By unanimous vote Council authorized Mayor Mike Gerlach, on behalf of the village, to enter into an agreement with Choice One Engineering Corpora- tion to provide engineering services for the planning, design and construction of the well. Council also voted to place a three mill levy on the March ballot as a renewal levy to be used for current expenses of the village operation.

The dinner and show at the Southern High School Charles W. Hayman Gymnasium was a fund-raiser for scholarships. It is also a great opportunity for the community to hear what the RY program is doing in the lives of teens. This year the evening started off with guest speaker, Javier Sanchez. He is a comedian, motivational speaker and author of “Look in My Mirror.” About 150 people listened to Sanchez speak of the need to positively influence youth because, “We are at war for the souls of our young people.” Sanchez urged parents to be active in the lives of their children. He said that advertisers spend 150 billion dollars a year telling teens they need to change something about themselves, making them feel there is something wrong with them that the product can fix. Parents, teachers and community members need to reinforcing the value of youth. Following Sanchez was a line up of performers.

Mike Tonkovich, ODNR Division of Wildlife, said that bow hunting continues to grow in popularity and has had an impact on the gun season harvest. The Division of Wildlife encourages deer hunters to make this year special for Ohio’s hungry by donating a deer to the Farmers and Hunters Feeding the Hunger program. It was noted that last year hunters showed they cared by donating enough deer meat to prepare 500,600 meals to Ohioans in need. Hunters who give their deer to a food bank are not required to pay the processing cost as long as the deer are taken to a participating processor.

(Submitted photo) URG/RGCC launches new club on campus RIO GRANDE — A new club at the University of Rio Grande/Rio Grande Community College (URG/RGCC) is bringing some fun and entertaining projects to campus. The brand new Finer Things Club is made up of students and faculty members who work together to come up with creative ideas for activities on campus. “We’re just interested in doing projects that are fun,” said Benjy Davies, a faculty member who is part of the group. On Sept. 20, the group held a “Poetry and Pottery,” event, where everyone who took part helped make pottery, shared poetry and enjoyed pancakes. The event had a theme of including events starting with the letter, “P” and it proved to be very popular. “It was great,” Davies said. Some members of the group took photos of the event and are planning to turn the photos into a short documentary.

Project From Page 1 discussed with council the issue he has with mine runoff water near his home on Chestnut Street. He said the problem has existed for many years and he would like the village’s help in correcting the situation. The possibility of diverting the water to a storm sewer will be checked into by the village. Several residents were present and expressed their unhappiness with the village’s new jail project. Their concern seemed to center around not having enough money generated by the jail operation to pay the debt. The mayor explained that the issue had been studied in detail and that the bankers involved and the State Bureau of Adult Corrections felt confident the jail would generate enough to pay the debt as well as operational expenses. Council member Sandra Brown explained Council’s study of the facts before moving forward on the project and suggested that perhaps some residents might be listening to rumors or opinions of people who don’t have all the facts. Councilman Craig Wehrung expressed his unhappiness with Peoples Bank which will be closing its bank in Middleport. Mayor Gerlach report he had spoken with other banks with an interest in moving into the village. He also said it looks like there is a chance a grovery store will be opening up and that it might host a bank in its building. The mayor’s report showed October Court revenue of $3,873 with $3,221 being the village’s share. Council members attending the meeting were Wehrung, Brown, Rae Moore, Emerson Heighton and Shawn Rice. From Page 1 teacher Don Dudding was joined by his wife, Ruth and their daughters, Olivia and Ellie. The Dudding’s played and sang “I Can’t Say” from Don’s CD “Bubble Lawn”. They also performed a Stephen Foster song, “Hard Times.” Other performers included Ashli Thompson, Madison Maynard, Marlee Maynard, Mikayla Grubb, Jene Grubb, Avery King, Hailey Staats, Natalie Harrison, Jaden Connolly, Kali Cleland, Rhanda Cross, Jacob Hoback, Mickey Kusczma, Jamie O’Brien, Ceiarra Curran and numerous Southern Local staff. While raising money was part of the evening, it was also an opportunity to allow students to gain confidence and gain leadership skills. RY student Ceiarra Curran said she gained a lot from the RY program. “It helps you get yourself out there,” she said. Curran moved out of the area for awhile and when Campus From Page 1 Finer Things Club invited 45 second grade students from Rio Grande Elementary School to assist with the project.

She said it also has helped strengthen good choice decisions in her life. Southern High School principal, Daniel Otto, said the class has definitely had an impact on the students and the school. “We have seen a positive difference in attitudes, decision making, and have seen more students get involved in extra-curricular and co-curricular activities. They are making better choices and it is making a positive difference in the school.” The RY program is currently only available at Southern High School with Amy Roush teaching. The program targets three specific areas of school achievement (grades and attendance), non-drug use, and mood management. The class is structured completely different from typical curriculum. The students have an environment structured to allow them to express themselves while also gaining understanding about themselves, their peers and their community. Personal responsibility is a key component to the program. Roush said the program has been funded with the Safe and Drug Free School Grant. “This evening has been outstanding with the com- munity coming together to really reinforce to our kids how much they matter. It is very successful. We really appreciate the support.” The evening ended with a visit from Santa Claus for the children. dents making the piles, moving them around and then leaving them on The Green. The leaves were left there for about two weeks, and the Finer Things Club is also planning to make a short film out of the photos of the leaf piles being created, moved around and then disappearing. A third project, “Grace,” was held on Monday, Nov. 21. On this day, students, faculty and staff were invited to Conference Room C in- side the Davis University Center for an afternoon of drinking tea, eating cookies and discussing the different things they are grateful for. The event did not have a formal program — it was just an opportunity for those attending to share positive thoughts and interact with each other. The club was inspired by a “Finer Things Club,” on the popular television show, “The Office,” and it is serving as fun and creative outlet for stu- dents, faculty and staff at Rio Grande. It’s also another great example of how students, faculty and staff work together closely on the small campus and how individuals and small groups of people are able to successfully start new clubs, organizations and activities in order to meet the different interests of people at Rio Grande.

