The original slide caused damage to both the Meigs Museum and the Deem family home. The day before Thanksgiving, a second large landslide caused extensive damage to the Deem residence, forcing the family from their home. Since that time, the hillside has continued to slip. The mud, trees and other debris now threaten another neighboring house owner by Pat and Nancy Hill. Mrs. Hill addressed Pomeroy Council during Monday’s regular meeting. Hill stated that she had received a letter — which she read to council — from former Pomeroy Village Solicitor Chris Tenoglia advising her that there was an immediate risk to her family and home. The Hills had been advised to move from the home, something Mrs. Hill says they cannot do since they still owe on their home. She also noted that they have lived there for many years and she is a lifelong resident of the area. It was reported during the meeting that insurance is still investigating the slip. It had previously been reported by Village Administrator Paul Hellman that the claim had been denied by Kinder Insurance, which is not the case. The village had received a letter from the company stating the Hills should move, but not denying the claim. Council approved Village Solicitor Michael Barr to call the village insurance adjuster as soon as possible to see why there had not been a resolution to the claim. As reported following the January 9 meeting, the village has been approved for a $109,000 grant for the slip behind Butternut Ave- nue. The grant requires the village to pay 20 percent of the cost. The grant funds, according to discussion, would fall far short of the cost to repair the slip. There has been no new estimate on the cost to stabilize the hill, which could potentially become worse due to weather conditions. Mitch Altier, project manager for ME Companies, advised council that there is no more grant funding available to help with the project at this time. Council agreed to hold a special meeting if an update from the insurance company is received before the next council meeting. Sarah Hawley/photo Trees and mud from the hill side near Butternut Avenue continue to slip, moving closer to a second home on the street. Middleport Council hires part-time officer Renews township fire contracts By Charlene Hoeflich choeflich@mydailysentinel.com Sarah Hawley/photos Pomeroy Council agreed on Monday to apply for the Ohio Department of Natural Resources Nature Works Grant, with any funding received to benefit the Mulberry Pond. Pomeroy to apply for Nature Works Grant funding By Sarah Hawley shawley@heartlandpublications.com POMEROY — The Village of Pomeroy will be applying for the Ohio Department of Natural Resources (ODNR) Nature Works Grant. The grant funds, if awarded to Pomeroy, would be used at the Mulberry Pond. A public meeting was held on Monday evening, allowing those involved in the project and grant application to discuss the possibility of the grant. During the meeting, Mitch Altier — project manager for ME Companies — stated that there is $12,374 available for Meigs County at this time. The grant would require an 80/20 match from the village for the project, meaning if the village were to receive the total amount of available funds, the match would be $2,474.80. Altier stated that the grant is a competitive grant, so Pomeroy would be competing with all others in the county who apply. Grant funds — if awarded — would be used to make the current walkway more handicapped accessible, possibly extend the current walkway and add a pier. Steps may also be added depending on funds. Jim Smith, who has devoted a great deal of time to the projects which have been completed at the pond to date, said that the goal will be to make the pond handicap accessible. Events such as seniors’ day and a children’s fishing derby were held at the pond last year. During the council meeting that followed, members of the village council unanimously approved a resolution A newly placed sign near the pond reminds visitors not to allowing for the Village to apply for the grant. skate on the pond. For safety reasons, visitors are asked to keep off the ice that may be on the pond. The deadline to apply for the grant is this Friday. Cotton sentenced in common pleas court By Amber Gillenwater mdtnews@mydailytribune.com GALLIPOLIS — A Columbus woman who pleaded guilty to three counts of attempted aggravated vehicular assault and one count of operating a vehicle under the influence, was sentenced in the Gallia County Court of Common Pleas on Friday. Lori A. Cotton, 37, was sentenced to five years of community control and was ordered to report to jail on January 31, 2012, to serve a total of 45 days in the work release center. She must also pay restitution to Andrew Schrock in the amount of $413,018.63. Cotton was arrested after her vehicle traveled left-ofcenter and struck an Amish horse-drawn carriage late in the evening of May 29, 2011. The crash occurred on Ohio 160 near Ewington in Huntington Township and all four occupants of the carriage, as well as Cotton and her six-year-old passenger were transported to medical facilities for injuries sustained during the crash. Following the accident, Cotton was indicted and pleaded not guilty to three counts of aggravated vehicular assault