LITTLE HOCKING — Republican Charles Richter of Little Hocking has filed candidacy petitions with the Athens County Board of Elections to run for state representative in the new 94th Ohio House District, with hopes of being his party’s nominee to run against incumbent Debbie Phillips, D-Athens. Phillips’ term ends in December 2012, and she has indicated she will be seeking a third term. The new district lines, which go into effect at the end of Phillps’ term, will mean that the district will include all of Meigs County and portions of Athens, Vinton and Washington counties. Richter, 47, made the official announcement of his candidacy Friday. “I am a proud, lifelong Ohioan and would be truly honored to serve as our community’s voice in Columbus,” said Richter. “At a time when many elected officials are becoming in- creasingly distanced from the people who elected them, I pledge to be a faithful, dedicated voice of our friends and neighbors. I have always loved southeast Ohio, and to have the opportunity to give back to the region that has given me so much through the years would be an honor and a privilege.” Richter said that if given the chance to serve as a state representative in Columbus, his main focus Submissions needed By Beth Sergent bsergent@heartlandpublications.com See 94th, Page 2 Charles Richter Middleport ushers in the holiday season Santa arrives in a horse-drawn carriage Helping a senior POMEROY — With so many of Meigs County’s senior citizens having such a limited income, the Meigs County Council on Aging is appealing for donations to assist them with a utility bill, clothing or some other basic need. Beth Shaver, director, advises that in the past there has been great success in getting monetary donations specifically to fill the basic needs of Meigs seniors. She said many are going without enough heat in the winter or decent warm clothing or coats. Whatever donations are made go directly toward service to those in need.

Prior to the parade a community chorus consisting of choir members from local churches sang a medley of carols, the large Christmas tree located in the center of the “T” on Mill Street was lighted, and families enjoyed the free carriage rides. See USHER, Page 6 Southern Wellness Center observes National Influenza Vaccination Week Staff Report common this season. The 20112012 flu vaccine will protect against influenza A virus, influenza B virus, and H1N1 virus that emerged in 2009 causing a pandemic. While the flu can make anyone sick, certain people are at greater risk for serious complications from the flu, causing hospitalization or even death. These individuals include: • Adults 50 years of age and older • Children younger than age 5, but especially younger than 2 years of age • Individuals with chronic lung disease (asthma and COPD) • Individuals with diabetes (type 1 and type 2) • Heart disease, neurological conditions, or other long term medical conditions • Individuals who are morbidly obese (BMI of 40 or greater) • Pregnant women and women within the first two weeks after delivery Each year in the United States on average an estimated 5-20 percent New book to document Silver Bridge tragedy of the population can be infected with the flu, and more than 200,000 people may be hospitalized during flu season. Influenza seasons are unpredictable, and can begin as early as October. It takes about two weeks after vaccination for antibodies to develop in the body and provide protection against influenza virus infection. Children under the age of 18, who are uninsured, underinsured, or Medicaid eligible qualify for the Vaccines for Children Program (VFC). The VFC program allows children who meet one of three above criteria to receive vaccines for FREE. Even if you don’t have a regular doctor, you can get the flu vaccine. If you need a flu vaccine contact the Southern Local Schools Wellness Center at 740-949-2348. The cost of a flu vaccine is $20, we also accepted all major insurances, and Medicare patients never pay a deductible.

The Silver Bridge tragedy recently reached across the miles to a student and professor at the University of Hartford in Hartford, Ct., both of whom were so moved and fascinated with the event they are compiling a book of photos and information on the tragedy with the help from locals Ruth and Martha Fout. Ruth and Martha, who are sisters and natives of Mason County, work at the Point Pleasant River Museum which contains one of the most comprehensive collections of Silver Bridge memorabilia anywhere. Ruth said Professor Stephan Bullard, who is helping develop the project along with student Bridget Gromek, feels the book won’t be successful without that local perspective which is why she and her sister have become involved and why public participation is crucial to the project which hopes to portray an accurate picture of what happened, and who it affected. Ruth and Martha are appealing to local residents for photos, artifacts or information about the tragedy which could be used for the book and Silver Bridge collection at the River Museum. Ruth said in terms of photos, she is looking for anything related to the tragedy such as construction of the bridge, scenes from the tragedy and recovery efforts and photos of those who perished taken shortly before they lost their lives - she is also requesting their stories. Photos of those who survived the tragedy are also requested, as are their stories - photos can be taken of the survivors if they visit the river museum. Ruth said if a person doesn’t want to part with their photo but wants to share it, the river museum staff can scan it and hand it back to the owner in a matter of minutes. Also of interest are artifacts associated with the bridge and tragedy. Ruth said recently a blanket was donated to the collection from the daughter of a man who was called to the scene shortly after the tragedy, though not an ordinary blanket. The man was piloting a US Army Corps of Engineer’s boat when he arrived on scene and found blankets floating in the Ohio River near the bridge and saved them. He also found Christmas packages floating in the water though those had become misplaced over the years. These are the types of items, along with photos, scrapbooks and stories (both heard and unheard) which will be invaluable to the book and the museum. Fout says the river museum sees visitors from across the country stop in just to review the Silver See Silver, Page 3 �Tuesday, December 6, 2011 www.mydailysentinel.com Obituaries Wood of Coolville.

