Ferguson Poling, 91 Dixie A. Smith, 92 Sheriff’s office responds to 15th meth lab Sarah Hawley shawley@heartlandpublications.com MEIGS COUNTY — The Meigs County Sheriff’s Office responded to its 15th methamphetamine lab case of 2012 late last week. Meigs County Sheriff Robert Beegle reporter that officers found the remains of a shake and bake meth lab. Mark A. Fooce, of Racine, was arrested and charged with assembly or possession of chemicals necessary for illegal manufacturing, a felony of the third degree; possession of a schedule I drug, a felony of the fourth degree; and misdemeanor possession of marijuana. Fooce appeared in Meigs County Court and bond was set at $50,000 with 10 percent permitted. Fooce was remanded to the custody of the sheriff. This is the second meth case handled by the Sheriff’s Office in the past two weeks and the fifth since midJuly. The Sheriff’s Office responded to a tip concerning a shake and bake meth lab in a wooded area off Derry Lane in Salem Township on Sept. 24. The office is still investigating the case. In early September, a shake and bake meth lab was discovered inside a duffel bag taken during the arrest of Ryan Miller, 25, of Portland. The lab was discovered while deputies were completing an inventory of the duffel bag at the Sheriff’s Office. On Aug. 1, David B. Dillard, 51, and Emily A. Dillard, 29, were arrested following the discovery of a meth lab at his residence on Ohio 143. David Dillard was indicted by the Meigs County Grand Jury in late August on three felony counts in connection with the meth lab. He was charged with illegal manufacture of drugs, a first degree felony; illegal cultivation of marijuana, a third degree felony; and endangering children, a third degree felony. Dillard was released on his own recognizance following arraignment. Emil Dillard was also indicted by the Meigs County Grand Jury in late August on three felony counts in connection with the meth lab. She was charged with illegal manu- facture of drugs, a first degree felony; illegal cultivation of marijuana, a third degree felony; and endangering children, a third degree felony. Dillard was released on her own recognizance following arraignment. She is represented by James S. Sweeney. An active one pot, shake and bake meth lab was found inside the home, along with three fire arms. Two females were charged in connection with the methamphetamine lab discovered on July 13 in Middleport. Sgt. Gilkey of the Major Crimes Unit seized a two-pot, shake and bake meth lab. Tina Rayburn, 40, and Cynthia Casteel were charged in the case. Rayburn was indicted by the grand jury on one count illegal manufacture of drugs, a first degree felony; one count illegal assembly or possession of chemicals, a first degree felony; one count endangering children, a third degree felony; and one count illegal assembly or possession of chemicals for the manufacture of drugs, a third degree felony. She was released on her own recognizance. Casteel was indicted by the grand jury on one count illegal manufacture of drugs, a first degree felony; one count illegal assembly or possession of chemicals, a first degree felony; one count endangering children, a third degree felony; and one count illegal assembly or possession of chemicals for the manufacture of drugs, a third degree felony.

Syndicate *** HMC to host 12th Annual Respiratory Symposium GALLIPOLIS — The Holzer Health System Respiratory Therapy department is currently planning its 12th Annual Respiratory Symposium. The one-day presentation will give respiratory care professionals the opportunity to learn and review different aspects and concepts in the respiratory field. Scheduled for Friday, October 12, the event will take place at the Holzer Health System Education and Conference Center, located at Holzer Medical Center in Gallipolis.

Portions of the project may be located in the 100 year floodplain. The proposed project cannot be undertaken in any other location as there is no practical alternative for the location of the projects. The CHIP project can only take place where there is a need and it is known that the need may be targeted in these base flood areas. Therefore, it is the judgment of the Meigs County Commissioners that the benefits to the LMI residents that live in these areas in various locations in Meigs County, outweighs consideration of Executive Orders 11988 and 11990.

Adkins, MD, a physician specializing in emergency and trauma medicine, has recently joined the medical staff at Pleasant Valley Hospital, according to William A. Barker, Jr., senior vice-president of administration of the nonprofit healthcare facility. “We welcome Dr. Adkins to the dedicated team of physicians at Pleasant Valley Hospital. He is a worthy addition to our organization by providing internal medicine services to our patients in our emergency and trauma center here at Pleasant Valley Hospital. We are very proud to bring home Dr. Adkins, our Ravenswood High School alumnus,” said Barker. Adkins received his medical education in 2006 from the Marshall University Joan C. Edwards School of Medicine in Huntington, West Virginia. He completed his residency at the Department of Family and Community Health at the Marshal University Joan C. School of Medicine in 2009. Prior to coming to Pleasant Valley Hospital, Adkins was the chief of the medical staff at the Pocahontas Community Hospital in Pocahontas, Iowa. During this time, Adkins complet- Dr. Zachary Adkins ed training at the National Healing Institute and became the staff physician at the Wound Healing Center.

