Fees likely on the rise in Pomeroy By Sarah Hawley shawley@mydailytribune.com POMEROY — Pomeroy Council approved the first reading of ordinances that would raise fees in the Village of Pomeroy during Monday’s regular meeting. Council approved the first reading of ordinances 753, 754, and 755, which all deal with various fees collected by the village. Ordinance 755 would set new fees for violations which occur within Pomeroy village limits. Court costs would rise to $85, while the holding cell fee would become $55 for six hours. Current court costs are $75 per case, with the current holding cell fee for $55 for eight hours. Another significant fee change involves speeding tickets. Ticket amounts are currently based on the number of miles per hour over the speed limit — increasing one dollar for each mile per hour over the limit. The new ordinance would set ticket costs at $120 for under 20 miles per hour over the limit, while the cost would be $150 for any violation more than 20 miles per hour over the speed limit. According to Pomeroy Police Chief Mark Proffitt, the higher level violation (more than 20 miles per hour over the limit) would also result in more points on the driver’s license.

The origins of ‘Wahama’ noted in presentation See FEES, 2 By Nathan Jeffers njeffers@heartlandpublications.com POINT PLEASANT — Mason County has such a rich history, it’s sometimes easy to forget parts of it. On Dec. 13, before the boys’ varsity basketball game, Suzanne Dickens, superintendent of Mason County Schools, and Melissa VanMeter, assistant principal of Wahama High School, presented a plaque to Julia Fluharty and her children, in honor eather of Fluharty’s grandmother, Bertha Julia Steinbach Filson, who coined the name “Wahama.” Originally from Middleport, Ohio, Bertha Julia Steinbach was born on Aug. 19, 1883. Her family moved to Point Pleasant in 1891. After finishing her education at Marshall College Normal School in 1901, she returned High: 42 to Point Pleasant to be a teacher, and Low: 28 in 1916 she married William C. Filson, and had one daughter, Eleanor. ndex According to Fluharty, her grand1 SECTION — 10 PAGES mother had to run, and be elected, in Classifieds 7-8 order to become superintendent of Mason County Schools, which she Comics 9 did successfully in 1923. After Filson Faith and Family 4 was elected, she was heavily involved Sports 5-8 in combining the three school districts into one. The name “Wahama” © 2011 Ohio Valley Publishing Co. is sometimes thought to be a Native American name, but in fact, Filson created the name from the first two letters of each of the three school districts, which were Waggoner, Hartford, and Mason. W I Nathan Jeffers/photo Pictured is the plaque dedicated to Bertha Juila Steinbach Filson, who coined the name “Wahama.” The plaque was presented to her family before the boy’s varsity basketball game on Dec. 13, 2011. Fluharty said her grandmother was the first female superintendent in the county, and possibly the first in the state of West Virginia, as well. In 1926, she was named the president of the West Virginia Education Association, and in 1929 she became a life member of the National Education Association. Following the death of her husband in 1931, she continued her education See ORIGINS, 2 Groceries gifted to Meigs County families Charlene Hoeflich/photo The auditorium of the Mulberry Community Center half-full of bags of groceries to be given to families in need of food for use during this holiday season will be emptied by 4 p.m. today.

Also included in the ordinance is an increase in parking ticket fees. Currently, overtime parking tickets are $3, but would increase to $5. Fees — as they do now — would double after 72 hours. Ordinance 753 — which also had the first reading on Monday — would add a $5 surcharge to local water and sewer bills. The fee, which would take effect on February 1, 2012 if passed, would be marked as a “loan repayment fee” and have a separate line on the village budget. Weather Money raised by this fee would be used to repay any FEMA projects and to repay any loans secured for those projects. After those uses, the money would be used for other infrastructure improvements. Payment of fees was the topic of ordinance 754. The ordinance would allow for the village to put a credit card machine in place for people to pay fees and bills. The village would charge a flat fee of $3 to process ATM (debit) cards and credit cards under $150, with transactions more than $150 incurring a three percent fee. The village would have the ability to accept Visa, MasterCard and Discover cards, but would not take American Express. Friday: Partly sunny, with a high near 42. Northwest wind between 3 and 5 mph.

In her retirement, she was very active in the community and various organizations until her death on Feb. 8, 1976. According to Fluharty, she and her children, Kristopher and Jodi Myers, are Filson’s only descendants. The story of how her grandmother named Wahama High school is an older one, and over the years has unfortunately become a little lost. Fluharty had asked for something to honor her grandmother and her contri- butions, so that this story, and her grandmother, will never be forgotten. She was happy to report that this plaque was more than she was expecting. “We wanted to preserve the history,” Fluharty said. She reported that the first year Wahama was in session, the yearbook was dedicated to her grandmother, and contained some information about her life. Nowadays, that yearbook may be difficult to track down, and could possibly be forgotten. But now, this plaque will perhaps serve as a reminder of the true story of Wahama’s origins and will allow this story to be remembered for many years to come.

