The Ohio Department of Health grant funds which have financed the program for many years were discontinued on June 30, 2012. However, the pregnancy care program continued through February using Medicaid dollars from another program. Connie Little, RN-BSN has been a part of the program since it’s beginning. The pregnancy care clinic services were provided by Dr. Wilma Mansfield for many of those years. Little viewed the program as an opportunity to make a difference for pregnant women who might be having difficulty taking care of themselves and to con- tribute to the health of their babies. One of the program goals, according to the clinic director, was to reduce the rate of low-birth, preterm infants which many times require extensive and expensive medical care. It has been estimated that about 2,000 women used the clinic for their pre-natal care over the years. According to Little, the Ohio Department of Health decided to make changes in the Children and Family Health Services grant pro- posal regarding pregnancy interventions. “Our county’s preterm birth rates became the deciding factor,” said Little. “Meigs County’s latest preterm birth rate was 12.2 percent compared with Ohio’s 12.3 percent. This one tenth of a percent is what prevented the Health Department from getting further grant funds for prenatal interventions.” According to the 2011 annual report on the program, 194 women came in for pregnancy tests with 113 testing positive. Eleven who tested positive were under 18 years old. As for client visits, 534 visits were recorded, with initial pregnancy care at the Health Department’s Pregnancy Care Clinic being selected for the initial pregnancy care with 100 percent of those 37 being identified to be at-risk for early deliveries and/or poor delivery outcomes. Little, in the annual report, indicated that all clients who attended the Pregnancy Care Clinic for the first 26 weeks of their pregnancy had babies who were born with an adequate birth weight, this being what she described as “the main marker that is used to determine birth rate outcomes.” Discontinuance of funding to the Health Department to support the Pregnancy Care Clinic leaves a void in services to Meigs County women who are pregnant. David Ramey pleads not guilty Vinton man accused of shooting, killing wife By Amber Gillenwater mdtnews@mydailytribune.com Charlene Hoeflich/photos Steve VanMeter, right, was presented the “Legionnaire of the Year” trophy by John Hood, Drew Webster Post commander. Celebrating the Legion’s 93rd birthday By Charlene Hoeflich choeflich@mydailysentinel.com ATHENS (AP) — Crews are expected to use jackhammers to remove a large boulder that fell from a southeast Ohio hillside, crushing a car and damaging a home and three other vehicles. The boulder that fell late Tuesday is estimated at about 100 tons and 25 feet in diameter. No one was hurt. Athens city officials say it will take a week or longer to remove the rock, to be used as fill for a city project. They say the slide was likely caused over time by penetration of a rock fissure by tree roots and rains. Crews and specialists continue to assess the area’s stability. Tim Pfaff, who owns the home the boulder struck, tells the local media outlet the rockslide “sounded like a huge hailstorm” and brought lightning-like flashes. As previously reported by the Associated Press, Two Fort Street homes GALLIPOLIS — A suspect accused of shooting and killing his wife last month recently appeared before Judge D. Dean Evans in the Gallia County Court of Common Pleas, pleading not guilty to charges stemming from the event. David A. Ramey, 38, Vinton, pleaded not guilty to one count of aggravated murder, one count of murder, both special category felonies, and one count of disrupting public service, a fourth degree felony, during hearing on Monday. The charges came after the death of the defendant’s wife, Stephanie R. Ramey, 28, which occurred on February 15 at a residence on Hartsook Road located near the Village of Vinton. Ramey was indicted by a grand jury after the case against him was bound over to the common pleas court from the Gallipolis Municipal Court late last month. According to the original complaint filed in municipal court and signed by complainant Sgt. Eric Werry of the Gallia County Sheriff’s Office, during the early morning hours of February 15, “the Defendant went to the residence where the victim, his estranged wife, was residing and shot the victim twice, once in the head. The Defendant then warned his mother [Barbara Ramey], a witness in this case, that he would kill her if she called EMS or law enforcement. The Defendant was in possession of a handgun when he was taken into custody by Sheriff Browning See MURDER ‌| 3 Amazing Grace Church conducting food drive By Charlene Hoeflich choeflich@mydailysentinel.com John Hood, Post commander, presents a certificate to Paul Kloes in recognition of 60 years membership. were evacuated late Tuesday night after a large boulder broke free from a hillside near 60 Fairview Avenue in Athens and crashed into a home and flattened a vehicle. Around 10:15 p.m., a large boulder broke loose from the hillside and rolled down to Fort Street, crashing into the carport area of the home of Tim and Diane Pfaff at 20 Fort St. The rock brought tree debris, smaller rocks and utility lines down with it on its path to Fort Street. No one was injured in the incident. See BIRTHDAY |‌ 3 TUPPERS PLAINS — Again this year, the Amazing Grace Community Church in Tuppers Plains is partnering with the Annual Alan Shawn Feinstein Food Drive in efforts to fill the food needs of Meigs Countians. From now through April 30, the program of collecting food to distribute to disadvantaged families will continue. For the past 14 years, Alan Shawn Feinstein has been giving away $1 million annually to anti-hunger agencies throughout the country who donate to the cause of feeding the hungry. The more donations the Amazing Grace Community Church collects over this two-month period, the more money Feinstein will give to the Church. Donations can include cash, checks and food items. Ac- cording to a church representative, the Alan Shawn Feinstein philosophy is that each of us was put here on earth to do what we can to help those in need, and that is the philosophy of the Amazing Grace Community Church, too. The Feinstein project has become among the greatest grass roots campaign ever to fight hunger in our country. Monetary donations can be mailed to the Amazing Grace Community Church in care of Darl Collins, treasurer, 1720 Cornes Road in Little Hocking, Ohio 45742. Food items can be dropped off at the Amazing Grace Community Church on Wednesday evening at 7 p.m. or on Sunday morning at 9 a.m. or by calling Pastor Wayne Dunlap at 740-667-0194 to make other arrangements. The Amazing Grace Community Church’s Food Pantry helps people living in this area.

