Officials say there will also be some significant changes to patients’ medical bills. As independent entities, the partners that formed the new health system originally had separate billing systems. An effort is under way to unify the billing, but it is not known exactly when that goal will be reached. “Currently, patients are receiving bills from the clinic and hospital separately,” said Karrie Swain Davison, Holzer Communications Coordinator. “We are steadily moving toward having one billing system, to better accommodate our patients.” Although the merger occurred at the end of March, the organization is still having some logistical challenges with the process of coming together, according to Holzer CEO Dr. T. Wayne Munro. Munro explained that not only are the billing systems out of sync, but Holzer Clinic and Holzer Medical Center were working from two completely different information technology (IT) systems. “We are moving to one system and one bill very soon,” Munro said. He said a big area of focus initially was to get the two IT systems to talk to each other. The installation of a new system in the hospital next month may further complicate the issue. So, at this point, the time line for the billing change remains uncertain. “We are working in that direction,” Munro said. “It may be another six months before we get there.” Changes are also anticipated for those patients who need assistance paying their bills. Currently, Holzer Health System provides more than $1 million worth of charity care each month according to Board Chairman Brent Saunders. He said that level of charity care is something that will continue into the future. However, the current financial assistance policy for Holzer Health System applies only to acute care for patients. The organization is seeking to expand the scope of the program. “There is an application process for assistance, which does include an income stipulation, as well as various other requirements,” Davison explained. “Since our integration, we are working toward a universal policy and procedure that would apply to acute care, as well as the physician services.” Davison said the financial assistance policy and procedure is in place to help eligible patients “achieve payment for our services in a way that is feasible for their income level”. Holzer officials did not indicate when financial assistance will become available for physician services. Trio arrested for copper theft … again Sarah Hawley shawley@heartlandpublications.com Charlene Hoeflich l Daily Sentinel Ohio State Highway Trooper Shawn Cunningham met with Dean Harris, Meigs Local transportation director, last week to talk bus safety as we enter Ohio School Bus Safety Week. Pictured from left are Dan Thomas, bus disciplinary officer, and Jake Gannaway of Edwin H. Davis & Son handing keys to the new buses to Harris and Trooper Cunningham. Observing National School Bus Safety Week Charlene Hoeflich choeflich@mydailysentinel.com POMEROY — National School Bus Safety Week starts tomorrow and runs through Oct. 26. The theme this year is “I See the Driver. The Driver Sees Me!,” a slogan which serves to remind children to look both ways and wait for the go-ahead from the bus driver before crossing the roadway. The Ohio State Highway Patrol will be active participants in the observance. Throughout the week, troopers across the state of Ohio will be highly visible, enforcing the law in and around school zones and following school buses on their daily routes. In addition, troopers may be found riding on school buses looking for motorists passing the stopped school bus and committing other crash-causing violations. It was stressed in a release from the Patrol that the greatest risk to children occurs outside the school bus, as injuries and fatalities result from motorists who attempt to pass a stopped school bus. Ohio law requires motorists approaching from either direction of a stopped school bus to stop at least 10 feet from a bus loading or unloading passengers. If a school bus is stopped on a road divided See BUS |‌ A3 MEIGS COUNTY — A trio charged in the May breaking and entering and copper theft at the D.V. Weber Construction Warehouse were arrested again on Friday morning. Williams Adams, 37, Amy Leedy, 23, and Lori Leedy, 47, all of Nelsonville were arrested by Deputies Brian Holman and Donnie Mohler as they were loading stolen cooper into their vehicle according to Meigs County Sheriff Robert Beegle. Deputies had just checked the D.V. Weber Construction Warehouse and had gone across the roadway to check the area. They observed a vehicle coming down Curtis Hollow Road, and the deputies turned off their headlights. When the vehicle did not come out onto Ohio 124, the deputies drove over catching the three individuals. Adams was charged with breaking and entering, possession of criminal tools and felony theft. The females were charged with felony theft. All three appeared in Meigs County Court on Friday before Gallia County Municipal Court Judge Margaret Evans, sitting in for Judge Steven Story. Adams was placed under $200,000 bond, with 10 percent permitted. Amy Leedy and Lori Leedy were each placed under $100,000 bond, with 10 percent permitted. According to Beegle, during the County Court hearing Amy Leedy became upset and began assaulting Adams. She was physically restrained. They were remanded to the custody of the sheriff. Adams is being held in the county jail, while the two females were transported to the Washington County Jail. All three individuals were out on bond from Meigs County Common Pleas Court from a similar incident at the D.V. Weber Construction Warehouse in the spring. The Sheriff’s Office has requested that bond be revoked in the earlier cases. Adams was charged with five counts of breaking and entering from the earlier incident. Lori Leedy was charged with burglary and two counts of complicity. Amy Leedy was charged with two counts of breaking and entering. Gallia County Phillips holds community meeting in Pomeroy Commissioners to host job fair Sarah Hawley shawley@heartlandpublications.com POMEROY — State Representative Debbie Phillips held a roundtable discussion on Friday morning to speak with community members and office holders about issues which impact those in the district. The meeting held at the Pomeroy Library is one of four hosted by Phillips throughout the 92nd District over the past two weeks. The meetings provide a chance for those in the district to speak directly with Phillips about their issues and concerns, and to provide an update on legislative matters at the Statehouse. Phillips spoke about the legislation concerning public pensions which was recently passed. There were five bills, one focusing on each of the five pension plans handled by the state. The legislation, according to Phillips, will help stabilize the public pension plans for the future. She went on to state that the changes were needed to protect the current system which allows for a health care benefit in addition to the pension payout. Changes to the system included a plan to prevent spiking in later years, and some changes to the health care portion for both current and future retirees. Many of the changes were grandfathered in and would have minimal effect on those already retired. Phillips spoke in opposition of any attempt to privatize the pension plans in the future. The stimulus plan was also a topic of discussion, with some in attendance and Phillips noting the impact it has had on the local area and the region. According to Phillips, stimulus funding helped to move up the anticipated completion date on the Nelsonville Bypass, and also funded several of the water and sewer projects which have taken place in the county. Area employers looking to connect with job seekers Staff Report mdtnews@mydailytribune.com Sarah Hawley l Daily Sentinel State Representative Debbie Phillips, right, speaks with Bob Ord, president of Syracuse Village Council, during Friday’s meeting at the Pomeroy Branch of the Meigs County Library. A final topic of discussion was the budget and potential changes to it. Andrea Osborne Weakley of the Meigs County Family and Children First Council (FCFC) spoke about the impact that cutting just $15,000 of state funding could have on the entire county. Currently $15,000 of funding comes from state funds for the program. Last year, 59 families were provided services through the FCFC, which Weakley said saved the county and state approximately $143,836 had services been required through seperate agencies. Phillips also spoke highly of the No Wrong Door program which is in place in Meigs County and allows any agency to know where to refer people to receive the needed services. Phillips stated that key items in the budget are education, workforce development and core needs such as services provided by See MEETING ‌| A3 GALLIPOLIS — The Gallia County Commissioners announce they will host a job fair on from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Wednesday, October 24 at the Quality Inn in Gallipolis, Ohio.

Thank you to the Reverend Stan Howard of the Oak Hill Evangelical Community Church for all of your visits and encouraging words for such a perfect service for our dear mother.

To all those who sent flowers, provided food, the many phone calls, donated Bibles in her memory, or came to the funeral home to pay your respects, we are deeply grateful and humbled by your acts of kindness.

Bus From Page A1 into four or more lanes, only traffic driving in the same direction as the bus must stop. “While school buses remain the safest mode of travel on Ohio roadways, school bus crashes still occur,” said Colonel John Born, Patrol superintendent. “In order to make this school year safe, we need motorists to be patient and never pass a stopped school bus … and for children to always wait for their bus driver to signal it is safe to cross the roadway.” From 2009-2011, Ohio reported 4,946 crashes involving a school bus, according to a report from the Ohio State Highway Patrol. During that same time period, troopers issued 1,333 citations to motorists for passing a stopped school bus. Last week, Trooper Shawn Cunningham met with Dean Harris, the Meigs Local School District transportation director, to talk about bus safety and view one of the three new buses which were put in service last week. As a added safety feature, the overall fleet of 23 buses which travel 1,922 miles a day are equipped with all new radio and global position systems which allow the transportation director to track wherever the bus is traveling. In addition, each one has interactive video which provides the ability to monitor activity going on inside the bus.

