Leach, 43 50 cents daily WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 14, 2012 Vol. 62, No. 210 Middleport Council views walking path plans Charlene Hoeflich choeflich@heartlandpublications.com MIDDLEPORT — A picture of the engineering design for the proposed walking path along the river in Middleport was displayed at Monday night’s Middleport Village Council meeting. The design of the first phase of the path shows a section to run from the upper corporation line near the Dairy Queen to Custer Street. A second phase for which the engineering has not been done, would extend from there down to the marina. Funding for the initial project came from a federal grant under which the surveying, title and design work were completed. That information will now be submitted to the Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT) for final approval and probable funding. The overall bike and walking path has a projected cost of $2 million dollars. The path design shows an eight-feet-wide path with a dividing line right along the river bordered on the river side by a grassy section with lighting on the other side. Seating and other amenities will be included along the path. Meeting with Council was Tom Wallace of Rumpke who was there about a three-year extension on garbage collection in the village. Council approved the contract which calls for the price to remain the same for 2013 and increase by three percent in 2014. He said the current contract expires on Dec. 31. As for the impound lot, Mike Hendrickson reported that everything is ready to go once the fencing arrives and is erected. The lot is located behind Middleport Village Hall. Council recently passed an ordinance relating to the use of the lot, the general operation of removing vehicles from private property and charges relating to vehicle storage pending disposition. The mayor’s report listed collections of $7,663 with $6,277 being retained by the village. Mayor’s Court action for October showed 24 traffic citations, 20 criminal citations, and 17 warrants, making a total of 61 cases. There were three crash reports filed, 28 dispatch reports noted, and 19 incident reports handled, according to a report from Chief of Police Bruce Swift.

Theiss was later honored as Southern Veteran of the Year. Veteran’s Day assembly held Theiss honored as Southern’s Veteran of the Year Staff Report mdsnews@mydailysentinel.com RACINE — Both Southern Elementary and Southern High School held Veteran’s Day assemblies in honor of the sacred day that honors members of our military — both past and present. As has been the tradition over the past seven years that Tony Deem, himself a veteran, has been superintendent, Southern Local has chosen a community veteran to honor for their efforts. This year’s honoree was Sergeant Kenny Theiss, who served in World War II and Korea. Theiss served as a Combat Engineer in Guadalcanal in 1943 and would be responsible for making passage for heavy mechanized artillery. In the spring of 1944, the Division was moved to New Britain. After training that fall, they set sail in December of 1944 from Borgen Bay for the first assault landing on the Philippine Island of Luzon. Heavy fighting took place at this site. The Division began moving toward Manila and was able to take back Panay Island by removing the Japanese resistance. The Divisions strategy continued to work as they were able to secure Pulupandan on the Island of Negros by April 2nd, 1945. The Division began training for an invasion of Japan but organized resistance stopped on May 31st. While the Division was training, the war ended. The occupation of Korea was the next stop for his unit. He returned home with the 115th Combat Engineers on April 7, Legion members Chuck Mugrage and Gary Willford raise See ASSEMBLY ‌| 5 the flag at Southern’s Veteran’s Day Assembly.

Ohio marks 10th annual youth hunting season Staff Report Local stocks cur on Thanksgiving Day, Thursday, Nov. 22. Service will be delayed one day during the rest of the holiday week. COLUMBUS — Ohio youth hunters will participate in the state’s 10th annual youth white-tailed deer hunting season this month, according to the Ohio Department of Natural Resources’ (ODNR) Division of Wildlife. This year’s deer-gun youth hunting season is Nov. 17-18. Ohio youth hunters killed 8,867 deer in 2011 and at least 8,300 deer in the two-day season every year since 2005. Youth hunters killed 422 more deer in 2011 compared to 2010. “When we first started youth hunting seasons, we focused on what we could do to make hunting easier and more enjoyable for kids. We wanted to expand their opportunities,” said Vicki Mountz, information and education executive administrator with the ODNR Division of Wildlife. “Youth hunting seasons have been very successful, and we are happy to see kids get out there and enjoy that time.” The youth deer-gun season is open statewide to hunters holding a valid youth hunting license and youth deer permit. Plugged shotguns using slugs, muzzleloaders .38 caliber and larger, handguns .357 caliber or larger and bows are legal. All participants must wear hunter orange, possess a valid Ohio youth hunting license and a youth deer permit and must be accompanied in the field by a non-hunting adult. Youth hunters can commemorate their achievement with a First Harvest certificate, available at wildohio.com. Parents can upload a photo and type in the hunter’s information to personalize the certificate. Hunters can also share photos by clicking on the Photo Gallery tab online. All other regularly scheduled hunting seasons will continue during the two-day youth season. All hunters, including deer-archery hunters, are required to wear hunter orange during this time. More information can be found in the 2012-13 Ohio Hunting and Trapping Regulations and at wildohio. com. Hunting licenses are no longer printed on weatherproof paper. Protect licenses and permits from the elements by carrying them in a protective pouch or wallet. Youth hunters can donate venison to the needy for free. ODNR Division of Wildlife is collaborating with Farmers and Hunters Feeding the Hungry (FHFH) to help pay for the processing of donated venison. All hunters who donate their deer to a food bank are not required to pay the processing cost as long as funding for the effort lasts. More information about this program can be found at fhfh.org. Ask Dr. Brothers Young daughter takes on role of her friends’ protector some hits. She seems quite proud of her role. I think it is a recipe for disaster. How do I help her navigate this minefield? — C.B. Dear C.B.: It’s always difficult for a young teen to find a way to fit in when her peers haven’t included her in the past, and your daughter apparently has found a group of friends with whom she feels comfortable. That’s a good In Loving Memory of Carla Donette McFarland January 27, 1959 - November 12, 2002 Her Smile Though her Smile is gone forever, and her hand we cannot touch, we still have so many memories, of the one we loved so much. Her memory is our keepsake, with which we will never part. God has her in His keeping, we have her in our hearts. thing. But if this clique has put her in harm’s way and headed down a dangerous path, I can see why you are calling it a minefield. It’s important that you intervene right away before your daughter or someone else gets hurt and her friendships take a disastrous turn. The fact that your daughter has set herself up as protector to her friends is especially worrisome. You may find, as you talk with her, that she was under some sort of pressure to take on such a role, in order to secure her place in the group. It may be very difficult to change your daughter’s mind about her friends, since the drama of fighting will have formed a closeknit group with a strong identity. It would be a great idea to somehow channel her instincts as a protector into some kind of volunteering that would make her feel needed and useful. She could work with shelter animals, children or the elderly, and this may give her the boost of selfesteem that she is seeking with her new peer group. In any case, it’s important that you start a dialogue with your daughter to set a new course. Thank you for all the support and prayers! Proudly Serving Meigs County as Clerk of Courts.

