Sturgeon, 32 50 cents daily THURSDAY, MARCH 15, 2012 Vol. 62, No. 43 Gallia man charged with murder following death of Betsy Ball By Amber Gillenwater mdtnews@mydailytribune.com GALLIPOLIS — Charges have been filed against a Gallia County man who was recently arrested in connection with the death of Betsy Ball. Lee Hawkins, 47, Skidmore Road, Bidwell, is being charged with aggravated murder, tampering with evidence and gross abuse of a corpse following his arrest by deputies with the Gallia County Sheriff’s Office and agents with the Ohio Bureau of Criminal Identification and Investigation on Tuesday. The investigation into the death of Ball, 67, Morgan Township, began following the discovery of her body earlier this month in a rural area off of Piper Road near the Village of Vinton in northern Gallia County. Ball was reported missing during the early morning hours of March 1, and deputies, along with other emergency service workers, responded by searching the area near Ball’s home on Wilder Road in Morgan Township. After receiving a phone tip, her body was discovered later that day approximately five miles from her residence. According to a press release issued by Gallia County Sheriff Joe Browning, Hawkins was arrested following an investigation into the victim’s death who, according to preliminary autopsy reports released by Gallia County Coroner Dr. Daniel Whiteley, expired as a result of strangulation. The suspect was reportedly a farm worker that had been employed by the Balls at their family farm. Browning reported that the expertise and assistance rendered by not only the Ohio Attorney General’s BCI agents and Gallia County Prosecutor’s Office, but also sheriff’s office deputies and staff was invalu- able in solving the case. “Our public can rest assured that we have pursued every lead brought to us, and plan to aggressively prosecute the responsible party in these types of heinous crimes,” Browning said. Anyone with information on any crime that has occurred in Gallia County can call the Gallia County Sheriff’s Office tip-line and leave an anonymous message at Lee Hawkins (740) 446-6555. Meigs purchases three new buses Accepts Chancey’s resignation as football coach By Charlene Hoeflich choeflich@mydailysentinel.com POMEROY — A contract for the purchase of three new school buses, along with the acceptance of the Mike Chancey’s resignation as head football coach, were highlights of Tuesday night’s meeting of the Meigs Local Board of Education. The contract for the three 72-passenger, 2013 Freightliner diesel school buses, was awarded to Edwin H. Davis & Sons, Inc. The base cost of each bus is $74,670 which with accessories added comes to $79,670. Rec- ommendation on the buses to be purchased came from Dean Harris, the district’s transportation supervisor. As for the resignation of Chancey, Superintendent Rusty Bookman said it applies only to his position as coach and not as a teacher of special education students. A search for a new coach will get underway immediately, said Bookman.

File photos National Registry change sought on Buffington battlefield By Charlene Hoeflich choeflich@mydailysentinel.com PORTLAND — A project is under way to amend the existing National Register of Historic Places nomination for the Buffington Island Civil War battlefield in Portland, Meigs County. To introduce the project, which is an ongoing effort of the Ohio Historical Preservation Office to protect important historic sites in Ohio, the first of three community meetings will be held at 7 p.m. Tuesday at the Portland Community Center. Currently, only the four-acre Buffington Island State Memorial is listed in the National Register. However, a recent American Battlefield Protection Program study determined that the battlefield encompasses over 1,200 acres in the Portland bottom area At the meeting, Edd Sharp, president of the Buffington Island Battlefield Association, will give a presentation on the history of the battle, and Joseph E.

During this week’s council meeting, Dan Short of the Pomeroy Merchants Association addressed council with the idea of covering some of the village’s parking meters. Short suggested allowing the meters on the parking lot to be covered for customer parking, with the merchants helping to monitor the spaces to make sure merchants are not parking there. Meters will be marked for customer parking only with a two-hour limit. The Merchants Association will handle the signs for the meters.Meters can be used by customers shopping in the downtown area, or those using the walking path. Council unanimously approved the idea, giving a two month trial period for this, with Mayor Mary McAngus and Police Chief Mark Proffitt also supporting the plan. Short also asked council about the Farmer’s Market being moved from Friday night to Saturday morning, depending on interest from local farmers. No action was taken.

Missing pieces remain for Silver Bridge book Beth Sergent bsergent@heartlandpublications.com POINT PLEASANT — Support from the community for the upcoming book on the Silver Bridge tragedy has been “tremendous,” though a few missing pieces from the puzzle remain. “Everything has been going really well in getting information, pictures and writing the book,” Ruth Fout, one of the local curators said. “The response from families and the public has been tremendous.” However, Fout said a few missing pieces to the upcoming book remain, namely a photo of the National Guard Armory at the time of the disaster (or at least from the 1960s) and more pictures of the bridge tragedy’s victims whom their families would like to honor with a photo (and place) in the publication. The deadline for the information to be submitted is now March 15 — the previous deadline was January. All material can be dropped off at the Point Pleasant River Museum during normal business hours. Staff at the museum can scan photos and give the original back to the owner within minutes so no one has to part with their mementos. All the material for the book is due to the publisher in April.

