with a walk to Ryan Payne. A double by Zach Sayre scored Payne for the first run of the game. Taylor Rowe walked and Colton Stewart singled to load the bases with one out. A walk to Austin Sayre and a sacrifice by Cameron Bolin scored two additional runs. Back-to-back singles and two walks gave Nelsonville-York its only run of the game. Meigs added four more runs in the top of the seventh inning to take and 81 lead. Treay McKinney led off with a single, with walks to Heath Dettwiller and Zach Sayre loading the bases. Rowe hit a three-run double and Stewart had an RBI double in the inning.

Somerville was called out on the play, but the Big Blacks ultimately snapped Wahama’s 10-game winning streak with an 11-8 victory. Big Blacks rally past Wahama, 11-8 BY SARAH HAWLEY SHAWLEY@MYDAILYTRIBUNE.COM POINT PLEASANT, W.Va. — A four-run sixth inning for each team on Thursday evening gave Wahama the lead, only to watch Point Pleasant take it right back. When all was said and done, the Point Pleasant baseball team (16-4) had won its sixth consecutive contest and ended the 10game winning streak of Wahama. After the White Falcons were retired in order in the top of the first inning by Austen Toler, Point Pleasant put five runs on the board in the bottom of the inning. The Big Blacks scored five runs on one hit, five walks and an error. The Big Blacks added two more runs in the second inning, taking a 7-0 lead. Jason Stouffer hit a two-out single and Justin Cavender reached base on an error. A double by Alex Somerville scored both runs. Wahama scored four runs in the top of the third inning, cutting the deficit to three. Wyatt Zuspan took a lead off walk, followed by two walks and a hit batter to score the first run. A sacrifice by Brice Clark scored another run, with Tyler Kitchen adding an RBI single. Neither team would score again until the sixth inning. Back-to-back singles by Clark and Kitchen placed two runners on base, before Matt Stewart hit a homerun over the left center field fence to tie the game. Wyatt Zuspan drew a walk and scored the go-ahead run on an RBI double by Isaac Lee. Wahama led 8-7 as the Big Blacks came to the plate in the sixth. Eric Roberts reached base on an error to start the sixth and Brandon Toler drew a walk. Stouffer hit a two-run double to give the Big Blacks the 9-8 lead. Cavender reached on an error and Evan Potter walked, with two more runs crossing the plate before the inning was over. Point Pleasant held an 11-8 lead after six innings. The White Falcons were set down in order in the seventh inning, giving Point Pleasant the win. Brandon Toler earned the win in relief for Point Pleasant.

The visiting Big Blacks (15-4) never trailed in the contest and led by as many as eight runs at one point en route to picking up their fifth consecutive triumph of the season. The Raiders (8-8) — who were outhit by a 10-8 margin — had their 8game winning streak snapped after starting the season 0-7 overall. Both teams plated a run B. Toler Roberts in the first and were still tied at one through two complete, but Eric Roberts delivered a 2-run homer in the top of the third for a 3-1 PPHS advantage. Then in the top of the fourth, the Big Blacks plated six runs before Roane County recorded an out — which allowed the guests to take a sizable 9-1 lead after three and a half innings of play. RCHS retaliated with four runs in their half of the fourth to pull within 9-5, but Brandon Toler delivered a 2-run blast in the top of the sixth — which extended Point’s lead to 11-5. The Raiders staged a late rally by scoring three times in the bottom of the seventh, but ultimately came up short in the 3run setback.

