REED BREED@MYDAILYSENTINEL.COM MIDDLEPORT Mayors Middleport' Court meets all standards set forth by the state, based on a federal cowt ruling, Mayor Michael Gerlach said. He said again this week the appointment of Linda Warner as magistrate will only strengthen the village's court program and relieve part of the 'caseload of the county court. Because Gerlach does not have direct control over the court's budget, the standard is met and the coutt is certified by the Ohio Supreme Court. Any fines received and their use are included in the annual state-required village audit. Next month, Gerlach said, Middleport will host one of a series of Mayor's Court training sessions for mayor's. clerks and conn- cil presidents, who can preside at Mayor's Court in the mayor's absence. The village court, as certified by the Ohio Supreme Court, can determine guilt or innocence in trials, Gerlach said, but he does not do so. "I never have. I don't feel qualified to do that. There is a reason we have attorneys," Gerlach said. 'We take guilty and nocontest plea and assess the fines." Further, Gerlach said, any defendant who pleads not guilty and requests a trial goes to County Court Judge Steven L. Story to do so. "County Court then gets the fines. A large part of our court cost is taken by the state to provide indigent counsel. That money is then distributed back to County Court because the trials are held there." That court has an ever- increasing caseload, particularly in its civil division, which handles consumer credit judgment actions, evictions and other small claims matters. "It seems to be in the village's best interest to go to a magistrate system for those 'not guilty' pleas and civil cases. The fines will then stay in Middleport." Gerlach said the local lawsuit filed against the village resulted in a recommendation to use a magistrate in the village court. Warner, who also serves as magistrate in Pomeroy and in the • Common Pleas Court, can hear criminal arraignments at the village level, and will also hear cases relating to housing code violations. Domestic violence complaints must be heard by a magistrate as well.

Ohio gets $5.1 million more for energy assis~ance STAfiF REPORT COLUMBUS - Ohio has received an additional $5,166,455 in emergency funding to help eligible low-income homeowners and renters meet their home energy needs. The funding to Ohio is a part of an over $1 00 million allocation made by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services for distribution ' \ to the states. Distribution of funds will be administered through local Community Action Agencies. The money is in addition to other heating and cooling funds administered by CAA offices. The funds were allocated to all states based on their regulru· (old) block grant allocations. 'During these times. of economic uncertainty, far too many Americans face difficulties affording the basics, such as utilities" said HHS Secretary Sebelius.. "The release of these funds will help ease those worries, and assure individuals in Ohio. particularly those with the lowest incomes that pay a high proportion of household income for home energy, that they will not be left behind during the cold winter months ahead.'' LIHEAP helps eligible families pay for home heating and cooling costs, as well as helping weatherize eligible faxnilies' homes. As part of thit; Administration's effort to maximize federal funds. the department has focused on strengthening the program's operations and ensuring integrity at every level. Earlier this year, HHS requested strategic plans fr~m each state to outline their tactics for improving efficiency and integrity in LIHEAP programs. Those plans, having all now been received, are being reviewed to make sure states are using effective program management and improperpay men t-prev en t ion strategies to ensure these funds are reaching the Keeping Meigs County informed The Daily Sentinel Subscribe • 992-2155 ,, families who need them most.

AP Poll: Health care law making us muddle-minded WASHINGTON (AP) Six month s after President Barack Obama signed the landmark health care law, the nation still doesn't really know what's in it. More than half of Americans mistakenly believe the overhaul will raise taxes for most people this year. an Associated Press poll finds. But that would be true only if most people were devoted to indoor tanning, which got hit with a sales tax. Many who wanted the health care system to be overhauled don't realize that some provisions cared about actually make it in. And a quarter of supporters don't understand that something hardly anyone wanted didn't make it. They mistakenly say the law will set up panels of bureaucrats to make decisions about people's care - what critics labeled "death panels.'' The uncertainty and confusion amount to a dismal verdict for the Obama administration's campaign to win over public opinion. Before the final votes in Congress, Obama personally assured wavering Democrats he'd take the case to the American people after the law passed. But it hasn't worked. And in the final stretch before the midterm elections 6 Jublicans are united , . ,their call for repeal. ''I'm insecure about a document that was as big as the health care bill and wonder if anybody understands exactly what's in it,'' said Diann Kelley, 61, a retiree from Marietta, Ga .. who says she's "somewhat ---- Wednesday, September 22,2010 Community Calendar Thursday, Sept. 23 POMEROY The igs Soil and Water nservation District • Board of Supervisors, regular session, 11 :30 a.m. at the district office at 33101 Hiland Road.