Ohio senator says exotic pet rules aim to protect COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — A state legislator said Wednesday that he hopes a bill that would ban new ownership of exotic pets will prevent situations such as the one in eastern Ohio last year that led to 48 animals being shot to death after their suicidal owner let them loose. In a prepared statement for the first hearing on the bill, Republican state Sen. Troy Balderson said he crafted the proposal after meeting with animal professionals, pet owners and animal welfare groups. “The goals … are simple: To protect our citizens, to preserve legitimate, law-abiding individuals who care for wild animals and to put standards in place to ensure the safety of these animals,” he said. The bill was getting its first hearing before a Senate committee following its introduction last week. Ohio has some of the nation’s weakest restrictions on exotic pets. Balderson is from Zanesville, near the farm where a man released dozens of wild animals before killing himself in October. Authorities fatally shot most of the pets to protect residents. The bill would ban new ownership of exotic animals, allowing current owners to keep their pets by obtaining a permit by 2014. They’d be required to pass a background check, obtain insurance, microchip their pets and show that they adhere to care standards and have taken safety measures, such as fencing property. Zoos, circuses, sanctuaries and research facilities would be exempt. The bill has been criticized by the nonprofit Ohio Association of Animal Owners, which says it opposes plans to “eradicate” exotic animals form the state and believes residents should have the right to own, breed, sell and exhibit animals as long as they are properly housed and cared for. The measure has the support of Republican Gov. John Kasich and the Columbus Zoo. The head of the Humane Society of the United States has said the measure would be a vast improvement for Ohio but had concerns over certain exemptions and snake ownership rules. The bill would let owners of constricting and venomous snakes keep their reptiles, but they must have safety plans in place in case the snakes got out. Owners could still breed and acquire new snakes. “I believe that the restrictions placed on snake owners in this bill are sufficient to ensure public safety, but also allow this very large industry to continue in Ohio,” Balderson said. SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico (AP) — The Republican presidential contest rumbled into Puerto Rico Wednesday as a two-man race, with Rick Santorum nipping more aggressively at Mitt Romney’s heels after again frustrating the front-runner in Southern primaries. Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich, with little to show for pinning his hopes on the South, nonetheless vowed to stay in. His deputy campaign manager outlined a strategy aimed at denying Romney a clean win in the delegate race and making Gingrich’s case along the way to the Republican convention in August. But after taking Tuesday’s primaries in Alabama and Mississippi, Santorum called for the party’s faithful to unite behind him alone. “Now is the time to pull together,” Santorum declared to conservatives in Lafayette, La., a state voting next week. “We are campaigning everywhere there are delegates because we are going to win this nomination before the convention.” Unbowed by two third-place finishes, Romney noted his strong lead in the delegate race after Tuesday night’s four contests. Romney won the Hawaii caucuses and all nine delegates up for grabs in American Samoa’s caucuses. “I am pleased that we will be increasing our delegate count in a very substantial way after tonight,” he said in a statement. Earlier, Romney told CNN that Santorum was “at the desperate end of his campaign.” Santorum’s two Southern wins gain him little or no ground in the delegate count, despite their symbolic weight coming after his victories last week in Tennessee and Oklahoma. The race now turns to caucuses Saturday in Missouri, where Santorum and Romney already have invested substantial time, and Puerto Meeting From Page 1 ing that he will continue his duties of Athletic Facilities Care for the remainder of his current contract which is the end of this school year. “I have given this decision many, many hours of thought as it is not one I have reached easily,” he said in his letter of resignation. “I hope to continue to be involved with the athletic programs and plan to continue to be supportive of all Meigs High School athletics,” he added. The Board approved the Internet Access Service Agreement with the Southeastern Ohio Voluntary Education Cooperative for the period, July 1, 2013 to June 30, 2017, on recommendation of Matt Simpson, dis- cal curators of the material which is being organized into a book by Professor Stephan Bullard and student Bridget Gromek, both of the University of Hartford in Hartford, CT.

