That is the word from Southern Superintendent Tony Deem on the progress of the Southern High School building project. “The walls are going up,” noted Deem. “That’s what everyone wants to see and when that happens the entire atmosphere starts to develop in a positive manner. People in the community are excited and we are too.” Deem noted that the project is on target to finish before the 2013-2014 school See BUILDING ‌| 2 Sarah Hawley | Daily Sentinel The walls are going up on what will become the new Southern High School.

Art in the Village set for Saturday Charlene Hoeflich choeflich@mydailysentinel.com MIDDLEPORT — “Art in the Village,” the annual display of paintings and photographs by talented Bend area artists, will be staged at the Riverbend Arts Council headquarters on North Second Avenue in Middleport Saturday. The event which is free will be open to the public from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. The awards presentation will take place at 3:30 p.m. on the day of the art show. The prizes with each receiving a rosette are $100 for the best of show, $50 for the people’s choice, $50 for first place, $25 for second, and $15 for third. The judging of entries by and out-of-county judge will be closed with decisions being based on composition, perspective and light source, understanding and application of values, individuality and originality, control of medium and color, knowledge of subject matter and appropriate presentation. In addition to the art show to be held inside the building, there will be a variety of activities and exhibits on the adjacent side street. There will be vendors, refreshments, face painting and painting demonstrations given by area artists. The emphasis of the art show is to not only showcase art work from area artists but to introduce children to a variety of art activities in a fun atmosphere. Earlier this month an art class for children was held at the Pomeroy library taught by Bobbi Owen. The work of the children there will be on display at the art show. The art program, geared to encouraging art talent and development as well as appreciation, is supported in part by the Ohio River Border Initiative, a joint project of the Ohio Arts Council and the West Virginia Commission on the Arts. Debra Burke is chairman of Saturday’s art exhibit. She asks that art for competition be taken to the hall on Thursday between 7:30 and 9 p.m. or Friday, 9 a..m. until noon. As for exhibit-only entries where there is no entry fee or judging, those pieces are to be brought in for display at 9 a.m. on exhibit day. Burke noted that there will be a Chinese auction along with the auctioning off of a Fenton cake plate during the afternoon. mdsnews@mydailysentinel.com RACINE — The Big Bend Farm Antique Club recently recognized Dan and Donna Jean Smith for their contributions to the community and the organization.

Smiths honored by Big Bend Farm Antique Club Staff Report RACINE — Victor Wilson of Ashland, Ky., the great nephew of Confederate General Albert Gallatin Jenkins who led a Civil War raid into Meigs County 150 years ago was speaker at a special observance of the Jenkins’ Raid Sesquicentennial held recently at the veteran’s memorial at Racine Post 602 of the American Legion. During the commemorative program arranged by Keith Ashley, he noted that the monument about Jenkins’ Raid in Racine is located in Star Mill Park where that day another event was taking place. Ashley also reported that the Ohio Historical marker on Jenkins’ Raid had been restored to its place in the Buffington Island Park in Portland. Wilson related the history of Gen. Jenkins noting that he had served as a U.S. representative prior to the War of the Rebellion. He said Jenkins was the largest slave holder in what is now West Virginia owning a plantation at Green Bottom, Cabell County, W.Va. The home is now owned by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, and much of the plantation has been turned into a wetland. However, Wilson said the Corps has recently worked to restore the house to its Civil War looks by removing an extension on the original home and the white paint from the outside brick. Jenkins died when he was 33 and is buried in Spring Hill Cemetery, the only cemetery in the United States where both a Union and a Confederate general are both buried. Ashley gave a history of Jenkins Raid noting that it started in Monroe County, and was aimed at drawing Union forces away from Confederate General Loring’s troops. There were about 1500 raiders on the West Virginia side of the Ohio River who rendezvoused with the rest at Point Pleasant. At Ravenswood, the raiders drove 200 Union soldiers across the Buffington Island ford. The raiders then followed on Sept. 4, 1862, to Meigs County where they planted the Confederate flag. The raid continued to Racine where they occupied the town several hours. Ashley said history tells us that they did �Wednesday, September 19, 2012 The Daily Sentinel • Page 2 www.mydailysentinel.com Meigs County Community Calendar Wednesday, Sept. 19 MIDDLEPORT — A free meal will be held from 5-6:30 p.m. at the Middleport Church of the Nazarene.