No one was injured in the incident. The Pfaffs and neighbors at 18 Fort St. were evacuated as a result of the rock slide, but only the Pfaff residence suffered direct dam- age as a result of the fallen rock. During a news conference Wednesday morning, Athens Deputy Service-Safety Director Ron Lucas said in addition to the structural damage at the Pfaff residence, a vehicle was completely crushed underneath the large boulder and three other vehicles were damaged. “Thankfully, no one was injured,” Lucas said. Lucas said residents at 20 and 18 Fort St. were displaced due to lack of See BOULDER ‌| 3 Chris Filson/photo ��� �� �� �� www.mydailysentinel.com www.mydailysentinel.com www.mydailysentinel.com www.mydailysentinel.com www.mydailysentinel.com Friday, March 23, 2012 Friday, March 9, 2012 Friday, March 16, 2012 Friday, March 2, 2012 Friday, February 24, 2012 The Daily Sentinel • Page 2 The Daily Sentinel����Page A5 The Daily Sentinel� • Page 5 The Daily Sentinel� s Page 5 The Daily Sentinel� s Page 5 WORSHIP GOD THIS WEEK Please email changes to mdtnews@mydailytribune.com Fellowship Apostolic Fellowship Apostolic Church of Jesus Apostolic Church of Christ Jesus Christ Apostolic Van Zandt andand Ward Road.Road.

Birthday From Page 1 The Pfaffs and neighbors at 18 Fort St. were evacuated as a result of the rock slide, but only the Pfaff residence suffered direct damage as a result of the fallen rock. During a news conference Wednesday morning, Athens Deputy Service-Safety Director Ron Lucas said in addition to the structural damage at the Pfaff residence, a vehicle was completely crushed underneath the large boulder and three other vehicles were damaged. “Thankfully, no one was injured,” Lucas said. Lucas said residents at 20 and 18 Fort St. were displaced due to lack of electricity and natural gas service. Columbia Gas shut off service to the homes as a precautionary measure so city crews could safely repair a 4-inch waterline that was busted as a result of the falling rock. Two American Electric Power Ohio electric poles were destroyed as a result of the rock slide and AEP crews had to replace the poles. Utilities were restored to all homes in the area by early Wednesday morning except 18 and 20 Fort St. City crews worked throughout the night on Tuesday to repair the waterline. Water was restored to the area Gladys Kleninhas Gladys Kleninhas, 89, Wellston, died Thursday, March 22, 2012, in the Jenkins Memorial Health Care Facility in Wellston.

The indictment in this case states that the defendant, on February 15, “purposely and with prior calculation and design, caused the death of Stephanie R. Ramey,” and purposely caused the death of the victim on the day in question — charges of aggravated murder and murder, respectively.