Though the community has responded to the call of submitting photos of the old bridge, including a rare one showing it under construc- arguing it was time for the party to gather behind him and begin the general election fight against President Barack Obama. Instead, Romney now faces a resurgent Santorum and he is without the overwhelming financial advantage he boasted throughout the early states. Romney’s campaign trimmed some spending in recent weeks as he was forced to spend more time campaigning and less time fundraising. Still, he’s got more delegates than his rivals combined. Santorum’s victories Tuesday were worth at least 35 delegates, but Romney won at least 41. Gingrich won at least 24, while Ron Paul picked up at least one. The delegate split underscored the difficulty Romney’s rivals face in overcoming his big lead. The partial allocation of delegates from Tuesday’s voting states left Romney with 495 in The Associated Press count, out of the 1,144 needed to win the nomination. Santorum had 252, Gingrich 131 and Paul 48. And while Santorum in particular challenges the mathematical projections, Romney is amassing delegates at a rate that puts him on track to clinch control of the nomination before the convention next summer. A senior Romney adviser, Jim Talent, said the campaign is where it needs to be. “We’re really running against the delegate totals more than any of the others,” Talent told CNN on Wednesday. Gingrich deputy campaign manager Vince Haley suggested the former House speaker was putting himself in position to compete at a brokered convention, saying Gingrich could “win a debate in this country over the course of the rest of this campaign.” It is rare for Alabama and Mississippi to play an important role in a Republican nominating campaign, but the 2012 race has gone on far longer than usual.

As for why photos of the armory are needed, it played an important role in recovery efforts and was also turned into a makeshift morgue for the victims. Submissions for the book will also be placed into the Silver Bridge collection at the River Museum which has become one of the most comprehensive collections of its kind on the tragedy. Fout said in addition to becoming a memorial for family members, the collection allows younger people of the area to get a feel for what happened and be educated on how to proceed with school assignments relating to the Silver Bridge.

Romney already is moving to dominate the airwaves in Illinois, which will offer a hefty 54 delegates in voting Tuesday. His campaign has put down almost $1 million for Illinois TV advertising, on top of $2.4 million spent there by a supportive super PAC. Santorum flew to San Juan fresh off his Southern victories for events over the next two days. Romney wasn’t slated to arrive in the U.S. territory until the end of the week, after spending two days in New York City raising money. Romney’s seemingly unassailable delegate lead left his opponents’ campaigns talking about less orthodox ways to stop him. John Brabender, senior strategist for the Santorum campaign, said many of the delegates weren’t bound and could still switch their votes to Santorum. Suggesting it’s time for Gingrich to make way, Brabender told CNN Wednesday morning that the message was going out to tea party and conservative voters: “Let’s make sure our voice is louder than the minority of the party who wants Mitt Romney.” Tuesday night’s results marked the continuation of a long, hard-fought Republican nomination fight and underscored Romney’s persistent weakness with conservatives, particularly in the GOP’s regional stronghold of the Deep South. Together, Santorum and Gingrich accounted for huge majorities of votes in Alabama and Mississippi, prompting Gingrich to crow: “The fact is, in both states, the conservative candidates got nearly 70 percent of the vote. If you’re the front-runner and you keep coming in third, you’re not much of a frontrunner.” Romney had been hoping for at least one Southern victory Tuesday that might have allowed him to start From Page 1 of Versailles, Ky. which will prepare the nomination papers.

Council again discussed the placement of signs at the 833, East Main Street intersection. The ordinance prohibiting such signs has not been located. The question was also asked as to who owns the property in question. Village Clerk Pam Haggy will be checking at the County Recorder’s office to confirm who has legal possession of the property. In other business, Council member Vic Young asked about the mobile home ordinance which was passed a few years ago, with concern to an older trailer being moved in the village. The ordinance was not available during the meeting, but will be looked for. The ordinance passed in May of 2010. A loan in the amount of $25,000 to pay Roses Excavating for work on the Liberty Lane slip was approved by a 5-1 vote with Council Member Ruth Spaun voting no. The loan will be advertised for banks to bid for the lowest interest rate. Painting of the trash cans throughout the village was addressed, with the mayor working with the Historical Society to determine a neutral color which would be appropriate to paint the trash cans.

