The part-time position is for the remainder of the school year, October through June. It carries a salary of $7,000 over and above Blaettnar’s teaching salary since he will continue to teach special education classes and work as a co-teacher with Tim Lawson in the high school math program. Blaettnar who has been teaching for 29 years, is fully credentialed with a principal’s certificate. His primary role in the part-time position will be addressing student disciplinary problems and handling assigned duties from the principal. Personnel matters handled during the meeting included accepting the resignations of Yvonne Moore as a bus driver, Nolan Yates as 7th grade boys basketball coach and Suzanne Bentz as high school newspaper advisor. Jackie Ortman was hired as advisor of the National Honor Society, and Pierette Morales as freshman class advisor for the current school year. Jeremy Hill was named seventh grade boys basketball coach. Employed to work in the food service area were Fonda Young, re-employed on a two year contract, and Nancy Clark as substitute cook for the current school year. Ron Hill was hired as the project director/coordinator of the Carol M. White Physical Education Program (PEP) Grant, effective Oct. 1 with the stipulation that he remains at his current salary. To fill a va- cancy by the resignation of Sandra Butcher as a personal assistant to a health handicapped student, Vickie McKinney was hired. New and revised policies approved by the Board related to bullying, promotions, placement and retention, student abuse and neglect, and the third grade reading guarantee. The Board approved a three year contract renewal for the EFederal E-Rate Program Funding for 2013, 2014 and 2015 with Strategic Management Solutions at a cost of $1,080 per year per instructional building. Also approved was an ex- clusive toll-free school hotline service with the Southeastern Ohio Voluntary Education Cooperative at a cost of $250 a year. John Sharp, a teacher, spoke to the Board about tentative plans for taking eighth grade students on a trip to Washington, D. C. this year. As for funding the trip, he said money would be raised through sales of various things, along with sponsoring events such as dances, and monetary contributions. He indicated that the trip would depend on how much the kids are willing to work to come up with the money. In the past many eighth grade classes were taken to Washington, D. C. as an enrichment opportunity. There are 152 students in the Middle School who would have the opportunity to go on the motorcoach trip. No action was taken by the Board at this time pending further information. Any overnight trip has to be approved by the Board of Education. Attending the meeting were Superintendent Rusty Bookman, Treasurer-CFO Mark E. Rhonemus, and Board members, Ryan Mahr, Larry Tucker, Roger Abbott, Todd Snowden, and Ron Logan.

URG/RGCC designated a Miltary-Friendly School RIO GRANDE — The University of Rio Grande/Rio Grande Community College has been designated as a Military Friendly School by Victory Media, a nationally known media organization dedicated to assisting military personnel as they transition into civilian life. The organization recently named Rio Grande to its 2013 Military Friendly School list, which honors the top 15 percent of all colleges, universities and trade schools in the country that are doing the most to embrace America’s military service members, veterans and spouses as students. The institutions named to the list are being recognized for their work in helping these students succeed while they are on campus. “Inclusion on the 2013 list of Military Friendly Schools shows Rio Grande’s commitment to providing a supportive environment for military students,” said Sean Collins, director for G.I. Jobs and vice president at Victory Media. “As interest in education grows, we’re thrilled to provide the military community with transparent, world-class resources to assist in their search for schools.” Rio Grande is proud to be named to this list, and has a long history of assisting service members, veterans and their family members. The institution even has a student veterans organization and center dedicated to veterans on campus. The Rio Grande Veterans Organization is very active on campus, and is involved in numerous events throughout the academic year. The organization is based in the Rio Grande Veterans Center, which is located on the bottom floor of Boyd Hall and has room for meetings and special events, as well as space for students to work on homework and other projects. The center is decorated to honor the veterans from different wars, and a wide variety of medals and other materials donated by local veterans have been placed on display in the center. The Rio Grande Veterans Organization has also been recognized as a leader in Ohio, and the Rio Grande students that are part of the group have been helping vet- erans’ organizations at other colleges and universities to get organized and plan activities. Rio Grande supports the student veterans organization by providing space for the center and assisting with different projects, and is proud to have the veterans on campus each year. Local veterans who are not students are also invited into the center, and the Rio Grande Veterans Organization also takes part in community events. Victory Media compiles its list of top colleges, universities and trade schools each year through extensive research and a datadriven survey of more than 12,000 schools across the country. The list is created in order to help military students find the schools that best meet their unique needs and preferences. A detailed list of the 2013 Military Friendly Schools will be published in the annual “G.I Jobs Guide to Military Friendly School,” later this fall.

