She said the Meigs Local Board of Education gave the ball fields in Middleport and Rutland back to those villages and Pomeroy should be given the same consideration. “Taxpayers paid for the fields, and I think that they would want them to be considered to go back to the village,” said McAngus in her prepared statement. The mayor was accompanied to the meeting by Dan Morris, a Pomeroy resident. The Board had some informal discussion about the matter but no decision was made at the meeting pending determination as to the status and prior commitments if any have been made by previous administrations. Board President Ron Logan mentioned that it would be premature to decide anything right now anyway since the new football field isn’t completed. Meeting with the Board were several parents to discuss student treatment by a member of the high school coaching staff. After the parents spoke, the Board deferred the matter for further discussion in an executive session since it involved school personnel. The annual tax budget for the 2012-13 fiscal year was presented at the meet- ing prior to being filed with the Meigs County Budget Commission. Mark Rhonemus, treasurer/CFO, reviewed the figures with the Board members which showed anticipated revenue from July through Dec. 31, 2012 at $89,529,657, and from Jan. 1 through June 30 of $9,259,547. Chrissy Musser, food service supervisor, reported on the presentation of participation in the school’s lunch and breakfast programs at free, reduced and paid rates. Her figures showed an increase in student participation over last year in all three schools in the breakfast program, while there was little change in the lunch participation. Approval was given to the excess costs contract with the Athens-Meigs Educational Service Center to provide services related to special and gifted education for the current school year in the estimated amount of $549,583. Also approved was the annual membership with the Ohio School Board Association in the amount of $6,099, to renew the annual briefcase/ school management news subscription in the amount of $310; and to renew the legal assistance fund consultant service contract in the amount of $250, all for the period of Jan. 1 through Dec. 31. The resignations for retirement purposes of Charles Williamson, bus driver, effective March 1, and Julia Vaughan, teacher, effective June 1, were accepted.

Standard authorizations ODOT to accept Safe Routes to School proposals Staff report mdtnews@mydailytribune.com COLUMBUS — The Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT) is currently accepting applications for Safe Routes to School (SRTS) projects across Ohio. The program provides federal funding for projects that will make it safer and more appealing for children in kindergarten through eighth grade to walk or ride their bikes to school. “The goal of Safe Routes to School is to combine health and fitness with safety,” said ODOT Director Jerry Wray. “It’s an opportunity to work closely with schools and communities to create a healthy lifestyle for our children.” The program has funded approximately $31 million in 400 projects since it began in 2004. Projects have included education, planning, sidewalks, pedestrian and bike paths, crosswalks, traffic calming and bike racks. SRTS is federally funded through the Federal Highway Administration, which means state and local applicants are not required to match funds. A minimum of 10 percent and a maximum of 30 percent of Ohio’s allocation must be used for education, enforcement and encouragement.

Superintendent Rusty Bookman was as named the designee as an agent of the Board of Education to apply for, receive, expend and account for all state and federal grant funds. Tucker was appointed to serve on the Ohio School Boards legislative liaison for the year. Routes From Page 1 rolled out its “Every Move You Make, Keep It Safe” educational campaign. The campaign’s purpose is to educate Ohio’s 1.2 million, their families, teachers, and school officials about appropriate safety practices for walking and bicycling to school. Ohio’s First Lady, Karen Waldbillig Kasich, who serves as ambassador for Ohio’s SRTS program, and the “All-Ohio Safe Routes to School Show Choir” produced a music video titled “Be Safe Out the Door” to promote the benefits of walking and biking to school. The video can be viewed at: www.dot.state. oh.us/saferoutes “I believe that active kids are healthy kids,” said Waldbillig Kasich. “Biking and walking are activities that children can do that not only provides them health and fitness benefits but it has also been shown that physical activity before and after school improves their academic performance.” Likely applicants will be state, local and regional agencies including nonprofit organizations. �Friday, January 13, 2012 The Daily Sentinel • Page 4 www.mydailysentinel.com Is Pomeroy enveloped God’s wisdom challenges us in spiritual darkness? how to work our Christianity I’ve now been a resident of Pomeroy for slightly more than three years, and I’ve seen and heard a number of things since moving here, some of which have been more memorable and significant than others. One such comment was made to me by some neighboring Christians early on in my time here, and it has stuck with me ever since. I now share it with you and, as incredulous as it may seem, give this some serious thought. My informant that day related how an evangelist, upon coming into Pomeroy, immediately discerned that this area was enveloped in spiritual darkness. Those of you who are skeptics undoubtedly will find this last statement hard to grasp; it will be an even greater stretch, I know, for you to accept it. That this observation was made in bright daylight may help you understand the gist of what I’m saying, because the darkness had absolutely nothing to do with any weather-related storm front. Instead, the darkness was altogether spiritual, and three years later let us who are alive in the Lord note that this darkness has not diminished. It is very much present — blatantly evident in some places, not so much in others — but still the darkness persists. The reason for this is really quite simple: Jesus nailed it when he said, “the light has come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil” (Jn. 3:19). Let’s be 100 percent