He’s coming home for the holiday vacation soon, and our family is nervous that he’s planning on breaking up with her. She’s great for him, and we hoped their relationship would last. What can we do to encourage him to stay with his high-school sweetheart and not drop her just because they’ve gone to college? — L.R. Dear L.R.: It may be hard, but the best thing you can do for your son probably is to do nothing. He’s old enough, at this point, to be making his own decisions regarding his relationships, and regardless of whether you like his highschool girlfriend, he needs to make the best choices for his own life. Parental pressure one way or another rarely helps, unless he’s acting up against the values you taught him as a child — cheating or lying, for instance. The only advice you should give is for him to act respectfully and do the right thing, whether that is breaking up or staying together. It can be difficult for college freshmen to return to their hometowns at holiday time, often for the first visit since they left at the beginning of the semester, and this homecoming can spur changes in relationships that may have only been holding on by a thread in the first place. Long-distance relationships are hard enough, and at a time like the first year of college — when kids are changing so much and so quickly — it can be quite difficult to expect that high-school sweethearts will stay sweet. Kids end up feeling either tied down and unable to engage fully in college, or guilty when they begin to engage Dr. Joyce and start forging a new life with different people. This potential breakup will be hard on your son, so try your best to support him, no matter what his decision is in the end. * ** Dear Dr. Brothers: My husband and I recently decided to try to have children. My dad was never around when I was growing up because he worked long hours, and I really don’t want that to be the case with my husband and our child. I know his career is important to him, but fatherhood should be equally important. How can I emphasize that I need him to be committed to being a good father, not just to his career? — J.D. Dear J.D.: The most important thing that you can do is let him know that you value him as a father, and that you want him to be as committed to fatherhood as he is to his career. While you may have fears about this because of your own Brothers yours. In fact, though, you may have less to worry about than you think. According to the results of a recent nationwide survey, published in the journal Fathering, the traditional stereotype of the absent, career-focused father may be out of date. Almost 80 percent of men in this survey considered being a good father very important, while only about 50 percent said the same of having a successful career. These men viewed work and leisure time as complementary to being a good father, rather than as things that would compete with the ability to be a good father. So, your husband likely doesn’t have to choose between a successful career and being a great parent, but rather can — and should — try to excel at both of these endeavors. You can help him do so by supporting him and encouraging him to be the best father he can be. This week in the Ohio Senate COLUMBUS — In Wednesday’s session, the Ohio Senate considered the following bills for concurrence:John Glenn Friendship 7 Day: Senate Bill 155, sponsored by Senator Tom Sawyer (D- Akron) and former Senator Gary Cates, designates February 20 as “John Glenn Friendship 7 Day” in recognition of John Glenn’s participation in the first orbital space mission of the U.S. Contingent on its approval by the Ohio House, the Senate will also take up the following bill for concurrence:Nursing Home Quality: Senate Bill 264, sponsored by Senator Shannon Jones (R- Springboro), implements the recommendations of the Unified Long-Term Care System Advisory Workgroup regarding the quality incentive payments to be paid to nursing facilities under the Medicaid program, an important step in connecting patient-centered care and health outcomes to reimbursement. The Senate will also consider the following legislation:Securitization: Senate Bill 248, sponsored by Senator Troy Balderson (R- Zanesville), establishes standards for the securitization of costs for utility companies that distribute electricity. The process allows companies to reduce the interest they pay on debt, which can lead to lower utility rates for consumers. There are currently 19 other states that allow for securitization by electric distribution utilities.Blue Alert Program: Sponsored by Senators Gayle Manning (R- North Ridgeville) and Tom Patton (RStrongsville), Senate Bill 258 would establish a statewide “Blue Alert” program in Ohio . The program, which is currently in operation in more than a dozen other states, uses existing broadcast systems to provide a description and other information about a suspect in the event a law enforcement officer is injured or killed while on duty and the suspect remains at large.Used Motor Vehicle Dealers: Sponsored by Senator Jim Hughes (RColumbus), Senate Bill 245 requires new applicants for a motor vehicle dealer’s license to complete training in order to receive a license and establishes basic qualifications for training courses to be considered legitimate.Traffic Control: Senate Bill 252, sponsored by Senator Patton, establishes statewide standards for the design and use of traffic control devices on all public highways in Ohio . Traffic devices must conform to certain specifications published by the Federal Highway Administration, which updated the Federal Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices in 2010. Ohio and other states must update their own manual by 2012 or face withholding of federal highway-aid funds.Displaying POW/MIA Flags: Senate Bill 222, sponsored by Senator Dave Burke (R- Marysville), would require the Ohio Department of Transportation to display the POW/MIA flag at each rest area along interstate highways and the Ohio Turnpike, in addition to the U.S. flag and the Ohio state flag. Current law encourages the POW/MIA flag to be flown over each public building in Ohio , but does not require it.Memorial Highway: Senate Bill 259, sponsored by Senators Larry Obhof and Frank LaRose (R- Copley), creates the “ First Lieutenant John M. Runkle, Jr. Memorial Highway ” along I-71 in Wayne County . Lt. Runkle was killed in the line of duty earlier this year while serving with the 101st Airborne Division in support of Operation Enduring Freedom.Local Government Innovation Fund: House Bill 371, sponsored by Representatives Ron Amstutz (R- Wooster) and W. Carlton Weddington (D- Columbus), makes adjustments to the Local Government Innovation Program that was established in the state budget passed earlier this year.