and one count of assaulting a peace officer. After negotiating a plea agreement, Cotton pleaded guilty on October 28, 2011, to one count of aggravated vehicular assault and an amended charge of operating a vehicle under the influence. Cotton was originally scheduled to be sentenced in the common pleas court on November 8; however, on the date of sentencing, both the state and the defendant’s counsel requested a continuance of the hearing. Cotton later requested, and the court granted, a withdrawal of her original plea as the defendant was not ad- vised, prior to entering her guilty plea, that a guilty plea to aggravated vehicular assault would result in a mandatory prison term. A memorandum filed by Cotton’s attorney, Jeffery L. Finley on November 15 states, “At the time of entering her guilty plea, the Defendant was advised of the maximum potential penalties for each charge. However, pursuant to R.C. 2903.08(D)(1), a guilty plea to 2903.08(A) (1)(a) [aggravated vehicular assault as the proximate result of operating a vehicle while under the influence] See COTTON |‌ 3 MIDDLEPORT — A new part-time police officer was hired, and two contracts for township fire protection were signed at the Monday night meeting of Middleport Village Council. Ricky Smith, who has worked for the village as a police officer as well as in the office of the Meigs County Sheriff, was employed on the recommendation of Chief of Police Bruce Swift who described him as well qualified and experienced. Swift said that putting on a part-time officer means that overtime pay to full time officers can be partially or entirely eliminated. Contracts between the village for the Middleport Fire Department to provide fire protection to Cheshire and Salisbury Townships, which have long been in existence, were renewed for another year at the current rate. The contract with Cheshire Township is for $10,500 for the year while the contract to cover a portion of Salisbury Township is $1,100. A contract with Securro for prisoner telephone service at the new jail was tabled following a review on the service recommended and the benefit to the village. It was explained by Mayor Mike Gerlach that there would be no charge for installing the service and that the village would receive 10 percent on the cost of calls made by the prisoners who pay Securro for using the phones. Cell phones are not permitted in jail cells, it was noted. The tentative date for completion on the jail/village hall complex has been moved up to the third week in February because of the delay in getting the security doors to the jail cells from the manufacturer. Mike Barr of the Little, Sheets and Barr law firm in Pomeroy, was present at the meeting as the new village solicitor to talk about the scope of his duties and his responsibilities to Council and village officials. Former Council Member Jean Craig spoke briefly about what she termed “mudslinging and unfounded complaints” about the operation of the village pertaining to everything from the water rates to the leadership. She called for residents to appreciate the improvements and quit faulting the leadership. The progression on the sewer project was noted by Council President Rae Moore. She reminded the dozen or so spectators that the $7 million sewer project is not costing citizens “a dime.” Funding for the project is coming through grants and forgiven loans. Warner resigns from school board after arrest Beth Sergent bsergent@heartlandpublications.com POINT PLEASANT — Mason County Board of Education Member Teresa Warner, 52, Point Pleasant, has resigned from her elected position after being arrested for DUI and left of center. Both the resignation and arrest happened on Tuesday. According to a spokesperson with the Mason County Sheriff’s Department, Warner was observed going left of center multiple times on W.Va. 2 shortly before midnight on Monday. Warner was pulled over by Deputy Gilley of the Mason County Sheriff’s Department on Poplar Heights Road where Warner resides just outside the City of Point Pleasant. The spokesperson said Warner failed three standard field sobriety tests and that her blood alcohol level was .180. The legal limit is .08. Warner was then transported to the Western Regional Jail and was later released on Tuesday after posting a $1,000 bond. On Tuesday afternoon, Warner turned in her formal, written resignation to Mason County Schools Superintendent Suzanne Dickens and to her fellow school board members. Also on Tuesday afternoon, Warner released an exclusive statement concerning her resignation to the Point Pleasant Register. “I regretfully tender my resignation from the Mason County Board of Education. Recent legal entanglements have arisen, and unfortunately, they are of such a nature as to attract unfavorable attention to the Mason County School System and my roll on the Board. I plan on addressing those legal issues in the appropriate See WARNER ‌| 3 �Wednesday, January 25, 2012 The Daily Sentinel • Page 2 www.mydailysentinel.com Honors announced by Meigs Local schools POMEROY — Honor rolls for Meigs Middle School, Meigs High School and Meigs Elementary School for the second nine-weeks grading period of the Meigs Local School District has been announced by Superintendent Rusty Bookman.

