Caregivers make it possible for older people to age at home despite common challenges. This month, the Area Agency on Aging Districts 7 and 8 are celebrating the extraordinary efforts of caregivers. Norma Torres of Meigs County has been a caregiver since 2000 when her mother had a stroke. Now that her mom is gone, she takes care of her father who suffers from crippling arthritis and dementia. She would not have it any other way. She says she was blessed with “wonderful parents” who supported her through every stage of life. “I thank God I was given the opportunity to serve them in this way,” Torres said. As a registered nurse, Torres had the confidence to do the job, but still it takes its toll. She says services provided by the Area Agency on Aging District 8 helped give her part of her life back. Through a Caregiver Advocacy Program, the agency offers services and resources to help families. “They bring someone in a few hours a week,” Torres said. It gives her a respite, a time to breathe, and a time to take care of her own business. Torres is the director of the Think Pink program. “If I need to be gone, there is extra care here.” See HONORS ‌| 5 Submitted photo Students at Southern Elementary recently continued the tradition of making butter as part of a lesson about Pilgrims and that first Thanksgiving Day.

During the month of November students studied how the life of Pilgrim children differed from their own lives. First graders wrote about what they would do if they had been Pilgrim children, comparing their daily routine to the routines of Pilgrim children. As part of the lesson, Jenny Ridenour of the Meigs Soil and Water Conservation District, visited the school and taught students about turkeys. As a culminating activity about Pilgrims, Mrs. Deborah Harris, Mrs. Wendy Beegle and Mrs. Dawn Hill’s first graders at Southern Elementary made butter, November 19. One of the activities that went along with the Thanksgiving theme included making butter. Although the students didn’t have a butter churn, they did have “makeshift” churns at their disposal, shaking the cream and other ingredients in plastic containers until the butter was formed. At the end of the activity, all students were treated to a snack that utilized the freshly made butter. �Thursday, November 22, 2012 The Daily Sentinel • Page 2 www.mydailysentinel.com Meigs County Local Briefs Holiday closings POMEROY — The Meigs County Health Department will be closed Thursday, Nov. 22 and Friday, Nov. 23 for the Thanksgiving holiday.

She asked for a later check-out time at the hotel, she got away with smoking in the rental car and then she got a private ride to the airport because she was late, and she took extra servings from the buffet for late snacks without paying extra. I told her that this kind of behavior is reprehensible, and she just laughed and said I should do it too. What can I say to her now? — A.J. Dear A.J.: It seems as though you probably don’t travel much with your sister, or you don’t spend enough time with her on a daily basis to know how she handles things.

The device was a dud provided by an FBI informant Hayne’s attorney, Michael O’Shea, said the plea deal called for his client to get a sentence one-half as long as his co-defendants. Giving Hayne a longer sentence than promised would violate the spirit of the plea deal, O’Shea said. He argued in the motion that the three codefendants pleaded guilty six weeks after Hayne in large measure because of his offer to testify against them. Mike Tobin, a spokesman for the U.S. attorney’s office in Cleveland, said Wednesday there would be no comment on the sentencing issue. The shortest of the three sentences handed down Tuesday by the judge was eight years and one month for Connor Stevens, 21, of Berea, de- scribed in court documents as less involved that the other two. By that measure, O’Shea said Hayne should get half that sentence, or about four years in prison. Sentencing calculations outlined last week showed Stevens was facing 15 to 19 years. The judge gave him to less after hearing from Stevens and his family members and reviewing the presentence report on Stevens’ background and involvement in the plot. The three sentenced Tuesday, including the alleged ring leader, plan to appeal their sentences. Their attorneys had argued for sentences in the five-year range. The judge had refused earlier to delay Hayne’s sentencing as requested by his attorney, who wanted more time to review the other sentences.

San Francisco sheds part of free-spirited past SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — San Francisco shed a vestige of its free-spirited past as local lawmakers narrowly approved a citywide ban on public nudity. Casting aside complaints that forcing people to cover up would undermine San Francisco’s reputation as a city without inhibitions, the Board of Supervisors voted 6-5 on Tuesday in favor of an ordinance that prohibits exposed genitals in most public places, including streets, sidewalks and public transit. Exemptions would be made for participants at permitted street fairs and pa- rades, such as the city’s annual gay pride event and the Bay-to-Breakers street run, which often draws participants in costumes or various states of undress. Supervisor Scott Wiener introduced the ban in response to escalating complaints about a group of men whose bare bodies are on display almost daily in the city’s predominantly gay Castro District. He said at Tuesday’s meeting that he resisted for almost two years but finally felt compelled to act. “It’s no longer an occasionally and quirky part of San Francisco. Rather, in the Castro, it’s pretty much seven days a week,” Wiener said. “It’s very much a, ‘Hey, look what I have’ mentality.” Wiener’s opponents on the board said a citywide ban was unnecessary and would draw police officers’ attention away from bigger problems. Supervisor John Avalos also expressed concerns about what the ordinance would do to San Francisco’s image. “We are a beacon of light to other parts of the country, and sometimes there is a little bit of weirdness about how we express ourselves,” Avalos said. Boos and calls for Wiener’s recall filled the board’s chambers after Tuesday’s vote.