PAUL, Minn. (AP) — Friendly arguments aren’t hard to find in a barbershop, but try cutting in on a hallowed symbol — that red, white and blue pole — and it may be time to hide the scissors. Steeped in history and symbolism, those iconic cylinders spinning on storefronts across America are an increasing source of friction between barbers and beauticians. Minnesota and Michigan are the latest fronts in a spreading legislative campaign to reserve the swirling poles for barbers. The proposals, which often include fines for offenders, are driving a new wedge in a trade where gender lines have long run deep. “The barber pole is the oldest sign in town besides the cross. It should not be displayed where there is not a licensed barber,” said Charles Kirkpatrick, of Arkansas, a barber since 1959 who keeps tabs on such legislation for the National Association of Barber Boards of America. For many, the only real difference between a barber and hairstylist is the clientele they serve. But barbers say the tools of their trade and unique services they provide make them different, and that laws are needed to prevent beauty parlors, salons and other establishments from passing themselves off as barbershops, including chain shops that bear the barber name and logo but don’t have a single licensed barber on site. Cosmetologists argue that haircuts are haircuts, and say the protective efforts are silly and chauvinist. “They’re still trying to hang onto the vestiges that say they’re special. I can cut a man’s hair. Why shouldn’t I be able to put a barber pole up?” said Jeanie Thompson, president of the Minnesota Salon and Spa Association and owner of a beauty parlor. “They’re making a mountain out of a molehill.” As the story goes, the red on the pole signifies blood, the white stands for bandages and the blue represents veins. The symbolism dates from a time when barbers also performed surgical duties from teeth extraction to bloodletting. They had rods, or poles, for patrons to grip to make veins easier to tap. Barbers often twisted rinsed yet still blood-stained cloths around those same poles before hanging them out to dry. As the role evolved, the painted striped poles — some spinning, some fixed — became as much of a barbershop hallmark as the ubiquitous jars of blue comb disinfectant and gel-heavy haircuts. Barbers and cosmetologists both deal in hair, but there are distinctions in the crafts. A barber — a term derived from the Latin word for beard — is uniquely permitted to offer shaves with a straight-edge razor and specially trained to use shears and clippers. Cosmetologists also cut and style hair. But unlike barbers, they usually provide manicures, pedicures and an array of spa-type services as well. Licensing requirements in the hair trade vary from state to state and by profession. In most cases, they depend on hundreds of hours of training and a yearly fee. At least 10 states have rules or laws that reserve the pole for barbers, most recently passed in Nebraska and Nevada. Alabama and North Carolina considered going that route in 2010, but their bills stalled. Ohio long ago outlawed the pole’s use by anyone but barbers. State inspectors find about a dozen violations a year, from salons to dog grooming shops. Howard Warner, executive director of the Ohio State Barber Board, said regulators can impose a $500 fine, but usually just order the pole be taken down. “We’re not out to beat anyone up or take their money,” Warner said. “Most of the time it’s done innocently.” The Minnesota bill breezed The Daily Sentinel Reader Services Correction Policy Our main concern in all stories is to be accurate.

It hasn’t yet set possible penalties for violators. Hair professionals in Minnesota have a history of discord. To save money during tough budget times, thenGov. Tim Pawlenty merged regulatory boards for barbers and cosmetologists in 2004. Years of infighting followed about which industry’s interests got more attention. In 2009, the two were split into separate entities again. Republican Rep. Bob Gunther, the bill’s sponsor, said he didn’t want to open those old wounds but he understands why barbers are so determined to get a barber pole monopoly. “It’s been a centuries-long, recognizable symbol of a barber and only a barber,” Gunther said. In the St. Paul suburb of Rosemount, a barber pole sits outside the Cahill Salon & Barber Parlor, where husband and wife owners Joel and Lisa Martin share space but not an opinion on the legislation. On one side is Joel Martin’s “Man Cave,” where a pool table, pinball machine and satellite TVs fill out a macho décor. On the other, Lisa Martin’s clients can shop from carefully organized shelves of hair products and wait on white leather couches. Lisa Martin said anyone who cuts hair should be able to display the pole, and she can’t understand why it has the attention of state lawmakers. “There’s other things out there they should be more worried about in our industry other than who has a barber pole outside their business for advertising,” she said, ticking off sanitary conditions, for one. To Joel Martin, it’s about truth in advertising. “A lot of men will not come into a shop that just says salon because they are looking for someone who has barbering experience,” he said. “It tells people driving by that that’s what they can get here.” Dear Editor, To each of the 293 residents of Middleport who voted FOR the 2 mill Police Protection Levy, I extend my heartiest and sincerest thank you.

The report, compiled and made public for the first time by the department’s civil rights arm, shows that 70 percent of students subjected to the techniques have disabilities. There are no current federal standards on the use of the techniques in schools. The American Association of School Administrators says they are a last resort in protecting students and faculty from physical harm and keeping some children with behavioral problems in schools who might otherwise go into residential institutions. Advocates for the disabled say the use of seclusion and restraint is too accepted in schools and has led to abuse. They want Congress or the department to help curtail the practice. They point to news reports and a Government Accountability Office study in 2009 illustrating cases of children as young as preschool age who were ducttaped to chairs and locked alone for hours. That report by Congress’ investigative and auditing arm did not determine whether these types of allegations were widespread, but investigators did find “hundreds of cases of alleged abuse and death related to the use of these methods on schoolchildren during the past two decades.” In one recent case, the mother of a Kentucky boy with autism said that when she went to her son’s school, she found him stuffed in a canvas duffel bag in the hallway. Connecticut lawmakers are considering a bill that would require the state to report how often special education students are isolated because of emotional outbursts. That follows incidents in Middletown, Conn., where special education students were allegedly isolated in “scream rooms” during outbursts. Sasha Pudelski, government affairs manager at the school administrators association, said except in rare cases, school workers use seclusion and re- Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