Member SIPC. Cotton From Page 1 requires a mandatory prison term. The Defendant was not advised of said mandatory prison term. Moreover, the parties when negotiating the Defendant’s plea agreement did not account for the mandatory prison term. As a result, there was no meeting of the minds with respect to the plea agreement. Therefore, the Defendant did not know- ingly and intelligently enter said plea.” A second plea agreement was filed with the court on December 12 and, on December 28, Cotton re-entered a guilty plea to three counts of attempted aggravated vehicular assault, a lesser offense than aggravated vehicular assault, and a fourth degree felony, as well as one count of operating a vehicle under the influence, a first degree misdemeanor. During sentencing on January 20, Cotton was also ordered to pay a fine in the amount of $375 and ordered to serve three days in jail in relation to her operating a vehicle under the influence charge.

She was indicted for bribery of a public official by a Mason County grand jury earlier this month. Warner has previously called the charges in the GED case political and a “personal vendetta.” Warner was reelected to her seat on the Mason County Board of Education in 2010. It remains unclear who will fill her seat. Warner said she would not be at Tuesday’s regularly scheduled meeting of the Mason County Board of Education. There are already two seats up for reelection on the Mason County Board of Education, these seats are currently held by Incumbents Tom Nunnery and Michael Cottrill. Nunnery has said he will not seek reelection. Warner From Page 1 manner, but I do recognize that the publicity does impede my effectiveness as a Board member.

Hayman Gymnasium. The Tornadoes (10-1) have won at least 12 games and a sectional title in each of the previous four years under current coach Jeff Caldwell, who is now in the middle of his fifth campaign at SHS. Southern, which currently owns a share of the TVC Hocking lead, also snapped the Rockets’ (6-3) five-game winning streak with the triumph. The hosts limited WHS to just five field goals in the first half, which allowed Southern to storm out to a 30-18 intermission advantage. SHS led 10-8 after eight minutes of play, then used a 20-10 surge in the second canto to establish its 12-point lead at the half. Wellston never recovered from that early slow start, but the guests rebounded nicely in the third stanza with a small 15-14 spurt to pull within 4433 headed into the finale. The Tornadoes, however, sank 14-of-18 free throws down the stretch, allowing the hosts to close regulation on a 23-19 run for the 15-point decision. Southern connected on 16-of-43 field goal attempts for 37 percent, including a 2-of-7 effort from threepoint range for 29 percent. SHS also claimed team totals of 38 rebounds, five assists and three steals to go along with 16 turnovers. Ethan Martin led the hosts with a game-high 19 points, followed by Andrew Roseberry with 16 points and Nathan Roberts with 12 markers. Roberts also had a double-double with a team-best 12 rebounds, followed by Roseberry with eight caroms. Ryan Taylor was next with nine points, while Marcus Hill and Chandler Drummer respectively added four and three points. Adam Pape chipped in two points to the winning cause, while Andrew Ginther and Trenton Deem rounded things out with one marker each. SHS was 33-of-42 overall at the free throw line for 79 percent. Blake Warrington paced WHS with 14 points, followed by Dakota Brown with eight markers. Justus Ousley and Austin Craig both added seven points apiece, while Wellston leading scorer Nigel Courts was limited to just six markers after going without field goal for three periods. The Rockets were 10-of-22 at the charity stripe for 45 percent.

That’s just the way it goes sometimes. That’s the way it went Friday and Saturday for the Hannan boys basketball team following a pair of non-league contests against Van and Phelps (Ky.). The Wildcats (3-10) started the weekend on a good note, as the hosts notched a season sweep of Van during a 69-47 decision in Mason County. HHS, however, ran into trouble the next day during a 54-41 setback to Phelps at the Hatfield-McCoy Shootout at Williamson. Hannan stormed out to a 23-8 advantage after eight minutes Friday and never looked back, although the Bulldogs (0-10) retaliated with a 21-13 run in the second canto to pull within 3629 at the half. The Wildcats used a small 13-10 spurt in the third period to claim a 49-39 edge, then closed regulation with a 20-8 charge to wrap up the 22-point decision. Hannan — which defeated Van at HHS back on Jan. 10 by a 58-49 margin — had four players reach double figures, led by Brad Fannin with a game-high 21 points. Ty Page was next with 14 points, followed by Kade McCoy with 12 points and Paul Holley with 10 markers. Matt Randolph contributed four points, while Jacob Brumfield, Dakota Fannin, Charles Mayes and Tyler Burns rounded out the scoring with two markers apiece. The hosts were 2-of-5 at the free throw line for 40 percent. Brandon Elswick paced Van with 18 points, followed by Matt White with 15 markers. VHS was 5-of-9 at the charity stripe for 56 percent. Hannan suffered an opposite fate Saturday, as the Wildcats fell behind 20-7 after one period of play and never caught up during a 13-point loss to Phelps.