An in-depth review of each organization was conducted according to the program’s rating criteria, which consist of program impact, need, budget accuracy, targeting, organization history, staff experience, program feasibility, program coordination, project design/ outcomes and Homeless Management Information System implementation. Statewide, the grant funds will assist approxi- mately 31,000 persons and leverage approximately $46.3 million in additional funding. Funding for the Homeless Assistance Grant Programs comes from the Federal Emergency Shelter Grant Program and Ohio Housing Trust Fund. Ohio Valley weather Friday: Mostly sunny, with a high near 50.

President Barack Obama and his family officially marked the start of the Christmas season by lighting the tree in a ceremony just after dark Thursday. The 26-foot Colorado blue spruce was planted in March on the Ellipse, a park that lies between the White House and the National Mall. Strong winds in February toppled the previous tree, which stood in the park since 1978. In remarks delivered during the tree-lighting cer- emony, Obama urged the crowd to be generous and to help others in need during the holidays. “In this season of hope, let’s help those who need it most: the homeless, the hungry, the sick and shutin,” he said. “In this season of plenty, let’s reach out to those who struggle to find work or provide for their families.” Obama welcomed troops returning home in time for the holiday, and asked Americans to express their gratitude to service members. �Friday, December 2, 2011 www.mydailysentinel.com Ask Dr. Brothers She wants abuser back By Dr. Joyce Brothers Dear Dr. Brothers: My boyfriend and I have always had a rocky relationship — lots of fights, great makeup sex, the whole bit. Well, things got out of hand one night and spilled out onto the street, and someone called the cops because he hit me. So now he is in prison, and I am feeling guilty. Every time I visit him, he cries and tells me how much he misses me and our two kids. Things are really hard without him. I don’t know whether to take him back or let him rot in jail. — B.D. Dear B.D.: It’s not unusual for abused women to have very mixed feelings when it comes to the men they love. You remember the good times, and sometimes even the bad — if an episode always ends in great sex, somehow it seems as though that’s the important part. He must love you if he still wants you, right? And when you see him in prison, you easily can imagine how awful it must be there for him. And he wouldn’t be in there if it weren’t for you — is that how your thought pattern goes when you begin to feel guilty? All this is a typical pattern when it comes to dealing with an abuser, including the pleas for sympathy when he finds himself nearing his release with no place to go. It could be that he loves you and the children in his own twisted way. But if you take him back, there will be a next time. You may be in- terested in the results of an Ohio University study, recently published in the journal Social Science Medicine. Researchers found that while the common assumption was that abused women dropped charges against their boyfriends and husbands because of threats of more violence, that was not the case. The abusers appealed to the sympathy Dr. Joyce Brothers of the victims with pleas of love, saying they missed the kids and how horrible it was in jail. Sound familiar? A word to the wise — while he is gone, seek some help. *** Dear Dr. Brothers: I stumbled upon a neat used bookstore in a nearby town, and after I chatted with the owner for a half-hour or so, he asked me out for coffee. This was a month ago, and we’ve had several dates since then. We always talk books, and I find him intellectually exciting. I’m a book collector, and he has lots of knowledge of my field of interest. But that’s where it ends, for me. He keeps trying affectionate gestures, and I don’t know how to respond. Help! — P.W. Dear P.W.: I suppose you have gotten yourself into this situation by allowing it to be defined by the typical “dating” scenario. If you had just wanted to be friends and pick his brain about book collecting or your field of choice, perhaps you should have restricted your chats to the bookstore or that coffee shop. Now that he wants to take it further, you need to bite the bullet and decide if you want this interesting fellow in your life at all. Because once he finds out you are only interested in his mind, he may want to beat a hasty retreat. I’m sure you are not consciously using this man in order to get a better handle on building up your collection. But you know yourself — perhaps you find that people grow on you, and that your mutual interest in old books might provide the spark that brings you closer together in the future. You can do a lot worse than hooking up with a guy who has something important in common with you to build upon. Or, you may be convinced that if the chemistry isn’t there from the beginning, it never will be — and you definitely didn’t feel any fireworks. So you probably should let him know that you’re unable to take the relationship beyond the bargain-book bin. Let him know how much you admire him, and perhaps a lasting friendship can result. (c) 2011 by King Features Syndicate Economy improving, but job growth is still weak WASHINGTON (AP) — Factories are producing more. Construction is growing. People are buying more cars. The holiday shopping season is off to a strong start. Normally, all that would suggest a bright outlook for the economy. Problem is, employers still aren’t hiring much, the number of people seeking unemployment benefits remains high and Europe’s debt crisis poses a grave threat to the future. Thursday’s mixed economic picture came a day before the government will report on unemployment and job growth for November. That report is expected to show a modest net gain of 125,000 jobs, scarcely enough to keep up with population growth. The unemployment rate is projected to remain 9 percent. Analysts say the economy remains locked in a g ood-but - h a r d l y - g o o denough position: It’s growing consistently, yet too weakly to induce employers to hire aggressively. “The economy is picking up momentum as we close out 2011,” said Neil Dutta, an economist at Bank of America Merrill Lynch. At the same time, it faces “an ongoing flu in Europe” and other challenges, such as uncertainty about future taxes and spending in the United States, Dutta said. For now, factories are expanding. The Institute for Supply Management, a trade group of purchasing managers, says its manufacturing index rose to 52.7 in November, up from 50.8 in October. Any reading above 50 indicates expansion. Factories have grown for 28 straight months. Manufacturers are slightly more hopeful about the next few months because of cheaper raw materials and healthy demand, said Bradley Holcomb, head of the ISM’s survey committee. Still, he said, companies have tempered their outlook because of concerns about whether the economy will grow consistently, uncertainty about federal taxes and regulation and fear that Europe’s debt crisis may trigger a global economic panic. Mark Vitner, an economist at Wells Fargo, suggested that employers are reluctant to hire freely because the U.S. economy’s future appears hazy. For one thing, a Social Security tax cut that provided an average $1,000 in extra cash this year for about 160 million Americans could expire at year’s end. Republican lawmakers did take steps Thursday to extend the cut, along with emergency unemployment benefits. But it’s still uncertain whether the money will be renewed. In addition, the Obama administration’s health care reform could slow hiring next year, Vitner said, because it will require companies to provide coverage by 2013 or pay a fine. And any worsening of Europe’s financial crisis could cause U.S. and European banks to cut back on lending and hoard cash. That would slow the economy. Concerns about a credit crunch led the Federal Reserve and five other central banks to take coordinated action this week to lower the cost of dollar loans in Europe and elsewhere. Vitner said he thinks employers want to see stronger customer demand and economic growth before they step up hiring — rather than hire in anticipation of it. That could turn into a vicious circle. Without more jobs and higher incomes, consumers won’t spend more. Yet without more spending, companies won’t increase their payrolls. Vitner expects growth to pick up to 3.1 percent in the current OctoberDecember quarter, but then fall back to about 2 percent in 2012. A recession in Europe could cut up to 0.4 percentage point off next year’s growth, he said. The manufacturing survey also showed that new orders and production rose to a sevenmonth high, but a measure of employment fell The Daily Sentinel • Page 3 Meigs County Community Calendar Sunday, Dec. 4 CHESTER — Concert by the Hunter Family Singers, 10 :30 a.m. at the Chester Nazarene Church.

