Whitlatch, 34 Betty Workman, 74 Clifford H. Wood, 86 County is closer to Rutland sewer district transfer Sarah Hawley shawley@heartlandpublications.com POMEROY — During Thursday’s meeting, the Meigs County Commissioners moved one step closer to the transfer of the Village of Rutland water and sewer services to the county. The commissioners had approved and ordinance in early March to establish the Meigs County Water and Sewer District. The village had previously approved the sale and transfer of complete ownership and operation of the village’s water distribution system and sewer collection and treatment systems. The resolution passed by the commissioners will allow for the Meigs County Board of Commissioners to own and operate the Water and Sewer facilities under the authority of the Ohio Revised Code 6103 and 6117, respectively. During Thursday’s meeting funds were established in the name of Rutland Sewer Fund and Rutland Water Fund. both funds include subcategories of contractual, materials/supplies, capital, and principle/interest. The sewer fund also includes the subcategory advances out. $3,075 was appropriated into advances out from certified unappropriated funds. While there is no specific date set for the transfer of the water and sewer systems from the village to the county, the change may happen by the end of the year. According to President of the Meigs County Board of Commissioners Tom Anderson, the Rutland Village systems have approximately 271 customers. Anderson stated that the county would take on the current systems to pay the debts and manage it. The county would hire someone, possibly a contractor, to run the sewer plant. Water currently comes to the village from Leading Creek Water which will continue. Until the time of the official transfer the Village of Rutland maintains operation and control of the systems. In other business, the commissioners accepted a bid by Ron Evans Excavating Inc. in the amount of $30,699 for the HSTS septic project. A resolution was approved for the appointment of Chris Shank, Terri Ingels, Vince Reiber, and Andrea Weakley to the family services planning committee. The commissioners authorized the county engineer to purchase a 2013 Tandem Dump Body, V- Box and Snow Plow as bid by Ace Trucking Equipment in the amount of $51,568.

Grant program to find adoptive homes for children Staff Report mdsnews@mydailysentinel.com Motorcycles line Pomeroy’s center block for the annual toy run. Photos by Charlene Hoeflich l Daily Sentinel Riding for Christmas toys for kids Charlene Hoeflich choeflich@mydailysentinel.com POMEROY — Dozens of kids who might not otherwise get Christmas gifts will be remembered because of the dedication of Meigs County Motorcyclists who for the past 26 years have staged a toy run. This year’s event was held Saturday and about a hundred motorcyclists turned out to donate to the project and to encourage others to give. Members staged a “fill the helmet” campaign giving motorists traveling along Main Street the opportunity to contribute to the project of remembering disadvantaged children at Christmastime. The event not only had the philanthropic feature, but it provided a fun time for the bikers. Motorcyclists registered at Gloeckners where each one made a $10 donation before the kickoff. Leaving Pomeroy, they traveled to Chester, stopping at Summerfields,visited the River City Sports Bar in Pomeroy, Mizway at the intersection of Ohio 7 and 143, and then on to Corn Hollow where they enjoyed food and entertainment, had a Chinese auction, sold t-shirts, and had a 50-50 drawing to raise more money. All of the money raised will be given to the Meigs One by one the motorcycles leave on the toy run. Cooperative Parish which this year will be handling the distribution of toys. Beginning on Nov. 1 and continuing through Nov. 30, applications will be taken at the Parish from those who need a helping hand in providing their children with Christmas gifts. To be eligible to participate families must fall within the federal poverty guidelines. Eastern National Honor Society inducts new members Sarah Hawley shawley@heartlandpublications.com TUPPERS PLAINS — Fourteen new members were inducted into the Eastern National Honor Society during Tuesday morning’s induction ceremony. Prior to the induction of the new members, historian Marshall Aanestad gave a brief history of the National Honor Society and the Eastern High School Chapter. “The National Honor Society is the nation’s premier organization established to recognize outstanding high school students. More than just an honor roll, National Honor Society serves to honor those students who have demonstrated excellence in the areas of Scholarship, Leadership, Service, and Character. These characteristics have been associated with membership in the organization since it’s beginning in 1921. Each year an induction ceremony is held to acknowledge certain students from the school.” “Started in 1964, this is the 49th anniversary of Eastern High School’s chapter of the National Honor Society.