While the league’s labor dispute played out in the courts, the Heisman Trophy winner was selected No. 1, as expected, in Thursday night’s NFL draft, taken by the Carolina Panthers. Moments before the Auburn quarterback’s name was called by Roger Goodell, frustrated fans showered the NFL commissioner with chants of “We want football. We want football.” Goodell responded with a smile, saying, “I hear you. So do I.” Newton led Auburn to an undefeated season and its first national championship since 1957. Carolina was 2-14 last year, using four quarterbacks, two of them rookies. “I’m ready to change this whole organization around, to go from worst to first,” said Newton, the third straight quarterback taken first overall. “Just being a Panther is the most special part about this.” Then things got a little wackier when Texas A&M linebacker Von Miller became the second pick, selected by Denver. Miller, a plaintiff in the antitrust lawsuit players filed to block the lockout, strode across the stage with tears in his eyes and hugged Goodell. “I’ve never had anything against Roger Goodell,” Miller said. “I just want to make sure football continues to get played. When I walked across the stage, I was meeting the commissioner. That was it.” It was a strange opening for what normally is a festive occasion. In this offseason of labor strife, the league’s first work stoppage since 1987 temporarily ends Friday. The 32 teams will resume business in compliance with U.S. District Judge Susan Richard Nelson’s order to lift the lockout. But the lockout could be back in place if the NFL wins an appeal. If that happens, Newton, Miller and all the players chosen Thursday night would be thrown back into a labor limbo. For now, they will be allowed to report to their teams, meet coaches and get playbooks. Contract negotiations are uncertain until the league announces its rules for the 2011 season — rules that might be in force for only a short time if an appeal is granted. The draft was never in danger of being held because it was protected under the old collective bargaining agreement that expired in March. Moments before it began, Goodell requested a moment of silence for victims of the vicious storms that decimated part of the South on Wednesday. On stage, he was surrounded the Auburn and Alabama stars and their coaches. As for the stars, none shined brighter than Newton, who has shown he can handle the heat of a spotlight. He turned in a sensational 2010 season while the NCAA investigated his recruitment. Newton’s father, Cecil, has admitted soliciting money from Mississippi State during the recruiting process, but said neither the player nor Auburn knew about the pay-for-play attempt. With the third pick, Buffalo selected Alabama nose tackle Marcell Dareus, who gave Goodell an even bigger hug. Of course, Dareus weighs 308 pounds, about 70 more than Miller — and at least 100 more than Goodell. Cincinnati, perhaps calling the bluff of quarterback Carson Palmer, who is demanding a trade, instead took the top receiver in this crop, A.J. Green of Georgia. Arizona, also in need of a quarterback, selected the top cornerback available, Patrick Peterson of LSU. The labor strife caused speculation not many trades would be made Thursday. But just six picks in, Atlanta cut a massive deal with Mark Cornelison/Lexington Herald-Leader/MCT Auburn quarterback Cam Newton ran for a first down in the second quarter against Kentucky at Commonwealth Stadium on Saturday, October 9, 2010 in Lexington, Kentucky. Newton was the first player selected Thursday night in the 2011 NFL Draft, going to the Carolina Panthers. Cleveland and moved up from No. 27 to grab Alabama receiver Julio Jones — the fifth Southeastern Conference player in the first six. The Browns received the Falcons’ firstrounder, second- and fourth-rounders, plus their first pick and fourth-rounder in 2012. San Francisco chose defensive end Aldon Smith of Missouri to bolster a weak pass rush, then the second quarterback was selected: Washington’s Jake Locker to Tennessee. That began a small run on passers. After Dallas went for offensive tackle Tyron Smith of Southern California with the ninth pick, Jacksonville saw a chance to get its future quarterback. The Jaguars moved up six slots for Missouri’s Blaine Gabbert, dealing their first-round pick and a second-rounder to Washington. “You really don’t have any idea where you will go, especially with the lockout,” Gabbert said. “But the trades are happening now.” Houston bolstered its weak defense with Wisconsin end J.J. Watt at No. 11 before yet another QB was chosen: Florida State’s Christian Ponder, who impressed Minnesota with his workouts leading up to the draft. Auburn DT Nick Fairley, once projected as a top-three selection, was chosen 13th by the Lions. It was a head-scratcher because the Lions already have a star defensive tackle in Ndamukong Suh, the 2010 defensive rookie of the year. St. Louis, undeterred by Robert Quinn’s lost season — the linebackerend was suspended from North Carolina for his role in an agents scandal — took him