SMITH CHEVROLET BUICK 1911 Eastern Ave 740-446-2282 Gallipolis www.smithsuperstore.com 60372529 �The Daily Sentinel Opinion Growing opposition to US drones program By Jeff Bachman The United States has a long history of violating international law when its leaders believe foreign policy objectives justify doing so. The belief in the right of the United States to overthrow democratically elected governments (Guatemala, Iran, Congo), to train and arm insurgencies (Nicaragua), and to launch aggressive wars (Iraq) free of the inconvenience of the law grows out of the nationalistic fervor of “American Exceptionalism.” Currently, President Obama is directly overseeing a drones program that potentially violates a number of international legal norms. In October 2009, Philip Alston, then UN Special Rapporteur on Extrajudicial, Summary or Arbitrary Executions, stated that the drones program would be illegal if the U.S. was failing to take “all of the relevant precautions to make sure that civilians are not killed, in accordance with the relevant international rules.” Alston continued, “The problem is that we have no real information on this program.” In May we learned that the President personally maintains a “Kill List” and holds weekly meetings during which, as judge, jury and executioner, he determines who lives and who dies. It was also revealed that the President counts all militaryage males killed in drone strikes as militants. However, as a show of his compassion and fairness, the President does leave open the possibility for those killed to be proved innocent posthumously. Such brazen counting and book cooking would make the sneakiest Wall Street accountants blush. It is also what allowed Counterterrorism Adviser John Brennan to maintain for over a year that there had not been a single civilian casualty from drone strikes. In May, Brennan corrected his patently absurd and dishonest claim, stating that innocent loss of life “is exceedingly rare, but it has happened.” There is also the president’s personal authorization of the use of “signature strikes” in Pakistan and Yemen. Signature strikes target unidentified and unconfirmed individuals based in behavioral characteristics that are perceived to be those of militants or terrorists. Of course, it doesn’t actually matter whether an individual killed by a signature strike is a militant because he will be counted as one regardless. President Obama’s method of distinguishing militants from civilians inherently violates the principle of distinction precisely because it fails to distinguish civilians from militants. It also potentially violates the principle of proportionality. There are limits to even unintentional civilian deaths in war. The number of civilians killed in a military action cannot be “excessive in relation to the concrete and direct overall military advantage anticipated.” The president’s system of counting civilian deaths is only one potentially criminal component of his drones program. In February, The Bureau of Investigative Journalism and the Sunday Times published the results of a joint investigation into the practice of targeting rescuers who converge on the scene of an initial drone strike. They concluded that between 2009 and 2011, more than a dozen such attacks occurred, resulting in the deaths of at least 50 civilians. After a brief lull, similar attacks were carried out numerous times this year. The most recent “double tap” occurred last month in Pakistan.

Of course, the president attempts to evade accountability by presuming all those killed in both the initial strike and the follow-up to be militants. Fire and medical personnel are terrorists? Not everyone agrees. There is a growing international movement against the impunity with which President Obama runs his drones program. UN Special Rapporteur on Human Rights and Counter-Terrorism Ben Emmerson has called for an independent investigation into each and every death that results from drone strikes. Such investigations are worthwhile in response to all future drone attacks, but are too little too late for those already victimized by President Obama’s potential war crimes. We need more than an end to the “conspiracy of silence” concerning the president’s drone attacks; we need an investigation into the legality of the Obama Administration’s favored means of making war. U.S. foreign policy cannot be immunized from the very same laws used as the impetus for applying sanctions and making war against others. International law’s legitimacy is grounded in its consistent application. Selectively applying and enforcing international law undermines the law, as well as the moral high ground claimed by those who use it as a tool against “rogue” elements while immunizing themselves. *** Jeff Bachman is a professor of human rights at American University, with a focus in state responsibility for violations of international human rights and humanitarian law. Page 4 Thursday, November 22, 2012 Lower dividend tax rates benefit all Americans Pablo Vegas, President and Chief Operating Officer AEP Ohio Despite the rhetoric of the recent election, one fact remains — unless Congress and the President act soon, income taxes on millions of low- and moderateincome Americans will increase and tax incentives to invest in American businesses will go away Jan. 1. Given the state of our still precarious recovery, this is the wrong time to make this type of tax change. The tax increases will come from the expiration of lower tax rates on corporate dividends – the payments that corporations make to their shareholders when they distribute earnings. While this may sound like a concern just for the rich, this is far from the case. Millions of Americans will be affected through their participation in mutual funds, retirement accounts, and other investments. Americans at all income levels own stocks that pay dividends. Recent Internal Revenue Service (IRS) data shows that taxpayers with adjusted gross incomes of less than $50,000 accounted for 40 percent of the returns with qualified dividends. Taxpayers with adjusted incomes of less than $100,000 accounted for 68 percent of all returns with qualified dividend income. These taxpayers If Congress and the President do nothing, the tax rate on dividends will increase from a fixed 15 percent to the taxpayer’s marginal tax rate, which could be as high as 43.4 percent. — Pablo Vegas President and CEO of AEP Ohio will be negatively affected by any increase in the tax rates on corporate dividends. Keep in mind that many retirees, who are often on fixed incomes, count on dividends to supplement their pensions and Social Security income. Indeed, dividend-paying utility stocks, such as American Electric Power, have long been a favorite investment for retirees. IRS data also shows that in recent years, sixty-three percent of tax returns filed with dividend income were from people 50 and older, and 32 percent were from people 65 and older. If Congress and the President do nothing, the tax rate on dividends will increase from a fixed 15 percent to the taxpayer’s marginal tax rate, which could be as high as 43.4 percent. That’s almost a three-fold increase for the highest income group. Taxpayers could take another financial hit as well. Because investors know corporate dividends will be taxed at a higher rate, they likely will place a lower value on dividend-paying stocks. So, in addition to paying more in taxes, investors could see the value of their dividend-paying investments decline, including dividend-paying stocks owned through 401K plans. Congress also should maintain tax-rate parity for all investment income, both dividends and capital gains. Failure to maintain the same tax rate on investment income will drive stockholders to favor growth stocks over dividend-paying stocks and will further erode the value of dividend-paying investments. Congress and the President can prevent this by extending the current lower tax rate on dividends and maintaining comparable tax rates for all investment income. Contact your representatives in Congress and tell them that we need sensible dividend tax policy that will provide greater security and encourage investment to support jobs, growth and economic security.

