Recognize retiring ffi1chets Dear Editor: Two years ago I addressed this .same situation, but those who should have corrected it have not done so. Then, in a paper this week, the same situation has reared its ugly head · again. Anyone who has served in a paid capacity for a business, including a school, deserves recognition when they leave. Two years ago, the Meigs Local School District honored the superintendent's secretary with a dinner and gift upon retiring. This week, two school board members were honored for their service - one whose service was only for four years. Yet the Meigs Local School District refuses to recognize retiring teachers in the district.· One teacher with 40 years service retired two years ago and nothing was done to honor her, let alone the rest who retire with fewer years. Secretaries and school board members are "support staff." Who do they S\lpport? Teachers. Of course, one of these recently retiring board members is known to have said there were no excellent teachers in Meigs Local. This is truly an odd: statement to make when it is tbe school board which hires them. But it may give reason to the failure to recognize teacherS' service. Another school board member has been heard to say the schools should be run like a business. When the local power plants have someone with 25 years of service, that person is honored with a gift and perhaps a dinner and again upon retirement. Many teachers pay hundreds of dollars out of their own pockets to supplement their classrooms because the boards don't supply the money to do it. Is it a lot to ask for a school board w recognize a retiring teacher with a gift and a dinner? Having a business degree and an education administrative degree, I was taught that you lake care of y our employees and show them respect. How · >JUt honoring retiring teachers as you do a secretary an . school board members? Remember: If you can read this, you were likely taught to read by professional teachers. · Keith D. Ashley Pomeroy PageA4 OPINION STAHlER· 111£(c.tVJIIBU5 DISPAl(H. 2C07 . •' j i. 4;~ Terry Mattingly we hear a lot about," said religion professor Robert Millet of Brigham Young University, a veteran of many inte.rfaith dialogues. Still, it's clear that this belief- called "exaltation" is something thai remains "conceivable to Mormons, while it is absolutely inconceivable to traditional Christians." But for modem Mormons, he stressed, there is little or no difference between talking· about "exaltation" and talking about salvation and "eternal life." When it comes to the very nature of God, Mormons have radically different beliefs than traditional Christians. For starters, Mormons reject Trinitarian Christianity and believe that the Father God of this world is a former man who, like Jesus, has a physical, perfected body. This Heavenly Father is married to a Heavenly Mother, creating a celestial family that is the cornerstone of Mormon teachings about farruly and etemity. Most debates about these topics begin with an 1844 sermon by Mormon prophet Joseph Smith, in which he staled: "God himself was once as we are now, and is an exalted Man, and sits enthroned in yonder heavens. That is the great secret. ... I am going to tell you how God came to be God. We have imagined and supposed that God was God from all eternity. I will refute that idea." Note that if Mormons can achieve godhood ;md create new worlds, this implies there are other gods ruling their own worlds. For the many cntlcs of Mormonism, this mystery can be captured in one word - "polytheism." "I think 'polytheism' is . used .. . to describe the multiple gods of, say, · the Greeks and the Romans," Boyd K. Packer, now acting· president of the Quorum of the twelve Apostles, told me in a 1986 interview. "We ·are talking about something entirely different, and that word conjures up ideas that are not accurate. "I suppose that technical· ly, it means 'many gods.' Technically, the word is all right. ... It carries a lot of baggage." These issues loomed overhead as Romney delivered his recent "Faith in America" address. Thus, he risked this profession : ."What do I believe about Jesus Christ? I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son Of God and the Savior of mankind. . My church 's beliefs about Christ may not all be the same as those of other faiths. Each relig;,ion has its own unique doctrines and history." Romney was in a tough spot, said Millet, who attended the speech. It was a classic "danged if you and danged if you don't" situation as the candidate affiimed his heritage while reaching out to the conservative Protestants and Catholics who are so crucial in Republican races today. It 's crucial to understand, said Millet, that Mormons are determined to retain their unique beliefs while striving to clarify the differences between the actual " doctrines of the church and what you might call a kind of Mormon folklore." . The results . will pacify few hostile outsiders, but the trend is clear. "Throughout the church," he said, "our faith is much more Christocentric more centered on the redemptive work of Jesus Christ than the . Mormonism that I knew as a boy in the 1950s. That has affected everything that we say and do."

