Meigs VA offers veterans bonus assistance

Charlene Hoeflich

choeflich@mydailysentinel.com

POMEROY — While the deadline for filing for an Ohio veterans’
bonus is still a year away, George
Hoffman, Meigs County’s veteran
service officer, is encouraging veterans to apply now.
“If they need help in filling out
the on-line application form, I’m
here and I’m happy to help,” said
Hoffman, who stressed the need
to get the word out so that nobody
is left behind … that the veterans
who qualify for a bonus can get

the benefit of the money now.
In 2009, Ohio voters approved a
constitutional amendment allowing the state to sell $200 million
worth of bonds to pay bonuses to
the men and women who served
or are currently serving in the
Persian Gulf, Afghanistan and
Iraq. Giving a bonus to reward
those who serve in the military
is a tradition which dates back to
the Civil War.
The latest figures from the Ohio
Department of Veterans Service
show that bonuses for Ohio veterans now total $45 million which

is an indication that thousands
of eligible Ohio veterans have
not claimed their service benefit.
Hoffman said that he is sure there
are hundreds of veterans in Meigs
County who had not applied and
may not even realize they qualify
or know how to apply, and it is
those he wants to reach out to
help them secure the benefit to
which they are entitled.
The Ohio Veterans Bonus is
available to veterans who served
more than 90 days active duty, not
for training, during the periods
of the Persian Gulf from Aug. 2,

1990 through March 3, 1991, for
Afghanistan from Oct. 7, 2001
through a date yet to be determined, and for Iraq from March
19, 2003.
Veterans may receive $100 for
each month of active duty service in any of the locations up to
a maximum $1000 bonus. Eligible
veterans who were medically discharged or medically retired from
service due to combat-related disabilities sustained during their
service in those areas, can apply
for a $1000 bonus, regardless of
their length of service.

Veterans who received medical
discharges, and the families of
those who were killed in action
or died of disease related to service to their country are eligible
for bonuses of up to $6,500. For
more information on the bonus
program, or assistance in applying, just visit the Meigs County
Veterans Service Office located
in the Meigs County Courthouse
Annex on Mulberry Heights in
Pomeroy.
The deadline for veterans to apply for a bonus is Dec. 31, 2013.

MIDDLEPORT — The
annual fall plant exchange
sponsored by Meigs County
Master Gardeners will be
held at 12:30 p.m. tomorrow
(Wednesday) at Dave Diles
Park in Middleport.
Hal Kneen, Athens-Meigs
County Agriculture and Natural Resources educator, will
be there to answer questions
and give fall gardening tips
beginning at noon before the
actual exchange begins.
While the event is called

an “exchange” — that’s
where you bring plants and/
or seeds from home and exchange them for something
different — it is more than
that because while many of
those attending have much
to share, others have nothing, but are welcome to take
plants home with them anyway.
Residents are encouraged
to try their hand at growing
new plants. Several Master
Gardeners are expected to
be on hand to answer ques-

Sale of forfeited vehicles
brings money to county
Staff Report

mdsnews@mydailysentinel.com

RUTLAND — A sale of forfeited and surplus vehicles
collected more than $35,000 recently in Meigs County.
An auction held at the Rutland Township Offices sold
over three dozen forfeited and surplus vehicles. Some of
the vehicles included in the sale were declared surplus by
the Meigs County Commissioners, with the majority of the
vehicles seized in the late 1990s as a result of the criminal
case involving the late Fred Priddy.
The seized vehicles had been stored by Rutland Township. Cost of the sale and the court costs will be paid from
the money collected.

to make a better guess as to his
motivation for torturing you like
this. The important thing is to not
let any of this interfere with your
work or with your relationships
in the office. Being a good sport
can take you only so far before you
begin to look like a spineless fool.
You can either take a few shots
back at people, or let everyone
know privately that you are finished as the office patsy. Try to
focus on the customers and on doing the best job you can, and maybe that will rub off. Office pranks
can quickly turn to harassment.

Dear Dr. Brothers: I’m in my
50s and single, but have been
dating off and on for a year now.
I’m a painter and have always
hung with the artsy crowd, but a
nice guy I met is completely outside that world: He’s a car salesman. I can’t really get too serious
about him until I figure out if this

is important. I just don’t know
anyone who isn’t a writer, artist,
musician, dancer or actor, and I’m
afraid of getting any closer to him.
Am I being snobby or stupid, or
does this make sense? — U.B.
Dear U.B.: Social circles in
adulthood can be just as defined and specific as the cliques
most of us remember from high
school. Since they persist and
grow throughout the years, adult
cliques have a lot more depth than
those we put together back in
school, based on who liked what
TV show, hairstyle or rock band.
So there is no need to feel sheepish about being more comfortable
around people like you. You may
want to think ahead and contemplate how this man will fit in with
your group. Will he be a fish out
of water, or will he be relaxed and
interested in what everyone else
brings to the table? He may show
a desire to explore his creative

side, should he have one, and become a fledgling artist of some
sort himself.
The point is to let him be himself, and see if the two of you
can grow together. If you find
you have nothing in common —
which very well could happen —
then you probably will agree to
part ways. If you find you have a
lack of respect for his job because
you don’t know what it takes to
be successful in his field, at least
take the time to ask him about it
before you reject him. You might
even find that his work requires a
great deal of creativity of a different sort. You’ve come this far with
him; there must be a little spark
between you that’s worth protecting for now.

