Lee A. Hawkins, 48, Bidwell, was sentenced on Tuesday in the Common Pleas Court of Gallia County before a gallery filled with the friends and family of the victim, Betsy Ball, who attended the morning’s hearing. Common Pleas Judge D. Dean Evans handed down a life sentence without the eligibility of parole for a charge of aggravated murder along with a 36-month sentence for a tampering with evidence charge. Hawkins was found guilty by a jury on Tuesday, October 9 of murdering Ball, 67, at her home on Wilder Road on February 29, 2012, and raping, mutilating and dumping her body on a nearby farm located on Piper Road near the Village of Vinton. The victim was reported missing by her family during the early morning hours of March 1 and her body was later found by law enforcement officials where it had been dumped in a field. Autopsy reports later indicated that the primary cause of death in this case was strangulation. Hawkins was later identified as a suspect in this case and has remained in the Gallia County Sheriff’s Office since his arrest on March 13. Following a six day trial, Hawkins was found guilty last week by a jury of aggravated murder, tampering with evidence and the gross abuse of a corpse. Tampering with evidence and the gross abuse of a corpse were later found to be allied offenses in this case — or offenses that could have been committed by the same actions of the defendant — and were merged by the court for the purposes of sentencing. During Tuesday’s hearing, David Ball, the victim’s husband, was given the opportunity to address the court on behalf of his family. He requested Gallia County Assistant Prosecutor Britt Wiseman to read a statement he had prepared. “Betsy was a great, great lady, and you robbed her from us. You robbed her from her children, her grandchildren, her brothers See MURDER ‌| 2 Voter registration closed; absentee and early voting continue Tackling cancer Charlene Hoeflich choeflich@mydailysentinel.com Submitted photos In support of Breast Cancer Awareness month, the Little Eagles football players, cheerleaders, coaches and fans took part in a balloon release and wore pink during a recent game against the South Gallia Rebels. Pink balloons (and a few green) were launched prior to the game in memory and honor of loved ones who have fought cancer, are currently tackling cancer, or just to support awareness and finding a cure. The Little Eagles raised nearly $200 that will be donated to the “Because We Care” program at Eastern Local. The program spreads awareness and provides support for local friends and family members who have been affected by breast cancer. The team is coached by Pat Newland, and the cheerleading advisor is Ashley Smith. POMEROY — Voter registration is now officially closed, according to an announcement from Becky Johnston, director, Meigs County Board of Elections. “However, you can still register to vote, but you will not be eligible to vote in the Nov. 6th Presidential Election,” she said. Meanwhile, absentee voting and/or early voting is continuing on a daily basis at the Meigs County Board of Elections office. Johnston said the hours for voting are as follows: Monday, Oct. 15 through Friday, Oct. 19, 8 a.m. until 5 p.m. Then starting Monday, Oct 22 the office will be open from 8 a.m. until 7 p.m. for the convenience of voters until Friday, Nov. 2, when the office will close at 6 p.m. In compliance with Tuesday’s directive from Jon Husted, Ohio Secretary of State, all county Boards of Election will be open uniform days and hours for inperson absentee voting for military and non-military voters alike on Saturday, Nov. 3, from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m.; on Sunday, Nov. 4, from 1 to 5 p.m.; and on Monday, Nov. 5, from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. As to when absentee ballots are counted, Johnson says there seems to be a lot of confusion. “Contrary to popular belief, these ballots are actually processed prior to Election Day. The ballots are scanned prior to Election Day (this process can begin 10 days before the election), but not tabulated. This means that the totals are not available until election night. Absentee votes are a part of the “unofficial count” on election night. Valid absentee ballots that are received after the close of polls on Election Day (postmarked by Nov. 5, 2012) through the 10th day after the election are included in the official canvas.” Johnston went on to explain that “provisional ballots are the ballots that do not get counted until after Election Day but are included in the official canvas if certified as valid. Voting a provisional ballot means that the voter has moved within the county and changed their voting precinct or has moved from another county in the State of Ohio. If the voter has requested an absentee ballot, has no identification, refuses to provide identification or if the voter’s right to vote is challenged are just a few more reasons that a provisional ballot is required.” In conclusion, the director said that the agency would like to remind all Meigs County registered voters “to get out and vote either at your regular voting precinct on Election Day or at the Meigs County Board of Elections office on Mulberry Heights in Pomeroy prior to Election Day.” High court won’t block early voting in Ohio Associated Press TUPPERS PLAINS — Promoting wellness in the school district through the use of a Fitness Center equipped with exercise equipment paid for by Farmers Bank is the goal of the Eastern Local Wellness Team. The center was established in 2010 and is home to a Wellness Team which is composed of staff, students and families, meeting periodically throughout the school year to promote wellness goals, evaluate activities and identify ways to promote health and wellness in the school district. Kristin Dettwiller is currently serving as chairman of the team which utilizes the Fitness Center’s state-of- the-art equipment. COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — The Supreme Court on Tuesday cleared the way for voters in the battleground state of Ohio to cast ballots on the three days before Election Day, giving Democrats and President Barack Obama’s campaign a victory three weeks before the election. The court refused a request by the state’s Republican elections chief and attorney general to get involved in a battle over early voting. Ohio is among 34 states, plus the District of Columbia, where people can vote early without giving any reason. About 30 percent of the swing state’s total vote — or roughly 1.7 million ballots — came in before Election Day in 2008. Crucial to Obama’s win that year was early voting in Ohio, North Carolina and Florida. Obama won Ohio four years ago, but Republican rival Mitt Romney is making a strong play for it this year. No GOP candidate has won the White House without Ohio in his column. Obama’s campaign and Ohio Democrats had sued state officials over changes in state law that took away the three days of voting for most people but made exceptions for military personnel and Ohioans living overSubmitted photo seas.