Ohio executes killer who stabbed woman LUCASVILLE (AP) — Ohio on Tuesday executed a condemned killer who calmly went to his death still claiming he was innocent of stabbing a woman 138 times, slitting her throat and cutting off her hands. “I’m good, let’s roll,” Brett Hartman said in his final words. He then smiled in the direction of his sister and repeatedly gave her, a friend and his attorney a “thumbs up” with his left hand. “This is not going to defeat me,” Hartman then said to warden Donald Morgan, who didn’t respond. The effect of the single dose of pentobarbital did not seem as immediate as in other executions at the state prison in Lucasville, in southern Ohio. Four minutes after Hartman first appeared to be reacting to it as his abdomen began to rise and fall, his abdomen rose and fell again, he coughed and his head shifted rhythmically for a few moments. His sister, Diane Morretti, dabbed at her eyes during the process. The warden declared Hartman’s time of death as 10:34. Both Hartman’s attorney, David Stebbins, and prisons system spokeswoman JoEllen Smith said the gap between Hartman’s movements was not out of the ordinary. Hartman was the 49th inmate put to death since Ohio resumed executions in 1999. Hartman acknowledged that he had sex with Winda Snipes early on the morning of Sept. 9, 1997 at her Akron apartment. He also says he went back to Snipes’ apartment later that day, found her mutilated body and panicked, trying to clean up the mess before calling 911. But Hartman said he didn’t kill her, a claim rejected by numerous courts over the years. A former co-worker and friend of Snipes who witnessed the execution said afterward that the family was relieved the case was over and that the continuous rounds of appeals and media reports about the case were at an end. Jacqueline Brown of Doylestown in northeast Ohio also flatly dismissed Hartman’s innocence claim. “He’s very, very, very guilty,” she said afterward. “Now Winda can be at peace, and that’s what it’s all about.” Stebbins read a statement from Hartman’s family in which they professed his innocence and asked for additional testing of scene evidence. “We hope that the taking of Brett’s innocent life might serve as a wake-up call to the flaws in our legal system,” the statement said. Hartman came within about a week of execution in 2009 before federal courts allowed him to pursue an innocence claim. When that claim failed, Hartman had a new date set last year, but that was postponed because of a federal lawsuit over Ohio’s execution policy. The Ohio Parole Board had unanimously denied Hartman’s requests for clemency three times, citing the brutality of the Snipes’ slaying and the “overwhelming evidence” of Hartman’s guilt. Hartman’s attorneys long said that crucial evidence from the crime scene and Snipes’ body had never been tested, raising questions about Hartman’s innocence. The evidence included fingerprints allegedly found on a clock and a mop handle. Hartman also argued the evidence could implicate an alternate suspect. Expert: Ky. earthquake not from mining LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) — Geologists say the 4.3 magnitude earthquake that shook eastern Kentucky over the weekend was too deep to be induced by the region’s underground mining activity. The epicenter was about 10 miles west of Whitesburg, in the heart of Kentucky’s coal country, where underground mining and surface blasting are common. Zhenming Wang, the head of UK’s Geologic Hazards Section, says Saturday’s quake occurred about 12 miles below the surface, far too deep for underground mining to have been a factor. Wang says the earthquake occurred near the Eastern Tennessee Seis- mic Zone, which receives a four-magnitude quake every five to 10 years. “If the earthquake had been close to the surface, then we might think it was mining-related,” said Stephen Horton, a research scientist at the University of Memphis Center for Earthquake Research and Information. “The depth is the giveaway really.” Mining and hydraulic fracturing, a practice used by the natural gas industry, can possibly be a contributor to earthquakes, but the quakes would not be as deep under the surface as the one that occurred in Kentucky, Horton said. Hydraulic fracturing, also known as fracking, involves pumping water, sand and chemicals into Zion Church of Christ Annual Thanksgiving Dinner the ground to cause subterranean fractures that in turn release gas or oil. Wang said he is not aware of fracking operations in the area where the earthquake originated. “We try to monitor that pretty closely,” Wang said. The Saturday quake just after noon caused little damage but was felt in West Virginia, Tennessee, North Carolina, South Carolina, Indiana, Ohio and Georgia. The strongest earthquake recorded in Kentucky occurred in 1980 in Bath County and had a magnitude of 5.2, according to the U.S. Geological Survey.

He believes what’s missing from the traditional three R’s (reading, writing and arithmetic) is Life Skills. President Obama recognizes their value in producing not only a smarter student but also a better one. Many parents have discovered that martial arts teach life skills better than most children’s activities. They’ll specifically enroll their child to learn such skills as focus and discipline. National surveys verify that children who train in the martial arts also earn better grades in academic school. Don Bitanga Martial Arts Center Middleport, Ohio Reader disappointed with ‘no’ vote on beer sales Dear Editor, This is for the people of Huntington Township. I cannot believe how ignorant some people can be. We had an issue up for a vote. Beer sales in Vinton. Now it seems that we are to stay a dry village. We will never progress as you don’t realize that for every sale made, Vinton Village would get revenue. Money! People will still drink beer in Vinton, but because you are ignorant, those who drink beer will go to Wilkesville or Gallipolis and buy it, and those areas will get the revenue. Money! So don’t start complaining that we have nothing in Vinton, because it is your fault for voting NO on the issues. Debra Almanza Vinton, Ohio Reader saddened by Sandy’s impact on the Jersey Shore The devastation we all have been seeing in pho- tos and on the news is sad to all people in this country and other parts of the world. For those of us who are from New Jersey and spent our summers on the Jersey Shore, it is far, far more significant. Families would save their money to be able to rent a house at their favorite beach and look forward to it all year. It is a place where our personalities were shaped from the time we were children, generation after generation. We played in the sand with our buckets, shovels and sand sifters as our parents and grandparents looked on. We collected and painted sea shells. We delighted in the magic of the boardwalk … ice cream, sausage sandwiches, pizza, salt water taffy and of course … the rides! As we grew up, the fascination with the shore evolved, and it now became a place to hang out with friends. We strutted up and down the beach and boardwalk looking to attract those of the opposite sex. What fun! Countless college educations and first cars were paid for from the jobs that the Shore environment provided. There was no second thought as to were we would go after proms … it was always “down the shore” where we would bring blankets and watch the sun rise. Then years later, we brought our children and the cycle continued. The memories go on and on. It is heartbreaking to see our legacy of the Jersey Shore turned into sticks and massive flooding, but we are strong people. New Jerseyians have risen to devastation in the past and will do it again. The re-building will begin, continue through the winter and by next summer the the loyal patrons will be back. It may not look the same as before, but memories will continue to be made.