What about turning Reader discourages the poor against the rich? bullying at sports events not who you really think Dear Editor, He has made the statement that our constitution is outdated. What does he want to do? COLUMBUS — For decades, car crashes have been the leading cause of unintentional deaths in the United States, however, something has surpassed car crashes on this ominous list. And, just about every person has these potential killers in their home. Drug overdoses, with the major culprit being prescription drugs, have now surpassed car crashes as the leading cause of accidental death in our country. In Ohio alone, four people die every day because of a drug overdose. Those who are being affected by this epidemic are mothers and sons, fathers and daughters. Prescription drug abuse does not care how much money you make or what your status is in the community. It does not consider a person’s age, gender or race. And it can be as innocent as sharing a pill with a friend who has a headache or ordinary aches and pains. Consider the story of Cole Smoot, an intelligent, active Clark County high school student. His friends described him as friendly, outgoing and he was not a drug user. Cole was an active member of his high school wrestling team who had an extremely bright future. On a cold February afternoon, a friend shared a prescription pill with Cole that was not his. Within 48 hours, Cole had a severe reaction to the medication and passed away in his sleep. The toxicology reports on Cole showed that it was one pill that took the life this promising young person. This tragic story is just one example of prescription drug misuse and abuse and there are so many other stories of heartbreak like this around the state. By definition, prescription drug misuse and abuse occurs when a prescribed medicine is taken by someone other than the intended user or in an alternate manner, dosage or time period than prescribed (even when taken by the intended user). No matter how “good” of a reason it appears to be, if a prescribed medicine is being used by an unintended person, or in an alternate manner, dosage or time period, it is considered medicine abuse. Doctors take many factors into consideration when prescribing a specific drug and appropriate dosage to patients including: an individual’s age, weight, medical history, allergies, interactions with other medicines, potential side effects of the prescribed drug, etc. And when individuals are prescribed a medication, it is done so under the guidance of a health care professional. It is also important to know that sharing your prescription medicine or using someone else’s is against the law, regardless of good intentions. There are both federal and state laws that make it illegal to take a prescription medication that belongs to someone else, or to share prescription drugs with another person. So the next time you are offered a person’s prescription medication, or you are tempted to assist in alleviating someone else’s pain by sharing your prescription, you are encouraged to decline the offer and resist the temptation; as it is not worth the health, safety or legal consequences you or others may face as a result.

Hazing, harassment, intimidation or bullying (HHIB) can affect everyone and can cause many negative outcomes including impacts on mental health, substance use and suicide. Attend a local youth event, and you will know exactly what I’m talking about in regards to HHIB. Our youth and families are hearing inappropriate comments. We can all step up and model respect by not engaging in belittling anyone during a game or other youth event. Let’s stop this negative fan behavior immediately. You are to be role models for our youth. Young children, our next generation of leaders, attend these games. Look around and notice them. Do what is right and expose them to positive comments. You can start by encouraging a player instead of yelling insensitive comments. Believe me; if a player has a turnover or whatever, they are hard enough on themselves. They don’t need fans or anyone else yelling at them. Below is a poem by an unknown author. I strongly feel that many of us could have written this poem. Support and encourage our youth because they deserve it! Just a Boy You Know! Please don’t curse the boy down there, he is my son, you know, and he means a lot to me. I did not raise my son, sports fan, for you to call him names. He may or may not be a superstar, but it is only a game. Please don’t curse the boys down there. They do the best they can. They never tried to lose a game, they’re boys and you’re a woman or man. The game belongs to them you see, and you are just a guest. They do not need a fan like you, they need the very best. If you have nothing nice to say, please leave the boys alone. And if you can’t enjoy the game, why don’t you stay at home? So please don’t curse the boys down there, each one’s his own parent’s son. And win or lose, or tie, you see, to us they’re Number One! Encourage our youth! Denise L. Martin Reader airs strong opinions about Obama Dear Editor, Why I couldn’t vote for Obama: His taxes are just a start to his ruination of America. His foreign policies are atrocious. No American president has ever bowed to our enemies except Obama. The media gives the excuse of his being tall. I saw a news clip of him shaking hands with young children and not bowing. He says he would stand with Israel, but his actions doesn’t show it. He is an eloquent speaker, but his words are empty. He says he’s creating jobs, just not fast enough. He still blames George Bush on the European Market for his failed policies. He made the statement, “If I can’t turn things around in four years, it would be a one-term proposition.” We have 23 million people out of work or underemployed. He pledged to have a government of transparency and bring the country together. How Sunday Times-Sentinel Reader Services Correction Policy Our main concern in all stories is to be accurate.

He blames Congress for not working with him. Any time they try to do anything constructive, he has the Senate to block it.

Gerrol Donivan Blake Crown City, Ohio New system protects medical identity Dear Editor, It is with great pride that I write this letter to commend CrossChx and Holzer Health System on their implementation of biometrics registration throughout our health care system. At each outpatient registration desk in Holzer, an individual will be asked if they would like to register their fingerprint with their medical record. In doing so, your fingerprint is being tied to your electronic health record, enhancing the security of your identity. Remarkably, since late July, Holzer Medical System and CrossChx have enrolled over 20,000 consumers in this innovative consumer protective system. As 1.85 million Americans fall prey to Medical Identity Theft (MIT) each year, this biometric program is much needed, and is proving to be an unquestionable value proposition for protecting consumers accessing medical services at Holzer. The average personal cost to repair or restore a stolen identity is over $22,346.00. This form of identity theft is the quickest form to steal. The settlement cost for an instance of Medical Identity Theft by a medical facility can reach into the millions of dollars to resolve. Adding a biometric fingerprint to our medical record takes only a moment, and lessens the threat of medical identity fraud by an overwhelming rate. Medical Identity Theft has cost our national health care system $43.1 billion annually. Precious funds that could be better utilized in serving consumer health care needs. The Joint Commission on Patient Safety, which has repeatedly accredited Holzer Health System, has labeled patient identity as its #1 goal since 2003. Through CrossChx and biometrics registration and verification, Holzer continues to keep the patients trust at the forefront of their operations and programming. Again, I want to commend CrossChx and Holzer Health System for identifying this costly and growing problem — more importantly for taking our health care to the next level, through enhanced technology and identification. Sincerely, Steve Chapman, CPA Longtime patient says goodbye to physician Dear Editor, I came to Gallipolis in 1950 to attend the 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. Holzer School of Nursing. I worked in this profession for 48 years. Needless to say, I came in contact and worked with many, many physicians during these years. My present physician is Dr. Aaron Karr at the Silver Bridge Plaza with the Ohio Valley Physicians. I have been a patient of his for over six years. He is one of the most outstanding physicians that I have known. He is extremely knowledgeable regarding diagnoses and treatments. One great quality he has is that he listens to the patient. He discusses options for medications or treatments and always is pleasant to the patient. Although he is very busy, he always takes time with the patients. If ever I have a problem of any kind, he discusses it and finds a solution. I am very sad to say that he will discontinue practice here soon to relocate to another state. What a loss to our community. It is very difficult to say goodbye to such a loyal physician and friend. Naomi Durst Gallipolis, Ohio Reader encourages participation in vigil Dear Editor, Now is the time for the churches of America to awaken and arise wiping the sand from our eyes. The Pied Piper has played his lullaby and put many churches to sleep. The time to wake up is now! The time to take action is now! How could we be so silent while more than 54 million innocent babies have been aborted? Is God dead? Is He deaf and blind? Is there no judgement? There isn’t if He is dead. There isn’t if He cannot see what is going on down here. There isn’t if He cannot hear the silent screams of the babies. No! God is alive and well. “I am the same yesterday, today and forever,” He says, “I change not.” We have a clear-cut choice to make on Nov. 6. The intent of the candidates could hardly be plainer. Church, we have the power (through God’s will) to put an end to the sacrificing of our children. We all know our country is sick, almost staggering like a drunken person. We need the blessings and power of God back in our churches, our homes, our hearts. Let us come together to pray, to join in unity and reaffirm our commitment to the One True God. Please join us for a Candlelight Prayer Vigil on the [Mason County] courthouse steps on Nov. 5, from 6 p.m.-7:30 p.m. Coffee, hot chocolate and cookies will be served. Let’s get back to the Constitution and other godly precepts we were founded upon. Connie Gibbs, Letart, W.Va.