Currently, A-3a permits can only be issued in counties with a population exceeding 800,000. House Bill 243 eliminates the population requirement, as well as the restriction of only one A-3a permit per county. This will allow more permits to be issued in Ohio, increasing the opportunities for distillers to locate in the state.Corporations Law: House Bill 48, sponsored by Representative John Carney (D- Clintonville) and former Representative Bob Mecklenborg (R- Cincinnati), makes several revisions to Ohio ’s laws governing corporations. The changes seek to modernize the statutes involving corporate dissenter’s rights, corporate dissolution and limited liability companies. Portable Electronics Insurance: House Bill 250, sponsored by Representative Bob Hackett (R- London), creates a licensing framework for the sale of portable electronics insurance in Ohio .

At 5:00 p.m. December 15, 1967, this mighty structure collapsed, carrying scores of vehicles with it into the icy Ohio.” This picture is for the many Bend area residents who may have never seen the bridge except in pictures of the fall or have forgotten how it looked when it stood.

Bailey of Albany, recently completed 12 weeks of basic training at Marine Corps Recruit Depot, Parris Island, S. C designed to challenge new Marine recruits both physical- ly and mentally. Young and fellow recruits began their training at 5 a. m., by running three miles and performing calisthenics. In addition to the physical conditioning program, Young spent numerous hours in classroom and field as- signments which included learning first aid, uniform regulations, combat water survival, marksmanship, hand-to-hand combat and assorted weapons training. They performed close order drill and operated as a small infantry unit during field training. Young and other recruits also received instruction on the Marine Corps’ core values—honor, courage and commitment, and what the core values mean in guiding personal and professional conduct. Young and fellow recruits ended the training phase with The Crucible, a 54-hour, team evolution culminating in an emotional ceremony in which recruits are presented the Marine Corps Emblem, and addressed as “Marines” for the first time in their careers. Grange passes resolution opposing Ohio’s double primary RACINE — A resolution opposing double primaries in Ohio was passed by Racine Grange at a recent meeting. In the discussion of the requirement to have a double primary, the legislative agent reported that this was due to a recent problem resulting from Democrats opposing the Republican majority in redistricting. If two primaries are not Ohio Briefs held, it could resort in the courts doing the redistricting, it was reported. The resolution by the Grange opposes the additional primary charging it would be a waste of $15 million. A letter was also sent to Governor John Kasich opposing any change in the Great Seal of Ohio. Members felt that this, too, would be costly and that it would also open up the idea Action will extend overtime rules to Ohio home care COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Ohioans who provide in-home care for the sick and elderly would be able to claim overtime under an executive action taken by President Barack Obama on Thursday. Ohio is one of five states that do not allow home care providers to seek overtime pay. Home care workers provide services such as tube feeding, wound care and assistance with physical therapy. The order extends federal minimum wage and overtime rules to nearly 2 million home care providers nationwide. Ohio already extends the minimum wage to those workers. The order arose from a 2007 case where the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that a home care worker who put it as much as 70 hours a week was not entitled to overtime pay under existing rules. Ohio governor signs March 6 primary date into law COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Ohio Gov. John Kasich has signed into law a bill that puts in place new U.S. House district lines and lem of zoo animals being released in Ohio, and the question arose about the statutorial power of a county humane society role and questions of animal and care. Members voted to prepare Christmas fruit baskets for the elderly in the community. Plans were also completed to have a reception to honor those members with 55 and 60 for additional revisions in the future. Members discussed the movie “Gasland” with reports indicating that the content was incorrect because it implied fracking caused water to burst into flame from the tap. The cause of that was methane which has nothing to do with fracking, according to the group. Members also discussed the prob- reunites the state’s primaries to March 6. The legislation cleared the state Legislature with bipartisan votes on Wednesday night. Lawmakers wanted to avoid holding a second primary in June for presidential and U.S. House candidates. It would have cost taxpayers an additional $15 million. The law puts an end to months of political wrangling over the congressional map. It also establishes a task force to recommend changes to the mapmaking process. Ohio’s primaries were separated in October to give lawmakers more time to compromise on the congressional boundaries. Democrats had been gathering signatures in an effort to ask voters to repeal a separate Republicandrawn map on next year’s ballots. ing death of Michael E. Snader Jr. Prosecutor Michael Gmoser said in a statement that Vaughn used justifiable lethal force when he fired multiple shots at 33-yearold Snader on Nov. 22. Ross Township officers were responding to a domestic violence call at a home near Hamilton. Gmoser says the conclusion from investigations by the sheriff, coroner and grand jury is that the death resulted from Snader refusing to put down his gun as directed and pointing it at Vaughn.