honest with each other: there is NO grey area between good and evil, least of all in the Lord’s eyes! Any such “shading” and discrepancies are the work of sinful people; so far as Thomas Johnson Pastor God is concerned, white is white and black is black. Get the picture?!? In this same passage of Scripture from John, Jesus went on to say those who do evil avoid the light of God lest their deeds and they themselves be seen for what and who they are (3:20). However much darkness still exists in our area, there are two reasons for it: first, there is yet much evil in these parts and, likewise, there are many involved in the commission of this evil. Case in point: every day as I walk from my home to the Church, I spy at least one more beer bottle, or can, that wasn’t there the previous day. Sometimes I even find a discarded needle lying in the street, no doubt put there by someone too inconsiderate to dispose of it in the proper manner. That said, some silly twit is likely to defend those who abuse drugs and/or trash Pomeroy; whatever else this area is short of, it isn’t slobs or twits! What evidently IS lacking is a strong Christian community, one bound together and empowered by the Holy Spirit of God to stand up for Jesus publicly and vocally, the idea being that we chal- lenge and contest the status quo when it’s obviously not copacetic. In other words, my brothers and sisters, we’ve been called to work with our Lord as his teammates in the doing of God’s will. We are to shine in the world as the light of God, but we fail Him entirely when we tuck our light away, hunker down where we feel safe, and otherwise avoid getting involved. Whereas Shakespeare wrote that something was rotten in Denmark, let those of us in this area—Christians, in particular!—pay close attention to what’s going on around us, and definitely not assume everything is altogether “ducky” here. Aside from the blatantly obvious indiscretions and wrong-doings of those who behave badly in a public way, to which the trash in the streets is ample testimony, have you ever considered what goes on behind closed doors?!? Don’t get me wrong: I’m not talking about what people do in their own homes. I’m concerned that when Christians get together, or are involved in any secular endeavor, that they NOT betray their faith, thus sellout Jesus, and compromise their own integrity. What the world does not need is more “nominal Christians,” those who are Christians when it’s convenient, but otherwise act like everybody else when it is not. More than ever, the Kingdom needs people with a consuming passion for Jesus Christ. Are you one?!? The Church of Laodicea incurred the Lord’s contempt for their complacency, for wanting to “go along to get along” (Rev. 3:14-22). Where others are concerned, let Jesus be your guide. A Hunger for More Do you ever feel like your voice can’t be heard? If you’re a parent then it is a foregone conclusion: you DO feel that way at times. “Can’t we turn the video game volume down a little bit?”; “What’s that? You can’t hear me over your brother?”; and “Didn’t you hear me say that you need to clean up your room?”. And maybe it’s not just with children that you feel that no one listens to you. You may feel that at work your stand for what’s right is laughed at or ignored by others. You may even feel that voting is pointless and that your vote cannot make a difference. If that isn’t enough to depress you then just remember that this is an election year. Not being heard when you have something to say is terribly frustrating, particularly when what you have to say is a matter of life and death. As Christians, our lives revolve around a message that truly is a matter of life and death. As carefully and as determinedly as we might try to share that message, there is no denying that there are multitudes of voices and messages trying to compete for the same ears. In fact, you may be frequently confronted by this when you share about God’s love with others. Perhaps you invite someone to church and he says, “Well, I’d like to be in church but I’ve got yard work on this day, meetings on that day, ballgames on this night, my favorite show is on the other, and don’t forget my unused vacation days. Sorry: no time left. Sundays? Thom Mollohan Pastor But that’s the only day I can sleep in.” And if you, merely a messenger, feel frustrated about a culture that won’t slow down and carefully listen to the message of Eternal Life, what does the One Who sent the message in the first place feel? In Isaiah 48, the Lord laments over His people who have gotten so far away from Him and His loving commandments that they only know heartache, disappointment and loss. “If only you had paid attention to My commands, your peace would have been like a river, your righteousness like the waves of the sea” (Isaiah 48:18). God yearns for us to heed Him and knows that for us to possess the peace that He has promised we must listen and obey His voice. “Listen to Me,… I am He; I am the First, and I am the Last. My hand laid the foundation of the earth, and My right hand spread out the heavens; when I summon them, they stand at attention…. Thus says the LORD, Your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel: I am the LORD your God, Who teaches you for your own good, Who leads you in the way you should go” (Isaiah 48:12-13,17). Think of it! Even the heavens stand at attention at the summons of the King of Kings. How much more then, as God summons us from among a people too busy to walk with Him and too busy to serve, will those who hear Him calling, jump to attention and respond to His invitation of grace? As He calls you to come out from under the power of sin, death and despair, will you have ears to hear and receive His invitation to join Him? “In a time of favor I have answered you, on a day of salvation I have helped you; I have kept you and give you as a covenant to the people, to establish the land, to apportion the desolate heritages; saying to the prisoners, ‘Come out,’ to those who are in darkness, ‘Show yourselves.’ They shall feed along the ways, on all the bare heights shall be their pasture; they shall not hunger or thirst, neither scorching wind nor sun shall strike them down, for He Who has pity on them will lead them, and by springs of water will guide them” (Isaiah 49:810).

