Obama campaigns at Ohio University
Sarah Hawley

Sarah Hawley | Daily Sentinel

President Barack Obama speaks
before a crowd of 14,000 on
Wednesday evening on Ohio University’s College Green in Athens.

ATHENS — “Don’t boo,
vote.”
That was part of the message delivered by President
Barack Obama on Wednesday
evening before a confirmed
crowd of 14,000 on Ohio University’s College Green in uptown Athens.
“I came here today because
I heard you’ve got a pretty fun
football team to watch,” said
Obama as the crowd erupted
in applause. “Undefeated, if
I’m not mistaken. A shot at the
MAC Championship. Maybe a
BCS bid.”

“I also came here today,
Ohio, because I want your
vote,” he added. “I want your
vote. I am not too proud to
beg. I want you to vote.”
Obama noted voters in the
state of Ohio can vote now,
and encouraged everyone to
vote.
Speaking of Tuesday night’s
debate, Obama said, “there
are a couple of things that I
noticed that keeps on recurring in this debate and during
the course of this campaign.
Governor Romney continues
to run around talking about
his five-point plan for the
economy.”
The crowd booed the men-

tion of Romney’s plan, prompting Obama to say, “don’t boo,
vote.” A statement he would
make each time the crowd
would boo.
“We cannot grow this
economy from the top down,”
stated Obama. “We grow it
from the middle out. We’re
not going backwards, we’re
going forward. That’s why I’m
running for a second term for
President, and that’s why I
want your vote!”
“He’s got a tax plan that
doesn’t add up. He’s got a
jobs plan that doesn’t create
jobs. He’s got a deficit plan
that doesn’t reduce the deficit,” Obama said, recapping

the Romney policies he spoke
about.
“You’ve heard of the New
Deal, Ohio. You’ve heard of the
Fair Deal. Mitt Romney’s trying to sell you a Sketchy Deal.
But we’re not buying it. We
know better, because this is
the same sketchy deal that we
were sold back in the previous
administration. We tried it. It
didn’t work. We’re not going
back. We’re moving forward.
I need you to finish what we
started.That’s why I’m asking
for your vote. That’s why I’m
running for a second term as
President of the United States
of America.”
Promises made and prom-

ises kept by the administration
were noted by Obama and several of those who spoke prior
to the President.
“Last night (Tuesday), the
issue of keeping promises
came up,” he said. “So I had to
remind people, four years ago
I promised to end the war in
Iraq — and I did.”
“I said we’d end the war in
Afghanistan — and we are.
“I said we’d refocus on the
terrorists who actually attacked us on 9/11 — and bin
Laden is dead.”
“Four years ago, I promised
to cut taxes for middle-class

Farm Bureau discusses state issues

MIDDLEPORT — Several resolutions of
interest to those in the farming community,
including one relating to a reduction in the
estate tax exemption, were passed at the
annual meeting of the Meigs County Farm
Bureau meeting held Monday night at the
Middleport Masonic Lodge.
In the meeting following a dinner, members were asked to encourage an extension
of the current estate tax exemption of $5
million. It was noted that without congressional action this will shrink to $1 million
per person with no spousal transfer, and the
top rate would increase to 55 percent, striking a blow to farmers and ranchers trying to
transition from one generation to the next.
Another resolution passed by the group
called for opposition of Issue 2 which if
passed would change the way congressional
and state legislative districts are drawn.

POINT PLEASANT —
Pleasant Valley Hospital, and
all its properties, will be going tobacco free on Thursday,
Nov. 15 — the Great American
Smokeout Day.
In this day and age, it’s more
unusual for health care facilities, as well as businesses, not
to be smoke and tobacco free
due to the documented health
and safety risks of smoking.
PVH will step up to join
these smoke-free entities
which serve the public by banning all tobacco from the hospital and its ancillary facilities.
This initiative will include the
elimination of designated areas
outside these locations where
employees, patients and visitors are currently permitted to
use tobacco products.
“As a health care organization, we are committed to the
health and safety of our employees and patients,” Tom
Schauer, CEO said. “We believe that we have a responsibility to take a leadership role
on this major health issue, and
establishing our entire campus and ancillary facilities as
tobacco-free firmly supports
that belief.”
According to Tracy Stewart
Call, director of community relations for PVH, the hospital’s
decision to go tobacco free is
not an attempt to force anyone
to quit using tobacco products.