So central has Pena been to film in New York over the last 25 years that for many merely sitting in front of a movie screen here is likely to bring him to mind. As the programming director of the Film Society of Lincoln Center and chairman of the New York Film Festival selection committee, he’s one of the city’s most devoted advocates of global cinema. This year’s New York Film Festival, the 50th, is also Pena’s last. After 25 years, Pena is retiring at the end of the year. “I’d be really pleased to be known as the person who kept the — what I think — extremely high level of the festival constant,” Pena said in a recent interview in Lincoln Center’s Walter Reade Theater. “That indeed I was given a trust in 1988 and I didn’t screw up.” Most would give him far more credit than that. Pena has overseen film at Lincoln Center through a tumultuous period that’s seen the graying of art house audiences, the birth of digital filmmaking and distribution, the exponential growth of film festivals and the shift of the art film’s epicenter away from Europe and toward the Middle East, Asia and South America. It hasn’t always been easy — critics have claimed narrowing relevancy for the NYFF — but most see in “The Festival” an exalted, uncorrupted platform of some of the best in movies. When the 50th NYFF begins Friday, it will be much how it’s always been: a carefully curated, highly-selective few dozen films from around the world, including choice offerings from international festivals and highly anticipated fall films from Hollywood. The premiere of Ang Lee’s “Life of Pi,” a 3-D adaptation of the fantastical best seller, opens the festival. “Sopranos” creator David Chase’s directorial debut, “Not Fade Away,” is the midway centerpiece. And the Robert Zemeckis drama “Flight,” starring Denzel Washington, will close the fest. The rest of the 32 movies in the main slate include films from Noah Baumbach (“Frances Ha”), Brian De Palma (“Passion”), Olivier Assayas (“Something in the Air”), Michael Haneke (“Amour,” the Palme d’Or winner at Cannes), Cristian Mungiu (“Beyond the Hills”) and Abbas Kiarostami (“Like Someone in Love”). This year’s festival promises to be a milestone, celebrating the NYFF’s past and its future. Along with various 50th anniversary celebrations, Pena will be feted in one of two galas (the other is for Nicole Kidman, star of Lee Daniels’ “The Paperboy,” an entry in the main slate). But the festival has also responded to a changing landscape by expanding: A three-screen theater opened last year, allowing the Film Society to broaden its offerings and add some less stuffy events, like a reunion of the cast of Rob Reiner’s 1987 comedy classic, “The Princess Bride.” The 59-year-old Pena, who also teaches film at Columbia University, has seen the passion that accompanied the art house of the ’60s — when films by Godard, Truffaut, Antonioni were met with fervor — wane: “Something happened along the way there and I don’t really know what it was.” In festival programs and retrospectives, Pena has sought to expand the horizons of contemporary cinephilia, trumpeting directors like Kiarostami, Pedro Almodovar, the Dardenne brothers, Wong Kar-wai, Hou Chao-sheng and Edward Yang. “In terms of international cinema, I would love to take a bow for that,” says Pena. “But on the other hand, you have to realize, I had much greater access to that kind of work than my predecessors did.

Fittingly, the first festival Pena oversaw opened with Almodovar’s “Women on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown.” The Spanish director has since been a regular at the festival. In a book planned for release this fall on the festival, Almodovar writes of the resonance of the festival and its director: “At that moment I initiated a dialogue with New York City and its cinephiles that has only increased in intensity, fun, variety and passion.” It was Koch, the longtime administrator of the Film Society, who hired Pena, formerly the program director at the Art Institute of Chicago. His arrival, initially in a lesser role, was promptly expanded in wake of the acrimonious exit of Richard Roud, who had been program director for the festival’s first 25 years and was also hired at age 34. “Things were simpler in those times and in hiring Richard, I believe I made the most important decision of my 32 years as administrator of the Film Society,” says Koch. “After the first year, I knew he would make it to 25 — and probably another 25, if he wanted to work 24/7 a few more decades.” Pena will be succeeded by not one but two: Programmer and sometimes documentarian Kent Jones will be director of programming of the festival, and critic Robert Koehler will be director of programming year-round for the Film Society. With three kids ranging in age from 15-24, Pena says he’s “winding down a bit” and will likely occupy himself by organizing smaller programs here and there and doing series of lectures. “I always think that there’s stuff out there,” he says of film. “If you’re willing to move a little bit and make a tiny bit of effort, you can discover all kinds of wonderful things.” to unexpected places Christy Lemire AP Movie Critic It’s distracting at first: the fact that you’re looking at Joseph Gordon-Levitt but he doesn’t look exactly like the Joseph GordonLevitt you’ve come to know and love. Aren’t his eyes brown? Isn’t his nose longer and thinner? Even the blasé smirk on his face seems like an unfamiliar expression given his usual likable, boyish cool. Then Bruce Willis shows up, and you realize, a-ha! Gordon-Levitt, tweaked slightly through blue-green contact lenses and prosthetic makeup, is essentially channeling Willis because they play the same character reunited in the future over 30 years of time travel. It’s not a deadon impression or even a parody, and it’s not meant to be; this is not Josh Brolin doing a younger version of Tommy Lee Jones in the most recent “Men in Black” movie. But the sighs and the cadence and the general persona are there. So now that we’ve gotten that out of the way, we can focus on the really mind-boggling stuff. We haven’t even begun to explain the premise of “Looper” yet and your head is probably already starting to hurt — in a good way. It’s worth the effort. Fans of time-travel movies know that much of the fun of the genre comes from obsessing over whether it all makes sense, both while you’re watching it and in long, complicated conversations afterward. “Looper” makes sense … I think. I’ve got a couple logistical questions. But what’s smart about it — and what makes it more compelling than colder sci-fi — is the way writerdirector Rian Johnson establishes the machinery of the time-travel concept, then steadily pushes it into the background in favor of 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. The First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution Letters to the Editor Letters to the editor should be limited to 300 words.