I’m worried about what to talk about and how to act. What if I don’t even recognize people? They all probably have grandkids, and I am still single. Should I go? — K.B. Dear K.B.: You sound conflicted about attending your 40th class reunion, but passing this one up could mean you won’t get another chance to reconnect with your classmates. That would be a shame. Instead of focusing on your fears about what awkward scenarios might occur, try to focus on some of the opportunities this reunion offers. Surely there are some friends you’d like to see again and catch up with. Find out if they’ll be there. Go through your old yearbook to refresh your memory about some of the fun times you shared, the teachers and activities it would be enjoyable to discuss with your peers. Get yourself in the mood. Even if you can’t warm up too much to the whole time-machine aspect of the class reunion, you can look forward to meeting “new” people — the ones you never had much to do with in high school, who might be very interesting party companions now. Not everyone will be talking about grandchildren, and even if they are, they probably will want to hear about your life journey too. The organizers of the event will make sure everyone feels welcome — especially long-lost classmates like you — so most of your fears probably will dissipate when you arrive. I encourage you to attend this momentous event — better late than never! (c) 2012 by King Features Syndicate Local Stocks Friday: A chance of showers after 1pm. Mostly cloudy, with a high near 64.

You robbed her from her family, her friends that she could bring a smile to their faces and, also, her beautiful flowers that she enjoyed very much.

Betsy was a good, good Christian who lived it and practiced it everyday,” he wrote.

They also said eliminating the opportunity for most Ohio residents to vote in person on those days, while giving military or overseas voters the chance to do so, leads to unequal treatment. Attorneys for the state said many laws already grant military personnel special voting accommodations, such as requirements for states to send absentee ballots to them 45 days before the election. And they argued local boards also need those final days to prepare for the election. On Oct. 5, a federal appeals court reinstated voting on the weekend and Monday before the election and returned discre- tion to set hours on those days to local boards of elections. Ohio Secretary of State Jon Husted appealed that ruling to the Supreme Court last week. He said it opened up the chance for Ohio’s 88 county boards of elections to set different rules, while simultaneously ordering that all voters be treated the same. But the high court allowed the lower court’s ruling to stand. Before the changes to the Ohio law, local boards of elections set their own early voting hours. And those hours varied among the state’s counties. Husted had been accepting boards’ recommendations for hours on the disputed days in the event his appeal wasn’t successful. About an hour after the high court’s decision, Husted ordered uniform hours across the state. The hours are from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Saturday, Nov. 3; from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. on Sunday, Nov. 4; and from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Monday, Nov. 5. Husted said that despite the high court’s ruling, he believes the Ohio Legislature, not the federal courts, should set the voting rules. “However, the time has come to set aside the issue for this election,” he said in a statement. Husted said the new statewide hours on the three days will give Ohioans the same opportunities to vote regardless of their home county. Bob Bauer, general counsel for Obama for America, praised the Supreme Court’s decision. “We now turn our full attention to educating Ohio voters on when and how they can vote along with presenting the clear choice they face when selecting their next president,” Bauer said in a statement. �Wednesday, October 17, 2012 The Daily Sentinel • Page 3 www.mydailysentinel.com Obituaries Lloyd Everett Blackwood Lloyd Everett Blackwood, 84, of Pomeroy, Ohio, passed away on October 13, 2012.

For starters, try to imagine being Paul Ryan last Thursday: a young politician in the hot seat, the eyes of the world pressing upon him, as he tries to make succinct statements in a mostintense environment, while all along, literally nearly every minute—Biden interrupted Ryan 80-plus times— his opponent smirks, scoffs, laughs uncontrollably, flaps his arms, and, generally, behaves extremely rudely. I ask readers: Could you have endured what Paul Ryan handled? Given what he was up against, Paul Ryan’s debate performance was truly remarkable. It was extraordinary. As for Joe Biden, his disrespectfulness was of historic proportions. Only the blindest partisan Democrats, or really angry liberals, liked what Biden did. “I don’t believe I’ve ever seen a debate where one candidate was as openly disrespectful … and openly contemptuous,” observed a stunned Chris Wallace, a veteran reporter who has watched every presidential and vice-presidential debate since Kennedy v. Nixon in 1960. Wallace’s observation brings me to this thought: I can’t help but think of the historic dimensions of what happened last Thursday evening. Consider: As for Paul Ryan, imagine if he someday rises to the rank of not just vice president but president. Imagine if this young man in his early 40s becomes a dominant face on the American scene for the next 40 years. And then imagine Paul Ryan at, say, age 80-something, withdrawing from the public stage after a long, accomplished, heralded career. If that indeed transpires, then the world will look back at that moment with Joe Biden 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.

