Township trustees met last night during an organi- zational meeting and at press time it was unkno\\ n whether any decisions affecting the grant to build a substation of the Pomeroy Fire Department in Bedford Township were made. Last week. at their end-of-the year meeting, trustees John Dean, and outgoing trustees Robert Hawk and Ronald Wood. voted to place Linda Eastman, John Dean, Kim Romine and TR Cullums on the joint-committe that is to also consist of representatives from Pomeroy to discuss the fjre station. However, trustees also voted to resdnd a motion made at the Sept. 26, 2009 special meeting because. according to the meeting minutes. trustees "cannot spend the township's money for utilities on a building (the proposed fire house) that belongs to the Village of Pomeroy.'' The vote was unanimous. There has been discussion about placing a levy on the ballot allowing voters to vote on whether or not to pay for utilities at the fire station if it were built. Wood also made a motion that township property on which the town hall, gravel and garage stands. be preserved for that purpose only and not allow the building of a firehouse on this townshjp property. The vote was unanimous. Also, trustees voted to approve a fire contract for 2010 with the Scipio Township Fire Department as their primary responder. Scipio. which has two stations in Harrisonville and Pageville, will charge $500 per fire call. The motion trustees unanimously approved also states if Scipio is called to a vehicle accident. the station will not charge the township for this unless the person involved doesn't have insurance. Last year. Bedford had a fire contract with the Pomeroy Fire Department for a flat fee of $150 per run that Pomeroy made into their township. according to Chief Rick Blaettnar when he spoke at a trustee meeting back in November. The information for this story is based on the unofficial minutes of the year-end meeting and had not yet been finalized at last night's meeting. Therefore. they are subject to change.

F.Al.VII LY -:~~~::;: HEARTLAND PUBLICATIONS ::::.]'~ "Publishing for the Heart" Reach the Lost & Hurting Families CONTACT launches community stalking awareness campaign S ENTINEL S TAFF MDSNEWS@MYDAILYSENTINEL.COM POINT PLEASANT, W.Va.- January is National Stalking Awareness Month, which is a time to focus on a crime that affects 3.4 million victims a year. This year's ·theme is '"Stalking: Know it. Name it. Stop it," which challenges the nation to fight this dangerous crime by l~aming more about it. Stalking is a crime in all 50 states and the District of Columbia, yet many victims ~nd criminal justice profesionals underestimate its setiousness and impact. In one of five cases, stalkers use weapons to harm or threaten victims, and stalking is one of the significant risk factors for femicide (homicide of women) in abusive relationships. Victims suffer anxiety, social dysfunction and severe depression at much higher rates than the general population, and many lose time from work or have to move as a result of their victimization. Stalking is difficult to recognize, investigate and prosecute. Unlike other crimes, stalking is not a single, easily identifiable crime but a series of acts, a course of conduct directed at a specific person that would cause the person fear. Stalking may take many forms, such as assaults. threats, vandalism, burglary or animal abuse, as well as unwanted cards, calls, gifts or visits. One in four victims reports that the stalker uses technology, such as computers, global positioning devices or hidden cameras, to track the victim's daily activities. Stalkers fit no standard psychological profile, and many stalkers follow their victims from one jurisdiction to another, making it difficult for authorities to investigate and prosecute their crimes. Communities that understand stalking, however, can support victims and combat the crime. "If more people learn to recognize stalking, we have a better chance to protect victims and prevent tragedies," Melissa Kimmel, director of Serenity House, said. CONTACT Rape Crisis Center has set up a display table in the Mason County Courthouse to promote awareness and public education about stalking during the annual observance.