Ohio employees’ union approves new state contract COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Ohio’s largest state employee union has voted to support a threeyear deal with the state, in the first major bargaining agreement to follow the defeat of a contentious collective bargaining law. The Ohio Civil Service Employees Association on Thursday said 84 percent of its voting members backed the agreement. The union representing 32,000 public workers struck the deal in November. The state’s controlling board has already signed off. The agreement extends the current contract until 2015. It continues to require employees to contribute 15 percent toward their health care. It maintains other contract provisions but not furlough days or freezes in personal leave effective in the first two years of the pact. Base wages wouldn’t increase, 22 Ohio counties get state grant to share services COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — The state is awarding $500,000 in grant money to 22 southern Ohio counties to create a program to share some services with the hope of saving taxpayer money. Two $250,000 grants were given to two consortiums serving 527,000 students in 80 school districts across 22 counties. Ohio Education Department spokesman Patrick Gallaway says the goal is to save money by having districts team up on things like bussing students and purchasing supplies in bulk. The money was set aside by No charges against officer who fatally shot Ohio man HAMILTON, Ohio (AP) — A police officer will not face criminal charges for fatally shooting a man last month in southwest Ohio.

The Dow Jones industrial average rose 45.33 points, or 0.4 percent, to 11,868.81. The Dow had lost 360 points over the past three days on worries that Europe’s latest plan to keep its currency union intact would fail. Jack Ablin, chief investment officer at Harris Bank, said the break from selling meant that investors are starting to focus on signs of strength in the U.S. economy. “We’re not completely insulated (from Europe), but trouble there doesn’t necessary spell problems for us,” he said.

Mayors group says illegal online gun sales easy COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — An investigation by New York City finds that many unlicensed online gun sellers in Ohio are agreeing to sell firearms to people who say they would fail a background check. The investigation found that 10 of 27 Ohio unlicensed online gun sellers agreed to sell to investigators who said they would probably fail a background check. Only licensed gun dealers have to perform background checks, but it is illegal for an unlicensed merchant to sell a gun to someone they think would fail the check. Columbus Mayor Michael Coleman says websites should require sellers to identify themselves and Congress pass legislation to tighten up background check requirements. The nationwide investigation of 10 websites and 125 sellers found 62 percent were willing to sell guns illegally. �The Daily Sentinel What a wonderful and funfilled time of year! Carols are being sung with no one caring if they’re off key or not; presents are being purchased (if not being fought over); lights are blinking and winking from our houses, lamp posts, and department stores; and classic Christmas specials are on our televisions strumming the chords of our sentimentality. Christmas is that special time of year when hearts can’t help but seem to overflow and elves again figure highly in our cultural mythos. But, when all has been said and done, what is it really that we’re celebrating? Just what is all the hubbub about anyway? Many a “Merry Christmas” is thrown around with such casualness that it skirts dangerously close to triteness. Traditions largely ignore the holy significance of the occasion, allowing it to be so eclipsed by pleasurable trivialities that many who celebrate Christmas don’t even really know what it’s all about. It’s even possible that many who think they know what it’s all about somehow are really missing the awesome point of Christmas. They allow the sum total of their Faith and Family A Hunger For More religious perspective to rest in a manger filled with hay, failing to notice that the One Who once occupied it moved on to a cross, then a grave, and then, being resurrected, an eternal throne. “That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes,” records the Apostle John, “which we have looked at and our hands have touched – this we proclaim concerning the Word of Life. The Life appeared; we have seen it and testify to it, and we proclaim to you the eternal life, which was with the Father and has appeared to us” (1 John 1:1-2). Christmas is the celebration of the appearance of the Life of God into the human experience. In a moment, the Word of God was spoken into physical form as His essence took on human flesh. The historical fact of His arrival on planet earth proved the indomitable intent of God to reconcile His rebellious creation with Himself. He came. He lived. He loved. He suffered. He died. He rose again. And now He reigns. Christmas is when we celebrate the Christ Child’s advent into the world but it’s about so much more than a baby in a stable.

Enjoy it by coming to Him, being forgiven of your sin, and being made new. Enjoy the significance of the holiday, which is not about our giftgiving, time off from school, or even family gatherings. Enjoy with a heart full of appreciation and wonder the incredible love of God that moved Him from His throne to a temporary respite in a humble animal stall and then on to a cruel cross on which He would die for you, only to then resume His place on His throne forever! “O come let us adore Him!

She can be a relatively grumpy cat anyway, but add an “intruder” to the equation, and it just is not pretty. As she has grown older, she has gone from being a street smart rescue cat to being one of the family. She is like the crabby relative you love, but rarely please. Given that she is rarely pleased, this was a particularly prickly day. As the weather has become colder, Ms. Beasley stays inside more. She once was an incredible farm cat and excellent huntress. She can still come through when she really wants to, but not in the cold. The Gray Lady is showing signs of her age. Her main past time is sleeping with a great liking for sleeping on my lap. Given her body’s issue with the cold, I moved her food and water dish inside because she has not been able to handle going out for much longer than a “potty break”. You see my cat is far too snooty for a litter box. She informs us with a glare and a specific meow when she needs to go outside. If you miss the cue, she sits by the door and looks at you like you’re an idiot. Then when you do open the door, she chastises you by this obnoxious meow which sounds very much like a nagging old woman. She was delighted at having the access easier for the food and water.