November is Lung Cancer Awareness Month Dear Editor, November is Lung Cancer Awareness Month. This year, approximately 160,340 Americans are expected to die from lung cancer, accounting for 28 percent of all cancer deaths. That is why there is an entire month dedicated to this disease, raising awareness and increasing research to help put an end to it. People like to think that lung cancer is a self-inflicted disease from smoking; the truth is that radon, secondhand smoke and air pollution all can cause lung cancer. The American Lung Association encourages everyone to help stomp out the stigma of lung cancer and create awareness around the disease. The American Lung Association launched a new online resource at www. MyLungCancerSupport. org designed to guide and support those living with lung cancer and their loved ones during every stage of the disease. I encourage everyone affected by lung cancer to visit this website to learn more. Thank you, Deb Brown President and CEO American Lung Association of the Mid-Atlantic dbrown@lunginfo.org Page 4 Wednesday, November 14, 2012 The 2012 election and the power of incumbency Dr. Paul Kengor Mitt Romney lost the presidential race by only two percentage points. If the election had been held just a week earlier, when he was up in the polls, things might have been different. Nonetheless, Mitt Romney lost, and now a bitter debate has ensued over the future of the Republican Party, with liberal Democrats happily plunging into the debate. What is being lost in this debate, however, is just how hard it is to defeat an incumbent president—any incumbent president. Here’s a history lesson from the last 100 years: There have been 19 incumbent presidents since Teddy Roosevelt, including Barack Obama. The vast majority of them—14, to be exact—were reelected. Only five of them lost: William Howard Taft, Herbert Hoover, Gerald Ford, Jimmy Carter, and George H. W. Bush. What about the five that lost? A look at their losses is instructive. Taft lost in 1912 to Woodrow Wilson, who received only 42 percent of the vote. What killed Taft and the Republicans was Teddy Roosevelt’s entrance into the race, splitting the GOP and much of the country. Once that happened, Taft was doomed. Herbert Hoover lost because of the Great Depression. In fact, Hoover’s loss is indicative of what prompts most defeats of presidential incumbents: bad economies. That’s a pattern that would hold repeatedly, with one glaring exception: President Obama. After Hoover, no president lost a reelection bid until Gerald Ford in 1976. Ford had never been elected in the first place. He assumed the awful task of replacing a disgraced Richard Nixon. And the economy under Ford was not good. Ford was beat by Jimmy Carter, who presided over a terrible economy. Words like “malaise” and “misery index” became household words to describe the Carter years. By 1980, the economy under Carter was clearly worse than four years earlier. Ronald Reagan beat him in a landslide, taking 44 of 50 states. The next incumbent to fail to be reelected was George H. W. Bush. Bush won the 1988 election largely on the strength of the Reagan years. He was the closest Americans could get to a third Reagan term. By 1992, however, Bush, who had fatally reversed his no-new-taxes pledge, was dealing with a recession. He also faced a third-party challenge from Ross Perot. He lost to Bill Clinton, who got about the same percentage of the vote that Woodrow Wilson did in the three-way race of 1912. 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. The First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution Letters to the Editor Letters to the editor should be limited to 300 words. All letters are subject to editing, must be signed and include address and telephone number. No unsigned letters will be published. Letters should be in good taste, addressing issues, not personalities. “Thank You” letters will not be accepted for publication. This meant that Mitt Romney, in seeking to defeat Barack Obama, had history against him—but with one exception: Though history showed that incumbents usually win, it also showed that incumbents with bad economies typically lose. By every objective measurement, the economy in 2012 was far worse than four years ago: 47 million on food stamps (up from 32 million); all-time record deficits and debit (dwarfing the Bush numbers); a surge in welfare rolls; chronic unemployment; a prolonged non-recovering recovery; 636,000 homeless; a doubling of gas prices; and on and on. No president since FDR in 1940 had won reelection with an unemployment rate above 7.1 percent. And for FDR, that number was a huge improvement from four years earlier. How did Obama and his team overcome this? The answer: as exit polls confirm, they successfully blamed it on George W. Bush, with Bill Clinton aiding and abetting the process. There were no limits to how much they blamed Bush, and how much the blame worked with the Democratic base. But even that doesn’t describe the full picture. Remarkably, Mitt Romney received fewer votes in 2012 than John McCain did in 2008, even amid the red-hot anti-Obama sentiment among conservatives and what seemed to be a genuine pro-Romney enthusiasm among Republicans. The enthusiasm was real, but it apparently wasn’t broad enough. And it wasn’t like there was huge enthusiasm for Obama, at least compared to four years ago. Obama got nine million less votes than he did in 2008. (Caution: more votes continue to be tabulated.) He is the first president to be reelected with both a lower number of Electoral College votes and a lower total of popular votes. Yet, overall, we might frame the election of 2012 as one in which one of two historical forces would have to give: either the power of incumbency or the power of a bad economy. In the end, Barack Obama, the incumbent, prevailed — barely.

