The topic of having a “unified voice with Council” came up for discussion because of a proposed ordinance which included increasing parking ticket fees from the current $3 to $5. Bobbi Karr, owner of Hartwell House, met with Council Monday night and objected to the increase on the basis that it would adversely affect business in downtown Pomeroy. Council then reconsidered the content of the ordinance which contained other features and decided informally to delete the parking ticket increase provision and then reconsider a revised ordinance. Other features of that ordinance pertains to increases in court costs and holding cell fees, along with a restructuring of costs for speeding. The revised ordinance is expected to be presented at the Jan. 23 meeting. Dan Short, Association president, and merchant representatives will be present at the Jan. 23 meeting to further discuss the parking ticket issue and how it is affecting business, as well as to request that no tickets be issued when merchants are holding special events, like an open house. A list of specific dates to request free parking will be presented to Council. As stressed at the merchants meeting, it is imperative that shoppers be encouraged to come to Meigs County to shop and that they not be discouraged from coming here by a bad experience. Members were reminded that the annual membership drive is under- way. The membership fee is $75 and checks are to be mailed by March 1 to the Pomeroy Merchants Association, P.O. Box 549, Pomeroy, Ohio 45769. The president called for a budget committee to plan expenditures for the year. Programs and projects for the year were also discussed along with possible changes to better promote the objectives of the organization. Reports on various projects were given. The tremendous job of decorating the village for Christmas and the expense of doing it was discussed by George Wright, chairman, who advised that others, like village workers, are needed to assist. The Merchants Association uses membership fees and funds raised during the year to purchase new lights or other decorations as needed. The candy, cookie and crafts contests which have been held every December for several years will undergo some changes this year to encourage more participation. The contests are hosted by Farmers, Ohio Valley, and Peoples Bank with cash prizes being awarded. The new project of a children’s shopping day with participation from the merchants who arranged tables of suitable gift items under $10 for parents and friends, followed by stories from Santa and refreshments in the mini-park was very successful. Brian Howard planned the event. It was also reported that the Christmas bulb in red gloss featuring a white etching of the Meigs County Courthouse produced in 2010 is being sold at a closeout price of $8. Bulbs can be purchased at Farmers, Ohio Valley and Peoples Banks, at several downtown businesses, and at the Meigs County Chamber of Commerce office.

Council asked that the village check on renting or borrowing the needed safety equipment before working in dangerous situations. Barr addressed the council, thanking them for the opportunity to serve as the new Village Solicitor. Barr distributed copies of Open Meeting and Public Record laws to the mayor and council, stating that those are the top two issues municipalities face.

The visiting Big Blacks (6-3, 3-3 Cardinal) strolled out to a small 13-12 edge after eight minutes of play, but the Huskies (7-2, 2-2) countered with an opportunistic 26-20 run over the next periods to take a 3833 lead into the finale. That small surge was big for the hosts, as Point’s leading scorer — Wade Martin — was saddled with foul trouble through the middle frames, causing the 6-foot-4 guard to go scoreless during that span. Martin scored seven points in the opening stanza and finished the night with a team-best 11 points. Herbert Hoover, which led 27-24 at the intermission, closed regulation with a small 10-8 spurt — allowing the hosts to pick up their seventh straight triumph. HHHS is currently ranked ninth in the Class AA poll, one spot ahead of the No. 10 Big Blacks. Jacob Wamsley followed Martin with 11 points, while Jacob Wamsley added a double-double effort of 10 points and 13 rebounds. Dillon McCarty and Anthony Perry respectively chipped in eight and seven points, while Andrew Williamson and Alex Somerville rounded things out with three and two markers.