The Daily Sentinel • Page 2 Ohio briefs ACLU asks county in Ohio to reconsider jail fees COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — The American Civil Liberties Union of Ohio is asking the county jail in Columbus to reconsider a plan to charge inmates a fee for their stays. Beginning next year, inmates sentenced to the Franklin County jail will pay a onetime, $40 charge. ACLU Legal Director James Hardiman said Monday that such fees create “new levels of bureaucracy’ and rarely deliver savings. He suggests the county instead develop programs to keep people out of jail such as job counseling and mental health treatment. County Sheriff Zach Scott has been in a budget battle with county officials, who have directed him to find new revenue sources. Among other jails charging fees are southwest Ohio’s Hamilton and Butler counties. US Rep. Stivers to seek re-election in Ohio COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — U.S. Rep. Steve Stivers says he has filed petitions and will run for re-election next year in his central Ohio district. Stivers’ campaign said Monday he plans to continue to work to grow the economy, pass a balanced budget amendment, support a line item veto, cut spending and pay down national debt. The Republican from Columbus was a state senator from 2003 through 2008. His campaign says his previous work involved helping companies create and retain jobs. Stivers is a lieutenant colonel in the Ohio Army National Guard and served about a year in the Middle East. He won his 15th District seat in 2010 to unseat Mary Jo Kilroy. The two had faced off in 2008, when Kilroy’s tight victory wasn’t decided until a month after the election. Case of jailed tourists after Katrina reviewed NEW ORLEANS (AP) — Two Ohio tourists imprisoned for a month on public drunkenness charges in New Orleans’ notorious Orleans Parish Prison in the chaotic aftermath of Hurricane Katrina may get $650,000 in damages if a federal appellate court rules in their favor. Lawyers for Robie Waganfeald and Paul Kunkel Jr., both of Toledo, Ohio, argued in the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals on Monday that the two friends were falsely imprisoned by Orleans Parish Sheriff Marlin Gusman. The men had asked the jury to award them more than $1.3 million in damages, claiming they were held illegally in inhumane conditions after the jail flooded. A three-judge panel of the appellate court heard arguments in the case and took the matter under advisement. The judges did not indicate when they might rule. Board: 6-month license suspension for ex-Ohio AG COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Former Ohio Attorney General Marc Dann faces the possibility of losing his law license for six months for alleged violations of legal codes of conduct. The punishment recommended by an Ohio legal board on Monday was harsher than one requested by a prosecuting legal body last month that would have allowed Dann to keep practicing law. The Board of Commissioners on Grievances and Discipline called Dann’s judgment into question and said his position as attorney general set him apart from other lawyers. The Ohio Supreme Court, which has the final say, could accept, reject or toughen the punishment. Dann resigned in 2008 amid a sexual harassment scandal, then pleaded guilty in 2010 to improperly paying two aides from political and office accounts and failing to disclose campaign expenses. Ex-Scripps exec new CEO of Pa.-based Calkins Media LEVITTOWN, Pa. (AP) — Newspaper publisher Calkins Media on Monday named Mark Contreras as its new chief executive officer. The company said Contreras, a former chairman of The Newspaper Association of America and The American Press Institute, will start on Wednesday. Contreras most recently was a senior vice president for newspapers at the E.W. Scripps Co. in Cincinnati and worked in a similar post with Pulitzer Inc. in St. Louis. Before that, he was president and publisher at The Times Leader in Wilkes-Barre. Calkins Media Inc., based in Levittown, is a private company owned by the descendants of its founder, Stanley W. Calkins. It operates six papers in Pennsylvania, one newspaper each in Florida and New Jersey and the website phillyburbs.com. It also owns ABC-affiliate TV stations in Sarasota and Tallahassee, Fla. It said Contreras has “a wealth of experience in digital and traditional media.” Contreras said he was drawn to Calkins by its owners’ commitment to local journalism. “The most attractive thing from a business perspective was the commitment of the ownership to continuing to produce very high quality journalism as a private company,” Contreras told the Bucks County Courier Times. “That was an important factor. They’re extremely committed to the healthy future of their newspapers and television stations.” Search for missing Ga. girl turns up body in trash CANTON, Ga. (AP) — A body found in a trash container is believed to be that of a 7-year-old girl who went missing last week from an apartment complex playground north of Atlanta, authorities said Monday. Georgia Bureau of Investigation spokesman John Bankhead said that “everything points to it being” Jorelys Rivera of Canton. Bankhead said officials were awaiting results of an autopsy to confirm the identity and a cause of death. Bankhead told The Associated Press the body appeared to have been severely beaten and sexually assaulted. He said the girl’s mother had been notified. No suspects were in custody as of Monday night, authorities said. The girl’s mother returned to the apartment complex early Monday evening. Crying, the woman entered the family’s apartment without speaking to reporters and a family friend asked for privacy. The child was last seen around 5 p.m. Friday at the River Ridge apartments in Canton, about 40 miles north of Atlanta, Canton police Detective Candy Worthy said. The girl was at the playground with a teenage baby sitter. The girl had gone back to her apartment to get sodas for friends when she disappeared, authorities said. Authorities brought in a specialized team of law officers trained to handle child abductions. The body was located about 1 p.m. Monday. Canton emergency management director Jeff Hall said authorities had not searched the trash container until Monday because it was a large garbage compacting bin that needed to be moved offsite so they could go through it.