The AP poll was conducted by Stanford University with the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation. "The main fear is the cost," explained Kelley. "I'm not sure that we can afford to take on something quite as massive as the health care reform with the economy the way it is.'' It's not that Kelley has a negative opinion about everything in the law. The prohibition on health insurance compames denying coverage to people because of preexisting medical condi- ' tions ''is really a fine idea," she said. The poll's questions included a true-or-false quiz on 19 items, some of which are in the law and others not. People were also asked how confident they were about their answers. For the most part, majorities picked the right answers. But a sizable number also got things wrong. And right or wrong. people were unsure of their answers. Two-thirds or more were uncertain about their responses on eight of mne core provisions of the legislation. Analysis of the findings indicated a split as far as the impact of accurate knowledge, between Democrats and independents on one side and Republicans on the other. Accurate knowledge of the law made no difference in overwhelming opposition from Republicans.

Young professional hides credit card usage Dear Dr. Brothers: We never allowed our son to have a credit card during college, but now that he is working at his first job, it seemed appropriate to let him get one. The problem is that he just doesn't seem very clear on what he is buying, whether he is paying the bills and how much he is letting slip by for the bank to charge him interest. Every time we try to broach the subject, he says it is "taken care of.'' He lives in an apartment, so we can't look over his shoulder! H.C. Dear H.C.: This may come as a bit of a shock to you, but it sounds as though your son has grown up and is trying to take on his responsibilities without a lot of help from Mom and Dad. He has a college degree, a job, an apartment and his own set of friends, as well as a paycheck and a credit card. You should pat yourselves on the back for a job well done - a lot of families are in much worse shape, and many college grads are still looking for their first job a year later. So your son must have something going for him, and looking over his shoulder is not something I would suggest or recommend. I am sure it is worrisome when you get vague answers to your questions about his finances. It could very well be that he's not quite on top of things, that he has gone overboard with his spending - that first job doesn't always pay too welL and independent living expenses are always a shock or that he doesn't quite understand the system.

The First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution U.S. hails Iran sanctions, experts doubt results BY ROBERT BURNS ASSOCIATED PRESS The Obama administration says the latest round of sanctions appears to have succeeded in bringing additional pressure against Iran's nuclear program. But private experts question whether the penalties will achieve their goal of compelling Tehran to give up any nuclear ambitions. In a speech Monday, the Treasury Department's point man on Iran sanctions, Stua11 Levey, said U.S. and international sanctions are "dramatically isolating Iran financially and conunercially." And he asserted that this "can and will create leverage for our diplomacy" with lr~n's leaders. "Almost daily we receive reports of major fi1ms around the world deciding to pull out of business dealings with Iran," Levey said at the Center for Strategic and International Studies. The number of companies that recently have curtailed or eliminated their ties to Iran is in the dozens, he added, including Toyota and oil giant Royal Dutch Shell. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton has said the sanctions are ''biting" Iran's economy. On Tuesday, U.S. officials in Vienna urged Iran to return to negotiations, which reached a stalemate months ago after Iran tried to re-negotiate an agreement for it to ship out most of its low enriched uranium to be turned into fuel for a research reactor. At a conference held by the International Atomic Energy Agency, U.S. Energy Secretary Steven Chu said Washington is "always interested in re-engaging Iran" on the fuel swap but wants to make sme Tehran is sincere. Analysts generally agree sanctions are taking a toll on In~n. But will they stop Iran from getting the bomb? Probably not. says Ray Takeyh. a Mideast expert at the Council on Foreign Relations and a former State Department adviser on Iran policy. The policies of Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and President Manmoud Ahmadinejad "are largely unaffected by mounting financial penalties imposed by the West," Takeyh wrote Sunday in an opinion piece in The Washington Post. "Washington and its allies still fuil to realize that they are not dealing with a conventional nation-state making subtle estin1ates of national interests," Takeyh wrote. K.harnenei sees reconciliation with the as subversion that could undermine the pillars of the Islamic state, he added. In an Associated Press interview in New York on Sunday, Ahmadinejad said sanctions are futile. "If they were to be effective, I should not be sitting here right now," he told the AP. Ahmadinejad also repeated Iran's assertion that it has no intention of building a nuclear weapon. Even some Obama administration officials have conceded that sanctions may fall short of their goal, which is to convince Iran's leaders that the political costs of their continuing defiance on nuclear issues have reached an unacceptable !eve~. ''Will it deter them from their ambitions with regard to nuclear capability? Probably not," CIA director Leon Panetta said June 27, while adding that Iran's true nuclear intentions are unclear. Former Secretary of State Colin Powell has come to a similar conclusion. "I think eventually we will have to deal with the reality that sanctions may not change the views of the Iranians on these issues.. of a nuclear program, Powell said Sunday on NBC's ''Mee't the Press." u.s.