Wildcats rally past Van, 58-49 Bryan Walters bwalters@mydailytribune.com VAN, W.Va. — An 18-7 fourth quarter surge allowed the Hannan boys basketball team to claim its second straight victory Tuesday night following a 58-49 decision over host Van in a non-conference matchup in Boone County. The visiting Wildcats (2-7) stayed within a possession of the Bulldogs through three quarters of play, as Van led 25-24 at halftime and 42-40 through three quarters of play. Both teams were tied at 15 after eight minutes of play, and each squad also connected on eight trifectas in the shootout. Down the stretch, however, it was Hannan that came up with the big plays — which allowed the guests to claim their first road win of the 2011-12 campaign. The trio of Ty Page, Brad Fannin and Tyler Jenkins led the Wildcats with 12 points apiece, followed by Jacob Taylor and Paul Holley with nine and eight markers, respectively. Brandon Holley and Stephen Burns rounded out the respective scoring with two points and one point. HHS was 16-of-34 at the charity stripe for 47 percent. Brandon Elswick paced Van with a game-high 17 points, followed by Matt White with 14 points and Matt Goff with 10 markers.

Visiting Belpre sank 9-of-13 three-point attempts — including a perfect 6-of-6 effort in the opening quarter — Tuesday night en route to a 73-60 victory over Wahama in a Tri-Valley Conference Hocking Division matchup in Mason County. The Golden Eagles (6-3, 5-1 TVC Hocking) stormed out to a 26-17 lead after eight minutes of play and never looked back, as the host White Falcons (3-7, 2-4) were outscored 31-22 over the next two frames for a 57-39 deficit headed into the finale. WHS — which trailed 42-29 at halftime — closed regulation with a 21-16 run, but never came within three possessions the rest of the way during the 13-point setback. The hosts connected on 25-of60 field goal attempts for 42 percent, including a 2-of-12 effort from three-point range for 17 percent. Wahama outrebounded BHS 28-25 and also committed 11 turnovers, three less than the Eagles’ tally of 14 miscues. Isaac Lee led WHS with 18 points, followed by Hunter Oliver with 14 points and Wyatt Zuspan with 12 markers. Austin Jordan and Tyler Roush respectively added eight and five points, while Jacob Ortiz and D.J. Gibbs rounded out the scoring with two points and one point. Wahama was also 8-of-16 at the free throw line for 50 percent. Jake Ullman paced Belpre with a game-high 29 points, followed by Ryan Leasure with 11 points and Drew Nestor with 10 mark- ers. BHS was 27-of-51 from the field overall for 53 percent and also went 10-of-14 at the charity stripe for 71 percent.

Chesapeake rolls past Raiders, 75-56 Bryan Walters bwalters@mydailytribune.com BIDWELL, Ohio — The River Valley boys basketball team dropped its sixth straight decision Tuesday night following a 75-56 setback to visiting Chesapeake in an Ohio Valley Conference matchup in Gallia County. The Raiders (1-8, 0-4 OVC) shot a very respectable 50 percent from the field overall, but the Panthers (8-1, 4-0) — the No. 7 ranked team in the Division III AP poll — forced 20 RVHS turnovers and also outrebounded the hosts by a 34-22 margin in the 19-point decision. RVHS kept pace with the guests through the opening seven minutes of the game, as the hosts trailed only 15-14. CHS, however, closed the final minute of the first period with an 8-1 surge, giving the Panthers a 23-15 edge after eight minutes of play. The Raiders were never closer the rest of the way, as Chesapeake led by double digits (27-16) two minutes into the second period before closing the half with an 11-8 spurt for a 38-24 intermission advantage. The hosts pulled to within 39-28 with 5:30 left in the third stanza, but the guests closed the quarter on a 11-4 charge to take a 50-32 lead into the finale. CHS closed regulation with a 25-24 run to wrap up their wire-to-wire decision. River Valley connected on 21-of-42 field goal attempts overall, including a 1-of-4 effort from threepoint range for 25 percent. The hosts also recorded team totals of 22 rebounds, 13 steals and eight assists. Ethan Dovenbarger led the Raiders with 14 points, followed by Aaron Harrison with nine markers. Austin Lewis and Trey Noble both added eight points each, while Derek Flint chipped in seven markers. Chris Clemente and Joseph Loyd both contributed four points apiece, while Kyle Bays rounded out the scoring with two markers. RVHS was 13-of22 at the free throw line for 59 percent. Dovenbarger also added a team-best six rebounds. Austin McMaster paced CHS with a game-high 21 points, followed by Patrick Hintz with 14 points and Javon Thompson with 11 markers. Chad Meadows also chipped in 10 points for the guests, who were 13-of-20 at the charity stripe for 65 percent. Chesapeake also committed 11 turnovers in the victory.

