Smith, 64 Mamie M.“Sis”Stephenson, 88 Library hoping to maintain services with help of tax levy Local library offers much more than books By Sarah Hawley shawley@heartlandpublications.com POMEROY — For the first time in it’s 111-year existence, the Meigs County Public Library will be looking to the community it serves to help with its funding. With repeated budget cuts over the past few years and more expected in the years to come, the local library has been forced to make difficult cuts and could face more in the future. Since 2007, the Meigs County Library has faced a 33.5 percent budget cut, resulting in cuts in staff and hours of operation at all four branches. The biggest round of budget cuts came in 2009, forcing several layoffs. Five full-time employees and five part-time employees were let go. According to Meigs County Public Library Director Kristi Eblin, more cuts are expected in the upcoming year. At the present time, cuts in 2012 are projected to be at or above 6.5 percent. Eblin projected that 98 percent of Meigs County’s library funding comes from the state. The funds available in 2011 were equal to that of the funds the library received in 1997, while costs have repeatedly been on the rise. Over those 14 years, the cost of materials has increased, and two additional libraries have been added in the county. Potential cuts to a library system, which is already “hanging by the skin of its teeth,” have forced the decision to seek funding through a local tax levy. The five year, 1-mil operating levy will appear on the March 6 ballot. This levy is projected to cost $2.67 per month for the owner of a home valued at $100,000. “With the uncertain future of library funding, the levy will ensure the ability to maintain library services in all our current locations and provide the funds necessary to restore some services which were lost to previous funding cuts,” according to the levy fact sheet. In addition to the added stability these funds could provide, the levy funds would allow for more books, E-books, DVDs, audio books and more to be added to the collection already in place. Hours of operation may increase, along with the increase in programs for adults and children. While this is the first levy the Meigs County Library has placed on the ballot, Gallia County passed a similar levy in November 2010. The Meigs County libraries provided much more than just books to Meigs County’s approximately 23,000 residents. According to Mike Struble, chairman of the Save The Meigs County Library committee, the library provides vital services to the area, ranging from computer use for job searches and resumes to education through the book clubs and children’s programs. In 2010, the library had a total circulation of 158,725 items among 23,000 card holders. A total of 12,428 people used the library’s computer system, which is available for use at any of See LIBRARY ‌| 5 Submitted photo Hunter Reed, Clayton Ritchie, and Matthew Frank test water heating and energy equipment efficiency.

Ask Dr. Brothers She knows co-worker’s secret Dear Dr. Brothers: A coworker I go out to lunch with occasionally laid a bombshell on me, and I don’t know what to do with it. It seems that she is having an affair with her supervisor, who is engaged, and they are “doing it” all over the office after hours. I don’t know why she had to tell me this. I promised not to discuss it with anyone, but I feel weird whenever I see the two of them around. It is even starting to affect my work, as they are everywhere! — C.L. Dear C.L.: It must be disconcerting to have been trusted with such an upsetting secret. Obviously, the two of them feel it is a good thing to spend time together behind closed doors after work. You and I know that it really isn’t cool, but when you are sworn to silence, it is difficult to then turn on the friend and tell her that what she is doing really isn’t cool. So, what can you do? I would start by making sure you don’t do anything more to empower her. She may be using your tacit acceptance of the situation as a sign that it’s OK to do what she’s doing. Don’t be available as her confidant, and find some extra work to do when it’s time for lunch. If she has any sensitivity at all, she will sense that the whole situation is making you uncomfortable and that you won’t be there anymore to lend an air of legitimacy to her after-hours activities. If she confronts you, it may By Dr. Joyce Brothers be necessary to risk a rift that will make it a little awkward around the office. But it may be necessary for you to simply tell her you are not OK with keeping her secret, and while you won’t start gossiping about her, she can’t count on you any longer to be her confidant. Let her know just how you feel, and I think you’ll end up in a better place. *** Dear Dr. Brothers: I am a good person who brings a valuable talent to my job. But no matter what I have done in the past few months, my boss tries to undermine me. I have tried to figure out why, but I can’t. I have always done my work well, and other people who formerly supported and complimented me are starting to jump on the bandwagon and criticize me. I don’t know how to fight back. I don’t want to lose my job, but I also don’t want to lose my selfesteem. — S.V. Dear S.V.: When we are treated unfairly at work, the first thing we try to do — as you have — is figure out what we did to deserve it. And when others start piling on, it can have a devastating effect on our selfconfidence. What you don’t want to happen is to have this situation get to you so much that your work actually does start slipping and you find yourself doing a not-so-good job, and your critics’ complaints become a self-fulfilling prophecy. But there are some steps you can take to turn the situation around if you are willing to sacrifice the scenario you’ve painted for yourself, starring you as the victim. Whatever the facts of the matter are, you can change your own thoughts about it, as well as your behavior. It may be true that your work is exemplary and your boss is simply out to get you. But instead of playing the victim card, you could try to look at the situation from a more objective point of view. Under these circumstances, what role can you play that will put you in the best light — knowing that your boss’s attitude might hold firm? Can you tell yourself that you will continue to have high standards and let your work speak for itself? Attitudes like that in people under stress usually are noticed and admired by others. Give it your best try. (c) 2012 by King Features Syndicate The Family of ERNEST (GENE) IMBODEN Need to advertise?