Johnson’s feature debut — 2005’s “Brick,” a verbally stylized film noir set in a modern-day Southern California high school, also starring GordonLevitt — signaled him as an ambitious filmmaker with a distinctive voice. Here, with his third film, he’s expanded both his scope and his eye for vivid detail. He incorporates a variety of genres and influences, from dystopian, futuristic science fiction and dark comedy to parental drama and romance, with a Wild-West shootout and even some “Terminator” thrown in. But he always stays true to his characters in his fully realized world. The beginning of “Looper” looks like something that might best be described as “Les Miserables” meets a Lancome ad. The year is 2044, and America has fallen into a state of stylish squalor. Gordon-Levitt’s character, Joe, is a junkie and former criminal who makes ends meet in this depraved world by working as a “looper,” a hired gun. (Paul Dano plays his troublemaking co-worker.) Time travel hasn’t been invented yet, but it will be 30 years further in the future. A powerful mob boss known as the Rainmaker sends his enemies back in time to have them obliterated with no bodies to dispose of and no loose ends. All Joe and his fellow loopers have to do is stand in a certain place at a certain time and the victim will show up, hooded and kneeling. One quick blast and it’s over. But sometimes, future versions of the loopers themselves show up on the spot; this is known as “closing your own loop,” and it means getting a handsome payout and a set period of 30 more years to live it up. Trouble is, when Joe’s loop arrives in the form of Bruce Willis, he hesitates, then watches as his future self runs off. Although they’re the same person, decades of life experience have put them at cross-purposes, and in a dazzlingly clever nugget of a concept, each is hunting the other. The Willis version of the character wants to stop the Rainmaker when he’s just a young boy so that he may enjoy the happy life he’s fought so hard for; to achieve this goal, he makes some choices that many in the audience will find unsettling. But the GordonLevitt version is so selfish, he simply doesn’t care — he just wants this old man to die already. The scene in which they meet at a diner and spell out what they want over plates of steak and eggs is both thrilling and darkly funny. This is perhaps the most flawed character Gordon-Levitt has played, but there’s always great honesty and humanity in everything he does. And while Willis gets to flex his action-star muscles, it’s the vulnerability and world-weariness of his performance that’s even more appealing. The introduction of Emily Blunt, as a single mother seeking refuge from bigcity life on a farm with her strikingly gifted young son (Pierce Gagnon, with tremendous presence beyond his years), adds another emotional layer to this story. It softens and slows the film down but that’s not necessarily a bad thing; it’s just one more example of how “Looper” keeps changing effortlessly and taking you to unexpected places — past, present and future. “Looper,” a TriStar Pictures and FilmDistrict release, is rated R for strong violence, language, some sexuality/nudity and drug content.