The First Amet1dment to the U.S. Constitution TODAY IN HISTOI~Y Today is Wednesday, Jan. 6, the sixth day of 2010. There are 359 days left in the year. Today's Highlight in History: On Jan. 6, 1838, Samuel Morse and Alfred Vail gave the first successful public demonstration of their telegraph, in Morristown, N.J. On this date: In 1540, England's King Henry VIII married his fourth wife, Anne of Cleves. (The marriage lasted about six months.) In 1759, George Washmgton and Martha Dandridge Custis were married in New Kent County, Va. In 1912, New Mex1co became the 47th state. In 1919, the 26th president of the United States, Theodore Roosevelt, died in Oyster Bay, N.Y.. at age 60. In 1941, Pres1dent Franklin D. Roosevelt, in his State of the Umon address, outlined a goal of "Four Freedoms'': Freedom of speech and expression; the freedom of people to worship God in their own way; freedom from want; freedom from fear. In 1942, the Pan American Airways Pacific Clipper arrived in New York more than a month after leaving California and following a westward route. In 1945, George Herbert Walker Bush married Barbara Pierce in Rye, N.Y. In 1950, Britam recognized the Communist government of China. In 1967, U.S. Marines and South Vietnamese troops launched Operation Deckhouse Five, an offensive in the Mekong River delta. In 1982, truck driver William G. Bonin was convicted in Los Angeles of 10 of the "Freeway Killer"' slayings of young men and boys. (Bonin was later convicted of four other killings; he was executed in 1996.) Ten years ago: In Miami, demonstrators angered by the U.S. government's decision to send Ehan Gonzalez back to Cuba skirmished with police. Republican presidential candidates debated m Durham, N.H. with such issues as taxes and gays m the military dominating the discussion. F1ve years ago: Attorney General-nominee Alberto Gonzales, under scorching cnticism at his confirmation hearing, condemned torture as an interrogation tactic and promised to prosecute abusers of terror suspects. Congress certif1ed President George W. Bush's re-election. Former Ku Klux Klan leader Edgar Ray Killen was arrested 41 ~f;ars after three civil rights workers were slain in Mississippi. (Killen was later convicted of manslaughter and sentenced to 60 years in prison.) Andrea Yates' murder conviction for drowning her children in the bathtub was overturned by a Texas appeals court. (Yates was found not guilty by reason of insan1ty in a retrial.) One year ago: Congress opened for business at the dawn of a new Democratic era with vows to fix the crisisridden economy; Republicans pledged cooperation 1n Congress as well as with President-elect Barack Obama -to a point. Obama vowed to 'bring a long-overdue sense of responsibility and accountability to Washington~ and called the need for budget reform "an absolute necess1ty." Thought for Today: "Very few men are wise by their own counsel; or learned by their own teaching. For he that was only taught by himself, had a fool to his master.'' - Ben Jonson, English dramatist and poet (1572-1637). LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Letters to lhe ed1tor should be hm1ted to 300 words.

S.C. (AP) - Subfreezing temperatures across the South have Florida farmers worried that strawberry, tomato and other crops could be destroyed. with temperatures in even usually balmy Miami only in the 50s on Tuesday. Florida Gov. Charlie Crist signed an executive order that gives the state's Division of Emergency Management and other agencies the authority to provide growers with assistance. Throughout central and south Florida. farmers are trying to salvage millions of dollars worth of citrus and vegetable crops, spraymg them in protective layers of 1ce and covering them in plastic. "The problem now is that we have a weeklong freeze predicted,'' said Ted Campbell, executive director for the Florida Strawberry Growers Association. "It's an endurance test." Forecasters say the Southern deep freeze will last through the weekend, likel) breaking records for continuous cold temperatures in many parts of Florida and elsewhere. The eastern U.S. was not only dealing with subfreezing temperatures, but parts of New England were under In record snowfall. Burlington, a storm dumped more than 33 inches, breaking a single-storm record of nearly 30 inches set in 1969. In northeast Ohio, forecasters say snow will continue to fall in areas that already have 2 feet or more on the ground. The National Weather Service said areas in the region's "snow belt" could receive up to 8 more inches of lake-effect snow on Tuesday. Four deaths were blamed on the cold in Tennessee The duration of the cold snap is unusual, especially in the South, where the weather is typically chilly for just a day or two before temperatures rebound into the 50s.