She said federal action isn’t appropriate because the issue should be addressed at the local and state level, which is happening. “We would never defend the heinous practices that are sometimes highlighted,” Pudelski said. The department’s data from the 20092010 school year showed tens of thousands of instances in which the techniques were reportedly used. It also showed that that while black students represent 21 percent of students with disabilities, they account for 44 percent of students with disabilities who are subjected to mechanical restraints. It’s unclear the circumstances or exact methods used in the cases. People on both sides of the debate said the new numbers don’t show a complete picture. Because they are based on a survey that relied on self-reporting in about 85 percent of schools, activists said there are likely many more cases. Pudelski said it was the first time that schools were asked to compile the statistics, so there was confusion about how to count some situations, and therefore probably over-reporting. Reece L. Peterson, a special education professor at the University of Nebraska who has testified before Congress on the topic, said there’s a consensus among special educators about using seclusion and restraint only in emergencies where there’s a threat of someone getting hurt. Based on the department’s new numbers, Peterson said, “there is some evidence that these things are being used on a basis more widely than simply these kind of emergency situations.” Reports of such incidents should be “minuscule,” said Maureen Fitzgerald, director of disability rights at the Arc, which advocates for people with disabilities. Fitzgerald said when abuses occur, it’s usually because workers aren’t properly trained. Daren Briscoe, an Education Department spokesman, said the new data will be an “invaluable tool to illuminate trouble spots, highlight best practices, and pinpoint areas where teacher and principal training may be appropriate.” The Daily Sentinel Ohio Valley Publishing Co. 111 Court Street Pomeroy, Ohio Phone (740) 992-2156 Fax (740) 992-2157 www.mydailysentinel.com Sammy M.

The RedStorm rallied for a dramatic 4-3 victory in the opener, before recording a 4-0 triumph in game two to improve their overall season mark to 12-9. mdssports@heartlandpublications.com In game one, junior Vince Perry clubbed a two-out, two-run walkoff home run in the bottom of the seventh inning to give Rio the win. St. Francis scored single runs in the first, fourth and sixth innings to take a 3-0 lead, while Cougars’ starter Chris Howell was busy silencing the RedStorm offense. Rio failed to have a baserunner until junior Kyle Perez reached on a wild pitch while striking out to lead off the fourth inning and didn’t have a hit until freshman Grant Tamane’s runscoring single with two outs in the sixth. Tamane’s hit scored Perez, who had reached on a twoout error before stealing second base. Senior Brian Suerdick scored Tamane, who had advanced into scoring position on the throw home, with a single moments later to make it 3-2. That’s how things stayed until the Rio’s dramatic gamewinning rally in the seventh. Howell retired the first two batters routinely before freshman Justin Cavender kept the RedStorm alive with a double to left. Perry followed with his game-winning blast, clubbing a 1-0 pitch over the fence in left. Junior Mark Parent was the winning pitcher after coming on to work the top half of the seventh inning. Junior starter Ryan Robertson threw the ball well in his own right, scattering six hits and walk over six innings, while allowing just two earned runs. Jerrid Rydell had three hits, including two doubles, and Tom Degitz went 2-for-3 in a losing cause for the Cougars. In the nightcap, Rio Grande jumped to a 2-0 first inning lead thanks to a twoout opposite field home run to left by junior Shane Spies and never looked back. The RedStorm added a run in the fourth when Spies led off with a single, moved to third on a groundout and a wild pitch and rode home on a two-out single by Perry. The final marker came in the sixth when sophomore Cameron Norman and freshman Tyler Donaldson pulled off a one-out double steal of home and second base, respectively. Rio junior starter Eric Ford worked three scoreless innings in his return to the mound before giving way to sophomore Dylan Perego and freshman Landon Hutchison. Perego went three innings to earn the win, while Hutchison worked the final inning. The duo did not allow a hit over the final four frames. Spies finished 3-for-3 with two runs scored and two RBIs for the RedStorm. David Yoder had two of the three hits for St. Francis (4-10), while Rydell started and suffered the loss. Rio Grande was scheduled to face Indiana Tech in a nineinning game on Monday.