The mostly partisan vote dealt a major blow to gay rights groups who saw the legislation as their best hope, at least in the short term, for repeal of the 17-year-old law known as "don't ask, don't tell."· If Democrats lose seats in the upcoming congressional elections this fall, as many expect, repealing the ban could prove even more difficult - if not impossible - next year. The Senate could take up the measure again during a lame-duck session after the elections, but a spokesman for Senate Majority ader Harry Reid said • hasn't decided whether to do so. "The whole thing is a political train wreck," said Richard Socarides, a White House adviser on gay rights during the Clinton administration. Democrats included the repeal provision in a $726 billion defense policy billf which authorizes a pay raise for the troops among other popular programs .• In a deal brokered with the White House, the measure would have overturned the 1993 law banning openly gay service only after a Pentagon review and certification from the president that lifting the ban wouldn't bur~ troop morale. But with little time left for debate before the ember ballot, the bill languished on the • ate calendar until gay rights groups, backed by pop star Lady Gaga, began an aggressive push to tum it into an election issue. Reid agreed to force a vote on the bill this week and limit debate, despite Republican obJections. A Nevada Democrat in a tight race of his own this fall, he also pledged to use the defense bill as a vehicle for an immigration proposal that would enable young people to qualify for U.S. citizenship if they joined the military. Republicans alleged that Reid was using the defense bill to score political points with the Democratic base. "This is not a serious exercise. It's a show," said Senate GOP leader ch McConnell of tucky. • Democrats countered that the bill merely reflects public opinion. Recent ~olls suggest that a majonty of Americans think the ban on gays in the military should ·be overturned. "We're going to fight for this," said Sen. Carl Levin, D-Mich., chairman of the Armed Services Committee. But at least for now, the question of how and when to change the policy returns to the Pentagon, which had set a December deadline to complete a study of the effects of lifting the ban. Defense Secretary Robert Gates has said that he supports President Barack Obama's goal of repeal, but Gates made it clear he thought the process should move gradually. It is not clear how quickly the Pentagon might make its own recommendations. Pentagon press secretary Geoff Morrell declined to comment Tuesday on what he called "an internal procedural matter Jor the Senate." Initially, advocates had thought that Democrats might win the 60 votes needed to overcome GOP objections and advance the bill. Sen. Susan Collins, a moderate Maine Republican, was seen as a crucial vote because she supports overturning the ban. But Collins ultimately sided with her GOP colleagues in arguing that the bill shouldn't advance because Republicans weren't given sufficient chance to offer amendments to the wide-ranging policy bill. Democrats also failed to keep all of their party members in line. Democratic Sens. Blanche Lincoln and Mark Pryor, both of Arkansas, voted with Republicans to scuttle the bill. The vote was 5643, four short of the 60 required to advance under Senate rules. Lincoln said she objected to the limits on debate and wanted a chance to offer amendments that would benefit her state. In a statement, Pryor said the bill deserved more serious debate than was being allowed. "There needs to be a genuine and honest effort to .craft a defense bill that senators from both parties can support, because supporting our troops should not ever be a partisan issue," he said. When it became clear that Democrats would lose, Reid cast his own vote in opposition as a procedural tactic. Under Senate rules, doing so enables him to revive the bill at a later date. Reid spokesman Jim Manley said no decision had been made as to when Reid might call up the bill again. The episode upset many advocates, who believe that neither Obama nor Reid did enough to see the measure through. Meanwhile, conservative groups hailed the vote as a victory for the troops. "At least for now they will not be used to advance a radical social agenda," said Tony Perkins, president of the Family Research Council. An estimated 13,000 people have been discharged under the Jaw since its inception in 1993. Although most dismissals have resulted from gay service members outing themselves, gay rights' groups say it has been used by vindictive co-workers to drum out troops who never made their sexuality an issue.