“Rather, the tobacco-free initiative is a concrete way we can
support our employees who
do not smoke and those who
may attempt to quit as well as
demonstrate our overall commitment to healthy living,”
Call said.
“We are providing opportunities for our employees who
do smoke to participate in
smoking cessation classes. Additionally, we are making FDA
approved cessation products
available to them in our pharmacy and gift shop.”
Of course change does not
always come easily. Call said
the hospital’s security staff is
working with a public relations
representative from the local
police department to provide
expert guidance on how best
to communicate the message.
“In particular, how best to
communicate with those who
may be in violation of our
tobacco-free policy,” Call said.
“Likewise, directors and managers are being trained to deliver our tobacco-free message
in a non-confrontational manner. A physician once told me
as hard as it is to quit smoking
and the use of tobacco products, it is even harder to fight
cancer.”
As PVH joins other hospitals across West Virginia and
the United States by going
tobacco free, Call said: “This
initiative is consistent with our
commitment to the promotion
of living a healthier life.”

Scott observes
107th birthday
Speaker at the Farm Bureau annual meeting was Paul Lyons, OFBF supervisor.

Painting Point Pink:

MIDDLEPORT — Kathleen Scott was “Queen for the
Day” at the Overbrook Rehab Center’s annual Fall Festival.
Celebrating her 107th birthday on Oct. 6, she is the oldest resident of Overbrook and one of the oldest residents
of Meigs County. Wearing a crown she was honored by her
family, friends, staff and residents of Overbrook. A decorated cake and other refreshments were served.
Mrs. Scott had a very active life in the community where
she lived until about a year ago. She is a member of the
Forest Run Methodist Church where at 16 years old she
became the church pianist, a position she held until earlier
this year. She was also an active member of the church’s
quilting group for many years.

Walk raises breast cancer awareness
OHIO VALLEY — A large group
of people who belong to the club
nobody ever wants to join recently
gathered to raise breast cancer
awareness during the Third Annual
Walk for Women in Point Pleasant.
The Walk for Women, sponsored
by the Mason County Community
Educational Outreach Service Clubs
(CEOS), raised over $4,000 for the
West Virginia Breast and Cervical
Cancer Diagnostic Fund.
Survivors were given pink carnations and an honorary place at the
start of the walk where Marilyn

Higginbotham, breast cancer survivor and member of the Pleasant
CEOS Club, cut the ribbon. As soon
as Higginbotham cut the ribbon, a
throng of people in pink filed down
Main Street, following the route
which took a turn at First St. and rerouted the walkers back to Fifth St.
to complete the course.
As the walkers arrived back to
their starting place, many didn’t
notice two were still walking the
course at their own pace, including

Other resolutions dealt with holding
elected officials of Meigs County to
budgetary requirements of their office,
and to encourage continuation of forceful action to alleviate drug problems in
the county.
On the state level, the resolutions
passed by the Farm Bureau members
called for accessibility for a countywide
phone system, for finding solutions to
undocumented immigrant workers,
and to encourage legislators to search
for a more equitable solution to adequately fund schools.
On the national level, the resolutions called for legislation to support
the Corps of Engineers in efforts to
stabilize eroding areas along the Ohio
River, and to find a more equitable and
affordable resolution to the health care
cost crisis.
Speaking briefly at the meeting on
legislative issues was Congressman
Bill Johnson of the 6th District, who is
seeking re-election in the Nov. 6 election.
Representative Debbie Phillips who
is seeking re-election in the 94th District and numerous local candidates
were introduced during the meeting.
Rex Shenefield extended the welcome after which Sharon Jewell gave
the secretary’s report, and Jack Carsey,
the treasurer’s report. Jeff Warner gave
a report on Farm Bureau benefits, and
several others spoke including Paul