Search the Scriptures “…these were more noble…they searched the scriptures daily…” Whosoever cometh to me, and heareth my sayings, and doeth them, I will show “And why call ye me, Lord, Lord, and do not the things which I say say? you whom he is like: He is like a man which built an house, and digged deep, and laid the foundation upon a rock: and when the flood arose, the stream beat vehemently upon that house, and could not shake it: for it was founded upon a rock. But he that heareth, and doeth not, is like a man that without a foundation built an house upon the earth; against which the stream did beat vehemently, and immediately it fell; and the ruin of that house was great” [Luke 6:46-49]. The New Testament makes clear Jesus Christ is the Foundation of His church. After Peter made the great confession that “Thou [Jesus Christ] art the Christ, the Son of the living God [Matt. 16:16b], Jesus affirmed that that confession was the “rock” upon which He would build His church [Matt. 16:18]. A well-known religious group tries to teach the “rock” was Peter; thus, setting him up as the head of the church. However, a simple word study of the original language shows the name “Peter” is derived from “petros,” or a pebble; the word “rock” comes from “petra,” a massive Need to advertise? Call The Daily Sentinel 740.992.2155 rock. Jesus is the head of His church [“And hath put all things under his feet, and gave him to be the head over all things to the church” - Eph. 1:22]. We further learn Jesus’ church is “his body” [Ephesians 1:23]. God further confirms Jesus is the head of the church, and the church is His body, in Col. 1:18: “And he is the head of the body, the church:…” We learn in Ephesians 4:4 there is “one body.” Paul reminds us, “for other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ” [1 Cor. 3:11]. It is simple to see there is one church that can be assured Jesus is its Builder, its Foundation, and its Head. Over the years, men have set up their churches, with builders, heads, and foundations other than Christ’s church. We name a few: John Smith; Charles and John Wesley; Calvin; Mary Baker Eddy; against Luther’s wishes, his followers set up a church which incorporates his name; the officials of another church gradually made more and more rules, finally setting up one man over the “world-wide church.” Have you researched the origins of “your” church? Do you know whether “your” church teaches doctrine that is different from God’s approved doctrine, found in the New Testament? If “your” church does so, do you know why? At the invitation of a member of a lo- cal denomination, I attended a revival with him. A preacher who was also visiting the revival, was asked to lead prayer. We know from God’s Word that Jesus built one church, and that Jesus is the Foundation and the Head of His church. With that in mind, note the preacher’s statement in his prayer: “Lord, we are thankful for the many faiths we have, and the many ways we have to worship thee.” Contrast this man’s statement with Jesus’ prayer: “Neither pray I for these alone [the apostles], but for them also which shall believe on me through their word; that they all may be one; as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, that they also may be one in us: that the world may believe that thou hast sent me” [John 17:20,21]. Note one benefit to the world from all Christians working and worshipping together in Jesus’ one Body: “that the world may believe that thou hast sent me.” The division among those who want to call themselves “Christians” actually hinders the world from coming to Him! More: “Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me” [John 14:6]. Paul makes clear there is one gospel to be preached: “I marvel that ye are so soon removed from him that called you into the grace of Christ unto another gospel: which is not another; but there be some that trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ. But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed. As we said before, so say I now again, if any man preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed” [Galatians 1:6-10]. God tells us there is “one faith” [Eph. 4:5]. God tells us the path by which faith comes: “So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God” [Romans 10:17]. True faith doesn’t come by hearing a man, no matter how learned, religious, zealous, or entertaining he may be. To be sure one’s faith matches that which is acceptable to God, one must search the New Testament, the portion of the Bible in which is recorded the law of God under which we live in the present age. Readers, examine that which you believe, teach, and practice. Examine the church with which you are joined. Then, search the scriptures. See what God and Jesus have to say about the gospel, the faith, the way, the doctrine, the church. You are invited to bring your Bible, search the scriptures with the church of Christ, meeting at 234 Chapel Drive [off Bulaville Road].

Everybody but Sullinger, that is. Deshaun Thomas scored 23 points and No. 2 Ohio State welcomed back Sullinger in an 82-58 victory over South Carolina Upstate on Wednesday night. “I was terrible tonight,” he said with a laugh after collecting a workmanlike 12 points and 10 rebounds in 33 minutes. “I was tired. Taking two weeks off is a killer.” The 6-foot-9 sophomore wasn’t cleared to play until earlier Wednesday. He had missed the Buckeyes’ win over Texas-Pan American and Saturday’s 78-67 loss at No. 13 Kansas. Coach Thad Matta said Sullinger played just about the way he expected. “I thought he did a pretty decent job,” Matta said. “He hadn’t played since the Duke game (an 85-63 rout on Nov. 29). To get him out there and get him moving, he knew he was going to be rusty and probably a little bit winded. But now that gives him some confidence to get back (to where he was) and to go to work.” Sullinger received polite applause when he entered the game at the 14:37 mark of the first half. He took his time getting into the pace of the game. “Sullinger looked like all really good players,” Spartans coach Eddie Payne said. “He had quiet production. He had 12 and 10 and didn’t seem like he did a whole lot.” It was Sullinger who suggested to Matta that he not start. “That was actually my decision,” Sullinger said. “Evan (Ravenel) worked so hard these past two weeks and I really didn’t practice even yesterday. It’s kind of unfair to Evan. He deserved to start. So I told Coach Matta, ‘Start Evan tonight and have me come off the bench.’” Torrey Craig had 20 points for Upstate (6-5), playing its third game in a monthlong, seven-game road swing. The Spartans, in their fifth season of Division I competition, and are 0-20 against teams from the six major conferences. The win was Ohio State’s 31st straight at home, the second-longest streak ever at the school behind only the 50 in a row from 195964 while Jerry Lucas, John Havlicek and Gary Bradds were the stars.