He is also certified in outdoor emergency care and swift water rescue. Adkins and his wife, Marybeth, have two children, Mason and Braxton. COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Ohio voters next month will decide whether the state should move forward with a proposal to change the process for redrawing its political districts. Debate over Issue 2 has been contentious. It proposes a 12-member commission of state residents to re-draw Ohio’s legislative and congressional maps every 10 years. Currently, the state Legislature draws the U.S. House districts, and the five-member state apportionment board draws legislative districts. The governor, secretary of state, auditor and two legislative appointees make up the apportionment board. There’s broad agreement that Ohio’s system needs repair, but considerable disagreement about whether Issue 2 offers the right fix. Voters First, which supports the plan, argues that there’s too much self-interest in the current process. “This is a very simple plan. It ends the corrupt system we have today that lets politicians design their own districts,” said Sandy Theis, a spokeswoman for the labor-backed coalition. “It will take that power away from them and give it to an independent citizens’ commission that would have to do all its business in public.” The first nine members of the commission would be selected by lottery from 42 applicants placed into Republican, Democratic and unaffiliated pools by a panel of appeals court judges. The first nine members selected would pick the other three. Protect Your Vote Ohio, the opposition campaign, says the lengthy constitutional amendment is rife with risky unknowns. It closely resembles a commission that California voters approved in 2010. “While you have a process (in Ohio) now that’s accountable to taxpayers because it’s conducted by elected officials, voters would have no recourse in terms of holding these commissioners accountable or for repealing their decisions,” said spokesman Carlo LoParo. Opponents believe unaffiliated commissioners would be particularly susceptible to political pressure at map-drawing time. The Ohio State Bar Association and Ohio Judicial Conference oppose the issue out of concern that appellate judges also would be vulnerable to political pressure. Theis said the concern is misplaced. “There have been dozens of the state’s top legal and constitutional scholars who signed an open letter that explained that OSBA’s concerns are totally misguided,” she said. “They’ve done a great disservice because they’ve entered the political arena and peddled inaccurate information.” The feud between the two sides has carried over to the Ohio Elections Commission and the state Ballot Board, pitting its largely Democratic backers against largely Republican opponents. Republicans have drawn Ohio’s U.S. House maps for 20 years, and its legislative maps for 30. Opponents include the Ohio Republican Party, Ohio Chamber of Commerce, Ohio Right to Life and state associations of CPAs, retail merchants, and farmers. Supporters include the League of Women Voters, ProgressOhio, Ohio Citizen Action, Planned Parenthood and the Ohio Council of Churches. Another ballot issue, called Issue 1, asks voters whether they’d like to call a convention to “revise, alter, or amend” the Ohio Constitution. Such a convention would include discussion of redistricting and term limits and a cleanup of existing constitutional language, among other tasks. The state’s governing document emerged from the state’s first constitutional convention in Chillicothe in 1802. It was revisited at conventions in 1851 and 1912. Under state law, the question of a constitutional convention comes before voters every two decades. Four previous ballot issues calling for a convention have been rejected. There has been no significant support or opposition campaign this year. The map-drawing and constitutional convention issues are on the Nov. 6 ballot. Soda industry: Vending machines will show calories NEW YORK (AP) — As criticism of sugary sodas intensifies, Coke, Pepsi and Dr Pepper are rolling out new vending machines that will put calorie counts right at your fingertips. The move comes ahead of a regulation that would require restaurant chains and vending machines to post the information as early as next year, although the specifics for complying with the requirement are still being worked out. “They’re seeing the writing on the wall and want to say that it’s corporate responsibility,” said Mike Jacobson, executive director of the Center for Science in the Public Interest, which advocates for food safety and nutrition. Still, he noted that it was an important step forward. “Currently, people don’t think about calories when they go up to a vending machine,” he said. “Having the calories right on the button will help them make choices.” The American Beverage Association, which represents Coca- Cola Co., PepsiCo Inc. and Dr Pepper Snapple Group Inc., said the calorie counts will be on the buttons people press to select a drink. Vending machines will also feature small decals, such as “Calories Count: Check Then Choose.” The vending machines will launch in Chicago and San Antonio municipal buildings in 2013 before appearing nationally. Without providing specifics, the American Beverage Association said the machines will also boost the availability of lowerand zero-calorie drinks. “We have market research that says consumers really like this — they like choice, they like the ability to make choices,” said Susan Neely, president