URG softball splits with Hillsdale Randy Payton Special to OVP RIO GRANDE, Ohio — The University of Rio Grande softball team headed south for Myrtle Beach, S.C. on Sunday evening with momentum on their side after winning three of four weekend contests at Rio Softball Park. The RedStorm opened the home portion of their 2012 schedule - and their Mid-South Conference slate - with a doubleheader sweep of the University of Pikeville on Saturday by scores of 1-0 in 10 innings and 10-4, before dividing a twinbill with Hillsdale College on Sunday before their departure. Hillsdale won the opening game, 5-2, before Rio rebounded to post an 8-5 win in the nightcap. The RedStorm finished the weekend with an overall record of 4-2 and a 2-0 mark in league play. Saturday’s opening game with Pikeville went to the International Tie-Breaker rule after the two teams battled to a scoreless tie through nine innings. The rule puts the batter who made the final out of the previous inning at second base to start the 10th - and any subsequent innings - in an effort to promote a quick resolution to the deadlock. After Rio senior starter Anna Smith retired the Bears without incident in the top of the 10th, the RedStorm began their half of the frame with senior Nicole Sargent at second. Freshman Haley Gwin moved to Sargent to third with a groundout, before freshman Maegen Pendleton drew a walk from Pikeville starter Kayla Morgan and advanced to second on defensive indifference.

(AP) — For the Michigan Wolverines, “Beat Ohio” is about to take on an entirely different meaning. The Wolverines are the No. 4 seed in the Midwest Regional and will take on the Ohio Bobcats of the MidAmerican Conference on Friday in Nashville, Tenn. Michigan football coach Brady Hoke has a habit of referring to Ohio State only by the name “Ohio” and Wolverines fans have caught on recently, chanting “Beat Ohio” in reference to their hated rival. Now Michigan will actually face Ohio. “We’re playing Ohio University now,” Michigan coach John Beilein said. “It’s a great university down in Athens, Ohio.” Michigan is 3-0 against Ohio but hasn’t faced the school since 1971. The teams met in the NCAA tournament in 1964, with Michigan winning 69-57 to advance to the Final Four. Ohio (27-7) won the MAC tournament this season, beating Akron 6463 in the final. The Bobcats lost by only five points at Louisville in November. D.J. Cooper, their 5-foot-11 guard, is their leading scorer at 14.6 points per game. Michigan will counter with its own 5-foot-11 guard, Trey Burke, who has been terrific throughout his freshman season but went 1-of-11 from the field and had eight turnovers in Michigan’s 77-55 loss to Ohio State in the semifinals of the Big Ten tournament Saturday. This is the highest seed for the Wolverines in the NCAA tournament since they were a No. 3 in 1998. “To be a four seed, that’s huge. That’s one of the top 16 teams in the country,” senior Zack Novak said. “I think it just speaks to the type of season that we had, and I like the position that we’re in.” Michigan made the NCAA tournament last season too, routing Tennessee in its first game before losing 73-71 to Duke. The Wolverines lost point guard Darius Morris to the NBA, but Burke stepped in and the team improved, winning a share of the school’s first Big Ten regularseason title since 1986. This is Michigan’s third NCAA tournament appearance in four years. “I think when you’re going through it as a player having gone through a time when you don’t see your name get up there you don’t care where you’re at,” Novak said. “You just want to see ‘MICHIGAN’ flash up on the board.” As overmatched as Michigan looked against the Buckeyes, the Wolverines have bounced back after every defeat this season. In fact, they haven’t lost two games in a row since a six-game skid in January 2011. The goal is no longer simply to reach the tournament, but to make a run. The Michigan-Ohio winner will take on one of three teams in the next round No. 5 seed Temple, No. 12 seed California or No. 12 seed South Florida. Michigan hasn’t been to the round of 16 since reaching the national quarterfinals in 1994. “It would be very good for us for our team and our program,” guard Tim Hardaway Jr. said. “Coming off a disappointing loss (Saturday) against Ohio, I think this team has a very great sense of urgency.” That would be the other Ohio, not the one Michigan is about to play. As the Wolverines prepare for a postseason matchup straight out of Abbott & Costello’s playbook, Beilein says his approach won’t change even though Michigan’s seed is higher than it was the last two times he took the Wolverines to the tournament. In 2009 and 2011, Michigan’s at-large hopes were in doubt until the pairings were announced. This year the Wolverines were a shoe-in but there was still plenty to be excited about. “You just don’t get over the moment when you see your name up there, and then the suspense of who you’re going to play, and then who you’d play if you’re fortunate enough to advance,” Beilein said. “Our kids are all thrilled.” �Thursday, March 15, 2012 SHERIFFʼS SALE, CASE NO. 11 CV 117, FARMERS BANK AND SAVINGS COMPANY, PLAINTIFF, VS.