cancer survivor Anna Dunlap
of Leon. Though Higginbotham and Dunlap started the
race at the front of the line, it
didn’t seem to matter to them
how they finished, only that
they finished.
Dunlap, a survivor of multiple types of cancers, walked
alongside her daughter Dorothy and had to stop a few times
along the route. Still, Anna was
determined to finish and finish she did even though when
she arrived back at the starting
point, she had to use her oxygen — reminding all who took
a moment to notice, what it
means to persevere.
As for Higginbotham, she
was accompanied along the
route by fellow Pleasant CEOS
Club Members Ann Byus
and Yvonne Fetty. With Byus
and Fetty at her side, Higginbotham steadily made her
way along the course. As she
walked, she shared she was a
20-year breast cancer survivor.
She said when she was first
diagnosed, she didn’t want to
take chemotherapy but her
doctor told her if she didn’t,
she’d die. So, she accepted
what was in front of her and
like so many other women, did

what she needed to do to get
another day, until those days
had added up to 20 years and
counting. She is quick to say
“praise the Lord” for a higher
power seeing her through it all.
She also said it was important
to talk about breast cancer and
get the word out about treatments — spreading the word
also spreads the success stories
of the women it affects.
Of course, not all stories involving breast cancer end on
a happy note which is why the
need to find a cure, and raising money for that cure, is essential. Before the race began,
walkers heard from Wendy
Lilly, founder of Charlie’s Angels, a local advocacy group
that promotes breast cancer
awareness and raises funds to
fight the disease. Lilly spoke
to those gathered about her

In addition, an invocation
from Pastor Boxer Swisher was
given and the Kountry Kritters

integral to the walk, the assistance of the Mason County
Health Department and staff.

Athens while in office. Eight
other former Presidents have
visited Athens either before or
after taking office, including
Bill Clinton, Jimmy Carter,
Dwight D. Eisenhower, John
F. Kennedy, Warren G. Harding, Theodore Roosevelt, William Howard Taft, and William
McKinley.
Obama has traveled to Ohio
31 times since the start of his
Presidency, with 16 of those
trips coming in 2012.
Vice President Joe Biden
campaigned in Athens just
six weeks ago. The trip by the
President further highlights
the importance of Ohio in the
upcoming election.
The Ohio University Marching Band performed prior to
the event as the crowd began
to gather. Athens Mayor Paul
Wiehl welcomed all those attending and Marietta Mayor
Joe Matthews led the Pledge of
Allegiance.

Rabbi Daniele Leshaw, Hillel Director at Ohio University
gave the invocation. Ohio University student Gabrielle Giebel sang the National Anthem
followed by remarks by Obama
for American Regional Field
Director in Southeast Ohio Justin Koehler.
Former Ohio Governor
spoke to the crowd in support
of not only Obama, but democrats Sherrod Brown, Lou Gentile, and Yvette McGee Brown.
Obama was introduced by
Shannon Welch, President of
the OU College Democrats.
Welch noted the importance
of the things Obama has done
during his first term, including
Obamacare and increasing Pell
Grants.
Editor’s note: The crowd
count was confirmed by Chief
Robert Troxel with the City
of Athens Fire Department
according to a release by the
Obama campaign.

families — and we have, by
$3,600.”
“I promised to cut taxes for
small business owners — and
we have, 18 times.”
“I said we’d put an end to
taxpayer-funded bailouts. We
got every dime back that we
used to rescue the banks and
we passed a law to end those
bailouts for good.”
“As Shannon just told you, I
promised to pass health reform
so that your insurance companies can’t jerk you around, so
that young people can stay on
their parent’s plan until they’re
26 — so that people with preexisting conditions can get
health insurance — so that
women aren’t being charged
more than men for the same
insurance.”
“I promised we’d repeal
‘don’t ask, don’t tell’ — because
my attitude is anybody who’s
willing to serve our military
and sacrifice for us, it shouldn’t
matter who they love.
“Four years ago, I said I
would do everything I could,
every single day, to dig us out
of the hole we were left. And
because of the incredible resilience of the American people,
four years after the worst economic crisis of our lifetimes,
we are moving forward again.
We were losing 800,000 jobs
a month. Now we’ve added
more than 5 million new jobs,
more manufacturing jobs than
any time since the 1990s. The
unemployment rate has fallen
from 10 percent to 7.8 percent.
Foreclosures are at their lowest in five years. Home values
are on the rise. Stock market
has doubled. Manufacturing is
coming back. Assembly lines
are putting folks back to work.