at No. 14. Mike Pouncey, whose twin brother, Maurkice, was a sensational rookie center for Pittsburgh last year, was chosen by Miami to play the same position. After moving down to No. 16, Washington took Purdue LB Ryan Kerrigan. Cleveland traded again, from No. 27 to 21st for Baylor DT Phil Taylor, with Kansas City sliding to 27th. Bengals take WR Green with 4th overall pick CINCINNATI (AP) — A.J. Green tweets maybe once a week. He doesn’t preen or celebrate. In many ways, he’s the opposite of Chad Ochocinco. Soon, he could be his replacement. The Bengals took the receiver from Georgia with the fourth overall pick on Thursday night, giving themselves a pass-catching threat who could quickly become their new No. 1 guy, one that approaches things much differently than Ochocinco. “I’m one of the guys that’s always behind the scenes and always lowkey,” Green said, on a conference call. “I just try to do my job.” The last time the Bengals made a receiver their top choice was 2000, when they took Florida State’s Peter Warrick — also with the fourth overall pick. He never amounted to much in an offense that was in flux at quarterback much of the time. Green is coming to a team that’s in flux at receiver and quarterback. Terrell Owens was Cincinnati’s top receiver last season, but had a one-year deal and won’t be back. The Bengals already have given his locker to a defensive player. Ochocinco has a year left on his deal, but the 33-year-old receiver doesn’t expect the Bengals to keep him around and he’s not hes- itant to say it. Before the draft, Ochoc i n c o NOTEBOOK t w e e t e d a b o u t Green: “He’d be perfect, i’ve done all i can, my time is up.” A few minutes before the draft began, Ochocinco tweeted: “Those watching the draft keep me informed and let’s all pray A.J. Green goes to Cincy at (No.) 4. Awesome wideout.” And, when the Bengals went ahead and picked him, Ochocinco responded: “Prayer (No.) 1 answered getting a beast at wide receiver in AJ Green, God please answer pray (No.) 2.” The Bengals were coy about Ochocinco’s other prayer: Green taking his place in Cincinnati. “This has no bearing or reflection whatsoever on anybody here or not here,” coach Marvin Lewis said. Green became one of Georgia’s all-time best receivers in only three seasons, catching 166 passes for 2,542 yards and 23 touchdowns. Offensive coordinator Jay Gruden said the Bengals considered Green the top-ranked offensive player “by a landslide.” “I’m fired up, man,” said Gruden, who replaced Bob Bratkowski as offensive coordinator after Cincinnati’s 4-12 sea- son. “We’re excited to start drawing up plays for him right now. I’m probably going to be going on the chalkboard as soon as this draft is over and draw up about 20 more for him.” The overriding question: Who will throw to him? Carson Palmer told the team in January that he will retire if he’s not traded. The Bengals have only two winning seasons in the last 20 years, and Palmer wants out. Owner Mike Brown has so far refused the request, setting up a stalemate. The other two quarterbacks on the roster are Palmer’s younger brother, Jordan, and Dan LeFevour, who didn’t get into a game as a rookie last season. Jordan Palmer has appeared in four NFL games, throwing 15 passes total. It’s unclear who will be Green’s quarterback when the season begins. “We’ll find somebody to throw to him,” Gruden said. “Somebody will be here. Somebody will be delighted to have him and (Jerome) Simpson and all our receivers that are here, and (Jordan) Shipley and (Jermaine) Gresham. Things are looking bright.” Gruden didn’t mention Ochocinco. Later, he noted it’s up to Brown and Lewis to decide the receiver’s fate. “There’s been a lot said on Twitter and all that stuff,” Gruden said. The Bengals hoped a desirable quarterback would slip to the second round. Green had no idea who would be around him when the season begins. “You know, it’s a little uncertainty,” Green said. Browns get Baylor DT Taylor in 1st round BEREA, Ohio (AP) — After making two trades, the Cleveland Browns selected Baylor defensive tackle Phil Taylor with the No. 21 pick in the NFL Draft on Thursday night, a run stopper for their new 4-3 defensive alignment. The Browns first swapped the No. 6 overall pick with Atlanta, acquired four others from the Falcons, including the No. 27 pick and t h e n swapped that pick and a thirdNOTEBOOK rounder (No. 70) with the Kansas City Chiefs to get Taylor, a 6-foot-3, 330-pounder. Cleveland’s defensive front is changing next season under new coach Pat Shurmur. Friday, April 29, 2011 NFL tells teams, players OK to work again MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — The NFL has told its teams and players to get back to football, at least for now. Told twice in three days by a federal judge that its 45-day lockout was illegal, the league assured teams and players they could resume some of the normal day-to-day football operations beginning Friday, including voluntary workouts at team facilities, meetings with coaches and going over playbooks. The league also promised to distribute detailed