From Page 6 Freshman Jessi Robinson then followed with a single to left to plate Sargent with the game-winning run. Each team managed just five hits. Gwin had two for Rio, while Shamy Williams and Hannah Vinson had two each for Pikeville. Smith earned the win for the RedStorm, allowing just one walk and striking out a career-high 16. Morgan issued just three walks and fanned seven as the hard-luck loser for the Bears. In game two, Rio struck for five runs in the third inning to snap a 3-3 tie and never looked back. Sargent had a two-run double in the third inning uprising, while Gwin and junior Kaitie Stewart both had runscoring doubles and senior starting pitcher Allison Mills added an RBI single. The RedStorm banged out 12 hits in the victory, including two each by Smith, Stewart, Sargent, junior Jaymie Rector and junior Katie Fuller. Both of Stewart’s hits were doubles, while Rector, Fuller and Smith also added two-base hits. Sargent drove in three runs, with Smith and Stewart finishing with two RBI each. Mills got the win, allowing eight hits and just two earned runs in a complete game effort. Pikeville (5-5, 0-2) got two hits and two RBI from Morgan. Caitlin Conley started and took the loss for the Bears. On Sunday, visiting Hillsdale (Mich.) College used a three-run fifth inning to fuel a 5-2 win in the first game of the doubleheader. Rio scored twice in the sixth inning to slice a 4-0 deficit in half, but the Char- gers got one of the runs back in the seventh and held on. Hillsdale starter Laura Homan limited the RedStorm to just six singles - three by junior Kaylee Walk - and walked two, while striking out nine and allowing just one earned run. She also had a pair of doubles and two RBI at the plate to help her own cause. Kate Hoop also had two hits and two RBI for the Chargers, while Miriam McKay was 2-for-4 and drove in a run. Smith suffered the loss for Rio, allowing 10 hits and a pair of walks in a complete game effort. Only two of the five runs she allowed were earned. Rio Grande avoided a sweep by erasing a 4-0 deficit in game two with seven fifth inning runs and going on to post an 8-5 triumph. Sargent delivered a two-run, pinch-hit single to highlight the big in- ning and send the RedStorm in front to stay. Smith had three of Rio’s 11 hits, including a double in the fifth and a solo home run in the sixth. Robinson and Gwin added two hits each, while Walk contributed a double. Mills allowed 14 hits and all five runs - four of which were earned - but earned her third win in as many decisions. Homan had three of Hillsdale’s 14 hits, while Hoop, Katie Ardrey, Mary Depner and Allison Hetrick all had two hits each. Ardrey, who was also the starting and losing pitcher for the Chargers (1-4), also had two runs batted in at the plate. Rio Grande was scheduled to face Drew (NJ) University and Ursuline College as part of the Fastpitch Dreams Spring Classic, Monday morning, in Myrtle Beach. �Thursday, March 15, 2012 Thursday , March 15, 2012 BLONDIE BEETLE BAILEY FUNKY WINKERBEAN HAGAR THE HORRIBLE HI & LOIS www.mydailysentinel.com ComiCs/EntErtainmEnt Dean Young/Denis Lebrun Mort Walker Today’s Answers Tom Batiuk Chris Browne Brian and Greg Walker THE LOCKHORNS MUTTS The Daily Sentinel • Page 9 William Hoest Patrick McDonnell Jacquelene Bigar’s Horoscope zITS THE FAMILY CIRCUS Bil Keane DENNIS THE MENACE Hank Ketchum Jerry Scott and Jim Borgman CONCEPTIS SUDOKU by Dave Green HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Thursday, March 15, 2012: This year you open up to a different attitude at work and/or in your community.

