POMEROY — Alex A.
Craig, 26, of Racine, pleaded guilty to three counts of
aggravated robbery in connection with the robbery of
three area gas station in the
spring.
Meigs County Common
Pleas Court Judge Christpher Tenoglia accepted the
guilty plea and sentenced
Craig on the first count.
Tenoglia ordered a presentencing investigation to
be completed prior to sentencing on counts two and
three. Sentencing on those
counts will take place at 1
p.m. on Nov. 28.
The original indictment
included three counts of aggravated robbery, two with
gun specifications and two
counts of kidnapping. Per
the plea agreement, the two
counts of kidnapping were
dropped.
The three counts of aggravated robbery are first
degree felonies and carry
a maximum sentence of
11 years and a maximum
fine of $20,000. Craig
could also be ordered to
pay restitution.
According to the plea
agreement read by Prosecutor Colleen Williams,
the state will recommend
a sentence of 30 years, and
would not oppose judicial
release after 24 years.
Craig pleaded guilty to
the armed robbery of the
TNT Pitstop in Syracuse on
March 30, the TNT Pitstop
in Chester on April 2, and
the 124 Mart near Pomeroy
on April 10.
The aggravated robbery
charges from the robberies
at the Chester TNT Pitstop
and 124 Mart both carry
a gun specification. The
specification adds a mandatory one-year sentence to
be served consecutively to
any other sentence.
The string of recent
armed robberies in the area
began on March 26 in Mason, W.Va., with the robbery
of the Par Mar Convenience
Store on Second Street. In
the following two weeks,
the TNT Pitstop in Syracuse, the TNT Pitstop in
Chester, the J-Mart in Millwood, W.Va., and the 124
Mart near Pomeroy, were
also robbed at gun point.
Craig has not been
charged in connection with
either of the two robberies in West Virginia. At the
time of his arrest in April,
Craig reportedly admitted
to guilt in all five robberies
when questioned by Meigs

Making the Dream a Reality
Recognizing those who made the stadium possible
ROCKSPRINGS — It was an historical night for the Meigs football community on Friday evening as Holzer
Field at Farmers Bank Stadium was host to the first regular season football game.
Members of the Meigs Local Enrichment Foundation along with several donors were recognized throughout
the evening for their contributions which made the stadium possible.
From the press box to the track, many portions of the facility have been named to honor many who have contributed to the stadium.
Sarah Hawley | The Daily Sentinel
The press box, which over looks the new Meigs football
field was named in memory of the late Bob Wingett. Wingett was a longtime member of the Ohio Valley Publishing
Company family, retiring as publisher in 1999.

In between the first and second quarters of Friday’s opening
game at Holzer Field at Farmers Bank Stadium several donors and Meigs Local Enrichment Foundation members were
recognized for their contributions toward the new stadium.
No known cases of West Nile in Meigs
Health Department advises on ways to prevent illness
Steve Swatzel
Special to the Sentinel
MEIGS COUNTY — In
the United States the number of cases of the mosquito-borne disease, the West
Nile Virus has risen dramatically.
The Center for Diesease
Control reported there
have been over 1,100 documented human cases in the
month of August with the
most occurring in Texas.
According to Ohio Department of Health, there
have been 35 documented
human cases this year in
Ohio as of Aug. 23. There
has been no confirmed
cases reported in Meigs
County.
The virus rarely causes
symptoms in infected people. Most people never feel
sick and the body fights off
the illness within a week.
The onset of symptoms after being bitten by an infected mosquito may appear
sometime between three
and 14 days. Some may
experience mild symptoms
such as fever, headache,
body aches, nausea, vomiting, and sometimes swollen
lymph glands or a skin rash
on the chest, stomach and
back.
Only one in 150 people
experience the severe symptoms of the high fever, headache, neck stiffness, stupor,
disorientation, coma, tremors, convulsions, muscle
weakness, vision loss,
numbness and paralysis.
You should talk with your
health care provider if you
have symptoms of the West
Nile virus.
The best protection
against this virus is to elimi-
nate mosquito breeding areas around your home. Any
standing water is a perfect
environment for mosquitos.
Old tires, aluminum cans,
buckets, neglected bird
baths and swimming pools,
and clogged rain gutters are
only a few places around a
home that will hold water
long enough to breed hundreds of mosquitos.
For additional protection
you may also want to use
a mosquito repellant when
outside during the evening
hours. The most effective
repellant contains the active ingredient diethyl
toluamide (DEET). Always
read and follow the directions for the safe use of this
product.
The resurgence of the
West Nile virus may be due
the mild winter, early spring
or warmer summer temper-
atures. The illness has been
under surveillance since
2000, when first identified
in the US. The number of
human cases appeared to
have peaked in Ohio during
the summer of 2002. Since
then the average number of
cases have been around 24
per year.
With the rise in the number of cases in the month of
August the Meigs County
Health Department is asking everyone to be vigilant
about eliminating standing
water around your home
and to protect yourself from
biting mosquitos by covering exposed skin or with
the use a repellant.
Steve Swatzel is a Registered Sanitarian with the Meigs County Health
Department.
MEIGS COUNTY — Last
week, President Obama declared Meigs County eligible for the Public Assistance
Grant Program.
As a result of this declaration, Ohio Emergency Management Agency (EMA)
has scheduled Applicant’s
briefings.
The purpose of these
briefings is to apply to the
Public Assistance Program
for the damage caused by
the high winds on June 29
and July 2, and get an overview of the process.
Meigs County sustained
more the $550,000 in damages. The briefings should
take no longer than an hour.
Ohio EMA will not be conducting briefings in all declared counties.
Meigs County EMA Director Bob Byer said, “with
the declaration, we hope to
receive 75 percent of the
cost of damage.” Byer said
the damage to public property was approximately
$550,900.
Briefing will take place at
1 p.m. on Sept. 4 in Gallia
County; 10 a.m. on Sept. 5
in Meigs and Jackson counties; 1 p.m. on Sept. 5 in
Athens and Hocking counties; 10 a.m. on Sept. 6 in