The e3smartSM program is part of the AEP Ohio gridSMARTSM initiative. This cost effective program will help the company meet its targets for reducing electricity consumption enacted by the state of Ohio in Senate Bill 221. The schools and families incur no cost to participate in the program. Last year participating students reported installing over 70,000 CFL light bulbs, replacing existing incandescent bulbs. The students also reported installing outlet and switch gaskets, weather stripping, door sweeps, and low flow showerheads. In addition, they adjusted their thermostats to a more efficient setting and lowered their water heating setting. “e3smartSM continues AEP’s long-standing tradition of enriching energy efficiency education in schools,” said Jon Williams, manager, Energy Efficiency/ Demand Response. “OEP’s success with energy education over more than 20 years and their continued innovation with both teacher training and with the earlier pilot project made them the natural choice to implement e3smartSM. We are educating the next generation of AEP Ohio customers about how they can save energy for lighting, electronics and appliances, space heating and cooling, building envelope (insulation and fenestration) and water heating.” Ohio Energy Project’s original initiative was implemented four years ago with the support of an Ohio EPA grant and then awarded the distinction of “Outstanding Environmental Education Project of the Year in the State of Ohio” by the Ohio EPA in 2008. It has been used multiple times since then in districts throughout Ohio. As a nonprofit organization, The Ohio Energy Project is dedicated to serving teachers and offering the best energy education materials available to teachers and students in Ohio. The OEP philosophy is “kids teaching kids”; this program is an extension of that. e3smartSM is an excellent example of a partnership between families, schools, teachers, and utilities. Teachers from grades 5-12 are embracing this program as a way to make science practical while helping families reduce their energy consumption. Tea party: Warming or resigned to Mitt Romney? DENVER (AP) — Long skeptical of Mitt Romney, tea party activists are either warming up to the GOP presidential front-runner or reluctantly backing him after abandoning hope of finding a nominee they like better. Whatever the reason, the former Massachusetts governor who is coming off of back-to-back victories in Florida and Nevada now is picking up larger shares of the tea party vote than he did when the Republican nomination fight began. And that fact alone illuminates the struggles of the nearly three-year-old movement to greatly influence its first presidential race. “We haven’t gone away,” insisted Amy Kremer, chairwoman of the national Tea Party Express.

The e3smartSM program will expand to serve 32,000 students for the 2011-2012 school year. Now in its third year, e3smartSM is offered to students in grades five through 12 within the 61 county AEP Ohio service territory and is designed to bring math and science learning into students’ homes to reduce energy demands and usage. The Ohio Energy Project (OEP), an award-winning energy education organization, is administering the project. During the last school year, the program reached over 15,900 students and their families in schools throughout Ohio. e3smartSM uses a home to school model to educate families about energy conservation and energy efficiency. Students use energy efficiency devices to learn about required energy benchmarks in the state science standards. Students take home the items used in the classroom, and apply what they learned in the classroom in their home, ultimately installing the devices. For example, students use CFLs to learn about electricity, efficiency, heat, energy transformations, and other science principles. They collect data, graph, and identify trends in data-all the best practices in science education. Then, they take home the CFLs, share their new knowledge, and install them with their families. Each participating student receives a kit of energy saving devices for use at home and activities for family participation. Once installed, these electricity and fuel-saving measures value the supports we provide and the manner in which our network of providers deliver services to them.” Last year AAA8 enrolled more than 1,200 individuals in the PASSPORT program that affords the opportunity to receive quality care and support services in the comfort of their own homes.

The movement influenced the presidential race early on, with candidates from Romney on down parroting the movement’s language and promoting its agenda of restrained spending to curry favor with its adherents. But the coalition was greatly fractured and plagued by infighting. It also watched as one favored candidate after another lost standing or quit the race, among them Georgia businessman Herman Cain and Minnesota Rep. Michele Bachmann. The remaining candidates — Newt Gingrich, Rick Santorum and Ron Paul — have attributes that tea party backers like but they face huge hurdles in knocking Romney off his stride. That’s left many in the tea party shifting focus to Romney, a candidate viewed by many as most likely to unseat President Barack Obama, even if he doesn’t vociferously bang the drum of their top issues. as: what is normal for a breastfeeding mother and what to expect, how to overcome difficulties, breastfeeding management issues and any additional questions or concerns of breastfeeding mothers.