When he was 11 years old, his family bought a bike shop in Westerville, and working alongside his parents and older sisters, he helped to build a small business that served the community for 19 years and continues to operate today. During those 19 years, Richter graduated from Johnstown High School and put himself through college. He graduated from the Ohio State University with a B.A. in economics in 1990. Since then, he has worked as a financial administrator of fund transactions in the banking industry and was also the accounting manager for one of the Westin Hotels’ airport hotels. He was also employed by Kenda U.S.A., where he used his skills in all aspects of the company, including as an accounting manager, North American sales manager, and purchasing manager. Richter describes himself as a family man who lives in Little Hocking with his wife, Denise, their two-month-old daughter, Sandra Shae, and Denise’s sons, Gordon and Gavin. He says his goal, if elected, will be to help improve Ohio’s outlook and ultimately bring about a brighter future for the next generation of Ohioans.

Local visitors also are drawn to it and for some visitors who lost loved ones in the tragedy, Fout guessed the collection helped bring some closure. “It’s almost like visiting a grave,” she said about the visceral connection people seem to have to the collection and the tragedy, even now. Fout needs materials by Christmas. Bullard and Gromek will be in town the first week of January to review what is collected. The book already has a publisher, Arcadia Books, which is going to press with it in April. The river museum will not only benefit from the book sales but the Silver Bridge collection will benefit from new additions, keeping the story alive and relevant for future generations.

She finds civil servants hard to deal with Dear Dr. Brothers: I recently moved, and have had to deal quite a bit with the various clerks in my new city hall regarding permits, licenses, bills and so forth. I am pretty frustrated and disappointed by the way they all act toward me. I don’t think I am overly sensitive or anything like that, but they just seem to be so caught up in their power and making me feel helpless and ignorant. They are all just staffers, and you can’t talk to anyone in charge. What makes people act this way? — P.G. Dear P.G.: I understand how frustrated and perhaps even hurt and vulnerable you are feeling right now. It’s almost like being the new kid in school again when you move to a new place. You’re feeling your way in the dark, and a kind word and helpful gesture go a long way toward making you feel welcome and safe. When people whose job it is to incorporate some of those little niceties into their interactions with you do no such thing, it’s like a slap in the face. You don’t deserve it, and it seems so unnecessary. And having to keep your cool when you are under stress makes it even harder to go home feeling anything but angry and deflated. Perhaps the results of a new study in the Journal of Experimental Social Psychology will help shed some light on this common phenomenon of lower-level civil servants taking out all their frustrations on innocent customers. Researchers from three universities have found that people with power but low-level jobs often are likely to react to their lack of status by abusing the power they hold. The solution? People of all statuses need to feel respected and valued. You can’t change the culture they work in, but if you can grit your teeth and be nicer Dr. Joyce Brothers than they are, it just might help. Or ask for the higher power/higher-status supervisor. *** Dear Dr. Brothers: I am a computer programmer by trade, and due to a series of cutbacks, I found myself out of a job until a few weeks ago, when I took a temporary position as a shoe salesman at the local mall. I don’t mind the retail atmosphere, and I get along well with the other employees, but I find I can’t stand the customers! They are rude, demanding, indecisive and leave shoes all over the floor. They argue with me about sizes, and I almost lose my temper. How can I make it better? — D.D. Dear D.D.: I’m glad you are not just going to give up and quit, because a little self-analysis might help you adjust to this job until you can get your old one back. Think about the fit — you are used to working with software and machines, and you may have had limited contact with superiors or other employees; you certainly didn’t find that people-pleasing was the main thing you were called upon to do in order to be successful. There are those who are very well suited to facing the vagaries of human interaction, and you probably are not one of them. That doesn’t mean that you can’t succeed at the mall. It may just take a little more mental toughness and a broader perspective on your part. You know the customer is always right, but it’s often pretty hard to convince yourself, much less put into practice, especially if the customer is rude, picky or downright nasty. Maybe you need to play some mental games that are focused on your success. Try to anticipate which size and style will be likely to please the indecisive ones, and be there with suggestions for those who are barking up the wrong tree. If you can become more knowledgeable and excited about the job, it might help your workdays go more smoothly.