If you are attached, choose to share more of your life with your sweetie. You will become a happier couple. CAPRICORN is a true friend. 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 You know that appearance counts. Today, it counts even more than you think. You have a directness that lets others know you mean business. They step back accordingly. Consider cramming in more than one day’s worth of plans, if possible. The Force is with you. Tonight: To the wee hours. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHHHH You can only share some of your present flights of fancy with certain people. Others might be irritated that you are not more present in the moment. Confusion surrounds plans and creates a new possibility. Just keep confirming messages and ideas. Tonight: Try the unusual. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHHH Work with a key person directly. This person asks more from you than many others do. Remain confident. Your energy mixed with his or her diligence creates quite the combination, and the end results will show it. Work through a disagreement. Tonight: Togetherness works. CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHH Defer to others, knowing full well when enough is enough. Your sense of humor comes through when dealing with a difficult roommate or family member. Just don’t let this person know you have the giggles. Focus on the long term. Tonight: Plan the weekend, and maybe start it early. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHH Your relaxed pace might need to be tweaked if you want to clear your to-do list. You sense a profound difference in what is going on right now with others. The unexpected makes your day more interesting. Greet sudden change with a smile. Tonight: Clear out as many errands as possible. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHHH Your imagination encourages you down a new trail and/or adds a new dimension to a present project or emotional situation. A key person can be reactive. You might think you are used to this behavior by now, but you aren’t. Resist verbalizing your opinions immediately. Tonight: Get into weekend mode a little early. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHHH Your mind is on a parent or domestic matter. A significant other could be a tad bit reactive. Think in terms of gains. Perhaps you have been sitting on a feeling for too long. Choose a more appropriate time to express any pent-up emotions. Tonight: Homeward bound. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHHHH Confusion could be an issue with someone at a distance or within an academic environment. Your attempt to gain clarity might simply alert this person to the issue. A meeting remains pivotal. Tonight: Return calls. Start thinking “weekend.” SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHH Be sensitive to your expenses and needs. Your creativity flows, and you can visualize a change. Staying grounded takes talent, but you can do it, especially if you keep an eye on your finances. You want to make good choices. Be willing to put in extra hours. Tonight: Your treat. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHHH Despite momentary shocks and changes, you will head in the right direction, sure of yourself. You are able to integrate new information and situations immediately. Reach out for someone at a distance or an expert for more feedback. Tonight: Full steam ahead. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHH Listen to your inner voice. You might see that a course is carved out in front of you, yet your intuition tells you to go in another direction. Follow that voice. You will revise a judgment or two because of your observations. Count on your flexibility. Tonight: Head home. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHHH Follow through with a meeting. In this situation, you become clearer about which direction to go. You have the support of others. Know what it is you need to do, though you might not feel that you are quite ready. Tonight: Where people are.

Cooke, a senior from South Charleston, Ohio, plated freshmen Grant Tamane and Tyler Donaldson with the go-ahead runs. Junior Vince Perry added another run-scoring single moments later to plate a final insurance run. The RedStorm improved to 3-0 on their Spring Break trip to the Sunshine State, upping their overall mark to 13-9. Indiana Tech, which received votes in the NAIA preseason top 25, slipped to 11-7 with the loss. Junior Kyle Perez opened the Rio eight with a single to center off of Tech reliever Lucas McDaniel, who was promptly lifted in favor of Bryan Wachtel. Tamane forced Perez at second with a fielder’s choice grounder to shortstop, before senior Brian Suerdick reached on an error and junior Shane Spies drew a walk to load the bases. Kyle Nolen came on to strike out freshman Tim Easterling before Cooke delivered his go-ahead hit, plating Tamane and Donaldson, who was running for Suerdick. Perry’s hit brought home Spies. Senior Ryan Chapman came on to get the final two outs of the eighth inning, escaping a basesloaded jam in the process, before retiring side in order in the ninth to earn a save. Rio took a 3-0 lead in the first inning against Tech starter Aaron Lewellyn when Tamane and Suerdick had consecutive one-out singles and Spies followed with a mammoth home run to right, his sixth of the season. The Warriors came back to take a 4-3 lead in the second against Rio se- nior starter Ben Schlater, although only two of the runs were earned. Jeff King had a two-run single, while the other two runs scored when freshman Justin Cavender errored Eric Wald’s two-out flyball to left. The Redstorm tied the game in the sixth on backto-back one-out singles by Suerdick and Spies and a double steal of home and second, respectively, by Suerdick and sophomore pinch-runner Cameron Norman. Freshman Donson Dearth, who took over for Schlater in the fourth inning, earned the win in relief. He allowed four hits over four scoreless innings. Tamane, Suerdick, Spies and Perez all had two hits in the win for Rio Grande. Andrew Garcia, Craig Herrmann and Wald all had two hits in the loss for Indiana Tech, while Wachtel suffered the loss on the mound. The two teams meet again on Tuesday. First pitch is set for 11 a.m. Miami U in Ohio trademarks ‘Cradle of Coaches’ OXFORD, Ohio (AP) — The “Cradle of Coaches” title revered by the Miami University football program for more than half a century has been trademarked by the southwest Ohio school. The university on Monday said the nickname was approved by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office last month, capping a two-year effort by school attorneys. The university says sports information director Bob Kurz developed the phrase in 1959. Among others, the school has spawned Army coach Red Blaik; Louisiana State’s Paul Dietzel; Notre Dame’s Ara Parseghian; Michigan’s Bo Schembechler; the Baltimore Colts’ Weeb Ewbank and Cleveland’s Paul Brown. A university lawyer says the school now owns right to control use of the trademark in the U.S. and could receive damages if it’s infringed. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
