MEIGS COUNTY — An investigation
into possible federal crop insurance fraud
in Meigs County is currently taking place
according the the United States Attorney’s
Office in Columbus.
The United States Department of Agriculture executed a search warrant in an ongoing investigation on Tuesday afternoon
at the Hot Spot gas station located just off
of U.S. 33 near Portland, Ohio.
The business is co-owned by Christopher

The Hot Spot gas station near Portland, Ohio, was searched on Tuesday as part of an investigation Wolfe and Terry McNickle. Wolfe’s home
was also reportedly searched. A listing for

Wolfe states the address as Blind Hollow
Road.
Fred Alverson of the United States Attorney’s Office in Columbus said that the affidavits for the search warrant were reviewed
by a federal magistrate and sealed by the
court.
A representative with the United States
District Court in Columbus said that no
information as to search warrants or the
affidavits for the search warrants could be
provided and that those documents had
been sealed.

6th annual reunion

POMEROY — The first day of school always presents
some challenges, not only for the students, but the classroom teachers along with the bus drivers who travel
many miles to get everyone where they need to be before the bell rings and classes begin.
School started in both the Meigs Local School District and the Southern Local School District Tuesday.
Classes in the Eastern Local School District begin today.
This year, not only did the bus routes in the Meigs
Local School District undergo a complete change, with
single routing instead of dual routing as has been used
for the past few years, but the times for school to begin
and end were changed. The 23 buses pulled out before 6
a.m. to begin the routes and Dean Harris, transportation
director, said everything went great on the morning run.
He added that the afternoon run was “a little bumpy”
POMEROY — A fresh
fruit and vegetable grant of
$43,800 awarded to the Meigs
Elementary School means
that students there will be offered a daily snack this year in
addition to their breakfast and
lunch.
Getting the grant means
that children, many coming
from homes where food money at times is insufficient, will
be offered a snack during the
day.
“This gives us another
opportunity to nourish the
largely impoverished students
in our district,” said Chrissy
Musser, food service supervisor. “It also gives us a chance
to introduce foods that a
child may not otherwise see
at home, such as kiwi, pomegranate or sweet potatoes.”
The snack offering is in
addition to daily breakfasts
which are offered to all Meigs
Local students at no charge,
and the luncheon program
which this year is undergoing change in order to comply
with federal nutritional guidelines. Musser said that the majority of the changes involve
the consumption of fruits and/
or vegetable.
She said Meigs Local is
utilizing an “Offer vs. Serve”
lunch in which students can
choose any three of five lunch
components offered.

Noah’s Ark drama presented this weekend
Staff Report
mdsnews@mydailysentinel.com
POMEROY — The annual Noah and the
Ark live outdoor drama will be presented
this weekend at the Hillside Baptist Church.
Hillside Baptist Church and The Power
in the Blood Ministries will present the drama at 7:30 p.m. nightly from Aug. 24-26 at
the church located on Ohio 143 just outside
of Pomeroy.
The drama features a replica of Noah’s
Ark. The replica is 86 feet long, 12 feet
wide, 29 feet high. Volunteers have also
constructed a baby ark playground nearby.
The outdoor drama, performed by members of the church and the Power in the
Blood Ministries, takes viewers back in
time and presents Noah and his family in
a way that few have seen — taunted and
harassed by others and pushed to his limit.
Located just off of the highway, the ark
sits on a hill, just behind the church and is
roughly one tenth of the size of the actual
ark. The church started the production of ”
Noah and the Ark ” fifteen years ago.
Admission and parking are free. A love
offering will be taken.
Some seating is available, but lawn chairs
are also welcome. Handicap parking will
also be available.
Concession stands will be open, serving

discipline and leadership.
We all carry the baggage of
our original families with us
when we have children of our
own, and the image of your
father as disciplinarian and
your mother as lenient looms
large in your household.
When the going gets tough,
as it usually does in the teenage years, you don’t need
to be second-guessing who
takes what role or become
panicky about how to switch
it up in a crisis.
Try to accept your family
the way it is, and encourage
your husband in his important role as a father who is
there for his children. If he
can focus on teaching your
kids perseverance and resilience, you will find yourself
able to do the same and seldom will be called upon to
be the bad guy. Some new research from Brigham Young
University, where scientists
followed more than 300 families for several years, found
that authoritative parenting,
in which fathers lovingly
showed the value of accountability and persistence, was
a positive force in the kids’
lives. The good cop-bad cop
model you’re trying to copy
might not be the best road
for the two of you to follow.

Be patient but firm in letting her know that she needs

permanent handicap.