Marine hazing trial delayed after charges expanded KANEOHE BAY, Hawaii (AP) — The court martial for a Marine sergeant accused of hazing a fellow Marine who committed suicide in Afghanistan was delayed Monday after the prosecution asked to expand the details of the charges. Military judge Col. Michael Richardson told prosecutors to provide Sgt. Benjamin Johns’ defense with specifics of the new charge details. Jury selection is expected to begin Tuesday. Johns has been charged with wrongfully humiliating and demeaning Lance Cpl. Harry Lew, who killed himself on April 3. Johns, a squad leader, also has been charged with dereliction for failing to supervise and ensure the welfare of Marines under his care. The government had already told the defense the dereliction charge included allegations that Johns ordered Lew to dig a hole as punishment even though Johns wasn’t authorized mete out such punishment. But on Monday, Capt. Jesse Schweig told Richardson the government wanted to expand its case by saying Johns was also derelict for failing to prevent other Marines from punishing Lew by forcing him to carry sand bags around their patrol base. The general court-martial had been scheduled to start with jury selection Monday at a Marine base in Kaneohe Bay, the home of the 2nd Battalion, 3rd Marine Division, which the accused are assigned to. Johns is the second Marine to be tried in the case. The first, Lance Cpl. Jacob Jacoby, last week pleaded guilty to assault. He was sentenced to 30 days in jail and demoted to private first class. A third Marine will go to trial later. Johns’ attorney said his client was only trying to save the lives of his squad as he tried to get Lew — who had repeatedly fallen asleep on watch and patrol — to stop dozing off. The base had been fired on before, and Johns was concerned Lew wouldn’t spot Taliban fighters trying to attack their outpost again, Tim Bilecki said. “These aren’t acts of hazing. They’re simply not,” Bilecki said. “These are actions of a Marine trying to take care of his other Marines.” Lew, of Santa Clara, Calif., was a nephew of U.S. Rep. Judy Chu, D-Calif., who has called for congressional hearings on the military’s efforts to prevent hazing. In April, the squad was assigned to a small patrol base in a remote part of Helmand province where the U.S. trying to disrupt Taliban drug and weapons trafficking. By April 2, Lew had fallen asleep four times while either on patrol or watch duty in his 10 days at the base. His leaders referred him up the chain of com- mand for punishment and took him off patrols so he could get more rest so he wouldn’t fall asleep. A command investigation report on the incident said Johns, after discovering that Lew had dozed again, told other fellow lance corporals that “peers should correct peers.” At about 11 p.m., he woke up another Marine who was due to relieve Lew two hours later and had him take over the job early. Johns also ordered Lew to dig a foxhole deep enough for him to stand in, so he would stay awake while on watch. The violence escalated after Johns went to sleep. Jacoby admitted in his court martial that he punched and kicked Lew, saying he was frustrated that the fellow Marine repeatedly fell asleep while on watch. He was also upset that Lew spoke to him disrespectfully. The third Marine, Lance Cpl. Carlos Orozco III allegedly put his foot on Lew’s back, ordered Lew to do push-ups, side planks and poured sand into Lew’s face. Orozco has been charged with assault, humiliating Lew, and cruelty and maltreatment. His court martial is pending. �Opinion The Daily Sentinel Page 4 Tuesday, February 7, 2012 Letters to the Editor Reader calls for support of library tax levy Dear Editor, Make a point of supporting the Meigs County District Public Library on March 6, 2012. The proposed 1-mil, fiveyear library levy is not about a “tax” (such a dirty word!); it is about the opportunity and the value of having a library that is current in its programming and its ability to meet the changing needs of the community. The Legislature has repeatedly slashed our library budget — 33.5 percent since 2007 —r esulting in shrinking hours of operation, staffing, services, acquisitions of new materials and introduction and continuation of programs. My vote is to halt and reverse this trend; to help the struggling system to stay abreast of new media and technological innovations. Contrary to any opinion that technology makes libraries and books obsolete, technology merely changes the formats available and the way people use the library. Internet access, ebooks, online legal forms, governmental and employment applications, CDs, DVDs and audio books make our libraries vibrant and welcoming places to gather and interact with your neighbors and with the world. “Knowledge is power” and libraries are repositories for vast amounts of knowledge and the tools to apply that knowledge. The Meigs County library system, for 111 years, has enhanced the quality of life to every generation by providing the resources to promote lifelong learning, whether it is to broaden your studies, to view the finest art, to hear the broad spectrum of music, to visit the architectural wonders of the world or merely to “chat.” Libraries work in partnership with schools and are community gathering and meeting sites. They’re true information portals and are much more than a collection of books. Make it a point to keep our library system in your priorities! You can make a great library system even better. Support our libraries and all they represent. Please, vote for the Meigs County District Library levy on March 6, 2012. Robert Griffin Reedsville Reader spouts off on reelectability Dear Editor, How is it that members of Congress have a reelectability of well over 90 percent, even when their overall approval rating is in the teens? Two major reasons: 1. Follow orders and you’ll keep your seat. 2. Money will pour in to fund your reelection campaign. Since the election, Bill Johnson has been following the bidding of John Boehner. Like his predecessor, Charlie Wilson, he does what he’s told, and votes how he’s told. What you, the constituent voter, want doesn’t matter. Since the election, Bill Johnson has collected checks totaling $418,727.55 from political action committees (PACs) and other politicians. This will ensure that he can blanket the air waves with advertising to reach the voters that don’t attend Tea Parties, Lincoln Day Dinners or political fundraisers. Those are the votes that will get him reelected. That is, unless, you throw him out and give his primary election contender a chance, Victor Smith. Obviously these PACs send the same donations to all members of Congress, just to cover bets — both Republican and Democrat. The trouble is they then have a piece of you; no matter how you might argue to the contrary, money talks. You can refuse and return these donations, but most don’t unless someone complains or there is a scandal. This money will help with their reelection, ensuring that they remain in power and continue the cycle of corruption. Check his Federal Election Commission reports yourself at http:// query.nictusa.com/cgi-bin/ fecimg/?C00476820 and you will be amazed at the number and types of PACs buying his time. Is Mr. Johnson representing the people of the 6th Congressional District, or the Turkish Coalition? Never forget that everyone expects a return on their investment.

Allen, DVM Economics: The cheerful science By Dr. Mark W. Hendrickson Chances are, you’ve heard economics referred to as “the dismal science.” That unflattering description is glib and catchy; it is also 100 percent wrong. Let me set the record straight and explain why economics—far from being dismal—is cause for hope, joy, cheer, and optimism. Thomas Carlyle, a 19th-century Scottish essayist, coined the phrase “the dismal science.” Carlyle was reacting to grim predictions made by the classical economists David Ricardo (1772-1823) and Thomas Malthus (1766-1834). Ricardo posited an “iron law of wages” that sentenced laborers to a life of poverty at the margin of survival. Malthus became the intellectual forbear of today’s gloomy environmentalists by asserting that the human population tended to increase geometrically while the means of sustenance would grow only arithmetically, thereby, like Ricardo, condemning humankind to a poor, tenuous life. Yes, those theories were dismal. Thankfully, though, they were utterly demolished by subsequent events. In country after country, populations and standards of living have multiplied since the days of Ricardo and Malthus. The classical economists failed to foresee such future phenomena as widespread middle-class affluence and people being defined as “poor” despite having cars, air conditioners, and cell phones (not to mention indoor plumbing, a reliable sup- ply of clean water, and other conveniences that most people lacked in 1800). Let’s not be too harsh in judging Ricardo and Malthus for their lack of foresight. Who, in 1800, could have foreseen the marvelous growth of productivity and wealth that would transform the world over the next two centuries? To do so would have been to envision a state of affairs without precedent, entirely outside their scope of experience. What was “dismal” to Carlyle was not economic science, but economic error. Would it be fair to dub aeronautics a “dismal science” on the basis of the many failed attempts at manned flight in the pre-Wright brothers era? The fact is that “economics,” as a distinct science, was still in its embryonic stage when Carlyle wrote. Economics had not emerged as a distinct field of study, and there were no “economists.” Adam Smith was a professor of moral philosophy. Ricardo was a businessman, investor, and politician. Malthus was a preacher. The first chair in “political economy” (notice: NOT even “economics” yet) wasn’t established until 1825 at Oxford University. The classical economists contributed greatly to our understanding of markets, the coordinating function of prices (the “invisible hand”), the division of labor, the need for freedom, and a very light hand for government—but they still hadn’t discovered the foundational principles of econom- The Daily Sentinel Reader Services Correction Policy Our main concern in all stories is to be accurate.