(AP) Marshall is capping a late-season run with a return to postseason play, while Florida International will be looking to punctuate a historic season when the Thundering Herd and Golden Panthers matchup in the Beef O’Brady’s Bowl. The pairing was announced Sunday for the Dec. 20 game at Tropicana Field in St. Petersburg, Fla. It is set for an 8 p.m. kickoff and will be broadcast on ESPN. The game was slated to be a matchup of Big East and Conference USA teams, with South Florida, Pittsburgh and Connecticut all having a chance to become bowl eligible and qualify for the Big East’s tie-in entering last week. USF and UConn both lost and ended their seasons at 5-7. Pittsburgh beat Syracuse Saturday, but was also eligible to be selected by another bowl. The Sun Belt Conference had the next contractual tie with the Big East unable to qualify enough teams for its contracts. The Thundering Herd (6-6), out of Conference USA, won four of their final six games and became bowl eligible with its regular-season finale win over East Carolina last week. Marshall is making its 10th overall bowl appearance. Its most recent was a 2009 win over Ohio in the Little Caesars Pizza Bowl. Despite and up and down year, Marshall’s season did include upset Louisville earlier this season. It is led by junior receiver Aaron Dobson, who caught 42 passes and 10 touchdowns. “We are excited to bring our program to the great state of Florida, which is home to over 30 of our current players and many future prospects,” Marshall coach Doc Holliday said in a statement. FIU (8-4) finished with a programbest record this season and is representing the Sun Belt. It won its first-ever bowl game over Toledo last season, also in the Little Caesars Pizza Bowl. The Golden Panthers featured a fast-paced offense that averaged 26.3 points per game this season and has a 1,000-yard rusher in sophomore Kedrick Rhodes and big-play threat in receiver T.Y. Hilton (seven touchdowns) “Obviously, we’re beyond excited,” FIU coach Mario Cristobal said. “These past couple of seasons have been a historic run for us. Our players earned this. It’s a fantastic day. Our program continues to elevate.” Athletic director Pete Garcia also made sure to point out the Golden Panthers’ in-state finish, with traditional powers Florida, Florida State and Miami all having down seasons. FIU beat both Florida teams it played in 2011 with wins over Central Florida and Florida Atlantic. Garcia said he expects it to add up to a bump in recruiting with recruits being able to see “where we’re going and where we’re headed.” “At 8-4, we don’t only have the best record in FIU history, we have the best record in the state of Florida,” he said. “It’s a natural step for this football team to go back to a second straight bowl game.” ___ AP Sports Writer Tim Reynolds contributed to this report. Ohio University accepts bid to play in Potato Bowl BOISE, Idaho (AP) Ohio University has accepted an invitation to play in the Famous Idaho Potato Bowl. University and bowl officials announced Sunday the Bobcats will play Utah State on Dec. 17 on the blue turf at Bronco Stadium in Boise. Ohio (9-4), of the MidAmerican Conference, will be participating in its third straight bowl game. The Aggies (7-5), of the Western Athletic Conference, last played in a bowl in 1997 also in Boise, when the game was called the Humanitarian Bowl. Cincinnati beat Utah State 35-19. Ohio and Utah State have met once, a 5-0 Utah State win on Sept. 17, 1994, in Athens, Ohio. Ohio coach Frank Solich said the team is excited to play in the bowl game in Boise. The Bobcats landed a league-best 11 players on the all-MAC team this season. “For the past two years, this has been one of the premier bowl games for the Mid-American Conference,” Solich said. “I couldn’t be happier for our team and our 17 seniors, who have given so much to this program.” Utah State has won five straight games, with the last being its 24-21 win at New Mexico State on Saturday. Ohio won five in a row to See BID, Page 5 West Virginia, Clemson to collide in Orange Bowl MIAMI (AP) West Virginia needed three harrowing wins. Clemson rode the power of a blowout. Different methods, same reward. The Mountaineers and Tigers are heading to the Orange Bowl. The matchup was announced Sunday night and, given the events of the weekend, was hardly a surprise. No. 14 Clemson (103) earned an automatic berth by soundly beating Virginia Tech in the Atlantic Coast Conference title game on Saturday night. No. 23 West Virginia (93) took a more eventful road, first edging South Florida on Thursday night, then getting a colossal boost when Cincinnati beat Connecticut on Saturday. Had Cincinnati lost that game, Louisville would have almost certainly represented the Big East in the Bowl Championship Series. Instead, it’s the Mountaineers who were the Orange Bowl’s pick to join the Tigers a matchup that thrilled the bowl’s selection committee, which is already eager about the prospect of an offensive showcase. “I’d be surprised if there’s not some points scored in this one,” Clemson coach Dabo Swinney said. “I don’t think it’ll be a 6-3 ball game, you know, like maybe some of the other games around.