(AP) — A coal mine health and safety panel created by Alpha Natural Resources’ settlement with the federal government after the Upper Big Branch Mine disaster will hold its first stakeholder meeting next month in Charleston. The Alpha Foundation for the Improvement of Mine Safety and Health convenes Oct. 10-11 at the Embassy Suites, and the event is open to the public. The panel includes professors Michael Karmis of Virginia Tech and Keith Heasley of West Virginia University, and professor emeritus David Wegman from the University of Massachusetts at Lowell. They want to gather input on what their priorities should be for $48 million that’s available to the foundation. Officials with the Mine Safety and Health Administration, National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health, National Mining Association, United Mine Workers of America and United Steel Workers have been invited to participate, along with West Virginia officials. The sessions will focus on four areas: disaster prevention and response; acute and chronic disease; human systems; and design and technology for prevention. The foundation was created in April under a $210 million settlement with Virginia-based Alpha that spared the company criminal prosecution in the worst U.S. mine disaster in four decades. The agreement also requires Alpha to spend $80 million to improve safe- ty at all of its mines with the latest technology. The April 2010 explosion at Upper Big Branch near Montcoal killed 29 men and has spawned two criminal prosecutions so far. The panel was chosen by Alpha and approved by the U.S. attorney’s office for West Virginia’s southern district. Heasley’s research interests include numerical modeling, computer applications in mining, multiple-seam mine design and ground control. Karmis has worked on communications and tracking systems, and Wegman, an epidemiologist, has expertise in occupational health and safety. Karmis has previously said the foundation doesn’t want to duplicate past efforts but instead focus on new initiatives. New ID laws could delay outcome of close election counted, but only if election officials can verify that they were eligible to vote, a process that can take days or weeks. Adding to the potential for chaos: Many states won’t even know how many provisional ballots have been cast until sometime after Election Day. Voters cast nearly 2.1 million provisional ballots in the 2008 presidential election. About 69 percent were eventually counted, according to election results compiled by The Associated Press. New election laws in competitive states like Virginia, Florida, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin will probably increase the number of provisional ballots in those states this year, according to voting experts, although the new laws in Wisconsin and Pennsylvania are being challenged in court. New voter ID laws in states like Kansas, Mississippi, South Carolina and Tennessee could affect state or local elections, though some of those laws also are being challenged. Provisional ballots don’t get much attention if an election is a landslide. But what if the vote is close, as the polls suggest in the race between President Barack Obama and Republican Mitt Romney? Most of today’s voting nightmares go back to Florida in 2000, when the results of balloting and thus the winner of the presidential contest were not known for weeks after Election Day. Questions about recount irregularities and the validity of ballots with hanging chads — paper fragments still attached to punch-card ballots — preceded the eventual declaration that George W. Bush had won the state by 537 votes and was the next president. “In a close election, all eyes are going to be on those provisional ballots, and those same canvassing boards that were looking at pregnant chads and hanging chads back in 2000,” Smith said. “It’s a potential mess.” The federal election law passed in response to the 2000 presidential election gives voters the option to cast a provisional ballot, if poll workers deny them a regular one. New voter ID laws could slow the count even more. In Virginia and Wisconsin, voters who don’t bring an ID to the polls can still have their votes counted if they produce an ID by the Friday following Election Day. Pennsylvania’s law gives voters six days to produce an ID. In Ohio, which has competitive races for both president and the Senate, provisional voters have up to 10 days following the election to bring an ID to the county board of elections. If voters in Florida don’t bring an ID to the polls, they must sign a provisional ballot envelope. Canvassing Police: Student kills self at Okla. school STILLWATER, Okla. (AP) — A student apparently committed suicide before classes started Wednesday at an Oklahoma junior high school, police said. Police Capt. Randy Dickerson said a school resource officer heard a gunshot shortly before 8 a.m. The student was found dead in a hallway, he said. “It doesn’t appear that anyone else was in danger or threatened,” Dickerson said. The junior high school and a nearby elementary school were locked down and classes canceled for the day, authorities said. The name of the stu- dent was not released, pending notification of next of kin. Kenny Monday told The Associated Press that he’d just dropped off his son, Kennedy, when he heard about the incident. Monday said his son heard the gunshot but did not witness the shooting. “It’s so sad that the kid lost his life, but we’re just glad he didn’t shoot anyone else,” Monday said. Stillwater Junior High sent a statement to parents saying there had been a “single shooting incident” at the school and that staff and students — eighth and ninth graders — had been moved to a safe location. Parents were told to pick up their children at a nearby shopping center. “Everyone thought it was a joke at first,” ninth-grader Ashlyn Lundholm told the Stillwater NewsPress. “Then I heard people screaming. Then we went to lockdown for 35 to 40 minutes.” An eighth-grade student told the newspaper he witnessed the shooting. “I saw him on the ground,” Aaron Veselak said. “There was blood all around his head.” Dickerson told the NewsPress that “the hallway was probably full of kids that time of day.” boards then will try to match the signatures with those in voter registration records, a process that conjures up images of the 2000 presidential election in Florida. “Americans have gotten used to the expectation that you could turn on the TV and you would know that night who won the election, even after Florida in 2000,” said Edward B. Foley, a law professor at Ohio State University. “But this could be an election in which we don’t know the answer for several days.” Florida could see a big increase in provisional ballots because the state has tightened its change-of-address requirements. This year, voters who move from one county to another in Florida without updating their voter registration will have to cast provisional ballots. In previous elections, they could change their address on Election Day and cast a regular ballot. - SPECIAL OF THE WEEK - 2011 CHEVROLET TRAVERSE All wheel drive, V-6, 8-pass, CD SPECIAL $25,740 SMITH CHEVROLET ET BUIC BUICK CK 1911 Eastern Ave • 740-446-2282 • Gallipolis www.smithsuperstore.com 60357098 WASHINGTON (AP) — The presidential election is Nov. 6, but it could take days to figure out the winner if the vote is close. New voting laws are likely to increase the number of people who have to cast provisional ballots in key states. Tight races for Congress, governor and local offices also could be stuck in limbo while election officials scrutinize ballots, a scenario that would surely attract legions of campaign lawyers from both parties. “It’s a possibility of a complete meltdown for the election,” said Daniel Smith, a political scientist at the University of Florida. Voters cast provisional ballots for a variety of reasons: They don’t bring proper ID to the polls; they fail to update their voter registration after moving; they try to vote at the wrong precinct; or their right to vote is challenged by someone.