procedures for signing free agents, making trades and other roster moves. That memo, the league said, will likely come Friday and spell out the timing for the start of the league year. The guidelines were released a few hours before the NFL draft, where teams were still allowed only to swap picks, not players. Things are far from normal, however. On a day members of the Tennessee Titans showed up to find two armed guards at their locked-up facility, the NFL pressed forward with the legal fight in the 8th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in St. Louis. The league wants an immediate stay of U.S. District Judge Susan Richard Nelson’s decision on Monday to lift the lockout so it can argue that it should be overturned altogether. The players were told to respond to the league’s motion for a stay by noon CDT time Friday, and the NFL’s reply to that is due Monday morning. Michael Gans, the appeals court clerk, said the three-judge panel for the appeal had not yet been finalized. The venue is considered more friendly to businesses like the NFL’s $9 billion operation than the federal courts in Minnesota. Agent Angelo Wright said he has told clients under contract not to worry about visiting headquarters this weekend out of fairness to the teams so they can focus on the draft. He said they should plan to show up on Monday, and said he’d start calling team executives about unsigned players as soon as Sunday night. Agent Drew Rosenhaus, though, said he’d like for signings and trades to take place during the draft. “I’ve been calling teams, and I’ve been told they’ve been advised by the NFL to hold off on signings or trades until further notice,” Rosenhaus said. Attorneys for the players said the decision lifting the lockout “is in full, immediate force.” “It is our view that the NFL and the clubs will be in contempt of court if they do not comply with the order,” lawyers James Quinn and Jeffrey Kessler wrote. Quinn, in a tersely worded letter to NFL attorney Gregg Levy, said the players were tired of waiting and even accused the league of “granting itself a temporary stay” of Nelson’s order by not immediately opening the doors for football operations. Now, four days after Nelson lifted the lockout, there are guidelines to follow. Mandatory minicamps and voluntary offseason practices can begin, under the rules in the old collective bargaining agreement. Team-supervised workouts will count toward such bonuses in player contracts, and players can also work out on their own at team facilities if they have health insurance in place. The league will “promptly make arrangements” for the substance abuse and steroid programs to resume, and players can participate in teamsponsored community and charity functions. And in the meantime, they’ll continue their fight in court. The league told the appeals court that the players “cannot have it both ways” by threatening contempt-of-court sanctions while also asking for a delay to address the NFL’s request for a temporary stay. And the NFL criticized Nelson, who late Wednesday rejected its request to put her order lifting the lockout on hold pending appeals. The league said her decision “blinks reality” and is “deeply flawed.” The NFL complained that the order has forced teams to “produce their collective product” and expose themselves to antitrust claims by the players — claims that if held true can result in treble, or triple, damages. An antitrust lawsuit filed by Tom Brady, Drew Brees and other players is still pending before Nelson. Without a stay, the NFL said, it would be impossible to “unscramble the egg in terms of player transactions (trades, signings, cuts) that would occur in the interim” before a ruling from the appeals court. The league has proposed a specific timeline for the 8th Circuit appeal: a written opening argument due May 10, the same due for the players May 24, the NFL’s reply due May 31 and a hearing after that “as soon as possible.” Such a timeline would mean the legal fight would stretch well into June, a month before training camps and only weeks before the first scheduled preseason game on Aug. 8. In its 23-page motion, the league reiterated three arguments it unsuccessfully made to Nelson: that she had no jurisdiction while a bad-faith negotiation charge against the players is pending with the National Labor Relations Board; that federal law prevents the court from overseeing cases stemming from labor disputes; and that it shouldn’t be subject to antitrust claims with the collective bargaining deal barely expired. The union was dissolved March 11, clearing the way for the legal fight. League rules have effectively been shelved since then. SATURDAY, APRIL 30 10:00 AM GALLIA COUNTY FAIRGROUNDS 1 Mile West of Rt. 160/Rt. 35 Junction on County Rd 35 GALLIPOLIS, OHIO 740-446-2412 �Friday, April 29, 2011 www.mydailysentinel.com The Daily Sentinel • Page B3 New task force to review bowl licensing procedures BY JOHN MARSHALL ASSOCIATED PRESS The NCAA will reexamine its role in licensing bowls and has put a three-year hold on any new games in the