Andy Stone, director of Athens’ Department of Engineering and Public Works, said the waterline break happened directly under where the boulder landed. “The rock, when it hit the road, the impact of it hitting the road caused the line to basically shear. The line was about 4 feet deep… on the south half of the road and it just sheared (the pipe) right in half,” Stone said. According to Stone, when city crews excavated the site in the early this morning, the edge of the boulder was about 1 foot away from where the waterline was. He said the crews were able to finally access the pipe around 5 a.m. today and it was repaired about an hour later. Lucas said the rock slide was probably caused by tree roots and significant rain that penetrated a fissure in the rock which over time caused the rock to fail. He said geotechnical specialists will be brought in to assess the hillside. He said Fort Street would remain closed to traffic until city crews can remove the boulder from the roadway. Wednesday morning, Stone said he didn’t know how long it would take crews to remove the boulder. He said could take a week or a month. “I would estimate a week, if not more,” Stone said. Stone said the rock will likely be broken up and used as fill for another city project. When asked if there was anything the city could have done to prevent the accident, city officials said the cliff is on private property belonging to resident Michael Weiser, who resides at 60 Fairview Ave., which is located above Fort Street. Stone said he didn’t believe the city could have done anything to prevent the rock from falling due to its massive size. Stone said he believed additional rock on the hillside was stable, but said crews were continuing to assess the location today to see if any more rock appeared to be loose. He said if other large sections of the rock appear to be weak, the city may do some preemptive removal. According to Stone, parking has only been permitted on one side of Fort Street due to prior small rock slides. He said other slides have occurred on the hill, but nothing to this magnitude. “Due to the nature of the area, being the former clay mine, a lot of the hillside was removed about 100 years ago and it has exposed some upper level sandstone strata that otherwise would not have been exposed high up in the air,” Stone said. Stone said the last significant slide that occurred in that area happened about 200 feet northeast of Tuesday’s slide about seven years ago.

According to testimony during the preliminary hearing in municipal court, Ramey allegedly took the cord out of the telephone at the residence on Hartsook Road before threatening Barbara Ramey, who was present in the home at the time of the incident. The suspect allegedly told his mother that he would kill her if she tried to get help. Barbara Ramey later testified that she used an alternate phone to call 911 after her son departed. During the arraignment hearing on March 19, Ramey’s bond was set at $1 million, 10 percent. A trial date has been set for 9 a.m. on May 1 in the common pleas court. A plea agreement may be filed by April 20. Ramey is currently being held in the Gallia County Jail.

I believe four individuals still are in contention for this position, and like it or not two of those now appear to be out in front. There’s something about politics in general which reminds me of the timeless children’s taunt: …“anything you can do I can do better, I can do anything better than you.” Far be it from me, of course, to imply that politicians-as-a-whole are childish in their behavior, but a lot of what they say is permeated with this theme. Of course we hope those we elect are more committed, diligent and, above all, effective than is the opposition candidate. Nevertheless, it occurs to me that for some people, in politics as in most everything else, the one they favor most is that individual they believe will best serve their own selfish interests, and thus bring about their personal happiness. Which brings me to what is said on the signboard of St. Paul’s Lutheran Church, down the street: … “It’s hard to say what brings happiness; both poverty and wealth have been tried.” Of course, what works for some will not work for others. Most of us them to be in Kenya — where would find it quite challengthey’ve been serving for the ing, if not impossible, to cast past twenty-eight or so years. off our current income and fiBut, what becomes of the nancial status, given the many individual who has stuff he or perks and privileges we curshe is unwilling to part with?!? rently enjoy.

There would be no happiness for him ever again, because his was the fatal mistake of thinking only about the present to the total neglect of the future, of obsessing about what is inconsequential and temporal, while forgetting completely about that which is intangible and invisible—but eternal. There is a very real void in our lives only Almighty God can fill, and only when He is in His rightful place is real happiness possible. Apart from God within there can be no such thing as “peace of mind”; the alternative is a chimera, an illusion. As Jesus tells the story, the farmer had been deluded into thinking he was “some kind of wonderful,” a paragon of farmers everywhere, one who had finally got “a piece of the rock.” We could commend this farmer for having been energetic and focused; his success speaks for itself. He had even succeeded in exceeding his own goals, proof he knew his stuff! Yet, God condemned him for what he was—a “FOOL!” What a way to go!!! In God’s eyes, we are all little birds If you read last week’s installment, then you know I have been feeding birds and watching them. This week I saw something interesting. I have enjoyed watching the little finches, wrens and other small birds dart around on the feeders and hopping on the ground. I also have several downy woodpeckers that I just adore. Everyone gets along, except for this starling. This one starling likes to be king of the feeders. He does not like anyone else to have any. He wants it all for himself. He has learned that the sound of my back door unlatching means I am coming outside and he takes off. As soon as he does, the little ones come back. This starling very much resembles a bully. He just picks at the other birds. Remember what the say about bullies? That eventually someone bigger comes along? Well, this past week someone bigger came along. I have not been able to identify the type yet, but this very large woodthe woodpecker chased the pecker showed up just as the starling off.