Give the other guy (or gal) a chance. Of course, unexpected events could render this calculation invalid. Another terrorist attack, along the lines of 9/11 or worse, occurring neltt September or October, could send the voters scurrying back to Republican protection from foreign foes.

But this life, on this world, is just the beginning. Consider this glimpse into eternity, drawn from a funeral eulogy for President Spencer W. Kimball · in 1985. "In the Colorado Rockies, I asked President Kimball a searching question," recalled Barbara B. Smith, the I Oth general president of the church's Relief Society. '"When you create a world of your own, what will you have in it?' He looked around at those mountains for a few minutes before he answered and then he said, Til have everything just like this world because I love this world and everything in it.'" After all, added Smith: "What is our greatest potential? Is it not to achieve godhood ourselves?'' This is the question that will not die when Mormons face the leaders of traditional Christian groups to discuss that blunt question : "Are Mormons Christians?" A fussy feud over doctrinal details? Ask Mitt Romney about that. This concept of devout Mormons achieving godhood and creaiing worlds "is not an idea that would be foreign to Mormons today, but it is also not a concept Page As ·The Daily Sentinel Don't You Care? ,, Two Convenient Locations: 1/4 mile north of Pomero,..Mason .,.dge Mason, West VIrginia (304) ,773-5323 2400 Eallern Avenue Gallipolis, Ohio Phone (740) 44&-1711 Open 7 Dilys A Week! �The Daily Sentinel ,, The D.aily Sentinel 111 Coul1 Street • Pomeroy, Ohio (740) 992-2156 • FAX (740J 992-2157 www.mydallyaantlnel.com Ohio Valley Publishing Co. · Dan Goodrich Publisher Charlene Hoeflich General Manager-News Editor Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religio~, 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 ofgrievances. , - The First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution READER'S VIEW Ignored? Recognize retiring ffi1chets Dear Editor: Two years ago I addressed this .same situation, but those who should have corrected it have not done so. Then, in a paper this week, the same situation has reared its ugly head · again. Anyone who has served in a paid capacity for a business, including a school, deserves recognition when they leave. Two years ago, the Meigs Local School District honored the superintendent's secretary with a dinner and gift upon retiring. This week, two school board members were honored for their service - one whose service was only for four years. Yet the Meigs Local School District refuses to recognize retiring teachers in the district.· One teacher with 40 years service retired two years ago and nothing was done to honor her, let alone the rest who retire with fewer years. Secretaries and school board members are "support staff." Who do they S\lpport? Teachers. Of course, one of these recently retiring board members is known to have said there were no excellent teachers in Meigs Local. This is truly an odd: statement to make when it is tbe school board which hires them. But it may give reason to the failure to recognize teacherS' service. Another school board member has been heard to say the schools should be run like a business. When the local power plants have someone with 25 years of service, that person is honored with a gift and perhaps a dinner and again upon retirement. Many teachers pay hundreds of dollars out of their own pockets to supplement their classrooms because the boards don't supply the money to do it. Is it a lot to ask for a school board w recognize a retiring teacher with a gift and a dinner? Having a business degree and an education administrative degree, I was taught that you lake care of y our employees and show them respect.