All letters are subject to editing, must be signed and include address and telephone number. No unsigned letters will be published. Letters should be in good taste, addressing issues, not personalities. “Thank You” letters will not be accepted for publication. as historic. The Biden-Ryan footage will be played again and again, rebroadcast and rebroadcast, on TVs, computer screens, museums, perhaps even presidential libraries: the young-looking, politically green Ryan vs. the scoffing senior pol, with Ryan calmly holding his own. Those watching the video in, say, the year 2052, born after the 2012 political season, will look at the young Ryan and smile in nostalgic appreciation, and will look at Joe Biden and say, “Who’s that guy? Wow, was he obnoxious!” As I grapple for historical parallel, here are two analogies: In July 1959, a young Richard Nixon, vice president of the United States, was an unfortunate victim of an impromptu debate with an old, bald, bombastic Nikita Khrushchev. The two went at it vigorously, with Khrushchev pleasing (at best) only the hardest communist apparatchiks, and with Nixon, many years younger, trying to make thoughtful statements while getting continually shouted at—but ably holding his own. “His vehemence … had been a shock,” said Nixon after meeting Khrushchev. “When God created Khrushchev (something Khrushchev would deny), He broke the mold.” If Paul Ryan rises to the level Richard Nixon did, we’ll think of his debate with Biden as we do Nixon’s showdown with Khrushchev—a defining marker in his career. At the same time, Ryan will not crash and burn like Nixon, because Ryan is more of a people person and has greater integrity. Despite the left’s never-ending attempts to demonize Paul Ryan, Americans will like him—which brings me to my other analogy, Ronald Reagan. In October 1947, a young and green Ronald Reagan appeared before the House Committee on Un-American Activities. He was pres- ident of the Screen Actors Guild. His youth was not lost on Newsweek, which said that Reagan looked so boyish that when he stood to speak the room was filled with “oh’s and ah’s,” especially from the contingent of star-struck girls who came to ogle him. By all accounts, from left to right, Reagan’s testimony was mature. He was first questioned by Robert Stripling, the House Committee’s tough chief investigator, and then by Chairman J. Parnell Thomas. Reagan did remarkably well under the lights, cameras, and intense pressure. In fact, Chairman Thomas immediately followed Reagan’s closing by conceding: “We agree with that. Thank you very much.” At the other end of the spectrum, among liberals, James Loeb, executive secretary of Americans for Democratic Action (ADA), dubbed Reagan’s testimony “by all odds, the most honest and forthright,” saying he was “really magnificent.” Loeb called Reagan “the hero” of the Washington hearings. This, too, was a decisive marker in Reagan’s ultimate political rise. We watch the footage in every documentary on Reagan—as we will Paul Ryan’s trial with Joe Biden. If Barack Obama ultimately loses the presidency, this will have been Joe Biden’s swan song, but not before leaving us with one for the history books. It will be remembered not just in Biden lore but in the life and path of Paul Ryan. And, in the end, Ryan’s performance will be remembered much more fondly.