of the industry group. A mock-up of a new machine provided by Coca-Cola showed 20-ounce bottles of its flagship drink and Sprite inside vending machines, with labels on the buttons stating “240 calories.” The soda industry has been under fire for fueling rising obesity rates. Last month, New York City approved a first-in-the-nation plan to prohibit the sale of sugary drinks over 16 ounces in the city’s restaurants, movie theaters and stadiums. Notably, the beverage industry fought aggressively to fight the ban and hasn’t ruled out taking legal action to stop it from taking effect this spring. This November, voters in Richmond, Calif. will also decide whether to approve a penny-perounce tax on sugary drinks. The decision to post calorie information follows the Supreme Court’s decision this summer to uphold President Barack Obama’s health care overhaul, which includes a regulation that would require restaurant chains and with more than 20 locations and vending operators with more than 20 machines to post calorie information. McDonald’s Corp. also announced last month that it would begin posting calorie information on its menus nationwide. Like the soda industry, the fast-food giant said it was a voluntary decision and not spurred by the pending requirement. In addition to public health concerns, soft drink makers are dealing with shifting consumer habits. Soda consumption per person has been declining in the U.S. since 1998, according to the Beverage Digest. The decline is partly the result of the growing number of options such as flavored waters, bottled teas and sports drinks — which Coke, Pepsi and Dr Pepper also make. As a result, Coke, Pepsi and Dr Pepper are focusing on developing more diet drinks, as well as expanding into other drinks to reduce their reliance on sodas. There is no timetable for when all vending machines will be converted. Coke, Pepsi and Dr Pepper often work with third-party operators to provide drinks in vending machines; Neely said the companies will work with those outside operators to convert all machines over time. Vending machines account for about 13 percent of sales volume, a figure that has remained relatively unchanged in recent years, according to Beverage Digest. Soda consumption is often identified for playing a role in rising obesity rates, although other factors such as a lack of physical activity and overeating also contribute. Last month, the New England Journal of Medicine published a decades-long study of more than 33,000 Americans that showed sugary beverages interact with genes that affect weight, meaning they are especially harmful to people who are hereditarily predisposed to weight gain. Bonnie Sashin, who works as a communications director for a nonprofit in Brookline, Mass., says she stays away from sugary drinks, limiting herself to a can of Diet Dr Pepper or Diet Coke about twice a month. But she thought the move to display calorie information on vending machines was a positive development. “Anything that helps us be more educated about calories is a good thing,” Sashin said. Romney: The US must help Syrian rebels oust Assad LEXINGTON, Va. (AP) — Mitt Romney declared on Monday the U.S. must join other nations in helping arm Syrian rebels to oust Syrian President Bashar Assad, casting President Barack Obama’s efforts as weak and part of a broader lack of leadership in the Middle East and around the globe. Hoping to bolster his own foreign policy credentials, the Republican presidential challenger said he would identify and organize those in the Syrian opposition who share American values, then work with American allies to “ensure they obtain the arms they need to defeat Assad’s tanks, helicopters and fighter jets.” “It is essential that we develop influence with those forces in Syria that will one day lead a country that sits at the heart of the Middle East,” Romney said. In a wide-ranging address at the Virginia Military Institute, Romney attempted to establish an image for voters of himself as a man who would be a strong commander in chief. In his remarks, he criticized Obama’s policies toward Iraq, Afghanistan, Iran and Israel. Nowhere did he emphasize a different course as strongly as in Syria. Romney cast the civil war there as a proxy conflict with Iran — and said it’s in America’s interest to court an opposition likely to play a key role in leading a future Syria. Activists say more than 32,000 people have died in Syria’s conflict, which began 19 months ago with Assad’s government cracking down on protests. That crackdown was followed by armed rebellion in many parts of the country and, eventually, a full-scale civil war. Obama’s administration still seeks a peaceful political transition, even though the president acknowledged in August that the likelihood of a soft landing for the conflict “seems pretty distant.” Romney aides said he wasn’t calling for the U.S. to directly arm the rebels. Nor has Obama. The president’s re-election campaign dismissed Romney’s remarks as “saber-rattling” and accused the Republican of refusing to outline just how his policies would differ from the incumbent’s. The administration has been quietly coordinating with partners in the region who want to provide military assistance. But Obama has opposed directly providing weapons to the rebels or using U.S. air power to prevent Syrian jets from flying. The U.S. role in coordination is currently aimed at maintaining some measure of control over which groups receive weapons. Administration officials have been pressing America’s Arab allies for