They were still in the thrall of such persistent errors as “the labor theory of value.” “Economics” as a modern science wasn’t “born” until the 1870s, when the neoclassical school emerged as a result of finally figuring out what “value” was. There is no “economic science” without understanding value any more than you can have chemical science without understanding valences or valid arithmetic without zero. Since Carl Menger’s brilliant discovery and articulation of the “subjective theory of value” in 1871, economic science has flourished, culminating logically in Ludwig von Mises’ general theory of human action, called praxeology. Mises used the science of economics/praxeology to prove a priori that socialism literally could not be viable, and that if the goal of a wealthy society is one’s goal, then private property, limited government, and free markets are the means to achieve that goal. In the decades since Mises explained how the world works, history has confirmed the validity of his theories. Mises’ economic science has unlocked the secrets of wealth creation. We know which policies work and which are counterproductive. We now have the economic knowledge to unlock humankind’s potential for eliminating chronic poverty and coexisting and collaborating in a world characterized by peace and abundance. Why, then, is there so much “dismal” news on the economic front today? Because Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

Since 1995, the Heritage Foundation and Wall Street Journal have published an Index of Economic Freedom, an examination of 10 political conditions that affect wealth creation. More freedom, as measured by this index, correlates significantly with economic growth. The recently released 2012 edition shows that the United States has fallen to the 10th-freest economy in the world. It is no coincidence that our economic growth has stagnated as economic activity has become less free. This bad news has a silver lining: We know what we need to do to return to prosperity. Economic science will work in our favor—if only we adhere to its inexorable principles and get the oppressive burden of Big Government and failed political ideologies off our backs. The dismal clouds on today’s horizon are a toxic mixture of moral corruption, political power-grabbing, and economic error. Economic truth is the sunlight that illuminates the way to a bright and glorious future. Thank God for this cheerful science. — Dr. Mark W.

Lionel Hahn/Abaca Press/MCT photo New York Giants head coach Tom Coughlin, right, and quarterback Eli Manning celebrate with the Vince Lombardi Trophy at the end of Superbowl XLVI on Sunday, February 5, 2012, at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis, Indiana. The New York Giants defeated the New England Patriots, 21-17. Giants top Pats for 2nd Super Bowl in 4 years INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Tom Brady let his final pass fly toward the scrum of players in the end zone, hoping for an incredible finish. Uh-uh, Tom. Not in this city, and not in this game. Indianapolis is a Manning town, whether it’s Peyton or Eli pulling out the wins. And the Super Bowl is suddenly the province of the New York Giants, who have figured out how to topple Brady and the New England Patriots in the biggest moments. Eli Manning led another fourthquarter touchdown drive and won his second Super Bowl MVP on Sunday night, leading the Giants to a 2117 victory that provided a pulsating finish to an NFL season that started with turmoil and a lockout. “It’s been a wild game,” said Manning, who now has one more Super Bowl title than his older brother. “It’s been a wild season,” A wild finish was certainly fitting. The Giants (13-7) almost didn’t make the playoffs, needing a lot of help at 7-7 with two games left. Their defense finally came together, and Manning gave them a chance in every game with his penchant for comebacks a league-record 15 touchdowns in the fourth quarter. Of course, his greatest career comeback was in that Super Bowl four years ago, when the Patriots were undefeated and Manning led a late scoring drive that included an enduring Super Bowl moment the incredible catch David Tyree made by trapping the ball against his helmet. The Patriots (15-4) had a chance to avoid more such history on Sunday. Brady, trying to match boyhood hero Joe Montana and Terry Bradshaw with four Super Bowl titles, had New England in range to put it away late in the fourth quarter. Wes Welker dropped a pass at the 20-yard line with 4 minutes left, forcing a punt that gave the Giants another chance trailing 17-15. “It comes to the biggest moment of my life, and (I) don’t come up with it,” said a red-eyed Welker. “It’s one of those plays I’ve made a thousand times.” Manning’s turn for more Super Bowl magic. He threw a spot-on 38-yard pass down the sideline to Mario Manningham, fitting the ball perfectly between two defensive backs barreling down on the receiver. Manningham got both feet down before getting smacked out of bounds in front of the Patriots’ bench, a catch that was upheld on replay and reminded the 68,658 fans at Lucas Oil Stadium one in particular about that other catch four years earlier. “In those situations, you are always looking to see who is going to be the guy,” Tyree said, in the Giants locker room. Once Manningham came down with it, the Giants sensed things had turned their way, just like four years earlier. “I think they are both spectacular catches,” Giants coach Tom Coughlin said. “I think with Mario’s earlier tonight, the way he kept his feet inbounds and held onto the ball (while) going out of bounds was a See BOWL |‌ 8 Locals fare well at girls tournament draw Bryan Walters/file photo Bryan Walters bwalters@mydailytribune.com South Gallia junior Ellie Bostic, middle, is guarded by a pair of Belpre defenders during this Feb. 2 file photo JACKSON, Ohio — The high school of a TVC Hocking girls basketball contest in Mercer- postseason is just around the corner, but the roads for the southeast district ville, Ohio.

All six programs will start the 2012 postseason needing to win at least two games to advance to districts, with Southern being the only squad that would have to win three tournament games to reach the district level. Only two of the six programs — Eastern and South Gallia — earned a seeding higher than eight, although neither team is guaranteed anything by their higher seeds. The Lady Eagles came away with a two-seed in the Division IV bracket, allowing EHS to earn the high placement of any of the Ohio Valley Publishing schools.

The winner will advance to face top-seeded Marietta (15-3) in the sectional final at 1 p.m., Saturday, Feb. 18, in Alexander. Both River Valley and Meigs earned double-digit seeds in Division III, meaning that both squads face an uphill battle in getting out of sectionals.