Lopez Publisher Stephanie Filson Managing Editor �Wednesday, October 17, 2012 The Daily Sentinel • Page 5 www.mydailysentinel.com URG student seeking info on historical activist visit Staff Report, mdtnews@mydailytribune.com RIO GRANDE — More than 40 years ago, famed social activist and politician Abbie Hoffman paid a visit to the University of Rio Grande/Rio Grande Community College to meet with students and faculty. Hoffman was a powerful national figure in the 1960s and 1970s, and today a Rio Grande student is researching Hoffman’s visit to campus in the hopes of creating a theatrical production based on the visit. Lucas Lawrence, who is a sophomore from Patriot, is working on the project with Greg Miller, Ph.D., director of cultural advancement at Rio Grande. In 1969, Hoffman was in Ohio for a student rally at Antioch College, Miller explained. A Rio Grande traveled to Antioch College hoping to see Hoffman and to attempt to talk the social activist into visiting Rio Grande. Hoffman agreed to come to campus with the student, and then spent the night at Rio Grande. Lawrence has read about Hoffman’s visit to campus, and he is now looking for any alumni or area residents who might have met Hoffman during his time at Rio Grande. He wants to hear about what the students, faculty or area residents of the time may have thought of Hoffman during his time on campus, and he would like to learn more about the visit. Depending on the information he receives, Lawrence is then hoping to turn the stories from alumni and area residents into a theatrical production. Any dates for such a production will be publicized at a later date. Rio Grande has been able to successfully create several other theatrical productions in this manner recently. The show, “That Was Bob,” for example, is based on stories from family members and friends of the late Bob Evans. Currently, Lawrence is working with the title of “The Night Abbie Hoffman Spent at Rio Grande,” for his show, but the McCain sees close race in Ohio for Romney COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — A freshfaced Barack Obama buried Republican John McCain in anti-incumbent sentiment four years ago. Now the 2008 presidential nominee says it’s the president’s turn to feel the heat. In a telephone interview Tuesday during a campaign swing through Ohio, McCain recalled that “with some legitimacy, Barack Obama hung the Bush record around my neck.” The Arizona senator said turnabout is fair play. “Now this is the president, incumbent who said if the deficit wasn’t cut in half he shouldn’t run again. This is the president that said that if we pass the stimulus package that unemployment would be less than 6 percent,” he said. “This is the president who we just found out has not shown leadership in the Middle East to the degree where the attack on our U.S. consulate in Libya has turned into a major scandal.” Obama and his administration have struggled to explain the circumstances that led to an attack on the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi, Libya, that killed four Americans, including U.S. Ambassador Chris Stevens. On Tuesday, Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton said it was her responsibility, not the White House’s, to keep the consulate safe. McCain said his successor as Republican nominee, former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney, is justified in highlighting the Obama administration’s failings for voters. He named the situa- tion in Libya and a still-struggling U.S. economy as prime targets. Though the national unemployment rate has fallen to 7.8 percent since the last presidential debate, its first dip below 8 percent in 43 months, McCain said jobs still resonate as an issue with voters in the political battleground of Ohio. “Although the economy of Ohio has been improving, it’s still a long way from what I think most of the citizens would think is satisfactory,” he said. Both presidential campaigns are fighting fiercely for Ohio, a closely divided swing state that Obama won by nearly 5 percentage points in 2008. Romney and running mate Paul Ryan have accelerated their Ohio campaigning in the past two weeks. One or both will have led rallies in seven of the last 10 days by Wednesday, when Ryan is scheduled to appear at Baldwin Wallace University in the Cleveland suburb of Fairview Park. Obama is headed to another campus, Ohio University in Athens, on Wednesday — his third time in the state this month. First Lady Michelle Obama has also visited Ohio twice this month, and Vice President Joe Biden is headed back next week. McCain stopped short of predicting a Romney win — in Ohio, or nationally — but noted that polls are tightening. “I can draw a scenario where Mitt Romney can win without Ohio, but it’s a very, very difficult path,” he said. “And so I think the eyes of the world will be on Ohio and, from the polling that I see — and this is obviously a very dynamic situation — we could be up late.” McCain said he fully expects Obama to “do much, much better” in the second debate than he did facing Romney the first time. “This is a very articulate president; he has a lot of charisma and Americans like him,” he said. “So I would be astonished if he doesn’t do a lot better in this debate, but he still has the problem of defending a record that is impossible to defend.” Romney’s fate in Ohio could be pivotal for Republican Senate nominee Josh Mandel, the state treasurer trying to unseat Democrat Sherrod Brown. War hero McCain has endorsed Mandel, a two-tour U.S. Marine, and was in the state for a fundraiser with the candidate in the northwest Ohio city of Findlay. Pinning the “career politician” label on Brown, a veteran congressman, has been one of Mandel’s campaign strategies. McCain said it’s a hazard all incumbents face. “Look, all’s fair. I’m not complaining about it, but I found myself in a position (in 2008) where I was having to defend President Bush, as well as my own vision for America,” he recalled. “And on Sept. 15, when the stock market went down 700 points, we went down dramatically as well.” Ohio school, district ratings nearing release COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Officials have rescheduled the release of Ohio school and district ratings that have been delayed amid a statewide review of student-attendance data. The Ohio Department of Educa- tion now tentatively plans to release the report cards Wednesday. Results are still considered preliminary as Ohio Auditor Dave Yost investigates enrollment and attendance irregularities around the state. The Ohio Board of Education voted to release the eagerly-awaited information, in part because Election Day is approaching and many districts are pursuing levy and bond issues. The reports are normally published in August. A department spokesman said the information will not be presented with the charts, graphs and other visual elements that districts and families have come to expect. Results will be listed in a simple spreadsheet for now. title may develop along with the story as he hears from different alumni and area residents. The visit to campus made an impression on Hoffman, as he mentions it in his book, “Woodstock Nation,” and it likely made an impression on several Rio Grande alumni and area residents. Anyone who would like to share their stories with Lawrence, or anyone who would like more information on the project is invited to call Greg Miller at 1-800-282-7201 or send him an e-mail at gmiller@rio.edu.