There’s a song in the air By Dodger Vaughan with the spiders, and avoid caving or crowded spaces. Sadly, I think a lot of times when we are afraid to be faithful to something God has called us to do, we simply choose this option. Let’s be honest, this is a lot safer, it requires little to no faith, and won’t call for any discomfort on our part. This line of thinking didn’t work too well for Jonah, however, and I doubt it does much good for you and I either. I guess you could call this hypothetical Christianity because hypothetically we like what Jesus taught about caring for the poor, loving our enemies, and laying down our life UNLESS it means that He is actually calling us to do that. The second way to deal with fear is to face your fears — stand at the top of the platform and jump. Clearly this is the more difficult option, but sometimes the risk is worth it. In then end, despite my fear of heights, bungee jumping was amazing. In the case where God is calling us to do something the risk is always worth the return. It states in 2 Corinthians 4:17, “For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all.” Not to mention we have some pretty amazing promises from God for those who choose to trust Him. Isaiah 41:10 “So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.” God is calling … are you ready to leap? “There’s a Song in the Air” is an old hymn which Have you ever noticed invites us to be aware of that there seems to be a and to celebrate the joy of phobia for just about anythe Christmas season.

Jesus was born to die, had to die: the Christ of eternity was destined to be the Savior of humanity. It could not be otherwise. Indeed, angels and shepherds were present at the manger, as was the heavenly host singing praises to God. Even if Simeon and Anna were aware of and appreciated this, to them belongs the greater realization God had a special purpose for this Jesus: He was the instrument of God’s all-embracing salvation, available to Jews and Gentiles alike (Luke 2:25-38). The whole of the birth narrative of Jesus is set forth in this song, and our attention is drawn, consistently, to the presence in the manger itself of Jesus as our “Savior and King!” While we, the Church, will spend four Sundays in worship and anticipation of the coming of this King—one down; three to go!—we’re also looking beyond the past and into the future for His long-awaited Second Coming. All-in-all, this is a time of flux, of changes realized, and of changes foretold but not yet happening. Along with anticipation of the present comes more apprehension about the future. No one knows when or where the Lord’s re-entry will occur, and this uncertainty causes many great distress and contempt. Even so, God really never left us; had He done that, He would have violated His covenant to “never leave us nor forsake us”— and one thing God can never do is break one of His promises (Heb. 13:5). Of course, for me to say that and you believe it may be two entirely different things. So, if you can accept that the resurrected Christ had to ascend to heaven to free up the Holy Spirit to come down and live among us and in us, then you and I are on the same page. Which is all well and good, except that my purpose here isn’t to compel or cause you to bond with me, and/or believe what I’m saying, so much as it is to help you come to grips with solid, Biblical truth. Which brings up the following point: surely God would prefer we take Him at His word, and not just embrace the concept, but to actually be ready for the inevitable appearance Jesus spoke about. Our Savior and Lord still is in the business of saving souls, but time is not on the side of humanity—and there are tons of unsaved souls around us in need of God’s great grace. Meanwhile, let nothing stop us from being representatives of that grace. I’ve heard it said “nature abhors a vacuum,” and I wonder if we, the Church, don’t sometimes create a vacuum where God never intended one to exist. Are we faithfully doing our part for God’s Kingdom, and ready to give account? We will when we see Jesus, and that could be any day! What do you do when a good run ends? Ron Branch that God directed His good in such a way to our family over an extended period of time. You cannot beat it with a stick. Good runs that joyfully meet our expectations, oh, most certainly, come to an end at certain times. Sometimes the good run of a dependable vehicle comes to an end. Sometimes the good run of a useful tool comes to an end. Sometimes the good run of a job comes to an end. More pointedly, there are those times when the good run of life with a family member comes to an end. But, what kind of Christian mindset should we possess when the good runs of life in its various manifestations come to an end? The primary matter to consider has to do with faith in God. The regrettable response as it involves many in the Church is one that begins to ignore faith in God. Yet, our understanding and attitude should that, when good runs come to an end, God is still God. He still sits on the throne of mercy and grace. He still desires to have fellowship with us. Until He comes again, He still ensures the temporal tomorrow. King David provides a good example. When the certain child of his became grievously ill, he fasted and prayed that God would permit the child to live. He certainly did not want the run of that child’s life to come to an end. However, when the child died, he washed himself, ate food, and declared faith in God that one day he would see the child again. David never lost faith in God over it. Another matter to consider is to remember that God probably has more good runs in store. Consider Job. He once had a good long run of being the most respected man of his day. He had a good long run of being wealthy. He had a good long run with ten children. But, in one swoop of tragedy, his lengthy good run came to an end. He said, “’The Lord gave, and the Lord hath taken away; (but) blessed be the name of the Lord.’ In all this Job sinned not, nor charged God foolishly.” Why did he not charge God foolishly? I believe that he somehow understood that the Lord had more good in store for him, which is exactly what took place. What great expectation it is to understand that God has more good in store for us, though a good run may come to an end. Be open to another good run.