Building From Page 1 year as previously anticipated. Although the walls are just now starting to be built, Deem noted that months of site preparation, relocation of utilities and soil samples have been ongoing in the development of the site. Deem wanted to dispel rumors that the project was not on target. He explained that the re-bidding of the project did delay the start of the construction somewhat, but that the completion of the school is on schedule. He noted that the contractor Kinsale Corp. has been working diligently to keep the project on track. “There are always circumstances, including weather challenges that could come up, but that is to be expected. Right now our focus is moving forward with this school year, meeting the new challenges that new Ohio Department of Education has laid for us, and most of all teaching our children.” Southern is incorporating the new Core Curriculum in 2012-2013 which evolves around a new set of standards. Much planning, some of which was made possible by Race to the Top funding, allowed Southern to implement at many grade levels well ahead of many districts statewide. “With the construction project in progress, our administration and staff are busier that usual, and with new state standards our teachers have had to work hard to adjust. Everyone is working together though with the final goal in mind, and folks are sharing the load.” As for the changes to the pickup and drop off at the beginning of this school year, Deem said, “parents and students have developed a routine.” A new drop off loop for the buses was built in the rear of the current elementary school, and business as usual is the attitude the district is taking. Parents dropping off students in the morning were displaced to the Racine United Methodist Church. While the walls have just recently started going up, “a lot of work has taken place that no one really notices,” said Deem. “It’s times like now when you can physically see the building going up that people know progress is being made.” “We are all working hard to make sure we have something to be proud of for years to come.” War From Page 1 not destroy buildings but did raid some stores and took temporary hostages. George Webster who he described as deaf and dumb was shot when he failed to halt when an order was given. He survived and made his home with the Samuel Wolfe family, the ancestor of Duane Wolfe of Racine. Webster is buried in Oak Grove Cemetery near Racine. The raiders then rode down river out of Racine and crossed the ford at Wolf’s Bar, which is now the location of old Lock 24. It was that raid, said Ashley, which resulted in the formation of a pre-war militia in Meigs County which began training for the real war action when Morgan’s Raiders came in. At the Racine ceremony where the Legion presented a Civil War/ American Revolution flag to Ashley, wreathes were placed at the monument by Alan Graham of the Racine Legion; Frank Sisson of Brooks-Grant Camp Sons of Union Veterans of the Civil War; Victor Wilson for Robert S. Garnett Camp Sons of Confederate Veterans; Charles Yost, master of Racine Subordinate Grange; and Keith Ashley, commander of the Ohio Commandery Military Order of the Loyal Legion of the U. S.

If you can back off from being defensive for a moment and think about how he must be feeling, it might be easier for you to come to some sort of mutually comfortable understanding. Perhaps you could just talk to your old flame by phone or Internet occasionally. See if your fiance would be happier with that kind of arrangement. Although you and your ex both seem to find the lunch meetings therapeutic, it may be time to bring them to an end or touch base only on a very occasional basis. Your new life with a husband will mean leaving some of that old baggage behind. This undoubtedly would let your fiance know that you care about his feelings, and would help build trust between you. A word to the wise: Some research recently conducted at Cornell University showed that both men and women were much more likely to be jealous if their partner had lunch with a former love than if they had a non-food-based meeting, such as for coffee. Through the eyes of the jealous partner, there was no thinking of a meeting as “just lunch.” It’s food for thought. (c) 2012 by King Features Syndicate Advocates: 39 states’ obesity rates to pass 50 pct NEW YORK (AP) — A group campaigning against obesity predicts that by 2030 more than half the people in 39 states will be obese — not merely overweight, but obese. Mississippi is expected to retain its crown as the fattest state in the nation for at least two more decades. The report predicts 67 percent of that state’s adults will be obese by 2030; that would be an astounding increase from Mississippi’s current 35 percent obesity rate. The new projections were released Tuesday by Trust for America’s Health and the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation. The two organizations regularly report on obesity to raise awareness, and they rely on government figures. But in this case, their dismal forecast goes beyond the 42 percent national obesity level that federal health officials project by 2030. About two-thirds of Americans are overweight now. That includes those who are obese, a group that accounts for about 36 percent. Obesity rates have been holding steady in recent years. Trust for America’s Health officials said their projections are based in part on state-bystate surveys by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention from 1999 through 2010. Those numbers come from what residents say are their height and weight when asked by interviewers over the phone. People aren’t always so accurate about that. The researchers then looked at other national data in which residents were actually weighed and measured and they made adjustments for how much people in each state might fudge the truth about their weight. They also tried to apply recent trends in obesity rates, along with other factors, to make the predictions. Officials with Trust for America’s Health said they believe their projections are reasonable. But their outlook suggests that even in the thinnest state — Colorado, where about one-fifth of residents are obese — 45 percent are predicted to be obese by 2030. Perhaps more surprising — Delaware is expected to have obesity levels nearly as high as Mississippi. Delaware currently is in the middle of the pack when it comes to selfreported obesity rates. The report didn’t detail why some states’ rates were expected to jump more than others. CDC officials declined to comment on the new report. Whichever estimates you trust most, it’s clear that the nation’s weight problem is going to continue, escalating the number cases of diabetes, heart disease and stroke, said Jeff Levi, executive director of Trust for America’s Health. By 2030, medical costs from treating obesity-related diseases are likely to increase by $48 billion, to $66 billion per year, his report said. The focus of so much of the ongoing debate about health care is over controlling costs, Levi said. “… We can only achieve it by addressing obesity. Otherwise, we’re just tinkering around the margins.” Listed are 2011 obesity levels followed by the Trust for America’s Health projections: Mississippi, 35 percent, 67 percent Oklahoma, 31 percent, 66 percent Delaware, 29 percent, 65 percent Tennessee, 29 percent, 63 percent South Carolina, 31 percent, 63 percent Alabama, 32 percent, 63 percent Kansas, 30 percent, 62 percent Louisiana, 33 percent, 62 percent Missouri, 30 percent, 62 percent Arkansas, 31 percent, 61 percent South Dakota, 28 percent, 60 percent West Virginia, 32 percent, 60 percent Kentucky, 30 percent, 60 percent Ohio, 30 percent, 60 percent Michigan, 31 percent, 59 percent Arizona, 25 percent, 59 percent Maryland, 28 percent, 59 percent Florida, 27 percent, 59 percent North Carolina, 29 percent, 58 percent New Hampshire, 26 percent, 58 percent Texas, 30 percent, 57 percent North Dakota, 28 percent, 57 percent Nebraska, 28 percent, 57 percent Pennsylvania, 29 percent, 57 percent Wyoming, 25 percent, 57 percent Wisconsin, 28 percent, 56 percent Indiana, 31 percent, 56 percent Washington, 27 percent, 56 percent Maine, 28 percent, 55 percent Minnesota, 26 percent, 55 percent Iowa, 29 percent, 54 percent New Mexico, 26 percent, 54 percent Rhode Island, 25 percent, 54 percent Illinois, 27 percent, 54 percent Death Notice Helen I.