months about the danger of equipment such as shoulder-launched rockets and other heavy weaponry falling into the wrong hands. The official line is that any arms assistance to the rebels only further militarizes a conflict that should be solved through a peaceful transition strategy. Privately, officials concede that countries such as Saudi Arabia and Qatar have made different decisions, and the U.S. is working with them so that concerns about extremism and the proliferation of certain types of weapons are taken into account in their decision-making. The head of the Turkeybased Syrian National Council, the main Syrian opposition group, said Romney’s comments were the “right statement.” Abdelbaset Sieda said he was not disappointed in the U.S. president, but added that “Obama must do more to stop the killing.” When pressed, Romney policy advisers refused to say if the Republican would support or encourage allies to deliver heavier weaponry, including shoulder-fired rockets, to the opposition forces in Syria. Romney’s comments come at a critical time in part because the violence in Syria has spilled over the border and into Turkey, with fighting continuing Monday for a sixth straight day. Defense Secretary Leon Panetta warned Saturday the conflict between those neighboring countries could embroil the broader region. There also is turmoil in the wider Middle East and North Africa. Beyond Syria, Iran is believed to be pursuing a nuclear weapon, talks between Israel and the Palestinians are moribund and anti-American protests recently erupted in several countries. Last month, attackers linked to al-Qaida killed four Americans in Libya, including U.S. Ambassador Chris Stevens. The Republican nominee used his Monday speech to try to paint Democrat Obama as a weak leader who has limited America’s influence on global affairs. Still, Romney highlighted the work of “patriots of both parties” and looked to cast himself as a statesman and part of a long and bipartisan tradition of American leadership in the world. He said the U.S. should use its power “wisely, with solemnity and without false pride, but also firmly and actively.” ����������� ������ �� ������ ������­€€� ��‚������ƒ�������„� � -9,, ����������� � ���� ����=HS\L� � ���������������� � �������������� ������ ������� ����������� � ��� ����� ����� ����� ����������������������� ���������������������������� �� ����������������� ��� ���� ���������� HOT DEAL ������������������������������ ������������������������������� � ��� ��� ���� ������ ����������� ������ ��������� ��� �������� ������ ������ ������ ����� � ���������� �������� �� ���� ������ ���� ����� � ����������������������������� �������� �� �� 2011 Chev Camaro 2LT �� only 15,000 miles, Sunroof, Heads-Up Display, RS Pack $26,990 SMITH CHEVROLET BUICK 1911 Eastern Ave 740-446-2282 Gallipolis www.smithsuperstore.com 60360625 � � ��� ���������������� � ������� ������ ������� 7YV[LJ[�@V\Y�/VTL $99.00 Customer Installation Charge. 36-Month Monitoring Agreement required at $35.99 per month ($1,295.64).

Ohio auditor: State needs access to student IDs COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Auditor Dave Yost told state education leaders Monday that an Ohio law blocking the state from accessing students’ personal information is hampering district tracking efforts and wasting money. Under a state law aimed at protecting children’s privacy, the Ohio Department of Education must keep track of nearly 1.9 million public school students across the state without names, addresses or Social Security numbers. Yost’s office is in the midst of a statewide investigation into potential attendance tampering by Ohio school districts, and he said auditors are finding the arrangement unwieldy. At a state Board of Education briefing on the attendance probe, Yost urged the 19-member panel to support lifting restrictions on student IDs and moving the Statewide Student Identifier, or SSID, system in-house. The Republican says the shift could save taxpayers an estimated $430,000 a year. “This SSID is a stupid policy,” Yost said. “It makes no sense, it doesn’t help anybody, it costs money, and it makes ODE a less efficient manager.” From Page 1 Also contributing to the program geared to promoting better health for children, was the Meigs County Health Department. Funding was provided by the NEW YORK (AP) — Wal-Mart Stores Inc. and American Express are rolling out a prepaid card that they say offers unique services designed to help shoppers manage and control their everyday finances. The two companies said Monday that Bluebird, begun during a pilot program late last year, acts like a checking account but without the fees that have increasingly frustrated shoppers. It will have no minimum balance and no monthly, annual or overdraft fees. They say the only fees that will be associated with the card will be transparent and within the user’s control, such as out of network ATM withdrawals by consumers who don’t use direct deposit. Instead, what Bluebird will be loaded with is a number of features, including the ability to deposit a check to one’s Bluebird account by simply taking a picture with a smart phone. It will also offer the same fraud protections in an event the card is stolen or lost as other standard cards. The move comes as American Express is looking for new ways to expand its customer base beyond its traditional wealthy clientele. For Wal-Mart, the Bluebird service is the latest financial product offering to be pushed by the world’s largest retailer, but it’s also the most comprehensive.