MEIGS COUNTY — The Meigs County Department of Job and Family Services (DJSF), Athens County Children’s Services and the Dave Thomas Foundation for Adoption are pleased to enter into a partnership through the foundation’s signature program, Wendy’s Wonderful Kids. Through a grant made possible by the Ohio DJFS and administered by the Athens County Children’s Services, this intensive, child-focused recruitment program will help to identify permanent adoptive homes for children in Meigs County and several surrounding counties in southeast Ohio. Studies have shown that the Wendy’s Wonderful Kids program has positive outcomes for children over the age of 15, whose likelihood of adoption while working with a Wendy’s Wonderful Kids recruiter is three times higher than the state average. “We are very excited about the opportunity for Meigs County children to work with a recruiter trained in the Wendy’s Wonderful Kids model and appreciate the ef- forts of Athens County Children’s Services to secure this grant and for giving Meigs and surrounding counties the opportunity to partner with them on this program,” said Chris Shank, director of the Meigs County DJFS. The seven-county area that will be served by the Wendy’s Wonderful Kids recruiter includes Athens, Gallia, Jackson, Lawrence, Meigs, Perry and Washington counties. Currently, there are 186 children in foster care in these counties, and of those children, 33 are legally free for adoption. Southeast Ohio is the only region in the state without a large metropolitan pool of potential adoptive families from which to draw, which can make recruitment for children difficult. Additionally, five of the counties participating in the southeast Ohio arm of the Wendy’s Wonderful Kids program currently have no financial support from a levy and have been hit particularly hard by cuts in the state budget. For more information about becoming an adoptive or foster parent, please contact the agency at 740-9922117, ext. 123 or visit the websites at 992caremeigs. com or www.meigsdjfs.net.

Singer Bissell. She was a graduate of Eastern High School, and lost her courageous and uncomplaining three year battle with cancer on Saturday, October 20, 2012, at Holzer Medical Center in Gallipolis, with her loving family by her side. She was 63 years of age. She was a much loved wife, mother, daughter, sister and friend and Karen loved much in return. Karen is survived by her loving husband and friend of nearly 20 years, Larry Bowcott, of Gallipolis, where the two resided all of their married life. She leaves two children, Anthony (Miranda) Grate and Tracey Grate of Rutland; stepson, Eric (Jo Beth) Bowcott of Gallipolis; three grandchildren, Elliotte, Lane and Levi; and, one step-grandson, Logan Bowcott. She is also survived by four sisters and five brothers, Helen (Sheldon) Garverick of Lexington, Frona Riffle of Long Bottom, Ada (Curtis) Randolph of Hillsboro, Naomi Hawes of Jackson, Delbert Bissell of Lithopolis, Douglas (Carolyn) Bissell of Tuppers Plains, Glen (Melissa) Bissell of Racine, David (Nancy) Bissell of Bristol, W.Va., Robert (Sally) Bissell of Pomeroy. Karen is also survived by sisters-in-law, Barbara Bissell of Tuppers Plains, and Carolyn Bissell of Reedsville; brother-in-law Russell (Linda) Bowcott of Gallipolis; sisters-inlaw Lorraine (Roy) Sprague of Gallipolis, Wanda Kay of Southside, W.Va., Mary Lou (Delbert) League of North Ridgeville, Ohio. She will be missed by many nieces and nephews. In addition to her parents, Karen was preceded in death by brothers, Charles Dannie, Roger L., and Dwight Ray Bissell; sister-in-law, Donna Jean Bissell; brother-in-law, Roy F. Riffle; and great nephew, Scott Garverick. Karen was a member of the Nazarene Church in Gallipolis. She and Larry attended many NASCAR races with their camper decorated in support of their drivers Dale Earnhardt, Sr. and later Dale Earnhardt, Jr. She enjoyed watching the Ohio State Buckeyes and kept well informed on political issues and current world affairs. Karen was rightfully proud of her family. Once, after finishing a meal at a restaurant with her children, she was surprised when the cashier told her the bill was already paid “by someone who wanted to pay for their meal because they seemed such a nice family.” Karen was the ultimate caregiver. As the 10th of 13 children, she was only 8 years old when she became an aunt for the first time and had at least one new nephew or niece every year until she had her own children. She helped her brothers and sisters by entertaining, befriending and caring for their children. She cared for a family friend’s wheelchair bound daughter. She was a candystriper (teenage hospital volunteer wearing a brightly striped uniform). She worked 20 years at Gallipolis Developmental Center with the most severely disabled and valued each of them. She helped care for her mother the last ten years of her Mom’s life, spending two nights weekly with her while holding a full-time job. Karen loved nature’s beauty. Autumn was her favorite season. She made certain that there were pumpkins and colorful mums on her porch as well as her Mother’s porch. Karen was too ill this year to take the yearly October trip to the Tennessee Smokey Mountains to enjoy the season’s change of colors; however, Larry made sure the pumpkins and mums were displayed and built a ramp so he could bring Karen home from the hospital and wheel her to view the fall foliage from their porch. Larry also decorated inside the house with fall colors for Karen to enjoy. Karen planted flowers in the spring, always finding something new to add to the favorite standbys. In recent years, she discovered lantana and Indian Blanket, very old flowers, but new to her. This spring, Larry planted the flowers but Karen wasn’t able to get outdoors very often to enjoy them. She enjoyed sitting in the front room with Larry in the mornings, drinking coffee and talking and observing all the different kinds of birds that came to their many trees. Karen made sure her Mother always had a corsage to wear to church on Mother’s Day and Easter. If she had to work that weekend, the delivery truck would pull in her Mother’s drive on Saturday, and we all knew “There’s the orchid from Karen.” She made sure her Mother had a decorated tree every Christmas, even after she was diagnosed with cancer. Karen liked to laugh. We will laugh again, she would want that. But, oh it does hurt so much to give up so much beauty. But we get to keep the precious memories. Thanks for much for those dear wife, mother, daughter, sister and friend. You are loved. Funeral service will be held at 1 p.m. on Thursday, October 25, 2012, at Anderson McDaniel Funeral Home in Pomeroy. Officiating will be Rev. Curtis Randolph and Charlie Bissell (Nephew to Karen). Burial will follow in Chester Cemetery. Friends may call from 4-9 p.m. on Wednesday, October 24, at the funeral home. An on-line registry is available at www.andesonmcdaniel.com.