Police question two at Pakistani girl’s hospital BIRMINGHAM, England (AP) — British police have questioned two people who tried to visit a hospitalized Pakistani teenager shot for promoting girls’ education, raising fears about her safety following pledges by the Taliban to make another attempt on her life. Fourteen-year-old Malala Yousufzai was shot in the head by the Taliban last week as she was returning home from school in Pakistan. She was airlifted Monday to Britain to receive specialized medical care and protection from follow-up attacks threatened by the militants. Medical Director Dr. Dave Rosser of the Queen Elizabeth Hospital in Birmingham stressed Tuesday that security was “under control” at the hospital after the overnight incident. He said several people had turned up at the hospital claiming to be the girl’s relatives but didn’t get very far. He said the people were arrested, but police said they had only been questioned. “We don’t believe there’s any threat to her personal security,” Rosser told journalists, explaining the hospital did not believe the suspects were related to Malala. “We think it’s probably people being over-curious.” Police would not immediately confirm the details of the incident. Malala was targeted by the Taliban for promoting girls’ education and criticizing the militant group’s behavior when they took over the scenic Swat Valley where she lived. Two of her classmates were also wounded in the attack and are receiving treatment in Pakistan. The attack on the girls horrified people in Pakistan and across the world. Pakistani President Asif Ali Zardari said Malala had become “a symbol of all that is good in us.” “The work she did is far higher before God than that which is being done by terrorists in the name of religion,” he said at the Economic Cooperation Organization Summit in Baku, the capital of Azerbaijan. “We will continue her bright work.” Pakistani Interior Minister Rehman Malik has announced a $1 million bounty for Pakistani Taliban spokesman Ahsanullah Ahsan, saying he was the one who announced that the Taliban carried out the attack on Malala. The Taliban has threatened to target Malala until she is killed because she promotes “Western thinking.” Rosser said Malala is proving to be strong so far, but did not elaborate about her recovery. Doctors are optimistic that Malala’s age is in her favor. Unlike adults, the brains of teenagers are still growing and better able to adapt to trauma. Teens also are generally healthier and their bodies have a stronger ability to react to the disruption that the injury causes, said Dr. Jonathan Fellus, chief scientific officer at the New Jersey-based International Brain Research Foundation. “It helps to be young and resilient to weather that storm,” he said. “Because her brain is continuing to develop at that age, she may have more flexibility in the brain.” There’s also a psychological aspect to why youngsters have a better shot at recovery. While injured adults often mourn the loss of what they had, teens don’t know what they are missing. “They have an amazing capacity for hope,” Fellus said. In Malala’s case, her strong personality would also help her recover, he added. Still, doctors cautioned that it is impossible to say how Malala will do without knowing the path of the bullet and what damages it caused, details that have not been released. “The brain is like real estate,” said Dr. Anders Cohen, chief of neurosurgery at The Brooklyn Hospital Center in New York. “Location is everything. “Based on the information we have, it appears that Malala was shot from the front down diagonally, but we don’t know what part of the brain the bullet went through, whether it crossed the midline and hit any vessels, or whether the bullet passed through the right or left side of the brain.” But both physicians say it is extremely unlikely that a full recovery can be made. They could only hope that the bullet took a “lucky path” — going through a more “silent,” or less active — part of the brain. “You don’t have a bullet go through your brain and have a full recovery,” Fellus said. Cuba to let islanders travel freely HAVANA (AP) — The Cuban government announced Tuesday that it will no longer require islanders to apply for an exit visa, eliminating a muchloathed bureaucratic procedure that for more than half-century has been a major impediment for many seeking to travel overseas. A notice published in Communist Party newspaper Granma said that as of Jan. 14, islanders will only have to show their passport and a visa from the country they are traveling to. It is the most significant advance this year in President Raul Castro’s fiveyear plan of reforms that has already seen the legalization of home and car sales and a big increase in the number of Cubans owning private businesses. “These measures are truly substantial and profound,” said Col. Lamberto Fraga, Cuba’s deputy chief of immigration, at a morning news conference. “What we are doing is not just cosmetic, and requires 90 days to properly establish a series of regulations … so it works well and there are no problems.” 60361276 �The Daily Sentinel Sports WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 17, 2102 mdssports@heartlandpublications.com Surrendering big plays, points, alarms OSU’s Meyer COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Urban Meyer met with his defensive coaches and players on Sunday. He wasn’t handing out compliments. “I’m not happy at all with what’s going on on defense,” the Ohio State coach said a day later. “That includes players, coaches. We can all get better. It’s a team effort.” The Buckeyes (7-0, 3-0 Big Ten) kept their record clean even though the defense was gashed for 49 points, 481 yards and a staggering 18 plays that picked up at least 10 yards in a narrow 52-49 win at Indiana on Saturday. “To go out and give up 49 points against Indiana was just embarrassing to us,” cornerback Travis Howard said. “We all feel depressed about it.” Meyer called it “absurd” how many big gainers his defense surrendered and