Ohio withstands rally to beat Marshall 70-68 HUNTINGTON, W.Va. (AP) Reggie Kelly scored 16 points and Ohio withstood a fierce Marshall rally down the stretch to win 7068 on Wednesday night. Ohio took its largest lead of the game at 63-49 with 7:35 remaining before Marshall began its comeback. A layup by Marshall’s Jamir Hanner cut the deficit to four, 67-63, with 2:08 to go, but D.J. Cooper made 3 of 4 free throw attempts over the next 1:36 to push the lead back to six points. A 3-pointer by DeAndre Kane, then two free throws by Damier Pitts pulled Marshall to within 70-68 with 15 seconds left. Marshall then forced a turnover, but Kane’s shot at the buzzer was off the mark. Walter Offutt added 13 points for Ohio (4-1), while Cooper had 11 points and 11 assists. Kane scored 17 points, and Dennis Tinnon had 12 points and 14 rebounds for Marshall (5-1). Friday, December 2, 2011 Lady Marauders fall in season opener By Sarah Hawley shawley@mydailytribune.com ROCKSPRINGS, Ohio — The Meigs Lady Marauders opened the 201112 season on Wednesday evening with a loss to nonleague opponent Warren. The visiting Lady Warriors (1-1) would not trail in the game, taking a 7-0 lead before Meigs senior Dani Cullums put the Lady Marauders on the board with a pair of free throws. Mercadies Georege added two more first quarter points for Meigs. Warren led by a 30-4 advantage after one quarter, and led 50-4 at the half. Tess Phelps scored the lone third quarter points for the Lady Marauders on a two point field goal at the 5:50 mark of the quarter. Meigs trailed 66-6 after three quarters of play. The Lady Marauders scored seven points in the fourth on a two pointer by Phelps and five points by George. Warren won by the final of 78-13.

OVP area lands 11 on All-Ohio football teams By Bryan Walters bwalters@mydailytribune.com COLUMBUS, Ohio — Both Gallia and Meigs counties combined for 11 selections on the 2011 Associated Press All-Ohio football teams, which was released this week for each of the six divisions in the Buckeye State. Gallia County came away with seven honorees, while Meigs County had four players represented on the All-Ohio teams — including the only player in either county to earn a higher honor than special mention. Senior running back Jeffrey Roush was named to the third-team in Division IV after earning his second all-district and all-state honor this season while leading Meigs in rushing for a second consecutive campaign. The 5-foot-10, 165-pound senior rushed for 824 yards and nine touchdowns this season in nine games, and Roush also had five catches for 188 yards and two scores. Jeffrey — who was a special mention All-Ohio selection last year — is also the younger brother of former MHS standout Justin Roush, a multi-year AllOhio recipient in his own day. Meigs seniors Jesse Smith and Charlie Barrett both earned their first AllOhio accolades in football after being recognized with special mention honors in Division IV. The Marauders were 6-4 overall in 2011. Eastern senior Tyler Cline was also a first-time All-Ohio honoree in football after making the Division VI squad for the 3-7 Eagles. Southern (2-8) was the only Meigs County team not represented on the All-Ohio squads. South Gallia, the lone playoff team from either county, had the most selections of any school in the area with four picks. The Rebels finished the season 7-4 overall and were represented on the D-6 special mention list by seniors Cory Haner, Dalton Matney and Danny Matney, as well as sophomore Jacob White. Gallia Academy, which finished 6-4 overall, had three special mention honorees in Division III with Aaron Guisinger, Brandon Taylor and Zack Tackett. River Valley (2-8) was the lone Gallia County program not represented on the AllOhio teams.

William Carey (Miss.) snapped a scoreless tie with a goal late in the first half and then got a pair of scores from Matheus Saroli just past the midway point of the second stanza en route to a 3-1 win over the RedStorm in the quarterfinal round of the 2011 NAIA National Championship Tournament at a chilly Orange Beach Sportsplex. The 12th-seeded Crusaders, who also erased tournament host and No. 4 seed Mobile (Ala.) on Monday in second round action, improved to 16-3-3 with the victory and advanced to Friday’s semifinal round for a showdown with top-seeded Hastings (Neb.). Rio Grande, the No. 5 seed in the tournament, finished its season at 19-3 with the loss and was denied a fifth trip to the Final Four since 2001. William Carey controlled the first half, outshooting the RedStorm 11-5, but the first shot to find the back of the net didn’t come until just 3:16 remained in the period when Ryan Weir scored without the aid of an assist. That’s how things stayed until Saroli drove the final nails in the Rio Grande coffin with two goals in a span of just 37 seconds. The first one came without the aid of an assist with 16:02 remaining in the contest, while the other came with 15:25 still to play off of a feed by Jose Presti. The RedStorm managed just three shots - only one of which was on goal - over the next 11-1/2 minutes, but did avoid being shutout for the first time this season when sophomore forward Orlando Zapata scored off of an assist by junior forward Richard Isberner (Sao Paulo, Brazil) with 3:37 left in the contest. William Carey finished with a 20-16 edge in shots for the game. The two teams were also whistled for 32 fouls — 18 against the Crusaders and 14 against Rio Grande - and each received two yellow cards. Junior goalkeeper Jack Marchant (Leeds, England) had five saves in the loss for the RedStorm, while William Carey netminder Carl Goody stopped six shots. Wednesday’s seasonending loss marked the final game in a Rio Grande uniform for four RedStorm seniors — defender Neil Harries, midfielders Joel Thiessen and Dylan Williams and goalkeeper Jordan Lower. �Friday, December 2, 2011 www.mydailysentinel.com OVP From Page 5 rain Clearview, 5-7, 175, sr.; Brice Fackler, Kenton, 6-4, 210, sr.