Former Governor Ted Strickland spoke prior to the president,
encouraging support for Obama and other democrats running
in the state.

That’s what we’ve been fighting
for. Those are the promises I’ve
kept,” stated Obama.
Obama spoke about equal
pay for equal work which was
part of the first legislation he
signed after taking office.
“I’ve got two daughters. I
don’t want them paid less than
a man for doing the same job.
And, by the way, men out there,
you don’t want your wives paid
less than a man for the same
job. So this isn’t just a women’s
issue. This is a family issue.
This is a middle-class issue,”
said Obama.
“Governor Romney, for
months, refused to say if he’d
support the law that we signed
that said equal pay for equal
work. Just today, his campaign
admitted, well, he’s never
weighed in on that. Why not?
What’s so hard about weighing in on that? Do you believe
in equal pay for equal work, or
you don’t? I weighed in on it,
because that was the first bill
that I signed, the Lilly Ledbet-

AND REGISTER

ter Fair Pay Act — to make it
easier for women to enforce
their rights to get equal pay for
equal work.”
Obama spoke of the returning troops and the support
which should be given to them
upon their return home.
“When our troops do
come home and take off
those uniforms, they need
to know as long as I’m your
Commander-in-Chief,
we
will sustain the strongest
military in the world, and
we will also make sure those
troops get served as well as
they’ve served us.”
“Nobody who fought for
this country should ever have
to fight for a job, or a roof over
their heads, or the health care
they’ve earned when they come
home. That shouldn’t happen.
That shouldn’t happen.”
Obama concluded by saying
it was people like those in attendance that made the success of
the last four years possible.
“We believe in doing things

for ourselves, but we also believe in doing some things together to make sure this country succeeds. And that’s what
the last campaign was about
in 2008. That’s what this one is
about. But it only happens because of you. You’re the reason
we’ve got a factory worker in
Toledo or Lordstown who lost
his job but now is back on the
line building great cars. You did
that.”
“You’re the reason students
in Akron, or Columbus, or
right here at Ohio University,
can get some help paying for
their college. You’re the reason
why a veteran coming home
suddenly has got a New GI
Bill that allows them to have a
brighter future.”
“That happened because of
you. And only you have got the
power to keep us moving forward. I can’t do it by myself. I
need you. I’m only in Washington because of you.”
“So you can choose the other
guy, who wants to reinstitute
the top-down policies that got
us into this mess — or you can
help us move forward with the
policies that are getting us out
of this mess.”
The crowd, going through
airport like security, began to
fill Ohio University’s College
Green three hours prior to the
scheduled event.
Obama’s speech took place
on the West Portico of Templeton-Blackburn Alumni Memorial Auditorium, the same location as the speech by President
Lyndon B. Johnson on May 7,
1964. Johnson was the last sitting President to visit Athens.

Hoover (Oct. 1932) spoke in

An early retreat? Then you missed out on a comeback
Rusty Miller

AP Sports Writer

Anyone who left the Defiance-Lima Shawnee game
early is kicking themselves.
After Jaylin Thomas ran
for a 55-yard touchdown for
Shawnee and the conversion failed, the Indians led
40-28 with just 1:42 left.
Defiance narrowed the
gap to 40-35 on Joe Keween’s 30-yard scoring pass
to Trey Guilliam with 19
seconds left.
Of course, the Bulldogs