Obama hails ceasefire Feeney-Bennett Post between Israel, Hamas 128 presents awards WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama is hailing a cease-fire agreement to end a week of deadly fighting between Israel and Hamas militants in the Gaza Strip. The White House said Obama talked to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Wednesday and commended him for agreeing to the Egyptian cease-fire proposal, which Obama had recommended the prime minister accept. The deal would end a week of fighting that has killed more than 140 Palestinians and five Israelis. Obama told Netanyahu that the United States will use the opportunity offered by a cease-fire to intensify efforts to help Israel address its security needs, especially the smuggling of weapons and explosives into Gaza, the White House said in a statement. Obama also spoke to Egyptian President Mohammed Morsi and thanked him for his efforts to achieve the agreement, as well as his personal leadership in negotiating the proposal. Obama and Morsi agreed on the importance of working toward a more durable solution in Gaza, the White House said. The cease-fire agreement capped days of intense efforts that drew the world’s top diplomats into the fray. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton stood next to Egypt’s foreign minister, Mohammed Kamel Amr, as he announced the breakthrough at a news conference in Cairo. The agreement will “improve conditions for the people of Gaza and provide security for the people of Israel,” Clinton said. Israel launched a fierce offensive in Gaza last week to stop months of intensifying rocket attacks. Even after the deal was announced, an air-raid siren signaled a rocket attack in southern Israel, while an airstrike could be heard in Gaza. In his call with Netanyahu, Obama said he would seek more money for a defense system known as Iron Dome that has protected Israel from rocket attacks, the White House said. In his call with Morsi, Obama reaffirmed the close partnership between the United States and Egypt and welcomed Morsi’s commitment to regional security, the White House said. MIDDLEPORT — Feeney-Bennett Post #128 American Legion of Middleport recently held their annual Thanksgiving Day meal followed by awards night at the post annex. Members and their guests enjoyed a traditional turkey dinner with all the trimmings. Following the dinner, long time member and Post Service Officer, Mike Floccari, was presented wit an engraved plaque for being chosen Legionnaire of the Decade. Floccari is a US Navy veteran of World War II. Second Vice Commander, Tom Kibble, was then presented a jacket with the Post’s name embroidered on the back for being chosen Legionnaire of the Year.Kibble served with the US Air Force in Vietnam. Roscoe Wise, Adjutant, presenting the awards, spoke of the value each recipient was to the nation in war time and to their Post now. Afterward, the members accepted the invitation from the village to lead the Middleport Christmas parade at 4:30 p.m. on Dec. 1. Honors From Page 1 The Area Agency on Aging offers certified staff specialists in aging information and assistance who are ready to connect seniors and their families to services. In 2000, the Area Agency on Aging District 7 Family Caregiver Support Program, which serves Gallia County, was created through funding provided by the Older Americans Act. The term caregiver refers to anyone who provides assistance to someone else who, to some degree, needs help performing the daily tasks essential to living a normal life. Formal caregivers are paid care providers associated with a service system, but informal or unpaid caregivers such as a spouse, friend, significant other, other family member, or neighbor do not receive pay for the assistance they provide. Unpaid or informal family caregivers will likely continue to be the largest source of longterm care services in the United States providing an estimated value of $450 billion worth of service each year. Day in and day out, more than 65 million family caregivers in the United States fulfill this vital role, providing more than 80 percent of all homecare services. According to AARP, nine out of 10 seniors prefer to “age in place” — or to receive long term care in the comfort of their own long time home. Caregivers like Torres are essential to the success of such living arrangements. “I want to keep him home as much as I can,” Torres explained. “In the long run, I think it’s easier for folks to be at home — if at all possible.” Sometimes that commitment means tracking her father’s 17 daily prescriptions and supplements or getting him to doctor’s appointments. Other days it means making sure he eats. “It can be keeping them going when they don’t want to keep going — because you love them,” Torres said. The AAA7 Family Caregiver Support Program offers counseling and caregiver training. Additional services include: information about available services for the caregiver and the person they are caring for, assistance in gaining access to those services, respite care, and supplemental or one-time purchases to complement the care being provided. Eligibility for respite and supplemental services are determined during an assessment that is conducted by an AAA7 employee. The Area Agency on Aging says while serving a loved one is challenging and rewarding, it is also a demanding job. Caregivers often fail to realize the importance of taking a break for their own health and well-being. Even though many families are committed to providing care to their loved ones so that they can remain at home, the physical, emotional and financial consequences for the family caregiver can be overwhelming. That is why the agency helps to connect caregivers with information and support. Over the past decade, the awareness gained by family caregivers and others has changed caregiving from a private family situation to a societal issue. Today, policy makers, employers, insurers, and healthcare professionals are beginning to address the concerns of family caregivers. Family caregiving is an issue for all of us. The AAA7 believes it is important for places of business to recognize that employees are often providing care for loved ones and may need assistance. As a community member, you can take action by delivering dinner to a caregiving family once a week, offering to provide the caregiver a short break, or providing transportation. The Family Caregiver Support Program at the AAA7 can offer advice and check on options that may be in your community depending on availability, eligibility and other factors. As more and more individuals are being cared for at home by loved ones and friends, there is an even greater need to have as much caregiving support options and services available as possible. The AAA7 continues to advocate for caregivers and advocate for the continuation and growth of support services and programs to best benefit their needs. The National Family Caregivers Association (www.nfcacares.org) encourages caregivers to: • Believe in yourself – Try to maintain a positive attitude by recognizing your strengths and limitations. • Protect your health – Try to maintain your physical and emotional health and well-being. Your good health is the greatest gift you can give your loved one and your entire family. • Reach out for help – Reaching out and asking for help is never a sign of weakness, rather it demonstrates strength and a keen awareness of your own abilities and sense of self. • Speak up for your rights – Be knowledgeable of the issues surrounding your loved one’s diagnosis and treatment options. Advocate for your loved one and develop strong selfadvocacy skills for not only your loved one, but for you, as well. AAA8 serves families in Meigs County. AAA7 serves families in Gallia County.