Visit us at www.mydailysentinel.com Before Dad moved our family to West Virginia, we lived in Salisbury, N.C., on East Henderson Street. I was six years-old when my Dad brought home a rusty but reliable bicycle for me — my first. The best place for me to ride it was the street on the next block behind our house, Lafayette Street. Going the easiest way to Lafayette Street meant riding through our backyard beneath the huge pecan tree, and down a narrow three-foot garden path beside of Mr. Webb’s dilapidated barn. A left turn at the corner put us onto Mr. Webb’s long driveway, which emptied right onto quiet Lafayette. On my third ride, a stick somehow got kicked up and lodged in the chain at the rearwheel sprocket. It also got wedged in among several of the spokes. I came to a rather quick stop. After a brief examination, I put down the kickstand, and attempted to wrest the stick from the bind. What made the extraction difficult was that the bike kept falling over. Having a bad temper, I was getting angrier with every fall. Mr. Webb was a tall, gaunt man who always wore a well-used widebrimmed derby-style hat. He came out the back door of his house and ambled over towards me. Drawling slowly, he said, “Ronnie, always put the challenge of wisdom into your work.” With that, he took my bike Ron Branch Pastor and turned it over to rest more stably on the seat and handlebars. The wise perspective was well-received. In short order I was pedaling happily on my bike. By contrast, consider that the Psalmist wrote, “So teach us to number our days that we may apply our hearts to wisdom”. To acknowledge the inherent challenge of this statement, we are asking the Lord to put our lives in proper perspective, which we presume to accept, and then we agree to apply our hearts to the Scriptural and spiritual wisdom of God. Because life is so short, the application of Godly wisdom to our lives is most timely. But, if we are going to apply our hearts to the wisdom of God, we need to see such application not so much for our personal benefit only, but as it involves ourselves in the administration of our Christianity directed toward others. While Christianity is person- ally beneficial, there also are responsibilities we have to share Christianity with others. Note the following application of God’s wisdom in the work of Christianity. For example, if being a Christian is so worthwhile and rewarding, the challenge of God’s wisdom should prompt us to share Christ with others as often as the opportunity arises. If today is the day of salvation, the challenge of God’s wisdom should stir us not to wait to share the Gospel of Christ with others until other tomorrows. If the physical and material sufferings of others garner our compassion for them, the challenge of God’s wisdom should open our hearts wider to have a greater compassion for their spiritual needs. If Jesus Christ sacrificed His life for others, the challenge of God’s wisdom should motivate us to have a personal sacrificial attitude in ministering to others. Many other points of such Godly wisdom find application for us as we meditatively consider them. Perhaps today we need to apply more of God’s wisdom in our Christian work, to be more distributive-minded rather than being so selfish-minded. Mr. Webb was also an openly critical man, too. After I fumbled around considerably to turn my bike back over, he told me, “Ronnie, you just don’t have much smarts about you, do you?” Freedom in Limitation Well, as much as I have tried, I just can not get away from this topic, so here goes. Be careful what you pray for could be the title of this installment, but I am praising the Lord too much to do that. I guess it all depends on if you are a glass is half full or half empty kind of person. Over the past few months, I have steadily been feeling worse. My health has not been the best. For awhile I kept trying to push it off because, honestly, I have had to take care of others. I knew there was something wrong, but attributed it to needing to just “eat better and exercise.” One of the things everyone tells you is that whole grains or wheat is very healthy for you. Well, maybe not. Through a very strange journey, I have discovered that I am allergic to wheat, and honestly, I am very excited about it! How could anyone be excited about that? Coming up on the new year, I was in prayer that in the coming year I would be healthy. I was miserable, but did not understand why. My eating was out of control, honestly. My prayer was for all that to change so I could be healthier and happier because of it. I prayed, believing that the Lord would help me. Now I cannot say that the Lord gave me a food allergy. I can say that my entire mental outlook has changed. Food has completely changed for me. We make a lot of what we do in this country about food. We have hundreds of shows devoted to food. We have more advertising about food. It is everywhere. We have so many options, and so little time. We can not seem to get together without making food be a part of it. Food is king in America. Our stomachs rule our lives. Hmmm. That is not biblical whatsoever. First off, one aspect of the fruit of the spirit is self-control. It is a part of what we are supposed to be walking in. Especially as mature be- Carrie Wolfe Pastor lievers, we should be able to have self-control. Remember my prayer? I had a scary experience with the food allergy. Let me tell you that it completely changed my outlook on food. Since then, I have had to read labels and be very careful. When you start looking at things, you realize how much wheat is used in what we eat (and it is A LOT). My menu has been really limited in the past couple of weeks. Overboard indulgence is not an option for me. For some, that may be a tragedy. For me, it is awesome! I have been healthier and happier. I have also been in tune with just how much abundance