Jimmy Stewart (R-Albany) was recently presented with the United Conservatives of Ohio's Watchdog of the Treasury award at an event in Columbus for his commitment to fiscal responsibility and strong conservative voting record during the I 28th General Assembly. Stewrut, who is a member of the & Financial Senate Finance Institutions Committee, has been a strong advocate in the Senate for policy that works to encourage business development and job growth in southeast Ohio and other parts of the state and promote the efficient use of taxpayer resources. In fact, he received a 100 percent favorable voting record over the past two years on legislation deemed important to the UCO, including supporting a bill that would require the Auditor of State to conduct regular performance audits of several state agencies to help identify and eliminate burdensome mles and regulations that are impediments to economic development in our state and a proposal designed to protect Ohio small busi- nesses partlctpating in the Ohio Bureau of Workers' Compensation group rating programs from further rate hikes. "It is critical, particularly as our state faces a potential $8 billion budget shortfall next spring. that state government not only manages our very limited taxpayer resources efficiently, but works to eliminate burdemome, bureaucratic rules and regulations and further policies that attract investment. business growth and job creation to our local communities," said Stewart. "I am honored to be recognized as a 'watchdog' for Ohio taxpayers, and I will continued to strive to make decisions in the Senate that support these important principles." The United Conservatives of Ohio advocate for public policy that promotes free enterprise, low taxes and greater efficiency in government. Sen. Stewart represents Ohio's 20th Senate District, which includes Athens, Coshocton. Guernsey, Meigs, Monroe, Morgan, Muskingum, Noble and Washington counties.

The Tea Party Express made a huge splash in Alaska, where it poured nearly $600,000 into the race in the waning weeks to support Joe Miller over Republican Sen.

Looking ahead, Russo said in an interview, ''We're going to favor the candidates we supported in the primary." "But we're not limited. to that. We'll try to help make a difference." Tea party candidates have also received a boost from FreedomWorks. a conservative group led by former House Republican leader Richard Armey. Its political action committee, formed last April. has rai'sed only a fraction of what the Tea Party Express has amassed in its PAC. But Armey's group has its own influential network, and it has weighed in to support tea party candidates that did not get Tea Party Express support. such as Rand Paul in Kentucky.