But come January, 163 million workers can expect to feel the pinch of a big tax increase regardless of who wins the election. A temporary reduction in Social Security payroll taxes is due to expire at the end of the year and hardly anyone in Washington is pushing to extend it. Neither Obama nor Romney has proposed an extension, and it probably wouldn’t get through Congress anyway, with lawmakers in both parties down on the idea. Even Republicans who have sworn off tax increases have little appetite to prevent one that will cost a typical worker about $1,000 a year, and twoearner family with six-figure incomes as much as $4,500. Why are so many politicians sour on continuing the payroll tax break? Republicans question whether reducing the tax two years ago has done much to stimulate the sluggish economy. Politicians from both parties say they are concerned that it threatens the independent revenue stream that funds Social Security. They are backed by powerful advocates for seniors, including AARP, who adamantly oppose any extension. “The payroll tax holiday was intended to be temporary and there is strong bipartisan support to let that tax provision expire,” said Sen. Orrin Hatch of Utah, the top Republican on the Senate Finance Committee. “The continued extension of a temporary payroll tax holiday has serious long-term implications for Social Security and, frankly, it’s not even clear that it has helped to boost our ailing economy.” The question of renewing the payroll tax cut has been overshadowed by the expiration of a much bigger package of tax cuts first enacted under President George W. Bush. The Bush-era tax cuts also expire at the end of the year, and Congress is expected to try to address them after the election, in a lame-duck session. The payroll tax cut could become part of the mix in negotiations that could go in many directions. But lawmakers in both political parties say they doubt it. “I think there’s a growing consensus that Congress and the president can’t continue to divert such a critical revenue stream from Social Security,” said Rep. Kevin Brady of Texas, a senior Republican on the tax-writing House Ways and Means Committee. “I think more and more Americans understand that that payroll tax cut, while politically appealing, is endangering Social Security.” Before he was named as Romney’s running mate, Rep. Paul Ryan, R-Wis., disparaged the payroll tax cut, calling it “sugar-high economics” that wouldn’t promote long-term growth. Social Security is funded by a 12.4 percent tax on wages up to $110,100, rising to $113,700 in 2013. Half is paid by employers and the other half is paid by workers. For 2011 and 2012, Congress and Obama cut the share paid by workers from 6.2 percent to 4.2 percent. A worker making $50,000 saved $1,000 a year, or a little more than $19 a week. A worker making $100,000 saved $2,000 a year. The beauty of the tax cut is that is shows up in weekly paychecks, giving workers more money to spend or save. The downside is that some workers may not notice a $19-a-week increase in pay, making them unlikely to credit the politicians who made it happen. Under the law, Congress is reimbursing Social Security for the lost revenue, estimated at $103 billion in 2011 and $112 billion in 2012. But Congress didn’t cut spending or raise other taxes to offset the lost revenue, so the payroll tax cut is being financed with borrowed money, adding to the national debt. Democrats are more willing to defend the tax cut, saying it helped prop up the economy during a rough stretch while providing what amounted to The Daily Sentinel Reader Services Correction Policy Our main concern in all stories is to be accurate.