“When I took office, I felt that seizing property from
persons engaged in crime is an important tool for law
enforcement,” said Meigs County Prosecutor Colleen
Williams. “It is just as important to see that these assets are sold with the proceeds being used to help the
taxpayers of Meigs County offset the cost of prosecution.”
“Even though this process took a great deal of time
and resources, Meigs County will realize a profit from
those who chose to violate the law. I will continue to
make sure that people who commit crime are not only
criminally prosecuted, but will make every effort to see
that, when possible, criminal’s assets will be seized and
used to benefit the people of Meigs County.”

Medicare fines over readmitted patients

Letters to The Editor

Ricardo Alonso-Zaldivar
The Associated Press

Reader thinks it’s time
for new treasurer
Dear Editor,
After the recent public
notice that our county treasurer’s property is being
sold by the banks, I feel that
more needs to be said. Our
county treasurer has failed
us in many aspects from
his job performance to his
own personal financial business which has affected this
county. [I found] out firsthand of his financial situation when someone showed
up at my door to change the
locks.
To my understanding,
Steve sent out a company
to change the locks so a realtor could show the house
as needed. Come to find out
there was an error in the
records at the courthouse.
The tax records showed my
address with his name as
owner. Wow, what a shock!
We had to go through quite
a few steps to correct this
situation. Due to his personal financial situation, I was
caught up in a stressful situation and had to verify the
ownership of my residence.
When I spoke to Steve
about making a monthly
payment plan to catch up on
my property taxes he said,
“no”. I also discovered in all
of this, that our own county
treasurer has over $100,000
in delinquent property
taxes, he has put himself
on two payment plans and
has not been charged penalties or interest to some of
[these] delinquent properties.
I understand that people
do come upon hard times,
but why has this been allowed to go so far? Has he
used his position for self
gain? I for one will say yes
he has. The residents of
Gallia County need to wake
up to the facts. He has used
his name long enough to
ride the gravy train, and
it is time to stop and elect
him out of office. I feel that
if you support an incumbent candidate in an election, you are saying that he

has done a good job for our
county and our residents. I,
for one, will not say that in
this election. I, for one, am
glad we have a choice in this
election, and we have a candidate working hard to win
this election and willing to
work with the residents of
our county to make monthly
payment plans on property
taxes for those who struggle
daily with finances. I, for
one, will vote for Pam Riley
to be our next county treasurer, and I hope you will
join me, because it time for
a change.

Reader shares loss in
hopes of helping others
Dear Editor,
Each year, over 700,000
women experience pregnancy loss; 26,000 of them
lose their babies after the
sixth month of pregnancy,
and 20,000 babies die, every year, in their first month
of life. My baby was one of
those numbers.
My son Matthew Liam
Rupe was born premature
at just 22 weeks on March
19, 2004. He passed away
on my chest on March 21,
2004. He weighed 15.6
ounces and was 10 inches
long. My beautiful tiny son.
Our family now walks every
year in the March for Babies
in honor of his short life and
babies like him.
Pregnancy/infant
loss
is more common than I
ever imagined, and it does
not discriminate. It affects
women of all ages, of all
races, of all walks of life.
It’s not just something that
happens to “other people,”
it can happen to anyone.
Hundreds of thousands
of women go through the
death of their child every
year, yet no one talks about
it. Because it’s become such
a taboo, “hush-hush” subject in our society, women
are often forced to suffer in
silence. Alone. We’re told to
“get over it,” or “try again,”

but I can tell you from experience, losing your baby
is not something you just
“move on” from.
It’s impossible to move
forward and heal without
talking about the experience, and without the support of others. I have shared
my story on a recently
launched website called Faces of Loss, Faces of Hope
(www.facesofloss.com).
On this site, hundreds of
women, like me, are sharing
their stories of pregnancy/
infant loss, along with a
picture of their face. Each
story is categorized by type
and stage of loss, subject,
and city/state, so that other
women who have recently
experienced a loss can find
stories similar to their own.
So that they can know they
are not alone. It is our hope
that by telling our stories,
and showing our faces to
the world, taboos will be
broken, lines of communication will be opened, and
healing can begin for the 85
women in this country who
go through the pain of finding out their child has died,
every hour, of every single
day.
October 15 is National
Pregnancy and Infant Loss
Awareness day. I ask that
you do a story on or around
this day to help us spread
the word and let women
know they are not alone.
I ask that you help us give
them a voice and a chance
to share their stories with
the world. One in every
four women will experience pregnancy/infant loss
at some time in their life.
Even if some don’t end up
experiencing it themselves,
someone they know —
their friend, their sister,
their coworker — will. This
is a story that is incredibly relevant, and incredibly
needed for everyone. Thank
you for your time and consideration.
Sincerely,
Michelle Glick
Gallia County, Ohio