Fed signals it will take further steps if needed WASHINGTON (AP) - The Federal Reserve signaled Tuesday that it's worried about the weakness of the recovery and is ready to take further steps to boost the economy if needed. Fed officials said they are also concerned that sluggish economic growth could prevent prices from rising at a. healthy rate. But at the end of its meeting, the Fed announced no new steps to try to rejuvenate the economy and drive down unemployment. Instead, it hinted that it's prepared to see if the economy can heal on its own. Stock prices, which had been relatively flat before the Fed's statement, fluctuated before returning to about the same level in late-afternoon trading. The meeting is the last for the Fed's chief policymaking group before the Nov. 2 midterm elections. It comes as voters are focused on the economy and the jobs crisis. Polls show they are likely to punish Democrats in Washington for the sluggish economy. In its statement, the Fed used the same language it did in August to sketch a downbeat view of the economy. It concluded that economic activity has slowed in recent months. And it warned that the pace of growth is likely to be "modest in the near term•· - almost identical to the assessment it made a month ago. But the Fed delivered a stronger signal that it would take new steps to lift the economy. The Fed said it is "prepared to provide additional accommodation." In its previous policy statements, the Fed didn't go that far. Instead, it had said it would "employ its policy. tools as necessary." The Fed made clear that given the economy's weakness, it's more concerned about prices falling than rising. It didn't use the word deflation. But some economists have raised fears about the country sliding into a deflationary spiral. That's a widespread drop in wages. prices of goods and services and the value of stocks and homes. ''They are more worried about the economy and deflation than I thought they would be," said Sung Won Sohn, an economist at the Martin Smith School of Business at California State University. For the sixth straight meeting. Thomas Hoenig, president of the Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City, was the sole dissenter. At Tuesday's meeting, the Fed once again left a key short-term rate near zero, where it has been since December 2008. It also repeated a pledge to hold rates at those ultralow levels for an "extended period.'' If the economy keeps losing momentum, the Fed will be likelier to provide relief at its next meeting on Nov. 2-3 or at its last regularly scheduled session of the year on Dec. 14. Chairman Ben Bernanke last month indicated a preference to launch a new program to buy large amounts of government debt. Such a move would be intended to lower already low rates on mortgages, corporate loans and other debt. The goal is to entice people and businesses to spend more. and thereby strengthen the economy and lower unemployment. In economic circles. it's known as "quantitative easing.'' That's when the Fed takes unconventional steps, as it did during the financial crisis, to inject money into the economy. The Fed does this to lower long-term interest rates and help banks lend more. As a result, the Fed's balance sheet has ballooned to $2.3 trillion, nearly triple its level before the crisis. Even if the Fed were to do that, economists don't think it would be enough to increase economic growth much. Already low long-term rates haven't managed to get Americans to spend much more. Both compa- nies and individuals have been cautious as they rebuild their finances and pare debt. Still, even with no guarantee that reducing long-term rates would stimulate the economy, the Fed can't risk its credibility by standing idly if things worsen. Businesses and investors could lose faith in the Fed and the economy and be less inclined to spend. That would further weaken the economy. At its last meeting in August, the Fed took a small step to aid the recovery: It decided to use proceeds from its huge mortgage portfolio and buy government debt. The small amount involved helped nudge down mortgage rates. But it would take a bigger buying binge to push rates down further. Sohn predicted the Fed would start expanding its balance sheet before the end of the year. "Even though they are not taking any action now. they have left the door open for additional action through buying Treasury bonds and mortgage-backed securities,'' he said. Economic growth slowed in the second quarter, advancing at a pace of just 1.6 percent, compared with 3.7 percent growth in the first three months of the year. Growth in the JulySeptember period is expected to be similarly weak. That raises the likelihood that the unemployment rate, already high at 9.6 percent, could climb even higher in the months ahead. That would be an alarming development for the Obama administration, which is already at risk of losing control of the House or Senate or both. Republicans and Democrats agree there's little the president and the Democratic Party can do to change voters' attitudes with so little time left before Nov. 2. Obama acknowledged the economic hardships many Americans are enduring. saying Monday: • "If you're out of w right now, the only thing that you're going to be hearing is. when do I get a job? If you're about to lose your home. all you're thinking about is, when can I get my home?" !38th Annual GYMANFA ATNEBO Congregational CHURCH Welsh Festival of Preaching and Singing Sunday, Scptember26, 2010 10:30 AM Morning Session 12:00 PM Lunch 1:00PM Afternoon Session Special Guests Rev.