Commander, U.S. Navy, retired, 69, died at his home in Syracuse, Ohio, on October 14, 2012, after a six-year battle with multiple myeloma cancer. Lee was a proud Navy Mustang, who retired as a Lt. Commander in August 1987, after serving 20 years, including four in Viet Nam. In the Navy, a Mustang is an officer who is promoted up from the ranks of Navy enlisted personnel. It is also understood that the Mustang Officer is a career sailor and normally wears one or more Good Conduct Medals (Lee wore two). Lee was a Navy Limited Duty Officer (LDO) which is a very unique part of the Naval Service. LDOs are enlisted people who are commissioned as officers, and have been called to serve from their senior enlisted ranks as technical managers. An LDO has the necessary experience and technical background to perform tasks that call for the “officer” rank and protocol to carry out, but require the enlisted heart and experience to get accomplished. Lee was born on January 11, 1943, in Columbus, Ohio, to the late Leroy Frank Bright and Sarah Elizabeth Edwards Bright. He is survived by his wife, Elaine Pollard Bright, Daytona Beach, Fla.; brother, Gordon Fred Bright (Chris), Slidell, La.; aunts, ElmaWeese, Emmogene Hamilton, Syracuse, Ohio; Eloise Seely, Hopkinton, Mass.; uncle, Emmett Edwards, Grove City, Ohio; nephew, Gordon Scott Bright, Columbus, Ohio; other nephews, nieces and many cousins.

HOT DEAL Aggressive ads keep abortion in campaign spotlight NEW YORK (AP) — Though Barack Obama and Mitt Romney rarely tackle the topic of abortion head-on, the void is being filled by rival advocacy groups targeting swing states with ads depicting one or the other candidate as an extremist in his stance on the divisive issue. Obama, according to the National Right to Life Committee, is “the most pro-abortion president this country has ever seen.” Another anti-abortion group, the Susan B. Anthony List, is running anti-Obama TV ads titled “Abortion Radical.” From the other side, groups supporting legal access to abortion, as well as the Obama campaign itself, depict Romney and his running mate, Rep. Paul Ryan, as eager to ban most abortions as part of a Republican “war on women.” The GOP ticket “is extremely dangerous to women’s health,” says Nancy Keenan, president of NARAL ProChoice America. Numerous polls indicate that abortion and other hot-button social issues aren’t top priorities for most Americans as they worry about jobs and health care. Yet abortion is a visceral subject for some voters — and the extent to which they turn out to vote, and perhaps sway wavering acquaintances, could make a difference in pivotal swing states.

The speakers are from the group SOLACE, which stands for Surviving Our Loss And Continuing Everyday. SOLACE is made up of five individuals who have all lost someone close to them due to a drug-related death. In their presentations, the members of SOLACE provide a powerful and vitally important message for people of all ages. The group has been well received in its numerous presentations around the region, and Rio Grande is proud to have the members on campus for this powerful event. The Rio Grande Chaplaincy is sponsoring the presentation, which will begin at 6:30 p.m. in the Berry Fine and Performing Arts Center. All Rio Grande students are strongly encouraged to attend, and all area residents are also invited to attend this event. Many people in the community have dealt with drug addiction issues of their own or with members of their families or friends, and they will benefit from hearing this presentation. Drug addiction issues create very serious problems in Ohio and around the country, and these speakers are bravely sharing their stories in order to help others. During the evening event, the speakers will give presentations, but they will also be available to answer questions from audience members. According to the group’s website, the mission of SOLACE is “to reach people who have lost loved ones to drugs, to help the addicted make changes to their lives and to prevent future pain in the addict and family members.” The group originally formed as a support group in 2008, but then became an active organization that is working with legislators to sponsor and pass bills needed to help fight drug addiction, encouraging communities to affect their own changes and speaking to people about their experiences. Rio Grande officials are hoping that a large crowd of students and area residents will turn out for this event to hear this important message from this powerful group. The Rio Grande Chaplaincy sponsors numerous events on campus throughout the academic year, often welcoming in speakers take part in presentations and panel discussions before students and area residents For more information on the Tuesday, Oct. 23 presentation from SOLACE, call Marshall Kimmel at 1-800-282-7201.

Malala Yousufzai appeared with her eyes open and alert as she lay in a hospital bed, in the first photographs released by the Queen Elizabeth Hospital in Birmingham since she arrived from Pakistan on Monday. It was a series of positive developments since the shooting, which was a brazen bid by the Taliban to silence the girl, who has been an outspoken advocate for girls’ right to education. Still, doctors said she shows signs of infection and faces a long, difficult recovery with uncertain prospects. “She is not out of the woods yet,” hospital medical director Dr. Dave Rosser said. “Having said that, she’s doing very well. In fact, she was standing with some help for the first time this morning when I went in to see her.” He said Malala had agreed to the release of medical information and photos, and wants to thank people throughout the world for their interest and support in the difficult days since she was gunned down in Pakistan. He said her bullet wound has become infected. A large bruise beneath her left eye could be seen in the photo released Friday, showing Malala in her hospital bed with a toy bear. The upbeat report galvanized Malala’s many backers, who had feared the worst. Bakhtawar Bhutto Zardari, daughter of the late Pakistani leader Benazir Bhutto, described Malala’s progress as wondrous. “Miracles of today: Malala able to stand,” she tweeted. Canadian writer and journalist Irshad Manji celebrated the girl’s progress on Twitter: “So listen up world; Miracle Malala has more 2 say.” Brain injury experts stressed, however, that she is at the start of what will be a long process. Dr. Jaime Levine, medical director of brain injury rehabilitation at New York University’s Rusk Rehabilitation unit in Manhattan, said Malala’s ability to stand with assistance and move her arms was a “wonderful sign,” but the doctor said it was too soon to say whether she would make a complete recovery. “For some, recovery from a brain injury is a lifelong process,” Levine said. “Some people are left with limitations for the rest of their lives. We speak about recovery in terms of goals and function. For a 15-year-old girl attending school with the promise of her whole life in front of her, goals for her are to finish school and to have a job one day and to have a family. … But we’re not talking about those goals yet. We’re talking about short-term goals.” Malala has come to be a symbol for a girl’s right to education. At the age of 11, she began writing a blog under a pseudonym for the BBC about life under the Taliban in the Swat Valley. After the military ousted the militants in 2009, she began publicly speaking out about the need for girls’ education. She appeared frequently in the media and was given one of the country’s highest civilian honors for her bravery. Malala was shot and critically wounded on Oct. 9 as she headed home from school in the northwest Swat Valley. The Taliban said they targeted Malala, a fierce advocate for girls’ education, because she promoted “Western thinking” and was critical of the militant group. The Taliban attack was widely condemned. U.N. Secretary-General Ban Kimoon condemned the shooting as a “heinous and cowardly act,” and U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton said the “attack reminds us of the challenges that girls face, whether it is poverty or marginalization or even violence just for speaking out for their basic rights.” Malala was flown from Pakistan to Birmingham on Monday for advanced medical treatment and for security protection. She was in a medically induced coma when she arrived, and regained consciousness on Tuesday, the hospital said. John got in the game with a wide range of sports, movies and more & saved up to $850!