WASHINGTON — If you or an elderly
relative have been hospitalized recently and
noticed extra attention when the time came
to be discharged, there’s more to it than good
customer service.
As of Monday, Medicare will start fining hospitals that have too many patients
readmitted within 30 days of discharge due
to complications. The penalties are part
of a broader push under President Barack
Obama’s health care law to improve quality
while also trying to save taxpayers money.
About two-thirds of the hospitals serving
Medicare patients, or some 2,200 facilities,
will be hit with penalties averaging around
$125,000 per facility this coming year, according to government estimates.
Data to assess the penalties have been
collected and crunched, and Medicare has
shared the results with individual hospitals.
Medicare plans to post details online later in
October, and people can look up how their
community hospitals performed by using the
agency’s “Hospital Compare” website.
It adds up to a new way of doing business
for hospitals, and they have scrambled to
prepare for well over a year. They are working on ways to improve communication with
rehabilitation centers and doctors who follow patients after they’re released, as well as
connecting individually with patients.
“There is a lot of activity at the hospital
level to straighten out our internal processes,” said Nancy Foster, vice president for
quality and safety at the American Hospital Association. “We are also spreading our
wings a little and reaching outside the hospital, to the extent that we can, to make sure
patients are getting the ongoing treatment
they need.”
Still, industry officials say they have misgivings about being held liable for circumstances beyond their control. They also
complain that facilities serving low-income
people, including many major teaching hospitals, are much more likely to be fined, raising questions of fairness.
“Readmissions are partially within the
control of the hospital and partially within
the control of others,” Foster said.
Consumer advocates say Medicare’s
nudge to hospitals is long overdue and not
nearly stiff enough.
“It’s modest, but it’s a start,” said Dr.
John Santa, director of the Consumer Reports Health Ratings Center. “Should we
be surprised that industry is objecting? You
would expect them to object to anything that
changes the status quo.”
For the first year, the penalty is capped at
1 percent of a hospital’s Medicare payments.
The overwhelming majority of penalized facilities will pay less. Also, for now, hospitals
are only being measured on three medical
conditions: heart attacks, heart failure and
pneumonia.
Under the health care law, the penal-

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.

Letters to the Editor
Letters to the editor should be limited to 300 words. All

Letters should be in good taste, addressing

accepted for publication.

ties gradually will rise until 3 percent of
Medicare payments to hospitals are at risk.
Medicare is considering holding hospitals
accountable on four more measures: joint replacements, stenting, heart bypass and treatment of stroke.
If General Motors and Toyota issue warranties for their vehicles, hospitals should
have some similar obligation when a patient gets a new knee or a stent to relieve a
blocked artery, Santa contends. “People go
to the hospital to get their problem solved,
not to have to come back,” he said.
Excessive rates of readmission are only
part of the problem of high costs and uneven
quality in the U.S. health care system. While
some estimates put readmission rates as
high as 20 percent, a congressional agency
says the level of preventable readmissions
is much lower. About 12 percent of Medicare beneficiaries who are hospitalized are
later readmitted for a potentially preventable
problem, said the Medicare Payment Advisory Commission, known as MedPAC.
Foster, the hospital association official,
said medication mix-ups account for a big
share of problems. Many Medicare beneficiaries are coping with multiple chronic
conditions, and it’s not unusual for their
medication lists to be changed in the hospital. But their doctors outside sometimes
don’t get the word; other times, the patients
themselves don’t understand there’s been a
change.
Another issue is making sure patients go
to their required follow-up appointments.
Medicare deputy administrator Jonathan
Blum said he thinks hospitals have gotten
the message.
“Clearly it’s captured their attention,” said
Blum. “It’s galvanized the hospital industry
on ways to reduce unnecessary readmissions. It’s forced more parts of the health
care system to work together to ensure that
patients have much smoother transitions.”
MedPAC, the congressional advisory
group, has produced research findings that
back up the industry’s assertion that hospitals serving the poor, including major teaching facilities, are more likely to face penalties. But for now, Blum said Medicare is not
inclined to grade on the curve.
“We have really tried to address and study
this issue,” said Blum. “If you look at the
data, there are hospitals that serve a low-income patient mix and do very well on these
measures. It seems to us that hospitals that
serve low-income people can control readmissions very well.”
Under Obama’s health care overhaul,
Medicare is pursuing efforts to try to improve quality and lower costs. They include
rewarding hospitals for quality results, and
encouraging hospitals, nursing homes and
medical practice groups to join in “accountable care organizations.” Dozens of pilot programs are under way. The jury is still out on
the results.

As race stands, Obama within reach of second term
DES MOINES, Iowa
(AP) — Five weeks to
Election Day, President
Barack Obama is within
reach of the 270 electoral
votes needed to win a second term. Republican Mitt
Romney’s path to victory
is narrowing.
To overtake Obama,
Romney would need to
quickly gain the upper
hand in nearly all of the
nine states where he and
Obama are competing the
hardest.
Polls show the president
with a steady lead in many
of them as Romney looks
to shift the dynamics of
the race, starting with
their first debate Wednesday in Denver.
“We’d rather be us than
them,” says Jennifer Psaki,
an Obama spokeswoman.
But
Romney’s
running mate Paul Ryan says
there’s time for the GOP
ticket to win. “In these
kinds of races people focus
near the end, and that’s
what’s happening now,” he
told “Fox News Sunday.”
If the election were held
today, an Associated Press
analysis shows Obama
would win at least 271
electoral votes, with likely
victories in crucial Ohio
and Iowa along with 19
other states and the District of Columbia. Romney
would win 23 states for a
total of 206.
To oust the Democratic
incumbent, Romney would
need to take up-for-grabs
Florida, Colorado, Nevada, North Carolina, New
Hampshire and Virginia,
which would put him at
267 votes, and upend
Obama in either Ohio or
Iowa.
The AP analysis isn’t
meant to be predictive.
Rather, it is intended to
provide a snapshot of a
race that until recently has
been stubbornly close in
the small number of the
most contested states.
It is based on a review
of public and private polls,
television advertising and
numerous interviews with
campaign and party officials as well as Republican
and Democratic strategists
in the competitive states
and in Washington.
In the final weeks before