Dear Dr. Brothers: In my

punishing when we kids got

Outside money pouring into Senate race
COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Nowhere is as much money being spent
on a Senate race this year as in Ohio,
where liberal Democrat Sherrod
Brown is seeking a second term, his
fate to some degree dependent on how
well President Barack Obama does in
the state’s tossup presidential contest.
Outside interest groups are flooding
the state with money. The U.S. Chamber of Commerce, business and conservative groups are pouring money
into the state in support of Republican
challenger Josh Mandel; and labor, environmental and other liberal groups
are spending on behalf of Brown.
Crossroads GPS, an independent
group associated with Republican
strategist Karl Rove, the Chamber and
other Mandel backers have spent a
combined $15 million against Brown,
and plan to spend $6.7 million more
before November.
Their goal is to return the Senate
to GOP control after six years of being run by Democrats. They need a
net pickup of four seats — three if Republican Mitt Romney wins the White
House — and one of their juicier targets is Brown, who voted 100 percent
with the AFL-CIO in 2010 but only
9 percent with the Chamber of Commerce.
Environmental, labor and political
committees lining up against Mandel,
the Republican state treasurer, have
spent a combined $3.1 million. Even
after outraising Mandel’s campaign
committee by $5 million, Brown has
been significantly overspent.
Brandon Twyman, 22, a movie theater worker in Columbus, views all the
ads as a waste of good TV time.
“People want to get their point
across, I understand that, but at the
same time you’re wasting millions of
dollars where millions of dollars could
go somewhere else,” he said. “To me, I
don’t think it’s necessary.”
Brown’s surprise victory six years
ago in this closely divided swing state
made him the first Democrat the state
had sent to the Senate since former
astronaut John Glenn’s retirement in
1999. A well-known Ohio figure, he’s
maintained a single-digit lead over
Mandel in polls, but he’s also struggling to break 50 percent and could
be vulnerable if Obama falters badly in
November.
His critics try to tie Brown with
presidential priorities least popular in
the closely divided state — including
the health care overhaul and energy
policies they paint as anti-coal. One of
the most recent TV spots funded by
Crossroads GPS asks: “Who’s the biggest supporter of the Obama agenda
in Ohio? It’s Sherrod Brown.”

Cheri Bustos, called on her
opponent, GOP Rep. Bobby
Schilling, to return a $2,000
donation from Akin. Schilling
did so and issued a statement
expressing his disgust with
Akin’s remarks.
“As a father, a husband and
a close friend to people who
have been scarred by the evils
of rape, I could never stand
with someone who said
something so contrary to our
basic human values,” he said.
In Wisconsin, Democrat
Pat Kreitlow had made an issue of GOP Rep. Sean Duffy’s
support for legislation defining “forcible rape” even before Akin’s comments. That
criticism now has new life,
Kreitlow said.
“People are simply amazed
there are elected officials
who would take these positions, to redefine rape,” he
said. “We were hearing about
it in Wisconsin before Akin
said this, and of course we’re
hearing a lot more about it
now.”
Duffy, meanwhile, followed
the path of other Republicans
in calling for Akin to drop his
Missouri Senate bid and repudiating his comments.
In trying to link Akin to
their opponents, Democrats
are following a time-honored
campaign tradition. When
a controversial statement or
issue percolates in one race,
the party sensing an opportunity will invariably try and
make it an issue in as many
races as possible, said Jack
Pitney, a political science
professor at Claremont McKenna College.
“This is politics 101,” Pitney said. “You try to tie your
opponent to an unpopular
one on the other side and let
them figure it out.”
Pitney questioned for
how long Democrats will be
successful in making Akin’s
comments an issue, but
Democrats have some reason
to believe that it’s an election
winner to highlight Republicans who oppose abortion
even in cases of rape and incest.

read, “Mike Coffman and
Todd Akin have been fighting side by side against women in Congress,” and posted
a video online that included
footage of Akin praising Coffman on the House floor.
Coffman responded by calling for Akin to leave the race
and decrying his rape comments as “wrong, inappropriate and hurtful to women
across the country.”
It’s a scene repeated in
House races nationwide, as
Akin’s comments on rape are
playing a role in more than a
dozen House races in battleground states — particularly
those in which the incumbents joined Akin last year
in co-sponsoring a resolution
that would have redefined
rape as “forcible rape.”
Most Democrats and
women’s groups objected to
such language, because it
suggested there are different
severities of rape.
In New Hampshire, Annie Kuster rapped one of the
Democrats’ top targets, GOP
Rep. Charlie Bass, saying
she was “disappointed” Bass
hadn’t yet called for Akin to
leave the Senate race. Bass
quickly did so. In Illinois, another Democratic challenger,

DENVER (AP) — Meet
the newest campaign issue
for House Democrats: Todd
Akin.
From Colorado to New
Hampshire to Illinois, Democrats already are using the
incendiary comments about
rape made by the Missouri
congressman and Republican
Senate candidate as a political bludgeon. In interviews,
news releases and tweets,
they’ve blasted Akin for saying victims of “legitimate
rape” are able to naturally
prevent pregnancy and tried
to tie their opponents to legislation he’s supported.
Those moves might only
be the beginning, as Akin has
so far refused to drop out of
the race despite pleas from
top Republicans, including
GOP presidential candidate
Mitt Romney, and the widespread condemnation of his
remarks.
“People are disgusted and
appalled,” said Joe Miklosi,
a Democratic congressional
candidate in suburban Denver, who began tying his opponent, GOP Rep. Mike Coffman, to Akin within hours of
learning about his comments
this past Sunday.
Miklosi sent a tweet that