Program launched to clean up Ohio’s voter rolls Staff Report mdsnews@mydailysentinel.com COLUMBUS — Two new mailings from state will encourage more than 70,000 who’ve moved out of state to cancel their Ohio voter registrations; and more than 300,000 who’ve moved within the state to update their voting addresses online. Using data obtained from the U.S. Postal Service National Change of Address (NCOA) Registry, this week Ohio Secretary of State Jon Husted will be mailing more than 70,000 Ohioans who have moved out of state to encourage them to cancel their Ohio voter registrations if they are no longer eligible. This step will help ensure those who are no longer residents can be removed from Ohio’s voter rolls prior to Election Day. This marks the first time a Secretary of State has attempted to contact former Ohio voters. “Accurate voter rolls are critical to running a smooth election and are the first line of defense against fraud,” Husted said. “Together, with Ohio’s 88 county boards of elections, we have done more over the last year and a half to improve the integrity of the Statewide Voter Registration Database than has been done since it was first created in 2004. That’s something John got in the game with a wide range of sports, movies and more & saved up to $850! W.Va., along Route 7 in Meigs County, and Mason W.Va.

A group picture was taken of all cast members and DVD’s of the movie were presented to each cast member. It was reported a sequel to “Dead Walk” is in the works.

It was reported the movie’s main filming location was at the West Columbia Cemetery, in West Columbia, W.Va. Other filming locations included a service station in Racine, Ohio, a large home in Chester, Ohio, as well as locations in New Haven, in which Ohio voters can be confident.” NCOA data also indicated that more than 300,000 Ohio voters have moved within the state. These voters will soon receive a postcard urging them to update their voting addresses before the October 9, 2012, voter registration deadline. They can simply log on to the new Online Change of Address system housed at www.MyOhioVote.com. Husted noted that the most common reason voters must cast provisional ballots on Election Day is because they have not updated their voting addresses before the deadline. According to Husted, had the Online Change of Address system been in place in 2008, an estimated 130,000 voters who cast provisional ballots could have changed their address online and voted a regular ballot. It is important to note, pursuant to the list maintenance rules of the National Voter Registration Act of 1993, these mailings do not impact the status of these voters; rather they simply urge voters to take proactive steps to update their information. “If the people we reach do what we’re asking, it will dramatically reduce the number of provisional ballots and clean up the voter rolls,” Husted said.