We watched as once again der how many “little birds of faith” have been scattered away because of the bigger ones? I wonder if the “big birds” even consider their thoughts, words, and actions? How many times do we hurt one another simply because we do not think of our words and actions? How many times do we get so busy in what we are doing that we fail to recognize when another “big bird” has come along to help and we shoo them away too? Maybe we get jealous. Maybe we just do not realize they are just as strong and capable to carry some of the burden too. The thing is, God has provided His Word for all of us to be fed. There is room for everyone at His feeder. We may not like the person in the pew or seat next to us, but that is where God’s grace comes in. He knows how you feel. Be honest with Him about it and let Him have room to work on your heart because in His eyes we are all little birds, even the starlings. May you find the joy of His grace and redemption as we approach Holy Week. His grace is sufficient and His love complete for us little birdies to truly live Grace Out Loud!

Organizers say both of the bands are made up of young people between the ages of 16-17 who have accepted the Lord’s calling to go and minister to people all over the United States with their music. The concert is free due to “generous” donations from some local churches, businesses and individuals. Organizers say it’s a great feeling to see young people, like those in these two bands, who have surrendered their lives to Christ to travel and witness to other youth. Organizers feel this shows being a Christian can be fun. The show is part of the “iShine Tour.” iShine is a Christian media group dedicated to Submitted photo The group Mission 6 (pictured) will appear at a free, Christian youth concert on Sunday at PPJ/ SHS. ministering to pre-teens and their families. Tween’s or pre-teens are defined as children between the ages of seven and 13, and represent the single most influential age group in the world today, according to iShine. Main stream media and consumer marketing groups focus their messages of identity, popularity and value predominately to the “Tween” marketplace for a reason, iShine goes on to say via its website. iShine states its purpose is equipping preteens and their families to illuminate their world and find their value, identity and purpose in Christ . Unhappy public not sure who to blame for high gas prices LOS ANGELES (AP) — Families canceling vacations. Fishermen watching their profits burn up along with their boats’ gasoline. Drivers buying only a few gallons of gas at a time because they can’t afford to fill the tank. From all corners of the country, Americans are irritated these days by record-high fuel prices that have soared above $4 a gallon in some states and could top $5 by summer. And the cost is becoming a political issue just as the presidential campaign kicks into high gear. Some blame President Barack Obama. Some just cite “the government,” while others believe it’s the work of big, greedy oil companies. No matter who is responsible, almost everyone seems to want the government to do something, even if people aren’t sure what, exactly, it should or can do. A Gallup poll this month found 85 percent of U.S. adults believe the president and Congress “should take immediate actions to try to control the rising price of gas.” An Associated Press-GfK poll last month showed 71 percent believe gas prices are a “very” or “extremely” important matter. Chris Kaufman, who spends $120 a week on gas to travel the 60 miles between his two jobs, at the University of South Dakota in Sioux Falls and at a hotel in Vermillion, S.D., blames the price spike on threats from Iran to cut off oil shipments through the Strait of Hormuz. “I think the candidates running for president need to take a good hard look at that and determine what their foreign policy is going to be for countries that threaten to do that,” he said. “It’s going to affect every single citizen in the United States.” Still, he believes the president has little control over gas prices, adding that it is commodities traders who really dictate prices. Trucker Cory Nissen of Ruther Glen, Va., agrees. “The president is nothing but a fall guy,” Nissen said as he took a break from his rig at a stop in Wilton, N.Y., earlier this week. Nissen, who is paid by the mile, said he has seen his paychecks shrink because his employer has cut back delivery runs in reaction to the rising cost of fuel. “It needs to change and change quick,” he said. “I got bills I got to pay, and half the time I can’t pay them.” On the presidential campaign trail, Mitt Romney called on Obama last weekend to fire his energy secretary, interior secretary and Environmental Protection Agency administrator, dubbing them “the gas-hike trio.” Fellow Republican Newt Gingrich promised to roll the price of gas back to $2.50 a gallon if he is elected. Obama mocked Gingrich’s promise, saying, “They start acting like they’ve got a magic wand and will give you cheap gas forever if you elect us.” Amy Lis of Buffalo, N.Y., and her boyfriend canceled their vacation to Florida this spring in favor of a three-hour drive to Cleveland for an overnight stay and a visit to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Even that trip will cost more than $100 in gas. “It’s more than our hotel,” she said as she filled up her boyfriend’s Ford Ranger pickup. In truth, there is not a lot the president and Congress can do in the short term to push down gasoline prices. They are tied to oil prices, which have climbed in recent months, pushed by increased consumption from developing nations in Asia, Latin America and the Middle East and by concerns about supply disruptions in Iran and elsewhere. Mike Siroub, who has operated a Union Oil station in the Los Angeles suburb of Arcadia for 25 years, said customers who used to fill up their tanks now put in just $10 or $20 at a time, telling him that that’s all they can afford and that they are driving less or using more fuel-efficient cars. He himself has joined them. “I used to have a car with a big V-8 engine,” he said. “I traded it for a four-cylinder Toyota Camry.” Among the things the government can do to bring relief to drivers is reduce gasoline taxes or push to get more fuel-efficient cars on the road. The first new fuel standards since 1990 are just now going into effect, and the U.S. auto fleet is more efficient than ever. People are still feeling the pain. “When I go out to change the prices, they honk their horns and yell at me,” said Siroub whose station’s cheapest grade of gas, regular unleaded, was selling for $4.44 a gallon earlier this week. “The other day one person even gave me the finger.” In New York City, some cab drivers say the high cost of gas is prompting them to race through the streets of Manhattan even more recklessly than usual to pick up more passengers during a shift. “When the gas is up, the money you make is going down,” said Less Sylla, who paid $4.17 a gallon earlier this week. “You see a lot of drivers, they’re driving, boomboom-boom, because the lease is too high and it’s working on their minds. So that’s why they go like that , and it causes a lot of accidents.” Sylla, who s aid he will vote for Obama, blames greedy oil companies.