But they, too, are concerned about maintaining Social Security’s source of revenue. “I think people realize that was a temporary thing,” said Sen. Mark Begich, D-Alaska. Rep. Richard Neal of Massachusetts, a senior Democrat on the Ways and Means Committee, said he thinks there is evidence that the tax cut helped the economy. But, he added, “I’m not sure that it met expectations.” House Democratic leader Nancy Pelosi of California said she, too, wants to let the tax cut expire. Larry Summers, Obama’s former economic adviser, is a lonely voice in Washington calling to extend the payroll tax cut. He said in a recent speech that the economy is too fragile to reduce workers’ incomes. Obama pushed for the tax cut in late 2010 as a way to increase workers’ take-home pay to help boost consumer spending and provide a spark for the economy. Economists were divided on the economic benefits. Many said it probably helped increase consumer spending but there was no consensus on the magnitude. The initial tax cut was for only a year, and many Republicans in Congress wanted to let it lapse at the end of 2011. But Obama and Democratic lawmakers successfully fought to extend it through 2012. Obama, however, didn’t include the tax cut in his 2013 budget proposal, and Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner told Congress this year that he saw no reason to extend it again. White House spokeswoman Amy Brundage wouldn’t rule out an extension but wouldn’t commit to one, either. “The president fought extremely hard last year in the face of Republican opposition to ensure that the payroll tax cut was extended,” Brundage said. “There are a number of tax issues that Congress will have to deal with at the end of the year, this being one of them, and we will continue to evaluate all of the options available to us at that time.” Page 4 Tuesday, October 23, 2012 Release of abuse files: new challenge for Scouts David Crary & Rebecca Boone The Associated Press True to their motto, the Boys Scouts tried to be prepared. For months, they braced for the backlash sure to follow the court-ordered release of voluminous confidential files detailing decades of alleged sex abuse by Scout leaders. Now the files are public, lawyers are calling for a congressional investigation and the Boy Scouts of America — as so often in recent years — finds itself embattled. The files released last week are old — dating from 1959 to 1985. Many of the alleged abusers listed in the files may well be dead. And the Scouts, while apologizing for past mistakes, have significantly improved their youth protection program in recent years. Still, release of 14,500 pages on alleged abusers is an unwelcome development for an organization struggling to halt a decades-long membership drop while incurring relentless criticism for its policy of excluding gays. “It does pose a challenge for the Scouts, whether they’re going to be able to win back the confidence of the public,” said David Finkelhor, director of the Crimes Against Children Research Center at the University of New Hampshire. “I’m sure for some period of time, there’s going to be a concern.” Before the files’ release, the Scouts commissioned an internal review by a University of Virginia psychiatrist, Dr. Janet Warren, who tallied more than 1,600 abuse victims in her review of the confidential records. She described the rate of abuse with the Scouts as “very low” compared to the national rate, and suggested boys were safer in the Scouts than elsewhere in their communities. Since the files were released — the consequence of a successful $20 million lawsuit against the Scouts in Portland, Ore. — the BSA has apologized for not following up on some of the allegations that were documented. It also has stressed the strides made by the organization to improve its youth protection policy. Among other measures, the Scouts now prohibit one-on-one adult-youth activities, mandate criminal background checks for all staff who work with youth and include an insert for parents about child protection in the handbook issued to new scouts. All adult volunteers must take child-protection training and also are directed to report suspected child abuse to law enforcement authorities and Scout leaders, even if this would not be required by state law. However, the Scouts say they don’t have data to document trends regarding abuse within their ranks, a source of frustration to experts who’d like to track the impact of the new policies. The two lead lawyers in the Portland lawsuit — Kelly Clark and Paul Mones — note that the Scouts are a congressionally chartered organization and are now asking Congress to investigate the effective- 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.

Wayne Perry, the Scouts’ national president, said he’d welcome any inquiry. “We’ll be there,” he said Monday. “We’ll talk about where we fell short in the past and where we are today and how important it is to protect kids.” Many people posting their views on social media questioned the Scouts’ recently reaffirmed policy of excluding gays while seemingly shielding child abusers in their midst. “It’s a double whammy for the Boy Scouts right now because they’re already under the gun because of the gay issue,” said Thomas Plante, a professor at Santa Clara University who researched the Roman Catholic Church’s clergy sex abuse scandal. He noted that both the Scouts and Catholic hierarchy had disapproving policies toward homosexuality, yet failed to grapple forthrightly with sex abuse. “That contradiction, that hypocrisy, creates that much more of a story,” Plante said. But the Scouts have legions of staunchly loyal supporters, including several of the nation’s major conservative religious denominations who have given no sign of disaffection. The Mormons’ Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints charters more than 37,000 Scout troops with a youth membership of more than 420,000; Roman Catholic parishes charter about 8,500 units with about 283,000 members. Some in the Scouts’ extended family — the moms, dads and kids that trek to troop meetings every week, pack up for campouts every summer, spend their weekends practicing knot-tying and fire building and flag folding — were quick to rally in support. Ken Miller, a first-year assistant scoutmaster with Troop 1085 in the Detroit suburb of Berklee, Mich., said he remains a firm believer in the Scouts’ mission even after reading about the files. “With the latest media accounts, I think it’s going to have an effect of scaring some people off,” Miller said. “But in the long run, I think this will all be a benefit because scouting has been under such scrutiny, and the organization has made changes designed to prevent this from happening again.” Patrick Boyle, a journalist who in the early 1990s was among the first to expose efforts by the BSA to hide the extent of sex abuse among Scout leaders, said the files will serve as a valuable tool for other youth groups. “You have to be blind not to see the patterns of abuse in scouting when you read these files,” Boyle said. “If you ran an after-school program, a sports league, a YMCA, you should look at these to see how abusers get access to these organizations, how they get access to abuse kids.” Indeed, most major youth groups, over the past decade or two, have already instituted protection policies similar to those adopted by the Scouts.