Blue Angels swept by Chillicothe, 52-46 Bryan Walters bwalters@mydailytribune.com CHILLICOTHE, Ohio — The Gallia Academy girls basketball team made things interesting late, but a pair of slow starts in each half Saturday night ultimately cost the Blue Angels a 52-46 decision to host Chillicothe in a Southeastern Ohio Athletic League matchup in Ross County. The visiting Blue Angels (3-15, 0-8 SEOAL) suffered five-point differences in the first and third quarters, which allowed the Lady Cavaliers (9-9, 2-7) to take an 11-point lead into the finale. GAHS responded with a 15-10 surge down the stretch, but never came closer than two possessions the rest of the way. CHS, with the win, claimed a season sweep after posting a 32-31 win at Gallia Academy back on Jan. 7 in Centenary. The Lady Cavs led 13-8 after eight minutes and 26-20 at the intermission, then used a 16-11 spurt to take a 42-31 lead into the fourth. The Blue Angels connected on 19-of-58 field goal attempts for 33 percent, including a 1-of-9 effort from three-point range for 11 percent. The guests also hauled in 35 rebounds and committed 23 turnovers in the setback while going 7-of-12 at the free throw line for 58 percent. Ciera Jackson and Kendra Barnes both led GAHS with 10 points apiece, followed by Haley Rosier with eight points and Heather Ward with seven markers. Mattie Lanham and Chelsea Sloan each contrib- uted four points each, while Halley Barnes and Violet Pelfrey respectively rounded things out with two points and one point. Alyssa Oates paced Chillicothe with a game-high 16 points, 12 of which came in the opening half. Bri Dawes followed with 12 points, while Kaylee Wright and Jenna Holton both added seven markers each. The hosts were 16-of-25 at the charity stripe for 64 percent.

Eastern unlucky against Lady Irish, 52-48 Bryan Walters bwalters@mydailytribune.com TUPPERS PLAINS, Ohio — It wasn’t even St. Patrick’s Day. Visiting Huntington Saint Joseph hit 10 three-pointers and used a 16-6 fourth quarter run Saturday night to claim a 52-48 decision over the Eastern girls basketball team in a non-conference matchup at the Eagles’ Nest in Meigs County. The host Lady Eagles (12-5) led by one point at the half and also held a two-possession advantage headed into the finale, but the Lady Irish (11-6) hit three trifectas and limited EHS to just one field goal down the stretch — allowing St. Joe to turn a 42-36 deficit into a four-point triumph. The guests led 10-8 after eight minutes of play, but Eastern countered with a 15-12 second quarter run to take a 23-22 intermission advantage. The hosts kept the momen- tum going in to the third canto, using a 19-14 charge to establish a six-point cushion headed into the finale. Four St. Joe players contributed at least a basket in the fourth, including a pair of five-point efforts from Griffin Dempsey and Rachel Lee. EHS, conversely, got one basket from Jenna Burdette to go along with four free throws, allowing HSJ to rally back with a 10-point swing. Burdette and Maddie Rigsby both paced Eastern with 12 points each, followed by Rigsby with 11 markers. Jordan Parker and Brenna Holter both added seven points apiece to round out the scoring. EHS was 7-of-11 at the free throw line for 64 percent. Dempsey paced the Lady Irish with a game-high 21 points, followed by Mychal Johnson with 19 points and Lee with eight markers. Saint Joseph was 8-of-10 at the charity stripe for 80 percent.