B6 Eagles edge Federal Hocking, 25-23 Alex Hawley ahawley@heartlandpublications.com STEWART, Ohio — Eastern’s postseason hopes are still alive following a 25-23 win over Tri-Valley Conference Hocking Division foe Federal Hocking Friday night in Athens County. The Eagles (6-3, 5-2 TVC Hocking) jumped out to an early lead after Joey Scowden completed a 74 yard pass to Chase Cook at the 10:32 mark of the first quarter. Joey Scowden completed a pass to Troy Gantt for the twopoint conversion and Eastern led 8-0. With just under a minute left in the first period Max Carnahan hit a 30 yard field goal to put the Green and White up 11. Federal Hocking (6-3, 5-2) got on the board with 3:22 remaining in the half when Delbert Crum broke a 47 yard run. Terrance Mayle added the point after touchdown and FHHS pulled within one score. Eastern’s big play offense struck again before the half was up, as Joey Scowden completed a 66 yard pass to Alex Amos for six points. The extra point kick failed and EHS led 17-7 at half. The lone score of the third period was at the 5:32 mark when the Lancers tacked an Eastern runner in the endzone for a safety. Eastern recorded a safety of its own to start the fourth period and the Eagles led 19-9. Less than two minutes later Eastern was in the endzone again with a 31 yard completion from Joey Scowden to Max Carnahan. The extra point kick failed and Eastern led 25-9 with 9:05 remaining. Down 16 points FHHS clawed back first with a 12 yard run by Andrew Smith for six points. Smith caught the two-point conversion from Kyle Jackson to cut the EHS lead to eight with 5:55 left in regulation. Smith found paydirt again with 3:57 left in the game on a 21 yard pass from Jackson. The Eagles defense stopped the two point conversion attempt and led 25-23. As the game clock wound down Eastern drove down the field. With 90 seconds remaining Eastern had the ball on a fourth and one at it’s own 44 yard line. Federal Hocking’s Peyton Seel was penalized for offsides and Eastern had the first down it needed to end the game. Joey Scowden led Eastern with 5-of-11 passing for 201 yards with three touchdowns and an inter- ception. Joey Scowden also ran 21 times compiling a team-high 84 yards. Eastern’s Ethan Nottingham had nine carries for 80 yards and one reception for 22 yards in the triumph. Cook led Eagle receivers with one catch for 74 yards, followed by Amos with one grab for 66 yards and Carnahan with two catches for 39 yards. Cook, Amos and Carnahan each caught a TD. Crum led the rushing attack for FHHS with 163 yards on 26 carries with a touchdown, while Jackson threw for 143 See EAGELS ‌| B2 Blue Devils topple Logan, clinch share of SEOAL title Craig Dunn Special to OVP LOGAN, Ohio — Gallipolis coach Mike Eddy said it was a war. Logan coach Kelly Wolfe said it was a classic. Whatever it was, the Blue Devils can say they clinched no worse than a share of the 2012 Southeastern Ohio Athletic League football championship. The two head coaches left the Logan Chieftain Stadium turf Friday night looking ahead (Eddy) and wondering what might have been (Wolfe) after the visiting Blue Devils outlasted the Chiefs 23-14 on a rainy Senior Night on the Logan High School campus. Coupled with an unexpected development about 45 miles south of Logan Chieftain Stadium — Chillicothe’s shocking 14-13 victory at Jackson, which broke the two-time defending champion Ironmen’s 14-game SEOAL winning streak — the Blue Devils (7-2 overall, 4-0 SEOAL) clinched no worse than a tie for the conference crown with their regular-season finale against visiting Jack- son (5-4, 3-1) looming next Friday. Meanwhile, the Chiefs (27, 2-2), who began the season 0-5, came oh-so-close to throwing the conference championship race into a three-way tie going into the final week. “It was a classic LoganGallipolis game,” said Wolfe. “It was physical. I thought our kids came out a little flat in the first half, but we came out in the second half with an attitude, and it was the battle that you expected it to be.” Although the Chiefs were flat in the first half, the Blue Devils — who entered Friday night averaging 37 points a game — were still being held to just nine points on three Dylan Saunders field goals. Saunders booted field goals of 36, 19 and 32 yards, but GAHS only led 9-7 because Logan’s Nick Kost scooped up a Gallipolis fumble and returned it 30 yards to paydirt midway through the second stanza. Then, after Kost’s 52-yard punt rolled out of bounds at See DEVILS |‌ B2 Michael Brace l Submitted photo Gallia Academy sophomore Dylan Saunders (9) boots one of his three successful first-half field goals Friday night during the Blue Devils’ 23-14 victory over Logan in a Week 9 SEOAL matchup at Logan Chieftain Stadium in Logan, Ohio. OVP Sports Schedule Bryan Walters l Daily Sentinel Members of the South Gallia football team pose for a picture in front of the scoreboard after the Rebels claimed their first-ever victory at the new SGHS stadium Friday night following a 20-14 overtime victory over Waterford on Senior Night. Rebels outlast Waterford in OT for first win Bryan Walters bwalters@heartlandpublications.com MERCERVILLE, Ohio — Now that’s one for the history books. South Gallia snapped a 10game losing streak and picked up its first-ever triumph at the new SGHS athletic complex Friday night following a 20-14 overtime victory over visiting Waterford in a Week 9 Tri-Valley Conference Hocking Division matchup in Gallia County. The Rebels (1-8, 1-7 TVC Hocking) celebrated Senior Night in dramatic fashion, as the hosts rallied back from a 14-8 fourth quarter deficit to earn their first win since a Week 9 27-7 decision at Waterford last fall. It is also the first time that SGHS has ever beaten Waterford at home. South Gallia rallied to tie the game at 14 with 9:47 left in regulation, then made a couple of big defensive plays down the stretch to force overtime. The hosts won the coin toss and elected to play defense, and that decision paid off big just two plays into the extra session — as the Rebels intercepted a forced pass to take over possession. After a pair of short running gains for a third-and-six at the 16, quarterback Landon Hutchinson lofted a pass toward Ethan Spurlock just past the endzone line on the right side. After a brief bobble near a WHS defender, Spurlock wrapped both hands around the ball as he fell to the ground. That catch was not only the third touchdown for Spurlock on the night, but it also gave the Rebels their first win of the 2012 campaign … and their first-ever triumph at the new facility. Afterwards, SGHS Jason Peck was emotionally drained after such a great team effort. And after an 0-8 start to this season, the third-year frontman was pleased to see the Rebels’ hard work finally pay off. “These young men come to work every day and they are a great group of kids. They’ve had adversity to deal with all year long, rather it be our youth or our injuries, and they’ve continued to respond,” Peck said. “To finally get a win at home, it’s huge. It finally feels like this place is our home. “We could have folded our tent and packed it in, but we haven’t had one kid quit this fall. Obviously, I’m very proud of our kids for continuing to fight and put in the effort. I’m happy that these guys get to taste victory once at home this year, especially the seniors in their final game here.” The Rebels have only four seniors — Brandon Campbell, Jesse Stewart, Christian Wilkes and Jacob Fields — on their 28-man roster for 2012, a year after losing 12 players to graduation from a playoff team. But early on, South Gallia played like team with poise and experience. The Rebels outgained the Wildcats (2-7, 1-6) by a 113-82 margin in first half yards, and the hosts also struck first blood on both sides of the ball. Waterford lost a fumble on its opening play from scrimmage, then SGHS marched 51 yards in nine plays to take an early 6-0 advantage after Spurlock capped the drive on a one-yard touchdown run with 7:13 left in the first quarter. A successful Jacob White run on a two-point conversion gave the hosts an 8-0 lead. The score stayed that way until just before halftime, as the Wildcats marched 49 yards in seven plays to get their first score of the night. Hunter Munjas rumbled in from seven yards out with 4:24 left in the half to pull the guests to within 8-6, then Wyatt Porter hauled in a successful two-point conversion pass from Devon Patterson for eight-all contest at the break. Both teams had two turnovers in the opening half, but only South Gallia managed to turn any of those miscues into points. The Rebels had 112 rushing yards, one passing yard and six first downs at the intermission, while the guests had 44 rushing yards, 25 passing yards and five first downs before the break. Neither team scored in the third period, but South Gallia had both of its drives in that quarter end in turnovers after losing a pair of fumbles — the second of which ultimately proved costly. Waterford took over possession at its own 32 with 3:32 left in the third, then the guests marched 68 yards in nine plays to take their first lead of the night after Munjas reached paydirt on a nine-yard scamper with 11:17 left in regulation for a 14-8 edge.

River Valley snapped a sevengame losing skid and also captured its first-ever triumph at its new stadium complex Friday night following a 43-19 thumping of visiting South Point in a Week 9 Ohio Valley Conference gridiron matchup in Gallia County. The host Raiders (2-7, 1-3 OVC) amassed 257 yards of total offense and had four different players score at least one touchdown while earning their first league win of the 2012 campaign. The Pointers — who lost 45-30 to RVHS last year in Week 10 — fell to 1-8 overall and 1-3 in league play this season. River Valley rushed for 181 yards and four touchdowns on 40 attempts and added another 76 yards and two scores through the air while posting a season-high in points. The hosts also handed the Pointers their second straight setback. Kyle Brown led the ground attack with 20 carries for 102 yards and a rushing TD, while Jacob Leach added 49 yards and two TDs on 10 totes. Austin Davies had six rushes for 17 yards and Dayton Hardway had 13 yards and a touchdown on four attempts. Hardway went 7-of-12 passing for 76 yards, throwing two touchdowns and one interception.