The host Blue Angels (17, 0-3 SEOAL) never led in the contest, committed 21 turnovers and shot just 24 percent overall from the field, as the unbeaten Ironladies (6-0, 3-0) stormed out to a 20-2 advantage with 1:38 left in the opening canto. GAHS, which tied the game at 2-all with 7:16 showing in the first quarter, watched as Jackson ran off 18 straight points over a 5:38 span — allowing JHS to establish a sizable margin for the rest of the night.

Ohio (8-1) is off to its best start since 1954-55, eclipsing the 1969-70 NCAA Tournament team that began its campaign 7-1.

Reggie Keely added 13 points for the Bobcats, Nick Kellogg had 12 and Stevie Taylor and Walter Offutt scored 11 apiece.

Point football lands 7 on Class AA all-state squad Grant Traylor Special to OVP HUNTINGTON, W.Va. – Over the last 15 years, Wayne football coach Tom Harmon has been steadfast in his philosophy of getting many players involved in lieu of having one standout athlete carry the weight of a team. That philosophy proved beneficial on both team and individual fronts in 2011 as the Pioneers earned the 2011 Class AA championship while placing six total members on the Class AA AllState teams, as voted on by the West Virginia Sports Writers Association. Led by its strong nucleus of players, Wayne earned a 34-7 win over Point Pleasant, who also placed five players on the first two teams. The Class AA championship game featured two of the top performers in 2011 with Wayne’s Brandon Spurlock, a first-team running back selection, and Point Pleasant’s Eric Roberts, who was named as a first-team utility selection. Joining Roberts at utility was Roane County’s Dylan Cottrell, who earned the nomination of first-team offensive captain after a standout year in a 2011 campaign where Class AA offenses were the most potent in the state. Cottrell joined with teammate Briar Nichols (offensive line) to give Roane County a pair of selections on the firstteam offense - one of three teams to earn that distinction. In addition to Roane County’s tandem, Shady Spring had a pair of offensive threats with quarterback Adam Weeks and wide receiver Chase Conner while Magnolia boasted of running back Jayson Keller and wide receiver Stephen Rogalski, who was the lone returnee to the first-team offense. Joining Spurlock and Keller at running back were Lincoln’s Tyler Benton and Greenbrier West’s Dylan Trout - a first-team linebacker selection from 2010. The offensive line consisted of Nichols, Chapmanville’s John Toler, Ravenswood’s Chad Burrows, Grafton’s Jeremiah Deem and Brandon Williams of Oak Hill. Lucas McDowell of Oak Glen joined Roberts and Cottrell as a utility selection while the first-team kicker was Herbert Hoover’s Joey Forbes. Wayne’s Allen Bryant, the firstteam defensive captain, was the lone returnee for the first-team defense, moving from defensive line in 2010 to linebacker in 2011. Bryant was joined by teammate Tyler Adkins, a defensive utility selection, to round out Wayne’s three firstteam selections. The defensive line included Oak Glen’s Preston Murray, Lincoln’s Frank Wright, Point Pleasant’s Connor Templeton, River View’s LeShon Benton and WestSide’s Justin Tilley, who made the jump after being a secondteam selection in 2010. Joining Bryant at the linebacker spots are Shady Spring’s Coty Frye, Point Pleasant’s Jason Stouffer and Ritchie County’s Darrenger Goff.

What a waste. In many ways there is no more damning indictment of the Bowl Championship Series and college football’s bloated bowl postseason than Moore and this group of Boise State seniors being relegated to a third-tier game.