Ashley Pomeroy PageA4 OPINION STAHlER· 111£(c.tVJIIBU5 DISPAl(H. 2C07 . •' j i. 4;~ Terry Mattingly we hear a lot about," said religion professor Robert Millet of Brigham Young University, a veteran of many inte.rfaith dialogues. Still, it's clear that this belief- called "exaltation" is something thai remains "conceivable to Mormons, while it is absolutely inconceivable to traditional Christians." But for modem Mormons, he stressed, there is little or no difference between talking· about "exaltation" and talking about salvation and "eternal life." When it comes to the very nature of God, Mormons have radically different beliefs than traditional Christians. For starters, Mormons reject Trinitarian Christianity and believe that the Father God of this world is a former man who, like Jesus, has a physical, perfected body. This Heavenly Father is married to a Heavenly Mother, creating a celestial family that is the cornerstone of Mormon teachings about farruly and etemity. Most debates about these topics begin with an 1844 sermon by Mormon prophet Joseph Smith, in which he staled: "God himself was once as we are now, and is an exalted Man, and sits enthroned in yonder heavens. That is the great secret. ... I am going to tell you how God came to be God. We have imagined and supposed that God was God from all eternity. I will refute that idea." Note that if Mormons can achieve godhood ;md create new worlds, this implies there are other gods ruling their own worlds. For the many cntlcs of Mormonism, this mystery can be captured in one word - "polytheism." "I think 'polytheism' is . used .. . to describe the multiple gods of, say, · the Greeks and the Romans," Boyd K. Packer, now acting· president of the Quorum of the twelve Apostles, told me in a 1986 interview. "We ·are talking about something entirely different, and that word conjures up ideas that are not accurate. "I suppose that technical· ly, it means 'many gods.' Technically, the word is all right. ... It carries a lot of baggage." These issues loomed overhead as Romney delivered his recent "Faith in America" address. Thus, he risked this profession : ."What do I believe about Jesus Christ? I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son Of God and the Savior of mankind. . My church 's beliefs about Christ may not all be the same as those of other faiths. Each relig;,ion has its own unique doctrines and history." Romney was in a tough spot, said Millet, who attended the speech. It was a classic "danged if you and danged if you don't" situation as the candidate affiimed his heritage while reaching out to the conservative Protestants and Catholics who are so crucial in Republican races today. It 's crucial to understand, said Millet, that Mormons are determined to retain their unique beliefs while striving to clarify the differences between the actual " doctrines of the church and what you might call a kind of Mormon folklore." . The results . will pacify few hostile outsiders, but the trend is clear. "Throughout the church," he said, "our faith is much more Christocentric more centered on the redemptive work of Jesus Christ than the . Mormonism that I knew as a boy in the 1950s. That has affected everything that we say and do."

Another terrorist attack, along the lines of 9/11 or worse, occurring neltt September or October, could send the voters scurrying back to Republican protection from foreign foes.

But this life, on this world, is just the beginning. Consider this glimpse into eternity, drawn from a funeral eulogy for President Spencer W. Kimball · in 1985. "In the Colorado Rockies, I asked President Kimball a searching question," recalled Barbara B. Smith, the I Oth general president of the church's Relief Society. '"When you create a world of your own, what will you have in it?' He looked around at those mountains for a few minutes before he answered and then he said, Til have everything just like this world because I love this world and everything in it.'" After all, added Smith: "What is our greatest potential? Is it not to achieve godhood ourselves?'' This is the question that will not die when Mormons face the leaders of traditional Christian groups to discuss that blunt question : "Are Mormons Christians?" A fussy feud over doctrinal details? Ask Mitt Romney about that. This concept of devout Mormons achieving godhood and creaiing worlds "is not an idea that would be foreign to Mormons today, but it is also not a concept Page As ·The Daily Sentinel Don't You Care? ,, Two Convenient Locations: 1/4 mile north of Pomero,..Mason .,.dge Mason, West VIrginia (304) ,773-5323 2400 Eallern Avenue Gallipolis, Ohio Phone (740) 44&-1711 Open 7 Dilys A Week! �PageA6 FAITH. :V ALUES Chris~as: A day of prayer, reconciliation, A Hunger For More and hope for conflict-ridden spots The Daily Sentinel Titne to start putting the Iights away.

But either now or later, as those decorations begin to come down and the trap•· pings and trimmings or Christmas ce lebrating are moved out of the way, it is very much hoped that we don't get carried away and also pack up for the year those immaterial things that we say we cherish during the Christmas season . Though our tinsel is tightly wound up and packed away, our hope should not be. Though our ornaments are each carefully placed within · their boxes and stored again for a year, peace should still be our aim. In spite of the unplugging of the tree lights for another year, the light of God's love should yet be shining in our hearts. And though stockings have been emptied and are neatly folded in a drawer so me place. our joy should yet remain full to overflowing. " Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ' In His great mercy He has given us new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, and into an inheritance that can never perish, ·spoil or fade - kept in heaven for you, who through faith are shielded by God's power until the coming of the salvation that is ready to be revealed in the last time.

It does not matter that nativity scenes are plucked from our yards; their central figure should yet remain in the center of our own lives - Jesus should still be the One about Whom we gather to worship. bringing gifts as we come. Nor should we consider Him Something that can be packed away, but Someone Who perpetually deserves our love and devotion. · Friday, December 28, Pastor Thom Mollohan Having said that , we now come to the time of the year whe re the ''rubber hits the road" (or should I say, "the reindeer hits the' roof').