For the Lady Rebels this is their seventh straight victory. The Lady Eagles who started out only dropping one of their first 10 contest have now lost three straight. Eastern started the game off with a three-minute 10-2 run led by Jenna Burdette, who had six points in the period. Not to be outdone, South Gallia’s Chandra Canaday also scored six of her team’s 10 points in the quarter. EHS was ahead going into the second quarter, 14-10. SGHS fought back in the second period using it’s press defense to force turnovers, ad at the 3:10 mark was able to take it’s first lead of the game, 22-21.

Eastern kept pace with the Red and Gold in the quarter both teams scoring 15 points. SGHS was led in the quarter by Meghan Caldwell with six. EHS started the fourth quarter down two and would try to use its defense to take the lead. Eastern would hold the lead for six minutes in the final period until Caldwell hit a field goal with 17 seconds left to give SGHS a one-point lead, 52-51. Eastern had a chance to tie and take the lead when they missed the front end of a one and bonus. South Gallia avenged its previous loss to the Lady Eagles this season when Eastern beat them 81-36.

The Lady Falcons (6-9, 3-8 TVC Hocking) never led in the contest, but the guests managed to rally back from an 11-point third quarter deficit to pull even at 57-all with the Lady Tomcats (3-13, 3-9) at the 3:08 mark of the final stanza. WHS senior Ashley Templeton fouled out shortly thereafter, creating a big void in the middle of the Wahama defense — which THS exploited in the waning moments of regulation. The hosts ended the contest by doubling up points at the free throw line, allowing the Lady Tomcats to claim the four-point decision. Trimble, with the victory, also salvaged a season split with Wahama, as the Lady Falcons claimed a 55-50 triumph in the first meeting at WHS back on Dec. 12. The Lady Tomcats have now won three of their last four games after starting the year 0-12, while the Lady Falcons have now dropped seven of their last nine outings. The hosts took a slim 13-11 lead after eight minutes of play, then followed with a 23-20 spurt in the second canto for a 3631 intermission advantage. THS kept that momentum going into the third period with a 15-13 run for 51-44 lead headed into the finale. WHS opened the fourth with a 13-6 surge to pull even at 57-all, but never came closer the rest of the way. Trimble answered with five straight points for a 62-57 cushion before Wahama closed the final 90 seconds with a small 4-3 run. The Lady Tomcats claimed a 42-35 rebounding edge and also committed 26 turnovers in the triumph, two more miscues than the Lady Falcons’ tally of 24. Wahama connected on 25-of-59 field goal attempts for 42 percent, including a 1-of-7 effort from three-point range for 14 percent. Conversely, the hosts made 24-of61 shot attempts for 39 percent — including a 1-for-8 effort from behind the arc for 13 percent. Sierra Carmichael led Wahama with 14 points, followed by Karista Ferguson with 13 markers. Kelsey Zuspan, Mackenzie Gabritsch and Templeton all added 11 points each, while Bunni Peters rounded out the scoring with one marker. The guests were 10-of-26 at the free throw line for 38 percent. Erica Swart paced the hosts with 14 points, followed Janena Cain with 11 points and Demi Moore with 10 points. Moore also hauled in a game-high 10 re- bounds to record a double-double.