URG women rally past St. Catharine, 74-68 Randy Payton Special to OVP RIO GRANDE, Ohio — Charles Dickens was nowhere to be found around the confines of the Newt Oliver Arena on Saturday afternoon but, if he were, the renowned author would’ve no doubt been impressed by the twist that University of Rio Grande women’s basketball put on one of his most famous works, “A Tale of Two Cities”. The RedStorm rebounded from a lopsided loss to Campbellsville on Thursday night by rallying from a 15-point halftime deficit and upending St. Catharine College, 74-68, in MidSouth Conference action. Rio Grande improved to 16-8 overall and 5-5 in the MSC with the victory, while completing a season sweep of the Patriots in the process. “It certainly was a tale of two halves,” said Rio Grande head coach David Smalley. “We were as bad, and I even made the comment in the lockerroom at halftime, that it was the worst first half performance that I’ve seen in my 20 years as the head coach here. It was demoralizing and embarassing. I was trying to rattle their cage enough to get them to think and focus.” Rio trailed by as many as 16 points late in the half before staring at a 39-24 deficit at the intermission. The RedStorm hit just eight of their first 25 field goal attempts, committed 12 turnovers and were outrebounded by the Patriots, 24-11. “We had no energy. We should’ve sent St. Catharine a ‘Thank You’ card for us only being down 15 and not 30 - it was that bad,” Smalley said. “The most frustrating thing was, in the game against Campbellsville the other night, we quit. Today, in the first half, we didn’t quit but we spent a lot of time pointing fingers at each other - it was somebody else’s fault. I can’t take that kind of stuff, so we talked about it and we challenged them. I don’t know if it was anything we said as much as it was coming out and playing with some confidence in the ability that we know we have. Maybe St. Catharine got a little relaxed, but when we came out and got a couple of easy scores our confidence level went way up and we started rolling.” The RedStorm opened the half on a 16-3 run and pulled to within 42-40 after a conventional three-point play by freshman forward Janie Morris with 14:22 remaining in the game. Although on the ropes, St. Catharine (18-7, 4-7) remained upright and continued to maintain the lead until the second of consecutive buckets by junior guard Shardae Morrison-Fountain gave Rio a 53-52 lead with 9:14 left. The Patriots regained the lead just over a minute later on a jumper by Courtney Milam, but freshman forward Tinesha Taylor put the RedStorm ahead to stay on their ensuing possession. It was a lead Rio Grande never relinquished. The RedStorm scored 17 of their 19 points over the game’s final 7:01 from the free throw line and led by as many as nine points on two occasions. By the close of the contest, Rio ended up with an edge in shooting percentage both from the field and the free throw line. They also closed the large rebounding deficit at halftime to a more respectable 42-35 cushion for the Patriots. The RedStorm also forced St. Catharine into 26 turnovers. Senior guard Kaylee Helton, Rio’s leading scorer throughout the season, was limited to less than 10 points for the the second straight outing, but the RedStorm still managed to place four players in double figures. Morrison-Fountain netted a game-high 19 points, including 15 in the second half, to go along with four assists while sophomore guard Kate Hammond had 12 points. Morris and Taylor both added 10 points off the bench and Morris finished with a team-high seven rebounds — all in the second half. Junior forwards Janae Howard and Kasei Evans, St. Catharine’s leading scorers for the season, combined for just 15 points and only four after halftime. Evans had nine points and 10 rebounds in the first half, but was shut out in both categories after the break. Howard, who was averaging nearly 19 points and nine rebounds per game coming in, did not start and was essentially rendered ineffective in her 15 minutes of action. Riane Hofstraat scored 15 points to lead the Patriots, while Reilly Poirier had 13 points and three blocked shots and Milam netted 11 points. “I think (St. Catharine) ran out of gas,” said Smalley. “Don’t get me wrong, we were tired, too, but our adreneline got us through. Once the comeback started, our kids didn’t want to lose it.” Rio Grande returns to action Thursday night, traveling to MSC leader Cumberlands for a 6 p.m. tipoff. Bowl From Page 6 remarkable thing.” The Patriots were thinking the same thing, too. “I thought that play they made on our sideline was a phenomenal throw and catch,” Brady said. “That got them going.” They got down to the 6-yard line with just over a minute left and the Patriots down to one timeout. New York could have run the clock down to a few seconds and kicked a field goal. Patriots coach Bill Belichick did the math and decided on a tradeoff: Give up a touchdown for some time. New England pulled up and allowed Ahmad Bradshaw to run the final 6 yards with 57 seconds left. Once Bradshaw realized what was happening, he tried to stop at the 1-yard line to keep the clock going but ended up falling back- ward into the end zone. Brady would get one last chance with the Giants defense bearing down on him, as it always does. Defensive end Justin Tuck huddled the New York defense after a touchback on the kickoff left the ball at the 20-yard line. “I think a lot of guys had their eyes lit up,” Tuck said. “This is what we’ve been working for all year, and we’ve got 57 seconds left to be world champs.” Brady set a Super Bowl record by completing 16 consecutive passes earlier in the game, topping Montana’s record. When he needed several quick completions to get moving in the last minute, he couldn’t do it. The Patriots got only as far as midfield with 5 seconds left. Brady threw a desperation pass into the end zone, where the ball was batted around in a scrum be- fore falling incomplete just beyond the reach of All-Pro tight end Rob Gronkowski, bringing the spray of confetti from above. “You come down to one play at the end,” Brady said. “If we make it, we’re world champs. If we don’t, we’re wishing we were.” Brady’s had a tough time against this Giants defense. During the regular season, it pressured him into mistakes during a 24-20 New York win in Foxborough, Mass. The Patriots went on to win their next 10, a streak that ended when Brady faced that same defense on Sunday. It just seems to have his number. On his first pass of the game, Brady was pressured by Tuck in the end zone and threw the ball to an open spot downfield to get rid of it, resulting in a safety. By contrast, Manning didn’t make any big mistakes and, again, was at his best under the last-minute pressure. “He’s become confident over time, kind of grew into it,” said his father, former New Orleans Saints quarterback Archie Manning. “I always felt like you have to experience those situations before you become confident. He’s certainly had his share.” And nobody will question anything he says again. Manning was criticized for insisting before the season that he’s an elite quarterback. Then, with the Giants struggling, he was overshadowed by a different Manning drama. Peyton and the Colts were hoping to reach a Super Bowl in their stadium. Instead, the quarterback had neck operations and the team came apart, prompting ownership to clean house. The week leading up to the Super Bowl was over- Visit us online at www.mydailysentinel.com shadowed in town by talk about Peyton’s future. Eli insisted he wasn’t bothered by sharing the spotlight. In the fourth quarter on Sunday, he had it all to himself. Manning was 10 of 14 for 118 yards in the final quarter with his seventh game-winning drive of the season. Overall, he completed 30 of 40 for 296 yards with a touchdown and no interceptions, leading the Giants to their fourth Super Bowl championship two behind Pittsburgh for the record. In the end, a Manning got to hoist the silver Super Bowl trophy in Indianapolis. “It just feels good to win a Super Bowl,” Eli said. “Doesn’t matter where you are.” �TuesdayFebruary , February 7, 2012 Tuesday, 7, 2012 BLONDIE BEETLE BAILEY FUNKY WINKERBEAN HAGAR THE HORRIBLE HI & LOIS www.mydailysentinel.com ComiCs/EntErtainmEnt Dean Young/Denis Lebrun Mort Walker Today’s Answers Tom Batiuk Chris Browne Brian and Greg Walker THE LOCKHORNS MUTTS The Daily Sentinel • Page 9 William Hoest Patrick McDonnell Jacquelene Bigar’s Horoscope zITS THE FAMILY CIRCUS Bil Keane DENNIS THE MENACE Hank Ketchum Jerry Scott and Jim Borgman CONCEPTIS SUDOKU by Dave Green HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Tuesday, Feb. 7, 2012: The Full Moon on your birthday signals a very lively year with a lot of interpersonal interaction.