the Nov. 6 vote, Obama is
enjoying a burst of momentum and has benefited from
growing optimism about
the economy as well as a
series of Romney stumbles.
Most notably, a secret
video surfaced recently
showing the Republican
nominee telling a group of
donors that 47 percent of
Americans consider themselves victims dependent
on the government.
To be sure, much could
change in the coming
weeks, which will feature
three presidential and one
vice presidential debate. A
host of unknowns, both foreign and domestic, could
rock the campaign, knocking Obama off course and
giving Romney a boost in
the homestretch.
Barring that, Romney’s
challenge is formidable.
Obama started the campaign with a slew of electoral-rich coastal states
already in his win column.
From the outset, Romney
faced fewer paths to cobbling together the stateby-state victories needed
to reach the magic number.
It’s grown even narrower in recent weeks,
as Romney has seen his
standing slip in polls in
Ohio, with 18 electoral
votes, and Iowa, with six.
That forced him to abandon plans to try to challenge Obama on traditionally Democratic turf so he
could redouble his efforts
in Ohio and Iowa, as well
as Colorado, Florida, New
Hampshire, North Carolina, Nevada and Virginia.
Romney is hoping that
come Election Day, onthe-fence voters tip his
way. But there are hurdles
there, too.
Early voting is under
way in dozens of states,
and national and key states
surveys show undecided
voters feel more favorably
toward Obama than Romney.
The Republican is in a
tight battle with Obama
in Florida, as well as Colorado, North Carolina and
Nevada.
But Ohio’s shifting landscape illustrates Romney’s
troubles over the past few
weeks.

Republicans and Democrats agree that Obama’s
solid lead in public and
private polling in the state
is for real. Over the past
month, the president has
benefited from an improving economic situation in
the state; its 7.2 percent
unemployment rate is below the 8.1 percent national average. Obama’s team
also attributes his Ohio
edge to the auto bailout
and GM plant expansions
in eastern Ohio.
Obama and his campaign
have hammered Romney
on his tax policies, arguing
that the former Massachusetts governor favors the
rich while the president
as a defender of everyone
else.
The president has seen
the same good fortune in
Iowa. A poll released Saturday by The Des Moines
Register illustrates his advantage, showing Obama
with 49 percent to 45 percent for Romney. The margin of error was plus or minus 3.5 percentage points.
“It’s a direct result of
the time and resources
he’s been forced to spend
here,” said Iowa Republican strategist John Stineman.
Indeed, Obama intently
focused on the state ahead
of an early voting period
that began last week. He
campaigned in Iowa aggressively this summer
and dumped in a ton of
TV advertising, much of
it depicting Romney as
wealthy and out-of-touch
with working Americans.
Obama doesn’t just have
the wind at his back in
those states.
The president also appears to be in stronger
shape than Romney in
Virginia, which has 13
electoral votes, and in
New Hampshire, with four
votes, even though Romney vacations often in the
state where he has a lakeside home. Romney and
GOP allies are being outspent in that state considerably, a sign of trouble for
the Republican challenger.
Underscoring his challenges, Romney also has
been forced to spend millions of dollars a week defending himself in North

Carolina, a GOP-leaning
state that’s more conservative than most of the
states that will decide the
election.
Polls now show a competitive race there. Democrats
boast of having registered
250,000 new voters in the
state since April 2011. It’s
an eye-popping total in a
state that Obama won by
just 14,000 votes four years
ago. A flood of new voters,
presumably a chunk of them
Democrats, could help keep
that state within Obama’s
reach this year.

Also, Romney’s effort
to challenge Obama in
Democratic-leaning Wisconsin, home state of
running mate Paul Ryan,
appears to have fizzled.
Despite millions of dollars
spent on TV in the last few
weeks by both sides, polls
show Obama with a clear
lead in Wisconsin.
Romney’s goal of forcing
Obama to defend Michigan — Romney’s native
state — and Pennsylvania
never materialized.

was whether or not Romney and his campaign
could succeed in expanding the parameters of the
battleground,” said Tad
Devine, a top adviser to
2000 Democratic nominee
Al Gore and 2004 nominee
John Kerry. “They have
not been able to do that.”
All this has left Romney
with an extraordinarily
tight path and few options
but to bear down in the

though, is running out.