I put up all the money for the rent, inventory, etc., and they didn’t have anything to invest, but they promised to work in the store every day and teach classes. Well, we are struggling along, and both of my friends are flaking out. They don’t show up when they are supposed to, and I’m left holding the bag. I am so disappointed and hurt, but I’m still trying to be nice. How can I get through to them? — D.K. Dear D.K.: It is very difficult to move from an arena of friendship into one that is strictly business, especially when all the risk is on your shoulders. Because of that fact, there’s a good reason why your friends are looking at things a bit differently: They have nothing to lose! While a couple of more responsible people would have acted very differently, your friends have just not been motivated — by good character, hard work, a mutual dream or anything else — to want the same things you want from this adventure. By putting up all the money yourself, you’ve moved into a different scenario than the one they are casually toying with. I’m sure it is very stressful. Because these women started out as friends and failed to develop as business partners, you need to decide if they need to be replaced — as friends, business partners or even both. At this point, the business needs to be your first concern. Dear Dr. Let them know Brothers: Afthat you value ter working at their friendhome for sevship, but also eral years, I let them know went to work in that they the office a few haven’t shown months ago. that they care I’ve had a very much about hard time adyours by holdjusting to the ing up their end distractions of the bargain and noise. when it comes This place is to work.

Leadership should exert a wholesome influence on the school. In taking the initiative in class and other school activities, the real leader strives to train and aid others to attain the same objective. Leadership is always needed and is thus an essential charge to each of our members and to the candidates. Service can be expressed in various ways. In the routine of the day’s work, many opportunities arise to help others. Recognition for the benefits of those in need is the quality we seek in our membership. The Eastern High School chapter of the National Honor Society has participated in a variety of service projects throughout the years such as, delivering Christmas cookies; the Angel Tree program; Christmas shoe boxes; Cooperative Parish food distribution; Chester Courthouse dinner; junior high assembly for tobacco awareness; Easter at Arcadia; and Jump Rope for Heart. Character is the force within each individual which distinguishes that person from others. It gives each one individuality and personality. Without character no one can stay under the radar. — J.M. Dear J.M.: You are not alone. The idea of openplan offices was hatched several decades ago, when America was trying to increase its productivity compared with foreign superstars. The idea was to promote synergism: People who were in close contact could share ideas easily and come up with better contributions to the business than when working alone. Teams would be formed and function more easily, co-workers would bond and so forth. But today we know from experience and formal studies that noise, lack of privacy and opportunities for unproductive conversations have stood in the way of the open-office utopia. Because you were used to working at home, where it was quiet and you were in control of your environment, it may take you a little longer to adjust to the office. It may be that if you can take charge of the noise by wearing earphones or buds while you work, the added control over your environment will lower your stress. Try to set up a time each day when your colleagues know that you are to be interruption-free. Take conversations to an office if the lack of privacy will restrict your ability to communicate. Go out for lunch to decompress. Give it some time, and institute as many control-creating procedures as you can, and your adjustment will be easier.

Sophomore midfielder Caio Cruz added to goals of his own for Rio, which won for the 12th straight time and assured itself of no worse than a share of the MSC regular season championship. The RedStorm (12-1 overall, 8-0 MSC), who can claim the title outright with a win on Wednesday night at Bluefield (Va.) College, also assured themselves of the top seed in the upcoming MSC Tournament regardless of the outcome in Wednesday’s meeting with the Rams. Rio holds the tie-breaker with second place Lindsey Wilson, which has already finished its league slate at 8-1. The Blue Raiders’ lone conference loss came at the hands of the RedStorm on September 29. Campbellsville had an eightgame unbeaten streak and a sixgame winning streak snapped with the loss, falling to 11-4-1 overall and 6-2 in the conference. Senior defender Brodie Steigerwald gave head coach Scott Morrissey’s team what proved to be the only goal it would need just under 14 minutes into the match when he scored off an assist from Hewitt-Fisher. Hewitt-Fisher scored the first of his two markers with 3:52 left before intermission, with the assist going to senior forward Richard Isberner, to make it 2-0. Cruz blistered a shot past CU goal keeper Max Malachiyev just 3:43 into the second half before scoring again at 57:38 off an assist by Hewitt-Fisher to extend the cushion to 4-0. Hewitt-Fisher capped the scoring with a nifty goal, via a pass from junior Craig Davies, with 9-1/2 minutes remaining. Nine of the 11 Rio players touched the ball on the possession. The RedStorm enjoyed a whop- ping 23-6 edge in shots, including 15-2 in the second stanza. Rio’s edge in shots on goal was 13-2. Senior goal keeper Jack Marchant stopped a pair of shots en route to a shutout effort for Rio. Malachiyev went the distance in net for the Tigers as was credited with eight saves. Hewitt-Fisher, Steigerwald, Isberner and Marchant were among a group of seven Rio seniors honored prior to kickoff. Also recognized were forward Rafael Maccauro, defender Mike Burney and defender Brandon Tyler. Bryan Walters l Daily Sentinel Gallia Academy sophomore Michael Edelmann hits his stride in this September 4 file photo of the Coaches Corner Invitational held in Centenary, Ohio. Gallia Academy CC advances three to regionals Bryan Walters bwalters@heartlandpublications.com RIO GRANDE, Ohio — For the first time in eight years, the Gallia Academy girls team failed to advance to regionals after placing fifth Saturday at the Division II District Cross Country Championships held on the campus of the University of Rio Grande. The Blue Angels posted a team score of 137 in the District I event, which was 25 points behind fourthplace Warren (112) for the final regional qualifying spot.