Russo AP College Football Writer If you like sequels, the BCS has a championship game for you: Alabama-LSU II. The Crimson Tide edged Oklahoma State in the final round of voting Sunday and will play the top-ranked Tigers in the BCS national championship game on Jan. 9 in New Orleans. Undefeated LSU is the only team to beat Alabama this season, and the head BCS official sees a rematch as a perfectly good title game. “Absolutely, if they’re 1 and 2, and they are in all the polls released today,” executive director Bill Hancock said. Still, it’s not exactly a game the public was clamoring for at least outside of Southeastern Conference territory. And it will do nothing to quiet critics of the Bowl Championship Series or calls for a college football playoff. Like it or not, the system has ensured that the SEC home to both schools will run its streak of BCS championships to six in a row. Alabama has one of those and will be making its second BCS title game appearance in the last three seasons. The Crimson Tide claims 13 national championships overall and is one of the most decorated programs in the land. It’s won seven AP titles since the wire service started its poll in 1936. LSU will be seeking its third BCS championship since 2003 at the Superdome the site of its first two. Tide coach Nick Saban won that title for LSU in ‘03. Current Tigers coach Les Miles matched his predecessor in 2007, winning a championship with a team that lost two games. These talented Tigers, led by dynamic defensive back Tyrann Mathieu, have rarely even trailed against a schedule that included Oregon and West Virginia. “This team loves the big stage,” Miles said. Alabama, with its top-rated defense and Heisman Trophy contender Trent Richardson, was the only team to stay within 13 points of the Tigers this season. W.Va. From Page A4 From Page 4 www.mydailysentinel.com ing game for fans.” The Orange Bowl is Jan. 4 in Miami the next-to-last BCS game before Alabama and LSU, the subjects of that veiled Swinney jab, meet five nights later to decide the national title. West Virginia’s BCS hopes were, at best, dim after losing 38-35 to Louisville on Nov. 5. The Mountaineers had three games left, two of them on the road, knew they had to win them all to have any realistic shot at one of football’s big-money games, and trailed in the fourth quarter in each of those contests. No problem West Virginia rallied past Cincinnati 24-21, got a touchdown with 6 minutes remaining to top Pittsburgh 21-20 and then got a field goal as time expired to beat South Florida 30-27. And when Cincinnati held off Connecticut two days later, the Mountaineers knew the Orange Bowl would be calling. “Three games in a row it came down to, shoot, I think the last minute of all three games maybe even the last couple of seconds,” West The Cowboys made a late surge by beating Oklahoma 44-10 on Saturday night, and closed the gap on Alabama in the polls. But it was not enough to avoid the first title game rematch in the 14-year history of the BCS. The Tigers (13-0) beat the Tide 9-6 in overtime on Nov. 5 in Tuscaloosa. “This could be a totally different type of game,” Saban said. “There’s so many good players on both sides of the ball for both teams. “There’s so much opportunity for this game to play out completely different and have a completely different flavor than the first game.” Alabama (11-1) finished second in both the Harris and coaches’ polls by a wide enough margin to overcome Oklahoma State’s lead in the computer ratings. The Cowboys (11-1), champions of the Big 12, will play in the Fiesta Bowl against Stanford from the Pac12. “We can’t control it,” Oklahoma State quarterback Brandon Weeden said. “But I know we had a heck of a year and we beat really good football teams in this conference and we’re conference champions, so we did everything that we could.” The other BCS matchups are: Michigan vs. Virginia Tech in the Sugar Bowl; Clemson vs. West Virginia in the Orange Bowl; Oregon vs. Wisconsin in the Rose Bowl. For the first time since the 2005 season, none of the big-money games will feature a BCS buster such as Boise State, TCU or Houston, which had a chance but lost Saturday in the Conference USA championship to Southern Mississippi. The Cougars will play Penn State, which dropped to the Ticket City Bowl in Dallas following the Jerry Sandusky sex abuse scandal that has overshadowed the Nittany Lions’ season. As the power-brokers in college football begin to plot how top-tier bowls will be set up in the future, flaws in the current system were once again being exposed this season. Oklahoma State and Alabama, two teams with perfectly good arguments to play for a national championship, Virginia coach Dana Holgorsen said. “Regardless of what happens, you’ve just got to keep playing, you’ve got to keep playing, you’ve got to keep playing and you’ve got to find a way to win in the end. And for the last three games, our guys have been able to do that.” The Orange Bowl says Holgorsen is only the second coach to lead a team to its game in his first season. He joins Chuck Fairbanks on that list; Fairbanks guided Oklahoma to an Orange Bowl win on Jan. 1, 1968. “I’m sure when I’m old and gray I will sit back and kind of reflect on it,” Holgorsen