Panthers double up
River Valley, 54-27

CHESAPEAKE, Ohio — Despite scoring a season-high
in points, the River Valley football team dropped its fifth
straight decision Friday night during a 54-27 setback
to host Chesapeake in a Week 6 Ohio Valley Conference
matchup in Lawrence County.
The visiting Raiders (1-5, 0-1 OVC) fell behind 27-0 in
the early moments of the second quarter, but rallied with
consecutive scores to pull within 27-13 with less than four
minutes remaining in the first half.
The Panthers (2-4, 1-0 OVC), however, answered with 13
points before half to take a 40-13 intermission edge, then
tacked on another 14 points in the third canto for a sizable
54-13 advantage. RVHS picked up a pair of scores in late in
the game to wrap up the 27-point setback.
Chesapeake outgained the Raiders by a 542-279 margin
in total offense, which included a sizable 448-187 edge in
the rushing game. River Valley finished the night minus-1
in turnover differential and was also penalized five times
for 45 yards, while CHS was flagged twice for 15 yards.
Chesapeake led 7-0 just 70 seconds into regulation, as Javon Thompson hauled in a 50-yard touchdown pass from
Caleb Lindsey at the 10:50 mark of the first quarter. Jacob
Collins added TD runs of 37 and 65 yards on the Panthers’
next two drives, resulting in a 19-0 edge with 2:14 left in
the opening period.
Collins added a 63-yard scamper at the 11:37 mark of
the second period for a 27-0 cushion, but the Raiders’ Kyle
Brown countered with TD runs of nine and two yards to

Rio Grande topples No. 1 Lindsey Wilson in OT
Randy Payton
Special to OVP

RIO GRANDE, Ohio – As
things turned out, it was a No. 1
vs. No. 2 matchup that certainly
lived up to the hype.
Senior forward Richard Isberner scored off of a short pass from
teammate Caio Cruz with 3:47
remaining in overtime to lift second-ranked Rio Grande past topranked and defending national
champion Lindsey Wilson, 3-2,
Saturday night, in a showdown of
Mid-South Conference men’s soccer powers at Evan E. Davis Field.
The RedStorm picked up their
ninth straight victory, improving
to 9-1 overall and 5-0 in the MSC.
The Blue Raiders saw their 33game winning streak snapped,
slipping to 10-1 overall and 6-1 in
league play.
Ironically, it also marked the
first time in the series that the
home team came away victorious.
“It was a classic, classic game
between, if not the two best teams
in the country, certainly two teams
that are among the top ones in
the NAIA,” said Rio Grande head
coach Scott Morrissey, whose
RedStorm lost a pair of narrow
decisions to Lindsey Wilson in
2011. “The ones that were here
got their money’s worth.”
Isberner’s game-winning goal
was his second marker of the
night. The native of Sao Paulo,
Brazil, who was the reigning MSC
Offensive Player of the Week, also

had an assist in the win.
“Richie was exceptional tonight – as good as I’ve ever seen
him play,” Morrissey said of the
first team All-America selection
last season. “He played under
control and he did it with guys
all over him for most of the
night.”
Isberner gave Rio a 1-0 lead at
the 23:29 mark of the opening half
when he scored on a penalty kick
and helped extend the cushion to
2-0 just under nine minutes later
with a crossing pass to the middle of the box that led to a nifty
goal by senior midfielder Oliver
Hewitt-Fisher.
The Blue Raiders came off the
mat in the second half, though,
scoring twice in a span of 19 minutes to tie it up.
Albert Edwards got head coach
Ray Wells’ squad on the scoreboard by finding the back of the
net on a penalty kick at the 53:58
mark and Lwandiso Gonya’s goal
at 72:48 knotted the score at 2-2.
“I thought we played about as
well as we could’ve expected in
the first half. We told the kids at
halftime that the key was managing the first 15 minutes of
the second half and we didn’t
do that. We let them back in
it,” Morrissey said. “But give
them credit, too. They came
out in the second half and took
it to us. They forced the issue
and, for a while there, we didn’t
answer.”

Southern’s Wolfe and
Hettinger compete in
Race of Champions
Alex Hawley

HILLIARD, Ohio — Kody Wolfe and Justin
Hettinger of the Southern cross country team
competed at the Hilliard Bradley Race of Champions Saturday in Franklin County.
There were 134 competitors in the race, which
was won by Westerville North’s Jacob Dumford.
Dumford finished with a time of 15:35.77, just
one one-hundredth of a second ahead of teammate
Kent Ford. Dublin Coffman’s John Sotos finished
third with a time of 15:54.7.
Southern’s Wolfe finished fifth on the day with a
personal best time of 15:53.15. Hettinger also ran
a personal best with a time of 18:21.01. Hettinger
finished 127th on the day.

The overtime period proved
just as intense.
Lindsey Wilson had a chance
to win with 5:30 left in the extra session, but Rio goal keeper
Jack Marchant made a dazzling
stop of Sicelo Buthelezi’s pointblank shot off of a rebound of a
free kick by Gonya.
The RedStorm’s game-winner
came moments later when a crossing pass into the box by junior midfielder Maxi Viera bounced off of
the foot of Cruz – a sophomore midfielder from Brazil – and landed in
front of Isberner, who rifled a shot
by Blue Raiders’ net-minder Yuta
Nomura to seal the win and set off a
wild celebration.
“Before we started the overtime,
we decided we were going to go
3-up and go after it,” Morrissey
said. “We were a little fortunate that
we got the ball in the final third of
the field, but we weren’t going to sit
back. Defensively, I thought we did
a good job – aside from a few moments. Jack made an unbelievable
stop after the free kick that kept us
alive. I think emotions got the better of both teams at times, but I still
felt like we had it in us even after
they tied it up in the second half.”
Marchant was credited with
four saves in the victory, while Nomura stopped one shot.
Rio held a 14-11 advantage in
total shots, while the two teams
were whistled for 17 fouls each.