Jubilant young men and women in military uniforms marching beneath a rainbow flag in a gay-pride parade. Soldiers and sailors returning from deployment and, in time-honored tradition, embracing their beloved — only this time with same-sex kisses. It’s been a year now since the policy known as “don’t ask, don’t tell” was repealed, enabling gay and lesbian members of the military to serve openly, no longer forced to lie and keep their personal lives under wraps. The Pentagon says repeal has gone smoothly, with no adverse effect on morale, recruitment or readiness. President Barack Obama cites it as a signature achievement of his first term, and his Republican challenger, Mitt Romney, says he would not push to reverse the change if elected in place of Obama. Some critics persist with complaints that repeal has infringed on service members whose religious faiths condemn homosexuality. Instances of anti-gay harassment have not ended. And activists are frustrated that gay and lesbian military families don’t yet enjoy the benefits and services extended to other military families. Yet the clear consensus is that repeal has produced far more joy and relief than dismay and indignation. There’s vivid evidence in photographs that have rocketed across cyberspace, such as the military contingent marching in San Diego’s gay pride parade and Marine Sgt. Brandon Morgan leaping into the arms of his boyfriend after returning from six months in Afghanistan. Tens of thousands of people clicked the “like” button for the photo on Facebook, and Morgan acknowledged it was “a great moment in history.” “But when it comes down to it, we didn’t intend for this go to worldwide,” he said. “We were just happy to be together.” There have been many such milestones since repeal took effect on Sept. 20, 2011: —In December, a lesbian sailor won the right to the coveted “first kiss” when the USS Oak Hill returned to port in Virginia after 80 days at sea. The crowd on hand to welcome the ship screamed in delight and waved flags as Petty Officer 2nd Class Marissa Gaeta shared a kiss with her partner, Citlalic Snell — a moment captured in a YouTube clip that drew 1.5 million viewers. —In June, Air Force Tech. Sgt. Erwynn Umali and his civilian partner were united in a civil union ceremony at the chapel at Joint Base McGuireDix-Lakehurst in New Jersey, with a Navy chaplain presiding. —In August, longtime Army officer Tammy Smith became the military’s first openly gay general. Her wife, Tracey Hepner, did the honors of pinning on the general’s star during the promotion ceremony. Smith and Hepner were married in March in the District of Columbia, one of many same-sex couples inspired to wed when they no longer had to conceal relationships. Among other newlyweds are Air Force Major Adrianna Vorderbruggen and her civilian wife, Heather Lamb, who married in June, and are raising a 17-month-old son near Washington. Lamb said she’d attended a squadron family and spouse support event, and was recognized by the commander during Vorderbruggen’s recent promotion ceremony. “None of it could have happened before repeal,” Lamb said. Another couple, Alisdair Mackay and Stephen Peters, were married last December in New York shortly before Mackay, a Marine Corps major, began a one-year deployment to Afghanistan. Peters, a former Marine discharged under “don’t ask, don’t tell” in 2007, said the post-repeal experience had been wonderful, by and large, for him and Mackay. “The Marines he works with are completely supportive,” Peters said. “He’s able to be honest about me The Daily Sentinel Reader Services Correction Policy Our main concern in all stories is to be accurate.

Peters is president of the American Military Partner Association, one of several advocacy groups which says the Obama administration could act on its own to extend these benefits, even without Congress repealing the 1996 law denying federal recognition to same-sex marriages. “We were told that once we won repeal, these types of things would be inevitable … but now the defense leadership is dragging its feet,” said Alex Nicholson, who was ousted from the Army under “don’t ask” in 2002 and later founded Servicemembers United, an organization for gay military personnel and veterans which pressed for repeal. The Defense Department says it is studying the possibility of extending marital benefits to same-sex couples, but has announced no time frame. Otherwise, the Pentagon has been emphatic in declaring the repeal a success. The reasons, said Pentagon spokeswoman Eileen Lainez, include comprehensive pre-repeal training, vigorous monitoring and enforcement of standards, and service members’ “adherence to core values that include discipline and respect.” Last week, the Palm Center — a research institute at the University of California, Los Angeles — issued what it described as the first academic study of the impact of repeal, which it had supported. Co-authored by professors from the military academies and Marine Corps War College, the study concludes that repeal had no broad negative impact. “Contrary to expectations, the co-authors found evidence that repeal has improved trust among the troops, and has enabled service members to resolve problems in ways that were not possible while DADT remained law,” the Palm Center said. Page 4 Wednesday, September 19, 2012 One year later, Occupy is in disarray; spirit lives on Meghan Barr Associated Press NEW YORK — Occupy Wall Street began to disintegrate in rapid fashion last winter, when the weekly meetings in New York City devolved into a spectacle of fistfights and vicious arguments. Punches were thrown and objects were hurled at moderators’ heads. Protesters accused each other of being patriarchal and racist and domineering. Nobody could agree on anything and nobody was in charge. The moderators went on strike and refused to show up, followed in quick succession by the people who kept meeting minutes. And then the meetings stopped altogether. In the city where the movement was born, Occupy was falling apart. “We weren’t talking about real things at that point,” says Pete Dutro, a tattoo artist who used to manage Occupy’s finances but became disillusioned by the infighting and walked away months ago. “We were talking about each other.” The trouble with Occupy Wall Street, a year after it bloomed in a granite park in lower Manhattan and spread across the globe, is that nobody really knows what it is anymore. To say whether Occupy was a success or a failure depends on how you define it. Occupy is a network. Occupy is a metaphor. Occupy is still alive. Occupy is dead. Occupy is the spirit of revolution, a lost cause, a dream deferred. “I would say that Occupy today is a brand that represents movements for social and economic justice,” says Jason Amadi, a 28-year-old protester who now lives in Philadelphia. “And that many people are using this brand for the quest of bettering this world.” On Monday, protesters will converge near the New York Stock Exchange to celebrate Occupy’s anniversary, marking the day they began camping out in Zuccotti Park. Marches and rallies in more than 30 cities around the world will commemorate the day. About 300 people observing the anniversary marched 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.