And now, two games into playing in a new conference, the Mountaineers look every bit like one of the teams to beat in the Big 12. Smith passed for four touchdowns, Andrew Buie ran for 207 yards and two touchdowns and West Virginia came away with another wild victory, this time taking down the 11th- ranked Longhorns 48-45 on Saturday night. A week after West Virginia ran up 70 points on Baylor at home, the Mountaineers turned their first road game in their new league into another high-scoring, heart-pounding affair. “Every week, we’re going to go out and have fun,” Smith said after he and his teammates celebrated the win with several thousand West Virginia fans tucked into a corner of Royal-Memorial Stadium. West Virginia coach Dana Holgorsen called the win “pretty cool.” Smith, who has 24 touchdown passes this season without an interception, hit Stedman Bailey with a 6-yard score with 10:50 left to play. Buie’s second touchdown gave the Mountaineers a 10-point lead late with 1:18 left. But West Virginia (5-0, 2-0) didn’t seal the win until recovering an onside kick with 14 seconds left after Texas scored a touchdown on a pass from David Ash to Marquise Goodwin. Joe Bergeron scored four touchdowns, all on short runs, for Texas (4-1, 1-1), which is 2-7 at home in conference games the since 2010. Texas has lost seven in a row to ranked opponents. Smith was 25-of-35 passing for 268 yards in a game he had to be sharp.

Local volleyball teams fare well Bryan Walters bwalters@heartlandpublications.com JACKSON, Ohio — The postseason road is now set for six Ohio volleyball teams in the Ohio Valley Publishing area, and three of those local squads earned home games following the 2011 sectional tournament drawings for divisions II, III and IV held Sunday at Jackson High School. Half of the local teams — Eastern South Gallia and Southern — will open the second season at home, while Gallia Academy, River Valley and Meigs will begin postseason play on the road. Two of those clubs — Eastern and Gallia Academy — will also have to win only one match to make it to districts, while River Valley, Meigs, Southern and South Gallia must win twice to advance to district play. Starting in D-4, Eastern (18-1) came away with the area’s highest seeding with a No. 1 and will host the winner of the Southern-Belpre contest on Thursday, Oct. 18, in a home sectional final. That contest will start at 6 p.m. South Gallia (11-8) earned the sixth-seed and host Ironton St. Joe on Monday, Oct. 15, in a D-4 sectional semifinal contest at 6 p.m. against the 11th-seeded Lady Flyers (2-13).

Meigs (3-14) earned the 13-seed and will travel to fourth-seeded Coal Grove (16-3) on Tuesday, Oct. 16, in a D-3 sectional semifinal at 6 p.m. The winner moves on to the D-3 sectional final on Saturday, Oct. 20, and will host the winner of the Wheelersburg-Fairland contest at 4 p.m. Complete brackets of the 2012 volleyball postseason are available on the web at www.seodab.org Did Buckeyes run up score? You be the judge COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — What’s brewing with the 2012 Ohio State Buckeyes … BUCKEYES BUZZ: Some Nebraska fans thought Ohio State coach Urban Meyer was running up the score. Here are the facts. The Cornhuskers trailed 56-38 when they got the ball for the final time after a punt with 3:17 left in Saturday’s Big Ten rout. On their second play, QB Taylor Martinez fumbled and Ohio State’s Michael Bennett recovered at the Nebraska 26. The Buckeyes stayed on the ground, killing time. Carlos Hyde gained 3, 3 and 4 yards for a first down at the 16. Hyde then took a handoff around right end and scored Ohio State’s seventh touchdown of the game for a 63-38 score. That’s the way the game would end. To be clear, no one in the Nebraska locker room, including coach Bo Pelini, thought the Buckeyes were piling on. Some sports writers, and fans, weighed in on Twitter. Almost no one backed the few Nebraska fans. One tweet by another Huskers backer summed it up. In so many words, he (or she) said, “It’s all on you, Huskers. NU not going anywhere, Mr. Meyer.” In other words, it’s not like Nebraska can’t get even. The teams are in the same league, after all. POLL DANCING: The Buckeyes climbed four spots to No. 8 in the latest AP Top 25 on Sunday. The four-rung improvement was the second best in the poll, trailing only the six spots Florida moved up to get to No. 4. The only other Big Ten team to make the elite 25 was Michigan, sneaking in at No. 25. Cincinnati made its first appearance this season, grabbing the No. 21 spot. Ohio University is just three points out of the poll, right on the heels of the Wolverines. Ohio State, because it is on probation, is not eligible to be included in the coaches poll. As a result — for the first time ever — no Big Ten team was listed in that ranking. THEY SAID IT: QB Braxton Miller, asked if the Buckeyes could get better on offense: “I think it can be better. We made a couple minor mistakes out there. We’ll watch film. So I’ll say we’ve got a lot more to do.” See SCORE ‌| 8 �Tuesday, October 9, 2012 60360500 60347311 STATE OF OWNERSHIP MANAGEMENT AND CIRCULATION 1. Title of publication: The Daily Sentinel 2.