Potential applicants can
attend any briefing of their
choosing.
The following information should assist you and
potential applicants in preparing for the briefing:
Local Host Counties:
Meigs County briefings will
be held in the courthouse
annex basement area. The
courthouse annex is located
behind the Holzer Clinic at
117 East Memorial Drive in
Pomeroy, Ohio.
All local governments,
schools and universities
and Private Non-Profit Organizations (PNPs) who
may have incurred damages
and costs associated with
the severe storms and high
winds from June 29 through
July 2, 2012, are invited.
Remember if your county
is not hosting a briefing,
your jurisdictions will need
to travel to any briefing of
their choosing. Ohio EMA
will provide the briefing locations to the Rural Electric
Cooperatives but they are
welcome at any briefings.
If possible, please have

from ODOT for walkway
Staff Report
mdsnews@mydailysentinel.com
SYRACUSE — The Village of Syracuse has been
awarded a grant for the
construction of a bikepath/
pedistrian walkway in the
village.
Syracuse Mayor Eric
Cunningham was recently
notified that the Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT) has awarded
the Village of Syracuse
$125,523 for the project.
According to Grants Administrator Fred Hoffman,
the walkway will be seven
foot wide and constructed

would begin at the entrance
to the Syracuse Municipal
Park (Bridgeman Street)
and follow Ohio 124 for approximately seven-tenths
of a mile to the plaza area
where the bank, post office
and convenience store are
located. This portion of the
project will all be located on
the state highway right-ofway.
The project will also include a walkway around
the Municipal Park and
join into the walkway along
Ohio 124. The total length
of the project will be approximately 1.2 miles.
The project was also
awarded $35,000 in Community Development Block
Grant (CDBG) funds by the
Meigs County Commissioners.
The Village of Syracuse
is responsible for the engineering and design costs.
Construction of the project
will begin in July 2013 and
should be completed soon
thereafter.
Hoffman stated that
ODOT District 10 had been
very active in support of the
project and especially Debra
Fought, Planning and Engineering Administrator of
District 10.