At least a dozen were arrested, mostly on charges of disorderly conduct, police said. But the movement is now a shadow of its mighty infancy, when a group of young people harnessed the power of a disillusioned nation and took to the streets chanting about corporate greed and inequality. Back then it was a rallying cry, a force to be reckoned with. But as the encampments were broken up and protesters lost a gathering place, Occupy in turn lost its ability to organize. The movement had grown too large too quickly. Without leaders or specific demands, what started as a protest against income inequality turned into an amorphous protest against everything wrong with the world. “We were there to occupy Wall Street,” Dutro says. “Not to talk about every social ill that we have.” The community that took shape in Zuccotti Park still exists, albeit in a far less cohesive form. Occupiers mostly keep in touch online through a smattering of websites and social networks. There are occasional conference calls and Occupyaffiliated newsletters. Meetings are generally only convened to organize around specific events, like the much-hyped May Day event that ultimately fizzled last spring. The movement’s remaining $85,000 in assets were frozen, though fundraising continues. “The meetings kind of collapsed under their own weight,” explains Marisa Holmes, a 26-year-old protester among the core organizers who helped Occupy rise up last fall. “They became overly concerned with financial decisions. They became bureaucratic.” In other words, they became a combustible microcosm of the society that Occupiers had decided to abandon — a new, equally flawed society with its own set of miniature hierarchies and toxic relationships. Even before the ouster at Zuccotti Park, the movement had been plagued with noise and sanitary problems, an inability to make decisions and a widening rift between the park’s full- time residents and the movement’s power players, most of whom no longer lived in the park. “We’ve always said that we want a new society,” Holmes says. “We’re not asking anything of Wall Street. We don’t expect anything in return.” Occupy organizers in other U.S. cities have also scattered to the winds in recent months. In Oakland, a metal fence surrounds the City Hall lawn that was the hub of protesters’ infamous tear-gassed, riotous clashes with police. The encampment is gone, as are the thousands who ventured west to help repeatedly shut down one of the nation’s largest ports. “I don’t think Occupy itself has an enormous future,” says Dr. Mark Naison, a professor at Fordham University in New York City. “I think that movements energized by Occupy have an enormous future.” Across the nation, there have been protests organized in the name of ending foreclosure, racial inequality, stop and frisk, debt: You name it, Occupy has claimed it. Occupy the Bronx. Occupy the Department of Education. Occupy the Hood. Occupy the Hamptons. Protesters opposing everything from liquor sales in Whiteclay, Neb., to illegal immigration in Birmingham, Ala., have used Occupy as a weapon to fight for their own causes. In Russia, opposition activists protesting President Vladimir Putin’s re-election to a third term have held a series of Occupy-style protests. Young “indignados” in Spain are joining unions and public servants to rally against higher taxes and cuts to public education and health care. “All around the world, that youthful spirit of revolt is alive and well,” says Kalle Lasn, cofounder of Adbusters, the Canadian magazine that helped ignite the movement. In New York, groups of friends who call themselves “affinity groups” still gather at each other’s apartments for dinner to talk about the future of Occupy. A few weeks ago, about 50 Occupiers gathered in a basement near Union Square to plan the anniversary.

Senior middle blocker Erin Sherman added 13 kills and six blocks for head coach Billina Donaldson’s squad, while junior setter Kelsey Martin had 34 assists and junior defensive specialist Nicole Ogg added a team-high 22 digs. Katie Bartlett had 14 kills for the Gray Wolves, while Michi Jiminez finished with 39 assists, 14 digs and three aces. Katie McKenty added a dozen kills and 12 digs in the loss, while Shlby Schuster had 10 kills and Kristin Kirk was credited with 10 digs.