Lindsey Wilson too much for RedStorm women
Randy Payton
Special to OVP

RIO GRANDE, Ohio — Mia Persson scored a pair of goals and Laerke
Lillelund Michaelsen handed out a
pair of assists to lead third-ranked
Lindsey Wilson College to a 5-0 win
over the University of Rio Grande,
Saturday afternoon, in a Mid-South
Conference women’s soccer match at
sun-splashed Evan E. Davis Field.
Katarina Simic, Cecilia Ekstrand
and Elisha Fry also had goals for the
Blue Raiders, who improved to 7-2-1
overall and 4-0 in the MSC.
Rio Grande, which suffered a third
straight loss, dropped to 4-7 overall
and 1-4 in league play.

The RedStorm was outshot, 33-2,
and threatened to score just once in
the contest.
Simic got the scoring underway
with an unassisted marker 12-1/2 minutes into the game and Persson scored
her first goal just 46 seconds later off a
feed from Saeda Sueki to make it 2-0.
The Blue Raiders tacked on a pair of
goal within 90 seconds of each other
inside the opening five minutes of the
second stanza to officially settle the
issue.
Ekstrand scored at 47:47 and Persson found the net again at 49:19, with
Lilleund Michaelsen assisting on both,
to extend the cushion to 4-0.
Lindsey Wilson’s final goal came
with 4:25 left to play when Fry scored
off of a free kick after being fouled just

outside of the box.
Rio Grande’s lone scoring opportunity came on a breakaway by sophomore forward Allana Shelton with just
over 16 minutes left in the first half,
but Lindsey Wilson net-minder Josephine Frigge made the save to keep
the shutout intact.
Frigge went the first 69:32 in goal
before giving way to Loren Cerafice,
who also had a save in her 20:28 of action.
Sophomore goal keeper Allison
Keeney stopped 11 shots for the RedStorm.
Rio Grande played a fourth straight
contest without the services of freshman forward Courtney Young - the
team’s third-leading scorer - as she
continues to nurse a leg injury.

Panthers
From Page 6
pull the guests to within
two scores with 3:43 left before halftime.
Collins ran 66 yards to
paydirt on the first play of
the ensuing drive for a 3413 lead with 3:31 remaining, then Thompson hauled
in a 15-yard scoring strike
from Lindsey with no time
left on the clock for a 40-13
intermission advantage.
Collins added his fifth
and final rushing TD of
the night a minute into the
third quarter after rumbling

69 yards for a 47-13 advantage. Nate Jones followed
with a 50-yard scoring run
at the 7:24 mark to conclude Chesapeake’s scoring
at 54-13.
Ethan
Dovenbarger
hauled in a 42-yard TD pass
from Dayton Hardway with
6:48 left in regulation for a
54-19 contest. Austin Davies
rounded out the scoring on
a two-yard run with 1:37 left
in the game. River Valley
claimed a 14-10 advantage
in first downs and had twice
as many rushing yards as
passing yards on the night.

Miscellaneous

Brown led the Raiders ground attack with
30 carries for 126 yards,
while Hardway added two
rushes for 36 yards. Austin
Whobrey had 13 attempts
for 14 yards and Austin
Davies had five totes for
11 yards.
Whobrey was 2-of-8
passing for 23 yards with
two interceptions, while

Dovenbarger led the wideouts with three catches for
65 yards, followed by Jared Mabe and Jon Kostival

with a catch apiece for 14
and 13 yards respectively.

attack with 258 rushing
yards on seven carries, followed by Jones with five
attempts for 105 yards.

5-of-8 passing for 94 yards
and two scores, while

HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Tuesday, Oct.
2, 2012:
This year you express an unusual
amount of serenity and caring. You will
do whatever you need to do in order to
keep the peace. You still could have a
tendency to be overserious. That, too,
will pass. You are willing to adapt and
change, especially with family members
and roommates. Look at real estate as a
possible money source. If you are single,
a friendship could play a strong role in
your romantic life. If you are attached,
your partnerships take a higher priority than in the past, particularly those
involved with financial matters. TAURUS
seems to connect with you on an unusually deep level.
The Stars Show the Kind of Day You’ll
Have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average;
2-So-so; 1-Difficult
ARIES (March 21-April 19)
HHH Conversation revitalizes you
and encourages a different perspective.
A partner might be too intimidated to be
as proactive as you are. A discussion
with someone close results in support
and nurturing. Curb a tendency to push
your limits in a money matter ... you will
get your share. Tonight: Roll with the
moment.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20)
HHHHH You gain new perspectives
quickly and see a situation in a different vein, as a result. You demonstrate
unusual flexibility. You have a way about
you that appeals to associates, friends
and family members — as long as you
are just yourself. Be willing to manifest
greater security and ease for yourself
and others. Tonight: Go for what you
want.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20)
HHH Be more visual in your thinking.
A conversation with a respected friend
helps you grasp more possibilities. Your
creativity might not be so strong if you
try to force yourself through a problem.
Verbalize more of what you are thinking
in order to get feedback. Tonight: Not to
be found.
CANCER (June 21-July 22)
HHHH Listen to a partner’s or loved
one’s suggestion. This person tends
to put an interesting spin on situations,
which helps you identify with others and
better understand what is happening.
His or her delightful words encourage
your mind to wander. Tonight: Where the
crowds are.
LEO (July 23- Aug. 22)
HHHH Others look to you to take
the lead. You naturally enjoy yourself
with even the most intense or negative
people in your life. It appears that your
mood is contagious. A conversation,
though serious, has much compassion