Sandy victims prepare for Thanksgiving NEW YORK (AP) — The things that Marge Gatti once cherished are lying on what’s left of her deck, spattered in mud, like a yard sale gone awry. The white fur coat she bought for $80 at an auction. Family videos. A peachcolored glass creamer from England. Books she never got a chance to read. The stuff is ruined, just like her sodden Staten Island home, which was ravaged by Superstorm Sandy’s floodwaters and will be demolished in the coming weeks. Of all things material, Gatti has nothing. And yet, on Thanksgiving Day, she will be counting her blessings. “My sons are alive. They were trapped here,” said Gatti, 67, who lived in the beige home down the block from the Atlantic Ocean for 32 years. “I’m thankful that I have all my family. And that my friends are still here, you know? We’re all friends now. There’s no strangers in life anymore.” It will be a subdued Thanksgiving for families hit hard by the storm as they gather with friends and strangers alike, seeking to celebrate the people and things that were spared when so much was lost. But they will not be left to fend for themselves. Restaurants are donating meals, strangers and churches are opening their doors, and people from across the nation have sent an outpouring of donations for those unable to roast their own turkey.

The Bears, who dropped two of three meetings with Rio last season, improved to 4-3 overall and 2-1 in the MSC with the win. The RedStorm slipped under the .500 mark for the first time this season, dropping to 3-4 overall and 1-2 in league play. Rio Grande trailed 26-21 following a pair of free throws by senior guard Kaleb Kimber with 9:56 left in the first half, but by the time the RedStorm scored again on a jumper by senior forward Turrell Morris with 5:48 remaining before halftime, Shawnee had built what proved to be an insurmountable lead.

All of the all-district selections were honored during a banquet at Ponderosa in Jackson on Monday, Nov. 5. There were three locals honored with special honors, as Southern senior Kody Wolfe was named one of two runners of the year in Division III boys. Eastern coach Josh Fogle and EHS sophomore Taylor Palmer were also respectively selected as the D-3 coach of the year and runner of the year for girls. Eastern led the area with six selections overall, followed by Gallia Academy and Southern with three apiece. Palmer, Fogle, Chantel Barnhart, Keri Lawrence, Asia Michael and Tyson Long were all chosen from EHS in Division III, while Wolfe, Jennifer McCoy and Justin Hettinger rounded out the D-3 choices from Southern.

(Bryan Walters/photo) Many unhappy OSU can go 12-0 but still stay home COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Any other year Ohio State is unbeaten and ranked No. 4 coming into its annual rivalry game with Michigan, its fans would be trolling the internet for the best airfares to the BCS title game. Not this time. Due to NCAA sanctions, Ohio State is banned from playing for the Big Ten championship next week and going to a bowl, and isn’t a factor in the national title picture. So a wondrous and surprising season — 11-0 heading into Saturday’s home game with the 20th-ranked Wolverines — will come to an abrupt and premature end on Saturday. Many of the faithful blame athletic director Gene Smith, who gambled and lost that the NCAA wouldn’t levy a bowl ban. Letters to the editor in the local newspaper, calls to sports talk shows and posts on fan websites all spew vitriol at Smith, who had served on the NCAA’s committee on infractions and believed the penalties he and Ohio State’s administrators had proposed would be sufficient to appease the ruling body of intercollegiate sports. “At the time we made the decision we felt confident that we would not receive the bowl ban,” Smith said on Tuesday. “Obviously, when we received it we were shocked and devastated.” The sanctions stem from former coach Jim Tressel learning in April 2010 that several players had likely received free tattoos and cash from the subject of a federal drug investigation. NCAA rules require coaches to notify the association or their superiors when they have any information that violations may have taken place, including improper benefits to athletes. Also, Tressel’s contract clearly specified that he was required to report any hint of wrongdoing. Yet he didn’t tell anyone. It was only after the Buckeyes had completed a 12-1 record, won the Big Ten and the Sugar Bowl, that investigators looking into another matter came across incriminating emails which proved that Tressel had knowledge of potential violations. Tressel was forced to resign in late May 2011. Ohio State officials worked closely with the NCAA in a lengthy investigation that also turned up evidence of other violations. In July, roughly a month before Ohio State’s hearing before the NCAA’s committee on infractions, Smith said he believed the selfimposed sanctions, which included vacating the 2010 season, returning bowl money, five-game suspensions for several players, NCAA probation and recruiting limitations, would be enough to mollify the NCAA. He said there would be no bowl ban “unless something new arises.” That proved to be prophetic. On the eve of the opening game of the 2011 season, with defensive assistant Luke Fickell taking over as interim coach, three players were suspended for each accepting $200 in cash from a booster at a charity event. Midway through the season, several more players were found to have been paid too much for summer jobs. Starting wide receiver DeVier Posey would end up sitting out 10 games due to violations. By late October of a mediocre season, of course, Ohio State taking itself out of a bowl wouldn’t have carried a whole lot of weight with the NCAA. When final sanctions were announced shortly before Christmas, a month after Urban Meyer had been hired as coach, they included the 2012 bowl ban. “All I know is a lot of the seniors were pretty bummed out,” defensive lineman Garrett Goebel said. “A lot of the guys were pretty disappointed.” The NCAA does not explain its rulings. But it stands to reason that the violations which came to light See OSU ‌| 6 �ANNOUNCEMENTS Notices Business • Prompt and Quality Work • Reasonable Rates • Insured • Experienced • References Available Gary Stanley 740-591-8044 60353251 Stanley Tree Trimming & Removal Please leave a message FINANCIAL 300 SERVICES SERVICE / BUSINESS DIRECTORY Fully Insured 25 years Experience CALL Marcum Construction Commercial & Residential Pets Grave Blankets $5-$30; live Wreaths $10 & up; Sue's 47310 Morningstar Rd., Racine, Oh 740-949-2115 SERVICES General Remodeling Room Additions Roofing Garages Pole Barns Mike W.