Lots of things on Meyer’s to-do list this week COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — His team hasn’t lost and it has a quarterback who has stamped himself as one of the best in the nation. Yet as No. 16 Ohio State readies for its final non-conference game on Saturday against UAB, coach Urban Meyer knows he and his staff still have a lot of items to clean up. The very first thing, on the top of that list, is eliminating big plays on defense. “That is the most alarming thing,” Meyer said on Monday. “I’ve watched Ohio State’s defense for a long time, and I can’t remember a defense I’ve been around that’s given up this many (big plays). We’ve got to stop or we’ll lose a game.” Ohio State’s opponents have racked up 13 plays from scrimmage that picked up at least 20 yards. In Saturday’s come-from-behind 35-28 win over California, the Buckeyes cruised to a 20-7 lead at the half then surrendered gains of 36, 81, 30, 16 and 15 yards on the Golden Bears’ next five possessions to fall behind 21-20. After having no luck gaining yards or collecting first downs on their previous four possessions, behind quarterback Braxton Miller the Buckeyes marched 75 yards to regain the lead. Then it took just two plays for Cal to come right back and tie it. Brendan Bigelow, who gained 160 yards on just four carries, ran for 16 yards and then raced for 59 more, with the extrapoint kick tying it at 28 with 8:10 left. “That’s not acceptable,” Meyer said. So this week, rest assured, the defense will be going over every detail to try to find a solution. Part of the problem, of course, is that Bigelow made a couple of sensational runs, putting up the Ohio Stadium record for an opponent 82-yard run while twice putting his hand down on the turf for balance as he spun 360 degrees during contact before turning upfield and outrunning the defense. Beyond that, it’s a series of dominoes falling the wrong way. “Believe me, I laid awake Saturday night trying to watch that thing while everybody else in the house slept,” said defensive co-coordinator Luke Fickell, who served as interim head coach a year ago. “I couldn’t pinpoint one exact thing.” In his head he went back and forth: His players converged quickly, but did they overreact? Was it just sloppy tackling on a single play, or was it endemic of a deeper problem which might require personnel or scheme changes? “You can say guys had him, guys wrapped up, guys this, guys that — all I can see is that it’s not a lack of effort,” Fickell said. “Now, is it fundamentally sound in what we’re doing? No. When a guy slips out the back side for 81 yards, there’s nothing fundamentally sound about it. Did three guys have (a shot at) him? Yeah, but we’ve got to make sure we continue to stress the things that we’re supposed to do on those plays.” The members of the defense — which did end up preserving the win on Christian Bryant’s late interception to thwart the final Cal possession — recognize that they are going to face a lot of loud yelling and hard drills this week. Bryant was a game-saver at the end, but he also missed an openfield tackle on one of Bigelow’s big runs. “People are just taking for granted somebody already making the play and everybody’s not flying to the ball,” Bryant said when asked to pinpoint the problem. “But, like coach Meyer said, we’re going to work on tackling all this week.” While the defensive unit is trying to cut down on big plays, the offense will be trying to create even more. Ohio State has racked up seven rushing plays of more than 20 yards and nine pass completions going at least that far. Against Cal, Miller broke a tackle in the backfield and juked two defenders on a 55-yard run, plus See MEYER ‌| 8 Lady Eagles breeze past Miller Bryan Walters bwalters@heartlandpublications.com HEMLOCK, Ohio — The bus trip may have actually taken longer. The Eastern volleyball team had little trouble on the road Monday night after capturing a 25-4, 25-8, 25-3 victory over host Miller in a Tri-Valley Conference Hocking Division matchup in Perry County. The visiting Lady Eagles (10-1, 6-0 TVC Hocking) won their seventh straight match overall while extending their league winning streak to 26 matches, dating back to the 2010 campaign. Eastern — which allowed just 15 points against the Lady Falcons — only made it through the serving rotation once in the three games played. Thanks to 21 straight service points to start Game 3, Ally Hendrix finished the night by leading the service attack with 24 points. Erin Swatzel was next with 18 points, while Jordan Parker added 10 points to the winning cause. Maddie Rigsby chipped in eight points, and Gabby Hendrix had one point during her only serves of the night in Game 2. Swatzel led the net attack with 10 kills and five blocks, followed by Parker with nine kills and Rigsby with seven kills. Kiki Osborne added four kills for the Green and White, while Katie Keller and Ally Hendrix also had a kills apiece. Keller, Rigsby and Ally Hendrix also had a block apiece in the triumph. Gabby Hendrix led the defense with 12 digs, while Ally Hendrix led the passing game with 31 assists. Jacy Dutiel led Miller with two service points, and both points came in Game 2.

The Lady Knights (6-9) split their opening match of the day with Ravenswood by counts of 25-23 and 15-25, then the hosts posted consecutive wins over Poca (25-19, 25-10) and Tolsia (25-21, 25-11) to own a 5-1 overall mark headed into their final qualifying match against Wayne. The eventual-champion Lady Pioneers won both of those games by a count of 25-5 and 25-13, which eliminated PPHS from the championship finale.