Opinion
Man vs. himself on Wall Street
Dr. Craig Columbus
A costly computer trading glitch involving market
maker Knight Capital has
intensified the debate over
the effects and value of highfrequency algorithmic trading. The holding period for
most of these strategies is
measured in milliseconds.
Specially designed computer algorithms blast out
millions of orders a second.
Most of these orders are
merely probes, designed to
gauge market interest. The
vast majority are canceled
almost instantly before they
become actual trades. Highfrequency traders are also
adept at pocketing the rebates or fees that stock exchanges pay traders to route
orders on their platforms.
Critics say these probes
clog the system, crowding
out legitimate orders. By
making it more difficult to
get execution of limit orders,
for example, algorithmic
trading disproportionately
harms retail investors. And
that’s when everything
works the way it is designed!
In 2010, the Dow dropped
roughly 1,000 points in a
couple of minutes due to a
computerized trading error.
The cause of the so-called
“flash crash” still remains
largely a mystery.
What can be done? After
the “flash crash,” exchanges
around the world installed
additional circuit breakers
to slow down wild swings.
Many have suggested placing some sort of transaction tax on high frequency
trading, and the S.E.C. is
studying the risks these
traders pose to the stability
of financial markets. Like
many proposed Wall Street
reforms, however, these are
incomplete solutions that
fail to address the deepest
roots of the problem.
In our forthcoming book,
“God and Man on Wall
Street: The Conscience of
Capitalism,” Mark Hendrickson and I argue that
Wall Street reform also requires
nongovernmental
regulatory solutions—additional self-restraint inculcated through culture-shaping
institutions such as familial,
civic, social, educational and
faith communities. Along
with an updated regulatory
framework, these powerful
influences make redemption
possible.
Yes, technology promotes
liquidity in markets. However, hubris is Wall Street’s
Achilles’ heel, as participants
frequently disregard man’s
limitations for measuring
and predicting future risks.
It’s becoming clear that the
existing technology infrastructure, i.e., the plumbing
of Wall Street, can’t fully
support the complexity of
high-frequency trading.
While the “algos” have a
right to push the envelope of
innovation, they should not
be permitted to hide behind
complexity. Financial professionals should be required to
provide a clear roadmap for
how to monitor and disarm
any innovations that could
go rogue under extreme conditions. Shooting a rocket
into space is only half the
mission. It must also be
equipped to safely return to
earth.
Don’t get me wrong, I am
an ardent believer in the benefits of financial innovation.
Today, we take for granted
many of these powerful innovations, like ATM’s, certificates of deposit and index funds. Many of today’s
investors are also unaware
of Wall Street’s so-called
“Paperwork Crisis” of the
1960s, when increased trading volumes overwhelmed
the industry’s paper-based,
back-office record-keeping.
Only more sophisticated
computer and administrative systems resolved the
settlement crisis.
The dominant belief on
Wall Street today, however,
is that added complexity enhances competitive advantage. Everyone assumes
that complexity will serve
as a barrier to competitors
while superior intellect and
resources will always enable one’s own firm to prevail. Within this worldview,
culture and values are thus
rarely seen as important
sources of competitive advantage. “Smartness” often
crowds out other important
human virtues like empathy
and compassion.
This attitude isn’t con-

fined to Wall Street’s small
band of sophisticated highfrequency traders. Dangerous complexity marked MF
Global. One of its regulators conceded in Congressional testimony that the
firm’s books were simply too
complicated. That complexity outstripped MF Global’s
inadequate risk controls.
Some financial institutions
have become so large and
opaque that it’s difficult
for any CEO to adequately
oversee them—particularly
during extreme financial
shocks.
Monetary
authorities
around the world have also
demonstrated the same hubris. Under this thinking,
no interventionist strategy
appears too novel or risky. In
fact, throwing things at the
wall to find out what sticks
can seem downright proactive. This assumes, however,
that the process of perpetual
tinkering is both costless
and harmless. There are
boundaries to endless experimentation—a clear distinction between Dr. Salk and
Dr. Frankenstein.
In many cases, regulators
simply can’t keep up with
the innovation arms race.
Both non-banking lending
and mortgage derivatives,
for example, developed
faster than regulators could
police or even evaluate. Financial engineering is like
blood doping in professional
cycling: the innovators are
always one step ahead of
techniques for detection.
Because of this inherent
gap, it is essential that we
discuss character and values
within the financial system.
The risks to the broader
economy place these issues
within the realm of public
trust. Some have said that
the recent breakdowns demonstrate that trading no longer pits man versus the machines but rather machines
versus machines. I would argue that, at its core, it’s still a
battle of man versus himself.

Letter to The Editor
Reader recognizes
value of Social Security
Dear Editor,
August 14, 1935, commemorated the day
one of the most important and successful
programs for American families began;
President Franklin D. Roosevelt signed the
Social Security Act into law. Since then, it
has kept seniors, widows, the disabled and
children of disabled or deceased parents
from falling into poverty.
As the son of elderly parents, I am thankful that FDR and LBJ led the way in creating Social Security and Medicare to provide
a safety net for many thousand seniors in
southern Ohio. But as you are aware, these
programs are under attack. I urge everyone
to contact Congressman Bill Johnson and
former Congressman Charlie Wilson to
see where they stand on this important issue. Our seniors worked hard and deserve
the preservation of their earned benefits.
Thank you.