Steelers TE Saunders grateful for long road to NFL PITTSBURGH (AP) Weslye Saunders spent nearly a year hearing the whispers. Endure the kind of self-inflicted hardship Saunders put himself through in 2010 and they’re hard to ignore. The Pittsburgh Steelers’ rookie tight end doesn’t blame those who labeled him a “cancer” and a “head case” Saunders’ words following his inglorious exit at South Carolina. His senior season ended before it even began when coach Steve Spurrier suspended Saunders for a violation of team rules. He was kicked off the team entirely a few weeks later then admitted to lying to NCAA investigators about staying at an off-campus hotel at a discounted rate. They weren’t the kind of headlines that impress NFL scouts, who are just as concerned about character as the 6-foot-5, 270-pound Saunders’ combination of size, speed and soft hands. Missing the game he loved humbled Saunders. It also made him grow up. Quickly. “I had to prove I wasn’t what they said I was back in Carolina,” Saunders said. The process proved painful. Saunders broke his left foot preparing for the NFL draft yet couldn’t say no when the Steelers tight end coach James Daniel flew down to take a look. He went through all the drills the 40-yard dash, shuttle run and route tree included thanks to a mixture of grit and healthy doses of Tylenol. He had surgery the next day then watched 224 players hear their name called Devlin McDaniel, Marion Pleasant; Logan McGovern, Centerburg; Dalton Greenwalt, W.

If he’d stayed out of trouble, the Steelers wouldn’t have signed him as an undrafted free agent shortly after the lockout ended. If he’d stayed healthy he might not have scored his first NFL touchdown last week in Pittsburgh’s 13-9 win over Kansas City. If he’d played last year at South Carolina he might not have gained the perspective necessary to cut it with a veteran-laden team. “Maybe if I’d have gone first round like everyone projected and I had anticipated I wouldn’t be as grateful,” he said. “I would have taken it for granted. Just the fact I had to work so hard to get to where I am now, I’m just enjoying it.” So much so Saunders forgot all about the well-choreographed touchdown celebration he’d outlined with teammate Antonio Brown when he finally reached the end zone for the first time, perhaps because he was still stunned when quarterback Ben Roethlisberger stepped away from pressure before finding Saunders along the end line for a 2-yard score. During the countless times the Steelers have run that play in practice, the ball never came Saunders’ way. Not once. Yet he kept running as Roethlisberger broke containment, then went up and snatched the high pass out of the air while deftly getting both feet down before tumbling to the earth. “To his credit, he stayed alive,” Roethlisberger said. “He’s in the back of the end zone and he’s a big-play guy.

With lockout nearing end, basketball back in focus NEW YORK (AP) These are the kinds of negotiations NBA fans have been waiting for. Teams began talking to agents Wednesday as the lockout inched closer to its end, and basketball moved back into focus. Dwight Howard and Chris Paul were linked to trade speculation, while free agents such as Tyson Chandler and Nene were in the news after months of attorneys getting all the ink. Now, the players are taking over and the league was set to reopen its facilities for workouts Thursday. Some may arrive out of shape, just as was the case in January 1999 after the NBA’s only other shortened season. But they’re anxious to get back, with a little more than three weeks until they start playing games. “The guys are going to come in and I’m sure they’re going to be in good shape. They want to play,” new Houston coach Kevin McHale told reporters. “These guys have played basketball their entire lives. They love to play basketball and they’re excited to get after it.” The league still hopes to open training camps and free agency next Friday, leaving both sides scrambling to get business finished in time. The lawsuits have been settled, contingent upon the ratification of a new collective bargaining agreement by Dec. 9. Players are in the process of collecting the signatures needed to approve the reformation of the union, which must be done before the sides can resume bargaining on the remaining issues that must be settled before each side can vote. NBA officials are working to complete a two-game exhibition schedule for each team that will lead to a 66game regular season, starting with a five-game slate on Christmas. “Considering that a lot of this is brand new to us, the last 24 hours has been a little bit of a scramble,” Oklahoma City general manager Sam Presti said. “We have a lot of things that we have to do from getting players in and just basically preparing ourselves for what’s ahead.” Philadelphia 76ers president Rod Thorn was working in the league office during the last lockout and knows how much work it will take to stay on the schedule Commissioner David Stern revealed after reaching a tentative agreement with the players early last Saturday. “I definitely remember that time and how hectic it was on the NBA side,” Thorn said. “If you think it was hectic over here, it was really hectic on that side.” Trying to make the process smoother, the NBA agreed to allow players to re-enter the buildings Thursday. Coaches aren’t allowed, but players, who will have to sign a waiver removing teams of liability in case of injury, can meet with the teams’ training personnel and conduct unsupervised workouts. The decision was made in consultation with the union Tuesday, and league spokesman Tim Frank denied it had anything to do with the settlement of the litigation. “We agreed that it was in everyone’s interest that players have the opportunity to get back to work,” he said. The lockout began July 1, which would have been the opening of free agency. It finally arrived in a minimized form Wednesday morning, when teams were allowed to talk to agents. Contracts can’t yet be offered or signed not that anyone is ready to rush into it as they digest the new signing and spending rules that will become official in the new deal. Chandler, the starting center for NBA champion Dallas, and Denver’s Nene headed a solid core of free agent big men. Jamal Crawford, the former top sixth man from Atlanta, was available for teams seeking backcourt scoring punch, and teams seeking a reliable veteran swingman could sort through Grant Hill, Shane Battier, Caron Butler and Tayshaun Prince. But the class isn’t spectacular, which is why the focus was already on next summer, when Howard, Paul and Deron Williams can become free agents. There were reports that Paul planned to leave New Orleans, and that the teams were angling to trade for him. Nets general manager Billy King denied an ESPN. com report that he was preparing to offer Brook Lopez and two first-round picks to Orlando in hopes of getting Howard to play with Williams. “I’ll go on the record that I haven’t talked to Orlando about a trade since February, right before the trade deadline,” King said. “I have not had any conversations at all with my good friend Otis (Smith, the Magic general manager). “So, I don’t know where that is coming from.” The league could an- �Friday, December 2, 2011 www.mydailysentinel.com The Daily Sentinel • Page 7 NOTICE TO TAXPAYERS Reference: 5715.17 Ohio Revised Code Missing Little Maltese dog, last seen on Monday 21st on Bear Run Rd, REWARD, Child's Pet 740-645-8067 REWARD!