Children graduate from PVH camp
POINT
PLEASANT,
W.Va. — The Fifth Annual
Speech and Sensory Camp
at Pleasant Valley Hospital
recently graduated eight
campers.
Graduating from the
camp were the following
kids: Landon Wood, Levi
Cicoff, Tryston Taylor,
Bryson Curfman, Gabe
Hudnall, Ben McCune,
Jaydon Romines, and Lucas Priddy. In addition to
graduations from the camp,
Cicoff, Taylor, and Curfman also received a trophy
for participating in all five
years of camp.
The Speech and Sensory
Camp is a four week program designed for children
ages 3 through 12 who need
special assistance in everyday activities and communication.
The camp was directed
by Heather Cundiff, Speech
Therapist (SLP), and Jennifer Brown, Occupational
Therapist (OTR/L). The
goals of the camp were vocabulary development, articulation skills, attention
and registration to task,
peer socialization, sensory
integration, fine and gross
motor development, written language development/
literacy and handwriting.
Each of the four weeks
held a specific theme that
revolved around having “An
Olympic Summer.”
“My favorite week this
year was closing ceremonies,” Brown said. “I enjoyed seeing the improvement all the campers made.
Our youngest campers
made great strides in transitioning and separation,
while our oldest campers
overcame sensory obstacles. If you ask most of the
campers, however, winter
Olympics was their favorite
week.”
A day in the life of a
camper would entail color-
ing, journaling, exercising
including games and the
parachute, circle language
time with songs, vocabulary,
and sound development,
language literacy including
rhyming words, counting
syllables, and phoning segmenting, and diving into
groups for “centers” including a sensory table, games,
writing, and art, and finally
a snack.
“We had a fun summer
with the kids this year,”
Cundiff said. “Teaching
them about the Olympics
and incorporating games
throughout each week made
the camp exciting and fun
for both the campers and
the adults. All the children
won medals throughout the
summer for working as a
team and for taking turns
with their friends. All the
kids showed great progress
over the summer.”

Center and ask for Jennifer

AP-GfK poll: Raise taxes to save Social Security
Jennifer Agiesta
Stephen Ohlemacher,
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — Most
Americans say go ahead and
raise taxes if it will save Social
Security benefits for future generations. And raise the retirement age, if you have to.
Both options are preferable to
cutting monthly benefits, even
for people who are years away
from applying for them.
Those are the findings of a
new Associated Press-GfK poll
on public attitudes toward the
nation’s largest federal program.
Social Security is facing serious long-term financial problems. When given a choice on
how to fix them, 53 percent of
adults said they would rather
raise taxes than cut benefits for
future generations, according
to the poll. Just 36 percent said
they would cut benefits instead.
The results were similar when
people were asked whether they
would rather raise the retirement
age or cut monthly payments for
future generations — 53 percent
said they would raise the retirement age, while 35 percent said
they would cut monthly payments.
“Right now, it seems like we’re
taxed so much, but if that would
be the only way to go, I guess I’d
have to be for it to preserve it,”
said Marge Youngs, a 77-year-old
widow from Toledo, Ohio. “It’s
extremely important to me. It’s
most of my income.”
Social Security is being hit
by a wave of millions of retiring baby boomers, leaving relatively fewer workers to pay into
the system. The trustees who
oversee the massive retirement
and disability program say Social Security’s trust funds will
run out of money in 2033. At
that point, Social Security will
only collect enough tax revenue
to pay 75 percent of benefits,

unless Congress acts.
Lawmakers from both political
parties say there is a good chance
Congress will address Social Security in the next year or two
— if the White House takes the
lead. Yet so far, Social Security
has not played a big role in the
presidential election.
In previous polls, Democrats
have typically scored better than
Republicans on handling Social
Security. But the AP-GfK poll
shows Americans are closely divided on which presidential candidate they trust to handle the
issue.
Forty-seven percent said they
trust President Barack Obama to
do a better job on Social Security,
and 44 percent said they trust his
Republican opponent, Mitt Romney. The difference is within the
poll’s margin of sampling error.
Charles McSwain, 69, of
Philadelphia, said he trusts
Obama because he thinks the
president is more likely to stick
up for the middle class.
“He at least gives the appearance of trying to help people that
aren’t super rich, and Romney
doesn’t,” said McSwain, who
works part time selling real estate.
But Jeff Victory of Nashville,
Tenn., worries that Obama
doesn’t have the stomach to cut
benefits to help rein in the program.
“Barack has already shown he’s
going to give anything free out to
everyone he possibly can, so I’m
going to have to go with Romney on that one,” said Victory, a
26-year-old electrician.
Romney has said he favors
gradually increasing the retirement age, but he opposes tax
increases to shore up Social Security. For future generations,
Romney would slow the growth
of benefits “for those with higher
incomes.”
Obama hasn’t laid out a detailed plan for addressing Social
Congress shall make no law

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

Security. But during the 2008
campaign, he called for applying
the Social Security payroll tax to
wages above $250,000. It is now
limited to wages below $110,100,
a level that increases with inflation.
Obama says any changes to
Social Security should be done
“without putting at risk current
retirees, the most vulnerable or
people with disabilities, without
slashing benefits for future generations and without subjecting
Americans’ guaranteed retirement income to the whims of the
stock market.”
Romney’s running mate, Rep.
Paul Ryan of Wisconsin, has been
a leading proponent in Congress
of allowing workers to divert a
portion of their Social Security
taxes into personal investment
accounts. Romney has not fully
embraced the idea, but Democrats are using it to accuse Republicans of trying to privatize
Social Security.