The Bears improved to 7-1 overall and 2-1 in the MSC with the win, rebounding from a loss to Cumberland (TN) University on Saturday. Rio Grande slipped to 2-4 overall and 0-3 in league play with a third straight loss. The RedStorm hit just five of their 33 first half field goal attempts (15.2 percent) and trailed by as many as 21 points before settling on a 39-22 deficit at the intermission. Shawnee’s lead stood at 18 points, 45-27, when Rio Grande embarked on an 11-1 deficit which closed the gap to 46-38 following a pair of free throws by sophomore forward Janie Morris. That’s when Abbady, a 6-foot-2 junior forward, went to work. Abbady, who was inserted into the lineup when starting center Schera Sampson picked up three fouls during Rio’s comeback run, scored eight straight points of her own to extend the Bears lead to 16 points, 54-38, before capping the scoring spurt by hitting one of two free throw tries to make it 61-40 with 8:20 left in the game. Shawnee’s biggest lead of the night came two minutes later when a three-pointer by Allanah Sheets made it 67-45 and the RedStorm got no closer than 12 points the rest of the way. Alex Pohl led Shawnee’s winning effort with 17 points and 10 rebounds, while Sampson and Abbady finished with 16 and 15 points, respectively. Sheets added 10 points, six assists and three steals. Freshman forward Sarah Bonar had a game-high 21 points, including 19 in the second half, to lead a trio of double-digit scorers for Rio Grande. Junior forward Kate Hammond finished with 12 points, while senior guard Shardai Morrison-Fountain added 10 points, four assists and six steals. The two teams combined for 55 turnovers — 28 against Rio Grande and 27 against the Bears — in addition to 47 personal fouls which, in turn, produced 58 combined free throw attempts. Rio connected on 14-of-32 second half shots (43.8 percent) to finish 19-for-65 in the game (29.2 percent). The RedStorm will return to action on Thursday, Nov. 29, traveling to Wise, Va. to face the University of Virginia’s College at Wise in another Mid-South Conference contest. Cavs guard Irving frustrated by latest injury INDEPENDENCE, Ohio (AP) — Kyrie Irving couldn’t handle playing with just one hand. Now, it’s the Cleveland Cavaliers turn. Irving will be sidelined for the next month with a broken left index finger, the latest injury to the NBA’s reigning rookie of the year and a devastating blow to the rebuilding Cavs, who have lost six straight and must face playing without their talented star point guard. “It’s frustrating,” Irving said Wednesday. “But we’re just going to get through it and just gotta stay positive.” Right now, that’s about all the 20-yearold can do. Irving suspected his finger was hurt badly on Saturday, when he inadvertently struck the foot of Dallas’ Darren Collison while trying to swipe the ball from the Mavericks guard. Irving returned to the game after X-rays came back negative. He played the rest of the game with his finger heavily taped and again on Sunday night at Philadelphia. But Irving wasn’t the same, and he struggled handling the ball while scoring a season-low 9 points on 4-of-14 shooting. “I couldn’t hold onto the ball, especially at the end of the game when I’m at my best,” he said. “It was frustrating.” An MRI taken Monday revealed a hairline fracture, an injury he could play through but at the risk of doing more damage and missing several months. The Cavs aren’t taking any chances. “If he really gets this thing hit again, then it requires surgery and then instead of weeks, you’re talking about months,” Cavs coach Byron Scott said. “I don’t think we’re being overly cautious by saying, Ed Suba Jr./Akron Beacon Journal/MCT photo The Cleveland Cavaliers’ Kyrie Irving (2) drives to the basket past Washington Wizards defenders Bradley Beal (3) and Emeka Okafor during the first quarter at Quicken Loans Arena on Tuesday, October 30, 2012, in Cleveland, Ohio. The Cavs topped the Wizards, 94-84. ‘Let’s shut it down and see how it looks in a couple weeks and go from there.’” The broken finger is the latest medical setback for Irving, who dismissed the idea he was injury prone when the Cavs opened training camp in October. Back then, he was returning from a broken right hand he sustained when Irving slammed a pad- ded wall in frustration during a summer league practice. Last season, Irving missed 15 games with a shoulder sprain and concussion. His college career at Duke was limited to 11 games because of a serious foot injury that took nearly one year to completely heal. “I’m just glad it’s not injuries, knock on wood, such as something that could keep me out for six months,” Irving said. “I’m going to miss a few games, I’m aware of that but you just gotta stay positive. Things happen in the game of basketball and obviously I can play, but I’m just being cautious right now.” As soon as he hurt his finger, Irving sensed it was serious. “I just knew it wasn’t a jammed finger,” he said. “I’ve jammed almost every finger on my hand, so I just knew when it started turning black and blue. I just thought it was a bad sprain, but it turned out to be broken.” After sitting and watching practice, Irving, with his index and middle fingers taped together and braced by a splint, stayed on the floor and shot jumpers. Scott would prefer if Irving would stay off the court completely, but he knows better than to ask. “He’s hardheaded,” Scott said. Irving and Scott have formed a close bond that goes deeper than player and coach. Scott feels Irving’s disappointment and he’s doing all he can to keep his best player’s spirits high. “This morning just watching him and talking to him briefly he was a little frustrated,” Scott said. “But he’ll get over it. He understands right now we have to do the best thing for Kyrie. That’s getting this treatment, letting this thing heal and not putting him in harm’s way.” The Cavs are just 2-8 with Irving, who entered the season intent on improving his already superb game and hopefully bringing his team along for the ride. Cleveland will be without him for as many 20 games, and Scott has no idea if the Cavs can improve without Irving leading them. “It’s always one of those things where one of your best players goes down, it’s an opportunity for other guys,” Scott said. “That’s how our guys have to look at it. We haven’t changed our outlook going into games. The main thing is to go in there, try and compete and win.” “Now that he’s out, we’re still trying to focus on those little things we’re trying to improve on.” Scott has not decided if he’ll start Donald Sloan or Jeremy Pargo in place of Irving, whose 22.9 points, 5.6 assists and 3.7 rebounds per game will be tough to replace. Rookie Dion Waiters, who starts at shooting guard, will continue to play some point. As difficult as it might be, Scott knows there’s no sense in dwelling on Irving’s injury. With 72 games left, the Cavaliers must move on. “We still have a lot of games to go and we have a long ways to go to where we want to get to on both ends of the floor,” Scott said. “The biggest thing is, we still know we can win. We’ve just got to play a little bit of a different style on the offensive end, but we still feel we’ve got enough guys in this room capable of winning.” Just not the most important one. Jack Taylor scores 138 points for Grinnell Luke Meredith Associated Press Jack Taylor’s performance left even Kobe Bryant impressed. The Division III guard shattered the NCAA scoring record with 138 points, hoisting a mind-boggling 108 attempts — or one shot every 20 seconds — in eclipsing the previous record by 25 points. Taylor made 27 of 71 3-point attempts, was 52 of 108 overall from the field and added seven free throws on 10 attempts while playing 36 minutes in Grinnell’s 179-104 victory over Faith Baptist Bible on Tuesday night in Grinnell, Iowa. “That’s crazy, man. I don’t care what level you’re at. Scoring 138 points is pretty insane,” the Lakers’ superstar said after Los Angeles’ victory over the Nets. Even Taylor was having a hard time processing his feat. “I don’t think reality has set in yet,” said the 5-foot-10, 170-pound sophomore from Black River Falls, Wis. That’s partly because Taylor was coming off a poor shooting weekend and started Tuesday’s night game off slow — at least according to his standards. His coaches figured the best way to get him on track was for him to keep chucking, so that’s what Taylor did. “Maybe my cold shooting from the weekend was affecting me,” Taylor said. “But then they started to drop.” Taylor had 58 points at halftime. Then he got hot. Taylor was 32 of 58 from the field — including 18 3s — in the final 20 minutes and averaged an astonishing four points a minute in the second half. “It felt like anything I tossed up was going in,” Taylor said. Bryant, who has a shoe that bears his Black Mamba nickname, has a theory. “He must have been wearing the Mambas, man. Only Mambas have no conscience to shoot the ball that much,” said Bryant, who has an 81-point game, second-best in NBA history, on his resume. Rio Grande’s Bevo Francis held the NCAA scoring record with 113 points against Hillsdale in 1954. In 1953, Francis had 116 against Ashland Junior College. Frank Selvy is the only other player to reach triple figures, scoring 100 points for Division I Furman against Newberry in 1954. The previous Grinnell record was 89 by Griffin Lentsch last Nov. 19 against Principia. Taylor recently transferred to Grinnell, located about 50 miles east of Des Moines, after playing one season for Wisconsin-La Crosse. Under coach David Arseneault, the Pioneers press and shoot 3s like nobody else in the country at any level. They’ve led the nation in scoring for 17 of the past 19 seasons while ranking first nationally in 3-point shooting for the 15 of those past 19 years. Taylor’s game was so astounding it overshadowed the 70 points Faith Baptist’s David Larson had on 34-of-44 shooting. Carmelo Anthony and the New York Knicks were amazed by Taylor’s accomplishment when they heard about it after their victory in New Orleans. “I never heard of nothing like that. That’s like a video game,” Anthony said, an incredulous look on his face. “How can you shoot 100 times, though?” He joked that from now on when someone asks if he’s taking too many shots, he’ll mention “that someone shot it 108 times.” Raymond Felton also was astounded by the 108 shots. “His elbow has got to be sore,” Felton said.