Expect grunts, shrieks, hoots at US Open
Melissa Murphy,
AP Sports Writer
NEW YORK — Grunts,
shrieks and hoots.
That’s what fans can look
forward to next week at the
U.S. Open, where earplugs
will be optional while watching some of the world’s top
players.
On the women’s side, the
high-pitched shrieks get the
most attention. The WTA
in June announced plans to
educate young players and
coaches to keep the decibels
down. There’s also been
talk about chair umpires
using a hand-held “grunt-ometer” — not unlike a radar
gun on serves.
Opponents say it’s unfair
because the noisemakers
make it hard to hear when
a ball hits the racket, which
helps in timing a return.
Players also can be penalized under the hindrance
rule, if the chair umpires
believe it’s deliberate and
creates an advantage.
Tennis fans have the option of turning down the
volume on their TVs or, if
watching in person, getting
radio headsets.
Here’s a look at offenders past and present, the
hindrance rule and how to
tame the grunters.
Loudest yelpers:
Top-ranked Victoria Azarenka hoots with nearly
every point, using an “AHOOOOOH” sound that extends well past the point
of contact with the ball.
Maria Sharapova employs
Congress shall make no law
respecting an establishment of
religion, or prohibiting the free
exercise thereof; or abridging the
freedom of speech, or of the press;
or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition
the Government for a redress of
grievances.

a high-octave shriek that
reaches aria heights late
in tight matches. The Williams sisters’ decibel levels
tend to rise with important points. On the men’s
side, Novak Djokovic and
Rafa Nadal grunt with
their groundstrokes, but
as Billie Jean King points
out, “It’s a lower grunt.
Everyone seems to be OK
with that. It’s the pitch
of the grunt that bothers
(fans).” Among the quietest players? Effortless
Roger Federer.
Seles trademark
Teenager Monica Seles
took the modern grunt
to new levels in the early
1990s, using two-note
“AH-HEEE” shrieks to accompany her two-handed
shots on both wings. Her
memoir noted she started
tennis at age 6 and grunted from Day 1 because she
was so small and wanted
to put every ounce of energy into the ball. The grunt
sounded like a martial
arts move and apparently
worked for Seles, who
reached No. 1 at 17 and
won eight majors by 19. In
1992, Wimbledon officials
asked her to quiet down
after Martina Navratilova
complained she couldn’t
hear the ball hit the racket.
Seles followed in the guttural footsteps of Jimmy
Connors, who provided
yells and fist pumps during his spectacular run to
the semifinals of the 1991
U.S. Open at age 39.
Issue for fans,
media or players?
It’s
not
particularly
player-driven, with few
complaints over the years
to chair umpires. Chris
Evert calls the cacophony
annoying, but believes the
criticism is more fan- and
media-driven. Former No. 1
Caroline Wozniacki has said
some players “do it on purpose.” Agnes Radwanska
considered the grunts too
loud at this year’s Australian Open, where the crowd
started imitating Azarenka’s hoots. When Azarenka
and Sharapova faced off for
the title Down Under, local
papers called it the “Scream
Queen Final.” Fans also
echoed Sharapova’s grunts
when she hit the ball during a 2008 Fed Cup match
in Israel.
Hindrance
rule applied?
The chair umpire can
penalize a player for “hindrance,” but the rule is rarely
enforced for grunting. The
hindrance rule states: “If a
player is hindered in playing
the point by a deliberate act
of the opponent, the player
shall win the point.” Serena
Williams lost a point when
she shouted before Samantha Stosur struck the ball
during the final of the 2011
U.S. Open. At this year’s
French Open, the chair umpire twice awarded a point
to Williams because of her
opponent’s grunting. Brad
Gilbert, a tennis commentator and former coach of Andre Agassi, says if players
start losing points, it will
stop.

found their lockers, tried to
adjust to sitting at a desk
all day, and to concentrate
on what they were there to

is uncovered then the information would
be presented before a federal grand jury for
possible indictment.
Local residents reported that the business was closed on Tuesday afternoon with
law enforcement present at the scene.
“In the past, if the student
didn’t want to take a fruit or
a vegetable, they were not
forced to,” Musser added, “but
under the new regulations every student must have a fruit
or a vegetable serving on their
tray.”
She also said there are
weekly requirements for types
of fruits and vegetables served
to be sure a variety is offered
along with maximum and minimum requirements for meats
and grains to be offered.
One of the reasons for the
changes, according to Musser,
is to try to improve the diet/
health of students and also
to fight high childhood obesity which is being seen in the
schools.
“The changes won’t come
easy for some of the students
who may not respond well to
the new offerings,” she said.
“The challenge will be to entice students to try new foods
that haven’t necessarily been
seen on the menu before.
Meigs was a bit ahead of the
curve and started implementing a few new foods last school
year. While any change takes
time, our students last year responded generally well to the
new offerings.”
As for the breakfasts offered to students, there are no
changes this year, but Musser
said beginning with the 201314 school year that program,
too, will see some changes.
Documents were reportedly seized in the
search.
No arrests have been made, and no charges have been filed.
The investigation will continue to determine if there was any wrongdoing, and if
so, over what period of time and in what
amount.

organizational meeting earlier this
month in Jackson.
All five schools (departing Chillicothe did not join in the discussion)
were on board with the idea and gave
Kight and JHS principal Joe Hemsley
the go-ahead to issue the invitations.
Each league member oversees the
SEOAL on a rotating basis each year,
and Jackson’s administration is in

Revised schedules will be presented
to SEOAL athletic directors at their
September meeting. The ADs will

After that, the schedules will be

Holliday has no trouble with
welcoming Thomas and
Smith.
“They’re both great kids,”
Holliday said Wednesday.
“They’ve done a great
job for us. We’re just glad
they’re here.”
Thomas played in nine
games last season and made
four tackles. Holliday said
the junior “definitely” will
get playing time.
He’s already fitting in.
Before a Marshall scrimmage last weekend, Thomas
went up to quarterback Rakeem Cato and said, “I’m
looking forward to you
throwing me one today.”
Sure enough, Thomas
went up high and came
down with a one-handed interception.
“He said I jinxed him,”
Thomas said. “Because
(earlier this month) I asked
him before a practice, ‘How
many interceptions have
you thrown this week?’ He
said, ‘I ain’t thrown none
any all camp yet.’ And he
threw an interception that
day, too. Two interceptions,
I jinxed him on both.”