Permit me to ri sk an observation that I absolutelv believe is true but may well give a bit of postYuletide indigestion: mil lion s . of people are "C hristians" during Christmas who have no interest in God at other times of the year. Many of us treat Christmas like so me treat St. Patrick;s Day. How often have you seen the cliche, "Everybody's Irish on 'St. Patrick's Day." I am not concerned aboul the latter but enjoy the fun that people find in their suddenly being "Irish" and having to wear green for a day. I am extremely concerned, however, by the thought that there are folks whose faith is tied up only in the days associated . with the Christmas season. I would rather you find the holiday · utterly frustrating and meamrigJess than to find in it shallow satisfaction and false fulfillment. What am I · saying? I'm saying that Christmas is about our being called from sin and death back into the loving arms of a loving God Who condescended to become completely human, sharing in . our weakness, feeling our hurts and sorrows, yet pointing us to the Father, sacrilicing His Own life, and rising from the dead- that through faith in Him, we might have eternal life.

Christian pilgrims in Bet)Jiehemfilled the ancient Church of the Nativity, waiting in line to see the grotto that marks the traditional birthplace of Jesus. The large numbe rs and the cacophony of Janguages was evidence that more visitors . were there this year than in the past several years. The outbreak of the Palestinian uprising against Israel in late 2000 and the fighting that followed had clouded Christmas celebralions in Bethlehem for years, battering the touri sm industry that is the city's lifeline. Kiel Tilley, 23, a science teacher from Charlevoix , Mich., said the relaunch of Israeli-Palestinian peace talks at a U.S.-sponsored conference last month reassured him before his trip to Bethlehem. "The peace process made me feel safer." The experience, he said, was "very powerful and meaningful to me .... It's very moving to visit a place whtch I always read about in the Bible." In Afghanistan, British in soldiers stationed Helmand province found a little joy far from home at a meal where they wore red Santa hats and opened gift boxes. And U.S. service members went to early Christmas Mass at a base in Kabul. Britain's Queen Elizabeth 11 spoke to the nations of the Commonwealth in a televised Christmas message, urging people to think of the needs of the vulnerable and disadvantaged living on the edge of society. During a s.e rvice at Canterbury Cathedral, the Archbishop of Canterbury Rowan Williams, the spiritual leader of the 77 million-member Anglican Communion. urged his !lock to protect the environment saying that "human greed" threatened to distort the Earth 's fragile balance. In Belgium, where a terrorism alert on Friday led to a security clampdown, police kept up a visible presence in downtown Brussels and in busy shopping malls on Christmas Eve. Friday, December 28, 2007 2007 Belgium's king. Albert II, urged recon c iliation between Fre nchand Dutch- speakers after a sixmonth political crisis led to fears the country co uld split up. Austrian President Heinz Fischer expressed concerh about the division of wealth in society and the hardships people face because of illness. disability and Linemployment. .

Others enjoyed the holiday by heading to one of the U.S. Caribbean ierritory 's palm-fringed beaches for a sun-soaked Christmas picnic. President Bu sh planned a Christmas Day lunch with his family at' the presidential retreat in the mountains northwest of Washington. In Paraguay, those who rose early Tues<:lay to watch the pope's televised Christmas Day me ssage, heard him include in his remarks for the first time a few words in the indigenous Guarani language . Guar~ni and Spanish are officiallanguages in Paraguay. Benedict's predecessQr, ' John Paul II, addressed Paraguayans in Guarani during a 1988 visit. In the Philippines, a largely Roman Catholic nation of 89 million, weeks of yuletide preparations culminated on Christmas Eve with Mass before midnight . followed by a sumptuous dinner called " noche buena," that was capped with an exchange of gifts. Christmas celebrations often are occasions for ramily reunions, and tens of thousands of Filipinos who work overseas booked flights to return home to be with their loved ones. On Christmas Day, many families vi sited relatives, and in the capital, Manila, Filipinos llocked to Rizal Park for picnics.