OSU From Page 6 after Ohio State’s hearing may have resulted in stiffer penalties. “I don’t know what (the NCAA was) thinking. I appreciate the question, but you’re asking me to project what they were thinking. And I can’t,” Smith said. “I still don’t think our case overall deserved the bowl ban. “I’ve accepted that. I’ve moved on.” Meyer and the Buckeyes had some fits and starts but have won every game this season. Should they beat Michigan, it would mark only the sixth unbeaten and untied season in Ohio State’s 123 years of football. Fans look at the Buckeyes’ trip a year ago to the Gator Bowl — where they lost to Florida, 24-17, to complete a dreary 6-7 season — and wish Smith and Ohio State would have sacrificed that postseason trip to prevent losing the one this year. Now, one of only two unbeaten teams left in all of major-college football, Ohio State is resigned to sitting at home after its last regular-season game. Jim Lachey, an All-American lineman for the Buckeyes 198184, is now a radio analyst of Ohio State games. “I don’t know if anybody ever in the modern era of football dreams about going undefeated and not going somewhere. But that’s the price we pay,” he said. “It’s going to be weird after that Michigan game.” A large segment of fans remain angry at Smith, who declined to reveal how much negative feedback he has received. “I know it’s difficult to move on when we’re having so much success, but the reality is that there’s nothing at this point in time that anyone at this institution can do about that,” he said. Ohio State will be commemorating the 10th anniversary of its 2002 national championship team during Saturday’s game. The coach of that team was Tressel. Almost everyone ex- pects him to receive a cordial welcome from a crowd of more than 105,000 — even though he is the principal culprit in why the current team cannot also play for a national title. Smith, who is 56 and has been at Ohio State since 2005, said he is not contemplating retirement. He still enjoys the job and believes he is making a difference. Ohio State, although not listed in the BCS rankings because of its NCAA sanctions, is a longshot to still win an Associated Press national title if it is the nation’s only unbeaten team. If the Buckeyes can’t win it all, Smith will quietly pull for his alma mater. He was a four-year letterman as a defensive end for Notre Dame when it won the 1973 AP national championship. Smith has no regrets about decisions that were made during the NCAA deliberations. He stressed again that he has moved on. “There’s no doubt that people should have the feelings that they have relative to the bowl ban,” he said. “Of course. But there’s other people who understand the reality of what we’re dealing with and that we have to focus on what is in front of us. There’s certain things that we can’t change. “That’s where we are.” �Thursday, November 22, 2012 The Daily Sentinel • Page 9 www.mydailysentinel.com Thursday, November 22, 2012 ComiCs/EntErtainmEnt BLONDIE Dean Young/Denis Lebrun BEETLE BAILEY FUNKY WINKERBEAN HAGAR THE HORRIBLE HI & LOIS Mort Walker Today’s Answers Tom Batiuk Chris Browne Brian and Greg Walker THE LOCKHORNS MUTTS William Hoest Patrick McDonnell Jacquelene Bigar’s 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 Thursday, Nov. 22, 2012: This year you are full of get-upand-go, and you might be difficult to stop.