Ohio State — NCAA investigations and penalties, departures, suspensions and
a woeful 6-7 season. He figured that the proud players
still in the program took all
of those hits personally.
“That’s their legacy,”
Meyer said Monday as the
Buckeyes began a week of
prep for Saturday’s opener
against Miami (Ohio).
“They’re going to be known
as that group.”
Those still around feel as
if they’ve been incorrectly
labeled as bad actors, bad
football players and bad
people. Rather than discarding all the negativity from
2011, Meyer has used it as
emotional leverage.
“I’ll utilize any form of
motivation I can to get guys
angry because I love coach-
ing angry teams,” said Meyer, who won two national
championships at Florida.
“There’s nothing like it.
There’s nothing like a group
of kids that really want to
prove someone wrong or
prove something to someone. That’s every coach’s
dream as opposed to the fat
cat that sits back and (says),
‘Hey, we’re good. Don’t worry about it.’”
The current Buckeyes
certainly don’t feel like fat
cats. They come into the
season riding a four-game
losing skid. Their seven
losses last season were the
most for the program since
just before the turn of the
century — the 20th century
— in 1897. The players who
survived that dreadful year
of negativity and snarky
one-liners about tattoos,
$200 stuffed into envelopes
and high-paying summer
jobs want to put all of that
behind them.
But their coach isn’t
above reminding them.
“I mean, my job is to motivate 100 18-year-olds,”
Meyer said, a grin playing
at the corners or his mouth.
“If I see a window opening
to go (tick) someone off to
get them to go a little harder
today, I’ve been known to

No.4 RedStorm upset in season opener
Randy Payton
Special to OVP
CHICAGO - Saint Xavier University’s Luis Medina scored on a breakaway goal with just over 13 minutes
remaining, lifting the 25th-ranked
Cougars to a 1-0 win over No. 4 ranked
Rio Grande, Friday night, in the men’s
soccer season opener for both schools
at Bruce R. Deaton Memorial Field.
St. Xavier, which reached the round
of 16 in the NAIA National Tournament last fall, managed just six shots
in the contest - only two of which were
on goal - but Medina’s was the only
one which found the back of the net.
His shot, which came off of a crossing
pass from teammate Kyle Breitenbach,
snuck past Rio senior net-minder Jack
Marchant at 76:55.
The RedStorm had nine shots on
goal and 24 shots overall, but could
not score on the Cougars’ junior keep-
er Kyle Held, who posted his eighth
career shutout.
Rio Grande got off six shots in the
final 11 minutes of the match, including one by senior forward Rafael Maccauro with 8:10 left to play, which
ricocheted off the post.

Rio men’s soccer rebounds from upset loss
Randy Payton
Special to OVP
CHICAGO — Maxi Viera’s goal just over eight
and a half minutes into
the match gave the University of Rio Grande a lead
it would never relinquish
and the RedStorm went on
to post a 3-1 win over host
Illinois Tech, Sunday afternoon, at rainy Stuart Field.
The win served as a
bounce-back effort for
fourth-ranked Rio Grande,
which suffered a 1-0 loss at
the hands of 25th-ranked St.
Xavier in its season opener
on Friday night.
Viera, a junior midfielder
from Montevideo, Uruguay,
found the net without the
aid of an assist with 36:29
remaining in the first half
and sophomore midfielder
Patricio Guerra added another unassisted marker
with 2:51 left before the
intermission to give the
RedStorm a 2-0 lead at the
intermission.
The Scarlet Hawks (1-1)
cut the early deficit in half
when Liam Barrett scored
off an assist from teammate
Bart Grabowski with just
under 20 minutes remaining in the match, but Rio
junior forward Orlando Zapata sealed the victory for
the RedStorm with an unassisted goal with 3:20 left in
the contest.
Rio Grande outshot its
host, 21-12, while the two
teams were whistled for
a combined 39 fouls—20
against the RedStorm and
19 against Tech.
Senior goal keeper Jack
Marchant recorded four
saves in the win for the RedStorm.
Tech keeper Edson Zagal
had five saves in a losing
cause.
Rio Grande returns to
action on Saturday, opening the home portion of
its regular season schedule
against Aquinas (Mich.)
College. Kickoff is set for 7
p.m. at Evan E. Davis Field.