we really have in America. We eat more in one meal than many people around the world get to eat in a week. We throw away more in a week than many people get to eat in a month. Yet, many of us keep praying for more in our finances, more “abundance”. Really? I take issue with that concept. I take great issue with that. This is America. First off, I am tired of hearing people complain about it. We have freedom here. We also have responsibility. We are a blessed nation. As believers in Jesus Christ, we are blessed. God is huge. He can do what He wants. If He wants to be in our schools, do you really think a bunch of misguided people can stop Him? We are not bigger or greater than God. We also have a really mixed up concept of what a blessing is. Maybe we ought to go with the song and count our many blessings naming them one by one. Blessings do not have to come in the form of massive, expensive cars or homes. Blessings do not have to come in the form of big meals and chocolate indulgence. Blessings come in simple things like being able to wake up in the morning, breathing without pain, having something to eat, being warm in winter, and clothes to wear. We take clothes for granted about as much as we do food. Look, if you have something to choose from, rejoice. Do not mourn and let your countenance fall because you do not have a $60 shirt! Remember, having a “name brand” shirt will not help you whatsoever in eternity. I have a limitation in what I can eat, but I have found freedom in it. I have found a whole new depth to my walk with the Lord. I feel like scales have fallen from my eyes. Our society has taught us that limitation is not good, but it is wrong. Through Christ, we can have freedom in limitation. We can have peace in the storm. We can have satisfaction in less. You see, I do not need to fill my stomach because Christ has filled my spirit in a way I never thought possible. I do not need donuts and decadence. I just need God. Eating is a necessity for existence, but it does not mean it needs to be something that defines who I am. I know who I am in Christ. He offers me freedom even in limitation. You see He is just that awesome! Look at what you have and rejoice. Why should He bless us with more, when we do not appreciate or take care of what He has given us? Think about that and skip that chocolate dessert. Use that money to bless a worthy ministry. Further God’s kingdom in some way. Buy a Bible for someone who doesn’t have one instead. Share the Good News in a loving way. Be excited about God! I am! Even without my morning toast I can still live a life of Grace Out Loud! �The Daily Sentinel Sports FRIDAY, JANUARY 13, 2012 mdssports@heartlandpublications.com Lady Raiders fall to South Point, 72-44 Bryan Walters bwalters@mydailytribune.com BIDWELL, Ohio — The River Valley girls basketball team sank 11 three-pointers Monday night, but made only 13 field goals in a 72-44 setback to visiting South Point in an Ohio Valley Conference matchup in Gallia County. The Lady Raiders (2-9, 0-4 OVC) hit six trifectas in the first quarter alone, which allowed the hosts to storm out to an 18-13 lead after eight minutes of play. The Lady Pointers (8-3, 4-0), however, surrendered just 26 points over the next three periods, which ultimately resulted in River Valley’s seventh straight loss. SPHS went on a 17-11 run in the second canto to take a slim 30-29 edge into the intermission, then followed with runs of 21-11 and 21-4 over the final two frames to wrap up the 28-point decision. South Point led 51-41 headed into the finale. Cady Gilmore led RVHS with 19 points, followed by Beth Misner with 12 points and Shalin Comer with six markers. Alli Neville added five points, while Ramsey Warren rounded out the scoring with two markers. The hosts were 7-of-14 at the free throw line for 50 percent. Allison Mitchell paced South Point with a game-high 21 points, followed by Erin Dillow with 18 points and Brett Justice with 12 markers.

Hoover outlasts Lady Knights, 56-43 Bryan Walters bwalters@mydailytribune.com POINT PLEASANT, W.Va. — The Point Pleasant girls basketball team kept things close for over a half, but a 14-4 third quarter surge ultimately proved to be the difference-maker Wednesday night during a 56-43 setback to visiting Herbert Hoover in a Cardinal Conference matchup in Mason County. The Lady Knights (3-7, 2-5 Cardinal) fell behind 8-1 three minutes into regulation, then lost point guard Andrea Porter to an ankle injury at the 4:39 mark of the first quarter — which greatly hampered the hosts ball-handling options the rest of the evening. But instead of getting down, PPHS retaliated with a 7-3 spurt to pull within 11-8 after eight minutes of play. Point kept that momentum going early into the second canto, as the hosts scored consecutive trifectas to claim their first lead of the night at 14-11 with 6:21 remaining in the half. The Lady Huskies (8-3, 2-3), however, countered with a 13-2 surge over the next 4:14 to match their biggest lead of the first half at eight points (24-16) with 2:07 remaining. The Lady Knights closed the first half with a small 7-6 spurt to cut the halftime deficit down to 30-23. There were three lead changes and two ties in the opening 16 minutes, with each team leading at least once. PPHS scored the opening eight points of the second half, allowing the hosts to take their final lead of the night at 31-30 with 5:19 left in the third stanza. HHHS answered with a 14-4 surge over the rest of the canto, allowing the guests to take 44-35 cushion into the finale. Point Pleasant pulled back to within 44-40 with 6:52 left in the game, but never came closer the rest of the way as the guests ended regulation with a 12-3 spurt to wrap up the 13-point decision. The Lady Huskies’ biggest lead of the night came at 54-40 with 2:32 left in the contest. Sarah Hussell led the See HOOVER ‌| 6 Stephen M.