Included in the front row nearest the camera is Delbert Smith, the 2011 honoree, Southern Elementary students took part in a Veteran’s Day assembly on Friday morning at and beside him Kenny Theiss, the 2012 honoree. the school. Assembly From Page 1 1946 to Camp Stoneman. Theiss was a 1940 graduate of Racine High School. His four children — Kenny Theiss, Donna Theiss Sayre, Sharon Theiss Birch and David Theiss — also graduated from Racine. After reading Theiss’s bio, Deem proclaimed, “It is with great pride and pleasure that I present this plaque to this year’s special honoree — Sergeant Kenny Theiss. The first portion of the Southern program began outside at the flag pole. Other guests in attendance were 15 members of the Racine American Legion post and other veterans and family members. Each honoree was presented the microphone by High School Principal Daniel Otto to give their name, rank, and branch of the military for which they served. Southern graduates currently in the service we recognized. Those currently serving are Brett Beegle, Zane Beegle, Dax Holman, Dylan Roush, Joey Forester, Kreig Kleski, Kyle Goode, Marcus Hill, Steven Loane and Taylor Deem. During the high school ceremony, which hosted grades 5-12, veterans from the Racine American Legion raised the flag as the award-winning Southern Marching Band under the direction of Chad Dodson played the National Anthem. Kody Wolfe, president of the Student Council, led the students and guests in the Pledge of Allegiance. Scott Wolfe, administrative assistant and Master of Ceremonies for the event, presented a speech entitled “Honoring Veterans”. Wolfe closed with a quote from President Ronald Reagan, then concluded with having the student body and community members give a big “Thank You” to the veteran’s in attendance. “You fought for your country and for its safety and for the freedom of others with strength and courage. We love you for it. We honor you. And we have faith that, as He does all His sacred children, the Lord will bless you and keep you, the Lord will make His face to shine upon you and give you peace, now and forever more,” read Wolfe. Wolfe said, “This part of the program is truly a celebration, and here we celebrate you and your dedication to serve and protect your country.” Removing his fedora, Wolfe said, “For that I take my hat off to you, thank you for your service.” Guest speaker for the event was American Legion member and Vietnam veteran Gary D. ‘Denny’ Evans, who noted that “many among us in our everyday lives may be veterans”. Evans has served the Southern Local School District as a board member for nearly 25 years. Evans added, “Today we honor veterans with a ‘thank you’, but veterans are worthy of a ‘thank you’ every single day. That simple ‘thank you’ means so much to a veteran.” Evans continued by detailing the sacrifices that veterans have made “to secure the freedom of our country and keep Americans safe”, adding that service is an ‘earned respect’. “We have over three million disabled American Veterans in our country. They have earned our respect. We need to help them every chance that we can.” Evans also urged students to send care packages to those soldiers currently serving abroad, saying “I know how important that was for me, and how much it meant to get something from home. It means more than you can ever imagine.” Next, the first graders from Southern Elementary performed “This Land is Your Land” and “God Bless the USA”. The ceremony then moved inside for a more solemn affair. As the crowd made its way into Charles W. Hayman gymnasium, the Southern Band played patriotic music, including “Anchors Aweigh” and “The Caissons Go Rolling Along”. Once inside the members of the Southern National Honor Society — Kody Wolfe, Jennifer McCoy, Kyrie Swann, Whitney Weddle, Jaclyn Mees, Paige Wehrung, Tare Eakins and Joe Smith — read Veteran’s Day quotes as the lights dimmed in the gymnasium to a somber backdrop for this sacred day. Principal Daniel Otto presented a PowerPoint presentation to Jo Dee Messina’s “Heaven Was Needing A Hero”, and Deem then made the presentation to Theiss. As is tradition, Deem and Computer Technician Ed Baker, a Marine veteran, presented the roll call honoring those from Meigs County that have died in World War I, World War II, The Korean War, Vietnam War and the Iraqi Wars. As the roll call was presented, a bell tolled and one of nearly 200 candles was snuffed out signifying the ultimate sacrifice of lives given for our freedom. Handling these duties were NHS members Courtney Thomas, Joe Smith and Jennifer McCoy. This ceremony concluded with “Taps” being played by Jacob Hoback and A.J. Roush. Guests were dis- missed to the school library for a reception to honor the veterans and their families. Earlier in the day, a similar ceremony was held at Southern Elementary, where Principal Kent Wolfe served as the Master of Ceremonies for the K-4 grade assembly. The Southern band played patriotic music as students filed into the gymnasium, then the Racine American Legion posted the colors as veterans marched into the auditorium. Poems were presented by Talon Drummer, Sara Schenkelberg, Marlee Maynard and Sierra Cleland. Denny Evans presented the Veterans Day address. A moment of silence was held in honor of ‘Fallen Soldiers who have given the ultimate sacrifice of life’. To conclude the ceremony, members of the Southern Band played Taps, and the American Legion retired the colors.

The RedStorm received 25 points in the balloting of league coaches, who were not permitted to vote for their own team. Head coach Brad Warnimont’s team finished 30-27 overall and 6-14 in conference play last season. Among the returnees this season are senior 1B/OF Shane Spies, who batted .319 with 12 home runs, 21 doubles and 50 runs batted in; senior infielder Kyle Perez, who hit .332 with one home run, five doubles and 31 stolen bases; and junior pitcher Mike Deitsch, who posted a 5-6 record and a 3.33 earned run average in 15 appearances. After capturing its first MidSouth Conference regular season baseball title in 2012, Lindsey Wilson is projected to repeat in 2013. The Blue Raiders, who won the conference with a 17-4 mark last season, received 99 voting points from the conference coaches and nine of the 11 first-place votes. Georgetown College, the 2012 MSC Tournament champions, were second in the balloting with 85 points and one of the two remaining first-place votes. Cumberland University, who begins its first season in the MSC as a full member since 2001, was third with 83 points and the final first-place vote. Campbellsville University was predicted to finish fourth with 79 points and was followed by Shawnee State University with 57 points. St. Catharine was right on the Bears’ heels with 56 points and University of the Cumberlands was seventh with 49 points. Mid-South newcomer Bluefield College ws eighth with 33 voting points, while UVA-Wise (29 points), Rio Grande and University of Pikeville (10) complete the 11-team poll. The 2013 MSC baseball season begins in mid-February with conference play beginning later that month.