The Daily Sentinel • Page 5 www.mydailysentinel.com Coughlin has special feeling for this Giants team EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) — The New York Giants’ are Tom Coughlin’s team. The Maras and Tischs own the NFC champions. General manager Jerry Reese built them and made them Super Bowl ready. This team though is all Coughlin. The expression the players have used in their recent five-game run to the title game is “all in,” and it’s all in Tom’s way. They have bought in 100 percent with their 65-year-old coach, and he is enjoying every second of it. When the Giants (127) ended the Patriots’ 20-game regular-season winning streak at home in November, Coughlin was hoisted in the air by his players. He loved it. When they went through a four-game losing streak right after that, he kept them together. And when they won Sunday, they hugged. Speaking on a conference call Monday, Coughlin said he has a special feeling and a special vibe for this team, which has overcome injuries and adversity to reach the Super Bowl. “I talk about an atmosphere that has been created, the cooperation between the players and the coaches and the harmony that is a great feeling that exits,” Coughlin said. “It has been that type of feeling that has sustained us over the course of the year, but even more; that has seen people grow closer together.” Coughlin senses a true bond among the players, one that has them all working for a common goal. “On Saturday night they were locked in as well as any team that I have ever been associated with,” David Pokress photo/Newsday/MCT New York Giants’ quarterback and game MVP Eli Manning celebrates a 17-14 Giants’ victory in Super Bowl XLII at University of Phoenix Stadium in Glendale, Arizona, on Sunday, February 3, 2008. said the coach who led the Giants to a Super Bowl win over the Patriots in 2008, “You could hear a pin drop in the meeting rooms when I visited. It started out with special teams, then offense and defense. I walked around and I listened to the meetings. You could really feel and sense the focus and concentration. Those are things I appreciate.” Looking toward the Patriots, Coughlin said the Giants last game with New England seems like it too place a long time ago. He also noted Tom Brady and company are riding a 10-game winning streak. “They are an outstanding football team,” Coughlin said. “Without question to be able to play at home and beat a Ravens team that was playing so well and so physical and so on, they are playing very, very well.” Defensive end Justin Tuck said the Giants came into the playoffs playing their best football, much like the Packers a year ago. “We were a team, I felt, going into the playoffs, that no one wanted to play,” Tuck said in an interview with WFAN. “We wanted to play the 49ers. We wanted to play Green Bay. We wanted the competition. That’s who we are. That’s how we’re built.” Coughlin says his team knows what it wants. “I understand young people and all that goes with that, but these guys have been able to really create a very strong business-like approach to what they’re doing,” Coughlin said. “Whether you use the word fellowship or whatever word you want to use, there’s a strong, strong feeling among this group. It’s been a great source of pride for all of us as coaches.” The team arrived back in New Jersey early Monday after a loud and happy flight during which Coughlin said the players exchanged high-fives, shook hands and shared a look into each other eyes. The Giants will practice Thursday, Friday and Saturday and head to Indianapolis Monday for a second Super Bowl in four years. “For us, you relish it, because I’m four years older now,” Tuck said. “And when you first get there, you think you’re going to go every year. Now, you realize nothing’s promised to you. And it’s tough to get back. So, this is a special opportunity.” Manning, NY Giants heading to Indy to face Pats again Dennis Waszak Jr. Associated Press Hey, Indianapolis. A Manning will be playing in your Super Bowl, after all. No, not that one. It’ll be Eli Manning leading the New York Giants to a Super Bowl rematch against the New England Patriots and this time on older brother Peyton’s home field. “It doesn’t matter to me where you’re playing it or the fact that it’s in Indianapolis,” Eli Manning said. “I’m just excited about being in one.” And if the Giants can pull this one off, Eli will have sibling bragging rights with one more Super Bowl ring than Peyton, who missed this season for the Colts after having neck surgery. It sure won’t be easy for the Giants, though. Four years after New York stunned previously undefeated New England in the Arizona desert, they’ll play a Super sequel. Eli vs. Brady. Coughlin vs. Belichick. The Giants vs. the Patriots. Sound familiar? Here we go again. “It’s awesome and we look forward to the challenge,” Giants defensive end Osi Umenyiora said. “They are a great football team. They have always been a great football team. We are looking forward to it, and it’s going to be a great game.” Well, judging from the last