After a 3-1 setback to Buffalo in the opener, the Point Pleasant baseball team produced 11 runs in four innings Wednesday night during an 11-2 victory over visiting Roane County in a non-conference matchup in Mason County. The Big Blacks (1-1) never trailed in the contest and were up 5-0 through two complete, then went on a 6-1 surge over the next two frames to lead 11-1 after four innings of play. The Raiders (0-2) — who were outhit 9-4 in the setback — managed a run in the top of the fifth to extend the game, but neither team scored the rest of the way. Both teams committed four errors and left nine runners stranded on base. Alex Somerville was the winning pitcher of record for the hosts, while Quentin Corbitt took the loss for RCHS. Somerville allowed two hits and zero earned runs over four innings while striking out eight. Kodi Stranahan worked three innings of relief, allowing two hits and one earned run while fanning two. Eric Roberts led PPHS with three hits, followed by Austen Toler, Brandon Toler and Layne Thompson with two hits apiece. Steven Porter led the hosts with two runs scored, while Brandon Toler led the way with three RBIs. Roberts and Austen Toler also drove in two runs each. Corbitt, Justin Dynes, Scott Fox and Tim Hendershot each had one hit for the guests. Hunter Bradley and Willie Bowman added an RBI apiece, while Corbitt and Eli Kuncherawy scored one run each.

The Broncos won, 29-23 overtime. Jets, Broncos complete trade for QB Tim Tebow NEW YORK (AP) — Tim Tebow is coming to New York. Really. After a big false start, the New York Jets pulled off a Tebow-like comeback Wednesday night, getting the quarterback who turned the Denver Broncos from an alsoran into a playoff team last season and became the NFL’s most talkedabout player — for a fourth- and sixth-round draft pick. Now, Tebowmania is opening on Broadway. And, there’s sure to be plenty of drama — just as there was from the moment the Jets pulled off the deal. Or thought they did, that is. “I’m thankful they stuck with me through this whole crazy process,” Tebow said during a call late Wednesday night, repeating several times that he was “excited” to be a member of the Jets. Eight hours after initially agreeing to a trade, the teams completed it after it was hung up when the Jets balked at repaying Denver more than $5 million for a salary advance due Tebow. The two sides agreed to split that cost, and Jets general manager Mike Tannenbaum said the team was “comfortable with the compensation.” He said there was a disagreement about how to handle the salary advance after Denver received the papers. “We knew what the contract was,” he said. “We had read it. … We felt it was one way; they felt it was another. Based on that, they were well within their rights to assess their different possibilities of what to do and their alternatives. And they did so throughout the day.” So the Jets waited and waited — and looked as if they had botched the big deal. Despite ultimately pulling off the trade, it’s just another bizarre moment for the Jets, a team that has had its share of them over the years, conjuring memories of Bill Belichick’s hiring as coach and his resignation one day later. The deal also raised questions about the Jets’ commitment to Mark Sanchez, who received a See TEBOW |‌8 Point Pleasant edges Lady Generals, 5-4 Alex Hawley ahawley@heartlandpublications.com POINT PLEASANT, W.Va. — The Point Pleasant softball team continued its winning ways as it defeated Winfield 5-4 Wednesday night in walkoff fashion in Mason County. Winfield (1-2) started off fast scoring once in the top of the first inning and once in the top of the third. The Lady Generals added two more runs in the top of the fourth inning but Point Pleasant found their stride in the bottom half of the fourth. The Lady Knights (3-0) scored once in the bottom of the fourth and added two more in the fifth. Going into the bottom of the seventh Winfield was up 4-3 and this was the last chance for PPHS to grab a victory. The Lady Knights pulled it out scoring two runs to take the 5-4 walk-off victory. The Lady Knights’ Kaci Riffle pitched seven innings allowing nine hits and four runs, only two earned runs, while striking out six and walking two. Kaci Riffle also paced the PPHS bats with three hits, and two runs scored. Sarah Hussell, Brooke Fisher, and Ajay Adkins each had two hits, while Regan Cottrill and Ashleigh Diddle had one apiece. Winfield finished with four runs, nine hits and three errors, while PPHS finished with five runs, 11 hits, and three errors.