A total of 25 people from the Ohio Valley Publishing area — 24 players and one coach — were selected to the 2012 All-Southeast District football teams in divisions 2-6, as voted on by the Associated Press sports writers within the southeastern Ohio region. Gallia Academy — which won the Southeastern Ohio Athletic League title outright and also served as the OVP area’s only playoff qualifier in Ohio — led the local programs with nine selections, including a pair of special postseason honorees. Eastern was next with five choices, followed by Southern with four picks and Meigs with three selections. River Valley and South Gallia both had a two selections apiece to round out the local field. The Blue Devils (9-3) led the entire Division III field with nine total selections, which included six first-team choices and two special mention picks. Fourth-year GAHS coach Mike Eddy — who guided Gallia Academy to its first SEOAL championship since 2004 and also the Blue Devils’ first postseason appearance since 2006 — was also the unanimous choice for D-3 coach of the year honors. Junior Ty Warnimont also brought home some major hardware for the Blue Devils, as the linebacker was named the defensive player of the year in Division III. Athens sophomore quarterback Joey Burrow was named the offensive player of the year as well. Joining Warnimont on the first team were seniors Cody Russell, Austin Gragg and Caleb Campbell, as well as junior Wade Jarrell and sophomore Dylan Saunders. Gragg and Russell were respective firstteam selections at defensive line and defensive back, while Campbell and Jarrell were respectively chosen at offensive line and quarterback. Saunders was also a first-team choice as a place-kicker. Senior Nick Clagg and junior Brian Williams were also chosen to the special mention squad in Division III.

URG softball picked 6th in MSC preseason poll Randy Payton Special to OVP LOUISVILLE, Ky. — The Univerity of Rio Grande has been picked to finish sixth in the 2013 Mid-South Conference softball preseason coaches poll released Monday by league officials. The RedStorm collected 55 points in the balloting of the 11 coaches in the conference. Coaches were not permitted to vote for their own team. Rio finished 24-20 overall and 1210 in the MSC last season, their first under head coach Kristen Bradshaw. The RedStorm returns its leading hitter in senior outfielder Kaylee Walk (Unionville Center, OH), a first team all-MSC selection last year who batted .388 with 57 hits, 36 runs scored and 14 stolen bases, in addition to senior second baseman Katie Fuller (Hamilton, OH), a second team all-MSC pick who hit .299 with one home run, 14 doubles and 32 runs batted in. Lindsey Wilson College was the overwhelming top pick, grabbing nine first place nods and 99 points. The Blue Raiders have won at least a share of the conference’s regular season title each of the last three seasons. Campbellsville University was second in the poll with 87 voting points and the final two first-place votes, with Georgetown College tallying 82 voting points for third. Shawnee State University was fourth with 72 voting points, while Cumberland University — who begins its first season in the MSC as a full member since 2001 — grabbed fifth place with 61 voting points. Behind Rio Grande, St. Catharine College (45 points) and UVA-Wise (44) were projected to finish seventh and eighth, respectively, while University of the Cumberlands and University of Pikeville tied for ninth in the poll with 25 voting points each. Bluefield College — who enters its first season in the MSC in 2013 — rounds out the coaches’ poll with 10 voting points. The 2013 MSC softball season begins in mid-February with conference play beginning later that month. �Wednesday, November 14, 2012 ANNOUNCEMENTS Legals SERVICES Business • Prompt and Quality Work • Reasonable Rates • Insured • Experienced • References Available Gary Stanley 740-591-8044 60353245 Stanley Tree Trimming & Removal Please leave a message EMPLOYMENT SERVICE / BUSINESS DIRECTORY Fully Insured 25 years Experience CALL Marcum Construction Commercial & Residential General Remodeling Room Additions Roofing Garages Pole Barns Mike W.

When he walks back in ready to play is anybody’s guess. Tomlin called Pittsburgh’s franchise quarterback “questionable” but otherwise offered little detail Tuesday, less than 24 hours after Roethlisberger was pounded into the ground by Kansas City Chiefs linebackers Tamba Hali and Justin Houston in the third quarter of Pittsburgh’s 16-13 overtime victory. “He is being evaluated,” Tomlin said. “Obviously this injury puts his participation in the questionable category for this week.” Roethlisberger left the game and went to the hospital to for an MRI-exam. He underwent more tests on Tuesday to determine the severity of the sprain to the sternoclavicular (SC) joint in his throwing shoulder. The SC joint connects the collarbone to the sternum. Treatment can range from a few days of rest and ice to as much as 4-6 weeks according to Dr. Victor Khabie, chief of sports medicine at Northern Westchester Hospital in Mount Kisco, N.Y. “You could tape it, you could do that stuff but the reality is those ligaments just have to heal,” Khabie said. “If you go throwing, you slow down the healing process.” Roethlisberger was scrambling in the pocket to buy time on Pittsburgh’s first possession of the second half when Houston wrapped up Roethlisberger’s legs and Hali slammed into him, driving the quar- terback’s right side into the damp Heinz Field turf. Roethlisberger didn’t appear to be hurt walking off the field but quickly made his way to the locker room before leaving the stadium with the game still in progress. “It didn’t seem like a tough hit … but he came to the sideline and next thing you know he was gone,” Pittsburgh left tackle Max Starks said. “I’m hoping it was nothing serious. Honestly it didn’t seem like it.” If Roethlisberger can’t play, the Steelers (6-3) will turn veteran backup Byron Leftwich, who completed 7 of 14 passes for 73 yards in relief as Pittsburgh won its fourth straight game thanks to Shaun Suisham’s 23-yard field goal 51 seconds into the extra period. The 32-year-old Leftwich hasn’t started a game since 2009, when he went 0-3 for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. His last victory came on Oct. 8, 2006 when the Jacksonville Jaguars beat the New York Jets 410. The former first round pick has spent most of the last six years as a backup while dealing with a series of significant injuries. He missed all of last season after breaking his arm in a preseason game and threw seven regular season passes in 2010 after hurting his knee at the end of training camp. Though there was a bit of rust after getting pressed into service, Leftwich did guide the Steelers to a go-ahead field goal in the fourth quarter. “I try to prepare as if I am the starter every week,” Leftwich said. “Nothing will change. I wish Ben the best. I hope he is healthy. Other than that I will be ready to go.” Leftwich insists he has mastered offensive coordinator Todd Haley’s playbook and Leftwich’s teammates are hardly concerned if he’s under center on Sunday. “We don’t have a true rookie back there that’s never taken a snap before,” Starks said. “We feel good about who we have back there if it is Byron. We’ll move forward and wait Ben’s return if that’s the case.” Roethlisberger isn’t the only big name that could be out on Sunday. Safety Troy Polamalu continues to be plagued by a right calf injury and Tomlin described him “doubtful” to play against the Ravens. Safety Ryan Clark sustained a concussion for the second time in three games when he took a knee to the head from Kansas City wide receiver Dwayne Bowe, though Tomlin said it appears Clark is fine. Maybe, but it’s not exactly the way the Steelers wanted to be heading into a crucial three-game stretch that includes two