time these teams met in the Super Bowl David Tyree’s jaw-dropping, helmet-pinning catch and all it just might be. “Being in this situation is a great moment,” Patriots nose tackle Vince Wilfork said. “You have to cherish this moment.” New England (15-3) opened as a 3-point favorite for the Feb. 5 game against New York (12-7), but the Patriots know all about being in this position. They were favored by 12 points and pursuing perfection in 2008, but New York’s defense battered Brady, and Manning connect- ed with Plaxico Burress on a late touchdown to win the Giants’ third Super Bowl. That TD came, of course, a few moments after one of the biggest plays in playoff history: Manning escaping the grasp of Patriots defenders and finding Tyree, who put New York in scoring position by trapping the football against his helmet. “Hopefully, we will have the same result,” Umenyiora said. “We still have one more game to go, but this is truly unbelievable.” Especially since the Giants appeared on the verge of collapsing with Tom Coughlin’s job status in jeopardy just a month ago, when they fell to 7-7 with an embarrassing loss to the Washington Redskins on Dec. 18. “We’ve been here before,” linebacker Mathias Kiwanuka said at the time, “and we’ll get back.” Boy, was he right. The Giants were facing elimination against the rival Jets and Rex Ryan, who boldly declared that his team ruled New York. Well, Coughlin’s crew silenced Ryan with a 29-14 victory. The Giants followed that with a 31-14 win over Dallas in the regular-season finale to clinch the NFC East and get to the playoffs for the first time since the 2008 season. New York dominated Atlanta at home in the opening round. Then came a stunner: a 37-20 victory at Green Bay knocking out the defending Super Bowl champions. On Sunday, Manning extended the best season of his career with one more solid performance, and Lawrence Tynes kicked the Giants past the San Francisco 49ers 20-17 in overtime for the NFC title. “I’m just proud of the guys, what we’ve overcome this year, what we’ve been through,” Manning said, “just never having any doubts, keep believing in our team that we could get hot and start playing our best football.” The Patriots are rolling into the Super Bowl having won 10 straight, with their last loss being to you guessed it the Giants, 24-20 back in early November. “We know they’re a great team,” Manning said. “We played them already this year. They’ve been playing great football recently.” They sure have. And now Brady and the Patriots are in familiar territory, playing in the Super Bowl for the fifth time in 11 years and first since the stunning upset in Arizona. New England hopes to avoid all that sort of drama this time around. Unless it goes in the Patriots’ favor, as it did in the AFC title game. Brady was unusually subpar in the Patriots’ 23-20 victory over Baltimore, throwing for 239 yards with two interceptions and, for the first time in 36 games, no TD passes. But he got some help from the Patriots’ much-maligned defense, which made some crucial stops down the stretch. A few mistakes by the Ravens helped greatly, too, as Billy Cundiff shanked a 32yard field goal attempt with 11 seconds left soon after Lee Evans had a potential winning touchdown catch ripped out of his hands in the end zone. “Childlike joy. It’s all about childlike joy,” linebacker Jerod Mayo said. “Last night felt like the day before Christmas for me and I haven’t had that feeling in a long time.” New England last won the Super Bowl in 2005, a long drought considering that the Patriots took home Lombardi trophies three times in four years. There are only a handful of players left from that team, with guys like Corey Dillon, Tedy Bruschi and Rodney Harrison replaced by young up-and-comers such as Mayo, Rob Gronkowski and Aaron Hernandez. “It doesn’t even feel right, especially playing with the veterans here,” Gronkowski Mark Cornelison photo/MCT New York Giants receiver David Tyree (85) hauls in a long pass against the New England Patriots’ Rodney Harrison (37) on the game-winning drive in a 17-14 victory over the New England Patriots in the second half of Super Bowl XLII at University of Phoenix Stadium in Glendale, Arizona, on Sunday, February 3, 2008. said. “I watched them go to the Super Bowl as I was growing up, and now I’m part of it? It is an unreal moment.” The constants, though, are Brady and Bill Belichick. And that’s been a winning combination for New England, combining to become the first QB-coach combination to win five conference championships in the Super Bowl era. Belichick did perhaps his finest coaching job this season, piecing together a de- fense that ranked secondto-last in the league during the regular season. That led to plenty of shootouts, and Brady was more than up to the task, throwing for a career-high 5,235 yards while tossing 39 touchdown passes. “They’re an amazing team,” Patriots owner Robert Kraft said. “They’re a great brotherhood; they’re a family.” And they’re all looking to lift another Super Bowl trophy together. Patriots-Giants.