The top four teams and 16 runners in each race qualify for regionals. It will be the third regional appearance for both Watts and Holley, the only girls from the Ohio Valley Publishing area to qualify for D-2 regionals. Meigs finished seventh in the District I event with 179 points and River Valley was 10th overall in the District II event with 282 points. The Lady Raiders lost a tiebreaker with Miami Trace because it didn’t have a sixth runner. On the boys side of Division II, GAHS sophomore Michael Edelmann was the lone male qualifier from the OVP area after placing 11th overall in the District II race.

Second half rally lifts Tigers past Rio Grande Randy Payton Special to OVP RIO GRANDE, Ohio — Alex Shaffer’s goal just over 17 minutes into the second half snapped a scoreless tie and kickstarted Campbellsville University on its way to a 3-0 win over the University of Rio Grande, Saturday night, in Mid-South Conference women’s soccer action at Evan E. Davis Field. Toria Alsip and Kailene Allis added goals in the win for the Tigers, who improved to 8-6-1 overall and 6-2 in the MSC with a third straight shutout victory. Rio Grande slipped to 6-9 overall and 2-6 in league play with the loss and was denied in its quest to equal a singleseason school record for wins. The setback also cost head coach Callum Morris’ squad a shot at the program’s first .500 or better regular season finish. The RedStorm were outshot by their guests, 21-3, including 15-2 in the pivotal second half. Shaffer scored off an assist from Bailey McDonough at 62:14 to give Campbellsville the lead and Alsip added an unassisted marker just under 11 minutes later to make it 2-0. Allis set the final score with 4:05 remaining in the contest, scoring her first collegiate goal via a feed from teammate Jessica Ralph. Brandi Hagerman, the reigning MSC Defensive Player of the Week, stopped all three Rio shots in goal en route to her ninth shutout win of the year for the Tigers. Sophomore goal keeper Allison Keeney recorded eight saves in a losing cause for the RedStorm. Saturday’s game was the final home outing for seniors Katie Fuller and Venessa Montgomery, both of whom were honored in post-game ceremonies. Rio Grande will get another shot at a record-tying win on Wednesday night when it wraps up regular season play at Bluefield (Va.) College. Kickoff is set for 5 p.m. RedStorm volleyball wins two of three Randy Payton Special to OVP PORTSMOUTH, Ohio — The University of Rio Grande volleyball team enjoyed a profitable weekend by winning two of its three outings in a Mid-South Conference Crossover event hosted by Shawnee State University. The RedStorm upped its record to 17-8 overall and 8-3 in the MSC by defeating the University of the Cumberlands and Campbellsville University before suffering a loss to Lindsey Wilson College. Head coach Billina Donaldson’s club posted a 3-0 (25-14, 25-18, 25-21) win over Cumberlands on Friday night and outlasted Campbellsville 3-2 (25-23, 19-25, 21-25, 25-16, 15-10) on Saturday morning, but was denied a sweep which could’ve left the RedStorm in sole possession of second place in the league as a result of a 3-1 (25-16, 25-18, 20-25, 25-12) loss to Lindsey Wilson Saturday afternoon. Senior outside hitter Whitney Smith led Rio in Friday’s win, collecting a match-best 11 kills and 12 digs. She also tied senior middle blocker Erin Sherman for team honors with two blocks.