Alston prepared to carry the load
The Associated Press
CHARLESTON, W.Va. — Running
back Shawne Alston loves to debate his
West Virginia teammates anyplace, anytime.
The senior, whose future plans include attending law school, won’t lose
the argument that the Mountaineers’
running game was a bit off in 2011, and
the bruising Alston hopes to change
that this year.
Alston will be a starter at one of two
running back spots for No. 11 West Vir-
ginia when it opens the season at home
Saturday against Marshall.
Known for his work in short-yardage
and goal-line situations, the 235-pound
Alston produced in other circumstances, too, including a solid performance in
the 70-33 Orange Bowl win over Clemson.
He hopes to boost a unit that ranked
92nd in the Bowl Subdivision at 123
yards per game.
“I think I’m going to do a good job
of changing a lot of minds and people’s
perceptions of me,” Alston said.
An unknown to coach Dana Holgorsen at the start of last season due to injury, Alston rebounded to lead the Mountaineers with 12 rushing touchdowns.
Alston “is probably one of the most
vocal guys that we have on the team
(and) possesses tremendous leadership
skills,” Holgorsen said Monday. “He’s
a senior, had a great camp. I’m looking
forward to getting him out there.”
The running game isn’t the mainstay
of West Virginia’s pass-happy offense
with the focus on quarterback Geno
Smith and several solid receivers.
Meyer
From Page 6
do that a little bit.”
Meyer is excited to get
going. He was born in Ohio
and grew up as a Buckeyes
fan, and began his coaching
career as a graduate assistant with the Buckeyes in
the 1980s. He says that the
school and football program
have always been close to
his heart, even as he chased
coaching
opportunities
elsewhere.
Others can’t believe he’s
at Ohio State, either.
Wide receiver Devin
Smith said he was shocked
when he heard Meyer had
been hired.
“He’s done tremendous
things at the schools he’s
been (at),” Smith said. “He’s
changed programs and he’s
on a journey right now to
change this program.”
When athletic director
Gene Smith beckoned him
last November to take over
the program, Meyer talked
it over with his family and
then, after promising to not
overdo it at the exclusion
of his family and health,
he snapped up the job. It’s
a return to home for the
native of Ashtabula, a lakeside town in the Northeast
corner of the state. Meyer
attended and played football for the University of
Cincinnati. He also decided
he wanted to be a coach after serving on Earle Bruce’s
Buckeyes staff.
Now, he’s come full circle.
Meyer keeps a folder with
him on game day that helps
to remind him to focus on
what takes place on the field
and not all the emotions
surrounding it.
Yet he concedes that it’s a
futile battle.
“I’ll be coming out of my
shoes a little bit,” he said,
relishing coming out the
tunnel and hearing the roar
of 105,000 at old, hulking
Ohio Stadium. “I was four
years old or maybe I was
three and a half — I can’t
really remember the exact
Miscellaneous
time — when I first saw the
scarlet and gray play. It’s going to be an emotional time.
Very much so.”
The Buckeyes have just
eight seniors listed on their
two-deep roster — and 14
freshmen. No wonder there
are a lot of questions fluttering around Meyer’s first
edition.
He categorizes the talent
level as just “OK” at Ohio
State compared to what
he was used to at Florida.
Meyer has been critical of
the play of the wide receivers and, to a lesser degree,
linebackers. He recognizes
those positions will be a
bellwether of how far and
how fast the Buckeyes rise
from the depths of 2011.
“I feel that everybody has
bought in to coach Meyer,”
linebacker Ryan Shazier
said. “With everybody adjusting to (the coaching
change), I think we’re going
to have a really good season.”
Ohio State’s NCAA vio-
lations resulted in, among
other things, the forced resignation of coach Jim Tressel along with restrictions
on recruiting, vacating the
2010 season and a bowl ban
after this season.
Meyer may mention the
things that went wrong
before he arrived, but the
bowl ban isn’t talked about.
“At some point that’s going to have to be addressed.
Now is not the time,” he
said. “There is no conversation about week 13, week
14, week 15 and Christmas
break — what do we do?”
Right now, he has enough
to do just to prepare for a
game, his first since retiring
after leading Florida to a
37-24 win over Joe Paternoled Penn State in the Outback Bowl on Jan. 1, 2011
to complete an 8-5 season.
“It’s full metal jacket
(time) just to get to Saturday. And we’re not ready,”
he said. “That’s the cool
thing, our guys know that.
But they’re getting ready.”