Transfers could
play key roles
for Marshall
CHARLESTON,
W.Va.
(AP) — Marshall has a history of turning transfers
into playmakers, and thirdyear coach Doc Holliday
has several former majorcollege players in the fold to
help the Thundering Herd
compete for a Conference
USA championship.
Former Penn State cornerback Derrick Thomas
and wide receiver Devon
Smith joined Marshall earlier this month for preseason
practice.
Their transfers were
unrelated to NCAA sanctions following the Jerry
Sandusky child sex abuse
case, although Smith and
Thomas will be eligible to
play right away. Both left
Penn State earlier in the offseason before the sanctions
came out.
Thomas isn’t the only
transfer getting work with
Marshall’s first-team defense.
The secondary also consists of former Boston
College starters Dominick
LeGrande and Okechukwu Okoroha. The safeties
didn’t play last year, graduated from Boston College in
the spring and are battling
for two starting spots at
Marshall.
Marshall has been known
for success with transfers.

Alexander and Athens will pay a separate membership fee for each sport in
which it participates. Once approved,
both schools will immediately become
eligible for SEOAL championships beginning next fall.
It is a win-win for schools in both
conferences.
The TVC does not have enough
schools who play soccer and tennis
to play a league schedule. While the

many years, the loss of Chillicothe

GALLIPOLIS, Ohio — The
Ohio Valley Christian soccer team
rallied back from an early deficit
by scoring seven straight goals
en route to a 7-3 victory Tuesday
over visiting Grace Christian in a
non-conference matchup in Gallia
County.
The Defenders (1-1-0) trailed
1-0 after Brandon McClay scored
a minute into the contest, but the
hosts responded with four successive goals to take a 4-1 cushion
into the intermission.
Chance Burleson tied the game
at one in the 18th minute after
planting a pass from Caleb McKitrick into the back of the net.
Richard Bowman gave OVCS the
permanent lead in the 21st minute after scoring an unassisted
goal from around the top of the
18-yard box for a 2-1 edge.
McKitrick made it a 3-1 game
in the 26th minute after scoring on a T.G. Miller pass, then
Burleson concluded the first half
scoring a minute later on an unassisted goal for a 4-1 halftime lead.
OVCS added three more goals
in the second half to take its biggest lead of the night at 7-1, but
Grace responded with a pair of
goals in the final three minutes
to close the game at its four-goal
outcome.
McKitrick scored on a Burleson pass in the 60th minute for
a 5-1 cushion, then Josh Blevins
joined the scoring barrage in the
65th minute after netting a pass
from T.G. Miller for a 6-1 advantage.
McKitrick, thanks to an assist
from Richard Bowman, netted a
hat trick in the 67th minute —
giving OVCS a commanding 7-1
lead.
Josh Lykins and Ethan Perry
added late goals for Grace in the
77th and 79th minutes, wrapping
up the 7-3 outcome. OVCS outshot the guests by a 21-9 margin,
although Grace managed a 4-2
edge in corner kicks.
Marshall Hood made six saves
in earning the Defenders’ first
win of the season, while Chris

season. Eastern finished third with a
score of 186 while Federal Hocking
shot a 217 for the contest.
Belpre’s number three player, Adam
Perry, created a bit of a storm himself
on the very first hole he played. The
shotgun start found Adam playing the
par three fourth hole as his first of the
day. He took the first shot of the day
in his group and immediately knocked
the ball into the hole for a hole-in-one.
Adam completed his round with a
one under par score of 34 to lead the
Belpre team. That score also earned
Adam the honor of being medalist
for the match. Two excellent scores
of 37 were shot by Brennen Fennell
and Sam Perry while Hayden Plummer added a 41 to complete the 149
total for the winners. Jackie Cunningham and Hayden Lowe also played for
Belpre
The Wahama White Falcons shot
there best nine hole score of the
season, but it was not enough to be
competitive with the winners of this
quad match. Dakota Sisk snapped out
a small slump to lead the White Falcons. Dakota was four over par after
two holes, but found his swing to play
the final seven holes one under par to
turn in a fine 38 for the day.
Both Samuel Gordon and Michael
MacKnight had two bad holes and
shot 43s for the match. Michael Hendricks had his share of trouble and
ended up shooting a 46 to account for
the final score that counted in the Wahama total. Nolan Pierce and Benjamin Foreman also played for Wahama
with their scores not counted in the
final tally.
Eastern’s best score of the day, a 42,
was turned in by Kyle Young. David
Warner followed with a 46 and Josh
Parker added a 48. Derick Powell accounted for Eastern’s final score that
counted with a 50. Jack Kuhn and
Marshall Aanestad added non-counting scores.
Federal Hocking top score for the
day was a 49 by Shane Gillian. Tyler
Clemons added a 51 while Ryan Gillian
contributed a 53 and Zach Kidder’s 64
was the fourth counting score for Eastern. Scott Gillian and Nate Kidder also
played for Federal Hocking.