Steroids Era to consume Hall voters in 2013 NEW YORK (AP) — Still glowing over his election to the Hall of Fame, Barry Larkin was asked about next year’s sure-tobe-controversial vote: the first appearances of Barry Bonds, Roger Clemens and Sammy Sosa on the Cooperstown ballot. “All I know is playing and competing against some of these guys, they’re the best period,” he said. The Steroids Era will be the focal point of next year’s Hall ballot, when 550-plus members of the Baseball Writers’ Association of America try to assess three of the most accomplished players in the sport’s history. For all the home runs and wins, it’s a trio tainted with accusations that their statistics were boosted by performanceenhancing drugs during a period when there were no agreed-upon penalties in baseball for the use of steroids and human growth hormone. “It’s going to be agonizing,” BBWAA general secretary Jack O’Connell said after Tuesday’s news conference, repeating the phrase for emphasis. The BBWAA hasn’t elected three candidates in one year since 1999 and hasn’t voted in four since 1955. Next year’s ballot also includes first-time eligibles Mike Piazza, Curt Schilling and Craig Biggio, along with holdovers Jack Morris, Jeff Bagwell, Lee Smith and Tim Raines. As Hall President Jeff Idelson pointed out, only 207 of the approximately 18,000 players who have appeared in the major leagues have earned induction to Cooperstown. Some voters will keep the doors locked on Steroids Era sluggers and Clemens and even players only rumored to have used PEDs. “I’m not going to vote for any of the people that are linked to steroids.

However, Mountain State (12-5) responded with an 8-0 run after Legg’s bucket to push the lead back to 22 points and cruised the rest of the way. The under-manned RedStorm were hamstrung by foul problems seemingly from the outset of the game. Junior forward Turrell Morris was limited to just 17 minutes of playing time in the contest and fouled out with 10:38 remaining after scoring a season-low four points, while senior guard Darriel Hunter picked up his fifth foul with 8:52 left to play. Mountain State, last year’s national runner-up, attempted 22 free throws in the first half – Rio Grande had 23 for the entire game – and finished with 33 trips to the charity stripe. “I was proud of our guys off the bench because we had to play them a lot of minutes in the first half and we were still only down 11,” French said. “Darriel, (sophomore forward Ethan) Prater, (sophomore guard) Jermaine (Warmack) and (sopho- more center) Makka Garba all gave us good minutes. At the same time, though, that’s why it was so important to try and get them into a grind game in the second half. When they started the second half like they did, we were in trouble.” Rio Grande shot just 32.8 percent overall (22-for-67) and hit just five of its 17 three-point attempts. The RedStorm did snare 21 offensive rebounds against the decidedly taller Cougars, but were outrebounded 42-39 overall. Legg led Rio Grande with 15 points, 13 of which came in the first half, while senior forward Shaun Gunnell and Warmack netted 12 points each. Warmack also had a team-high nine rebounds, six steals and five assists. Williams added 10 assists in the win for the Cougars, while Quinton Thomas and David Nyarsuk finished with 13 and 10 points, respectively, for head coach Bob Bolen’s club. Miller and Bruce Komakech pulled down a team-high six rebounds each, while Nyarsuk added a game-high five blocked shots. Rio Grande returns to action Thursday night, hosting Mid-South Conference foe and defending national champion Pikeville at the Newt Oliver Arena.

(AP) — A plan designed to soothe angry Penn State University alumni may instead be sowing seeds of outrage. School President Rodney Erickson was scheduled to appear Thursday night at a hotel near Philadelphia at the second of three town hall events, and alumni weren’t exactly rolling out the red carpet for him. Former Penn State and pro football star Franco Harris scheduled a competing event at the King of Prussia hotel after broad dissatisfaction with Erickson’s first talk in Pittsburgh on Wednesday. A third event is scheduled for Friday in New York. But even some critics say Erickson shouldn’t be getting all the blame for what many view as a floundering public relations effort. He’s trying to repair the school’s image more than two months after the arrest of former assistant football coach Jerry Sandusky on sexual abuse charges brought controversy, criticism and contemplation to Happy Valley. A 2002 alumnus, Ryan Bagwell, who’s seeking a trustee seat in voting that will start next week, said Erickson “takes his marching orders from the Board of Trustees,” which has “sent him out on this threeday spree.” “We want to hear from the trustees. We want them to explain why they made the decisions they did,” Bagwell said. “Their silence is just incredible. It just keeps getting worse.” The chairman and vice chairman of the Board of Trustees released a statement Thursday evening responding to questions raised at the Pittsburgh meeting, including about the firing of legendary football coach Joe Paterno. Paterno, they said, was removed in November instead of being allowed to retire after the season because of “extraordinary circumstances.” “The details of his retirement are being worked out and will be made public when they are finalized,” said the statement from Chairman Steve Garban and Vice Chairman John Surma. “Generally speaking, the University intends to honor the terms of his employment contract and is treating him financially as if he had retired at the end of the 2011 football season.” In Pittsburgh, the most passionate applause came after one questioner suggested that the entire board of trustees step down. Several others questioned why Penn State is still struggling to manage questions from the public and the media so many weeks after the crisis began. “If you keep doing the same thing over and over again, you shouldn’t expect different results,” said Tim King, vice president of the greater Pittsburgh alumni chapter. The alumni meetings come as investigators reinterview current and former employees of Penn State’s athletic department as part of the case against the 67-year-old Sandusky, the former assistant coach who’s charged with sexually abusing 10 boys over a 15year period. Sandusky, who maintains his innocence, remains out on $250,000 bail while awaiting trial. Two Penn State admin- istrators are facing charges they lied to a grand jury investigating Sandusky and failed to properly report suspected child abuse. Gary Schultz, a former vice president, and Tim Curley, the athletic director, have denied the allegations and await trial. Paterno has described the scandal as one of the great sorrows of his life and has said that in hindsight he wishes he had done more after allegations against Sandusky were raised. Many alumni are