OVP area lands four teams in state hoops polls Bryan Walters bwalters@mydailytribune.com Four basketball teams from the Ohio Valley Publishing area were recongnized as some of the best in the respective states of Ohio and West Virginia, as the Eastern girls and boys basketball squads from Point Pleasant, Southern and South Gallia were honored this week in the weekly polls released by the Associated Press. The lone West Virginia school on the state lists was Point Pleasant, as the Big Blacks (6-3) finished 10th overall in the second Class AA poll. The Big Blacks were eighth in the inaugural list after starting the season with a 5-0 mark. Bluefield (7-0) sits atop the Class AA poll with a 7-0 mark, while fellow Cardinal Conference teams Sissonville (4th), Chapmanville (5th) and Herbert Hoover (9th) are also in the top-10. The Eastern girls basketball team (9-1) had the highest finish of any of the three local Ohio programs, as the Lady Eagles placed 11th in the first Division IV girls poll. Fellow TVC Hocking member Waterford (9-1) came in eighth in the same poll, which has Ottoville (11-0) atop the D-4 rankings. Both Southern (8-1) and South Gallia (62) finished out of the top-10 in the Division IV boys poll, as the Tornadoes paced 17th overall while the Rebels came in at No. 19. It’s the third time in the last five years that Southern has been recognized in the AP poll at some point of the season. Other area teams from Ohio to be recognized in the AP poll included Warren (4th) in the D-2 boys poll and both Chesapeake (7th) and Ironton (8th) in D-3 boys, while Oak Hill came in at third in the D-3 girls poll. Unbeaten Jackson also placed 12th in the D-2 girls poll. Paul’s 43 leads Illini past Ohio State, 79-74 CHAMPAIGN, Ill. (AP) — Brandon Paul awoke from a nap Tuesday to a text from Illinois coach Bruce Weber. The message was simple: It’s your night. Weber couldn’t have known how right he was. Paul scored a career-high 43 the third best scoring performance in Illinois basketball history to lead the Illini (15-3, 4-1) past the No. 5 Buckeyes 79-74. The most important of Paul’s shots was an off-balance 3-pointer that, with 43 seconds left, gave Illinois a 74-70 lead that all but finished the Buckeyes. By then, the junior said, so many of his shots had fallen he couldn’t help but laugh to himself. “I was laughing a couple times. After the first couple three’s, I just said I was going to keep shooting,” Paul said, saying he didn’t think he’d ever scored 43, even in AAU ball. “That’s the mindset that I’ve got to have.” “Brandon Paul played like a pro tonight,” teammate Meyers Leonard added. Buckeye coach Thad Matta said Paul’s night and the Illinois win it guaranteed was among the best he’s seen anyone have against Ohio State (15-3, 3-2). “I’ve seen (former Wisconsin Badger) Jordan Taylor have one of those nights and I saw (former Purdue star) Etwuan Moore have one of those nights, and then I saw this,” Matta said. “You have to give him credit; he made plays.” Paul scored the final 15 points for the Illini. Ohio State led 39-34 at halftime, and was up 64-61 with just over five minutes to play. But with the game tied at 66 with just over two minutes to play, Joseph Bertrand swiped the ball from William Buford, putting the ball in Paul’s hands for a baseline 3-pointer that put the Illini up 69-66. Paul’s 43 points was the thirdhighest scoring performance in Illini history and he tied a school record with eight 3-pointers. He also had a team-high eight rebounds Leonard added 14 for Illinois and Bertrand and D.J. Richardson scored 10 each. Deshaun Thomas scored 23 points and Jared Sullinger added 21 for Ohio State. William Buford had 15 points for the Buckeyes and Aaron Craft added 12. Ohio State looked ready to put the Illini away early in the second half, stretching its lead to 48-37 in the opening two minutes on an efficient run that yielded nine points over four possessions. The last three points came from Thomas on a jump shot and a free throw. Weber told his team in a huddle that it was a make-or-break point in the game. They go up 10 or 11, and then we came back,” he said. Illinois ran off its own 7-0 run, pulling to with two at 48-46 on a 3-pointer by Richardson. Paul stole the ball from Sullinger, broke down the court and quickly fed his junior teammate. It was the kind of run Illinois was able to answer with all night. “We just let down,” Matta said. “We’ve got to find another gear about us.” Ohio State did pull away yet again, going up 52-46 on a short turnaround jumper by Sullinger over Leonard with 14:25 left in the game. The Illini then scored eight straight, taking the lead 55-54 with a baseline jumper by Leonard with 11:18 to play. The run’s other six points came, not sur- prisingly, from Paul on a pair of 3-pointers. The second a skyhigh bomb that dropped cleanly through the net and ignited the crowd. On Illinois’ next possession, Paul drew what the officials judged to be an intentional foul by Craft, sinking two of his three shots and giving the Illini a 5754 edge with just under 11 minutes left. Buford answered a long miss by Paul with two points on outside jumper that tied the game again at 61. Then, after a Leonard turnover, he drained a 3-pointer for a 64-61 Ohio State lead with 6:18 to play. Paul had a confounding first half, the kind Illinois fans have gotten used to. He committed four of Illinois’ 10 first-half turnovers (and finished with seven). “I had way too many turnovers,” he said. “I have to take care of the ball better.” “The way he started,” Weber joked, “he was special bad. But he was special good down the stretch.” Paul led the Illini on a 10-0 run that brought them back from a 23-15 deficit to a 25-23 lead. Most of that run came with Sullinger on the bench. Paul’s 3-pointer with 6:23 to play in the half tied the game at 23, and Sullinger quickly left the bench to come back in. Paul, though, followed his game-tying shot up less than a minute later with a bucket that gave the Illini the lead, their first since going up 2-0 less than a minute into the game. Sullinger didn’t score until almost nine minutes were gone in the first half, and was frustrated by a combination of tenacious defense from Leonard and Paul. Sullinger took the hint, moving to the perimeter where he hit two first-half 3-pointers. The second, over a desperate Leonard lunging toward the 3-point line to reach him, gave the Buckeyes a 34-29 lead with 2:19 left in the half. Even with 21 points, Weber said he was happy with defense against Sullinger, particularly from Leonard. “It’s truly a heavyweight battle with those two pounding on each other all the time,” Weber said. Ohio State president laments scandal headlines COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — The president of Ohio State University on Wednesday lamented that publicity over a football scandal overshadowed the university’s many accomplishments last year, then drew more unwelcome attention when he compared the job of coordinating several university divisions to “the Polish army.” In a speech at a downtown athletic club, Gordon Gee called the scandal’s disproportional weight “a monumental shame.” “To subordinate the ingenuity of so many to the impropriety of a few seems to me an unjust proposition,” Gee said. “In truth, a series of unfortunate events in our athletics program has masked a remarkable year at Ohio State.” The NCAA said last month that the Ohio State football team and new coach Urban Meyer will be banned from a bowl game after next season. The university also forfeited its 2010 season, including a Sugar Bowl win. The punishment followed a scandal in which players sold football memorabilia or traded them for tattoos. Gee rattled off the university’s top accomplish- ments, including a firstyear retention rate for all students of 93 percent and retention rates for black and Hispanic students exceeding national averages for both public and private institutions. A few minutes later, in a question-and-answer session, Gee referred to the problem of coordinating 18 divisions such as independent schools and colleges. “When we had these 18 colleges all kind of floating around, they were kind of like PT Boats, they were shooting each other,” Gee said. “It was kind of like the Polish army or some- thing. I have no idea what it was.” As nervous laughter arose in the audience of a couple hundred listeners at a Columbus Metropolitan Club monthly forum, Gee said, “Oh, never mind, who did I embarrass now?” A moment later he said: “I’ll have to raise money for Poland now.” Gee did not apologize afterward, and stumbled a bit in responding to questions about the propriety of the remark. “Now if you’re going to say I was saying something bad about Poland, I’m not,” he said. “I could have used some other term, I guess, then.” Gee, 67, is one of the most successful university presidents in the country and has led five major public and private institutions over the past 30 years, including two stints at Ohio State as well as the head job at Brown, Vanderbilt and the universities of Colorado and West Virginia. But he has a history of verbal gaffes, such as last March’s comment, as the Ohio State memorabilia scandal deepened, that he had not considered dismissing football coach Jim Tressel. “No, are you kidding?” Gee said at a news conference. “Let me be very clear. I’m just hoping the coach doesn’t dismiss me.” In 1992, Gee called thenGov. George Voinovich “a damn dummy” over higher education funding. Gee also raised eyebrows in the football crazy town when he called the 13-13 tie after the 1992 Ohio State-Michigan football game “one of our greatest wins ever.” Les Wexner, chairman of the Ohio Board of Trustees, was not immediately available for comment, spokeswoman Tammy Myers said.