Instead, 29 seconds later, they were in the end zone. Running back Luke Pullins came through with a 22-yard run to get the ball out of the shadow of the GA goal line, then senior running back Nick Clagg took the ball around right end, cut back through a huge hole, and outran the Logan defense for a 74yard touchdown — the longest rushing TD in the five-year history of Logan Chieftain Stadium — and, after Saunders booted the PAT, a 16-7 lead with 1:24 left in the half. “That was a heartbreaker, having them pinned as deep as we did,” Wolfe admitted. “When Dylan (a sophomore) decided to come out and be a football player for the first time, it was a lot of pressure,” Gallipolis coach Mike Eddy said. “He’s a confident young man and he works hard every day. Tonight proved why he’s one of the best kickers in school history. He was a tremendous help to us.” Saunders set a school record by converting his 40th extra-point kick of the season late in the game. He even got a chance at a fourth FG but his 42-yarder on the final play of the first half fell short. Although Gallipolis didn’t score again until late in the game, the Blue Devils held on to win by rushing for 316 yards, overcoming four lost fumbles and several crucial penalties. “Tonight, what an incredible war,” said Eddy, whose Blue Devils are assured of no worse than a title share for the first time since 2004. “We did everything we could to lose with the turnovers and the penalties. It was very uncharacteristic of our football team. We haven’t played like this since Licking Heights (a 21-7 week-three loss to the still-undefeated Hornets) — and that was with penalties, turnovers and two big plays. “I saw a flashback tonight,” he continued. “I was definitely a little bit nervous, but I never lost belief in the kids. That’s what it’s all about. They kept fighting.” Both teams did, which you would expect in a rivalry that goes back to several years before the SEOAL was formed in 1925… and both teams also ended up playing short-handed in the offensive backfield. Logan’s leading rusher, OVP Sports Briefs RV Rinky Dink basketball signups Cory McCarty, tried to play but was limited to 15 yards on six carries dealing with a high ankle sprain suffered two weeks ago that has yet to heal; Ty Warnimont, the Blue Devils’ top runner — who entered the game averaging 16.5 yards per carry — exceeded his average (51 yards on three carries) but injured an ankle in the second period and did not return. “We lost a great player for the rest of the year in Ty Warnimont, and that’s going to really hamper us,” Eddy said. “We’re going to have to go back to the drawing board. Somebody’s got to step in and fill those shoes. That’s a heck of a pair of shoes to fill, but we have good football players and they train hard for that opportunity. “We had guys hurting but they just kept playing,” he added. “They didn’t come to the sidelines saying ‘coach, take me out,’ they sucked it up and get it done. That’s the kind of kids we have and that I hope we’re developing here — strong, tough kids who will fight you tooth and nail to the very end, win or lose.” The Blue Devils had 409 yards of total offense and got big contributions from Clagg, quarterback Wade Jarrell, and Pullins, who combined for 229 rushing yards in Warnimont’s absence. Meanwhile, the Gallipolis defense limited the Chiefs to just 20 total yards and one first down (that via penalty) in the first half. Logan fared much better in the second half, but still only finished with 186 total yards. “They were running a 6-2 (defense) and we weren’t able to get to any linebackers at all,” Wolfe said. In the second half, “we thought we could start attacking the perimeter and we wanted to get (Nick) Maniskas the ball and get him out on the corners a little. Cory couldn’t get it done tonight with the ankle, and so we needed to be a little diverse and make some plays. Nick made two or three huge plays for us.” One of those huge plays came with 4:54 left in the third quarter and Gallipolis still leading 16-7. Maniskas took what amounted to a long handoff — quarterback Jack Music threw him the ball in the right flat 10 yards behind the line of scrimmage — and the junior broke it the distance (47 yards) for six points. Dominick Stevens then added his second PAT kick of the game to draw the Chiefs within 16-14. After forcing Gallipolis to punt, the Chiefs drove to the Blue Devils’ 19yard line but fell short on fourth-and-6. They got the again ball back a few minutes later when Justin Moore recovered a Gallipolis fumble (his second fumble recovery of the game) at the Logan 34yard line, but were forced the kick the ball away with 5:13 left in the game after throwing three-straight incomplete passes. “We were trying to mix it up a little bit and get some bigger plays to happen in a hurry,” Wolfe explained. “We felt like we had some opportunities to get some passes on the perimeter… if we would have caught one of those three passes, I wouldn’t have (called for) three passes. “The first two were open, and if we would have caught one of those two we would have went back to the running game,” he continued. “We were trying to catch them off guard. We were trying to take advantage of (defensive back Cody Russell), who was limping back there, but we couldn’t.” Gallipolis then drove 57 yards on eight plays, with Jarrell scoring an insurance TD with 1:54 to play. Saunders’ PAT — his 11th kicking point of the game — gave the Blue Devils a nine-point lead, meaning it was a two-possession game. The Chiefs only got one more possession. They turned the ball over on downs at the GAHS 47. “We were excited being (down) just 16-7” at halftime,” Wolfe said. “We felt we were in great shape against a team like that that’s been putting up the points they’ve been putting up. They couldn’t get things going offensively like they’re used to. We were in a pretty good position. “The defense played lights out,” he added. “They held them to three field goals and a touchdown in the first half; we just didn’t get it done offensively. We came out and cut (the deficit) to two, then it was a battle from there on. We drove the ball but couldn’t finish inside the red zone.” Eddy knew where the challenge was this week; stopping Logan’s running game. Former LHS quarterback and GAHS defensive coordinator Alex Penrod developed the plan of attack. “We really challenged our defense this week,” Eddy revealed. “We knew the last time those two kids (McCarty and Isaac Schmeltzer) were in the backfield together they went for over 400 (rushing) yards, so that was our focus. We were not going to lose because they were running the football down our throats. “We play a lot of good football teams who (try to) do that, and we believe we’re built to stop that,” he added. “It all comes down to our defensive line. We thought going into the year we had one of the best D-lines in the league, and tonight they had to step up and prove it. They showed up to play tonight, and that made the difference.” Gallia Academy now finds itself in position to win the league championship outright by beating Jackson next week — and reach the state Division III playoffs as well — but Eddy made it clear the Blue Devils are not content with just a portion of the title. “We’ve talked about this all year,” Eddy stated. “A lot of people didn’t agree with it, but (in week three) we went for it (the win) against Ironton (a 14-13 loss at Ironton; in the final moments, the Blue Devils went a 2-point conversion and a potential victory instead of kicking a gametying PAT). That’s the mentality of these kids; we don’t tie anybody. We want to beat you. That’s what this league title is about; we’re not just sharing this league title. “It doesn’t end tonight,” he continued. “We’re still fighting for a league title. We don’t share anything, and that’s the mentality of these kids. They’ve worked too hard to split it.” After starting the season 0-5, it sure didn’t seem like the Chiefs would be playing for a tie for the league lead a month later. “I have never been any lower than I was a month ago” after a 50-0 loss to Nelsonville-York, Wolfe said. “To be where we were at, you would never have thought this was a 2-6 football team. We had great, energetic practices this week, and to be able to have a game of this magnitude, to be playing in week nine with everything riding on this game, it shows we have” bounced back. “We can still finish tied for second” he added, by winning next week at Warren and if Jackson loses to Gallipolis. “We (defeat Gallipolis) and we’re tied for first place. It was a classic back-and-forth LoganGallipolis game between two pretty balanced teams. Everything was going our way (to tie for the league lead), but we didn’t uphold our end of the deal.” Craig Dunn is the sports editor of the Logan Daily News in Logan, Ohio. ����������� ������ �� ������ ������­€€� ��‚������ƒ�������„� � BIDWELL, Ohio — The River Valley Rinky Dink Basketball Association will he holding signups for boys and girls on Tuesday, Oct. 23 from 6:30 p.m. until 8 p.m. in the RVHS library.

Alex Hawley l Daily Sentinel Eastern junior Erin Swatzel (left) spikes the ball over Southern’s Katie Jenkins (right) Thursday night during the Lady Eagles sectional title win in Tuppers Plains. Lady Eagles soar past Southern for sectional title Alex Hawley ahawley@heartlandpublications.com TUPPERS PLAINS, Ohio — Another year, another sectional title for the Lady Eagles. For the 17th year in a row the top seeded Eastern Volleyball team was crowned sectional champions, as it defeated visiting ninth seeded Southern Thursday night in straight games in The Eagles Nest. Southern (10-14) held tight with the EHS (22-1) through the first few points of the opening game but a 17 point run by the Lady Eagles gave them the momentum and the 25-6 victory in game one. The Lady Tornadoes rebounded in the second game and jumped out to an early lead. Down by as many as six points at one time, Eastern clawed its way back into the game, and took the lead at 16-15. EHS won the second game 25-22 to increase its advantage to 2-0 in the match. The Lady Eagles came out strong in the third game jumping out to a 12-3 lead. The Lady Tornadoes didn’t quit but the deficit was too much to overcome and Eastern took the 25-13 victory and the match. “You gotta give Southern a lot of credit,I thought they played very well” said Eastern coach Howie Caldwell. “Tonight’s win was very good for us because they blocked us well and they played very hard against us.” Eastern’s triumph was its 20th consecutive match won, and in the process the Lady Eagles have won 24 straight games. Southern has fell victim to EHS three times this season. “Something I learned a long time ago is that it doesn’t make any difference how you win the game now,” Caldwell said. “Once you’re in the tournament the bottom line is just win and go on.” The Lady Eagles service attack was led by senior Kiki Osborne with 16 points, all of which came in the first game.Erin Swatzel had 11 points for EHS, followed by Jordan Parker with six. Ally Hendrix and Maddie Rigsby each had five points, while Gabby Hendrix had three points to round out the EHS scoring. Parker had 16 kills on the night to lead Eastern’s net attack, followed by Rigsby with 11 and Swatzel with nine. Katie Keller recorded four kills, Ally Hendrix had two and Osborne had one to round out the EHS total. Keller paced the net defense for the Lady Eagles with nine blocks, followed by Parker with two. Rigsby, Osborne and Swatzel each had one block on the night. Ally Hendrix had 37 assists to lead the way for the victors, while Gabby Hendrix had a team high 30 digs. Southern’s service attack was paced by Baylee Hupp with five points and Celestia Hendrix with four. Alison Deem had three points, Jansen Would had two and Jordan Huddleston had one point to round out the SHS scoring.Southern has not won a sectional title since 2005. “It was a good win for us,” said Caldwell. “When you play somebody that’s inspired to win and you win, its a good thing.” Eastern will advance to the district semifinals to face fourth seeded Leesburg Fairfield Thursday at 6 p.m. at Jackson High School.