AA/EOE �Friday, March 23, 2012 www.mydailysentinel.com The Daily Sentinel • Page 8 Miscellaneous URG baseball edges Otterbein, 7-6 By Randy Payton Special to OVP RIO GRANDE, Ohio — Grant Tamane’s bloop single to center with two outs in the bottom of the ninth inning scored teammate Ethan Abell from third base and gave the University of Rio Grande a come-from-behind 7-6 win over visiting Otterbein University, Wednesday afternoon, at a sun-splashed and warm Bob Evans Field. The RedStorm improved to 19-11 with the non-conference victory, erasing a 6-3 deficit after four innings by scoring single runs in the fifth, sixth, seventh and ninth innings. The rally which produced the game-winning run began with a double to right field by Abell, a freshman from Mount Vernon, Ohio, who entered the game in the top of the eighth inning as a defensive replacement. Jon Cheyney replaced reliever Greg Moomaw on the mound for Otterbein and retired each of the first two batters he faced before intentionally walking junior Kyle Perez – who had gone 4-for4 with a walk in his previous five plate appearances – to get to Tamane. Cheyney ran the count to 2-2 before Tamane lofted a blooped into shallow center field just out of the reach of Cardinals’ centerfielder Zach Thompson, whose valiant effort to make a dramatic catch for the final out came up just short, allowing Abell to race home with the winning run. The walk-off win allowed Rio Grande to survive on a day in which it collected a season-high 18 hits, but also stranded a season-high 14 runners on base. Otterbein (11-5) took a 2-0 lead in the first against Rio senior starter Ben Schlater thanks to a two-run home run by Wes Meadows, but the RedStorm rebounded to take a one-run lead in the home half of the inning when Perez led off with a double, junior Shane Spies hit a one-out, game-tying two-run home run to left-center and senior Brian Suerdick added a two-out solo homer to left. The Cardinals regained the advantage in the third thanks to a run-scoring single by Sean Kettering and sacrifice flies to center by Jordan Ashbrook and Jimmy Waterwash. Kettering added an RBI single off of freshman reliever Mitch Martinez, who came on for Schlater in the three-run third, in the fourth to extend the Otterbein lead to 6-3. The RedStorm began the road back in the home fifth when Suerdick led off with second home run of the game and closed to within 6-5 on a leadoff homer by Perez – his first of the season – in the sixth inning. Perez also added a two-out, run-scoring single in the seventh to plate the tying run and set the stage for the fantastic finish. Glen, Sr. Hope Lester, Westside, Fr.