Off come the decorations. Down co me the stockings with which we aJorn our firepla ces. And away with the trees that have stood in our homes during the Christmas season. Now begins the arduous process of undoing Chri stmas holiday decorating (unless. of course. one's habit is to keep the decor.i) ti ons up f· u_ntil Jan . 6, the Epiphany - also known as the 12th Day of t hri stmas). But either now or later, as those decorations begin to come down and the trap•· pings and trimmings or Christmas ce lebrating are moved out of the way, it is very much hoped that we don't get carried away and also pack up for the year those immaterial things that we say we cherish during the Christmas season . Though our tinsel is tightly wound up and packed away, our hope should not be. Though our ornaments are each carefully placed within · their boxes and stored again for a year, peace should still be our aim. In spite of the unplugging of the tree lights for another year, the light of God's love should yet be shining in our hearts. And though stockings have been emptied and are neatly folded in a drawer so me place. our joy should yet remain full to overflowing. " Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ' In His great mercy He has given us new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, and into an inheritance that can never perish, ·spoil or fade - kept in heaven for you, who through faith are shielded by God's power until the coming of the salvation that is ready to be revealed in the last time. In this you greatly rejoice, though now for a little while you may have had tp suffer· grief in all kinds of trials" (I Peter I :3-6 NIV). It does not matter that nativity scenes are plucked from our yards; their central figure should yet remain in the center of our own lives - Jesus should still be the One about Whom we gather to worship. bringing gifts as we come. Nor should we consider Him Something that can be packed away, but Someone Who perpetually deserves our love and devotion. · Friday, December 28, Pastor Thom Mollohan Having said that , we now come to the time of the year whe re the ''rubber hits the road" (or should I say, "the reindeer hits the' roof').

Permit me to ri sk an observation that I absolutelv believe is true but may well give a bit of postYuletide indigestion: mil lion s . of people are "C hristians" during Christmas who have no interest in God at other times of the year. Many of us treat Christmas like so me treat St. Patrick;s Day. How often have you seen the cliche, "Everybody's Irish on 'St. Patrick's Day." I am not concerned aboul the latter but enjoy the fun that people find in their suddenly being "Irish" and having to wear green for a day. I am extremely concerned, however, by the thought that there are folks whose faith is tied up only in the days associated . with the Christmas season. I would rather you find the holiday · utterly frustrating and meamrigJess than to find in it shallow satisfaction and false fulfillment. What am I · saying? I'm saying that Christmas is about our being called from sin and death back into the loving arms of a loving God Who condescended to become completely human, sharing in . our weakness, feeling our hurts and sorrows, yet pointing us to the Father, sacrilicing His Own life, and rising from the dead- that through faith in Him, we might have eternal life.

Christian pilgrims in Bet)Jiehemfilled the ancient Church of the Nativity, waiting in line to see the grotto that marks the traditional birthplace of Jesus. The large numbe rs and the cacophony of Janguages was evidence that more visitors . were there this year than in the past several years. The outbreak of the Palestinian uprising against Israel in late 2000 and the fighting that followed had clouded Christmas celebralions in Bethlehem for years, battering the touri sm industry that is the city's lifeline. Kiel Tilley, 23, a science teacher from Charlevoix , Mich., said the relaunch of Israeli-Palestinian peace talks at a U.S.-sponsored conference last month reassured him before his trip to Bethlehem. "The peace process made me feel safer." The experience, he said, was "very powerful and meaningful to me .... It's very moving to visit a place whtch I always read about in the Bible." In Afghanistan, British in soldiers stationed Helmand province found a little joy far from home at a meal where they wore red Santa hats and opened gift boxes. And U.S. service members went to early Christmas Mass at a base in Kabul. Britain's Queen Elizabeth 11 spoke to the nations of the Commonwealth in a televised Christmas message, urging people to think of the needs of the vulnerable and disadvantaged living on the edge of society. During a s.e rvice at Canterbury Cathedral, the Archbishop of Canterbury Rowan Williams, the spiritual leader of the 77 million-member Anglican Communion. urged his !lock to protect the environment saying that "human greed" threatened to distort the Earth 's fragile balance.