games against the hated Ravens in three weeks. Baltimore (7-2) appeared ready to run away with the division after Pittsburgh stumbled to a 2-3 start. The Steelers have ripped off four straight to draw within a game and can take firm control of the AFC North at home on Sunday. The prospect of doing it without their two-time Super Bowl winning quarterback makes that task more difficult, but not impossible. “B-Left has been here a long time,” defensive end Brett Keisel said. “If he’s in there, we expect to keep rolling.” BEREA (AP) — During the Browns’ much-needed bye last week, wide receiver Greg Little spent two hours having lunch in Miami with former NBA star Alonzo Mourning. The meal was fine. The message was far more satisfying. Little came away inspired from his first meeting with Mourning, who explained to him that if he wanted to develop as a player, and that if he wanted to help his team win, the only way to reach any goals was through personal sacrifice. The talk stirred Little, who didn’t waste a moment after returning to Cleveland and shared Mourning’s wisdom with his teammates before practice Monday. “The same message he gave to me is just find something that you can sacrifice,” Little said. “That’s kind of the message I kind of relayed to our team, ‘What are you willing to give up? What are you willing to sacrifice to finish this season out like we really want to.’” The Browns (2-7) returned from their week off refreshed and recharged for the final seven games, a daunting stretch that begins Sunday at Dallas and includes two games against the rival Pittsburgh Steelers. The playoffs are essentially out of reach, but the Browns believe they can still make something of the season. “We want to establish ourselves as a team that can win games,” said cornerback Joe Haden. “We just need to start winning. We feel like it’s the same thing every week. We lose and it’s like, ‘Oh, we’re going to focus on this week and we really have to start winning.’ There’s nothing else that can be said but to win games.” Little is hoping to channel some of the motivation he got form Mourning into helping the Browns win. The second-year receiver was a lightning rod of controversy earlier this season as his dropped passes led to a war of words with some fans on Twitter. Little exacerbated his situation by posing after making first downs and dancing in the end zone after a touchdown. He has since toned down his antics, sworn off social media and become a more polished player. His speech to the team was another sign of his ma- turity, though some of his teammates wondered what he was up to when he asked to talk. “Usually I’m more the joker on the team, so anytime I get up and say something it’s a serious message,” he said. “I think the guys were really shocked at the beginning and I think they took it well.” Little and Mourning were introduced by a mutual friend. Little had never met the seven-time All-Star center before and was unaware of Mourning’s solid pro career because “when he was playing, I was in the yard playing in the neighborhood.” However, when the two began talking Little said that Mourning, who played 16 seasons in the NBA despite enduring a kidney transplant, was able to connect with him because of their shared experiences. “It was like he could relate right to me because of the same situation he’s seen or been in,” Little said. As Mourning spoke, Little said the conversation became very one-sided. “Usually I’m a talkative person,” Little said. “But when he was speaking to me, I was just lost in what he was saying and really trying to soak in 100 percent what he was saying. I was lost with really how powerful the message was and I was just thinking to myself for an hour. “I didn’t even say anything and I was riding with my friend home and I was just lost. I was still thinking about what he was saying.” Mourning gave Little two prime examples of athletes who gained by surrendering. He relayed how Heat superstar LeBron James abstained from social media during his run to his first NBA title last season and how golfer Tiger Woods forced himself to make 500 straight putts from five feet to reinforce muscle memory. Mourning explained to Little that it’s the little things that make the biggest difference. So before the Browns took the field for practice, Little passed along his new knowledge. “We needed that,” wide receiver Josh Cribbs said. “It was refreshing to hear that from a younger player and I feel like he’s on the path to getting better and being a top receiver in this league.” Teams From Page 6 Both the Marauders (3-7) and Raiders (2-8) had at least two choices in Division IV, but only Meigs had a first-team selection. Senior Dillon Boyer accumulated over 1,000 yards of total offense at both the quarterback and runningback spots, making the dualthreat a first-team all-purpose choice. MHS also had special mention honorees in senior Chris Jones and sophomore Ty Phelps. RVHS had two special mention selections in D-4 as well with seniors Kyle Brown and Chris Clemente. Patrick Lewis of Ironton and Trent Williamson of Westfall shared offensive player of the year honors in D-4, while Aaron Stephens of Ironton was named the top defender. Tyler Gullion of Piketon and Mark Vass of Ironton also shared coach of the year honors in Division IV. The Eagles (6-4) had three players named to the first team in Division VI, led by senior Joey Scowden at the quarterback position. Senior Alex Amos was chosen to the defense as a defensive back, while junior Wyatt Westfall was selected to the offensive line. EHS seniors Max Carnahan and Ethan Nottingham were both named to the special men- tion squad in D-6 as well. The Tornadoes (4-6) had two first-team representatives in Division VI, as juniors Tyler Barton and Trenton Deem were respectively chosen to the offensive side of the ball at runningback and wide receiver. Junior Casey Pickens and freshman Tyler O’Conner were also honored as special mention choices in D-6. The Rebels (2-8) — which led the OVP area with six choices last fall — had two special mention selections in juniors Ethan Spurlock and Jacob White. SGHS was the lone Ohio playoff qualifier in the OVP area in 2011. Miscellaneous Trimble claimed a clean sweep of the major D-6 awards, as Konner Standley was named the offensive player of the year and Jacob Koons was named the defensive player of the year. Phil Faires also won coach of the year honors for the Tomcats. Eddie Miller III of Wheelersburg was named the offensive player of the year in Division V, while J.J. Hettinger of Lucasville Valley won defensive player of the year accolades. The D-5 coach of the year award was split between Darren Crabtree of Valley, Nathan Dugan of Oak Hill and Wade Bartholomew of Huntington Ross. Due to a lack of teams, Division II had no players of the year or coaches of the year. Meigs County finished the year with a combined 13-17 mark between its three schools, while Gallia County went 13-19 overall as a collective group. The OVP area had 11 firstteam and 21 total selections at the AP district level last fall. There were 12 first-team and 25 total choices this season. Due to space restaints, a complete list of the 2012 All-Southeast District AP football teams are available on the Gallipolis Daily Tribune and The Daily Sentinel websites under sports. �Wednesday, november 14, 2012 Wednesday, November 14, 2012 BLONDIE BEETLE BAILEY FUNKY WINKERBEAN HAGAR THE HORRIBLE HI & LOIS ComiCs/EntErtainmEnt www.mydailysentinel.com Dean Young/Denis Lebrun Mort Walker Today’s Answers Tom Batiuk Chris Browne Brian and Greg Walker THE LOCKHORNS MUTTS The Daily Sentinel • Page 9 William Hoest Patrick McDonnell Jacquelene Bigar’s Horoscope 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, Nov. 14, 2012: This year you express how unusually savvy you can be with your finances, though you might want to be more willing to take risks.