URG women’s soccer struggles in MSC opener From Page 6 also hit on five big-gainers through the air — including the game-winning 72-yarder to Devin Smith that provided the margin of victory with just 3:26 left. Miller, selected as the Big Ten’s offensive player of the week on Monday, has been virtually unstoppable when running the ball. But the Buckeyes still need to find other alternatives on offense. Jordan Hall (87 yards on 17 carries in his season debut after recovering from an injury) showed signs of being an extra option at running back. Smith (5 catches, 145 yards, 2 TDs vs. Cal), Jake Stoneburner (2 TDs) and Corey Brown all are becoming more reliable targets for Miller. “The best thing that’s happened in the first few weeks is we’ve identified a ‘go-get-it’ guy on the outside that we did not have a year ago,” Meyer said, referring to Smith, Brown and Stoneburner. “(Opponents) are defending the run. Braxton’s going to do what he does: He makes guys miss and he’s one of the most dynamic runners in college football.” Randy Payton Special to OVP LEBANON, Tenn. — As uplifting as last Wednesday’s record-setting win at Kentucky Christian was to the University of Rio Grande women’s soccer team, Sunday afternoon’s follow-up performance in their Mid-South Conference opener at Cumberland University was just as demoralizing. The Bulldogs dominated the RedStorm from the outset, exploding for seven first half goals and cruising to a 9-0 win at Lindsey Don- Visit us at www.mydailysentinel.com nell Stadium-Kirk Field. Cumberland (5-1 overall, 1-0 MSC) outshot Rio, 380, and was the beneficiary of a third hat trick on the young season from Kelsey Langille. “We just didn’t show up. It’s the worst game I’ve seen a Rio girls’ team play in the four years I’ve been here,” said Rio Grande head coach Callum Morris. “For the first 45 minutes we were awful. I don’t know that any of our players got off the bus. We turned it up a little bit in the second half, but nowhere near the level we can play at. We certainly came down to earth with a massive bang.” The nine goals allowed were the most by a RedStorm team since an 8-0 loss at Lindsey Wilson on October 23, 2010. It also marked the third-highest total ever allowed by a Rio team, surpassed only by the 13 goals scored by Tif- Miscellaneous fin University in a 2006 loss and the 11 goals twice scored by Lindsey Wilson – once in the regular season and again in the MSC Tournament – during the 2009 campaign. Rhianne Parsons added a pair of goals in the winning effort for Cumberland, while Simone Quinn had three assists and Kaitlin Phillips finished with two assists of her own. The Bulldogs built a comfortable 4-0 lead inside the game’s first 25 minutes and then tacked on a trio of scores in a span of 1:37 just before the intermission to blow things wide open. Langille, who also had an assist, and Parsons did all of their offensive damage in the first half. “Cumberland stuck to its gameplan. They have some good players and a nice team, but they’re actually pretty simple to defend – we just didn’t do it. That explains it,” said Morris. “It was like nobody paid any attention to what we told them in training over the past few days. There’s not much more you can say about it.” Renee LaRose, Meaghan Lyons, Brenna Evilcizer and Shauna Gilpin also scored goals for CU, while Gilpin, Evilcizer and Taylor Nay had one assist each in the victory. Sophomore goal keeper Allison Keeney recorded 11 saves in a losing cause for the RedStorm (3-4, 0-1). Lindsay Kiton pitched the shutout in net for Cumberland. Rio Grande returns to action on Wednesday, hosting the University of the Cumberlands in a 5 p.m. start at Evan E. Davis Field. The men’s teams from the two schools will play afterwards at 7 p.m. �Wednesday, September 19, 2012 The Daily Sentinel • Page 9 www.mydailysentinel.com Wednesday, september 19, 2012 ComiCs/EntErtainmEnt Comics BLONDIE Dean Young/Denis Lebrun BEETLE BAILEY FUNKY WINKERBEAN HAGAR THE HORRIBLE HI & LOIS Mort Walker Today’s Answers Tom Batiuk Chris Browne Brian and Greg Walker THE LOCKHORNS MUTTS William Hoest Patrick McDonnell Jacquelene Bigar’s zITS THE FAMILY CIRCUS Bil Keane DENNIS THE MENACE Hank Ketchum Jerry Scott and Jim Borgman CONCEPTIS SUDOKU by Dave Green HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Wednesday, Sept. 19, 2012: This year you will be encouraged to greet change with greater ease.