Marshall Hood had eight saves for Ohio Valley Christian, while Luke Mace had four saves for the victors. Ohio Valley Christian fell to 8-4-1 on the season with the loss.

Smith From Page 6 second quarter fumble that the Longhorns recovered for a touchdown. “They put me under duress a bit,” Smith said. “I just get up and continue to play.” Smith continues to make all the big throws when the Mountaineers need it, and he had to in a game where every possession was critical. West Virginia went 5 for 5 on fourth downs. “There weren’t a lot of times when we weren’t draped all over the guy when he was trying to throw,” Texas defensive coordinator Manny Diaz said. “You have to give him a lot of credit, his receivers a lot of credit.” Buie was just as important to West Virginia’s ability to carve up the Texas defense. He averaged 6.7 yards against a Longhorns unit that pressured Smith but has struggled with tackling all season. “We just lined up and ran it right at them,” Holgorsen said. The fumble recovery for a touchdown sparked a firsthalf rally that brought Texas back from a 21-7 deficit to a 28-27 halftime lead. The Longhorns forced another fumble by Smith in the fourth. But Texas couldn’t capitalize when an errant snap sailed past Ash, leading to a 16-yard loss before Anthony Fera missed a 41-yard field goal attempt that would have tied the score at 41-41. “That really hurt us,” Texas coach Mack Brown said. Fera, who transferred from Penn State, missed the first four games with a groin injury Ash, the No. 2-rate passer in the nation behind Smith, was 22 of 29 for 269 yards and one touchdown. He took the blame for miscue on the snap. “That was my fault. I let the play clock bleed down too low. I should have caught it,” Ash said. Bergeron scored on runs of 2, 2, 1 and 4 yards. His last score gave Texas a 38-34 lead with 29 seconds left in the third quarter before Smith and Buie marched the Moun- taineers right back down the field. Smith threw touchdown passes of 8 yards to Bailey and 40 yards to Tavon Austin in the first quarter and West Virginia led 21-7 after Buie’s first touchdown run. Texas turned momentum and awoke the record home crowd of 101,851 when Alex Okafor sacked Smith and Jackson Jeffcoat recovered in the end zone to the tie the game. Bergeron’s third touchdown of the first half put Texas ahead 28-27 at halftime. Texas chewed up nine min- utes on its first drive of the third quarter, moving to a 38yard field goal by Fera. But Smith simply worked faster and West Virginia’s drives resulted in touchdowns. Smith’s second touchdown pass to Bailey put the Mountaineers up 34-31 and the teams traded the lead two more times before it was all over. “We knew it was going to be a dogfight,” Texas safety Kenny Vaccaro said. “It’s frustrating and we left a lot on the table.” Score From Page 6 UP NEXT: The Buckeyes play at Indiana (2-3, 0-2) on Saturday at 8 p.m. On one hand, as the records indicate, the Hoosiers are still struggling. On the other, they gave Michigan State a handful of hard times before falling 31-27. The Spartans had to score the final 14 points to grab the win in Bloomington, Ind. THEY SAID IT II: Meyer, who said he thought his team was ahead of schedule from where he thought it would be, asked what the future might hold: “We had a bunch of recruits in that locker room afterwards. So you start talking about the future, that’s the name of the game — go out and recruit new players and continue and build and keep going.” SEEN ON TWITTER: Dennis Dodd of CBSsports.com: “Worst decision of 2011: Ohio State not self-imposing bowl ban.” STAT PAGE: Ohio State is second in the country in passes intercepted with 10 (Fresno State has 12). … Buckeyes have scored 53 points off turnovers; opponents have scored 3 off Ohio State giveaways. … Ohio State is plus-5 in turnover differential. … Hyde had a careerhigh 140 yards and a career-best four TDs.