In Puerto Ri co's colonial di strict of Old San Juan , locals sang and rattled maracas along cobblestone streets , celebrating a Puerto Rican-sty le caroljng known as the "parranda.',' People hosted revelers with holiday cookies and coquito, a. sweet seasonal drink made from rum and coconut. Others enjoyed the holiday by heading to one of the U.S. Caribbean ierritory 's palm-fringed beaches for a sun-soaked Christmas picnic. President Bu sh planned a Christmas Day lunch with his family at' the presidential retreat in the mountains northwest of Washington. In Paraguay, those who rose early Tues<:lay to watch the pope's televised Christmas Day me ssage, heard him include in his remarks for the first time a few words in the indigenous Guarani language . Guar~ni and Spanish are officiallanguages in Paraguay. Benedict's predecessQr, ' John Paul II, addressed Paraguayans in Guarani during a 1988 visit. In the Philippines, a largely Roman Catholic nation of 89 million, weeks of yuletide preparations culminated on Christmas Eve with Mass before midnight . followed by a sumptuous dinner called " noche buena," that was capped with an exchange of gifts. Christmas celebrations often are occasions for ramily reunions, and tens of thousands of Filipinos who work overseas booked flights to return home to be with their loved ones. On Christmas Day, many families vi sited relatives, and in the capital, Manila, Filipinos llocked to Rizal Park for picnics.

An anonymous act of kindness actually benefits both the giver and the receiver more than the gift of kindness that is performed with full reeognilion of who dtd il. The doer of a secret good deed witt feet that there is something purer in their moti ve ·-.t because they are not doing il 10 receive thanks or recognition, and this feeling is likely 10 railie ihe doer's lielf-esleem. fn . addition. the person who receives the anonymous gifl or act of kindness is likely lo feel thai the world is a kinder, friendlier place, with. people out there whom they don't even know doing good There are lot~o~ of ways we can do a secret good deed. For example. paying the loll for the person behind us, or buying thL: couple's ri ckets behind us in line at the mov1e theater. Other tdeas may inc lude putting mooey in expired meters, leaving some food or a gift for someorie at work.. ..,...,..., or perhaps leaving a plate of "goodies" on someone's desk who we k~ow won 't time to go out for lunch. We should be creative a~ even haVe some fun while figuring out ways to do a secret good deed. There ts really no end to the anonymous acb of kindness we can do, and il really will make us and 1he recipient feel great. : ' The generous soul will be nuule rich, and he who waters will also be watered himself.

The Department of Job and Famil y Services said people behind in su pport payments don't always deserve ·to be handcuffed· on TV. The swte also can 't sav whether the arrest s genefated ovenJue money for children. Sheriff's departments said they had safety concern's about the program . Count ies said they couldn 't always pull together the employees to administer the arrests. "When you've got a parent in front of you who says. 'I want to pay child support but I need help,' before we lock that person up. before we put them on TV. we want to give them that opportunity to do the right thing," Doug Thompson, deputy director · for the state's Office of Child Support , told The Associated Press. The arrests aren ' t going away, and many counties arrest dozens of people each day for failin g to pay child support. But Thompson said the state is working with counties to figure out new ways to get parents to make regular payments. This approach is consistent with recommendations from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services: Too often . social · service agencies intervene in a child , support case only after the parent piles up substantial debt that is unlikely to be collected , according to a 2005 strategic plan drafted by the agency 's Office of Child Support Enforcement. "Severe enforcement remedies applied when nee- essary have their place," the report said . "But thi s Strategic Plan signal s our intent to build a culture of compliance. in which pareim support their children voluntarily and reliabfy." Counties weren 't sorry to see the roundup go. Some, worried about a one-day intlux of offenders with already overcrowded jails and limited staff to handle the intake. Others didn 't participate because a local sheri ff was · already looking for the county 's most wanted, said Kim New som Bridges, executi ve director of Ohio 's association cif child support enforcement directors. For all these reasons, only 43 of' the state's 88 counties participated in last year 's event. In 2005, 39 participated. Bridges said the roundups, which began in 1997, were important when they started as a way to publicize the issue and push sheriffs' offices to arrest people behind in payments. Hamilton County led last year's roundup totals · with 84 arrests, according to the state's news release about the 2006 effort. " Yet the county didn 't even participate in the event , but mstead forwarded to the state the number of relevant arrests it happened to make that week. "Every day is roundup day," said Jeff Startzman, who oversees child support enforcement for Hamilton County Job and Family Services. The county makes almost 3,000 child support arrests a year. An·arrest is likely to force an offe11der to temporarily make a payment, but much more is needed to make those payments steady, Startzman said . One of the county 's approaches, Real Dads, links men behind in their payments with local businesses and "life coaches" who help them fi gure out how to keep a job and make regular payments. '' It' s one thing to get money out of somebody, it's another thing to get money out of someone co·nsi stently because they want to do it and because it 's a priority," Startzman said . Some counties continue to do their own versions of roundups. Clermont County conducted a month-long effort in Augu st that arrested 120 people, including a man hiding from police in an attic.