The second-ranked RedStorm, who were playing their MSC opener, improved to 5-1 overall with a fifth straight win. The Bulldogs, who were also playing their league opener, slipped to 1-3 overall. Maccauro broke a scoreless deadlock by scoring on a free kick with 13 seconds left in the first half. The senior forward from Sao Paulo, Brazil, curved a shot from 25 yards out around the Cumberland defensive wall and past net-minder Sully Shattuck. Isberner, also a senior forward from Sao Paulo, Brazil, sealed the win with a goal at the 87:14 mark after he took a pass from senior midfielder Oliver Hewitt-Fisher down the center of the field and beat Shattuck near the top of the box. Rio Grande enjoyed a 20-7 edge in shots, including a first half try which ricocheted off the crossbar and another which hit the post in the second half. Senior goal keeper Jack Marchant was credited with two saves, including a stop on a breakaway by Cumberland’s Harry Mason in the 28th minute. Shattuck finished with seven saves in a losing cause for the Bulldogs. The RedStorm returns to action on Wednesday night, hosting the University of the Cumberlands in an MSC game at Evan E. Davis Field. The Daily Sentinel • Page 10 www.mydailysentinel.com Big 12 about to heat up after sleepy first three weeks Dave Skretta The Associated Press The Big 12’s big bore is about to finally come to an end. The league that dominated headlines for a variety of reasons during the offseason, not least of which was whether it would continue to exist, has been a blip on the national radar once games finally started against a dismal lineup of non-conference weaklings. Oklahoma State scoring 84 points against Savannah State. West Virginia’s Geno Smith throwing for 411 yards and 5 TDs against James Madison. Games against the likes of Western Illinois, Sam Houston State, Florida A&M and Grambling State over the past couple of weeks. Not much to get excited about. That all changes Saturday night, when sixth-ranked Oklahoma hosts No. 15 Kansas State in the first true showdown of the new-look conference. It’s a game that should help decide the league champion, and also give people outside the Big 12 a reason to start tuning in. “They’re an excellent team, so the preparation for them is always complicated,” said Sooners coach Bob Stoops, whose team will have had two weeks to prepare for the Wildcats. Still, it’s a difficult situation for the Sooners to be in. They appeared rather uninspired in a season-opening victory at UTEP, then routed Florida A&M two weeks ago, leaving Stoops to wonder whether his team is ready for a real test. “They look like an excellent football team. They’re doing an excellent job of running the football, like always, and using the quarterback to run it,” Stoops said. “It’ll be a challenge.” It’s just the start of challenges awaiting the Sooners. The offseason overhaul of the Big 12 resulted in the loss of Missouri and Texas A&M, two teams already saddled with losses in the SEC, and the addition of No. 8 West Virginia — the reigning Big East champion — and 17th-ranked TCU, the defending champions of the Mountain West. Both of them will see the Sooners down the road, along with everyone else in the round-robin Big 12. Oklahoma also has a non-conference game against No. 11 Notre Dame on Oct. 27, right in the middle of the league’s regular meat-grinder. While the conference has been beating up on punching bags, though, other leagues have played games that warranted more national attention. Florida and Tennessee pitted SEC rivals on the rise last Saturday, while the Fighting Irish visited then-No. 10 Michigan State. Even top-ranked Alabama booted around Michigan in a rare, season-opening showdown between power schools. Now, the Big 12 will be getting into the act, and Oklahoma and Kansas State aren’t the only conference schools ramping up the difficulty this weekend. Baylor takes on Louisiana-Monroe, the school giving the SEC all kinds of fits. TCU steps out of league play after a debut win against Kansas to take on Virginia. The Jayhawks visit Northern Illinois and the Mountaineers play a regional game against Maryland. The feeble early competition for the Big 12 can be traced to a few reasons. First, the league jockeyed its sched- ule relatively late to make room for the new additions, which left programs such as Oklahoma scrounging for nonconference games against the likes of UTEP. Second, the new members in the league have made life much more difficult. Missouri and Texas A&M were a combined 9-9 in conference games and barely finished above .500 last season, while West Virginia won 10 games and TCU is coming off another 11-win season. Finally, the larger footprint of the Big 12 — nearly 1,500 miles separates Texas Tech and West Virginia — has left teams scheduling regionally out of conference. So the Red Raiders are playing nearby New Mexico, Texas is making a short trip to Ole Miss, and the Mountaineers scheduled a game against Virginia school James Madison in suburban Washington, D.C. “That James Madison thing over in D.C. was great for our fans. Attendance was awesome, fan support was awesome,” West Virginia coach Dana Holgorsen said. “We want to play regional games.” The byproduct, though, is gaudy statistics and not much else. Smith is an astonishing 66 of 75 for 734 yards and nine touchdowns in a pair of blowout wins, and is second nationally in total offense. Oklahoma State leads the nation at better than 686 yards per game, while West Virginia, Texas Tech are Baylor also among the top 10 in the country. Nice stats, sure — but not the best prep for what’s still to come. “It’s going to get tougher this week. Athletically, it’s going to get tougher,” Holgorsen conceded. “It’s going to get harder and harder in the Big 12.” Mistakes hurt Browns in loss to Bengals BEREA, Ohio (AP) — Browns linebacker D’Qwell Jackson started to guess the number of missed tackles in Sunday’s loss at Cincinnati but stopped himself before tossing out a figure. “A ton,” he said. Coach Pat Shurmur wouldn’t divulge the count, either, but hinted that is was substantial. “You guys can probably come up with a number,” he told reporters. Too many. Poor tackling, penalties, blown coverage by the secondary and other mistakes contributed to a 34-27 loss to the Bengals and negated several positives for the winless Browns, who received sensational, bounceback performances from rookie running back Trent Richardson and quarterback Brandon Weeden, but still came up short. On Monday, Shurmur and his coaching staff went over the game tape and worked with the young Browns on “corrections.” There’s plenty to fix. And it should probably start on special teams. The Browns fell into a 7-0 hole less than two minutes into the game, when Bengals return man Adam “Pacman” Jones took back a punt 81 yards for a touchdown. On his return, Jones escaped six tackles, leaving a trail of Browns scattered across the field at Paul Brown Stadium. The first miss was by rookie gunner Johnson Bademosi, who seemed to have Jones wrapped up but let him slip away. “I had an opportunity to make a play and I didn’t,” Bademosi lamented. “That’s my job. We left way too many plays on the field and that was one of them.” Shurmur was disappointed that what seemed to be a routine punt turned into something spectacular. “The ball was punted in an area where we had a guy in his face,” Shurmur sad. “If you don’t make that tackle, then you have to make him go sideways. He didn’t make the tackle, and Pacman went vertical. We had other opportunities to get him on the ground and we didn’t do it. No excuses for that.” The poor tackling was a problem all day, but particularly on Jones’ return and a 50-yard TD by Bengals wide receiver Andrew Hawkins, who took a short pass from a scrambling Andy Dalton on a busted play and turned it into a back-breaking score that gave Cincinnati a 31-17 lead with 10:44 remaining. Browns rookie cornerback Trevin Wade had Hawkins covered tightly as he ran a crossing route. But when Dalton ran from pressure, Wade allowed Hawkins to drift away and then couldn’t recover in time to make the tackle. But as Hawkins picked his way down the sideline, there were several other Browns defenders, including cornerback Buster Skrine, who had a chance to bring him down but couldn’t.