said. “But until that happens … it’s all about what’s in front of us.” The matchup features offenses with big-time numbers. Combined, West Virginia’s Geno Smith one of a dozen or so Mountaineers from the talent-rich region of South Florida and Clemson’s Tajh Boyd have thrown for 7,556 yards and 56 touchdowns, the slight edge in yardage going to Smith and the slight edge in touchdowns going to Boyd. Some of the Mountaineers know Boyd well: He was once planning to enroll at West Virginia before wound up fighting over one spot, with subjective voters and mysterious computer ratings the formulas of which are not even publicly known doing the choosing. Alabama won out and Oklahoma State, with one of the most potent offenses in the country, got its first BCS appearance as a consolation prize. “We wanted the opportunity to settle the debate that has gone all year about the offense in the Big 12 and the defense in the SEC,” Oklahoma State coach Mike Gundy said on ESPN. The Tide and Tigers played a hard-hitting defensive slog billed as the Game of the Century. And it was exciting in the way Notre Dame and Army’s scoreless tie was exciting in the 1946 version of the Game of the Century. The game was barely over when talk of rematch started, pro and con. Oklahoma State was in position to keep it from happening. The Cowboys were undefeated and second in the BCS standings heading into a Friday night game at Iowa State, a day after Oklahoma State women’s basketball coach Kurt Budke and an assistant coach were killed in a plane crash. The Cowboys lost 37-31 in double OT to the so-so Cyclones (6-6), missing a potential game-winning field goal at the end of regulation by inches. With no other undefeated teams left from the major conferences, Alabama returned to No. 2 and the debate grew more heated. Ultimately, Oklahoma State couldn’t overcome that one loss. Now Saban and Miles, who have been tussling for supremacy in the SEC West on the field and the recruiting trail, will square off for the ultimate prize. And don’t dare suggest to either of them that it’s for anything less. “I think whoever wins the game should be viewed as the national champion,” Saban said, echoing Miles’ sentiment. “Rather than rehash the system we should do research on what would make the system better in the future.” ____ AP Sports Writer Jeff Latzke in Stillwater, Okla., contributed to this report. changing his mind. And it’ll be a homecoming of sorts for Clemson freshman Sammy Watkins as well. Watkins, who grew up about a 2-hour drive away from Miami in the Fort Myers, Fla. area, has 77 catches for 1,153 yards and 11 touchdowns, plus another score on a return. “We anticipate an exciting, high-scoring game,” Orange Bowl CEO Eric Poms said. Clemson had eyes on the BCS all season, even getting some mention during the year as a national-title hopeful. The Tigers were never ranked at any point in 2010, but rose all the way to No. 6 this year after an 8-0 start. A loss to Georgia Tech started a downward spiral, during which Clemson lost three of its last four regular-season games, the final two blowout losses to North Carolina State and rival South Carolina. The Tigers looked shaky that is, until Saturday night. Clemson snapped its slump in the second half of the ACC title game, turning a matchup that was a 10-10 halftime tie into a 38-10 rout of Virginia Tech. So 30 years later, the Tigers are back in the Orange Bowl the game where the school captured its only national championship. Clemson downed Mike Rozier and Nebraska 22-15 on Jan. 1, 1982, capping a perfect season. “The site of our program’s greatest moment,” Swinney said. West Virginia is in the Orange Bowl for the first time and looking for its third BCS win in seven years. It beat Georgia in the Sugar Bowl after the 2005 season and topped Oklahoma in the Fiesta Bowl two years later. For a pair of schools with rich tradition and separated by only about 500 miles, they have hardly any history against one another. West Virginia and Clemson have met only once previously, a 27-7 Tigers win in the 1989 Gator Bowl. Chester McGlockton the former Pro Bowler who died suddenly last week sealed the Tigers’ win midway through the fourth quarter of that game 22 years ago by knocking the ball from Mountaineers quarterback Major Harris and falling on it in the end zone for a touchdown. “We look forward to getting back together down there in Miami,” Swinney said. Okla St a spot short; Mich St, Boise St miss BCS By Noah Trister AP Sports Writer While Alabama prepares to play for the BCS championship, the Oklahoma State Cowboys can only wonder how they would match up with the SEC’s best. Oklahoma State finished No. 3 in the final BCS standings Sunday night, missing out on the title game thanks to a loss at Iowa State last month. “You just want everything for the players. They wanted to play in that game and they believe they could have won that game,” Cowboys coach Mike Gundy said. The Cowboys were one of a handful of top teams settling for less this weekend. Michigan State narrowly missed out on a Rose Bowl trip by losing in the Big Ten title game, then fell all the way to the Outback Bowl. Boise State, which finished No. 7 in the final BCS standings, is going to the MAACO Bowl. Kansas