kicked onside and Santana
Villareal recovered.
Keween completed two
passes to get the ball to the
10 with 6 ticks left before
hitting TE Ryan Voll for
the TD with 2.1 seconds
remaining. Austin Hancock
added the PAT in what was
a 42-40 victory for Defiance.
NEVER TOO LATE: After rallying from a 19-point
deficit in the final 6 minutes
to beat Patrick Henry 32-28
a week ago, Bryan beat Lib-

erty Center 14-7 when Austin Schimmoeller hit Sean
Culler with a 20-yard TD
pass with 8 seconds left.
FAST STARTS: Columbiana Crestview had the
ball only 45 seconds of the
first quarter and still led
North Jackson JacksonMilton 28-0 on the way to
a 63-7 win Friday; and Jerry
Brown rushed for three
TDs, Cody Wilson for two
and Dalton Buck for one in
McComb’s win over Arcadia — in the first quarter —

while building a 42-0 lead
on the way to a 64-0 win.
HOOPS TO GRIDIRON: In his first year playing football since he was
a freshman, Jordan Lauf
is making a big impact at
Napoleon. The University
of Toledo basketball recruit set a school record
for touchdown receptions
in a season with 11 after
catching a pair in Friday’s
35-34 overtime win over
Perrysburg in a battle of
state-ranked teams. In that

win Lauf also blocked a
punt to set up one TD and
intercepted a pass to set up
another. The 6-foot-5 Lauf
also punts (37.5 yard average) and kicks off.
FLY LIKE AN EAGLE:
Colby Speice threw for 337
yards and five TDs while
rushing for 61 yards and
two scores in Haviland
Wayne Trace’s 48-35 victory
over Defiance Tinora; Jack
Schaaf of unbeaten Springboro passed for three scores
and ran for three more in

yards and three TDs and
running for another in Xenia’s 55-27 win over West

Canady 13th at state
golf championships

bwalters@heartlandpublications.com

COLUMBUS, Ohio — Gallia Academy senior Rob Canady completed a magnificent prep golf career on Saturday with a 13th-place finish at the 2012 OHSAA Division
II Championships held at the Ohio State University Scarlet
Course in Franklin County.
Canady — a three-time All-Southeastern Ohio Athletic
League performer — carded a two-day score of 164, finishing 13 strokes off the winning tally of 151 posted by Cameron Willis of Eaton. Nick Duffield of Chesapeake and Tripp
French of Dayton Oakwood shared runner-up honors with
matching rounds of 157.
Canady — who was playing in his second straight state
tournament — posted an 84 on Friday in his opening
round, then finished strong with a 9-over par round of 80
on Saturday to complete his Blue Devil career. Canady had
three birdies on the weekend, two of which came in the Friday round. Canady competed against 71 other golfers at the
state event.
As a junior on the GAHS team that finished third at state,
Canady posted a two-day effort of 177 — which earned him
a share of 30th-place overall. That D-2 championship was
held at North Star Golf Resort in Sunbury.
Dayton Oakwood won the D-2 team crown with a twoday tally of 639, followed by Canton Central Catholic with
a runner-up effort of 658. Chagrin Falls (671), Kettering
Archbishop Alter (673) and St. Clairsville (679) rounded
out the top-five spots.
Chesapeake (694) and Unioto (722) — the two southeastern Ohio representatives — respectively finished seventh and 11th out of a dozen teams.
Complete results of the 2012 Division II OHSAA Golf
Championships at the Scarlet Course are available on
the web at ohsaa.org

after serving as the demonstration team for Smart’s session at a Nike Championship Basketball Clinic earlier this month in
Cleveland.