Your intuition evolves, allowing greater understanding. You will question the correctness of your hunches. Try testing them. Use care in areas that could have difficult implications if you are wrong. If you are single, you could meet someone quite spectacular in your dayto-day travels. This bond evolves quite naturally. If you are attached, the two of you connect on a very different mental plane. Your creativity grows, and your zest for living seems to be enhanced in equal measure. VIRGO can be irritating at times. The Stars Show the Kind of Day You’ll Have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult ARIES (March 21-April 19) HHH Your dream life might be more active than you realize. Enthusiasm surrounds a money venture. Use your ability to understand another person’s point of view in order to relieve tension. You cannot, nor should you, hold back on an important decision. Use energy and precision. Tonight: Go as late as you can. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHHHH Where others have the facts, you have ingenuity. Team up together, and a project or idea can only become stronger. Someone you feel might be deceiving you probably isn’t. He or she seems secretive. This person might be as confused as you are. Tonight: Let the fun begin. Think “weekend.” GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHHH You might feel strangely about an option that appears. As a result, it might be appropriate to rethink a decision that involves your security. You could feel out of sorts. Think before you leap into action. Touch base with your long-term desires. Tonight: Taking some much-needed downtime. CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHHH You can drive a hard bargain. Others will come back with an equally strong position. The negotiation could be interesting, but in the long run, is it worth it all? A new light is shed on your interactions and those you deal with. Tonight: Hang out. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHHH Any decisions involving your assets or funds could be problematic. You could go overboard, which is simply a reflection of your generous nature. Brainstorm all you want, but reserve decisions for some other day. Tonight: Balance your checkbook before making any plans. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHHHH Your ability to melt barriers and get past an immediate issue helps clear out a problem. You don’t need to agree with those in your social or professional circle. You discover the power of creativity mixed with endurance. Tonight: As you like it. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHH Know when to kick back and say that you have had enough. Your ability to center and regroup helps you orient your thinking. It becomes apparent that you want to handle a situation in a different way. Tonight: Vanishing time. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHHHH A meeting proves to be more important than you thought. You have a lot to think about. Someone makes a new path slightly too tempting for your taste. Don’t lose focus on what you want and where you are going, even if integrating others’ ideas. Tonight: Start the weekend early. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHHH Many demands are made on you, forcing you to reorganize. Recognize that you are setting the tone for the next few days. Others will follow your lead, understanding what happens next. Pressure builds to an unprecedented level. Tonight: Listen to feedback with care. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHHH Reach out for people who seem slightly more knowledgeable and centered than you. You are seeking some clarity and would like more feedback from respected associates. What you gain through this exploration allows greater success. Some of you might consider going back to school. Tonight: Follow the music. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHHHH A partnership is far more important than you realize. This person knows how to interject new information and perspectives into your thinking. Caring proves to be deeper than you thought. Don’t respond to another person’s aggressive attitude. Tonight: With a favorite person. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHHH Sometimes a partner can be difficult and assertive. You wonder why you are at this juncture. Recognize that this crossroad comes from your thinking. You might want to pull back in order to gain an even greater perspective. Don’t react to a display of frustration or anger. Tonight: Sort through your invitations.