The Blue Devils — who entered sectionals as defending champions — posted a team score of 332, which tied Chesapeake for the best four-man tally of the day. The Panthers, however, won the sectional title based on the tiebreaking fifth score from each squad. Joining both the Blue Devils and Chesapeake (332) next Wednesday at the D-2 District Championships at Pickaway Country Club were Portsmouth (354), Hillsboro (363) and Jackson (366). River Valley just missed the cut by placing sixth in the 16-team field with a score of 380. Rob Canady led Gallia Academy through 18 holes with a 3-over par round of 75, followed by Dares Hamid and Brady Curry with respective efforts of 81 and 82. Bruce Moreaux completed the team score with a 94, while Sean Saltzgaber supplied a tiebreaker score of 96. GAHS recorded five birdies on the day, three of which were fired by Canady. Hamid and Curry also had a birdie each in advancing to districts. Nick Duffield led CHS with a 78, followed by Shane Stevens and Eric Sias with respective rounds of 83 and 84. Seth Waggoner completed the team tally with an 87, while Drew Oxley ultimately provided the winning tiebreaker score of 88. Austin Bagshaw of Hillsboro earned sectional medalist honors with an even par round of 72. The five individual qualifiers for districts were Todd Galloway (85) of Portsmouth West, Lane Bunnell (86) and Hunter Riepenhoff (90) of Wellston, Cameron Pope (87) of Northwest, and Logan Sheets of River Valley. Sheets led the Raiders with a 92, followed by Jordan Howell and Dan Goodrich with respective rounds of 93 and 96. Jacob Gilmore completed the RVHS team total with a 99, while Zach Morris added a 119 for the Silver and Black. Team finishes in seven through 16 order were: Northwest (385), Piketon (395), Ironton (400), Fairland (403), Portsmouth West (412), Wellston (423), Eastern Brown (426), Minford (435), South Point (453) and Rock Hill (554). McKinney advances to D-2 district golf tourney Bryan Walters bwalters@heartlandpublications.com CHILLICOTHE, Ohio — For senior Treay McKinney, the season continues. For the rest of the Meigs golf team, the fall campaign is officially over. McKinney was one of five golfers to individually advance to next week’s district tournament at Pickaway Country Club following Tuesday’s Division II sectional championship at the Chillicothe Jaycees Course in Ross County. McKinney picked up the final district qualifying spot by shooting an 85 over 18 holes, which joined the Marauder senior with fellow qualifiers Adam Sharp (77) of McClain, Andrew Harley (78) of New Lexington, Tyler Nartker (84) of Waverly and Andrew Pettenski (84) of Westfall. Those five golfers, plus the top five finishing teams from Tuesday’s match, all advance to Wednesday’s district tournament in Circleville, Ohio. The Marauders finished 14th out of 16 squads with a team tally of 390. McKinney led MHS with an 85, followed by matching 99s from Gage Gilkey and Chris Folmer. David Davis rounded out the team score with a 107, while Taylor Rowe also recorded a 111 for the Maroon and Gold. Unioto won the team title with a 322, followed by runner-up Fairfield Union with a 333. Washinton Court House (341), Sheridan (345) and Miami Trace (346) were the other teams that advanced to district play next week. Sam Calvin of Unioto was also the medalist with a 2-over par round of 74. McClain (352), Westfall (359), Logan Elm (360), Waverly (367) and New Lexington (369) finished six through 10, while Alexander (377), Zane Trace (379) and Circleville (387) all placed ahead of Meigs. Athens (392) and Vinton County (421) rounded out the final two spots in the 16team field.

Burleson — who last year provided the only score with a 20-yard direct kick goal with 2:09 left in regulation — again provided the heroics in the seventh annual contest, only this time with 2:48 remaining in a match deadlocked at two apiece. Burleson took control of the ball just outside the right corner of the 18-yard box, then lofted a shot toward the back-left of the goal that ultimately trickled into the net with less than three minutes left in the contest. Burleson’s second score of the night proved to be just enough for the Defenders (8-3-1) en route to earning their second straight Holzer Cup win and third overall in the past four years. The Blue Devils (2-6-1) still own a 4-3 overall advantage in Holzer Cup play since starting the series in 2006. OVCS — which has won four straight matches against Gallia Academy — jumped out to an early 2-0 advantage in the game. Richard Bowman gave the hosts a 1-0 edge in the 12th minute after netting a crossing pass from Burleson, then Burleson netted a crossing pass from Caleb McKitrick in the 20th minute for a 2-0 cushion with 20:10 left in the first half.