Instead of facing Notre Dame for a shot at a national championship, the Trojans’ star quarterback is sidelined with a sprained shoulder. Instead of playing for the nation’s No. 1 team, Barkley’s unranked teammates are playing against it. If this is his storybook ending, Barkley would like to fire the author. Yet a month of disappointment and discouragement culminating in an injured shoulder still isn’t enough to shake Barkley’s faith in his decision to return for one more season in the only uniform he ever dreamed of wearing. “I took a chance,” Barkley said Tuesday while a black sling supported his arm. “I don’t think enough guys really go for it enough these days, and I did.” Barkley will watch the Trojans’ regular-season finale Saturday from the sideline after getting hurt on a sack in last week in USC’s loss to UCLA. He doesn’t know whether he’ll recover in time to play in the Trojans’ bowl game, although coach Lane Kiffin is optimistic. Optimism still isn’t difficult to find at USC, even after three losses in four games — and that’s mostly due to Barkley’s leadership. The Trojans (7-4, 5-4 Pac12) plummeted out of the Top 25 after starting the season at No. 1, yet the furor over their performance is mostly confined to their fans and college football pundits. Kevin Sullivan/Orange County Register/MCT photo USC quarterback Matt Barkley celebrates his 100th career touchdown pass, setting a Pac-12 record, during a 50-6 win over Colorado at the Los Angeles Coliseum on Saturday, October 20, 2012, in Los Angeles, California. Barkley and the Trojans thought they had a shot at the Heisman Trophy and the national title. They’ll get neither, yet they’re still having fun. “It didn’t turn out the way I planned,” Barkley said. “But I think over these last four years, and especially this year, I’ve learned so much. (I’ve) grown, matured a lot since last year I really think, and that will prepare me for the next level and for later in life. I don’t regret it one bit.” With the perspective of time, Barkley knows he’ll feel even bet- ter about his achievements during his four seasons at USC. He rewrote the conference record book during a USC-record 47 starts over four seasons, becoming the Pac-12’s leader in touchdown passes, yards passing, completions and total offense. And Barkley looms as an important leader in USC’s history, representing his teammates as their spokesman when the program was leveled by NCAA sanctions in 2010. He never wavered in his commitment during a twoyear bowl ban, standing up for the school that first captured his imagination as a kid growing up in Orange County. “I can’t feel worse for a family and for a kid,” Kiffin said. “The fact that he’s not running down that tunnel in his last game, and now two times in a row he doesn’t get to play Notre Dame, it’s very unfortunate. We feel as bad as we can, but he’ll be stronger for it. He’ll come out of this thing, and we’re going to go out and play great for him.” Kiffin had lobbied Barkley to stay at USC for his senior year since shortly after he took the job in 2010, and the former Oakland Raiders coach has consciously attempted to prepare Barkley for the NFL throughout his final two seasons. Kiffin is taking it a step further this week: While redshirt freshman Max Wittek studies defenses in preparation for his first career start, Barkley is attending game-planning meetings with Kiffin’s coaching staff. “Matt has been in some of our coaching meetings as far as preparation, how we break down the defense as coordinators and the different personnel, and how we attack everything,” Kiffin said. “(We) just thought that would be good for him in a time that there’s not much for him to do, to help prepare him on how to prepare for the next level.” Wittek and fellow freshman backup Cody Kessler have praised Barkley’s generosity and instruction. The senior plans to be in Wittek’s ear on the sideline with encouragement and instruction while facing the Irish’s imposing defense. Barkley should know soon whether he can play in his first postseason game since the 2009 Emerald Bowl in San Francisco. He’s more focused on trying to finish a low season on a high note, even if he has to celebrate on the sideline. “We’re in a hungry mood right now to get a win, and I think it’ll send us into December feeling great,” Barkley said. “Nothing is always as it’s supposed to be in life. Sometimes things go as planned, but a lot of the times, things go unaccording to plan. So it’s just something you have to deal with, and I’ll handle it and stay positive.” Big 12 releases West Virginia’s 2013 schedule pionship Subdivision opponent William & Mary.