Ironmen wear the bull’s-eye in SEOAL media poll
Craig Dunn
Special to OVP
With the exception of two-time defending
champion Jackson, Southeastern Ohio Athletic League media had a difficult time predicting who will finish where in the annual
SEOAL pre-season media poll conducted by
The Logan Daily News.
A total of 13 sportswriters, broadcasters
and Internet personnel — with each conference school represented by at least one voter
— picked the Ironmen to earn their thirdconsecutive championship.
Gallia Academy, last season’s runner-up,
was picked to finish second, followed by Warren, Logan, Chillicothe and Portsmouth.
But, other than Jackson, the numbers are
close.
Jackson garnered 12 of the 13 first-place
votes (Warren received the other), with
points awarded on a basis of six for a firstplace vote, five for second, etc.
The Ironmen thus scored 77 of a possible
78 points, followed by Gallipolis (51), Warren
(47), Logan (40), Chillicothe (30) and Portsmouth (28).
However, whereas Jackson was a nearunanimous first-place selection, the other five
teams all received votes ranging the gamut
from second place to sixth.
Gallipolis was named second on four bal-

out by next week.
“We’ll see how it goes the next
three-four practices,” Holliday said.
“If he’s ready to go, we’ll play him. If
he’s not, he won’t.”
The 5-foot-7 Smith caught 25 passes
for 402 yards and two touchdowns in
2011. He also returned kicks.
LeGrande made six starts in 2009
and Okoroha had six starts in 2010.
Thomas, LeGrande and Okoroha
make nice additions to a defense that
lost six starters.
Holliday is 12-13 at Marshall and
has the chance to become the first
Thundering Herd coach to have backto-back winning seasons since 200203.
He hired three new assistants in the
offseason: defensive line coach J.C.
Price, cornerbacks coach Lytrel Pollard and Geep Wade, who will coach
9th annual Southern
Golf Scramble
RACINE, Ohio — Southern Local Athletics will host a four-man
golf scramble on Saturday, Sept. 15,
at Riverside Golf Club in Mason,
W.Va. The scramble will be an 8:30
a.m. shotgun start. The format is
“bring your own” team with only
one player under 8 handicap with a
total team handicap of 40-or-above.
There is a team fee with optional
cash pot, skins and mulligans for
purchase. Prizes of first, second and

lots, third on six, fourth on two and sixth on
another while Warren received a vote in all six
positions: one for first, four for second, three
for third, one for fourth, two for fifth and two
for sixth.
Two voters picked the Chieftains for second, fifth and sixth; three chose the Chiefs to
place third, and four more picked the Purple
& White for a fourth-place finish.
Chillicothe received one second-place vote,
four for fourth, five for fifth and three for
sixth; Portsmouth garnered one vote for both
second and third, two for fourth, four for fifth
and five for sixth.
Thus, if poll results hold form, the final
week of the regular season would feature all
three showdowns for first (Jackson at Gallipolis), third (Logan at Warren) and fifth (Portsmouth at Chillicothe) places.
The annual Southeastern Ohio Athletic
League pre-season football poll, conducted
by The Logan Daily News, is as follows. Firstplace votes are in parenthesis, followed by total points received (maximum of 78 possible
points) ranked on a 6-5-4-3-2-1 basis:
1, Jackson (12) 77; 2, Gallipolis 51; 3, Warren (1) 47; 4, Logan 40; 5, Chillicothe 30; 6,
Portsmouth 28.

“I like our attitude. I like our work
ethic,” Holliday said. “I could care less
about what’s happened in the past. I’m
only concerned about the future and
I’m concerned about this football team
getting better every practice. I think
we have. I think there’s no doubt that
personnel-wise we’re a better football
team at this point.”
Marshall has eight starters returning on offense from the team that went
7-6 last season and beat Florida International 20-10 in the Beef ‘O’ Brady’s
Bowl.
Marshall will be looking for more
offensive production this year after
ranking near the bottom of the Bowl
Subdivision with 333 yards per game.
Cato threw for 2,059 yards with 15
touchdowns as a freshman. Four of his
top five receivers from a year ago are
back. Holliday is counting on Aaron
Dobson to improve on his 49 receptions and 668 yards. Despite the lim-
ited catches, Dobson scored 12 touchdowns.
“I feel pretty good about our skill
players,” Holliday said. “Aaron Dobson’s a great player, but we’ve got other players that we think can play too.”
The running back position is wide
open.
Kevin Grooms, an academic nonqualifier last year, and freshman Steward Butler are among a large group
battling veterans Tron Martinez and
Travon Van for playing time. Martinez
led the Thundering Herd with 549
yards last season, but no player ran for
more than three touchdowns.
Only two teams — Central Michigan and Akron — scored fewer rushing touchdown than Marshall’s nine
last season.
Marshall opens the season Sept. 1 at
No. 11 West Virginia and has another
tough nonconference test Sept. 29 at
Purdue.

schools to determine a league champion.
It also makes scheduling in all four sports much easier
for league athletic directors, and both TVC schools already
play soccer and tennis matches against most of their SEOAL counterparts.
Athens, a charter member of the SEOAL, left the league
in 2008 to join the TVC. While in the SEOAL, the Bulldogs
and Lady Bulldogs won 28 championships (13 in boys tennis, seven in girls tennis, six in boys soccer and two in girls
soccer) in those sports.
The league plays a double round-robin schedule in soccer
and tennis.
The addition of Athens and Alexander means boys soccer and boys tennis will play 10-match conference schedules
while girls soccer will play eight and girls tennis six.
Should Gallipolis add girls soccer and/or girls tennis
teams, the Blue Angels would be included to those schedules as well.
TVC member Vinton County, which also has tennis
teams, has been extended the same invitation but administrators have indicated whether the school will accept.