No more. Now the Buckeyes also have a special level of dislike for the Wisconsin Badgers. “I don’t want to go on record saying that I hate Wisconsin more than Michigan,” Buckeyes wide receiver Corey Brown said, “but I hate Wisconsin just as much as Michigan.” A lot of that enmity will likely bubble to the surface when the sixth-ranked and unbeaten Buckeyes travel to play the Badgers at Camp Randall Stadium on Saturday. Blame the antagonism on chippy, close, contentious games the past few years. Each side says the other’s fans are obnoxious. Both have accused each other of grandstanding after victories, such as dancing on the opposing team’s logo at midfield after a rare road win. Along the way, they’ve worked up a heated little rivalry where once there was none. This year’s edition began during the middle of the winter. Wisconsin coach Bret Bielema alleged that Ohio State’s Urban Meyer was swooping in and stealing verbal commitments. Both coaches downplay it now. At the time it seemed like a natural extension of the battles that have been taking place on the field. “We do a lot of recruiting in Ohio. So the kids know each other,” Bielema said of the rivalry this week. “That builds up a little bit of animosity and some feelings out there more than anything. I’ve learned early on in my coaching career you lose more friends in recruiting in the coaching world than you do on game days.” The Badgers have three starters from the Buckeye state, including star linebacker Chris Borland (second in tackles and first NEW YORK (AP) — Mike Trout of the Los Angeles Angels became the youngest AL Rookie of the Year on Monday and Bryce Harper of the Washington Nationals was voted the second-youngest winner of the NL honor. Trout, who turned 21 on Aug. 7, received all 28 first-place votes from the Baseball Writers’ Association of America’s AL panel. The center fielder was the eighth unanimous AL pick and the first since T https:// mtairynews.newsengin.com/gps/exportElement . php?HistoryID=1413433&elem=body ampa Bay’s Evan Longoria in 2008. Trout, who hit .326 with 30 homers and 83 RBIs, received the maximum 140 points. Oakland outfielder Yoenis Cespedes was second with 63, followed by Texas pitcher Yu Darvish (46), who joined Trout as the only players listed on every ballot. Detroit second baseman Lou Whitaker had been the youngest AL winner in 1978, but he was 2 months, 26 days older than Trout when he took home the award. In addition to Trout and Longoria, the only other unanimous AL winners were Nomar Garciaparra, Derek Jeter, Tim Salmon, Sandy Alomar Jr., Mark McGwire and Carlton Fisk. Trout, a son of former Minnesota minor league infielder Jeff Trout, spent some time in the majors last year but still retained his rookie status. He began this season in the minors and made his first big league appearance this year on April 28 — the day of Harper’s major league debut. Trout’s season put him in contention for the AL MVP award along with Triple Crown winner Miguel Cabrera of Detroit. That voting is announced Thursday. For winning the award, Trout earned a $10,000 bonus on top of his $482,500 salary. Harper turned 20 on Oct. 16. The outfielder got 16 of 32 first-place votes and 112 points from the NL panel. Arizona pitcher Wade Miley was second with 12 first-place votes and 105 points, followed by Cincinnati slugger Todd Frazier with three firsts and 45 points. Harper was the top pick of the 2010 amateur draft and batted .270 with 22 home runs and 59 RBIs as Washington brought postseason play to the nation’s capital for the first time since 1933. Only Tony Conigliaro (24) hit more home runs as a teenager. Harper became the youngest position player in AllStar history. At 20 years, 27 days on Monday, he was 24 days older than New York Mets pitcher Dwight Gooden when he won the NL award in 1984. At this time last year, Trout and Harper were teammates on the Scottsdale Scorpions in the Arizona Fall League. The pair were among a record five rookie AllStars.