Clinics give URG hoops program exposure
Randy Payton
Special to OVP

RIO GRANDE, Ohio – You won’t
find too many coaches willing to sacrifice precious pre-season workout
time with their teams, but University of Rio Grande men’s basketball
coach Ken French recently decided
to go down the road less traveled.
French, his assistant coaches and
players ventured to Cleveland two
weeks ago to participate in a Nike
Championship Basketball Clinic
hosted at Cuyahoga Heights High
School.
The RedStorm served as the demonstration team for the clinic, which
attracted a number of high-profile
college coaches to serve as featured
speakers to those in attendance.
“Each coach may have a particular
topic, be it individual instruction,
zone offense, shooting, transition
offense or whatever the case might
be. As they take different topics and
cover their particular subject, they
use our players to demonstrate for
all of the coaches attending the clinic,” French said.
The sessions are also filmed for
inclusion on a DVD of the event.
“This was the first time we ever
participated in a clinic in the fall,”
said French. “It took away practice
time – it was three days we weren’t
on the floor for our team stuff – but
our players gained some things…Not
just basketball-wise, but moreso in
terms of team bonding. I think it was
a great experience for our staff, too.
We have a young staff this year and I
think they got a lot out of it as well.”
Junior guard Jermaine Warmack
agreed.
“It’s a great experience,” he said.
“You have a weekend off-campus,
staying in hotels, working with your

boys…It’s also great exposure for Rio
Grande, letting people know who we
are and what we’re about.”
Since French took over as the
head coach of the Rio men’s program, his teams have enjoyed a very
fruitful relationship with the clinic’s
organizers.
The RedStorm have filled the role
of demo team at various clinics in
the eastern, middle and southern
parts of the country over the past
six years. The team visited Pittsburgh, Pa. and Myrtle Beach, S.C.
this spring and are already booked
to return to both sites in the spring
of 2013.
“Obviously, we’ve enjoyed a great
relationship with Championship
Basketball Clinics, Nike and Championship Productions. That relationship in the last six years has just
been unbelievable for our program,
not only in terms of the exposure,
but in the experience that our guys
have each weekend that we work
a clinic being around the coaches
and listening to them share ideas,”
French said. “When your kids get
to be instructed by, arguably, the
greatest college basketball coach of
all-time in Bob Knight, it’s probably
going to be an experience that will
last a lifetime.”
“Coach Knight keeps you on your
toes. He’s funny,” Warmack added.
“The previous times we’ve worked
with him, he’s always complimented
us. That’s a good thing, especially
coming from him.”
Knight is perhaps the most widelyrecognized name of the coaches that
the RedStorm have had the opportunity to work with. The “Who’s Who”
list of instructors also includes the
likes of University of Florida head
coach Billy Donovan, West Virginia
University head coach Bob Huggins,

Virginia Commonwealth’s Shaka
Smart, Butler’s Brad Stevens, Steve
Prohm of Murray State University,
former George Mason University
and current Miami-Fla. Head coach
Jim Larranaga and former NCAA
and NBA coaching great Larry
Brown.
“It’s getting to the point where you
can’t name them all. We’ve worked
with just about everybody who’s associated with Nike and Championship Productions,” said French. “It’s
been great.”
And it doesn’t seem to get old for
guys like Warmack.
“As a player, getting to meet the
high-level Division I coaches has
been a great experience,” he said.
“You get to see how they run their
practices and how they do things.
You hear the different terminology
that they use and you have to stay
on your toes, but it’s really not that
hard. You just have to go out there
and do what they say.”
It’s not all fun and games, though.
After all, the days tend to be long,
the personalities differ from coach
to coach and there is the added
scrutiny which comes with cameras
documenting one’s every move – or
mistake.
“You try not to think too much,”
Warmack said. “You can’t really
worry about everything that’s going on around you. You just have
to focus on what they’re telling
you. It can be a little intimidating,
though.”
“It’s a grind,” French added. “You
have three sessions on Friday, six on
Saturday and two more on Sunday
morning. Some of the speakers are
more demanding than others, so it
can get tough on the guys after a
while. But the experience of it all
more than makes up for it.”