State was one spot behind Boise State but is headed to the Cotton Bowl after being passed over by the BCS. “We understand why certain programs are picked at certain places,” Michigan State athletic director Mark Hollis said. “You don’t beg for respect, you earn it.” Oklahoma State was hoping its 44-10 win over Oklahoma on Saturday night would be enough to push the Cowboys past the idle Crimson Tide and into the No. 2 spot. Instead, Alabama held on to set up an all-Southeastern Conference BCS title game against LSU. The SEC is now guaranteed its sixth consecutive BCS championship. Burns Hargis, Oklahoma State’s president, offered his critique of the outcome. The Cowboys were ahead of the Crimson Tide in the computer rankings but trailed in the Harris and coaches’ polls, which also play a role in the BCS rankings. “I think there’s some bias toward the SEC right now, and I think some of it is deserved just because of their winning the national championship so much recently,” Hargis said. “I’m sure there was some negative effect there.” Oklahoma State will play Stanford in the Fiesta Bowl. Michigan State narrowly missed a BCS bid for a second consecutive season. Last year, the Spartans tied Wisconsin and Ohio State for the Big Ten title, but the other two teams went to BCS bowls and Michigan State went to the Capital One Bowl. This weekend was even more excruciating. The Spartans lost to Wisconsin 42-39 in the Big Ten title game, and now they’ll face Georgia in the Outback Bowl. Meanwhile, in-state rival Michigan, a team Michigan State finished ahead of and beat during the Big Ten season, is going to the Sugar Bowl. The Spartans have three losses to Michigan’s two, although Michigan State’s final loss came in the conference title game the Wolverines didn’t qualify for. “That’s how the BCS works,” Spartans receiver B.J. Cunningham said. “That’s the system. It’s not fair. Life isn’t fair, but that’s how it is.” The BCS bowls did not have the option of picking Michigan State because the Spartans didn’t finish in the top 14 of the BCS rankings. For Boise State, any shot at a national championship slipped away when the Broncos lost by a point to TCU last month. With no at-large berth forthcoming from the BCS, Boise State will face Arizona State in the MAACO Bowl. TCU could have snagged an automatic bid to a BCS bowl if it had finished in the top 16 of the BCS standings. Instead, the Horned Frogs were at No. 18 and will play Louisiana Tech in the Poinsettia Bowl. Kansas State could have received an at-large bid to the BCS but was left out. The Sugar Bowl took Virginia Tech and Michigan, who were 11th and 13th in the BCS rankings. Now Kansas State will take on Arkansas in the Cotton Bowl. The Razorbacks were ranked No. 6 in the BCS, the highest team not to receive a bid to one of those coveted bowls. Arkansas couldn’t be selected because the SEC already had two participants with LSU and Alabama. That was good news for the Cotton Bowl, which was happy to snap up the Razorbacks and Wildcats. “Kansas State vs. Arkansas is a blockbuster matchup for us,” Baker said. “This is exciting. Few bowls have a matchup that is as intriguing as our game.” From Page 4 difficult for me,” Ohio State interim coach Luke Fickell said on a conference call Sunday evening. “I don’t know that it could get more difficult. It might be a unique situation for the other people involved. But for our coaches and our players, I don’t know that they’ll know much of a difference. … (We’re) trying to do the best job we can to end the season on a good note with all the ups and downs we’ve had.” Meyer won two national titles in six years with the Gators. He left Gainesville after last season, citing health concerns and a desire to spend more time with his family, and became a college football analyst for ESPN. He walked away from the network last weekend and was officially introduced Monday. Fickell, who took over when Jim Tressel was forced out for breaking NCAA rules, will lead the Buckeyes through the bowl. Meyer has retained Fickell as an assistant. Will Muschamp, a former defensive coordinator at Texas, replaced Meyer last December and has struggled to pick up the pieces. The Gators lost six of their last eight games, and had to rally to beat lower-division Furman last month. “Based on what I know, Urban won’t coach the game,” Muschamp said. “I don’t think it would be any distraction. We’ve moved on. Urban did a great job during his time at the University of Florida. I’m very appreciative of what he did, but we’ve moved on and we’re looking forward to playing the game.” Muschamp called his team “soft” following a 21-7 loss to rival Florida State last weekend, but added that fans shouldn’t blame “who was here before.” That would be Meyer, who has come under fire for seemingly leaving behind a team that lacks talent and depth. Muschamp has insisted repeatedly that the Gators are close to getting back to an elite level, basically where Meyer had them in 2006, 2008 and 2009. Meyer won national championships in 2006 and 2008 at Florida. He stepped away to take care of his health and spend more time with his family, including two daughters who play college volleyball. But he was the obvious choice at Ohio State, even though his return