You will spend many one-on-one moments together. This person could become your best friend if you are attached, and possibly even your sweetie if you are single. You have many dynamic ideas, some of which you might choose to act on sooner rather than later. You also could manifest a cherished dream this year. Clarify and confirm details when feeling in doubt. AQUARIUS is as strong as you, but in a different way. 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 Boredom is not likely to be an issue, thanks to those around you. Many people who form the framework of your daily life could seek you out. Your imagination loves wondering what is going on beyond the words of others. Tonight: Celebrate your friends. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHH Others look up to you, as you are able to see many different paths to a goal. You know how to delegate, explain and take an active role in the direction of a project. A partner or loved one comes forward with a quirky, fun idea. Tonight: Where the action is. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHHHH Stay on top of calls and other forms of communication. You have a unique ability to see what is going on behind others’ words. Your sense of humor comes out, but do not let anyone know what is putting a big smile on your face. Tonight: Break a pattern. CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHH Your instincts come through with a joint money matter, yet you still might not be sure in which direction you should head in order to maximize your gains. News from a distance or a discussion with someone in the know helps you clarify a decision. Tonight: Time for a chat with someone. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHHH Others happily come forward and pitch in, which makes your life easier. A meeting or a get-together with a group of friends makes a big difference in your life. A close loved one or friend inspires you to go for what you thought was not possible. Tonight: Say “yes” to a fun invitation. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHHH You will remain level and focused, despite a misunderstanding that is brewing. You could try to circumvent the issue by confirming and clarifying information, yet somehow confusion still seems to be looming. A partner or dear friend inspires you, but adds an element of uncertainty to your life. Tonight: Off to the gym. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHHHH Your imagination plays into your decision-making role, for better or for worse. To succeed, you’ll need to infuse the issue at hand with a dose of reality. Test out an idea on a friend who tends to be grounded in his or her beliefs. News you hear might be a distorted version of the truth. Tonight: Frisky, aren’t we? SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHHH Clear up a problem by rooting out the issue that’s causing it rather than making nice. Incorporate more of your imagination into your day-to-day life, and try to add more magic to the status quo. Reach out for more of your dreams and desires. Tonight: Happy at home. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHHHH Opportunities open up out of the blue. Others head toward you with one offer after another. A person might dream of a happening like this, but to have it occur is remarkable. Confusion or a misunderstanding could muck up plans. Tonight: Be direct yet gracious. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHHH Curb a need to spend right now, even if it seems like it’s for a good purpose. That “good purpose” still will be there in several days. A meeting allows you to witness someone’s resourcefulness and blend it with yours. Could you make a great team? It is highly likely. Tonight: Your treat. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHHHH You seem to be in your own world, as your imagination could be spinning quite a tale. You also could be enjoying a very fun and somewhat emotionally fulfilling time with a child or loved one. Use care with your funds — a mistake could happen easily. Tonight: Only as you like. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHHH If someone volunteers to pitch in or take over, even if it is just doing the dishes or some other mundane chore, say “yes.” You need some much-needed time off. Relax, and let your imagination design a plan to accomplish a long-coveted desire. Tonight: Keep some things to yourself.

Jim Freeman In The Open If you are a hunter, chances are this happened (or will happen) to you: you’ll carefully take aim, disengage the safety on your firearm, gently the squeeze the trigger… and totally miss your target. There are many reasons people miss what should be an easy shot, and to help salve your pain let me assure you that the perfect shot is the end result of a complex chain of events, when you consider all of the variables involved it may seem like a miracle that we are ever able to place a projectile even close to a chosen target. Variables that factor into shot placement include the hunter (eyesight and marksmanship ability), the firearm and its condition, ammunition, the distance from the shooter to the target, angle of elevation, wind speed and direction, lighting, trigger squeeze, respiration, recoil (flinching), shooting position and then the nature of the target itself. Bear in mind these are just the things I thought up off the top of my head; a more complete list would be much longer. So perhaps the question shouldn’t be “Why did I miss?” but “How in the heck do we ever manage to hit anything at all?” Here in Ohio, particularly during deer gun season, some of these factors are minor or almost inconsequential. For instance the wind speed or direction doesn’t much matter when you are shooting heavy shotgun slugs at a target the size of a paper plate at 50 yards. For varmint hunters and for our rifle-hunting friends across the river, some of the other factors can definitely come into play. It seems to me that marksmanship is becoming a forgotten art; more and more hunters are getting into gadgets to enhance the experience of the hunt - new decoys, blinds, clothing, scents, stands, video and still cameras, trail cameras, smart phone apps, all-terrain vehicles, feeders, you-name-it - it’s easy to get caught up in having all the right paraphernalia and to forget the basics. Why even bother? Marksmanship, we teach in hunter education, is of great importance - primarily to ensure a swift, clean and humane kill of the target. A sportsman never wants to be responsible for needless suffering. There are other benefits as well: a well-placed shot through the vitals damages up less meat and can make field dressing a much easier (and less-smelly) task, it can also greatly reduce the amount of time you spend tracking wounded game, plus there is just the satisfaction that sportsmen can take in quality marksmanship. Furthermore with the price of ammo, particularly some of the premium shotgun slug loads, who can afford to waste it? Marksmanship starts long before the hunt by fostering a sort of mental confidence and awareness in your abilities and those of your firearm; knowing yourself and your limitations, and knowing your gun. My first piece of advice is to have an appropriate firearm; nothing will develop poor shooting habits or ruin good marksmanship quicker than a gun that you are subconsciously afraid to shoot. Nobody, not even big, tough guys, like getting walloped by heavy guns and cartridges. Personally I hate recoil and muzzle blast, that’s why my favorite muzzleloading load uses only 80 grains of powder pushing a 240-grain bullet - the gun will handle up to 150 grains of powder, but that extra 70 grains doesn’t do me a bit of good. When it comes to rifles, if I can’t kill it with a .270 Winchester or .3006 Springfield, I wouldn’t want to hunt it (fortunately those particular calibers can handle pretty much anything found on this continent). When the metal meets the meat, good shot placement is always more important than bullet energy, that’s why I advocate having “just enough” gun. Also as we get older our eyesight will change. I have always been a fairly decent marksman, even when I had to start wearing glasses for nearsightedness, but good shot placement got a lot more complicated once I started needing bifocals. At first I thought my scopes were being weird, but it was just my eyes. So even if your gun hasn’t changed after spending 10 months in the gun cabinet, perhaps your eyes have. Your eye doctor can tell you for sure. Before you head to the range, make sure your firearm is clean and in safe operating order (no obstructions in the barrel!) and that all the sighting components, scope mounts, etc. are snug and secure. Sight in your firearms shooting at a known distance, say 50 or 100 yards, using a steady shooting position from a bench or in the prone position with the firearm resting firmly on sandbags or some other secure rest. Practice having a solid and consistent stock and cheek weld - that is with the butt of the firearm placed firmly into your shoulder with your cheek resting on the stock - and do exactly the same way with every single shot. Squeeze (don’t pull or yank) the trigger during pauses in breathing; develop a smooth, steady trigger squeeze; it should come as a surprise to you when the gun goes off. Dry-firing is a good way to practice this. When I was young we were told to never dry fire a gun because we could damage it, the chances of this happening with a modern firearm is slim to none, so go ahead and practice trigger squeeze with dry firing (pointed in a safe direction of course). Above all, practice, practice, practice; there is no substitute for experience. That way, when the moment comes to squeeze the trigger during the big hunt, you’ll be confident in your abilities to make that swift, humane kill.