But I’m excited, obviously, that he’s going to be in New York.” So was defensive end Mike DeVito, who likes the intangible qualities Tebow will offer. “You’ve got a tough player on the field, a leader in the locker room and a guy who shares the faith that I share,” DeVito said. “So, I’m very grateful to have him on our team, and I feel it’s going to really benefit us as a whole.” But not everyone’s a fan. Another teammate, cornerback Antonio Cromartie, took to Twitter on Wednesday to express his confidence in Sanchez and the offense as structured before the deal was finalized. “Y bring Tebow in when we need to bring in more Weapons for (at)Mark— Sanchez,” Cromartie tweeted. “Let’s build the team around him. We already signed to 3 year ext.” The Jets signed Drew Stanton last week to be their No. 2 quarterback, ahead of Greg McElroy, the team’s seventh-round draft pick last year. Tannenbaum said Tuesday that he was confident in the trio, but on Wednesday acknowledged that the team would assess that situation. Hall of Fame quarterback Joe Namath, who led the Jets to their only Super Bowl title in 1969, was also among those who were unhappy. “I’m just sorry that I can’t agree with this situation. I think it’s just a publicity stunt. I can’t go with it. I think it’s wrong,” Namath told 1050 ESPN Radio on Wednesday. “I don’t think they know what they’re doing over there.” Two minutes after the Jets initially posted the trade — in which they’ll get a seventh-round pick in 2012 — on its Facebook page, there were 874 “likes,” 366 comments and 247 shares. Most of the comments ran along the lines of: “I might cry” and “He is not welcome here, another terrible decision.” Regardless, the Jets sure got the headlines and were the talk of sports radio — even on a day when the New Orleans Saints received unprecedented punishment from the NFL for a bounty system that rocked the football world. Head coach Sean Payton was suspended without pay for next season, and former defensive coordinator Greg Williams, now with St. Louis, was banned indefinitely. But even all that couldn’t overshadow another embarrassing episode for a franchise that has had to explain away several missteps in recent years. The Jets are hoping Tebow can help change all that. He led the Broncos to the playoffs last season — along the way beating Sanchez and the Jets, who missed the postseason. But Denver executive John Elway believed Manning gave the team a better chance at winning a championship now. For the Jets, Tebow adds a unique dimension to the offense, including running the team’s wildcat package — something new offensive coordinator Tony Sparano enjoys using. “It is very clear: They want me to come in and compete and get better, and get better as a quarterback and to help the team any way possible,” Tebow said. “Whatever that role is, I will do my best.” Tebow also provides a solid presence in a locker room that was rife with infighting last season — particularly between Sanchez and wide receiver Santonio Holmes. He also brings with him a flock of fervent fans for reasons that have to do as much with his faith as his football skills. A devout Christian, he’s been a role model since his days at Florida, when he led the Gators to two national titles and captured the Heisman Trophy. Denver started shopping Tebow after signing Peyton Manning, and the Jets were considered a long shot as late as Tuesday night. But New York went hard after Tebow, envisioning him as a versatile complement to starter Sanchez. The Jets also had pursued Manning, but fell out of that race early when there wasn’t mutual interest. As part of Tebow’s $11.25 million, five-year contract he signed as a rookie in 2010, he had a $6.277 million advance due 29 days after the start of the 2011 league year. That money was paid to him in August after the NFL lockout ended. The trade stalled over the payment the Jets would owe the Broncos from that advance. That allowed Jacksonville to get back into the hunt, and it came down to the Jaguars and Jets. “I think we have a duty to consider all avenues of improving the Jaguars on and off the field, especially given the unique circumstances involving the player,” Jaguars owner Shad Khan said in a statement. “I am very satisfied with the outcome.” Tebow said, contrary to some reports, he didn’t have final say in where he was going. “Ultimately, I really didn’t have any because the Broncos had all that power,” Tebow said, adding that Denver was “gracious” in the way it handled the process. “I was just kind of watching and waiting — kind of like everybody else. It was an interesting day.” On Tuesday, Sanchez spoke highly of both Tebow and Manning on Fox Sports Radio in Los Angeles. “I think Peyton is going to do great, and I think Tim is going to do great no matter what happens,” Sanchez said on “The Petros & Money Show.” ”He can learn from one of the best quarterbacks to ever play or he moves on somewhere else and uses his skills at another ball club. He definitely has talent. He knows how to win. He knows how to impact players, so both guys are really in a good situation. It’ll work out for both of them.” Tebow’s days were numbered in Denver when Manning chose the Broncos as his next destination. They are two entirely different quarterbacks and it made little sense to keep Tebow as a backup because the Broncos were going to have a vastly different offense under Manning, one of the most precise passers in league history. Elway and Fox called Tebow on Monday night to tell him it was possible he would be traded. Elway said he wanted to do right by Tebow, who took over a 1-4 team and led the Broncos to the AFC West title and a playoff win over Pittsburgh. “As a former player, I know the last two weeks were not easy for Tim,” Elway said in a statement. “He was put in a difficult situation, and I commend him for how he handled it with the same first-class manner he displayed throughout his career in Denver.” Porter From Page 6 all-state basketball team released by the West Virginia Sports Writers Association: First Team Makenzie White, Scott, Sr. (Capt.)

During a call late Wednesday night, Tannenbaum repeatedly referred to Sanchez as “our guy” and the team’s unquestioned starting quarterback. “Mark Sanchez is, has been and will be our starting quarterback,” he said. But the Jets have opened themselves — and Sanchez — to what could be a season of added criticism from restless fans who are sure to call for Tebow to play at the first sign of struggles. “We obviously know that Tim has a magnetic following,” Tannenbaum said. “We understand the popularity of the backup quarterback, and this one is more unique than others.” Tebow said he had a “great conversation” on Wednesday with Sanchez, adding that they’ve been friends for several years. “My goal is to push him to get better, and to push myself to get better every day,” Tebow said. “But I think we’ll have a great working relationship. We’ll have a great relationship off the field, and we’ve had that the last few years. He’s such a classy guy and handles himself so well, and I’ll be very honored to call him my teammate.” Just a few weeks after “Linsanity” swept the area and the rest of the NBA with the Knicks’ sensation- �Friday , March 23, 2012 Friday, March 23, 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 Friday, March 23, 2012: This year, true to Aries’ standard behavior, you will decide to buck the status quo.