vowed to get more involved on that side of the ball. It sounded for all the world like an “or else” to both the current defensive starters — who may find themselves not playing unless the new head man sees change soon — or his assistants on that side of the ball. “We’re going to demand 4 to 6 seconds of relentless pursuit and effort,” Meyer said. Then, he added, “If you don’t, I’ll be involved in that.” Meyer declined to offer excuses, even though several players are out with injuries. The Buckeyes don’t have linebacker Etienne Sabino, sidelined for several weeks with a broken leg, and didn’t have defensive lineman/outside linebacker Nathan Williams at Indiana. He didn’t make the trip but is expected to return this week for the game against Purdue at Ohio Stadium. Ohio State’s defense looked lost at times on defense, repeatedly giving up yardage in clumps. Where missed tackles in the open field was a huge problem in past games, at times against the Hoosiers it was as if the Buckeyes didn’t have a clue how to stop the Hoosiers’ spread attack — which threw more down the field than flipping short screen passes. Defensive coordinator Luke Fickell, the beleaguered interim head coach a year ago during a woeful 6-7 season, hinted at two problems. First, the Buckeyes lack a distinct leader of the defense along the lines of former players such as James Laurinaitis, A.J. Hawk and Matt Wilhelm. They were middle linebackers who called signals, made plays and were savvy enough to cover up mistakes by others. If a quarterback slipped containment, they could close the deal by bringing him down. If a back found a hole and appeared to have daylight, they might rush to the spot and slow him down until help arrived. “Are we lacking a little bit of that? Yeah. Sabino went down and maybe that’s See MEYER ‌| 10 Alex Hawley | Daily Register Southern junior Baylee Hupp (19) attempts a spike along side teammate Jansen Wolfe during Monday night’s SHS victory over Belpre in Racine. Lady Tornadoes bounce Belpre, advance to sectional final Alex Hawley ahawley@heartlandpublications.com RACINE, Ohio — The Southern volleyball team will be advancing to the sectional final after defeating Belpre in three games Monday night in Charles W. Hayman Gymnasium. The Lady Tornadoes took the first game of the night 25-10, before taking the second game 26-24 and the third game 25-23. Jansen Wolfe led the SHS service attack with 11 points, followed by Katie Jenkins and Alison Deem with nine points apiece. Baylee Hupp had eight points, Darien Diddle recorded seven, and Jordan Huddleston closed out the Lady Tornadoes scoring with five points. Hupp and Celestia Hendrix had five kills to pace the Lady Tornadoes at the net, while Wolfe, Diddle and Huddleston each had four. Hannah Hill, Madison May- nard and Deem each finished with one kill. Wolfe led Southern with 10 assists on the night, followed by Jenkins had nine. Huddleston led SHS with 16 digs, while Wolfe had two blocks to led the net defense. Diddle and Maynard each finished with one block. Cheyenne Henderson led the Lady Golden Eagles with 15 service points, while Brianna Owen had seven. Loren Elliott and Kirsten Hannah each finished with three points, Taryn Carr had two and Netanya Wagenheim finished with one point to close out the BHS total. Belpre’s net attack was led by Carr with nine kills, while Owen had 14 assists on the night. The Lady Tornadoes are now 3-0 against Belpre this season. Southern will be looking for its first sectional title since 2005 Thursday when the Lady Tornadoes travel to face Eastern.

Lady Rebels advance to D-4 sectional final Bryan Walters bwalters@heartlandpublications.com MERCERVILLE, Ohio — For the second consecutive year, the South Gallia volleyball team earned a postseason win in its home finale following a 25-3, 25-16, 25-5 decision over visiting Ironton Saint Joseph Monday night in a Division IV sectional semifinal contest in Gallia County. The host Lady Rebels (13-9) — who last year captured the program’s first-ever sectional title with a 15-25, 25-17, 25-7, 25-10 over Southern — had little trouble with the 11th-seeded Lady Flyers, who managed just 24 points in the straight-game setback. South Gallia — a six-seed — accumulated 29 kills and 24 aces in the triumph, which advanced the Red and Gold to the sectional final at 6 p.m. Thursday against thirdseeded Waterford. WHS (18-4), which will host the contest, swept the season series by margins of 259, 25-10, 25-13 at home and 25-16, 25-12, 25-18 at South Gallia. The Lady Rebels also had a pair of seniors reach individual milestones, as Meghan Caldwell and Ellie Bostic respectively picked up their 800th and 500th kills of the careers. SGHS called timeout after each occasion for an brief acknowledgement from the home crowd. South Gallia never trailed in Game 1 after establish an early 6-0 lead, then Shelby Sanders served up 13 consecutive points for a 20-2 advantage. The hosts completed the opener with a 5-1 run to wrap up the 22-point outcome. Game 2, however, proved to be a little tougher, particularly early on. There were six ties and seven lead changes overall, and St. Joe claimed its biggest lead of the night at 7-4. After winning back the serve, Caldwell hammered down See FINAL ‌| 10 Defense in the Big 12? It happens DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — Few teams in the Big 12 go into a league game expecting a defensive slugfest. But old-school defense is making a comeback, at least among teams with realistic shots at the league title. All five Big 12 teams that won Saturday held their opponents far below their season average for points. In fact, none of them allowed the opposition to score more than 21 points. That includes Texas Tech, which grabbed everyone’s attention and jumped back into the rankings by stuffing high-powered West Virginia in a 49-14 blowout win. “We play hard. (Defensive coordinator) Art Kaufman and his coaches have done a good job of sticking with fundamentals,” Texas Tech coach Tommy Tuberville said. “For the first six games we haven’t