behind it. A partner or loved one has a
vision that affects you. Tonight: A must
appearance.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
HHHHH Reach out for new information and different ways of seeing a situation. If you can come up with several
different approaches, it could turn out
far better than you’d originally thought
possible. Use your unusual appeal later
today. Tonight: Be willing to dream.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
HHHH Deal with a change in a partner directly. This person has become
unusually verbose or relaxed. This could
be a good sign; however, it demands
that you make an adjustment. Weigh
the pros and cons, if you would like.
Ultimately, you’ll know which way to go.
Tonight: Dinner with a favorite person.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
HHHH Others might be unusually
difficult and touchy, but your persistence
wins the day. Try not to challenge someone or get into a power play. Ultimately,
it will not be worth it. Test out an idea on
those who could be affected. Tonight: All
smiles.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
HHHH Stay level. Understand what
has to be accomplished. You might find it
difficult to home in on what is happening,
as you are deep in thought. Be careful
when using mechanical objects and driving cars. An authority figure admires the
way you handle yourself. Tonight: Stop
what you’re doing and take a break.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
HHHHH Your creativity and determination prove to be unfamiliar benefits. Be
willing to walk away from your comfort
zone and look past restrictions. A more
neutral environment with fewer judgments will enhance your relationships on
all fronts. Tonight: Don’t forget to call a
loved one at a distance.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
HHHH If you have a hankering to
stay home, do. If you work, consider
working from home if possible. In the
long run, it might be a good idea to consider having a home-based business.
Express your caring to a loved one — it
always is nice to get a hug. Tonight: The
homeward-bound theme continues.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)
HHHHH You tend to find the right
words at the right time; meanwhile, others seem to be grasping when it comes
to their own self-expression. Touch base
with a neighbor or relative. This tie easily can be neglected, but ultimately it is
instrumental to your life. Tonight: Find a
pal to hang with.

Buckeyes find unity in win at Michigan State
COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) —
In the moments immediately
after Ohio State’s 17-16 victory
over Michigan State, players and
coaches took turns talking about
what the win meant to them and
how much they cared about each
other.
“Words can’t explain what
went on in that locker room, the
excitement,” wide receiver Corey
Brown said. “Everybody was just
telling each other how much they
love them.”
Urban Meyer estimates that
in his 26 years of coaching —
including 11 as the head man at
Bowling Green, Utah, Florida
and now Ohio State — he’s only
seen six or seven teams that ever
truly “came together.”
The latest one to reach that degree of unity did it sometime in
the midst of that difficult game in
East Lansing, Mich.
“It’s been a team that’s been
pushed around for a while,” Meyer said of the squad he inherited
which sank to a dismal 6-7 record
last season while being assailed

around the country for NCAA
violations on the watch of former
coach Jim Tressel. “A lot of things
have happened, a lot of things I’m
probably not even aware of. But
I could tell that it wasn’t a close
team. It was a team with a lot of
excuses. But (the togetherness)
materialized over the weekend.”
Although they hardly put on
a dominating performance, the
Buckeyes (5-0, 1-0 Big Ten) now
find themselves ranked No. 12
and a unified team heading into
Saturday’s showdown at home
against No. 21 Nebraska.
Meyer knows he doesn’t have a
perfect team. Far from it. He’d be
the first to point out every little
shortcoming of his Buckeyes.
But now he believes that a
rather motley collection of guys
is all in this together. And that’s
a start.
Until they were pushed and
pushed hard by Michigan State,
Meyer said he didn’t know if the
Buckeyes would have it inside to
push back.
“You can’t tell that, not until

you get into tough situations,” he
said. “It’s when you get to places
like this. It’s when you play a
team that’s as good as you are,
that it starts to show up. If that
team wasn’t together, that team
loses that game. No doubt.”
In other words, Meyer, his
staff and his players credit their
togetherness for giving them the
winning edge in a close game.
“It was a 12-round boxing
match,” said offensive co-coordinator and line coach Ed Warinner. “Both teams slugged it out.
Both teams played hard. There
are a lot of plays that could have
gone one way or the other, and
we made just enough to win the
game. That all validates how hard
this team has worked, the transition they’ve been through, what
we’ve asked them to give.”
The defense limited the Spartans’ physical, intimidating
rushing attack, which came in
averaging 176 yards per game,
to just 34 yards. Le’Veon Bell,
third in the nation at 152 yards
a game on the ground, finished

with only 46 on 17 carries.
The offense moved the ball
in fits and starts but rolled 75
yards after taking the opening
kickoff to score a touchdown,
then added another late in the
third quarter for a 17-13 lead.
Then everyone pulled together
to make the advantage stand,
with the defense continually
making big plays and the offense
taking over with over 4 minutes
left and running out the clock to
preserve the victory.
The Buckeyes clearly lost their
way a year ago through all the turmoil and trials on and off the field.
This is a year of transition, trying
to regain the pride and confidence
of the past.
The coaching staff thought
the players would come around,
although no one knew precisely
when.
“It’s something when a new
head coach comes in,” said defensive line coach Mike Vrabel, held
over by Meyer from last year’s
staff. “The players have to understand that things are different and

that change is going to happen.
It’s all positive things, but it takes
time. Until players really realize
that they’re the ones who go out
and have to make the plays on Saturdays it’s tough for them to buy
in. I think Saturday was a huge
step for us.”
Meyer wouldn’t say which of
his teams at the four schools he
has coached had bonded as teammates so well that they were almost inseparable. But he does
know that it’s a necessity for almost all successful teams.
“I’m not saying we’re a great
team,” he said. “We at least have a
chance of going to do some good
things together because I felt like
they came together.”
Brown said when it came time
for him to step before his teammates in the Spartan Stadium
locker room, he expressed how he
felt about everyone in the room
and how proud he was.
“We’re just going to build on
that win and keep going,” he said.