Every player on the roster played and scored for Meigs, who improved to 6-4 this season with the victory. Miller is still winless at 0-9. "We shot the ball well, and we played defense, and I think this was a good game for us," said Meigs head coach Carl Wolfe. The Lady Marauders scored the first eight points . of the game and did not allow the Lady Falcons to get on .the board until halfway through the first quarter. It was the only two points they would score until seconds before halftime. "We got off to a good start. We had most of the outlets covered and didn't miss too many assignments," stated Wolk "The defense was probably as good as ifs been all year." That defense was consistent and suffo'cating, many times keeping Miller from getting past halfcourt.

Then came two painful drives, the first leaving him with an aching wrist, the other forcing him to blink away stars from another pop in the face. There was Aothing easy or smooth about thi s game. Despite the bru1ses, foul trou~le and errant shooting , James managed 24 points, eight rebounds and seven assists, helping the Cleveland Cavaliers beat the Dallas Mavericks 88-81 on Thursday · night in a ·game almost as difficult to watch as it was to play. "I took some blows tonight," James said. "I don't come out of the game. I' m fine. I shake it off and go to the next pia{. That didn't stop me once got hit the first time from going back into the interior. It isn ' t going to stop me." Cleveland won consecutive games for the first time in a month, yet there won't be many clips from this game on the year-end highTight film. The Cavaliers sliot 36.4 percent, misfired on 14 of 16 3-point attempts and missed I0 free throws. Still, they won in Dallas, something they hadn't done since March 23,.2000, when James was a high schoql freshman. The Cavs also : avenged an 18-point loss to the Mav s in the season . opener. . "You can't overrate this · win," said center Zydrunas Ilgauskas, who had 18 points and II rebounds. "It's a good win, but we've got a long way to go." Dallas lost its second straight after winning five in a row. The Ma vs fell to 66 against the Eastern .Conference and have lost II games overall, after dropping only 15 last season. The problem s this time were much the same as the previous night in Utah. One of the biggies was that Dallas got too comfortable behind the 3-point line even though the shots weren't falling; the Mavericks were 4-of-20. Jason Terry was 1-of-6 on 3s and 3-of-12 overall. It was an improvement from an 0-for-1 0 against the Jazz, but not enough to spark a team in definite need of one. Whether it was because of the back-to-back games or just one of those nights, Dallas just didn ' t have it. Once Cleveland erased an early 16-9 deficit , the Mavericks led again. "There were stretches when we didn't have the energy we needed, but for the most part we fought hard, we just didn't make shots," Terry said. "They made plays down the stretch and we missed some wide open 3s that usually go down for us.'.' Dirk Nowitzki had 19 points and 20 rebounds, his most in a regular-season game since April 2003. He played the whole game with tape aro1,1nd his shooting wrist and thumb, which helped explain his 1-for-8 first half. Then he finished the third quarter complaining of a groin problem. Josh Howard had 19 points , IQo , while Jerry Stackhouse and Terry both scored 11. The game's weird tone was set early, with Mavs coach Avery Johnson getting a technical foul 22 seconds into the game. All he did was wave his hand in disgu'st and turn away after asking why Dallas was whistled for fouling James when James wasn't called for a foul on a similar pl ay on the other end of the court. The call wa s so strange that Mav s owner Mark Cuban thought he might have been to blame. saying, "You're going to call a tech on me ?" Then James missed two of the three foul shots : Through three quarters, the Cavs were 0-for- IP on 3-pcinters and had mi ssed I0 free throw s yet l ~d by six points. The Mavericks go t within one point early in the fourth quarter .and made it 8 1-79 with 4:43 left and James already with five fouls . Instead of making a move, they missed a bunch of 3s. Then James pretty much ended it with a thunderous dunk in the lane with I: I 0 to go. "I wanted to fini sh our the game," sa id James, who scored only 10 points last time against Dallas. " We were missing a lot. of easy shots and we wanted to be aggressive." Larry Hughes had 17 points and nine rebounds. Drew Gooden had seven points, nine.. rebounds and lots of kudos for keeping Nowitzki from taking over. "You've got to make him w.ork for his shots and he did that," coach Mike Brown said.