Purdue looking
for some way to
break slump
WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind.
(AP) — Purdue came into the
2012 season hoping to return
to the national stage.
After back-to-back blowout
losses at home, the Boilermakers would settle for simply
proving this quest isn’t hopeless at the midway point.
“Definitely not the way
we’d like it (the record) to be,
but this is when you find out
where you are,” quarterback
Caleb TerBush said Tuesday.
“Look, we’re only 3-3 right
now, but it’s not the end of
the world. We’ve got six more
games to play. We’ve just got
to put points on the board and
keep points off the board.”
Two weeks ago, the Boilermakers (3-3, 0-2 Big Ten)
seemed perfectly positioned
to make good on those preseason promises.
They were off to a 3-1 start,
their best in five years, and
a favorable schedule meant
they would start league play
against demoralized Michi-

gan and struggling Wisconsin
in West Lafayette. Winning
either game, or both, would
have sent a clear signal that
Purdue was back.
Instead, the Boilermakers
were victimized by too many
mistakes.
Michigan quarterback Denard Robinson rushed for
235 yards in a 44-13 victory
on Oct. 6, and last weekend,
Montee Ball ran for 247 yards
and three scores as unranked
Wisconsin drubbed the Boilermakers 38-14 in a steady rain.
Coach Danny Hope thinks
he can change gears by spending practice this week by focusing on the defensive fundamentals of better tackling,
better gap play and better
alignments.
The offense hasn’t been
much better, though. Purdue
has managed only three touchdowns in the last six halves
and has averaged a measly
3.4 yards per carry in the two
losses.

CONCEPTIS SUDOKU
by Dave Green

HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Thursday,
Oct. 18, 2012:
This year your imagination opens
many doors, and the only issue will be
which one you would like to go through.
The unexpected keeps you alert and
excited about life. If you are single, you
have a way about you that draws many
people in. You will need to be selective
in order to decide who you most want
to be close to. Enjoy the process. If you
are attached, a tendency to kiss and
make up becomes more important. Both
of you understand how vital this is to
your relationship. SAGITTARIUS enjoys
pulling you out of yourself.
The Stars Show the Kind of Day
You’ll Have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive;
3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult
ARIES (March 21-April 19)
HHHH You might not realize how
much you trigger certain people in
your life, especially as of late. You see
beyond the obvious and act accordingly.
Others could be shocked as a result.
An explanation definitely would help.
Make calls and network; know what you
expect and want. Tonight: Go for the
untried.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20)
HHHHH Work with a partner directly,
and you really might appreciate the
experience and its benefits. Pressure
builds when a partner or associate
pushes you too hard for your own good.
You might be willing to spend money on
a specific item. Tonight: A little fall shopping wouldn’t hurt.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20)
HHHH Your optimism remains, no
matter what obstacles you face. In fact,
a meaningful exchange occurs between
you and someone else only because
of your upbeat attitude. Sometimes
you find a key person to be a little too
aggressive or assertive. Tonight: Go
with a friend’s or loved one’s decision.
CANCER (June 21-July 22)
HHH Pace yourself, as you have a
lot to accomplish. Know that your mind
will be working overtime, and you’ll
have difficulty concentrating. You might
make a decision about a job or situation that puts many demands on you.
Follow through on what you need to do.
Tonight: Get some exercise.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)
HHHHH You cannot go wrong if you
are spontaneous. News or an idea surprises you by triggering all types of reactions — some angry, some unpredictable. You’ll land on your feet no matter
what. Your friends support you in your
goals. Whether they agree with them or
not will be irrelevant. Tonight: Paint the
town red.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
HHH You are enthusiastic about a

personal matter. If you are not dealing
with that issue, you could have difficulty
focusing on anything else. If you do
manage to focus your attention elsewhere, then that issue and the people
involved could resurface and tap you
on the shoulder. Tonight: Work on your
juggling skills.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
HHHH Make calls early, as you likely
will be swamped by others seeking you
out, whether it is via email, phone or
simply arriving at your door. You could
become frustrated and, as a result,
lose your temper. News comes in from
someone at a distance or from someone you do not speak to often. Tonight:
Read between the lines.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
HHHH Be careful with spending. You
could be letting go of negative feelings
through shopping. Stop and deal with
your frustrations head-on. You might
want to get to the root of the issue and
find out why you are so easily triggered.
Cool off, then approach the problem.
Tonight: Have fun with a friend.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
HHHH Funnel your energy into
whatever you want, and your creativity
will surge as a result. You might try out
some of your wild ideas on someone.
If you proceed as usual, you might
become quite frustrated. Use your current unusual energy well. Tonight: Sort
through offers.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
HHHH You might want to step back
from a project for a while, especially
if you have a conflict with someone
involved. Stay calm when dealing with
an unpredictable individual. This person
might mean what he or she says now,
but not later. Get as much done as you
can on your own. Tonight: Work out or
take a walk.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
HHHHH You might be more
removed than you realize, as your mind
wanders from one thought to another.
Your creativity continues to be high.
Share more of your ingenuity in a meeting. Others initially might be startled, but
eventually they’ll go along with some of
your ideas. Tonight: Start the weekend
early.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)
HHH Pressure comes from what
you think you need to accomplish as
opposed to what others want you to do.
At a certain point, you need to honor
your priorities, or else you will not be
happy. A family member or domestic
matter occupies your attention. Tonight:
Clear out as much as you can.