CONCEPTIS SUDOKU
by Dave Green
HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Thursday,
Aug. 23, 2012:
This year you will become far
more assertive than in years past.
Often, a misunderstanding develops
out of nowhere, or people distance
themselves. Others simply might be
responding to your attitude. Accept
responsibility for this, and others might
change their perception of you. If you
are single, you will want to meet a
like-minded person. This possibility
becomes more of a reality in spring
2013. If you are attached, the two of
you seem to have a natural pace. You
understand each other well. Dote on
this person. SCORPIO can hold you
back.
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 How you focus your energy
will change substantially. You suddenly
will concentrate on joint financial matters and agreements. You might find
that a partner can be very difficult. The
good news is that this, too, will pass.
The bad news is that you will have to
put up with it in the meantime. Tonight:
A discussion does not need to turn into
a fight.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20)
HHHHH Your popularity seems
to soar. Do not question the moment;
simply enjoy it. You also discover that
someone is on your case, whether
you feel this is fair or not. Remember,
there always are alternatives. You will
be able to move a difficult situation in
the right direction. Tonight: Who, where
and what?
GEMINI (May 21-June 20)
HHHHH Your ability to do research
and find answers emerges, perhaps
by necessity. Confusion seems to surround a key question. You might very
well decide to find your own solutions.
Others who know your abilities will be
more relaxed, too. Tonight: Take a
walk by water, or choose some other
stressbuster.
CANCER (June 21-July 22)
HHHHH You have a big imagination. Often, that can be a positive thing,
and other times this gift can be a double-edged sword. Use your ingenuity
to figure out how to handle a financial
matter. Make sure you are not walking through quicksand before you act.
Tonight: Let the fun begin.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)
HHH Stress has a way of building if
you are not careful, especially if there
is a misunderstanding between you
and someone else. Stay centered by
paying attention to your general feelings toward that person. If you can,
avoid letting a difficult situation become
even more difficult. Tonight: Express
your fieriness.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
HHHH You might be more out of
sorts than you realize. Could you be
misinterpreting others’ words? Don’t
read too much into what is being said.
Remain caring, and initiate a conversation to clear out a problem later today.
Tonight: Talks over dinner.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
HHHHH Keep expressing your feelings, but do not be surprised if you get
an odd reaction midway. Be generous
when dealing with this person. Your
compassion will come back tenfold.
Schedule time to do some shopping
ASAP. Tonight: Buy that special item.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
HHHHH You are in your element.
You could be confused by a boss or
older friend. This person not only is
confusing you, but also him- or herself,
the more he or she talks. Be diplomatic. Tonight: Whatever you do, choose
a physical activity. You need to let off
steam.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
HHH Know when to pull back. You
might feel as if you must do something,
but in reality you do not know what
that is. You will figure it out if you can
stay centered. A caring gesture toward
a loved one at a distance draws an
exciting response. Tonight: Take some
much-needed time.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
HHHH You know what you want,
and you know that you have no interest
in stopping. You will be more centered
than you have been in a while. A meeting proves to be most instrumental in
helping you focus on a long-term goal.
Tonight: Where the crowds are.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
HHH Note how much pressure
builds to get you to do certain things
in a particular way. Explain why you
do what you do. The more you are
pushed, the more you push back. That
trait cannot help you in the long run.
Tonight: Try to be more reasonable.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)
HHHHH You want more information, and you are determined to get it.
An initial attempt at being direct might
not work, and actually could backfire.
Detach from the immediate problem;
the answers will appear. Tonight: Let
your mind wander to good music.