CONCEPTIS SUDOKU
by Dave Green
HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Tuesday,
Aug. 28, 2012:
This year your logic becomes the
flagship of your many traits, and
often it manages to keep you in good
standing. You still could be dealing
with some fiery personalities. Be sure
to vent your frustration and anger
appropriately. Don’t try to swallow your
anger — this behavior won’t work. If
you are single, your magnetism attracts
many people. Relish the process of
dating and choosing the right person.
If you are attached, the two of you will
enjoy a new magical quality, as long
as you funnel your anger appropriately.
AQUARIUS presents unusual yet
workable solutions.
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 might want to think
carefully about someone’s lack of
warmth and generally irritating personality. Let go of this observation in order
to avoid getting into an argument. Deal
with financial matters directly, but do
not expect easy agreements. Tonight:
Where your friends are.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20)
HHH Move forward and read
between the lines with an associate
who seems to be holding back. Do not
start up or play into a combative partner’s beliefs. This person is bound and
determined to have others agree with
his or her views, even to the point of
nearly being a bully. Tonight: A force to
be dealt with.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20)
HHHHH Reach out to others, yet
be fully aware that your charm might
not work. Instead, use sincerity to
get better results. Even when you’re
stressed, you can count on authenticity
being effective. You are building a better network and understanding others’
needs as well. Tonight: Surround yourself with music.
CANCER (June 21-July 22)
HHHH Understand that you can’t
do anything to move others into your
way of thinking. Remember, you can
control no one. Though this might be
a depressing thought, keep pushing
to find a solution. It is yours to have.
Tonight: Let your hair down.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)
HHH Your intentions might be right
on; however, others have their own
agendas. You easily are distracted, as
you tend to be more interested in what
others are up to. Do not let your frustration get the best of you. Maybe you
can squeeze everything in. Tonight:
Sort through different ideas.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
HHHH You might want to focus
on your ideas and how to make them
come to life. Many of you will enjoy
yourselves so much that you won’t
notice anything else. Do not let your
temper get out of control. Employ selfdiscipline to keep your finances under
control. Tonight: All smiles.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
HHH Tension builds, no matter
what you do. Fatigue marks your perspective. In fact, you could be too tired
to jump on the bandwagon in order to
enjoy what is going on. You might want
to give someone more support, but you
also need to detach from a personal
situation. Tonight: Lighten up.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
HHH Use the morning, when you
seem more verbal or direct. In the
afternoon, you might become befuddled by a personal matter, or simply
not want to use self-discipline. A conflict could emerge from out of nowhere,
and quite suddenly at that. Tonight:
Head home.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
HHHH Opportunities appear if you
simply answer your phone, open your
email or respond to the knock at your
door. Be careful if you find your anger
rising. You might want to understand
what is going on within yourself. Slow
down, and avoid saying “yes” to the
first invitation. Tonight: Out and about.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
HHH Use the early part of the day
to the max. You could discover that
your appraisal of a financial matter is
off. You might be really uncomfortable
with what you hear about the situation.
A friend pushes for what he or she
wants. Tonight: Temper, temper.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
HHHHH If you discover that someone is being unresponsive, try to get
him or her to open up. Be sure to
honor this person’s mood, though, and
say something appropriately nice yet
reserved. Let the other party come forward when he or she is ready. Tonight:
Detach from someone’s anger.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)
HHH Make an important call first
thing in the morning. You might want
to maintain more distance from others
as the day goes on. Someone could
see you as provocative, or maybe it’s
the other way around. Do not become
a victim of impulse. Tonight: Not to be
found.

The bumping
and banging is
back at Bristol
BRISTOL, Tenn. (AP)
— With a two-handed toss
of his helmet, Tony Stewart
brought back everything
that had been missing at
Bristol Motor Speedway.
It was the rock ‘em, sock
‘em style of racing that
made the Tennessee bullring the toughest ticket
in NASCAR, and fans fill
the place for 55 consecutive races hoping to see
bumping and banging on

Shriver signs with URG softball team
the track and the off-track
drama it created.
Progressive banking added in 2007 diluted the action, and fans turned their
backs on Bristol in droves.
Yet another disappointing
crowd in March was the
final straw for track owner
Bruton Smith, who ordered
changes to the track surface in the hopes the action
would pick up and the fans
would return.