The Marauders played most of the first half with the heavyweights before the Bulldogs delivered a knockdown punch and get their offense going en route to a 47-14 win over the Marauders, before a wet senior night crowd. The Bulldogs were leading just 12-7 with 14 seconds left on the clock in the first half when the Bulldogs outstanding sophomore quarterback Joe Burrows hit Skyler Schwarzel with a 40 yard scoring toss to put the visitors on top 20-7 at the half. That score seemed to be what the doctor ordered for the Bulldogs as they exploded for 21 third period points to put the game away. Meigs took the opening kickoff and drove to the Bulldog 37, but the maroon and gold turned the ball over on downs. From their Trae Williams ripped off runs of 28, 30 and four yards to the Marauder one. From there Tanner Wood scored from a yard out the extra points were no good but the Bulldogs held the early 6-0 lead. The Bulldogs forced a Marauder punts on the next possession and Schwarzel fumbled with Dillon Bush recovering for Meigs at the Bulldog 30. Eight plays later Andrew Burt rammed in from the one yard line. Kaileb Sheets added the kick and the Marauders were on top 7-6 at the Dave Harris l photo Meigs senior runningback Dillon Boyer is hit by an Athens defenders during a second half carry Friday night in a Week 9 TVC Ohio matchup at Holzer Field at Farmers Bank Stadium in Rocksprings, Ohio. 10:33 mark of the first half. The Bulldogs drove to the Meigs 19, but two straight Burrow passes turned the ball over on downs. But just two plays later, Schwarzel stepped in front on a Meigs receiver and took it the distance 20 yards for the score giving Athens a 12-7 lead at the 6:56 mark of the half. The big play of the half came with just14 seconds left however, when Burrow hit Schwarzel cutting across the middle, and Skyler took it in from 40 yards out for the score. Burrow added the extra points and the two teams went into the locker rooms with the Bulldogs on top 20-7. In the third period, the Bulldogs scored on touchdown passes of 26 yards from Burrow to Ryan Luehrman, and 11 yards to Schwarzel sandwiched around a one yard run from Williams to build the lead to 41-7 heading into the fourth period. Dillon Boyer added a Meigs touchdown in the fourth period with a one yard run, Boyer set the score up with a 60 yard run three plays before. Sheets added the kick with 8:48 left. The Bulldogs wrapped up the scoring when Dakotah McFee broke loose on a 61 yard score to make it a 47-14 final. Williams led the Bulldogs on the ground with 153 yards in 15 tries; Burrow added four carries for 31. Burrow only a sophomore came into the contest averaging 256 yards in the air with 2,049 yards and 32 touchdowns. But Meigs held him below his average he completed 12 of 19 for 196 yards. Schwarzel caught six passes for 133 yards. Boyer led Meigs with 145 yards in 24 carries; Devon Cundiff added 10 for 20 yards. Boyer was three of six in the air for only one yard. Kaileb Sheets was four of seven for 27. Ty Phelps caught all seven Marauder completions for 28 yards. Athens is now 7-2 on the season and will play Nelsonville-York for the TVC title next Friday.

Alex Hawley l Daily Sentinel Southern sophomore Tristen Wolfe (3) passes over Trimble’s Jon Stevens (60) during the Tomcats 21-0 win in Racine Friday night. Tomcats top Tornadoes, 21-0 Alex Hawley ahawley@heartlandpublications.com RACINE, Ohio — A valiant effort on senior night. The Southern football team hosted surging Trimble Friday night at Roger Lee Adams Memorial Field of a Tri-Valley Conference Hocking Division contest. The Tornadoes held Trimble to less than half of their season average of 42.1 points per game, but the Tomcats defense proved to much as THS took the 21-0 victory. After Southern’s (3-6, 3-4 TVC Hocking) opening drive sputtered out Trimble (8-1, 6-1) began to march down the field. The Tornado defense bent but didn’t break as the Tomcats failed to score on four opportunities from inside the 10 yard line. Southern was penned deep in their own territory and was forced into a three and out. After a 62 yard punt by Southern sophomore Ryan Billingsley THS took over at it’s own 29 yard line with 2:28 remaining in the first quarter. On the first play of its drive Trimble found paydirt with a 71 yard completion from Konner Standley to Austin Downs. Jon Stevens added the point after touchdown to give THS the 7-0 advantage. A penalty and a sack stalled Southern next drive and it was forced to punt. Trimble running back Bryce Smathers had back to back long runs on the Tomcats next drive but he coughed up the football on the second run and Southern took over at its own 12 yard line. Southern compiled three first downs on its next drive thanks to the running of Paul Ramthun, Tristen Wolfe and Tyler Barton but the Tomcat defence buckled down and forced SHS to punt yet again. Trimble took possession at its own 23 yard line with 3:29 remaining in the half. A few short yardage plays forced Southern’s defense to move closer to the line of scrimmage and Trimble took notice. Standley completed a 65 yard pass to Terry Simerly for six points at the 1:46 mark of the second period. Stevens added the extra point and Trimble led 14-0 after the four play drive.The Tornadoes didn’t have enough time to put a drive together and trailed 14-0 at halftime. Just like at Super Bowl XLIV the second half began with a surprise onside kick. And just like the Saints, the Tornadoes recovered and began its drive near midfield. Southern began driving picking up a fourth down conversion, but the Tornadoes leading rusher Tyler Barton suffered an injury and was sidelined for the remainder of the game. Southern was forced to punt. A big run by Smathers on the opening play of the drive game THS excellent field position to keep the ball moving. Five plays into the drive Southern’s defense forced Smathers to fumble for the second time in the game and SHS took over at its own 20 yard line. A pair of unsportsmanlike conduct penalties by the Tomcats aided Southern’s drive but the Tornado offense couldn’t convert on fourth down and THS took over. A holding penalty stalled the Tomcats and they were forced to punt to begin the fourth canto. Southern made it into Tomcat territory yet again but no fourth down conversion was to be had and THS took over at its own 39 yard line. A steady dose of the run game led Trimble down the field and into the endzone on it’s next drive. Standley scrambled all over the field and in for six points from 17 yards away capping off the six play drive. Stevens added the point after touchdown giving Trimble the 21-0 advantage with 4:56 remaining in the game. Southern managed one fourth down conversion but failed on its second fourth down attempt and THS took over with 44 seconds remaining. Trimble took a pair of kneel downs out of the victory formation and wrapped up its sixth consecutive shutout. Southern’s offense was led by Barton who had 55 yards on 14 carries, followed by Paul Ramthun with 32 yards on 13 carries. Trenton Deem ran eight times for nine yards on the night while Billingsley ran twice for three yards. Tyler O’Conner had two rushes and negative three yards, while Wolfe had 14 carries for negative nine yards. Wolfe was 3-of-11 for 42 yards through the air for the Tornadoes, while O’Conner caught two passes for 35 yards and Deem caught one for seven yards. Trimble’s big-play offense was anchored by Smathers with 11 carries for 175 yards. Justice Jenkins had five carries for 45 yards and also caught a pass for 13. Standley ran 11 times for 28 yards and was 3-of-6 passing for 149 yards. Downs had one reception for 71 yards, while Simerly had one for 65 yards and a rush for four yards. Jacob Koons had three carries for 10 yards rounding out the THS offense. The Tornadoes enjoyed a 13-9 advantage in first downs, as well as a 32:24-15:36 advantage in time of possession and a 54-37 edge in offensive plays. The Tomcats however out gained Southern 262-87 on the ground and 149-42 through the air. Trimble was penalized five times for 65 yards, while SHS was set back twice for 20 yards. The Tomcats improve to 20-0 all-time over the Tornadoes, while pushing their current winning streak to seven games. The loss snaps Southern’s two game winning streak. Before the game Southern honored seniors Jeremiah Warden, Joe Smith and Zach Davis. Southern will travel to Tuppers Plains Saturday night to face TVC Hocking rival Eastern at 7:30 p.m., while Trimble will travel to face Federal Hocking next Friday night at 7:30 p.m. Celebrating 60 Years! 446-0332 60364008 60357972 151 Second Avenue Gallipolis, Ohio �Sunday Times-Sentinel SUNDAY, OCTOBER 21, 2012 Along the River C1 The trees in their autumn beauty Amber Gillenwater mdtnews@mydailytribune.com GALLIA COUNTY — It is a show of color that only lasts during a brief period each year and, along with Friday night football, fall turkey season and trick or treating, the brilliant fall colors that adorn the area’s trees each year is the one of the best reasons to get outdoors each autumn. According to Casey Burdick, Fall Color Forester for the Ohio Department of Natural Resources, the array of colors that are casting shades of gold and deep reds across Ohio are the perfect backdrop for enjoying the cooler weather prior to the onset of winter. “It’s a great time of year because it has finally cooled off. Families really enjoy getting out and going for walks and driving through the more rural areas where you can see the woodlands changing,” she said. “So, this time of year is so nice because it is a break between the hot and, potentially, the cold weather to come. It’s an ideal time to get out.” So, what causes this color change each year? Thinking back to grade school science lessons: The leaves of a tree serve as areas where the food for the plant is manufactured. This process takes place within tiny cells containing chlorophyll, a chemical that gives a leaf its green color. Chlorophyll absorbs energy from sunlight — energy that is then used to transform carbon dioxide and water into sugars and starch. Orange and yellow pigments that give such brilliance to the woodlands for a few brief weeks each autumn are always present within tree leaves, but are only masked by the prevalence of the green chlorophyll during the summer months. As the nights grow longer, the length of daylight wanes and the cooler weather prevails each fall, the leaves stop the food manufacturing process, the chlorophyll breaks down, the green color disappears and the yellow and orange colors become visible. According to Burdick, the color of the leaves does depend upon the tree species, but the prevalence of deep reds and purples among the colors of fall are dependent upon the weather leading up to the fall color change. “Some trees can only turn yellow or orange, and then the reds and purples are actually brought on by having really sunny days in September and October,” Burdick said. “Tree species such as Black Walnut, Yellow Poplar, Green Ash — they are only capable of turning yellow or kind of a goldish-orange. Then other tree species, like any of the maples, oaks and sweetgum, if we have a lot of sunny days, then they are going to go ahead and be able to change in to that red or purple color.” Burdick also reported that length of the fall color season is dependent upon many factors including temperature, sunlight and, of course, wind and rain. “This year has been a really good year, I think. We’ve had nice sunny days, and it has been real nice all the way through September and October,” she said. “Many things play into it. If the leaves change and we have a real hard wind storm, rain storm or early frost, this can cause the leaves the drop early.” According to Burdick, most of the healthy trees in rural areas in the region are near peak, or have significant color showing, while the leaves on trees in some urban areas have already reached their peak. “This year in particular has been a little strange, I guess, because we had a hot, dry summer in some places — especially yards, along fence rows, urban trees — they changed as early as mid-September, and that was actually brought on by stress rather than actual true fall color season,” Burdick said. “I’m noticing a lot more in woodlands, and in trees that are really healthy, that the trees — probably in your area — are just starting to change or could be near peak.” Along with variations in color, tree species also plays a role in the length of time in which it takes a tree to begin to lose the green within its leaves, show the underlying pigments beneath and finally lose its leaves completely. According to Burdick, buckeyes are the earliest trees that change their foliage color and drop their leaves. They can begin changing in late August or early September. Ash trees also change their color relatively early, according to Burdick, followed by maple trees in mid-season, a time a which point the brilliance of the Photos by Amber Gillenwater l Daily Sentinel fall color change is most Fall has returned once again to the City of Gallipolis and can be seen in the array colors adorning See TREES ‌| C2 the trees surrounding the bandstand in the Gallipolis City Park.