Matters involving someone at a distance, travel or education appear to be very fortunate. You might want to schedule a trip or two this year. If you are single, you could meet someone very intense who draws you in. The compulsive quality of this relationship might scare many an easygoing Libra, yet most of you will explore the possibilities. If you are attached, you will experience a lot of positive moments despite the fact that your relationship has weathered some hard times in the past. You are like two magnets when you’re together. Stay open with each other, and you will stay out of trouble! LEO makes a great friend. 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) HHHHH Your fiery ways might ignite others into action if you are not careful. You also could provoke a great deal of brainstorming and unexpected ideas. Follow through on your chosen path, and remember that you are the director. Straighten out a misunderstanding before it becomes a problem. Tonight: A little fun never hurts. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHHH Your sense of humor allows others to relax around you. As people start to open up, you’ll gain helpful insights. Avoid a misunderstanding by clarifying facts and information. Being generous is a wonderful characteristic, and it will emerge today — just honor your budget. Tonight: Hang in there. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHHHH Initiate a conversation by helping the other party feel more comfortable. You might regret some of your prior judgments.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHH Sometimes you might overwhelm people with everything that you do and seem capable of handling. Give someone the space to grow, as he or she needs to deal with a personal issue. Do some price comparison for the right Halloween costume or decoration. Tonight: Head home, but buy a little something for a friend on the way. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHHH Get past a bad mood. A child or a lively conversation will help you to do just that.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHHH What you come up with in your mind could be the best-case scenario. Distance yourself and see if the potential exists to have this idea happen.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHHH The unexpected occurs, and you could act on your frustration. Perhaps you feel as if there is no other way.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHHH You feel a strong sense of dedication to your friends, and they to you. Your ability to identify with others falls short with one person.

The Eastern volleyball team earned it 33rd consecutive TriValley Conference Hocking Division match with a win over visiting Federal Hocking Thursday night. Eastern won it three games, stretching its overall winning streak to 15 matches. The Lady Eagles have also been victorious in 12 straight Bryan Walters bwalters@heartlandpublications.com JACKSON, Ohio — The postseason is set for the Gallia Academy soccer team following Saturday’s Division II boys soccer tournament draw held at Jackson High School in Jackson County. The Blue Devils (2-11-1) earned an eight-seed and will face top-ranked Unioto (13-0-0) in a D-2 sectional semifinal contest at Unioto High School at 6 p.m. on Tuesday, Oct. 16. The winner of that contest will host the D-2 sectional final at 4 p.m. on Saturday, Oct. 20 against either Chillicothe or Waverly. Complete brackets of the 2012 boys soccer postseason are available on the web at www.seodab. org games, their second longest streak of the year. EHS (18-1, 13-0 TVC Hocking) took the first game of the night 25-14, the second game 25-13 and the third game 25-9. Maddie Rigsby led the service attack for Eastern with 18 points, followed by Erin Swatzel with 10 points, and Ally Hendrix with nine. Gabby Hendrix had five points, Kiki Osborne finished with two, and Jordan Parker closed out the EHS scoring with one point in the triumph. Parker paced the net attack for Eastern with 18 kills in the match. Rigsby recorded 11 kills, Swatzel had five, Osborne and Ally Hendrix each had a pair of kills, and Katie Keller had one kill to round out the EHS total.