Miller hasn’t been the sole reason that the Buckeyes have a perfect record and a top-10 ranking this season, after going just 6-7 a year ago. But he’s the biggest reason. Miller lay motionless for several minutes after Purdue defensive back Josh Johnson’s tackle late in the third quarter on Saturday. After several minutes, he sat up, then was helped to his feet. With great effort, and flanked by trainers helping him take each step, he slowly walked to the sideline and then was carted to the locker room. He later was taken to the hospital where he was treated and released. Shortly after the Buckeyes’ 29-22 come-from-behind victory in overtime over the Boilermakers, with backup quarterback Kenny Guiton leading a mad dash for a touchdown and tying two-point conversion with 3 seconds left in regulation, Meyer sent word that he had visited Miller in the hospital and that he was fine. Now, despite looking as if his season might be ended by a concussion or neck injury just 72 hours earlier, Miller will practice with the team on Tuesday. “He’s doing way better than what he did on Saturday,” said one of Miller’s friends, safety Christian Bryant. “He’s moving around, talking to guys, laughing. He’s doing pretty good right now.” Meyer stopped short of saying he was surprised that Miller was OK. “He’s very strong. He takes care of himself,” Meyer said. “I don’t want to say (I am) amazed, but he’s a tough guy.” The sophomore quarterback had briefly gone to the sideline in two games earlier in the season due to minor injuries. Each time he quickly returned. Not this time. He appeared groggy and in intense pain as he was helped off the field, his legs wobbly. He was almost doubled over on the motorized cart on which he left the field to polite applause. His teammates were shaken. “Anytime you see your quarterback go down like that, it strikes a lot of different emotions,” offensive lineman Reid Fragel said. “It’s tough to see. You immediately ask, ‘Is he all right? Is he OK?’” Physicians ran Miller through a battery of tests at the hospital, while his father waited nearby.

Green l Orlando Sentinel l MCT photo Ohio State freshman quarterback Braxton Miller (5) drops back to pass against Florida in the Gator Bowl in Jacksonville, Florida, Monday, January 2, 2012. Florida defeated Ohio State, 24-17. ordinator Tom Herman also visited him while he was undergoing baseline tests. With no signs that he had suffered a concussion, or any other major injury, Miller was released around three hours after the game. On Monday at his weekly news conference, Meyer said the only lingering symptom was a sore neck. “He got, like, a whiplash,” Meyer said. “I had a long talk with him about it. He was just rattled. And once he settled down, he seemed to be fine. He made a comment to me he’s never really been hurt, not as far as a bruise or a contusion or a sprained ankle, nothing like that. It kind of rattled him a little bit, like it would rattle most athletes.” Meyer said Miller had been cleared by doctors to return to practice. Fragel said was asked if Miller seemed OK when he saw him a day after the game. “He’s just a little bit slower (because he’s tired), but he expects to be back in practice this week,” Fragel said. “We’re looking forward to getting him back out there and seeing him move around a little bit.” Because Miller takes a lot of open-field hits when he scrambles, Ohio State’s coaches have tried to get him to step out of bounds or slide to the ground rather than subject himself to a jarring tackle. So far, he has seldom avoided the contact. Herman was asked about the varying degrees of how college athletes handle being hurt. fever The race is on at mydailytribune.com mydailyregister.com mydailysentinel.com Show off your Auto Racing knowledge & Sprint to the Cup for great weekly prizes!