done anything exotic. We just teach the same things each week and we’ve gotten better at it.” The 18th-ranked Red Raiders (5-1, 2-1) are flourishing under Kaufman, a newcomer to the coaching staff who has worked wonders with a unit previously marked by instability. Kaufman is the fourth defensive coordinator in four years at Texas Tech and the third new one in a row for Tuberville. But the Red Raiders have been strong on defense all season, and on Saturday they held quarterback Geno Smith to a completion percentage of 52.7 — nearly 30 points lower than his average over his first five games. Texas Tech is second in the Big 12 at 16.3 points allowed per game, an astounding 23 points better than last year. “One thing that he’s brought to the table is just a sense of patience and understanding of you can only go so far in a short period of time,” Tuberville said of Kaufman. “He teaches hand placement. He teaches how to play with our eyes and he teaches gap control. And we haven’t gone beyond that.” TCU (5-1, 2-1) has the league’s top defense. It bounced back Saturday from a home loss to Iowa State with a surprisingly easy road victory over Baylor and its explosive offense. The Bears racked up 432 yards in just over 18 minutes of possession. But the Horned Frogs forced six Baylor turnovers, including four interceptions of Bears senior Nick Florence, in a 49-21 victory.

You might consider writing down your dreams, as that also could lead you to what you want. Be aware of a heightened sensitivity involving your intuition, and note any premonitions you get as a result. If you are single, you could meet someone in your day-to-day travels. Know that you don’t need to play “cat and mouse” with this person. If you are attached, the two of you like to spend time indulging in a favorite pastime or two. SCORPIO has an intensity that draws you in. 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 Reach out to others. Those who are wise seek feedback in order to test out an idea. During this process, an even better idea might pop up. Do not allow your ego to get involved if someone has sounder concepts than you; instead, welcome them. Brainstorm away! Tonight: Your instincts could mislead you. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHHHH Relate to others directly, and know what it is that you desire. Friends and/or loved ones might think they know what they want, but in reality, their ideas come across garbled. If they allow it, you will need to help these individuals organize their thoughts in a way that makes more sense. Tonight: The only answer is “yes.” GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHHH Defer to others, and make it a point to let them know that you trust them to make good choices. Then step back and observe. You might be clearing up a disagreement or power play now that they can see what it is like to run the show. Tonight: Say “yes” to someone. CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHH All work and no play is not a healthy lifestyle. More than other signs, you have a tendency to swing from one emotional extreme to the other. You need to maintain a healthy amount of physical activity, as that is the key to keeping your stress level down. You might feel uneasy about an upcoming trip or a call coming in. Tonight: Work on getting physical. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHHH You often exude confidence, yet right now, you are working on a faulty premise for which you do not have all the facts. It is likely that you could be hearing only what you want to hear without realizing it. Center yourself, and go back over an important decision in your mind. Tonight: Happy at home. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHHH Listen to news from someone who has easy access to you. You’ll want to rethink a decision involving a partner. You might not be seeing the whole picture or the people involved clearly. You can only come from your own perspective. Let a friend play devil’s advocate. Tonight: Hang out with your pals. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHH News heads your way that involves your finances or an offer pertaining to money. Though the other person might have good intentions, there could be a last-minute hassle or problem that arises. Do not spend funds before you get them. Tonight: Do your thing. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHH You enjoy the dreamlike mood you are in, yet you might not be as realistic as you would like to be. Consider the possibility that a risk could backfire and leave you feeling unhappy. Use your dreams as a starting point to build from, but use logic to guide you. Tonight: Treat yourself on the way home. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHHH Use your energy in the most effective way you can. The Moon highlights you, which makes nearly anything possible. You would be well advised to try to deal with everything except a domestic or property-related matter. You could have a last-minute problem. Tonight: Do absolutely what you want. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHH Allow yourself to loosen up more. If you have an idea or a wish that has been floating around in your mind, bring it forth now. Come up with a plan for how you can make it a reality. Talk to a trusted friend who might be unusually resourceful. Tonight: You might want some downtime. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHHH Emphasize what you want. A meeting could be particularly important in completing a project. You might have more supportive friends than you realize. Look around and ask for some feedback. Use caution with your money, and refuse to make any agreements today. Tonight: Where the crowds are. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHH Be discreet, especially if you are confused right now. How you handle a difficult situation could change given some time. Nevertheless, you have to take the lead on a project, like it or not. Do not make any over-thetop comments involving commitment. Tonight: Into the wee hours.