(AP) — Record low scoring at two of West Virginia’s three boys basketball championship games is prompting calls for the state’s governing body for high school sports to adopt a shot-clock system. Newspapers, talk radio and some message boards this week buzzed about the slower pace of some games at last week’s state tournament at the Charleston Civic Center. How slow? Hedgesville beat George Washington 33-32 in Class AAA on Saturday in the lowest-scoring boys championship game under the current threeclass format that began in 1959. It broke by 25 points the previous combined low-scoring Class AAA title game. “I knew the state tournament championship game was going to cause a stir,” said Mark Hatcher, the coach at Class AAA Logan. That wasn’t the only one. In Class A’s championship game, Charleston Catholic beat St. Marys 40-34 in the lowest-ever scoring finale in that class. There were 10 combined free throws in the Class A title game and 11 in the Class AAA championship game. Scoring wasn’t just a challenge in the finals. Even when overtime was needed to decide its quarterfinal game, Hedgesville only scored 39 in a win over Wheeling Park. In the semifinals, Hedgesville trailed 15-14 at halftime to Parkersburg after holding onto the ball for 5 minutes on one possession. Hedgesville coach Kelly Church said the Parkersburg stall tactic was due to his top two players being in foul trouble. On Tuesday he didn’t regret that or anything else his team did. He said his players followed the same rules every other team has to follow. “I’m not going to apologize to anybody for the strategies we used to win the state tournament,” Church said. Martinsburg coach Dave Rogers, a member of the Secondary School Activities Commission’s boys basketball committee, said he’s sure the issue will come up at the committee’s meeting later this month. It also was discussed last year, although no action was taken. “To say one way or the other, I can go either way,” Rogers said. “If they tell me to use a clock, I’m OK with it.” To get a shot-clock system implemented, many issues would need to be addressed, including the costs of installing them at every high school venue, and how it would change not just the art and flow of the game, but the makeup and philosophies of teams and coaches. Fan interest in scoring might play a part, too. The attendance for the Class AAA championship game on Saturday was 3,500, far below what the tournament has seen in previous years for its marquee event. Dribbling the ball in place and slowdowns are “a part of basketball,” Hatcher said. “As a fan I can see where they say ‘man, this is boring.’ As a coach, not every year I’m going to have a team that can run and gun.” Cost would certainly be at the forefront. A set of shot clocks was installed at the Logan Fieldhouse in an effort to attract colleges and even some developmental league games. But Hatcher said that system cost as much as $7,000. He said smaller high schools likely can’t afford a scaled-down system costing at least $5,000. “Your expenses are going to be your major complaint,” Hatcher said. “That’s a pretty steep price.” Dave Archer, president of the National High School Basketball Coaches Association, said he didn’t know how many states have shot clocks for high school basketball, but quite a few interested states have cited costs as the reason not to do it. One state that doesn’t have the shot clock is Oregon, where in the recent girls tournament, Willamette High held the ball for six straight minutes in the first quarter and for all but six seconds of the second quarter. But Springfield High overcame that to win the Class 5A girls title 16-7. The teams attempted a combined 23 field goals. If the shot clock is discussed in West Virginia, Rogers said he’ll keep an open mind. “It’s not going to affect how we play, because we run the ball up and down the floor,” Rogers said. “I do know there has been some talk about teams trying to take the air out of the ball and be very deliberate. (The shot clock) would certainly change the style of those teams and how they play.” Archer also is director of the Basketball Coaches Association of New York, which has used the shot clock — 45 seconds for boys, 30 seconds for girls — for at least a decade. He said coaches in New York believe the shot clock is paramount for the development of players who want to play in college, and yet it hasn’t made the game a track meet, either. “It’s kind of like the college clock,” Archer said. “It doesn’t affect the scores. You can still get low scores.” Church celebrated his team’s championship with a school pep rally on Tuesday, and another celebration was planned Wednesday with members of Hedgesville’s 1970 championship team. He said he doesn’t mind debating the use of a shot clock, but he, too, has serious doubts whether it would happen due to the costs and work to get it implemented. And Hatcher wonders if any such effort would be worth it . “Does it really change our state championship game?” Hatcher said. “I don’t know.” Get your game on at with our online college basketball bracket contest!