Then came two painful drives, the first leaving him with an aching wrist, the other forcing him to blink away stars from another pop in the face. There was Aothing easy or smooth about thi s game. Despite the bru1ses, foul trou~le and errant shooting , James managed 24 points, eight rebounds and seven assists, helping the Cleveland Cavaliers beat the Dallas Mavericks 88-81 on Thursday · night in a ·game almost as difficult to watch as it was to play. "I took some blows tonight," James said. "I don't come out of the game. I' m fine. I shake it off and go to the next pia{. That didn't stop me once got hit the first time from going back into the interior. It isn ' t going to stop me." Cleveland won consecutive games for the first time in a month, yet there won't be many clips from this game on the year-end highTight film. The Cavaliers sliot 36.4 percent, misfired on 14 of 16 3-point attempts and missed I0 free throws. Still, they won in Dallas, something they hadn't done since March 23,.2000, when James was a high schoql freshman. The Cavs also : avenged an 18-point loss to the Mav s in the season . opener. . "You can't overrate this · win," said center Zydrunas Ilgauskas, who had 18 points and II rebounds. "It's a good win, but we've got a long way to go." Dallas lost its second straight after winning five in a row. The Ma vs fell to 66 against the Eastern .Conference and have lost II games overall, after dropping only 15 last season. The problem s this time were much the same as the previous night in Utah. One of the biggies was that Dallas got too comfortable behind the 3-point line even though the shots weren't falling; the Mavericks were 4-of-20. Jason Terry was 1-of-6 on 3s and 3-of-12 overall. It was an improvement from an 0-for-1 0 against the Jazz, but not enough to spark a team in definite need of one. Whether it was because of the back-to-back games or just one of those nights, Dallas just didn ' t have it. Once Cleveland erased an early 16-9 deficit , the Mavericks led again. "There were stretches when we didn't have the energy we needed, but for the most part we fought hard, we just didn't make shots," Terry said. "They made plays down the stretch and we missed some wide open 3s that usually go down for us.'.' Dirk Nowitzki had 19 points and 20 rebounds, his most in a regular-season game since April 2003. He played the whole game with tape aro1,1nd his shooting wrist and thumb, which helped explain his 1-for-8 first half. Then he finished the third quarter complaining of a groin problem. Josh Howard had 19 points , IQo , while Jerry Stackhouse and Terry both scored 11. The game's weird tone was set early, with Mavs coach Avery Johnson getting a technical foul 22 seconds into the game. All he did was wave his hand in disgu'st and turn away after asking why Dallas was whistled for fouling James when James wasn't called for a foul on a similar pl ay on the other end of the court. The call wa s so strange that Mav s owner Mark Cuban thought he might have been to blame. saying, "You're going to call a tech on me ?" Then James missed two of the three foul shots : Through three quarters, the Cavs were 0-for- IP on 3-pcinters and had mi ssed I0 free throw s yet l ~d by six points. The Mavericks go t within one point early in the fourth quarter .and made it 8 1-79 with 4:43 left and James already with five fouls . Instead of making a move, they missed a bunch of 3s. Then James pretty much ended it with a thunderous dunk in the lane with I: I 0 to go. "I wanted to fini sh our the game," sa id James, who scored only 10 points last time against Dallas. " We were missing a lot. of easy shots and we wanted to be aggressive." Larry Hughes had 17 points and nine rebounds. Drew Gooden had seven points, nine.. rebounds and lots of kudos for keeping Nowitzki from taking over. "You've got to make him w.ork for his shots and he did that," coach Mike Brown said.

The Buckeyes and Tigers will receive a Nintendo Wii video-game system in addi tion to several other gifts for participating in the game on Jan. 7 in New Orleans. Most stores have sold out of the Wii, a game which allows people in their living rooms to participate in video sporting events.

"It was not easy," said Mark Neville, a spokesman for the Holiday Bowl in San Diego that also is giving the Wii. The Alamo Bowl in San Antonio is the other bowl with the Wii in its gift package. Along with the videogame console, each of the Ohio State Buckeyes and LSU Tigers will get four Wii games, a baseball cap, a watch and a fleece pullover. According to NCAA guidelines dealing with amateurism, a bowl can spend up to $500 per team member.. Each school can also give merchandise worth up to $350 per player.