(AP) Roy Williams kept screaming for his North Carolina team to play tougher and smarter, even ripping off his jacket at one point to drive home his message. His fifth-ranked Tar Heels responded, even as they were locked in a possession-to-possession game with a top 10 opponent less than a week after their first loss that knocked them from No. 1. Harrison Barnes scored 10 of his 20 points during the decisive secondhalf surge to help North Carolina rally past No. 9 Wisconsin 60-57 on Wednesday night, a victory that came only after the Tar Heels strung together enough defensive stops and got enough rebounds to aid their struggling offense. Tyler Zeller added 12 points for the Tar Heels (6-1), who had to show the fight and toughness they didn’t show in last weekend’s upset loss to UNLV to outlast the Badgers (6-1) in the ACC/Big Ten Challenge. With its fast-paced attack unable to get out in transition, North Carolina trailed by five points midway through the second half before going on an 18-5 run that finally put the Tar Heels ahead for good. It was tense enough all night that Williams said he told Wisconsin coach Bo Ryan afterward, “I’m glad I don’t play you anymore.” “That’s the type of games you’re going to end up having to deal with,” said UNC junior John Henson, who had 17 rebounds and five blocks. “I’m glad we had one early on in the season. There’s going to be more and hopefully we’re go- ing to be ready.” For the Badgers, almost everything went to plan except for the outcome. They made the Tar Heels work for their shots. They repeatedly made them defend into the final seconds of the shot clock. But North Carolina which despite the NBA potential on its front line had been outrebounded three times this season responded by controlling the boards behind Henson, finishing with a 42-29 advantage against a team that had outrebounded opponents by an average of 14 per game. The Badgers came in holding teams to 39 points and 31 percent shooting, and they held the Tar Heels to 42 percent in this one. That included a 6-minute scoreless stretch in the first half, but the Badgers didn’t fare any better (36 percent) and couldn’t knock down the 3-point shots that would have brought even more stress to the blue-clad crowd. Wisconsin, which was shooting 47 percent from 3-point range, missed 20 of 28 shots from behind the arc. In a sign of how well Wisconsin played other than making shots, of course the Badgers finished with just four turnovers despite the Tar Heels chasing them in man defense all night. “We’ve got a confident group, no matter what,” said Jordan Taylor, who had 18 points to lead Wisconsin. “That was a game we wanted to win. I don’t believe in moral victories. It’s frustrating. They’re a good team. Hats off to them. They made plays and we didn’t down the stretch.” Barnes was critical in the run, knocking down two 3-pointers and a jumper despite being hobbled by a sprained right ankle from the loss to the Runnin’ Rebels. He played 30 minutes in that game, but missed Monday’s practice and Williams didn’t sound sure Barnes would be ready for the Badgers. But Barnes made it through a full practice Tuesday evening and was back in the starting lineup to provide just enough of a spark to the Tar Heels’ bogged-down offense. “You just have to make quick decisions,” Barnes said. “The defensive team that Wisconsin is, they load up very quickly off the catch. So you knew you had to make a quick decision when you got the ball or make the quick pass.” North Carolina also shook off its struggles at the foul line by hitting 16 of 18 free throws in the second half. Yet even after the Tar Heels pushed ahead by 10 with about a minute left, Wisconsin didn’t go away and ended the game with Ben Brust making a heave from near halftcourt at the buzzer. “We were right there,” Taylor said. “I’d love to see those guys again, maybe in the tournament or something like that. We welcome the challenge.” Things won’t get easier for UNC. Next up is Saturday’s trip to Kentucky, which replaced North Carolina at No. 1. The Tar Heels played much of the second half without freshman guard P.J. Hairston, who headed to the locker room with about 12 minutes left after hurting his left wrist during a fall.