West Virginia will have no games on Oct. 12 and Nov. 23. Coaches: Big Ten’s big footprint a plus David Mercer Associated Press 60366688 M O RGA N TOW N, W.Va. (AP) — West Virginia will have six home football games next season, including the Aug. 31 opener against Cham- Big Ten football coaches endorsed the league’s growing membership Tuesday, noting that the addition of Maryland and Rutgers will likely lead to tens if not hundreds of millions of new dollars. A couple of them said they thought the players ought to share in the payday, too. “Hopefully through all this we’ll make some decisions to be able to distribute this money to the players as far as, if we’re getting ready to go to postseason play here, it would be great to be able to take care of their families or guardian, to be able to help them fly to a bowl game,” Northwestern coach Pat Fitzgerald said. “And take some of the money and allow them to get more money from bowl gifts and things of that nature that they’ve earned.” The NCAA doesn’t allow players to be paid beyond scholarships and doesn’t allow schools, for instance, to help players’ families get to games. The NCAA is considering whether to allow $2,000 stipends for athletes. Many coaches agree with Fitzgerald, Nebraska’s Bo Pelini said, but the decision isn’t theirs or the Big Ten’s to make. “Obviously, the NCAA has a big say in whether that ever comes to fruition,” he said. Most of the coaches said that, based on the addition of Nebraska two years ago, they’ll have little input on how two new teams affect the alignment of the Big Ten’s two divisions. When news that Nebraska would join the Big Ten broke, Wisconsin’s Bret Bielema put considerable thought into the best way to bring the Cornhuskers on board. “I even wasted probably a couple days of my life trying to come up with a great answer and had some input, but the way it all kind of shook out it was out of my hands,” he said. “But I couldn’t be happier with the way they got laid out.” Michigan State’s Mark Dantonio said that, given the four or five years most coaches stay in one job, schools and the conference understandably don’t ask for much input from them. “I think these decisions are made for the longevity of college football and the longevity of the institution, which is the way it should be,” he said. Most coaches said Tuesday that — much as they did when Nebraska joined the conference — rivalries are the most important thing to try to preserve as divisions are realigned and schedules made. With Nebraska’s addition the conference allowed schools to preserve annual games against preferred rivals even if the schools were in different divisions, such as Illinois and Northwestern. Those longstanding rivalries are “the backbone of college football,” firstyear Illini coach Tim Beckman said, and should be a priority. “I think first of all it’s a sign of times — clearly the landscape in college football has changed very dramatically in the last 20 years,” said Iowa coach Kirk Ferentz. “I think that the people that make those decisions in our conference do a fantastic job. … And I think overall it’s going to be the best thing for our conference, just like adding Penn State years ago and then Nebraska have proven to be good for our conference.” NEW RIVALRLY, NEW TROPHY? Wisconsin’s Bret Bielema said he hopes to keep a school on the schedule that he believes is growing into a strong rival for the Badgers: Penn State. The teams play this weekend and the schools’ athletic directors have talked about making it a trophy game, he said, like Paul Bunyan’s Axe that the Badgers and Minnesota now play for. “I sure do like playing Penn State,” he said. “I’d love to protect that in any way, shape or form.” LONG ROAD TRIPS The addition of two East Coast teams will mean long road trips for some of the Big Ten’s westernmost teams, but Iowa’s Kirk Ferentz isn’t worried about how well Hawkeye fans will travel to Maryland or New Jersey. “One thing about Iowa, there are Iowans everywhere,” he said, then recalling road trips across the country when he was an assistant coach with the Cleveland Browns in the mid-1990s. “My first year in Cleveland, we played in Seattle, and there were Browns backers everywhere.” Visit us online at www.mydailysentinel.com � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