It is perfect timing for a hike or scenic drive along the backroads. The trees in the southern portions of Ohio should be at their peak this week. According to Fall Color Forestor Casey Burdick, the southern third of the state has the best chance of seeing its fall colors last until the early part of November. �Sunday, October 21, 2012 Pomeroy • Middleport • Gallipolis Sunday Times Sentinel • Page C2 Jayln and the beanstock Charlene Hoeflich l Daily Sentinel A “Scentsy” fundraiser will be held to raise money to go into MCCI’s program of free mammograms for Meigs County women.

She’ll likely carry a suitcase as she passes out the popular kid character’s resume. “I grew up on Sesame Street and I think that PBS deserves all the funds it can get,” said Betancourt, 30. “We all feel the same way.” Halloweencostumes.com sold out of several takes on Big Bird almost overnight after Romney’s remark during the first presidential debate Oct. 3, said a company spokesman, Marlon Heimerl. “In the past this hasn’t been a very popular costume, so when Big Bird flew the coop in such high numbers, it was definitely a big surprise,” said Heimerl, who would not provide specific sales figures. Disguise Inc., Sesame Workshop’s official costume maker, said interest is up among the thousands of retailers it services. The sellers of unlicensed Big Bird, especially sexed-up versions, beware. “The only costumes authorized by Sesame Workshop are with our licensee, Disguise, and we are working with our legal team on having the others removed from the market,” said El- len Lewis, a spokeswoman from over there on Sesame Street. Betancourt went for sanctioned, sassy Big Bird in a yellow, flapperstyle feathered dress and a dainty head piece. Shannon Ziegler of suburban Detroit will be Big Birdesque in a sexier mini with mesh cutouts, ringed thigh-highs and a fluffy hat that has google eyes. Ziegler, another 6-footer, hadn’t decided between a sign that reads: “Big Bird for President” or one imploring: “Don’t Use Me.” An American flag may also be involved. “When I saw that costume,” said the 27-year-old Ziegler, “I thought, how perfect is that?” For the record, Ziegler’s a Republican who said she’ll probably vote for Romney. “Big Bird is not getting fired,” she said. “Big Bird is big and strong and he will be able to stand his ground. I think that Sesame Street will be strong no matter what.” Kimberly Wick, vice president of Costume World based in Deerfield Beach, Fla., also saw sleepy seller Big Bird become a hot seller overnight. The company sells and rents costumes of all kinds and has four stores around the country. “We had Big Bird dancing in front of our Deerfield Beach store and people were honking and going crazy,” Wick said. “It’s been 20 years since Big Bird was popular.” Wick was madly trying to replenish sold-out Big Bird looks among several the company carries for infants to adults. So who’s buying — Democrats, Republicans or those pesky undecideds? “Does Big Bird have a left wing and a right wing? I don’t know,” she said. “I guess we’ll find out.” Sara Gaugl, a spokeswoman at the Bellevue, Wash., headquarters for the large thrift store chain Savers and Value Village, said sales of all Sesame Street character costumes picked up significantly after the first debate on Oct. 3. Managers of the nearly 300 secondhand stores across the United States and Canada were also busy helping customers put together DIY Big Bird, she said. “Last year we were seeing a trend in nostalgia, such as Candy Land and Twister,” Gaugl said. “Big Bird was selling but it was not as hot of a commodity. People are not ignoring the conversation around the election.” Cheryl Kerzner, vice president for product design and marketing for San Diego-based Disguise, said her retailers have also been clamoring for more Big Bird since the debate. “It’s been crazy,” she said. “We cannot give them more. We are sold out.” Tim Waters, national political director for the United Steelworkers International Union, put Big Bird on the road at voter registration and other election-related events soon after the Oct. 3 debate, when Romney uttered these words before moderator Jim Lehrer of PBS: “I’m going to stop the subsidy to PBS. I’m going to stop other things. I like PBS, I love Big Bird. Actually, I like you, too. But I’m not going to keep on spending money on things to borrow money from China to pay for.” The 8-foot-2 character has been a huge crowd-pleaser, Waters said. “People are loving Big Bird,” he said. “I’ve never seen anything like it. They’re lined up. There are hundreds of people wanting their pictures with Big Bird. They’re hugging Big Bird, kissing Big Bird. I’m, like, what in the world are we on to here?” POMEROY — Since October is Cancer Awareness Month, the Meigs County Cancer Initiative (MCCI) is in the process of a fund raising program to help cover the cost of screening mammography services offered free to Meigs County women. The program now in its seventh year is a communitytailored breast cancer awareness and education program which increases access to mammography services and any needed follow-up service. “Komen funding has enabled hundreds of Meigs County women to receive free screening mammograms and needed follow-up as well as gasoline vouchers (now at $10) and follow-up diagnostic screening.,” said Norma Torres, program director for MCCI who, along with Carolyn Grueser, coordinates the local activity for the Susan G. Komen for the Cure. Mammograms have been performed by the Holzer Clinic Meigs Branch, as well as the OSU Mobile Van. Clients receive one-on-one services that are confidential and at their most convenient choice of clinical area. “Mammogram needs and costs have increased more than there is funding,” said Torres, “so twice a year, the MCCI’s Think Pink segment hosts fund-raisers to cover the cost of extra mammograms. On Saturday, Oct. 27, Fruth Pharmacy is holding a bake sale to raise funds for the program. The Fabric Shop has set up a window display to create better awareness of Cancer Awareness Month, and on Oct. 29 from 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. a Scentsy fundraiser will be held by Kimberly Hupp, a Scentsy representative who will donate her commission from sales to MCCI. She is a past recipient of services from MCCI. The products are described as very fragrant, while hypoallergenic and safe for children to touch. Light refreshments will be served during the display time when residents are invited to come by and view the products on display in the conference room at the Meigs County Health Department. MCCI will receive 20 percent from each sale under a total of $2,000 at which time it increases to 30 percent, all of which will go toward mammograms for Meigs County women. Orders for items on display will be taken at the show, with delivery to come a little later. For more information regarding the fund raisers or the services offered by MCCI, call Norma Torres, director, at 740-992-2161 Ext. 236, or Carolyn Grueser, administrative assistant at 740-992-3853. Newsweek had troubles as industry recovers films as “The Philadelphia Story,” ”The African Queen,” ”Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner” and “On Golden Pond.” Forty are on view at the exhibition, which runs through Jan. 12. One of the first things visitors will notice is how slender Hepburn was — she had a 20-inch waist — and a grouping of seven khaki pants artfully arranged on a pair of mannequin legs. “The fact that she wore slacks and wanted to be comfortable influenced women’s ready-to-wear in the United States,” said Jean Druesedow, director of the Kent State University Museum, which was given 700 items from Hepburn’s estate. Kent State was selected because it’s one of the country’s only museums of performance clothes. “That image said to the American