Fine, who was denied the allegations, was fired Sunday. Federal authorities are not constrained by a statute of limitations should they turn up evidence Fine molested his latest accuser, 23-year-old Zach Tomaselli of Lewiston, Maine. He said he told police that Fine molested him in 2002 in a Pittsburgh hotel room after a game. He said Fine touched him “multiple” times in that one incident. Under federal law in 2002, prosecutions for the sexual or physical abuse or kidnapping of a child under 18 could continue until the victim turned 25. Subsequent amendments changed that to the life of the child or 10 years after the offense, whichever is longer. As the investigation continues, advocates for sex abuse victims have said Hall of Fame coach Jim Boeheim should resign or be fired for adamantly defending Fine and verbally disparaging the accusers. Contacted by The Associated Press by phone Wednesday, Boeheim repeated several times, “I can’t talk about anything.” He’s preparing his fourthranked Orange for Friday’s home game against No. 10 Florida and is scheduled to do his regular radio show Thursday night. University trustees have been instructed to refer all questions back to the university but some contacted by The Associated Press offered support for Boeheim and said there was no indication his job was in danger. “I have not heard anything but complete support for Coach Boeheim,” trustee Michael Wohl said. “Coach Boeheim hasn’t done anything wrong. At this point, we’re completely behind the coach.” University spokesman Kevin Quinn said it’s policy to refer all comment to the university during an ongoing investigation, and most of the 70 active trustees contacted by the AP did that. The university fired Fine on Sunday after Tomaselli went public and ESPN broadcast a 2002 audiotape, obtained and recorded by accuser Bobby Davis, of a conversation between Davis and a woman ESPN identified as Fine’s wife, Laurie, in which she says she knew “everything that went on.” Davis first contacted Syracuse police in 2002 regarding Fine, but there was no investigation because Direct Care- Part Time direct care state position for Point Pleasthe statute of limitaant, WV tions hadproviding passed. community In 2005, skill training with an individual Davis went to the universiwith MR/DD.

A ball boy for six years, Davis said the abuse occurred at Fine’s home, at Syracuse basketball facilities and on team road trips, including the 1987 Final Four. Davis’ stepbrother, Mike Lang, 45, who also was a ball boy, told ESPN that Fine began molesting him while he was in the fifth or sixth grade.

You will put in a significant effort to reach this place. You often are irritated with bosses and authority figures. If you are single, you easily could tumble into a love-hate relationship. Take your time. If you are attached, your vision of your life might be much different from your sweetie’s. Don’t judge. Try different styles. PISCES can be challenging. The Stars Show the Kind of Day You’ll Have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult ARIES (March 21-April 19) HHHH Understand that you might be feeling the undercurrents of other people’s unacknowledged feelings. Others could be acting out. Curb your temper, and establish strong and sturdy limits. You will gain if you can be nonreactive. Can you? Tonight: Maintain an unusually low profile. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHHHH Decide what is too much effort and what is reasonable. The problem lies in getting a group consensus. Don’t be surprised to see a couple of people flip their lid on the topic at hand. They feel passionately about the matter. Tonight: Only with pals. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHHH Stay on top of work and demands. Pressure builds between you and others. You might wonder what is enough and when to let others know. Unless you like fireworks, the smart Twin won’t wait until the last minute before his or her fuse blows. Tonight: A must appearance. CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHH With as much anger being sprinkled left and right, you could be sarcastic or say something you might regret later. Clear the air as fast as possible. You don’t need a scene. Tonight: A very important talk over dinner. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHHHH Deal with people with whom you feel comfortable and from whom you can handle feedback. Anger seems to be the underlying tenet no matter who does what and no matter what others say. Ask yourself if someone is trying to cover something up. Let the cards fall naturally. No heroics. Tonight: Share over dinner. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHHH Others seem to be on the warpath, but perhaps you are really the one sticking the pins in. Let someone know how you feel in a calm, quiet way. Creating uproar won’t result in a positive situation. Take a walk to clear your mind. Tonight: Listen to another version of the same story. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHHH Walk right in. Once you’re energized, you’ll get a lot done. In a sense, by focusing on what you are doing, you are detaching from another situation. You need some distance here. Use your anger to motivate you, but not to cause a problem. Tonight: Squeeze in some exercise. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHHHH You leap over hurdles. Your smile lures in whatever you want. A meeting could get a bit rough, as you share hostile words with another person. You know what you want — what is stopping you? If you are single or attached, romantic thoughts could occupy a good part of your day. Tonight: Frisky you. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHHH Understand that although you are feeling better than you have in a while, at times you could be caught between a rock and a hard place. Today exemplifies that issue. What determines the quality of the day is how you deal with this pressure. Tonight: Know that others are under the gun, too. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHHHH Of all signs, you can mobilize anger and use it to enhance a situation. Do just that, and let others see different ways of expressing rage. Communication flourishes, and what was difficult no longer is. Follow your instincts. Tonight: Meet a friend at a preferred place. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHHHH You need to move forward and not get hung up on someone’s disagreeable accusations or feelings. Indicate a willingness to discuss a problem, but not in the manner this person wants. Give this person space. He or she just might be discharging anger on you that belongs to another person. Tonight: Your treat. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHHH You are feeling better than you have in a long time and may make a choice to proceed in a different direction. Others are disagreeable. You might want to settle someone’s issue, if possible; otherwise, give this person a wide berth. Tonight: Your night to howl!

(AP) Federal authorities have obtained a third sealed search warrant in their investigation of former Syracuse University basketball assistant coach Bernie Fine, who has been accused by three men of molesting them as minors. Court documents show the third warrant was issued Tuesday and signed by U.S. Magistrate Andrew Baxter. No details were available. Prosecutors did not immediately return calls. Fine’s office on campus was searched Tuesday morning, and his suburban home was searched last Friday. The U.S. Attorney’s office in northern New York, which is leading the investigation, has not said what it sought or found. Fine, who was denied the allegations, was fired Sunday. Federal authorities are not constrained by a statute of limitations should they turn up evidence Fine molested his latest accuser, 23-year-old Zach Tomaselli of Lewiston, Maine.