Meyer From Page 6 something that we don’t have right now,” Fickell said. “That’s one of the big things we’re trying to find: Who’s that leader, who’s that guy that doesn’t just worry about themselves but can make the others around him better?” Meyer has said that of the last 10 linebackers Ohio State has recruited, only two or three are still playing due to injuries, transfers or other problems. Ohio State has tried to hurry freshmen into the picture at linebacker, but for the most part they have been ineffective. First-year players Connor Crowell, Camren Williams and David Perkins are listed as backups, with Josh Perry starting alongside Ryan Shazier and either Storm Klein or Zach Boren. Last Wednesday Boren was moved from fullback, where he had played for 3 seasons, to linebacker. Such a stopgap move — particularly on an unbeaten team in the Top 10 — is almost unheard of. It all relates to the fact that the young players have not contributed. “We’re counting on some really, truly young guys to have to step up and maybe they’re not quite ready yet,” Fickell conceded. Meyer, who preaches the gospel of the spread offense, is clearly pleased that his offense has put up 115 points in its last two games. But he also knows that successful programs don’t survive for long by playing great on only one side of the ball. “The (teams) that get to where the air is rarified, the real elite teams, (know) that at some point you have to play some really good defense. And they all do,” Meyer said. “The top two right now are Alabama and Florida, the two best defenses in America — and it’s not by accident they’re 1-2” in the Bowl Championship Series rankings. Meyer, who won two national championships at Florida with high-scoring spread offenses, added, “The great teams we’ve had over the years, yeah, we scored some points. But at the end of the day, defense wins games.” The Buckeyes recognize their inability to stop an Indiana team that is winless in a weakened Big Ten. “We just had a horrible game. I’m not saying anything bad about Indiana, but I just feel that we should not have gone out like that,” Shazier said. “We gave up too many yards, too many points. We have way better players than we showed. Nobody played to their standards.” Meyer sounds like a man willing to try anything to alleviate more nightmares like Saturday night, when the Buckeyes had a 52-34 lead and the ball with 4 minutes left — and still needed to recover an onside kick just to hang on for the win. “Instead of just complaining and whining and making noise, we have to put a plan together to eliminate big plays,” Meyer said. “I’m not a big believer in screaming and yelling and throwing Gatorade bottles against the wall. “Sometimes you have to do that, however, to fix the problem.” Defense From Page 6 Horned Frogs are among five Big 12 teams allowing fewer than 18 points per game. It’s no surprise that league leader Kansas State (6-0, 3-0) is also on that list. The Wildcats have allowed just 21 points in their last six quarters. After shutting out rival Kansas in the second half of a 5616 thrashing, Kansas State held Iowa State to just seven points in the second half DAILY SENTINEL, SUNDAY SENTINEL, TRIBUNE AND REGISTER on Saturday and stuffed the Cyclones on fourth-down tries twice in the final five minutes.

Oklahoma fell off the national radar a bit after it lost at home to Kansas State a few weeks back. The Sooners seem to have sorted things out in part because of a defense strengthened by the arrival of defensive coordinator Mike Stoops. Oklahoma (4-1, 2-1) allowed just 20 and 21 points respectively in wins over Tech and Texas, and that includes three touchdowns let up by the Sooners backups in garbage time. “It’s been our belief that you don’t play good defense by trying to fool people or trying to blitz,” Oklahoma coach Bob Stoops said. “We pick our times when we do change up or blitz or what not. But we’re counting on our technique and our fundamentals and playing good solid defense to win for us.” Final 4.

It came Saturday — and West Virginia let up 676 yards. “I don’t think anybody across the country in the history of football is able to put up the kind of numbers that we were on a very, very, very consistent basis,” coach Dana Holgorsen said. “We’ve got to be able to win some games on other areas of the field as well, such as special teams and defense.” her 800th kill to spark a 5-0 run for a 9-7 edge. The Lady Flyers battled back to claim an 11-10 edge, but Caldwell ripped off eight straight service points to turn an 11-all game into a 19-11 SGHS cushion. The Lady Rebels ultimately led by as much as 24-13 before claiming the nine-point decision. There were three ties and four lead changes in the finale, and the last tie came at five-all. Sara Bailey served up the final 19 points of the game to wrap up the straightgame decision. Bostic’s 500th kill came in the middle of that run at 18-5. Miscellaneous Bailey led the service attack with 22 points and 10 aces, followed by Shelby Sanders with 13 points and three aces. Caldwell added 12 points and two aces, while Bailie Corbin had nine points and six aces. Alicia Hornsby contributed three points and two aces to the winning cause, while Brynn Adams had two points and one ace. Bostic led the net attack with 12 kills, followed by Caldwell with six and Adams with five. Courtney Haner had three kills, Sanders added two kills and Bailey also had one kill for the hosts. Hannah Miller led Ironton Saint Joseph with seven service points. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