And when all was said and done, a giant effort on the part of head coach Ken French’s squad produced a much-needed Mid-South Conference victory. Shaun Gunnell and Jermaine Warmack scored 18 points apiece and Turrell Morris added 15 more to lead the RedStorm in a 70-69 victory, Saturday afternoon, at the Newt Oliver Arena. With Oliver himself in attendance, Rio Grande evened its overall record at 12-12 and improved to 3-7 in conference play. St. Catharine, which posted a six-point win over Rio at home back in November, fell to 10-10 overall and 6-5 in the MSC. “Saturday games in this league are about the survival of the fittest and I thought if we kept this game even going to the final five minutes that our toughness would take over the game. I thought it did,” French said. “They hit a couple of threes late, but we were going to win the game. Our guys went out and made some plays and did what they had to do.” The Patriots held a 59-58 lead before Warmack gave the RedStorm the lead for good when he connected on a jumper with 3:50 remaining in the game. Warmack and Gunnell combined for 10 of Rio’s final 12 points — five each — while Morris had the other two on a dunk with 1:32 left to make it 67-61. The RedStorm enjoyed the same sixpoint edge, 69-63, with 30.7 seconds still to play after a pair of Warmack free throws before St. Catharine’s Brandon Johnson sandwiched a pair of three-pointers — one a 30-foot bank shot with 6.9 seconds left and the other a 26-foot bomb with three-tents of a second remaining — around another Warmack free throw to set the final score. Both teams played short-handed - Rio Grande was without the services of senior guard Brad Cubbie (coach’s decision) and sophomore forward Ethan Prater (illness), while St. Catharine’s leading scorer, Kashiff Carr, missed the game as a result of a nagging back injury - but that didn’t prevent the contest from being a typical MSC affair. There were seven ties and 15 lead changes in the contest, including five of each in the second half. Rio Grande raced to a 10-1 lead to open the game, but St. Catharine roared back with 12 straight markers of its own to take a 13-10 edge and set the stage for a backand-forth first half which ended with the Patriots in front, 39-37, at the intermission. Behind the efforts of DeShawn Mitchell, who finished with a game-high 20 points, St. Catharine extended its lead to 45-40 with 16:07 left in the game, but the RedStorm responded with nine of the next 11 points and took a 49-47 lead on a driving layup by Morris - a junior forward from Co- lumbus, Ohio - with 10:58 remaining. Rio went on to open up a five-point lead of its own, 55-50 after a Warmack runner in the lane with 8:25 left, but the Patriots scored six in a row to regain the advantage and set up a back-and-forth exchange until Warmack’s bucket with just under four minutes left gave the RedStorm the lead for good. Gunnell finished with a team-high nine rebounds in the win, while Warmack added six rebounds, four assists and three steals for Rio, which survived a 13-for-24 effort from the free throw line. In addition to Mitchell’s game-high scoring total, St. Catharine also got 13 points from Melo Smith and 10 from Johnson. Pope finished with 11 points, 10 rebounds and four blocked shots. Rio Grande returns to action on Thursday night, opening a four-game conference road trip over a span of two weeks at the University of the Cumberlands. Tipoff is set for 8 p.m. Inside presence makes Buckeyes hard to guard COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Thad Matta knows how lucky he is. Most major colleges wish they had a big guy like Jared Sullinger, someone who can score inside, draw fouls, rebound and is also a superlative passer. “Every coach in the country would like to have a solid, lowpost player,” Matta said on Monday. The 6-foot-9 Sullinger is a nightmare to defend, as Wisconsin’s Bo Ryan well knows. Ryan had his Badgers guard Sullinger one-onone on Saturday and Sullinger made him pay for that decision. He scored 24 points and had 10 rebounds to go with three steals in the third-ranked Buckeyes’ 5852 win over the 19th-ranked Badgers. Some fans might look at the fact that Ohio State (20-3, 8-2 Big Ten) hit just one 3-pointer and look at it as a negative. But that was more of a reflection of how ef- fective Sullinger was in the paint. A year ago, the Buckeyes won their second straight conference title and went 34-3. They had just about every weapon a team could want: 3-point specialist Jon Diebler, gritty freshman point guard Aaron Craft, swing guard David Lighty, sweet-shooting guard William Buford, defensive post man Dallas Lauderdale and Sullinger. This year, after Diebler, Lighty and Lauderdale graduated, the Ohio State offense has made adjustments, although Sullinger is still the first option. “The offense last year was more we could have just stood there and knocked down 3s,” Sullinger said. “This year we’re a little bit more athletic. We’re slashing a little bit more. Honestly, in this offense we kind of know what we’ve got to do to score. When we play insideout or even driving the basketball, we’re very hard to guard.” Sullinger is the biggest reason. Double down on him and he’ll quickly reverse the pass to an open teammate for a bucket. Play him with one defender and the physical sophomore will use his body for leverage inside and force fouls. “I know that when you give him the ball, the whole defense is going to come and trap down on him,” said freshman point guard Shannon Scott, the son of former NBA and North Carolina star Charlie Scott. “I feel like when we get him the ball, it’s going to open it up for everybody else. We can play through him.” Sullinger, who shares the current Big Ten player of the week honors, is averaging 17.4 points (fourth best in the conference) and 9.1 rebounds (second in Big Ten play). He’ll clearly be a marked man when the Buckeyes, who have won their last five games to grab the top spot in the conference, host Purdue (15-8, 5-5) on Tuesday night. The Boilermakers have lost three of four, including a 7861 loss at home against rival Indiana on Saturday. On Monday, coach Matt Painter questioned his team’s effort in its most recent loss. “It’s disappointing. As a coach, you would think in a game like that you would have the effort necessary. Maybe not the execution or making a shot, but you would think that you would have that type of a big-time effort,” he said. “We’re just not getting that across the board. We’ve got to do a better job of that. That’s where you start. If you can’t get a big-time effort in this league, you can do a lot of things well and it doesn’t matter.” The Boilermakers are the last visiting team to win in Columbus. Ohio State has won its last 38 home games the second-longest such streak in the nation since dropping a 60-57 decision to Purdue on Feb. 17, 2010. But Purdue, lacking an imposing presence down low to counter- act Sullinger, will be hard pressed to pull off the upset. Matta has been followed by a series of outstanding big men in his 12-year coaching career. It’s not a coincidence that every team he has coached has won at least 20 games. At Xavier, he had national player of the year David West. Since he’s been at Ohio State, he’s had