The guests closed regulation with a small 8-7 spurt to Squad From Page 5 Tolsia’s Jacob Copley, Oak Glen’s Jeff Hissam and Ravenswood’s Zack Martin. In addition to Adkins, the defensive utility spots were occupied by Ravenswood’s Jeremy Lawrence and Braxton County’s Jacob Yanero. The second-team punter was Mingo Central’s Ashton Cline. Braxton County quarterback Jordan Lacy earned the nod as captain of the second team offense. Second-team running backs included Scott’s Draven Riffe, Independence’s Travis Mills and Ritchie County’s Reno Jackson. Offensive linemen on the second team were Wayne’s Anthony Bryant, Point Pleasant’s Trey Livingston, Logan Hartsog of Shady Spring, Tyler Poling of Philip Barbour and Keyser’s Michael Mallow. Point Pleasant’s Brandon Toler and Berkeley Springs’ Andrew Truax were the wide receivers while utility selections went to Marcus Schofield of Wyoming East, Sissonville’s Trent Stowers and Grafton’s Ivy Bartlett. Ravenswood’s Brandon Cunningham was the kicker for the second team. There was a five-man front on the second-team defensive www.mydailysentinel.com wrap up the 34-point decision. Gallia Academy connected on just 7-of-29 field goals, including a 3-of-6 effort from three-point range for 50 percent. The hosts also posted team numbers of 13 rebounds, six assists, six steals and one block in the setback. Kendra Barnes led GAHS with nine points, followed by Chelsy Sloan with five points and Brittany Lloyd with three markers. Mattie Lanham and Jessica Dotson each added two points, while Halley Barnes and Violet Pelfrey rounded things line - Wayne’s Dwight Blankenship, Chapmanville’s Joe Woody, Poca’s James Meade, WestSide’s Dustin Tilley and Roane County’s Sam Whiting. Linebackers included Keyser’s Danny Fife, the second-team defensive captain, Braxton County’s Joe Wilfong, Summers County’s Jesse Howdershelt, Evan Cline of Tyler Consolidated and Lincoln’s Jacob Blake. Defensive backs for the unit were Wayne’s Austin Pyles, Scott’s Jesse Belcher and Ty Noss of Liberty (Harrison). Defensive utility selections went to River View’s Jacob Muncy and Oak Hill’s Sean Bunting while Philip Barbour’s Tyler Scheifelbein rounded out the second-team at punter.

It doesn’t make sense to anybody. I don’t think anybody is happy anywhere. “The whole thing needs to be changed, there’s no question about it,” he said. ” … I think (change) is coming, I really do.” Buckeyes www.mydailysentinel.com Too late for this band of Broncos, though. In four seasons as a starter, Moore has led Boise State to 49 victories and thrown 140 touchdown passes, second on the NCAA career list. Of course, it’s not just Moore. Fellow seniors such as second-team All-American tackle Nate Potter, thirdteam All-American safety From Page 5 points for the Buckeyes. After the Spartans scored the first four points of the second half to cut the deficit to 37-31, the Buckeyes pulled away. Sullinger, who played the last 14:37 of the first half and the first 7:20 of the second and a couple of minutes late, hit two free throws George Iloka, defensive tackles Billy Winn and Chase Baker and running back Doug Martin have formed the foundation of team that has lost twice the last two seasons. Both times they were a last-second field goal away from earning BCS bids. Instead, it’s been two straight postseason trips to Las Vegas. There’s no denying and Lenzelle Smith Jr. made a drive down the heart of the lane. After a basket by Upstate, Ohio State scored on its next three possessions a dunk by Sullinger, Thomas off a long pass from Smith and Aaron Craft on lefthanded layup off a baseline drive. That made it 47-36 and the lead never dropped below nine points again. “I felt I played really well,” Thomas said. “It’s a learning process. I’m just trying to get better The Daily Sentinel • Page 8 Boise State’s gaudy record has been inflated by playing in conferences the Western Athletic Conference, before coming to the Mountain West this season with more than a few soft spots. There is also no denying the Broncos have proved capable of beating good teams from power conferences. Just ask Oregon, Georgia and Virginia Tech. as a player.” It was Upstate which set the pace for most of the first half, playing sticky defense at one end and patiently distributing the ball at the other. The Spartans led 21-17, scoring 16 of 21 points after Sullinger entered the game. But order was restored late in the half. From a tie at 26, the Buckeyes sprinted to an 11-2 run to finish the half. The bowl seasons should have been another chance to see Boise State take on the heavyweights, to find out if the Broncos were truly worthy of being labeled national championship contenders. Maybe Moore would have gotten buried by a good SEC defense. Maybe Winn and company would have gotten shredded by a Big 12 offense. The hat- Sullinger, who finished the half with eight points and five rebounds, started it with an uncontested dunk off a quick pass from Buford before Thomas hit a halfhook off an offensive rebound. After Adrian Rodgers hit a perimeter jumper for the Spartans, Buford poured in a 3 from the right wing.

Or maybe the Broncos would have cut a couple more of the so-called college football elite down to size and stuck it to the doubters. Come to think of it, it’s not just Moore who deserved better, it’s all college football fans.