Many Southern homes aren't butlt to handle that type of cold, with uninsulated pipes and heat pumps that will have to run all the time just to keep things barely comfortable. In Miami, the game-time temperature for the Orange Bowl between Georgia Tech and Iowa was 49 degrees, which FOX-TV announcers said was a record for the annual college football game that started in 1935. Miami Meteorologist Dan Dixon said Miam1. Ft. Lauderdale and West Palm Beach were expected to approach or set record-low overnight temperatures Wednesday morning. Vacationing college students from Ohio, Tara McCourry and Stephen McFarren, walked hand-inhand along picturesque Pensacola Beach Tuesday, one of the few people braving the 27-degree wind chill. The couple watched pelicans, admired seashells and adjusted their hats and gloves as they buffered themselves against the wind. 'This is my first time in Florida and Florida is not supposed to be cold like this," McCourry said. Charleston. S.C., was expecting subfreezing overnight lows all week. Parts of West Virginia could see 4 to 8 inches of snow by Wednesday morning. A dusting of snow fell in westem and central Kentucky overnight, heralding 3 to 5 inches expected in those areas, with some locally heavier amounts.

AmeriCorps from Page At Meigs SWCD by designing new, lastmg projects to ensure stewardship of the watershed such as sustainable workshops. community gardens, recycling programs, after-school programs and raising funds to carry out the various projects. As a way of getting residents interested, Sanders met in the fall with a group where a discussion was held on how to encourage others to become involved. Discussed was the possibility of reaching out to people who lived in the watershed area and getting them to write stories about their experiences and then have the stories published. Sanders, who grew up in Cincinnati and for the past five years has lived in Athens, spent two summers working at the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency facility in Cincinnati while in college. When she completes her AmeriCorps volunteer work here later this year she plans to remain in OU to earn her masters degree in environmental studies. Her dream is for a career with National Geographic or some government agency, or maybe establishing a cartography business or environment retreat in southeastern Ohio. " Here is where I feel most at home,'' she concluded. IIEAP from Page Al higher income last year, and therefore didn't qualify. but this year have been affected by the downturn in the economy. Edwards stressed many working people qualify for this assitance with eligiblity rates raised to the 200 percent level of poverty, opening the door of availablity for many. The following income levels by household size should be used to determine eligibility. These income guidelines represent the 200 percent calculation and are revised annually. Allowable annual income for a one person household is $21,660, two persons $29,140. three persons $36,620, four persons $44,100, five persons $51 ,580. and six persons $59,060. Households with more than six members should add an additional $7,480 to the yearly income. Appointments to receive assistance are required and Edwards said the GMCAA is taking calls for appoint- ments bi-weekly and booking two weeks in advance. Appointments will be taken up until March 10. ''However, an appointment may not extend a scheduled utility shut-off," Edwards said. Emergency HEAP provides assistance to households that have had utilities disconnected, face the threat of disconnection or have 10 days or less supply of bulk fuel . The program allows a one-time payment of up to $175 per heating season to restore or retain home heating services for AEP or Columbia Gas and up to $250 for BREC and Knox Energy. For propane and fuel oil clients. the payment may be up to $600 (200 gallons) for propane/bottled gas or fuel oil. Clients heating with wood or coal will be assisted up to $350. Homeowners or renters may qualif)'. The Regular HEAP program offers heating assis- tance once per heating season to low income households while defraying the high cost of home heating.

Premiums are key issue for health care negotiators WASHINGTON (AP) Congress10nal Democrats and President Barack Obama began work in earnest Tuesday on difficult issues still standing in the way of their national health care overhaul after months of tortuous debate. Topping the list: How to help Americans pay for insur~nce premiums. At a White House meeting that stretched into Tuesday evening, the president and Democratic congressional leaders agreed on fast-track negotiations that would bypass the need for a formal conference to resolve differences between the House and Senate health care bills. Obama "also stated his intention to work with leaders to strengthen affordability ... beyond what is in the Senate bill," said a House leadership aide. who spoke on condition of anonymity because the meeting was private.