wake of the Fiesta Bowl’s problems. The NCAA’s Division I Board of Directors on Thursday approved a new task force to look at the criteria and process for licensing bowls and will not approve any new bowls until updated standards are put into place. Spawned by financial improprieties and apparent political improprieties by the Fiesta Bowl uncovered in March, the task force will look at the oversight of bowl sponsoring agencies, conflict-ofinterest rules and policies, advertising and title-sponsorship standards, along with oversight and reporting of financial management of bowl games. “We’ve actually been talking about it for a number of months,” NCAA President Mark Emmert said. “It’s an issue that I brought up to the board back in January as we were looking at all of the potential roles of the NCAA in what used be called certification and is now called the licensing process. It became clear to me that a review of those criteria of those processes was overdue.” Nebraska chancellor Harvey Perlman will cochair the task force of no more than 10 people with another to-be-named person from outside higher education and athletics. Emmert would like the task force, which will likely include university presidents and managers from nonprofit organizations, to report to him and the Division I board by October. “I welcome President Emmert’s initiative on the creation of the bowl licensing task force and find it very appropriate and timely,” ACC Commissioner John Swofford said. “We want the bowls to operate with the highest standards, and although I think most do, I believe stronger NCAA oversight is a good idea.” Four-year bowl licenses issued by the NCAA in 2010 remain in effect as long as the sponsors meet the current requirements, though existing bowls will be expected to meet any new licensing standards adopted by the Division I board as a result of the task force’s work. All 35 bowls were certified last year through 2013, but are subject to annual reviews. An NCAA subcommittee reaffirmed bowl licenses on Thursday for 32 football bowl games, but delayed licensing decisions on the Fiesta, Insight Point from Page B1 loss for RCHS after three-plus innings of work. Willie Bowman worked four innings of relief for the hosts. Brandon Toler led PPHS with three hits, followed by Roberts and Austen Toler with two safeties apiece. Somerville, Justin Cavender and Evan Potter also had a hit each in the victory. Meigs from Page B1 Hook took the loss for Nelsonville-York. McKinney and Stewart each had two hits, while Nathan Rothgeb, Zach Sayre, Rowe and Austin Sayre each had one hit. Rowe drove in three runs, with Zach Sayre, Stewart, Austin Sayre and Bolin each adding one RBI. and TicketCity bowls until later this spring. An internal investigation of the Fiesta Bowl revealed thousands of dollars in lavish spending, including a birthday party for CEO and President John Junker in Pebble Beach, Calif., the wedding and honeymoon of an aide and a $1,200 strip club tab. In addition, the report detailed some $45,000 in reimbursements to employees for political donations, along with junkets and free game tickets for several Arizona legislators. Junker was fired when the report was made public on March 29. A BCS task force is examining findings from the internal investigation by the Fiesta Bowl and could have a report by mid-May. The BCS could remove the Fiesta Bowl’s status as one of college football’s four premier events. “The BCS group welcomes the announcement made today by the NCAA,” BCS executive director Bill Hancock said. “It’s always beneficial to review best management practices and I look forward to helping the NCAA any way I can.” The IRS also has been asked to examine whether the Fiesta Bowl deserves its nonprofit status, and the Arizona attorney general’s office is looking into the reimbursed political donations, an apparent violation of state laws. The NCAA has the power to revoke the license of the game altogether, but will not decide on further sanctions until later this year, after the BCS finishes its report. “The (Fiesta Bowl) special report was obviously extremely detailed and outlined behaviors none of us would be supportive of and I think the board was forthright in putting all that information before the various bodies,” Emmert said. “I think it’s fair to say those are the kinds of things none of us find acceptable and we all find completely contrary to the values of intercollegiate athletics. We certainly can’t abide by those kind of behaviors.” Fiesta Bowl chairman Duane Woods said the bowl will be so detailed with its compliance, auditing and transparency that he hopes no further action will be required, but welcomed the new task force’s insight. “There’s been a lot of dialogue about it in general,” he said. “Clearly though, I think it’s instructive. I think we all have to reflect on what happened and say, ‘What changes can we make that reflect better compliance and oversight?’” Alex Mace and Cody Starcher led Roane County with two hits apiece. Justin Dynes led the bottom of the first inning off with a solo homer.