Buckeyes welcome a return to power football COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Through four games and four victories, Ohio State’s defense has faced a continual drumbeat of short passes, quick routes, screens and sweeps. Every opponent, it seems, has relied on sleight of hand. No wonder the Buckeyes — built for the black-and-blue Big Ten — are dead last in the conference in defense, allowing almost 400 yards a game. “That’s very alarming,” coach Urban Meyer said on Tuesday. “It’s not the (same) Ohio State defense over the last 10 years (that was) as good as there is in the country. That’s very alarming and that’s something that’s got to change real fast.” Now the 14th-ranked Buckeyes are getting back into their element. They’ll be in familiar territory, at least in terms of the style of play, when they open the Big Ten schedule on Saturday at No. 20 Michigan State. A 244-pound tailback? Check. Less misdirection? Check. Fewer passes? Check. After facing subterfuge and rush-avoiding quick-hitters for a month, now the Buckeyes are pleased that they can get back to meeting ball-carriers head on. They’re thinking that maybe now they forge an identity. “We have to find out what we want to hang our hat on,” defensive co-coordinator Everett Withers said. “It’s an ongoing process. The mission is to win the next game and — hopefully, eventually — we find exactly who we are on defense. This week will give us a pretty good idea.” The Spartans don’t figure to do a lot of bubble screens and trickery, which have been a regular part of the diet from the Buckeyes’ four opponents so far. Instead, they’ll go with a sledge hammer directly at Ohio State’s defense. Michigan State’s first and foremost weapon is Le’Veon Bell, a brawny runner from not far from the Ohio State campus who is third in the nation in rushing at 153 yards a game. There is very little subtlety in having a guy who weighs an eighth of a ton running right at you. And, believe it or not, that’s a welcome change for Ohio State. “The No. 1 thing is we’re going to have to stop the run,” linebacker Etienne Sabino said. “Their run game is the strength of their offense. They have a great running back. We have to stop them from running. If we’re able to do that, we can have a pretty good game.” Ohio State’s four opponents so far — Miami (Ohio), Central Florida, California and UAB — managed just 4 yards per rush. But they went for a startling 9.9 yards per pass completion. Almost everyone on the team has a theory why the defense has been gashed on those quick throws on the perimeter. At first, a lack of pressure from the front wall was blamed. Then it was the secondary which surrendered big-gainers. The linebackers have drawn more than their share of criticism. But overall, Meyer and his staff said the Buckeyes were not very good at tackling. So over the past two weeks, extra time in practice has been spent on mobbing the ball, wrapping up and attacking. “We know that we know how to go out there and tackle,” safety Orhian Johnson said. “It was us just trying to maybe go out there and make those big plays instead of being fundamentally sound.” Now, with a familiar opponent playing a more conventional offense, the Buckeyes believe they’ve taken steps to alleviate their problems. “Honestly, looking at the film, I don’t think we’re that far off,” Sabino said. “We just have to shore up a couple of little things. It goes back to tackling and making sure guys do their jobs at all time. When we do our jobs, we’re actually pretty good.” Everyone recognizes that if Bell runs through the Buckeyes — or over them — then it is back to the drawing board. “If it turns into a 200-yard rushing day (for Bell), then we’re going to lose the game,” Meyer said. “I think our defense is kind of built for this. It’s not built for sideline-to-sideline dinks and dunks. That’s the challenge.” MAC still felling tall timbers in big conferences Rusty Miller The Associated Press Dan Enos lettered four years and started two at quarterback for Michigan State. So he’s got an idea of what it means for a team from a mid-major conference to knock off somebody from the power conferences. “I’ve coached in the Big Ten. I’ve played in the Big Ten,” said Enos, now in his third year as the head coach at Central Michigan, a MidAmerican Conference mem- ber. “And when you understand the resources that those (bigger) schools have and the amount of money that they have and the facilities and the recruiting aspect, yeah, it is a big deal.” There have been plenty of “big deals” around the MAC these days. So many, in fact, that it might be hard in the future for the league’s schools to get games against the powers that be in college football. Just last weekend, MAC teams knocked off four schools from Bowl Cham- pionship Series automaticqualifier conferences. Enos’ Chippewas won at Iowa of the Big Ten, 32-31, on a lastsecond field goal. Northern Illinois knocked off the Big 12’s Kansas and coach Charlie Weis, 30-23. Ball State, which a week earlier had won at Indiana of the Big Ten, hosted South Florida of the Big East and won, 31-27. And the Big East’s Connecticut lost to Western Michigan, 31-24. The MAC has also acquitted itself well in other games. Toledo took Arizo- left corner of the net, pulling the