For that reason alone, you might want to consider keeping a dream diary. Your positive attitude plays out well, especially in your personal and domestic life. If you are single, curb a tendency to commit before you really know the person. Give yourself at least a year. If you are attached, the two of you expand your household or make some positive changes to your home. PISCES has great ideas for how to spend your money. The Stars Show the Kind of Day You’ll Have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult ARIES (March 21-April 19) HHHH What you might be thinking may not be apparent. In fact, you are working on a very different, intuitive level. If you have a strong sense financially, follow through, as long as the risk is not too great. Share an inspired idea. Tonight: Relax to some good music. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHHHH You zero in on what is happening with a friend. Be gracious. Let this person tell you what is going on, though he or she might not be exactly sure. A friend who can be flighty taps into your energy. Do not allow this person to drain you. Tonight: Where the action is. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHHHH What you might have thought of as rumor or hearsay might not be. The end results will be excellent. Many of your interactions transform within a key relationship. Still, you need to detach from this person’s need to control. Tonight: A spark on the social scene. CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHHH You might want to revamp your plans. The problem lies in the fact that once your day becomes fluid, it might never stabilize. Ask yourself if that is OK. Several demanding people seek you out. You cannot avoid their controlling ways forever. Tonight: Break past your thoughts. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHHHH Your fiery demeanor seems a bit off. You feel as if you must understand what is happening behind the scenes, especially with a key player. Others do not know what to make of you when you are like this. It gives them pause to think. Tonight: All smiles. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHHHH Others view you as excitable and full of energy. Your ability to detach will emerge, allowing you to make a perfect choice. You know what works. Answer to another person clearly. Your ability to understand allows you to be gracious when few can. Tonight: Taking in new vistas. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHHH Put 100 percent into whatever you want. You will see the end results, which will make you smile. You also will feel much better about yourself. A partner comes up with a wonderful investment. Push comes to shove with a personal matter. Tonight: Togetherness works. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHHH Your words make waves. You might want to decide if that is the end result you desire. Do not try to minimize the situation. Rather, claim responsibility and the ability to change it. Know what it is you want. Tonight: Ever playful. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHH Pressure builds, and you see life from a different perspective. Getting your view in line with reality needs to occur in order to experience success. Opportunities increase under those circumstances. Be willing to reorganize from a different perspective. Tonight: Happiest at home. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHHH Your self-expression and ability to move forward depend on whether you can open up to a new perspective. Remain sure of yourself, and honor your core integrity. You cannot go wrong. Creativity surges to an unprecedented level if you relax. Tonight: Let talks flow naturally. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHHH What you perceive as a good idea could become one. Test it a little more. Be more sensitive to your personal needs, and you will gain. Not everything is work- or businessrelated. Let go and relax. Tonight: Buy a coveted item on the way home. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHHHH You flow through problems with optimism, drawing even more positive responses. A meeting that you thought would go a certain way becomes a little more difficult and, in some sense, convoluted. Tonight: Meet a friend; the activity is your call.

Big East Commissioner John Marinatto was to hold a conference call Tuesday afternoon with Miller, athletic director Chet Gladchuk and football coach Ken Niumatalolo. In December, the Big East added Boise State and San Diego State as football-only members and SMU, Houston and Central Florida in all sports. Those schools will join in 2013. Paterno’s son: JoePa upbeat, fought cancer to end The Big East is trying to build a 12-team football conference with an eastern and western division and a league championship game. The conference is losing Pittsburgh and Syracuse to the Atlantic Coast Conference and West Virginia to the Big 12, but it’s unclear when. West Virginia filed a lawsuit against the Big East so it can join the Big 12 in 2012. The Big East sued West Virginia to make the school abide by the league’s 27-month notification period, which would keep the Mountaineers in the Big East through the 2013-14 school year. A Rhode Island judge has ordered West Virginia and the Big East to enter nonbinding mediation to resolve their competing lawsuits. Pitt, Syracuse and the ACC have said they will not challenge the Big East bylaws. STATE COLLEGE, Pa. (AP) — Joe Paterno was upbeat and confident in his final days and didn’t die brokenhearted over his firing in November as Penn State’s longtime football coach, his son said Monday. Scott