unhappy about the way the school fired Paterno, but some said there were no good options in the situation. “I don’t think there was any graceful way to handle that problem,” said John Burness, a former senior vice president of public affairs for Cornell University, Duke University and the TUSCALOOSA, Ala. (AP) — National champion Alabama will once again try to keep rolling after losing three underclassmen to the NFL draft. All-Americans Trent Richardson, Dont’a Hightower and Dre Kirkpatrick said Thursday they’re leaving school to start pro careers, three days after helping the Crimson Tide to its second national title of their careers. “To leave a legacy like me and Dre have left here, to have two national championships in three years, I think that’s pretty big for us and our family and for the University of Alabama,” said Richardson, a Heisman Trophy finalist and Doak Walker Award winner as the nation’s top running back. Richardson and Kirkpatrick, a cornerback, attended a news conference announcing their decisions, while middle linebacker Hightower issued a statement afterward. Richardson and Kirkpatrick are both projected as potential top 10 picks and Hightower is also regarded as a potential first-rounder. Alabama had a schoolrecord four first-round selections last year, including underclassmen Marcell Dareus, Julio Jones and Mark Ingram. The Tide came back and went 12-1, moving to 36-4 over the past three years. Richardson set school single-season rushing records with 1,679 yards and 21 touchdowns in his lone season as a fulltime starter after running behind the 2009 Heisman winner Ingram. He and Hightower were first-team AP All-America selections while Kirkpatrick was a second-teamer. The Tide beat LSU 21-0 in Monday night’s national title game when the nation’s top defense yielded only 92 total yards. Richardson ran for 96 yards and scored the game’s only touchdown in the fourth quarter after topping 100 as a freshman in the first title game against Texas. Richardson said he wanted to be able to take care of his mother who he says has Lupus and still works at a seafood restaurant and two young daughters. “It really took a toll on me to make sure my momma doesn’t have to work anymore or my grandma,” said Richardson, who lost two aunts to cancer in the last year. His grandmother had retired, but returned to driving a school bus. Richardson said he made the decision Wednesday night after sitting down with his uncle and brothers. He went home to Pensacola, Fla., from the national championship game in New Orleans to discuss his future with family. Richardson said he received motivation from a childhood in a tough neighborhood where he lost “quite a few friends” to early deaths, drugs or prison. “This place has changed my life,” Richardson said. “It really turned me from a teenager to a man, and a grown man at that. “I never thought I’d be in college playing football, or I never thought I’d be almost done with my degree. In 2 years, I’m almost done with my college degree. That’s big for me.” Hightower, the team leader with 85 tackles, was eligible for a fifth year of eligibility after missing most of the 2009 national championship season with a knee injury. He wasn’t present at the news conference, and Saban only talked about Richardson and Kirkpatrick. “These two young men have done a fabulous job of representing the University of Alabama, their family, themselves,” Saban said. He praised “their commitment to excellence, not only on the field but the kind of people they’ve been, the kind of leadership they’ve provided. “Both guys have done a really good job academically.” He said both players pledged to complete their degrees and are about 20 credit hours shy. Hightower, a team captain, graduated in December. Kirkpatrick has gotten plenty of personal tutelage from Saban, who works with the defensive backs. “These are the things that we always dreamed of,” he said. “Playing for two national champions is something that’s unheard of. Some of the great teams have managed to do that, and fortunately I was on one of them. “Coach Saban has taught me pretty much everything. I call him my father.” Saban was late to the announcement but with a good excuse a congratulatory phone call from President Obama. “He wanted everybody to know and all of our players to know that he saw the whole game and was very impressed and congratulated us,” he said. “He’s looking forward to us coming to the White House and we’re look- University of Illinois. Harris, who played for Paterno from 1968 to 1971 before helping the Pittsburgh Steelers win four Super Bowls, castigated the Board of Trustees for showing “no courage” by firing the longtime coach. Harris stepped down as chairman of the Pittsburgh Promise, a scholarship foundation, after Mayor Luke Ravenstahl complained about the statements, but he was reinstated in December. Burness also said that people who are seeking quick changes to the Penn State Board of Trustees forget there’s a reason it’s difficult to make such changes. “It isn’t a simple thing to do, and it shouldn’t be a simple thing to do,” he said, since a key goal is for trustees to have a high degree of independence. Bama’s Richardson, Hightower, Kirkpatrick NFL-bound ing forward to going and having that experience again.” Getting back to the title game next season and getting another White House invite will take more reloading, though Saban is expected to add to his string of highly rated recruiting classes. Outland Trophy Awardwinning left tackle Barrett Jones, right tackle D.J. Fluker and safety Robert Lester are returning for their senior seasons. Still, the defections mean Alabama will lose six starters on offense and seven on defense. Two seniors, safety Mark Barron and linebacker Courtney Upshaw, are also considered likely first-round picks from the nation’s top defense. “They’ve got a great group of young guys coming up,” Kirkpatrick said. “They look like they’re ready to be leaders.” Ohio pulls away from Buffalo, 60-52 Utah tops Cavaliers, 113-105 ATHENS, Ohio (AP) — D.J. Cooper scored 15 points and Nick Kellogg added 14 as Ohio pulled away from Buffalo for a 60-52 Mid-American Conference victory Wednesday night. The Bobcats (13-3, 1-1) never trailed, jumping out to a 12-0 lead and taking a 3125 advantage into halftime. The Bulls (8-5, 1-1) got to 33-30 with 15:07 remaining, then Ohio pulled away with an 11-0 spurt, capped by a Cooper three-point play. Neither team shot well, with Buffalo (8-5, 1-1) outshooting the Bobcats from the field 38 percent (19 of 50) to 32.2 percent (19 of 59). Ohio, which came in ranked sixth in the nation in turnover margin, scored 22 points off 23 Bulls turnovers while committing 15 miscues. Mitchell Watt’s 18 points led Buffalo, whose 52 points were a season low. Bulls leading scorer Javon McCrae (17.3 points per game), scored only eight points on 4-for-13 shooting. The Bobcats lead the series 23-8.

SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — Al Jefferson scored a season-high 30 points and Paul Millsap added 19 and the Utah Jazz defeated the Cleveland Cavaliers 113-105 Tuesday night. It was Utah’s fifth straight win as the Jazz (6-3) improved to 5-0 at home. The Jazz are off to their best start at home since beginning the 2008-09 season at 6-0. The Cavs (4-5) fell to 1-3 on a seven-game road trip, and visit Phoenix, the L.A. Lakers and Charlotte next. Antawn Jamison led Cleveland with 22 points, including 13 in the third quarter, as he tried to rally the Cavs. Utah dominated inside, with 56 points in the paint. Cleveland pulled within six points midway through the fourth quarter before Josh Howard converted a three-point play. Jefferson then added a pair of jumpers, and a congressional committee he never used PEDs, facing one count of obstruction of Congress, three counts of making false statements to Congress and two counts of perjury. Sosa, the 1998 NL MVP who is seventh with 609 homers, was accused in a media report of testing positive in baseball’s 2003 survey and avoided giving direct answers when he testified before Congress. All three have denied knowingly using PEDs. Yet, a percentage of the voters no doubt believe they did. “I think the museum is very comfortable with the decisions that the baseball writers make,” Hall chairman Jane Forbes Clark said. “I don’t see it as good or bad. I see it as part of what we do. I see it as we preserve the history of baseball, and it is part of the history of baseball. And so it’s not a bad debate by any means.” Mark McGwire is 10th on the career list with 583 home runs and his 70 held the season record before Bonds. But he hasn’t come close to the 75 percent needed for election during his six appearances at the ballot. He was between 21.9 and 23.7 percent during his first four tries, then failed to reach 20 percent in the two votes since he admitted using steroids and HGH. Some voters feel his statistics were as inflated as his body. “The numbers were there. I guess you still have to determine were those totals reached fairly,” O’Connell said of the Steroids Era players in general. “I think what’s complicating it more now is, at one time we thought it was just a small percentage. Now it’s beginning to look like the small percentage were the people that weren’t dosing on something. So maybe the playing field was a lot more level than we thought.” Larkin, who will be inducted on July 22 along with the late Ron Santo, was never accused of PED use. Asked whether he was tempted, he responded: “No. No. No.” Playing through the time when steroids use peaked and testing with penalties was put in place for his fi- Hoover From Page 5 hosts with 12 points, followed by Ashtyn Wedge with 11 points and Katelyn Garrett with nine markers. That trio combined for just two of their 32 points in the fourth quarter. Katie Bruner added eight points and Cassie Nibert had two markers, while Allison Smith rounded out the scoring with one point. PPHS was 6-of-14 at the free throw line for 43 percent. Chelsie Chapman paced Herbert Hoover with a game-high 14 points, followed by Makayla Shamblin with 13 points and Jordan Marshall with nine markers. The guests were 12-of23 at the charity stripe for 52 percent. The win also allowed HHHS to salvage a split in the season series, as Point Pleasant claimed a 40-37 decision in the first matchup in Clendenin back on December 3. Point Pleasant returns to action Saturday when it travels to Buffalo for a nonconference matchup at 7:30 p.m. C.J. Miles hit a late 3 to seal the win. Rookie Kyrie Irving added 20 points for the Cavs. Irving’s driving layup pulled Cleveland within 106-101 with 57 seconds remaining. But Miles, who had played only 13 minutes combined in the previous two games and was in a shooting slump, hit a 3-pointer with 36 seconds left to bump Utah’s lead back to eight. The Cavs trailed 85-80 entering the fourth, and were within 91-85 when Howard was fouled, got the goaltending call and made the free throw. In the third, the Cavs opened on a 13-7 run, with Jamison scoring 13 in the period. But Jefferson scored 14, and each time Cleveland made a move, Jefferson countered. Tristan Thompson’s jumper pulled the Cavs within 94-87, but Jefferson hit a 7-footer. His 14-footer gave Utah a 100-89 lead. Utah led by nine at halftime 52-43, thanks to 32 points in the paint and 61.5 percent shooting, including 8 of 8 for Millsap Millsap started 9 of 9. The Jazz outscored Cleveland 11-1 to finish the second quarter after trailing 42-41 with about 5 minutes left in the half. Millsap started the run with his seventh straight field goal, Jefferson followed with a jumper and Devin Harris hit a 3-pointer. Cleveland shot just 39 percent in the first half, with Jamison making just 3 of 12. The Jazz led 27-26 after the first quarter. They got 20 points in the paint and a 3-pointer by Earl Watson at the buzzer. There were 12 lead changes and four ties in the first quarter. Irving had six points in the first six minutes, but didn’t score again until his 3-pointer with 8:22 left in the third. Steroids From Page 5 least way, I have a problem with it.” Bonds is a 14-time AllStar, seven-time MVP, eight-time Gold Glove outfielder and two-time batting champion. He holds the home run records with 73 in a season and 762 in his career. He also was convicted in April of obstruction of justice for giving an evasive answer in 2003 to a grand jury investigating drug distribution. Clemens is an 11-time AllStar, seven-time Cy Young Award winner and the 1986 AL MVP. He also is ninth on the career list with 354 wins and third with 4,672 strikeouts. He also is scheduled for a trial in April on charges he lied when he told nal season in 2004, he noticed what was