Five questions about Ohio State football
COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP)
— Ohio State has a new
coach, new approach, new
players and a fresh start.
But what does it all mean?
There’s a lot going on
in Buckeyeland, now under the guidance of former
Bowling Green, Utah and
Florida coach Urban Meyer.
After a forgettable 2011
— which included NCAA
sanctions, suspensions, departures and a dismal 6-7
record — fans are embracing a rejuvenated program
that opens its season Sept.
1 at home against Miami
(Ohio).
Fifteen starters return
from the team that weathered nothing but bad news
under interim coach Luke
Fickell. With the Buckeyes
officially in looking-ahead
mode instead of dealing
with the trauma of Jim
Tressel’s resignation and all
those NCAA nightmares,
there are many questions as
Meyer establishes his own
imprint in the program’s
123rd year.
1) How are things different under Meyer? Despite
what you may have heard
there are no meters yet invented which can accurately measure intensity. So it’s
hard to say, as have some
over-caffeinated
observers, that Meyer has run the
toughest August camp ever
at Ohio State, or that it’s
substantially more “competitive” or hard-hitting
than last year’s, the year
before or when Paul Brown
prowled the sidelines.
Still, Meyer displays a
brutally frank form of public tough love. He called it
“a clown show” as the Buckeyes tried to grasp his new,
fast-tempo spread offense
in the first week of spring
drills. He has consistently
called out the wide receivers for not working hard
enough or not doing their
jobs, and hasn’t hidden the
fact that since day one he’s
been searching for a hybrid
runner/receiver
around
which to build.
Just this week, Meyer
spoke of the passing game.
“The area where we’re
much improved is throwing and catching. Much improved,” he said. Then he
added, “We couldn’t have
gone much the other way.”
In terms of approach, this
is light years from the senatorial doublespeak of Tressel, deposed in the wake
of the memorabilia-for-cash
scandal of 2011.
Other than not suffering
fools (or marginal effort)
gladly, Meyer has instituted
his version of speed dating
called the spread offense.
Every few seconds, the ball
will be snapped; defenses
had better be ready. This is
beyond light years removed
from the conservative “let’s
play field position and rely
on our defense” offense of
Tressel, which to be fair resulted in his teams winning
almost 8 of every 10 games
for a decade at Ohio State.
Meyer is demanding,
intolerant of excuses and
indifference, more than a
little arrogant and assured
that his way will work.
It’ll be interesting to see
how Meyer — who twice
quit as Florida’s head coach,
the second time to sit out of
coaching for a year due to
health concerns — handles
a return to the pressure
cooker of coaching. It’ll also
be a lab experiment whether Ohio State fans, quick to
love any coach who wins on
a regular basis, accept his
blunt perspective.
2) Will the new offense
flourish? Offensive coordinator Tom Herman makes
it clear that Meyer is canny
enough to not try to fit players into his offense; it works
the other way, with the of-
60340813
60347762
fense adapting to fit the talent at hand.
That means that there
will still be a lot of passing — perhaps more passes
than Ohio State has ever
thrown. And that means far
more throws to backs out
of the backfield and in the
slot, to tight ends and to
receivers in a multitude of
sets.
The personnel on hand,
at the skill positions in particular, is nowhere close
to what Meyer had in his
six seasons at Florida, and
probably not up to what he
had at Utah. But it’s a fluid
situation, with Carlos Hyde
probably running the ball
a lot in the first few games
until Jordan Hall returns
from a cut foot and the offense finds its mojo. It will
likely take time before QB
Braxton Miller finds a receiver with which he has an
almost innate connection.
It’s a qualified yes. The
offense will flourish, but
don’t judge it based on the
opener. There will still be
moments where it’s a clown
show, but other times where
it makes defenses look silly.
Remember: Miller is still
only a sophomore who had
an up-and-down first season, most of the receivers
have never actually done
much receiving in a game,
and the running game is a
work in progress.
3) How good will the defense be? It should be very,
very good, depending on
one rather large, problematic area. The linebacking
crew has received tepid
praise from the coaches,
which is understandable
considering it was a weakness last year during that
debacle of a season.
There’s no question the
front four will be sterling.
John Simon, Johnathan
Hankins, Garrett Goebel
and (when he returns from
microfracture surgery) Nathan Williams make up a
first-class, attack-mode line.
If they get to the opposing
quarterback, everyone including those linebackers
will look a lot better.
The secondary appears to
be deep and talented, with
Bradley Roby and Travis
Howard holding down the
corners and Christian Bryant and C.J. Barnett stalwarts at safety.
An interesting aspect to
keep an eye on is how the
defense works with the offense. The latter is designed
to run through plays (and,
by extension, series) quickly. The linemen say they’ve
never been in better shape,
but if the offense has a couple of quick possessions in
a row, it can wear down a
defense.
4) Who are some surprises who might have big
seasons? Look for receivers
Evan Spencer and Devin
Smith — is it too soon to
call them “Evan and Devin”?
— to be at the heart of most
long-distance plays from
Miller. Corey Brown, one
of two Corey Browns on
the team but we’re talking
about the WR here, also
comes close to being the hybrid uberplayer that Meyer
had in Gatorland.
Freshman OL Taylor
Decker is in a battle with
converted TE Reid Fragel to start. He could be a
mainstay for the next four
years. Classmates Kyle Dodson and Jacoby Boren also
figure to get their feet wet
up front — and fast.
And they certainly won’t
be the only first-year player
making an impact right
away.
Count on LBs Jamal Marcus, David Perkins, Josh
Perry and Camren Williams
to shore up a thin position.
Perhaps the best players
in the incoming freshman
class are all DLs: Tommy
Schutt, Noah Spence and
Adolphus Washington.
Michael Thomas, an early
enrollee to play spring ball,
was the star of the spring
game and could steal playing time from his older
teammates.
With a new coaching
staff, don’t be surprised to
see a lot of youngsters dotting the lineup and laying
the groundwork for next
season when the Buckeyes
can go to a bowl.
5) So should I be thinking
12-0 or happy with just improvement over last season?
It shouldn’t be too difficult
to improve on last season’s
record. The schedule is
such that the Buckeyes will
most likely be favored in at
least eight of their first nine
games, the lone exception
being at Michigan State in
the Big Ten opener. None
of the non-conference opponents (Miami, UCF, Cal,
UAB) presents a tremendous challenge, particularly
when they’ve got 105,000
rooting against them at
Ohio Stadium.
But before betting the
house payment on a 10-2
or better record, remember
that the Buckeyes did lose
seven games last season for
the first time since 1897
and that they come into the
2012 season with a fourgame losing skid. Meyer
and the other new faces on
his staff don’t entirely erase
the fact that the 2011 team
gave up 21 points a game,
at times could not complete
a simple pass and were outscored by almost 2-to-1 in
the first quarter of games
(99-51).
With a 4-0 start in the independent games at home,
and improvement over last
year’s 3-5 mark in the Big
Ten, the Buckeyes shouldn’t
have any problem getting
eight wins. Anything beyond that would be a solid
start to a new era, wouldn’t
it?