Just last year, the Buckeyes broke the Badgers’ hearts. Quarterback Braxton Miller danced around to avoid a rush and heaved a 40-yard touchdown pass to Devin Smith with 20 seconds remaining to upset No. 15 Wisconsin, 33-29, in Ohio Stadium. “It comes up a lot in the players’ minds,” said Wisconsin’s record-setting running back, Montee Ball. “That was a game we felt we could have won and we didn’t. We just tell everybody that same thing can happen if we don’t go out and execute the way we want to. And way we plan to.” Ohio State has won six of the last 11 meetings and holds a narrow 239-231 edge in points over that span. Don’t expect either side to exchange air-kisses before or after the game. “I really don’t like them, to tell you the truth,” Buckeyes defensive lineman Johnathan Hankins said. “I’m sure they probably hate us too, but I really don’t care what they think.” NORMAN, Okla. (AP) — Ask one Stoops brother and he’ll tell you he loves that Oklahoma gave up over 200 yards rushing for a fourth time this season, as long as the end result was a victory. Ask another and he’ll tell you the performance was unacceptable and things need to be corrected right away with a road game against West Virginia’s high-scoring offense coming up on Saturday. The only common ground is that coach Bob Stoops and defensive coordinator Mike Stoops, his brother, both want the 13th-ranked Sooners (7-2, 5-1 Big 12) to be better. “We have to stop the run to be a good defense,” defensive tackle Casey Walker said Monday, leaving no wiggle room. “The front four has to be solid. It has to be. That’s imperative.” For an ex-defensive coordinator who has always preached stopping the run first, Bob Stoops has been uncommonly accepting of the season-worst 251 yards rushing his team allowed in a 42-34 victory over Baylor on Saturday night. The reason: The Bears came in leading the nation in passing and were held to a sea- son-low 172 yards — 220 below their average. “That’s no consolation,” his brother countered. “We want to and we need to play better defense if we want to go the places we want to go.” At his weekly news conference on Monday, Bob Stoops took a small step back from his postgame proclamation in support of the defense: “I absolutely love it.” Looking back at the film, he found too many missed tackles — something he hadn’t seen as a problem in previous games. “To a degree, we’ll make some adjustments and again, hopefully make some adjustments on some of the run game,” Bob Stoops said. He didn’t expect West Virginia (5-4, 2-4) to pose the same issues as Baylor, which frequently spreads receivers within a few steps of both sidelines and ran read option plays with quarterback Nick Florence. Yet that’s not the only run game that has posed the Sooners problems. Kansas State and Notre Dame also eclipsed 200 yards rushing while beating Oklahoma, and UTEP had 207 yards rushing in the opener that was a three-point game in the fourth quarter. “Everybody’s attack is different. Baylor’s strategy to work you is a little bit different than theirs, but you’ve still got speedy receivers, you’ve still got an excellent quarterback. You don’t have as much of the quarterback run game, that kind of thing,” Bob Stoops said. “Everybody has their way that they like to try and move the football.” Mike Stoops saw it differently, calling the tackling “atrocious” and the overall run defense “disappointing” because the Sooners showed vulnerability both inside and outside the tackles. “I think they exposed some weaknesses in our defense, and we’ve got to address them. All the teams we play can do all of the things they did,” he said. “You open up Pandora’s Box.” Entering a stretch when they’ll play some of the Big 12’s most potent passing attacks, Oklahoma frequently used a package with seven defensive backs against Baylor, which could have led to the imbalance in stopping the pass while yielding to the run.

Chase Hammond is a backup wide receiver and Darius Hilary is a second-teamer at cornerback as a freshman. Once just a blip on the schedule, now the game’s recent history raises the rancor on both sides. The Buckeyes won every meeting between 1960 and 1980, and have a 54-17-5 lead in the series. That mark does not count one of the most painful losses ever to the Badgers. Two years ago, the last time the Buckeyes visited America’s Dairyland, Ohio State was 6-0 and ranked No. 1 in the nation but David Gilreath returned the opening kickoff for a touchdown and the Buckeyes fell behind 21-3 at the half on the way to a 31-18 loss to the No. 18 Badgers. (Ohio State had to vacate the 2010 season as part of NCAA sanctions for violations committed under deposed coach Jim Tressel.) “I continually think about when we were ranked No. 1 a couple of years ago going into their house,” Ohio State cornerback Travis Howard said. “They took that away. A lot of guys on the team, especially the seniors, are continually thinking about that moment and don’t want it to happen again — especially with the perfect season we’re having.” Meyer is in his first year at Ohio State as head coach, but has a sense of the emotional tug of war between the teams. “I’m learning about it. I think they stole a season,” he said, referring to the 2010 upset. “(The Ohio State players) were telling me that story a little bit. It’s interesting hearing our players talk about it. This is a rivalry game because you have to understand who you’re playing and what they’ve done the last few years.” If you’re looking for omens, the week before that Ohio State team’s perfect season was ended, undefeated Alabama was No. 1 Run defense in crosshairs for No. 13 Oklahoma John got in the game with a wide range of sports, movies and more & saved up to $850!

Dave Campbell The Associated Press The turnaround at Minnesota has passed a significant milestone. The Gophers are going to a bowl game. This won’t have any bearing on the national championship, but it’s still an important achievement. The Gophers will never be able to crack the conference elite if they don’t become a middle-of-the-pack team first. “It’s a good thing for our kids. They’ve gone through a lot of transition,” coach Jerry Kill said Tuesday. “I’m very excited for them.” The Gophers (6-4, 2-4) play at Nebraska on Saturday and host Michigan State to finish their schedule, and an upset in one of those games would give them a chance for eight victories, a feat unaccomplished since a 10-3 record in 2003. “It was a long route, but we’re finally there. In your senior year it feels great to do that,” said cornerback Michael Carter, one of a handful of players who wept in the locker room after beating Illinois 17-3 last weekend. Here’s the most remarkable part about the Gophers, though: They became only the fifth Big Ten team to qualify for the 2012 postseason, and it’s mid-November. Good for them, landing an opportunity to play in Arizona or Texas, but it’s another bad sign of the conference’s national standing. Nebraska (8-2, 5-1), Michigan (7-3, 5-1), Northwestern (7-3, 3-3) and Wisconsin (7-3, 4-2) are the others who’ve secured an extra game; the Badgers have even clinched a spot in the Big Ten championship game. That’s because Ohio State (10-0, 6-0) and Penn State (6-4, 4-2) aren’t allowed to participate as punishment for the scandals revealed at their schools over the past two years. Illinois? Already eliminated. Granted, the Big Ten would have seven qualifiers were it not for the Ohio State and Penn State sanctions, but the last time the league had only five bowl teams was 1998, when there were far fewer postseason contests than the 35 there are now. Big Ten teams filled 10 slots in 2011-12. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