Terence Dials, Greg Oden, Kosta Koufos, Byron Mullens, Dallas Lauderdale and now Sullinger. “We’ve been fortunate with big guys here,” he said with a grin. For his part, Sullinger said the Buckeyes have shifted into another gear in recent weeks. “Everyone knows what they have to do to make this basketball team go,” he said. “You rarely see anyone stepping outside their boundaries.” Belichick: Giving Giants TD gave Pats best chance INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Bill Belichick gave clear instructions to his defensive unit: Let the runner score. Playing the odds and inviting critics, the calculating coach of the New England Patriots told his players to get out of the way, open a wide path for Ahmad Bradshaw and give Tom Brady a chance to win the Super Bowl in the final 57 seconds. Unusual? Certainly. Crazy? Not at all. The strategy failed and the New York Giants won 21-17 on Sunday night. But Belichick was certain it gave the Patriots their best opportunity. They led 17-15 with 1:04 left but had just one timeout as New York faced a second down only 6 yards from the goal line. If the Patriots tackled Bradshaw, the clock would keep running if they didn’t use the timeout. If they did use it, the Giants could let the clock run after the next play, leaving precious few seconds with Lawrence Tynes setting up for a chipshot field goal. A field goal, Belichick said Monday, that had a “well over 90 percent success rate” from that distance. And that strategy was used, although it also failed, in the 1998 Super Bowl by Green Bay Packers coach Mike Holmgren against the Denver Broncos. Still, it went against the competitive nature of defensive players, whose job it is to keep opponents out of the end zone, and runners, whose goal it is to get there. “It killed me,” said linebacker Brandon Spikes, a hard-hitting linebacker who simply stepped aside. “When the call came in to let them score, I was kind of like, ‘What? I’m here to do my job and it’s my job to play defense and let them score?’ It was tough. It definitely was tough.” Bradshaw also had to fight off his instincts. As he approached the goal line, he tried to stop, like someone trying to avoid losing his balance. But his momentum carried him across the goal line, falling backward, even as game MVP Eli Manning yelled at him to go down. “I tried,” Bradshaw said, “but I couldn’t do it.” So it was 21-17 and Brady had those 57 seconds to score a touchdown. He had done it many times before. Starting at his 20, he threw two incompletions and then was sacked. But on fourth down, he connected with Deion Branch for 19 yards and a first down at the 33. Then he hooked up with Aaron Hernandez for 11 yards to the 44 before spiking the ball. The Giants then drew a 5-yard penalty, moving the ball to the Patriots 49. Still a chance, however slim. With nine seconds left, Brady threw an incompletion to Branch. With five seconds left, there was just one option a desperation pass into a crowd in the end zone. It got there but, with tight ends Hernandez and Rob Gronkowski nearby, it dropped to the ground and the Patriots championship chances and the clock fell to zero. Belichick’s strategy, sound though it might have been, didn’t work out. “He made a good decision,” Brady said. “We left ourselves with a little bit of time.” Early this season, the Patriots lost to the Buffalo Bills 34-31 in the third game when they couldn’t get the ball back. The Bills appeared to score with 1:43 left on a 39yard pass play from Ryan Fitzpatrick to Fred Jackson. But the ruling that Jackson crossed the goal line was reversed after replay and Buffalo got the ball at the 1. Fitzpatrick kept kneeling on every play until Rian Lindell kicked a winning 28-yard field goal as time expired. Belichick’s clear-theway order was similar to Holmgren’s decision in the 1998 Super Bowl. The score was tied at 24 when Check out more new at www.mydailysentinel.com he let Terrell Davis score on a 1-yard run with 1:45 left rather than allow the Broncos to run down the clock for a short field goal attempt. Brett Favre then led the Packers from their 30 to the Broncos 31. But after three straight incompletions, Denver regained possession with 28 seconds to go and John Elway kneeled down to end the game. More recently, the New York Jets had no timeouts and tried to let Jacksonville’s Maurice Jones-Drew score on Nov. 15, 2009. But he stopped at the 1 after a 9-yard gain with about 1 1-2 minutes left. “I was looking for someone to tackle me,” he said. David Garrard took a knee on the next two plays and Josh Scobee kicked a 21-yard field goal that gave the Jaguars a 24-22 victory. Jones-Drew’s play reminded Garrard of when Philadelphia’s Brian Westbrook also took a knee at the 1 to seal a late-season win over Dallas in 2007. But the Super Bowl decision by Belichick is likely to linger the longest as sports fans debate its wisdom over the years. At least one person with a rooting interest, Giants running back Brandon Jacobs, knew it wouldn’t work. “I respect Tom Brady and the New England Patriots,” he said. “He does a great job with the guys he has. But if that was Drew Brees or Aaron Rodgers on the other side, with those big play outfits, 57 seconds would have been plenty enough time for those guys.” The Patriots’ passes, he said, are much shorter. “They needed a helluva lot more than 57 seconds to be able to win the football game,” Jacobs said. “So I wasn’t worried at all.” But what choice did they have? “It was better than not having a chance at all,” Brady said. Report: Haley Steelers’ next offensive coordinator PITTSBURGH (AP) — The Steelers will hire former Kansas City Chiefs coach Todd Haley to be their offensive coordinator, according to an ESPN report. The move, first reported by 610 AM in Kansas City, has not yet been announced. Haley will replace Bruce Arians, now with the Indianapolis Colts. The 45-year-old Haley, fired by Kansas City on Dec. 13, went 19-26 in two-plus seasons with the Chiefs, leading them to the 2010 AFC West title. He spent 10 seasons as an assistant before being hired by Kansas City. He was offensive coordinator for Arizona in 2007-08, helping lead the Cardinals to their only Super Bowl appearance. The Steelers went 12-4 this season but lost the AFC North title to Baltimore on a tiebreaker. The Chiefs were 5-8 when Haley was dismissed. His last game was a tough one. Kansas City lost, 37-10, to the New York Jets at the Meadowlands, and it was their fifth loss in six games. Kansas City committed 11 penalties for 128 yards in the performance, including a 15-yarder on Haley for unsportsmanlike conduct that may have sealed his fate. “Timing in these situations is always difficult. There never seems to be a right time,” Chiefs chairman and CEO Clark Hunt said at the time. “We just felt the inconsistent play the team has experienced throughout the season, including yesterday’s game, made today the right day to do it.” After three lopsided losses to start the season, Kansas City rattled off four straight wins and briefly pulled into a tie atop the AFC West. But that was followed by a home loss to previously winless Miami, the start of a disastrous six weeks in which the losses mounted. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