The House would provide much greater financial help for households making as much as three times the federal poverty level, $32,490 for an individual, $66.150 for a family of four. according to a side-by-side analysis prepared by House Democratic staffers. The Senate bill would provide greater assistance for households one rung up the income ladder. making between three and four times the federal poverty level, or up to $43.320 for an individual and $88,200 for a famil> of four. The differences can add up. For example, under the House bill, a family of four making $44,100 would pay no more than $2,425 a year to buy coverage in the new insurance markets. Under the Senate bill, premiums would be higher, $2,778. The gap between the two bills involves greater outof-pocket costs. including deductibles and copayments. For the same family. the House bill would cap out-of-pocket expenses at $4,000 a year. Under the Senate bill. it could be far more, $6,150.

It makes you honored to be in that situation." Alabama carne into this season with championship napes, but fans were concerned a new quarterback would keep the talented Tide from winning its first national title since 1992. · McElroy's teammates and coaches weren't worried. They knew that while every backup says they prepare like a starter, their new quarterback actually did. ''When he was the understudy, he truly studied," offensive coordinator Jim McElwain said. "He used that time to prepare hirn- sdf." McElroy started the year strong but hit a rough patch around m.idseason where he went three games without throwing a touchdown pass. "I think in Greg's case what happened was more of an offensive unit problem and he ended up forcing things a little too much instead of letting the game kind of come to him and play to his strengths," McElwain said. McElroy righted himself, re-embraced his role in Alabama's run-first offense, and finished the season with his best two games. Against Auburn and in the Southeastern Conference title game against Florida, he passed for 457 yards and three touchdowns and did not throw an interception. ''I'm going to be more successful being more of a game-manager as opposed to a game-breaker," he said. 9 =:<< www.mydailysentinel.com Without the fanfare and flash of some of the previous great quarterbacks to wear No. 12 at Alabama. Joe Namath and Kenny Stabler among them. McElroy has a chance to go dow11 in Tide history by guiding the program to another national title. What McCoy had to manage thb season was hype, and the pressure that comes with being one of the biggest football stars in Texas' glorious history. "It is tough. it wears on you if you let it:· he said. But it wasn't so much the expectations of Longhorns fans, which could not have been much higher with their team entering the season No.2 in the nation. that wore on McCov. No, what the small-town kid from West Texas battled this season was the pressure of trying to live up to his own lofty standards. In 2008, McCoy completed an NCAA-record 77 percent of his passes and was the Heisman Trophy runner-up. "In his mind he said Til come back and improve on that figure that no one has ever touched,"' Texas offensive coordinator Greg Davis said. "I think he would tell you what was wrong until about midseason was he wasn't having as much fun." Once McCoy loosened up, he and the Texas offense started rolling. He ended up completing 70 percent of his passes this season, for 3 ,512 yards and 27 touchdowns. He was a Heisman finalist again. though this time he finished third in the voting. As great as he has been, McCoy has fallen short of reaching the superstar status of Tebow, despite similar qualities on and off the field. "He is everything good about college football,'' Davis said about McCoy. "Two mission trips. He doesn't drink carbonated water. He comes to the house and we have to buy extra milk.'' With a national championship on his resume, there will be no questioning McCoy's legacy as one of college football's greatest quarterbacks. Corum from PageBl The presence of Leftridge and Alford at WVU helped to pave the way for a second wave of black players that included current Associate Athletic Director for Student Services Garrett Ford, and John Mallory, a member of the WVU Sports Hall of Fame. "Gene helped change the culture at the university to bring in black athletes." Mallory said. ''That is a monumental legacy. It was a big challenge on his pa11. He did it." Ford and Mallory played football at WVU from 1965-'67 and roomed together. Mallory was a defensive back from Summit, N.J.. while Ford came to WVU from Washington. D.C .. and left with 2,166 rushing yards, as the Mountaineers· 12th leading rusher of all time. Mallory and some of the white players who played at the same time lauded the way Corum integrated the team seamlessly. "He did it so professionally. and in his gentlemanly manner. that it didn't draw attention to Roger or Dick or the team," said Athletic Director Ed Pastilong, who played quarterback from 1963-'65. "As a player, it had gone unnoticed to us. We did not realize the importance of it at the time. "But that's something that was quite an accomplishment for coach." Jim Sypult, a Fairmont native who lettered under Corum from 1964-'66, also championed the understated way that the coach introduced black players to the team. "Quite frankly, I'd come from a white culture, and even jn Fairmont (at East Fairmont High School) we only had one AfricanAmerican in the school." said Sypolt, now the head football coach at Methodist University in North Carolina. "When 1 was at WVU, it never came up. They were just teammates.'' Mallory understands the risks Corum took in getting players such as himself and Ford to WVU, though. "There were certain risks to that," Mallory said. "With athletics comes more socialization. friendships born in the fire. things like that. All the things people didn't like. He made up his mind to recruit black athletes. It took courage to do that." Mallory said Corum kept a paternal eye out for his black athletes. but he never played favorites with anyone. "I wish Roger and Dick were around to tell (stori. about that, but with Garr and L I think (Corum) might have shielded us from some things. but we never talked about that. About race or anything." Mallory said. 'The only thing we ever talked about was football.'' Corum was married to his wife, Lucille Virginia, for 62 years. WEDNESDAY TELEVISION GUIDE 3 4 l'l'ID News t'Ifi!)