woman ‘Look you don’t have to be in your girdle and stockings and tight dress. You can be comfortable. That was probably the first aspect of becoming a fashion icon,” said Druesedow, a co-curator of the exhibition. The strong-willed actress known for taking charge of her career worked closely with all her designers to decide her performing wardrobe. “They understood what would help her characters, what she would feel comfortable wearing … how it would support the story,” Druesedow said. Margaret Furse, an English designer who created Hepburn’s wardrobes for “The Lion in Winter,” ”A Delicate Balance” and “Love Among the Ruins,” went shopping with the star and talked extensively about what kinds of things would set the scene. Among the highlights is a stunning satin and lace wedding gown created by Howard Greer for her role as Stella Surrege in “The Lake.” The 1933 production was her first major Broadway role and also a huge flop. Writer and wit Dorothy Parker described her performance as running “the gamut of emotion from A to B.” The experience taught Hepburn to have a bigger say in what roles she accepted, said Barbara Cohen-Stratyner, curator of exhibitions at the New York Public Library for the Performing Arts. LOS ANGELES (AP) — Newsweek’s decision to stop publishing a print edition after 80 years and bet its life entirely on a digital future may be more a commentary on its own problems than a definitive statement on the health of the magazine industry. Magazine ad revenue in the U.S. is seen rising 2.6 percent this year to $18.3 billion, according to research firm eMarketer. That would be the third increase in three years, driven mainly by gains in digital ad sales, though print ads are expected to be flat. Paid magazine subscriptions were up 1.1 percent in the first half of the year, according to the Audit Bureau of Circulations. And while single-copy sales at newsstands are down 9.6 percent, overall circulation - the bulk of which is in print - is steady compared to a year ago. The water is so warm for the magazine industry that in the first nine months of the year, 181 new magazines were launched while only about a third as many, or 61, closed, according to publication database MediaFinder. com. By several measures, the magazine business has stabilized, albeit at a lower level, since the Great Recession ended three years ago. For some, that casts a harsher light on Newsweek’s decision to abandon print - affecting the nearly 1.4 million Newsweek subscribers who get their copy each week in the mail. They say it speaks to the magazine’s trouble connecting with and keeping its readers. That brings to mind some questionable covers, like the July 2011 what-if image depicting what Princess Diana would have looked like at age 50, or last month’s “Muslim Rage” cover depicting angry protesters, which was roundly mocked on social networks like Twitter. Newsweek is using a difficult print ad environment as an “excuse” for its decision to end print runs, said Samir Husni, director of the Magazine Innovation Center at the University of Mississippi School of Journalism. “In the southern part of Ohio, you guys are in the best place for the fall color to last the longest at this point. It should last through the beginning of November down in the southern third of Ohio is what I am expecting,” she said. With the diversity of Ohio’s forest and the extensive system of state parks and forests, it is a perfect time of year to get out and enjoy the weather and the beauty this season offers, according to Burdick. “The outdoors is very important for everyone to enjoy and having these great state parks, state for- ests, state nature preserves where people can come out and visit and see these nice natural areas rather than being cooped up at home and dealing with the daily grind of going to work and school, it’s just really important. It’s about taking the time to take a break and enjoy nature and each other,” Burdick said. “In Ohio, we are very lucky because we have a great park system, a great forest system. We also have over 100 different types of tree species scattered around the state, so, diversity plays to our benefit.” A great way to find out about fall outdoor activi- NYC exhibition: Katharine Hepburn as fashion icon NEW YORK (AP) — A new exhibition is hailing the fashion sense of Katharine Hepburn, whose trademark khakis and open-collar shirts were decidedly unconventional in the 1930s and 40s, when girdles and stockings were the order of the day. The fiercely independent Hepburn famously once said: “Anytime I hear a man say he prefers a woman in a skirt, I say, ‘Try one. Try a skirt.’” But skirts and dresses abound in “Katharine Hepburn: Dressed for Stage and Screen” at the New York Public Library for the Performing Arts, which opens Thursday. Hepburn, who died in 2003 at age 96, saved almost all the costumes from her long career that included four Oscars and such memorable choeflich@mydailysentinel.com Trees From Page C1 notable, and then, lastly, by the larger tree species, such as hickory and oak — trees that finish out the season.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHHH Zero in on necessities. Realize when you have had enough and also when you would like to be more frivolous. Part of you allows greater give-and-take with others.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHHH You feel as if you have a tiger by the tail. Use your high energy and growing self-confidence to forge ahead in a particular area of your life.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHH Maintain a low profile, and listen to what is being said without butting in. Your observations could draw some very steady and important insights. You could be unpredictable, for better or worse, with your funds. Be aware of this trait. Tonight: Do something just for you.

Restaurant cell phone distractions still irritate Stellar duo target Ohio’s ALBANY, N.Y. (AP) — The digital divide is wider than ever between diners who talk, tweet and snap pictures mid-meal and those who wish they’d just shut up, shut down and be present. Caught at the center of the discord are restaurant owners and chefs, who must walk the careful line of good customer service for both those who dine under the influence of smart phones, and those who won’t. But as the devices have morphed into an unrelenting appendage for texting, photography and games, more restaurateurs are challenged to keep the peace. Owners who once relied mostly on “no cell phones, please” signs, increasingly are experimenting with everything from penalties for using phones, discounts for not and outright bans on photography. working class for Obama PARMA, Ohio (AP) — Lest anyone forget the importance of Ohio’s white, working-class voters, President Barack Obama sent a clear reminder on Thursday. Make that two reminders: Bill (Clinton) and The Boss (Bruce Springsteen), two aging baby boomers still at the top of their game. “No retreat, believe me, no surrender,” Springsteen sang, performing without the backing of his E Street Band in a darkened gymnasium lit by a spotlight. The lyrics seemed aimed both at the president and his supporters. With less than three weeks until Election Day, Clinton and Springsteen took the stage to rally support for Obama among the critical middle-class voting bloc in this tightly contested Midwestern swing state. “For 30 years, I’ve been writing about the divide between the American dream and the American reality,” Springsteen said. “Our vote is the one principal way we get to determine that distance.” Clinton implored voters to reward Obama for bailing out the auto industry, which has deep roots in Ohio. “When you were down, you were out, and your whole economy was threatened, the president had your back,” said the former president and a top surrogate for Obama.