Ohio It's easy for teams to get excited about playing a ranked opponent, a league foe or a big rival. Yet for the second week in a row No. 2 Ohio State must focus on a heavy underdog that is JUSt hopmg to avoid getting squashed. Still, the team walking into that situation at Ohio Stadium on Saturday is weB aware the Buckeyes will have their minds on the task at hand. 'T ve been there where you have some games sandwiched around some. quote unquote. bigger games," said Eastern Michioan head coach Ron Englisi1. winless in his 15 games at the school after assistant-coaching stints at Michigan. Louisville and Arizona State. "With the staff they have·, coach (Jim) Tressel and his coaches have been domg this a Ion~ time. They've got a really good football team. They're going to be ready to play.'' The Buckeyes appeared to be fully attentive to overmatched Ohio University on Saturday. a game which kicked off a strino of four straight · matchups against teams with a decided disadvantage in talent. Eastern Michigan is a 421!2-point underdog. ·'We have to remember it's still football. We only have a certain number of games to play so we have to keep focused each game and not look ahead," running back Brandon Saine said after the easy 43-7 victory over the m-state Bobcats last week. ··we play our game out there and stay with our game plan so we don't slip up." Defensive end Cameron Heyward echoed that sentiment. ''We have so much experience we couldn't let down because we're only guaranteed 12 games.., he said. Like Ohio Universitv, Eastem Michigan is a MidAmerican Conference team that will get an $850.000 check in hopes of hanging around for a while with the Buckeyes. Next up for Ohio State are Big Ten matchups at Illinois and at home against Indiana before the next big game on the calendar, a Top 25 showdown at Wisc.:onsm on Oct. 16. ''Eastern Michigan will come here with the mindset that they can beat us." Heyward said. "So it's back to work. We have to not onl} get ready for Eastem Michigan. but also get ready for the Big Ten." It's not as if the Buckeyes don't have a lot of areas in which to improve. despite three relatively comfy margins of victory. 1l1eir kick coverage was shaky once again against Ohio. A week after having a kickoff and a punt retumed for touchdowns in a 36-24 decision over Miami. the Buckeyes did not look like a terun which spends hours and hours in practice working oo special teams. A penalty nullified a 99yard kickoff retum by Ohio's Julian Posey, so the stats won't show it. But faulty tackling and mistakes m filling assigned Janes have been an or1going problem for the Buckeyes. They also had a punt blocked - after having a field goal blocked in the opener. "Everything that didn't go well detracts from (the win).'' Tressel said. "We just tlat out missed a guy on the punt that was blocked, and you can't do that, not if you want to win." It may take more than a missed tackle or two for the Buckeyes to lose to Ea'item Michigan. which has been outscored 111-62 in three losses and has surrendered ll n1shing touchdowns while giving up 2;13 yards on the ground per grune. But the Buckeyes are not feeling sorry for the Eagles. Or at least thev're not talking as if they are. "Any team can beat us any day." defensive back Tyler Moeller said. "We need to play our game every week and not let go of the throttle." Roundup assists and Shriver added another nine. Ward led the defense with 13 digs. follo\\ed by Baxter. West.

But the students' - and the community's determination hasn't taken a hit. The violent tornado that struck southeast Ohio last Thursday destroyed the B uIIdogs· stadium, 40-year-old Basil Rutter Field. The visiting bleachers were flipped upside down. the scoreboard was leveled. the goal posts mangled and the press box shattered. Even the school's victory bell was badly damaged. But two days later. the Bulldogs played on the road at Chillicothe and won. 19-10. With a home game just days away. Athens is trying to come up with a solution. Ohio University athletic director Jim Schaus said Peden Stadium is an option, provided the details can be worked out. But there is a concern that free use of the facility may be complicated in terms of NCAA rules. Nelsonville-York High School, roughly 15 minutes away, could be another option since the artificial surface could handle the increased load of additional games. However, the field is lined only for football, meaning Athens· soccer teams would have to find another home. The outpouring of support for the school, the students and the community has been overwhelming. Message boards came alive with offers of support and best wishes following the storms. At Saturday's game. donation boxes were set up for spectators to offer canned goods and other supplies that Athens coaches then took back to the Red Cross station set up in The Plains to help out those with more immediate demands than where to play a game. LAKE EFFECT: Freshman Braelen Bader's PAT in overtime allowed Celina to snap an 11-game losing streak to rival St. Marys Memorial with a 26-25 win in the annual Battle of Grand Lake.