Shanahan's decision to join the team was confirmed to The Associated Press by an official within the NFL. The official spoke on condition of anonymity because the team was not commenting on its eoaching search. The Redskins announced they would hold a news conference Wednesday, although they did not say why. The deal with Shanahan is for five years. the Denver Post reported on its Web site. The hire comes less than 48 hours after the Redskins fired Jim Zorn - and less than three weeks after front-office Johnson fromPageBl learning years," he said. "The last five years of my career, there's been a lot there to sift through, a lot of ups and downs, some great moments in my career and some moments that got my head scratching." Johnson came out of a game July 5 against Houston with an injury, the first serious shoulder probfem of his career. He felt something in his arm on a swing during that start but initially tried to pitch through it. He then left the game after committing a throwing error in the fourth inning. He was on the disabled list from July 6 to Sept. 16, marking the lOth DL stint of Johnson's career. tie had four knee operations and three back surgeries, but worked his way back each time. Johnson signed with the Giants to try to help them reach the playoffs, but they missed the postseason for a sixth straight year. San Francisco stayed in the NL wild-card chase well into September. Pitching in San Francisco, Johnson was only about 40 miles west of where he chief Vinny Cerrato resigned and quickly was replaced by general manager Bruce Allen. AU of which means that, within a month, the Red skins have gone from an organization that revolved primarily around owner Dan Snyder and yes-man Cerrato to one that includes two powerful decision-makers who are sure to yield much clout. Allen - son of Hall of Farner and fmmer Redskins coach George Allen became the first person to hold the title of GM in Snyder's decade-plus of ownership. while Shanahan is known to demand a heavy say-so in personnel decisions.

The players, meanwhile, BCS The Redskins are 82-99 since Snyder bought the team, missing the playoffs in eight of 11 seasons, and the toll of below- .500 seasons and accompanying fan unrest left him little choice but to hire established names and put them in charge.