Blue Devils to within 2-1 in the 26th minute. Hemphill followed by burying a point-blank shot in the back of the net in the 38th minute, allowing the guests to pull even at two with 2:04 left before the intermission. Despite several missed opportunities for both teams, the score remained tied at two for nearly 40 minutes — until Burleson provided the final fireworks Almost every member of the conference has a page in its media guide devoted to its major upsets. One of the first items in this week’s MAC notes highlights Sept. 20, 2003, when MAC teams upended No. 6 Kansas State, No. 9 Pittsburgh and No. 21 Alabama on the same day. It’s a point of pride throughout the 13-team league (Massachusetts becomes a full member in 2013) that Goliaths frequently fall before the MAC’s Davids. “We talk about it all the time,” Buffalo coach Jeff Quinn said. No one is saying the MAC is even remotely close to being on equal footing with the Southeastern Conference, winner of the last six national championships and with four of the top six teams in this week’s AP Top 25. But the MAC has sort of elbowed in and found a spot between the bullies which surround it. “You’ve got to find your niche,” Western Michigan coach Bill Cubit said. Golf Holzer From Page 6 na to overtime before coming up short, 24-17. Bowling Green opened the year by hanging around current No. 11 Florida before falling 27-14. Eastern Michigan fought on even terms at No. 21 Michigan State last week before going down, 23-7 — a close call that made Spartans coach Mark Dantonio so angry that he raced through his postgame news conference by spitting out “next question!” seven times in less than a minute. The MAC has that effect on a lot of big-name teams. — again — in the 78th minute. The Defenders outshot GAHS by a 19-9 overall margin and claimed a 10-9 edge in shots on goal. Marshall Hood made seven saves in net for the victors, while Jason Sayre made seven stops in goal for the Blue Devils. Previous scores from Holzer Cup matches are: Gallia Academy 3-0 (2006), Gallia Academy 6-0 (2007), Gallia Academy 2-1 (2008), Ohio Valley Christian 2-2 (2009), Gallia Academy 2-2 (2010) and Ohio Valley Christian 1-0 (2011). OVCS won the 2009 shootout by a 4-3 count to break the tie, while GAHS won the 2010 shootout by a 2-1 margin to break the tie. Gallia Academy’s last regulation win over the Defenders came on August 26, 2010, by an 8-1 decision. OVCS has outscored the Blue Devils by a 14-4 margin in the five matchups since. From Page 6 Carlie Winters with a 67-65 132. Alexandra Elliott finished with a 76-62 138 and Emily Van Sickle finished with a 78-62 142 to close out the RVHS total.

Mary Roush recorded a 47-41 88, while Devonah Kaiser rounded out the Westfall total with a 52-47 100. Erin Roush (108) also played but did not contribute toward the Westfall total.

You see the potential for change, but you need a boss or supervisor to go along with you. You might opt not to share everything you are thinking. Tonight: Not to be found. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHHHH A friend seems to zero in on an issue, which helps you to verbalize and express your thoughts. A partner cares, but he or she initially might show it as hostility.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHH You are on top of your game, and you understand what makes an associate function in the way that he or she does. Open up to a talk, and share more of what you think is needed. Be aware of what others suggest as well. Tonight: A must appearance. CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHHH Detach before making a final decision. You intuitively want to know more of what could make a situation work. By stepping back, you will gain greater insight for how to proceed. Evaluate what is needed at the moment. Tonight: Your feelings need to lead the way. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHHH Recheck any agreements that could impact your finances. You have very high ideals, and you want to satisfy them.

Tonight: Make calls and figure out weekend plans. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHHH You deal with others directly and with self-confidence. You know what your expectations are, and, for the most part, you share them with those involved. You could get into a heated conversation at first, but let it go — don’t let it mar your interaction.

Tonight: Choose something fun. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHHH Think through a problem with key players.

Tonight: Happy to be home. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHHHH Keep conversations moving. You have an intuitive sense of what you want to hear.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHHHH You might not understand the financial implications of what you are seeing. Someone might be more deceptive than you think. If you are unsure, say little and avoid making any commitments. A boss or higherup tests your patience. Tonight: Think “budget.” PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHHHH You might want to understand what is going on with someone at a distance. You could be unusually aggravated with a loved one, but let these feelings pass. A friend encourages you to go along with his or her idea. Say “yes.” Tonight: Beam in what you want.