DA: Jets' Edwards ad~itted drinks before DW~ stop NEW YORK (AP) New York Jets star wide receiver Braylon Edwards told a poHce officer he'd been partying and drinking before being pulled over in his luxury SUV. but he suggested letting him leave the car and go home, prosecutors said . as he was arraigned Tuesday on drunken-driving charges. A solemn Edwards was released without bail in a case that could compound his legal troubles while he's on probation after a fracas in Cleveland last year. He declined to discuss the drunken-driving arrest as he left a Manhattan courthouse. thronged by reporters. ''There will be plenty of time to talk. I'll address everybody,'' said Edwards, wearing a black T-shirt and fashionably torn gray jeans. Defense lawyer Peter M. Frankel said Edwards was exhausted and focused on getting back. to his team. ·'Obviously, this is very difficult for him,., Frankel said. "Without question. absolutely, he understands the seriousness of the 'situation, and he is committed to getting back on the football field and doing what he does best for the Jets." A breath test showed Edwards had a bloodalcoh'ol level twice the legal limit after he was stopped on Manhattan's West Side around 5 a.m. Tuesday, prosecutors said.

W.Va. (AP) - Being a wide receiver at West Virginia mostly has meant throwing blocks to spring the Mountaineers· stable of speedy running backs on long runs. That tradition will never end, but the team's current pass catchers are showing that they're more than just obstacles for defenders chasing Noel Devine. Not only can these guys catch. they can do something after the grab. too. First-year starters Tavon Austin and Stedman Bailey. along with seniors Jock Sanders and Devine. are helping No. 22 West Virginia balance its offense. which over the past decade produced a formidable ground game with mobile quarterbacks Pat White and Rasheed Marshall and running back Steve Slaton. along with Devine. West Virginia has had many individual standouts at wide receiver before. most notably Sanders last year. Darius Reynaud in 2007 and Chris Henry in 2003 and 2004. But it seems there's more targets making headlines, especially in September. West Virginia has three players among the top I 0 in catches in the Big East. ''For being such ·a suspect group early in the season. they've come on pretty well," West Virginia coach Bill Stewart said Sunday. "We're trying to spread the wealth. And these little guys are. stepping up and makmg plays. They've grown. "They've got a long way to go yet because we have some first-year starters out there like Stedman Bailey. But big plays are being made and 1 enjoy that and I think the Mountaineer faithful enjoy that." The run-based spread offense built bv former coach Rich R-odriguez and used the previous two years by Stewart is gettmg tweaked more and more. The ultimate lesson in finding balance in the offense was learned in Rodriguez's last game at West Virginia in 2007. when Pittsburgh shut down the tvlountaincers · vaunted run attack. White was injured in the first half. West Virginia had no passing game and missed a trip to the national championship game. ln his tirst three starts. sophomore quarterback Geno Smith is proving himself as one of the Big East's emerging stars with 800 yards passing. He's completed passes to I0 different receivers. "Geno has a lot of patience and he's confi- dent and he knows what he's doing." Austin said. It helps to have playmakers on the receiving end of the ball. Austin, Sanders and Devine are among the fastest players on the team. and that equates to West Virginia (3-0) throwing balls downfield - and completing them - more often than in recent memory. Sanders and Austin showed their speed after the catch in Saturday's 31-11 win Maryland. Sanders ha 32-yard reception an Austin a 29-yarder. both after short grabs. Sanders also returned a punt 66 yards. Stewart said he told Austin. a ·Baltimore native, and other WVU players with Maryland roots that they didn't have to play like super heroes. ' just give a focused effort. Austin. a sophomore who converted from running back this season, played like one anyway. catching seven passes for 106 yards and two scores. ''Tavon had the cape on for a little bit because he sure made some nice plays.'' Stewart said. Austin leads the Big East '" ith 21 catches for 28 I yards Sanders ( 19 catches. 214 yards) •. second in receptions a Devine ( 13 catches. yards) is eighth. Bailey. a redshirt freshman. had his first big game. catching four passes for 60 yards and two scores against the Terrapins. Tight ends Tyler Urban. who missed the Maryland game with a knee injury. and Will Johnson give the receiving corps added backbone. The Mountaineers will need it for their road game against No. 15 LSU (3-0) on Saturday night. The Tigers ''ill be West Virginia's first ranked opponent of the season. ''I'm really pumped up to see '"hat I can do and see what the team can do.'' Austin said. " It's going to be somethi down there." Smith said he '11 ready for the challenge. too. "We are confident in our abilities.'' he said. "We've got to giw it our best shot. To be honest wtth you. 1 just take things day by day because life is short. l don't think about any other game until it comes.'' ol' � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