Shanahan won two Super Bowls in 14 seasons with the Denver Broncos, but was fired a year ago after they missed the playoffs for the third straight season. get free tultlon and some money for living expenses. That's it, even though the fans pay to see them. "All I ask is, throw us a little more money," says All-American defensive end Derrick Morgan of Georgia Tech, whose coach, Paul Johnson, makes $2.3 million a year. "We're the ones out there grinding. But that's beating a dead horse." Some, like Morgan, are good bets to go on to successful and lucrative NFL careers. But only about 1.8 percent of college players get there. Announcing big raises for coaches in this economic environment can be delicate. Last summer, after Meyer led Florida to its second national title in three years. the Gators gave him a new contract worth $4 million a year and made him - at the time - the highest-paid coach in the Southeastern Conference. The school had recently announced $42 million in budget cuts and layoffs of nine faculty members and 49 staff employees. But as was the case at Texas, Florida could say its athletic department paid for itself. And Meyer, 45, was an in-demand coach the Gators felt they needed to lock up. Brown, on the other hand, turns 59 this year. His successor, defensive coordinator Will Muschamp, has already been named. Critics insist Brown isn't going anywhere, and the fact that they already have his successor under contract punches holes in the theory that Texas is merely paying the market price. "If he does go anywhere, he'd be silly," said Tom Palaima, UT's representative on the Coalition on Intercollegiate Athletics. "So the question is, why does one have to crank up his salary by $2 million except for ego purposes? We could have avoided this whole thing." AP photo This is a Jan. 3 file photo showing Houston Texans' Brian Cushing (56) pressuring New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady, right, during the second quarter of an NFL football game in Houston. Cushing has become the second Houston Texans linebacker in four seasons to win The Associated Press NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year award on Tuesday. Houston LB Cushing is AP top defensive rookie NEW YORK (AP) From the first practice in training camp until the last game, Brian Cushing was a tackling machine for the Houston Texans. That's exactly what the team sought when it chose the linebacker from Southern Cal 15th overall in the draft last April. What the Texans also got is The Associated Press 2009 NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year. Cushing was a runaway winner in balloting by a nationwide panel of 50 sports writers and broadcasters who cover the league. Cushing received 39 votes Tuesday, easily beating Buffalo safety Jairus Byrd, who had six, and became the second Texans linebacker in four seasons to win the award. DeMeco Ryans took it in 2006. "I'm just a much smarter football player," Cushing said. ''I'm much more advanced than I was this time last year and it was just a good way to start out a career. I'm happy about how everything turned out this year. Of course the playoffs would have been nice, but now we know what we have to do for next season." This season, Cushing had 133 tackles, 86 of them pri- mary. according to the Texans, who went 9-7, their first winning record. Cushing's best game might have been his nine solo tackles, one sack and an interce~tion in a victory over Mtami on Dec. 27. Or maybe it was his nine tackles, interception and two forced fumbles in a win over Cincinnati on Oct. 18. Overall, he had five sacks, four interceptions and the two forced fumbles. numbers that normally belong to a seasoned veteran. Which is exactly how the 22-year-old Cushing played. "He brought another element to our football team: his love for the game. his passion, his play, playing beat up, all these things," coach Gary Kubiak said. "He played like a I 0-year vet from the day he stepped on the field. Our players respect what he does with the game and how he goes about his business. We're very fortunate to have him and we're going to have him here for a long. long time. What a year. He was exceptional." Nobody can understand or appreciate what Cushing accomplished better than Ryans. who made a similar impact in '06. "Brian is a special play- er," Ryans said ...1 saw: when he first stepped on the field that he could be a special player for us. Just to watch him grow week •. and week out, I'm just proud of him. He's like m little brother out there. I'm always out there talking to him about how we can be great as a unit. I say it to him every week. 'Let's go out and be great and be the best linebackers in the league' and that's our motto and that's our goal.'' They're closing in on it. Green Bay linebacker Clay Matthews, who also went to Southern Cal and was a first-round draft pick, earned three votes Washington linebacker Brian Orakpo got the other two. ''I'm really proud of that." Cushing said of the lopsided balloting. "The other guys without question had great rookie seasons as well. ~ith Clay Matthews and Brian Orakpo and Jairus Byrd. It's tough that you can only give it to o rookie. I think that it w great rookie class .... Just win it and to wm like that was a huge honor." Cushing i~ the seventh straight linebacker voted top defensive rookie and the ninth in 10 years. Last year's winner was New England's Jerod Mayo.