The first came on September 13th in Stewart, as Eastern won 2517, 25-16 and 25-15. October a great month to enjoy the outdoors Jim Freeman In the Open Polamalu out, Woodley doubtful for Steelers PITTSBURGH (AP) — Troy Polamalu’s comeback turned out to be just a cameo, and there’s no telling when the Pittsburgh Steelers safety will be back on the field. One thing’s for certain, it won’t be on Thursday when the Steelers (2-2) travel to reeling Tennessee (1-4). Coach Mike Tomlin ruled Polamalu out of the lineup this week after the All-Pro aggravated his strained right calf in the first quarter of a 16-14 win over Philadelphia on Sunday. Polamalu was in pass coverage when he pulled up at the end of the play and hobbled to the sideline. He spent the rest of the half sitting on the bench with his calf iced and watched the second half in sweats. Tomlin pointed to the quick turnaround between games and the nature of Polamalu’s injury as the reasons behind the decision. Polamalu missed two games last month after originally straining the calf in a loss to The Daily Sentinel • Page 10 www.mydailysentinel.com Denver in the season opener. The coach is a little more optimistic that linebacker LaMarr Woodley can play despite a strained right hamstring. Woodley sat out six games and missed parts of two others with a similar injury last year but Tomlin believes this time it isn’t quite as serious. Still, with less than 100 hours to get ready, Woodley looks doubtful. “Although there’s more optimism regarding where he is … we’re at the early portion of the season and we’ve got to be smart with how we deal with that,” Tomlin said. The news isn’t all bad, however, for Pittsburgh’s defense. Linebacker James Harrison didn’t miss a snap in his first game of the season and other than some minor swelling in his left knee on Monday morning, appeared just fine. He certainly looked just fine while recording two tackles and hurrying Philadelphia quarterback Michael Vick three times. Happy October! October, or Jimtober as I prefer to call it, is easily my favorite month of the year; a time of reflection, warm days and cool nights with beautiful scenery and fall foliage. Now the tenth month of the year, October was once the eighth month but was moved after the introduction of January and February. Today October is synonymous with the autumnal season, or “fall” as we Americans prefer to call it. Here in southeastern Ohio and western West Virginia the most brilliant fall foliage colors generally appear around the middle of the month. The 20th century French philosopher Albert Camus was probably referring to October when he said, “Au- tumn is a second spring when every leaf’s a flower.” Early October can be a crowded time in the woods as there are several hunting seasons running concurrently with something to fit almost every hunter’s liking from squirrels to whitetail deer to wild turkey (starting Oct. 13). Several migratory bird species seasons are in as well this month. Many hunters have put aside the shotguns and rimfire rifles from squirrel season and picked up their bows and treestands and set out in search of whitetail deer. As always, be extremely careful when using treestands! Full disclosure here; I must confess that the past few years I don’t hunt nearly as much as I used to, so the month has come to mean less about hunting and more about just enjoying the outdoors, running or just being outdoors and enjoying the beautiful weather. For instance, this month I am looking forward to running the Army TenMiler. However, I still enjoy hunting stories and hunter education and greatly appreciate the role of hunting in modern wildlife management; it’s just that lately I don’t really much care to actually kill anything - which does occasionally conflict with my desire for venison. Of course hunting stories are as much of a tradition as hunting itself, as is the camaraderie and fellowship surrounding the hunt. The hunting, for me, will generally wait until November or December. Sadly, I am not alone. Hunter retention and recruitment is an issue facing state wildlife agencies throughout the country, which is why I have always said it is important to introduce youngsters to hunting and fishing. Meanwhile there are football games, pumpkin-carving and apple-butter making and other fall activities (sauger fishing) to enjoy. Oddly enough, although October is no longer the eighth month it retained its name with the Latin prefix “Octo” meaning “eight.” Otherwise it would be December, and December would be “Duodecimber.” November, by the way, would have been changed to “Undecimber,” but those Romans, ever the practical fellows, decided to just leave the names alone. No matter what you call it; October is an awesome time to enjoy the great outdoors. Jim Freeman is the wildlife specialist for the Meigs Soil and Water Conservation District.

He smiled, waved hello, offered handshakes, high-fives and hugs — even a few hang loose signs. Baker is still beloved in the Bay Area 10 years after managing the Giants within six outs of a World Series title before falling short. That didn’t change even after his Cincinnati Reds routed San Francisco 9-0 on Sunday night for a commanding 2-0 lead in their NL division series. This time, it’s the Reds riding some serious postseason momentum. Two years ago, the Giants made an im- probable run to the city’s first World Series championship and Cincinnati got swept out of the first round by the Phillies. “You’re not comfortable at all until it’s over,” Baker said. “We’ve been there before. It’s hard to take the last breath out of anything.” Game 3 in the best-of-five series is Tuesday at Great American Ball Park. Homer Bailey (13-10), who pitched a no-hitter Sept. 28 at Pittsburgh, takes the mound as the Reds try to close out the series against Giants right-hander Ryan Vogelsong (14-9). The Reds headed home to Ohio on quite a roll, thanks to a bunch of memorable firsts. Bronson Arroyo won his first game in seven tries at San Francisco. Ryan Ludwick hit his first postseason home run, while Ryan Hanigan had his first playoff RBI. More than anything on this night, it was Arroyo’s turn to celebrate on what he figured to be a fun flight back to Cincinnati. “We couldn’t put ourselves in a better situation,” he said. “It doesn’t mean you’re going to close it out, but for us personally, I know the fans are going to be as jacked as they have ever been in that ballpark since it has been built, which is going to be nice.” fever The race is on at mydailytribune.com mydailyregister.com mydailysentinel.com Show off your Auto Racing knowledge & Sprint to the Cup for great weekly prizes!