has angered many Florida fans. Meyer takes over a program that is likely facing NCAA sanctions and was crippled by the forced resignation of Tressel. The Buckeyes completed their only season under Fickell with a 40-34 loss to Michigan last weekend that snapped a seven-game winning streak against their rivals. Ohio State lost its final three games. “I don’t know that you could get any more distractions than what we’ve had,” Fickell said. “I think our guys are just so excited to have some clarity about what’s going to happen in the future so they can put those things behind them. I don’t think this will be nearly as hard on them. … That you’re playing Florida, all the other stuff with coach Meyer and that’s where he came from, to me, won’t have an effect on our guys.” Visit us at www.mydailysentinel.com �Tuesday, December 6, 2011 NOTICE BY PUBLICATION FARMERS BANK AND SAVINGS COMPANY, PLAINTIFF, VS.

At times this year you could feel pushed to the max. Instead of a knee-jerk reaction, why not figure out what is creating this automatic response and what you can do to eliminate it? Perhaps you need more mutual support or more time to yourself. Even if you see no way to reach either goal, honor the feelings. You will find someone or a path to fulfill more of your needs. If you are single, you could meet someone incredibly upbeat, happy and close to perfect. Careful -- make sure you are not projecting. If you are attached, the two of you could have a very special year if you would just lighten up. TAURUS is anchored but can be dull at times. The Stars Show the Kind of Day You’ll Have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult ARIES (March 21-April 19) HHH You might have a tendency to go overboard and lose some control. Your perspective about a boss, parent or authority figure might be changing rapidly. How you see a situation could transform as well. Tonight: Treat yourself. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHHH You wake up well. Stop and consider revamping your day accordingly. You could be tired of dealing with the same old routine. Right now would be a perfect time for some variation. Go for what you want. Tonight: Only what you want. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHH Let others take a stance. Understanding where they are coming from could make all the difference in how you relate to them. Grow past an immediate hassle. Take all the time you need to reflect on what change you would like to make and how you would like to make it. Tonight: Get plenty of R and R. CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHHH Meetings point out the path to success. You understand what is happening and what is necessary to make it happen. Your sense of humor emerges when a friend rolls right into a situation. Tonight: Take the lead. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHHH You could be stuck on a certain point or having to have someone agree with you. Don’t push yourself too hard, and remain sensitive to a changing situation. You cannot format others’ reactions. Accept them, and you will be happier. Tonight: A must appearance. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHHHH Look past the obvious. Detach from a problem — that is the first step in gaining new insight. You will evolve in a new direction through accepting what is going on and letting go of your judgments. Tonight: Put on a great piece of Christmas music. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHHH Relate one-on-one with others. You’ll gain greater insight by letting others feel secure. Allowing this type of situation to evolve, another person feels more secure and becomes more authentic. Tonight: Have a long-overdue chat during dinner. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHHH Defer to others. Listen to news that is forthcoming and remain open to a loved one, friend or family member who has a great impact on your thinking. Note what goes on with this person when you no longer lead. Tonight: Sort through your invitations. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHHH You move from creativity to effective ingenuity applied to key situations. A pile of projects might be on your desk or mind. Apply yourself just a little, and you might be delighted by how much you get done. Tonight: Think of holiday musts. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHHH You might not be saying what is on your mind, but your body language and smile give you away. Many of you will have romance on your mind. You might be up for a risk. Take your time rethinking a decision that could cause you a problem. Tonight: Lighten up the moment. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHH Others could judge you as being solemn and/or quiet. You need some time for thought. Look at where you have made a judgment that ultimately just might not work for you or your life. Feel free to move forward. Tonight: Head home. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHHH Pressure builds at work or with someone you need to answer to. A discussion flourishes, and you gain a better rapport with this person. Stop lecturing or saying things for impact. Stay open to what you are hearing. It might change a goal. Tonight: Hang out with a friend.