No. 25 Baylor falls to No. 9 West Virginia 70-63
MORGANTOWN, W.Va.
(AP) — Nick Florence record’s effort came up one
touchdown short against
No. 9 West Virginia.
The Baylor quarterback
broke Heisman Trophywinning predecessor Robert Griffin III’s school
record with 581 yards passing but ran out of time as
the 25th-ranked Bears fell
to the Mountaineers 70-63
on Saturday in the highestscoring Big 12 game ever.
“It’s what I love about
this team,” Florence said.
“The fight never dies.”
Florence threw for five
touchdowns but couldn’t
match the output of West
Virginia’s Geno Smith, who
tied a conference mark
with eight TD passes and
narrowly missed another
one with 656 yards passing.
“It is what it is,” Florence said. “As an offense,
you can’t control what happens with the defense. It
was a fun place to play. The
crowd was good. I think we

fed off them a little bit.”
The loss snapped Baylor’s nine-game winning
streak, the second-longest
in the nation.
“We fought hard,” said
Baylor coach Art Briles.
“But we didn’t respond well
enough to win the game.”
School, conference and
FBS marks all got rewritten
in this one.
The game also set a new
record for the most points
scored in a game involving
a team ranked in The Associated Press poll. The previous mark of 124 was set
in No. 12 Oklahoma’s 82-42
win over Colorado in 1980.
How wild was it? Smith,
the early Heisman frontrunner, had more TD
passes than incompletions
(six). He finished 45 of 51
and still doesn’t have an interception this season.
“Can you please tell me
how you can improve on
that?” West Virginia coach
Dana Holgorsen said.
Maybe not on offense,
but both defenses have

plenty of work to do.
West Virginia amassed
a school-record 807 yards
and the teams combined
for 1,507 yards of offense
and 67 first downs. Six
receivers had at least 100
yards receiving.
The Bears’ Terrance Williams set a Big 12 record
with 314 yards receiving. The old mark was set
minutes earlier by West
Virginia’s Stedman Bailey,
who had 303 yards and a
school-record five TDs.
Williams’ 8-yard scoring
catch brought Baylor (3-1)
within 70-63 with 3:08 left.
But Dustin Garrison ran
for 17 yards on third down
and the Mountaineers ran
out the clock.
“We expect to score that
many points a game,” Florence said. “But the goal is
to score more than our opponent and we came up a
little short today.”
The combined 19 touchdowns tied an FBS mark,
last reached when Navy
beat North Texas 74-62 in

2007. That matchup set the
FBS record for most points
in a regulation game at 136.
Baylor, meanwhile, tied
an FBS mark for the most
points scored by a losing
team.
Among the other records, Smith set school
single-game marks for
completions, yards and
touchdown passes.
Bailey and Tavon Austin
became the first FBS teammates with 200 yards receiving since 2007.
Going back to the Orange Bowl, West Virginia
has scored 10 touchdowns
three times in its last five
games.
“Statistically, it’s my best
game ever,” Smith said.
“But I think it’s more about
the team, and I think it just
lets us know that we’re going to have to battle it out
every week against some
really tough teams in the
Big 12.
“I could care less about a
Heisman Trophy. The big
thing for us what that we

won the game today. We’re
on a mission, and we want
to win them all.”
West Virginia went ahead
for good early in the third
quarter, but Baylor almost
always had an answer.
Austin made long touchdown grabs three minutes
apart while Baylor punted
and missed a long field
goal. Smith stayed in a
groove, throwing three
passes of 45 yards or more
in the third quarter alone.
His 47-yarder to Bailey set
up Andrew Buie’s second
short TD run for a 56-35
lead.
The way this game was
going, though, no cushion
was safe.
Williams caught a 37yard scoring pass from
Florence and, after Baylor’s
defense forced a rare punt,
Florence’s sneak brought
the Bears within 56-49, and
there was still 14:14 left.
But Bailey scored on TD
grabs of 87 and 39 yards
after that.
Holgorsen talked at

length about how impatient he got watching
Maryland’s offense run the
clock down before each
snap last week.
There was no chance of a
slowdown from Baylor.
The teams scored on 10
of their final 13 possessions of the first half. Seven
of those drives lasted under two minutes.
Smith, whose passing
yardage total was 5 yards
shy of the Big 12 mark,
completed a school-record
14 straight passes at one
point. After a dropped
pass, Smith completed 12
more in a row.
Smith’s fourth TD pass
came with 29 seconds left
until halftime, but that was
more than enough time for
Florence. On second down
he threw down the left
sideline to Lanear Sampson, who juked two defenders and went 67 yards untouched to tie the score at
35-35.
“Not every Big 12 game
is like this,” Holgorsen said.