Lady Hornets outlast Meigs in sectionals
Bryan Walters

bwalters@heartlandpublications.com

COAL GROVE, Ohio —
Not even near-perfection
was enough for the Meigs
volleyball team Tuesday
night following a heartbreaking 21-25, 25-23, 2325, 25-15, 14-16 setback to
host Coal Grove in a Division III sectional semifinal
match in Lawrence County.
The visiting Lady Marauders
(4-18)
posted
season-bests of 53 kills, 48
assists and 10 blocks to
go along with 104-of-107
service effort, but those
collective totals were still
not enough to get the 13thseeded Maroon and Gold
past the fourth-seeded Lady
Hornets.
Coal Grove (18-4) —
which earned a share of the
Ohio Valley Conference title
this fall, its second straight
— grabbed early match
leads of 1-0 and 2-1, then
had to gut out the minimal
two-point decision in Game
5 to wrap up a berth in Saturday’s D-3 sectional final.
CGHS will host fifth-seeded
Wheelersburg at 4 p.m. for
a chance at the district tournament.
Meigs — which outscored the hosts in the
match by a 108-104 overall
margin in points — got a
team-best 14 service points
from Brooke Reynolds, followed by Lindsay Patterson
with 12 points and Kelsey
Hudson with 10 points.
Olivia Cremeans and
Alyson Dettwiller both
chipped in eight points
apiece, while Brook Andrus and Emily Kinnan
respectively
rounded
things out with seven

Shortly after Northwestern survived an ugly performance to
beat Minnesota on Saturday and improve to 6-1, two officials sat
down in the postgame press conference wearing yellow Fiesta
Bowl jackets.
With Ohio State and Penn State ineligible for the postseason
and the Big Ten not having a team currently ranked in the BCS
standings, the representatives from one of the premier bowls in
the country were asked what interest they had in the Wildcats
and Golden Gophers.
“We also have the Buffalo Wild Wings Bowl,” one of them
said.
That sounds about right.
The college football season has turned the corner to the second half, and no one is more pleased to put the first half behind
than those in the maligned Big Ten.
For a conference that was already being characterized as inferior to the likes of the SEC and Big 12, 2012 couldn’t have
started much worse for the Big Ten. Ohio State and Penn State
— two of the conference’s marquee programs — had no shot
for postseason play from the get-go because of NCAA sanctions.
Then one of its biggest hopefuls to restore pride to the conference — Michigan — was routed by Alabama in the season
opener. The embarrassments kept coming: Iowa losing at home
to Iowa State and Central Michigan; Wisconsin had close shaves
at home against Northern Iowa and Utah State; and Michigan
State was thumped by Notre Dame.
The second half of the season allows the Big Ten to find its
collective footing and try to build some momentum toward the
bowls, and there are some signs it’s happening. Iowa and Michigan are 2-0 in the conference, Northwestern just keeps finding
ways to win and Wisconsin appears to have righted itself and
gotten back to its power-running ways.
“Early in the year you’re just kind of getting into position,”
Nebraska coach Bo Pelini said. “The No. 1 goal for everybody is
to win their conference. You’re starting to hit that stretch. Just
about everyone has six games left. You want to be starting to hit
your peak. That’s the challenge.”