Rogers Basement Waterproofing �Thursday, September 27, 2012 The Daily Sentinel • Page 10 www.mydailysentinel.com Grubb proves he’s the right fit for Hamlin CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — The hottest crew chief in NASCAR was available, and yet Denny Hamlin wasn’t sure he wanted him to lead his race team. Darian Grubb was out of work just days after guiding Tony Stewart to last year’s championship. Stewart won the title with five victories in the final 10 Chase for the Sprint Cup races — and Stewart let him go before they even collected the trophy. Grubb had job offers from all over the garage, but Hamlin wasn’t convinced he was the best fit for the No. 11 team. Hamlin had been with Mike Ford for his entire Sprint Cup Series career, and he didn’t necessarily need to make a change. True, he was coming off a flat 2011 season after nearly winning the title the year before, but there wasn’t a pressing need to replace Ford. But Joe Gibbs Racing was enticed by Grubb, even if Hamlin had to be convinced the crew chief was still motivated to chase another championship. “I was a little more apprehensive that he did just win the championship. I knew that he was mulling offers of not being a crew chief anymore,” Hamlin said. “So that scared me a little bit that, ‘Hey, what’s his drive to go out here and win a championship with me?’ He’s just won the championship. He’s got nothing to prove.” Hamlin was wrong. Although Grubb has insisted from the start he’s not seeking any sort of revenge against Stewart or validation from the industry, he has done a tremendous job this season. He led Hamlin to a dominating win last Sunday at New Hampshire, a victory that goes down as Grubb’s sixth in 12 Chase races dating to last season. Hamlin won a series-best four races during the “regular season” to earn the top seed in the Chase, and the New Hampshire win was a huge lift after a mistake cost the team critical points in the opener. Hamlin and Grubb now go to Dover — the third race in the Chase — ranked third in the standings and seven points behind leader Jimmie Johnson. Stewart, meanwhile, has three wins on the season and is fourth in the Chase standings, 10 points out of the lead. Neither Grubb or Stewart discuss in any real detail what led to their split. Hamlin said he doesn’t ask. “As many times as I’ve been in a hauler with him and they’ve talked about crew chief changes on the TV right here in front of him, I always think it is an awkward situation for him,” Hamlin said. “But he’s never brought up that, ‘I just want to beat him,’ or anything like that. It’s always focused on our team and what he needs to be better.” Stewart’s decision to release Grubb came weeks before they won the championship, and he didn’t change his mind even after winning three of the final four races of the season. Stewart isn’t one to wonder if he let a great crew chief slip away, and he’s content with Steve Addington. “I know Darian and I know Denny enough to know that they were going to have good chemistry together,” Stewart said before the Chase opener. “But you have to do what you think as an owner to try to give yourself the best opportunity to have success. You don’t look back. You don’t sit there and say, ‘What if?’ You sit there and work on your program and try to figure out what you have to do now.” Browns’ rookies facing tough road test vs. Ravens BEREA, Ohio (AP) — Once he’s handed the ball on Thursday night, Trent Richardson knows what’s next. Hall of Fame-level contact. “Ray Lewis is going to come at me,” the Browns rookie running back said, “and I’m going to come right back at him. That’s football.” Richardson, quarterback Brandon Weeden and Cleveland’s other rookies are about to face the toughest test of their budding careers when the winless Browns visit Baltimore, one of the league’s most hostile stadiums where the Ravens have won 12 straight, 20 of 21 and where visitors are not welcomed. Play at your own risk. “You have to be on your ‘A’ game and be ready to rock and roll,” Weeden said Wednesday. Or, get rocked and rolled — on national TV. It’s tough to play on the road in a normal week, but the Browns have only had two days to prepare for the Ravens (2-1), who are coming off a lastsecond win over New England on Sunday night. Baltimore has won eight straight over Cleveland under coach John Harbaugh and some of the Ravens have posted some of their best stats at the expense of the Browns. Ravens quarterback Joe Flacco has never lost to Cleveland, going 8-0 the past four seasons. Safety Ed Reed has more interceptions (10), return yards (356) and touchdowns on picks (three) versus the Browns than any other opponent, and running back Ray Rice has averaged 118.5 yards per game against Cleveland. 60349549 60lbs Quikrete $3.99 Economy Studs 2x4x8 $2.19 Furring Strips 1x2x8 $1.29 1x3x8 $1.39 Henry 3 yr. 5 gal Driveway Asphalt Filler and Sealer $14.99 Pro 7 Driveway Sealer 5 Gal $29.99 Fall Elastomeric Roof Coating White Kool Seal $89.99 Stihl BG 55 Handheld Blower $149.95 Stihl MS 170 16” Chainsaw $179.95 79¢ INTO SAVINGS John-In-A-Box $79.99 12oz Great Stuff Insulation $3.69 All Purpose Joint Compound $12.99 Economy Aluminum Roof Coating Kool Seal $56.99 Premium Aluminum Roof Coating Kool Seal $79.99 JERSEY GLOVES Light Weight All Purpose Joint Compound $14.99 Dog Kennels 10x10x6 $239.00 We carry Straw and Grass Seed!