Suddenly, the crowd of 13,552 was breathing a lot easier. “We played 18 1-2 good minutes in the first half and then after that the experienced talent and coaching scheme and their team really hurt us,” Payne said. Clippers get Chris Paul in big trade with Hornets LOS ANGELES (AP) — Chris Paul will supply the Los Angeles Clippers with so much more than alley-oop passes to Blake Griffin when he arrives in Hollywood on Thursday night. A bold trade for New Orleans’ superstar point guard on Wednesday just might alter the entire sports world’s perception of the Clippers. After managing just six winning seasons in their first 41 years of existence, the bumbling Clippers suddenly look slick and scintillating after swinging arguably the biggest trade in franchise history, giving them two of the NBA’s elite players and a capable supporting cast. Outfoxing the Lakers and thrilling their longsuffering fans, Los Angeles on Wednesday traded highscoring guard Eric Gordon, former All-Star cen- ter Chris Kaman, forward Al-Farouq Aminu and a first-round draft choice acquired from Minnesota for Paul, the four-time All-Star widely considered to be the NBA’s best point guard. “We decided for a player of Chris’ caliber that it was just time to make the move and push all our chips into the center of the table,” Clippers vice president of basketball operations Neil Olshey told the team’s website. “We’re really happy about it. Chris is the kind of player that makes everybody around him better. He’s a general. He wins. He’s a warrior, and he’s going to take this whole organization to the next level.” Even the Clippers themselves had trouble believing what their front office had just done in the moments after the trade was announced. Most of the players including the ones who were traded were on a holiday bus ride with season-ticket holders when their phones blew up with the news. Griffin’s reaction was captured by television cameras after he chestbumped center DeAndre Jordan: “Lob city!” It’s already a T-shirt in Los Angeles, and it should be a way of life when the playmaking Paul and the high-flying NBA Rookie of the Year get together. While armchair analysts debate who won the trade and wonder whether the club can keep its newfound assets for the long term, it’s clear that suddenly the Clippers don’t seem to be the modern archetype for sports ineptitude. Sure, Los Angeles has missed the playoffs 13 times in the last 14 seasons, going 32-50 last spring in Do we have your attention now? Advertise your business in this space, or bigger Call us at: The Daily Sentinel 740.992.2155 the Clippers’ 18th nonwinning season in the past 19 years. The former Buffalo Braves have won just one playoff series since 1976. And sure, the Clippers are still owned by Donald Sterling, the much-criticized real estate magnate who sometimes heckles his own players from his center-court seat. But the Clippers have been gathering momentum since Olshey replaced Mike Dunleavy in March 2010, patiently stockpiling good players around 2009 top pick Griffin while making runs at free agents such as LeBron James, who gave them a courtesy meeting last summer before heading to Miami. When Paul made it clear he wouldn’t sign a contract extension with the Hornets and was interested in playing in Los Angeles, the Clippers watched while the Lakers’ three-team trade for Paul was blocked by the NBA last week and then they pounced, offering a deal that not even Commissioner David Stern could reject. “It was a pivotal moment for us,” Olshey said. “It took a long time to accumulate the assets for a deal like this.” The 26-year-old Paul is in his basketball prime after averaging 18.7 points and 9.8 assists in his sixth season in New Orleans, which he capped by almost singlehandedly throwing a scare into the two-time defending NBA champion Lakers in the first round of the playoffs. Paul will earn $16.4 million this year, and he’s expected to exercise his player option for the 201213 season, making $17.8 million. The Clippers are counting on it, hoping two seasons with Griffin will entice both players to form a long-term partnership. For Paul, Wednesday night’s trade means no more lame-duck practices or ducking questions in New Orleans. He’s headed from the Bayou backwater to the bright lights of North America’s second-largest market, teaming up with a forward whose finishing skills are a playmaker’s dream. The deal required Stern’s approval because the Hornets are owned by the league just one of the many reasons Paul wanted out. Paul nearly ended up in a different locker room at Staples Center. The Lakers had a deal in place to give up Lamar Odom and Pau Gasol for Paul, only to have Stern nix the trade in a widely criticized decision that gave another black eye to the NBA just as it emerged from a protracted, damaging lockout. Stern told New Orleans general manager Dell Demps to scrap the Lakers deal because he thought the Hornets could get younger, better players and more enticing assets. Demps claimed he and Stern were acting “hand in hand,” even though Demps agreed to the deal with Lakers general manager Mitch Kupchak, who voiced the 16-time champions’ fury to the league. “I knew we were doing the best thing for New Orleans, and that was my job,” Stern said. “You have to stick with what you think was right. I must confess it wasn’t a lot of fun, but I don’t get paid to have fun, even though I generally do.” At least the Hornets know who coach Monty Williams will have available when the season opens. Gordon, who turns 23 on Christmas, averaged 22.3 points last season with a smooth jumper and scoring instincts honed by a stint with the U.S. national team. Aminu is a second-year pro who averaged 5.6 points and 3.3 rebounds as a rookie, making only a negligible impact, while the 7-foot Kaman is an eight-year veteran who averaged 12.4 points and seven rebounds last season and has a valuable expiring contract that will pay him $12.2 million this season. “With this trade, we now have three additional players who were among the top eight draft picks in their respective drafts as well as our own first-round pick and (another) firstround pick,” Demps said. “Aminu is a young talent with a bright future, Gordon is a big-time scorer and one of the best (shooting) guards in the league and Kaman is a proven center and former All-Star.” New Orleans also sent two 2015 second-round draft picks to the Clippers. Paul showed up for Hornets training camp last Friday, but has not spoken to reporters since. He was excused from a normally mandatory media event Wednesday, hours before the trade went through, in which players pose for photos in uniform and talk about the upcoming season. He should have plenty to say when the Clippers introduce him to Los Angeles. “We wanted to make sure that we got the best possible deal for a player of Chris’ caliber, and we feel great about the outcome,” said Jac Sperling, whom Stern appointed as the Hornets’ governor after the league bought the team in December 2010.