going on around him. “Certainly there were instances where there were a couple guys that I went what in the world is this guy doing?” he said, widening his eyes. “There were a couple instances that I know where guys came to me and talked to me about kind of the situations they were in and things they had to do in order to feed their families.” When he thinks about what he called the “Juiced Era,” he considers the pitchers that were throwing to him, not the other hitters. “How about those guys that it wasn’t so obvious, that were able to hang onto that slider just that much longer and make that ball break, so instead of hitting the ball off the sweet spot, I missed the sweet spot by that much?” he said. “That’s the finiteness of the difference between being successful and not being successful.” With all the focus on steroids, Jack Morris could be next year’s big beneficiary. He increased his total to 67 percent from 54 percent last year and has two more tries on the ballot before reaching the maximum 15. The vote won’t be all about steroids. “He could be an alternative for people next year that might not want to vote for Clemens,” O’Connell said. “I think Morris has every reason to be encouraged.” �Friday, January 13, P.O.

Foreigners, higher education and a willingness to grow mark the next 12 months. A foreigner also could play a significant role, and/or you could travel, making a long-desired trip. Communication flourishes. Often you seem to know who is calling before you even pick up the phone. If you are single, you will put yourself out there more, increasing your chances of meeting Mr. or Ms. Right. If you are attached, this year presents many different opportunities to become even closer. Don’t worry about an occasional quarrel. VIRGO points to greater intellectualism. The Stars Show the Kind of Day You’ll Have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult ARIES (March 21-April 19) HHHH Being detail-oriented is excellent, but don’t get so involved that you lose sight of your major interest and direction. Discussions within your circle of friends help solidify ideas and encourage opening up to yet another view. Tonight: Easy works. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHHH Consider testing the waters before you leap in. You might feel or hope a situation or person is one way, only to discover just the opposite or find some tragic flaw weaving into the scenario. The Bull is known for its patience. Use that quality with good timing. Resist a snap judgment. Tonight: Let your hair down. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHH Consider what is going on behind the scenes or with an important friend or loved one. A thread of what is hidden is about to rear its ugly head. Though you might not want this information, do use it and discover the power of reality. Drop the rose-colored glasses. Tonight: Invite a friend to join you. CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHH Start moving in a new direction. You could be baffled by what is going on. Test the waters to separate fact from misinformation. Base plans on reality, and success becomes more likely. Weaving through an illusion could result in failure. Tonight: Accept an invitation to join your friends. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HH Be aware of your need to possess or be in control. Your imagination takes you in many different directions to achieve the end goal. Let go of that need — at least this once — and see what people do without your push. Tonight: Enjoy, but do remember your budget. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHHHH You seem to have more steam and energy than usual. Others sense this energy. Don’t be surprised by another person’s efforts to touch base with you. Confusion could affect a work or personal matter. Slow down and get feedback. Tonight: All smiles. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHH In order to understand the dynamics around you, slow down and observe more. Also understand that your mind could be filtering the information that comes forward. Curb a kneejerk reaction. Given time, you will see the situation differently. Tonight: Play it low-key. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHHHH Don’t hesitate to take the lead; others will follow. Unfortunately, you could be witness to some deluded thinking within your immediate circle. One person, probably male, could push the envelope. Tonight: Where your friends are. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHHH You might send mixed messages without intending to. Pressure comes from a public commitment or professional matter. At the same time, don’t delude yourself about a personal issue. You might not be content in the long run. Tonight: Could go to the wee hours. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHHHH Keep reaching out for more information and/or a key person at a distance. You are able to make an imprint by taking a conversation to another level. Make sure your audience follows as well — if you want to be effective. Tonight: Off to the movies or listening to music. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHHHH You have the ability to make a difference when dealing with individuals. If you surround yourself with too many people, your uniqueness melts into the group. A partner or associate takes a strong stand. Follow through on a strong instinctive reaction. Tonight: Togetherness. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHHHH Defer to others, knowing full well you can reverse courses if you want to. If someone feels that strongly about a key issue, this person needs to see what happens when he or she takes the position behind the steering wheel. Tonight: Sort through the possibilities. The more people, the merrier.