AP photo Tiger Woods hits out of a bunker onto the 17th green during the final round of the Arnold Palmer Invitational at Bay Hill golf tournament in Orlando, Fla., Sunday, March 27. Woods has minor knee injury, will miss a few weeks JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (AP) — Tiger Woods has a minor injury to his left knee and Achilles’ tendon that will keep him out of the Wells Fargo Championship next week, raising more questions that his health might be the biggest obstacle in his chase of Jack Nicklaus’ record. Woods said on his website Tuesday that he hurt himself hitting a shot during the third round of the Masters. It’s the fourth time he has missed a tournament because of his left knee. Woods did not say when he might return, but he hopes to be back in a few weeks. “This is precautionary. We’re not at all concerned,” said Mark Steinberg, his agent at IMG. “He’s just listening to his doctors, which is kind of nice. He certainly didn’t listen to them before the U.S. Open in 2008.” Woods won that U.S. Open in a playoff for his 14th major. He hasn’t won a major since then, leaving him four behind the record 18 professional majors won by Nicklaus. Steinberg said Woods has been in a protective boot when he’s moving around and has not hit a shot since the Masters. He said Woods considered playing the Wells Fargo until Tuesday. Woods won at Quail Hollow in 2007 and had not finished worse than 11th in four appearances until a year ago when he missed the cut with his highest 36-hole score. The following week is The Players Championship, which Woods won in 2001, although it is not among his favorite courses. He has finished in the top 10 only four times in 13 appearances and withdrew from the final round a year ago with a neck injury. Steinberg said there was a “reasonable chance” Woods will be at The Players Championship. “We’ll do the same next week, do an early to midweek test to see if it’s good enough where he can be hitting the ball,” he said. Woods described this injury as minor — a mild sprain of his medial collateral ligament in the left knee, along with a mild strain to his left Achilles. Woods said the injury occurred when he had to squat to play a shot from under the Eisenhower tree left of the 17th fairway. His left foot got caught in the pine straw as the momentum of the swing carried him backward. Woods hit into a front bunker and saved par on his way to a 74, then shot 31 on the front nine Sunday to tie for the lead. He wound up tied for fourth, and he appeared to be limping coming to the 18th green. Woods, who held a series of clinics in Asia the week after the Masters, said he later sought a medical evaluation. He said doctors have advised rest and cold-water therapy, along with soft tissue treatment that is to begin this week. “I personally contacted tournament officials and expressed my regret in not being able to play,” Woods said. “This is an outstanding event, but I must follow doctors’ orders to get better.” Woods also missed Quail Hollow in 2006 when his father died and in 2008 while recovering from knee surgery. “Apologies to tourney & fans, but working hard to get healthy,” he said on Twitter. His health is becoming an issue with each year. Woods already has had four operations on his left knee, dating to his freshman year at Stanford to remove two benign tumors and scar issues. His most recent surgery was after winning the U.S. Open in 2008, and he wound up missing the next eight months after his left knee was rebuilt. When he returned from a sex scandal last year at the Masters, Woods revealed that he had ruptured the Achilles in his right leg in December 2008, two months before he came back from the knee surgery. Woods had a cortisone shot in his right ankle last December. Woods, who has fallen to a No. 6 world ranking, has not won since the Australian Masters in November 2009, the longest drought of his career. Eleven majors have been played since he last won, the longest he has gone without winning. Nicklaus holds the record of 18 professional majors, a mark that once looked to be easily within Woods’ reach. �Page B4 • The Daily Sentinel www.mydailysentinel.com NCAA alleges Tressel lied to hide NCAA violations COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — In a sharply worded rebuke of Ohio State’s Jim Tressel, the NCAA on Monday accused the 10-year coach of withholding information and lying to keep Buckeyes players on the field who had accepted improper benefits from the owner of a tattoo parlor. In a “notice of allegations” sent to the school, the NCAA said Monday that the violations relating to the coach are considered “potential major violations.” Ohio State was not cited for the most serious of institutional breaches since Tressel hid information from his superiors for more than nine months. The university has 90 days to respond to the ruling body of college sports’ request for information before a scheduled date before the NCAA’s committee on infractions on Aug. 12 in Indianapolis. In a 13-page indictment of Tressel’s behavior, the NCAA alleged that Tressel had “permitted football student-athletes to participate in intercollegiate athletics while ineligible.” It also said he “failed to deport himself ... (with) honesty and integrity” and said he was lying when he filled out a compliance form in September which said he had no knowledge of any NCAA violations by any of his players. Tressel appeared at an awards banquet outside Cleveland on Monday night, ducking out of the rain to shake hands with Cleveland Browns president Mike Holmgren before slipping into a side room. Tressel ignored reporters’ questions about the NCAA allegations on his way to the hall before accepting a coaching award named for his late father, Lee Tressel. Athletic director Gene Smith said he would have “no comments until the case is