Brad Keselowski and his crew chief to contract extensions after the duo raced to a fifth-place finish in NASCAR’s top series. Terms of the deals announced Thursday have not been released. Penske says the extensions are for multiple years. Keselowski just completed his second season with Penske in the Sprint Cup Series. He worked with Wolfe in 2010 to win six races and the Nationwide Series championship, and Wolfe was moved up to the Cup team this season. Keselowski drove the No. 22 Dodge to three wins this year, a spot in the Chase for the Sprint Cup championship and a career-best finish in the standings. Keselowski has become one of NASCAR’s most vocal drivers and was fined $25,000 two weeks ago. Northern Illinois takes on Sports Briefs Ohio in MAC title game DETROIT (AP) Chandler Harnish and Northern Illinois arrived at last year’s Mid-American Conference title game with an undefeated league record and a spiffy national ranking. Then the Huskies were stunned when Miami of Ohio scored a last-minute touchdown to beat them. Harnish and his teammates worked all season for another chance. “I feel like this is where my legacy is going to be left,” the talented quarterback said. “As a senior class, this is what it’s all riding on.” Northern Illinois will play for the title again Friday night at Ford Field, this time against the Ohio Bobcats. Each team is safely eligible for a bowl, but there are plenty of bragging rights on the line not to mention the first MAC championship in a long time for whoever wins. Northern Illinois last won the league in 1983, well before the conference instituted divisional play and the championship game. Ohio’s last title is even farther back, in 1968. The Huskies were ranked 24th in the country when Miami stunned them 26-21, winning the championship on a touchdown with 33 seconds left. The Huskies (9-3, 7-1) almost didn’t make it back for this year’s title game. They lost their MAC opener 48-41 to Central Michigan but rebounded with seven straight victories in mustwin games. The most memorable of those wins came Nov. 1 against a Toledo team that would end up tied atop the West Division with Northern Illinois. The teams combined for 1,121 yards, with the Huskies winning 63-60 when Harnish threw his sixth touchdown pass of the game with 19 seconds left. Tommylee Lewis returned two kickoffs for touchdowns in the first five minutes of the first quarter for Northern Illinois. “It looks like basketball scores sometimes,” Ohio linebacker Noah Keller said. “They’ve got a lot of playmakers.” Northern Illinois scored at least 40 points in six of its conference games, and Ohio coach Frank Solich is leery of another high-scoring affair. “They have a way of winning those,” he said. “Field position doesn’t seem to make a difference to them.” Harnish has thrown for 23 touchdowns and four interceptions this season, and he’s also run for 1,351 yards. Ohio (9-3, 6-2) has an impressive quarterback of its own in Tyler Tettleton, who has thrown for 26 touchdowns and seven interceptions, and he’s ready for the challenge of keeping up with the Huskies. “Whenever we do get in the red zone, we’ve got to put the points on the board,” he said. Ohio reached the championship game two years ago, losing 20-10 to Central Michigan. The Bobcats beat Northern Illinois 38-31 that season, the last time these two teams faced each other. Like the Huskies, Ohio got off to a difficult start in league play, losing two of its first three MAC games this year before winning five straight. Six of its eight conference games were decided by a touchdown or less. Solich is in his seventh season as coach of the Bobcats, who are 49-39 under his guidance. Dave Doeren is in his first season as coach of the Huskies. He took over when Jerry Kill left shortly after the 2010 MAC championship game to take the Minnesota job. Doeren wasn’t a part of last season’s tough finish in the title game, but he’s heard plenty about it. His job has been to keep the team focused on this season. “The players have talked a lot about Detroit,” he said. “I haven’t talked about it at all.” INDIANAPOLIS (AP) One of the biggest names in IndyCar racing is leaving the series next season. Newman-Haas Racing, the team started by late actor Paul Newman, has decided it will not compete in 2012. It’s the first time since 1982 NewmanHaas will not field an open-car team. Carl Haas, the team’s cofounder, made the announce- ment in a one-sentence statement indicating the team had trouble finding sponsorship. “The economic climate no longer enables Newman-Haas Racing to participate in openwheel racing at this time,” he said. The move came as a surprise following a solid season in which Spanish driver Oriol Servia finished fourth in the points. Only Target Chip Ganassi teammates Dario Franchitti and Scott Dixon and Team Penske driver Will Power were ahead of Servia. Newman-Haas’ other driver, Canadian James Hinchcliffe, was last season’s rookie of the year. Both were expected to return to the team in 2012, and Newman-Haas was scheduled to receive the first of its new 2012 IndyCar models Dec. 15. Newman-Haas race team leaving CHARLESTON, W.Va. (AP) — The West Virginia Coal Association is paying the Charleston Civic Center $232,000 for branding rights to the arena’s new basketball court. A longtime mining industry critic complained last week that the halfcourt “Friends of Coal” logo with three miners in silhouette is inappropriate because it turns athletic events into political events. But civic center general manager John Robertson tells the Charleston newspaper that the 10year sponsorship agreement follows a trend in sports. He notes the minor league baseball stadium in Charleston is now dubbed Appalachian Power Park. Robertson says the $82,000 hardwood floor itself was paid for entirely with taxpayer money.

The former first-round draft pick had surgery last July and started the season on an injury list. The Bengals got a threeweek roster exemption that allowed him to work out with the team. The exemption ended on Tuesday, and Cincinnati decided to leave him on the injury list, ruling out a return this season. Rivers was the ninth overall pick in 2008. He broke his jaw on a hit by Steelers receiver Hines Ward during the seventh game of his rookie season and didn’t return. He missed three games in 2009 with a calf injury. He played in 15 games last season despite a foot injury. ^ Argentine Davis team called early for drug tests SEVILLE, Spain (AP) — Argentina’s Davis Cup team was awakened for doping tests at 6:30 a.m. Thursday, a day before it begins the Davis Cup final against Spain. “It’s a shame since it was a rest day and we didn’t get to rest,” Argentina captain Tito Vazquez Vazquez said at the draw. “It didn’t seem very appropriate. They could have done it the day before at another moment, but unfortunately that’s not up to us to decide.” Argentine players David Nalbandian, Juan Monaco and Juan Martin del Potro were tested, Vazquez said. He didn’t mention doubles player Eduardo Schwank. “We all want a clean sport,” said Rafael Nadal, who leads the Spanish team. “But the system and the way it is used leaves much to be desired.” Nadal will play Monaco in Friday’s opening singles of the best-of-five series at Oympic Stadium. Argentina is trying to win its first title in four finals. Four-time champion Spain is going for a third victory in four years.