Paterno said his Dad was “serenely calm,” before his death from lung cancer on Sunday, antsy to leave the hospital so he could start planning a vacation with his wife, Sue. Paterno was abruptly dismissed after 46 years amid a child sex abuse scandal involving a former assistant coach. During a telephone interview with The Associated Press, Scott Paterno said his father’s health had deteriorated by Friday afternoon, prompting the family to announce Saturday that the 85-year-old Paterno was in serious condition. He died the following morning. “He wanted his family in his room. He wanted to be around people. He wanted to talk,” the son said. “He wanted to have people, even when he had trouble speaking, he wanted people around him talking. How are your kids? It was so natural. It was like we were having dinner around the kitchen table. It just happened to be his hospital bed.” And, he said: “Even at the end when it was clear that he passed a line of no return, it was never a moment of bitterness. It was never a moment of fear. He was serenely calm, even right up to the end.” The Paternos would have been married six decades this year. Along with their five children, Sue Paterno was at her husband’s bedside at Mount Nittany Medical Center when he died. “If there’s any message I think my father would pass on to everybody at this point, it’s ‘let’s build this thing up.’ He was so positive and so confident at the end of his life that the things that were important about this place would endure. “And that’s why he was at peace,” Scott Paterno said, before joking, “That, and (that) my mother was willing to put up with him all these years.” The Paternos’ plans for a long promised six-week honeymoon trip were snatched away by the disease that took his life. The actual honeymoon? A three-day trip to Virginia Beach with a stop to see a recruit on the way down. Paterno re-entered the hospital on Jan. 13, with his family fully expecting him to return home despite his increased frailty. They thought it was simply a matter of getting him stabilized. As recently as last Wednesday, Paterno was counting on his fingers the number of days he had been in the hospital, hoping to get out. “One, two, three, four, five. I’ve been here five days. I’m coming home,” his son quoted his Dad as saying. Though the old coach was on a respirator that made it difficult to talk, it didn’t stop him from teasing Scott on Thursday about his weight. Again. Dad playfully pointed to his son’s belly. “He did that every time,” Scott Paterno said. There were no balloons or flowers in Paterno’s room. His son suspects his mother sent them to other patients in the hospital. But there was a Penn State sweat shirt in there. “His life is Penn State through and through,” Scott Paterno said, speaking of his father in the present tense. “He understood that and it never once occurred to him to be bitter toward Penn State.” Manning trying to cope with Colts’ transition INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Peyton Manning still intends to play football. He’s also no fan of the Colts’ big offseason overhaul that included the firing of coach Jim Caldwell and other executives. In an interview that appeared Tuesday in The Indianapolis Star (http:// indy.st/yMVQY8), Manning touched on everything from his future plans to the difficulty he’s had coping with all the changes. He has not responded to interview requests made by The Associated Press. “It’s 20 degrees, it’s snowing, the building is absolutely empty except when you see coaches cleaning out their offices,” Manning said. “I guess it’s the reality of the football world, just not something I’ve had to deal with very often. But I’m in there every day, so I have to sit there and see it. Everybody’s being evaluated and I’m no different. It’s not the best environment. “It’s unfortunate because so many of them have been such a big part of so many big wins here, and this is so … sudden,” Manning added. “Their keys didn’t work the next day. There’s no other way to do it? I don’t know. That’s hard to see, all these people leaving. And I may be behind them. Who knows?” One thing Manning does know is that last week’s discussion about his “impending” departure from football was premature. He poked fun at the frenzy surrounding a Twitter post from actor Rob Lowe, who wrote Manning was expected to announce his retirement last week. Manning said the whole thing caught him off-guard. “I never thought ‘Sodapop Curtis’ would announce my retirement,” he said, referring to Lowe’s character in the 1983 movie “The Outsiders.” ”I always thought I would be the one to announce it.” The biggest questions, of course, are about Manning’s health and his future in Indianapolis. While Manning would not say where he is in his recovery or how close he is to being 100 percent 4 months after having his latest neck surgery, he said new general manger Ryan Grigson inferred the decision about paying Manning a $28 million bonus in March or letting him become a free agent would be made by team owner Jim Irsay.

The service academy has been a football independent since the program began in 1879. The Midshipmen have been thriving over the last decade. They played in eight straight bowl games before slipping to 5-7 this season and have won a record 10 straight games against rival Army. “While our independent status has served Navy football well to date, Big East conference affiliation will help ensure our future scholar-athletes The Daily Sentinel • Page 10 www.mydailysentinel.com mdtnews@mydailytribune.com Limit your story to 500 - 750 words please. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