resolved.” The university issued a statement that the allegations were consistent with what it had already selfreported to the NCAA on March 8. Tressel’s troubles began with an April 2, 2010, email from Columbus lawyer Christopher Cicero. Cicero, a former Ohio State walk-on player, informed Tressel that a federal agency had raided the house of tattooshop owner Eddie Rife and discovered a multitude of autographed Ohio State jerseys, cleats, pants and helmets, Big Ten championship rings and the “gold pants” trinkets given to Buckeyes players for beating archrival Michigan. Tressel responded, “I will get on it ASAP.” Yet he did not notify Smith or Ohio State President E. Gordon Gee, anyone else in the athletic department, the NCAA compliance department, or anyone in the university’s legal department. Instead, he forwarded the email to Jeannette, Pa., businessman Ted Sarniak, a friend and mentor to star quarterback Terrelle Pryor, who was subsequently discovered to be one of the players involved with Rife. The Columbus Dispatch reported Monday that Tressel went on to exchange at least 12 emails with Cicero, and also had numerous lengthy telephone conversations with Sarniak over the weeks and months ahead. Tressel still did not tell any of his superiors, anyone at the NCAA or his own compliance or legal departments. In September 2010, Tressel even signed a mandatory and rather routine Ohio State compliance form which clearly and simply asks if he the coach has knowledge of any NCAA violations. By signing and dating it, he said that he did not. The U.S. Attorney contacted Ohio State in December to notify the university that it had come across the memorabilia. That prompted a cursory investigation — Smith conceded to The Associated Press last week that the effort was rushed — that did not turn up the telltale emails between Cicero and Tressel but did uncover the players’ involvement with Rife. After consult- Neal C. Lauron/Columbus Dispatch/MCT Ohio State head football coach Jim Tressel talks with Ohio State Buckeyes quarterback Terrelle Pryor (2) during a time out in the second quarter of their NCAA football game at Ohio Stadium in Columbus, Ohio, on Saturday, November 27, 2010. Ohio State won, 37-7. ing with the NCAA and the Big Ten, Pryor and four other top players were handed five-game suspensions — curiously not including the next game, the Sugar Bowl, but beginning with the first five games of the 2011 season. Tressel was asked at a news conference if the players knew they were doing something wrong. “I suppose that would be something rattling around inside the head of each of them individually,” he said. “We all have a little sensor within us, ‘Well, I’m not sure if I should be doing this.’” At the same time he said that, Tressel later admitted he was covering up his own knowledge of the players’ violations. The NCAA and Ohio State say the case against the players is closed. It was only when Ohio State began appealing the players’ suspensions that it uncovered the emails, leading to Tressel ultimately receiving a fivegame suspension and a $250,000 fine. Smith said last week that the fine given to Tressel — who makes around $3.5 million a year — would not cover Ohio State’s costs of the investigation. Tressel has a record of 106-22 at Ohio State and won the 2002 national championship, the Buckeyes’ first in 34 years. His team went 121 last season, including the 31-26 win over Arkansas in the Sugar Bowl. The NCAA could accept Ohio State’s suggestion of sanctions — the five-game suspension and the fine — or could levy much more severe penalties. Since the NCAA says that Tressel knowingly used ineligible players, it would seem probable that the 2010 regular season would be vacated — ending the Buckeyes’ run of Big Ten titles at six in a row. The NCAA could also come down hard on Tressel, compelling Ohio State to add to Tressel’s suspension or issue sanctions leading to the school firing him. Delany feels differently now about Ohio State case Big Ten Commissioner Jim Delany believes he might have acted differently toward five Ohio State players who were allowed to play in the Sugar Bowl despite NCAA violations had he known the information that has since been uncovered. The players were permitted to wait until this fall to begin serving a five-game suspension for accepting money and tattoos from the owner of a Columbus tattoo parlor. It wasn’t until more than a week after the Buckeyes’ 31-26 victory over Arkansas that school officials realized coach Jim Tressel had known about the violations for more than nine months. “Based on what we knew, we just spoke on behalf of the kids and the NCAA made the decision it made,” Delany said Thursday at the annual Bowl Championship Series meetings in New Orleans. “But I don’t think anybody had the knowledge that we have now.” The NCAA is investigating Tressel for knowing about potential major rules violations but not telling Ohio State officials about it. The ruling body of college athletics sent a 13page “notice of allegations” to Ohio State last Friday that said Tressel “failed to deport himself ... (with) honesty and integrity,” and accused him of lying when he filled out a compliance form in September that said he had no knowledge of NCAA violations by any of his players. Tressel and Ohio State are scheduled to go before the NCAA’s infractions committee Aug. 12. “I’m concerned about it. I think it’s a serious situation,” Delany said. “The facts are fairly well known and I think the institution will get in front of the infractions committee and then they’ll render their opinion in a timely way.” Ohio State believes the case is closed on the five players — starting quarterback Terrelle Pryor, offensive lineman Mike Adams, tailback Dan “Boom” Herron and wide receiver DeVier Posey, along with backup defensive lineman Solomon Thomas. Delany said he had no qualms about speaking up for the players. “I spoke on the fact that it wasn’t a recruit- ment issue — it wasn’t an agent issue, it was an extra benefit issue, and it was an extra benefit issue that to our knowledge was isolated and confined,” he said. “So it was on that basis that I appealed on behalf of the school. But we didn’t have the information we have today.” Tressel, who makes about $3.5 million a year, initially received a two-game suspension and $250,000 fine for not passing along the information. The ban was extended to five games to coincide with the players’ punishment. Also Thursday, Ohio State released a letter from a U.S. attorney dated Dec. 7, 2010, in which the school was notified of numerous football jerseys, cleats and other memorabilia discovered during a raid on the home of Edward Rife, the subject of a federal drug-trafficking investigation. It was the letter that eventually led to the players’ suspensions. The letter stated Ohio State players had received between $12,000 and $15,000 in cash, free tattoos and reduced-price tattoos for providing the merchandise, some of which was signed. The letter revealed that there was far more memorabilia found in the raid than previously reported and that it was worth thousands more than originally thought. Tressel and the players participated in spring workouts and are cleared to take part in all preseason and 2011 regular-season practices. They must only be away from the team for Saturday games against Akron, Toledo, at Miami, Colorado and Michigan State. The NCAA could accept Ohio State’s selfreport and the school’s sanctions handed to Tressel, or it could lengthen his suspension, add to the university’s sanctions and even issue a “show cause” to the coach, making it extremely hard for Ohio State to retain him — or for any other NCAA university to hire him. Delany served as an NCAA enforcement committee representative from 1975-79. He was asked if the NCAA’s standard for coaches is comparable to that for student-athletes. “Higher,” Delany said. “Just because they’re the adults, teachers. They’re very different than kids.” Friday, April 29, 2011 Poker indictments present opportunity LAS VEGAS (AP) — Federal indictments targeting the three largest online poker companies present an opportunity for the United States to fully legalize and regulate the $6 billion industry, the chief executive of the world’s largest casino company said Tuesday. Caesars Entertainment Corp. CEO Gary Loveman said in an opinion piece Tuesday on CNNmoney.com that the legal actions against PokerStars, Full Tilt Poker and Absolute Poker won’t change whether millions of Americans want to play online poker. “Instead, the question is this: Should we seize the moment to legalize online poker, permit a safe and legitimate industry in the U.S., and bring these jobs and revenues home?” Loveman said. “Unequivocally, the answer is yes.” The indictments of 11 people accuse the online poker operators of fraud and money laundering to trick banks into processing funds for illegal gambling. PokerStars and Full Tilt have said they plan to defend themselves on the issue, while Absolute said last week it is reviewing court filings with its lawyers. Loveman’s comments are the first public statements about the indictments from the company that owns the World Series of Poker, a prestigious series of card tournaments that attracts thousands of players each year. It’s not immediately clear how the indictments will affect this year’s series, as many players win the $10,000 needed to buy into its main event by winning smaller tournaments hosted by online poker sites. Last year, the main event attracted 7,319 entries and was won by Jonathan Duhamel, an online professional from Canada who was sponsored by PokerStars. He won $8.9 million. Caesars has pushed for the legalization of online gambling for several years, hoping to cash in on the series’ popularity as well as its other brands. Online poker operators and companies that run physical casinos in Las Vegas and elsewhere are nowhere near united over how to handle online gambling. A federal effort pushed by Harry Reid at the end of last year fell short without being attached to a bill, but included provisions that would have required sites like PokerStars and Full Tilt to give up their American business for several years before being allowed back into the marketplace. The District of Columbia is the first jurisdiction within the United States to allow online poker, but it would be up to lottery officials to come up with regulations and decide which games to permit. In Nevada, one of several states that has considered the issue, Caesars opposed a PokerStarsbacked bill to require state gambling regulators to regulate online poker and not deny any operators just because they offered poker to Americans after a 2006 law made it technically illegal. That bill has since been stripped down to limit who could enter the marketplace and say online poker wouldn’t be implemented until Congress or the Justice Department sanctions the activity. Loveman said Tuesday in the opinion piece that federal legislation is the only way to create a wellregulated system. “Only federal legislation can clear up the current ambiguities in U.S. law and crack down on other online gambling like sports betting and casino games,” Loveman said. While the three companies indicted have moved away from taking American customers, other sites are still offering online poker in the U.S. Loveman compares the current market to alcohol prohibition in the 1920s, saying adults are being hamstrung by a law keeping them from activities they consider appropriate. “Business is being diverted from legitimate, respected companies that employ thousands of people to fly-by-night, underground (and in this case, foreign) operations,” Loveman said.
