Southern rated ‘effective’ by ODE
Staff Report

mdsnews@mydailysentinel.com

COLUMBUS — The Ohio Department of Education released
the preliminary state report cards
for the 650-plus Ohio School systems with Southern Local receiving an “Effective” rating. Southern hit 12 of 15 indicators at the
elementary level, and 9 of 11 at
Southern High School. As a district the Southern Local School
District was 21 of 26.
Southern Local Superintendent Tony Deem said, “We are

excited about hitting 21 of 26 indicators and being rated “Effective”. We just narrowly missed
a couple other indicators and
missed one because of a reporting error. Still, we are celebrating
this success of our students with
great enthusiasm. It’s a sign our
students are learning, our teachers are teaching well, and we as
an organization are doing the
right things. “
“Sure,” Deem added, “We
would like to be perfect. But putting things in perspective, we are
still a quality school system and

we were among the top schools
in our region. Comparatively
speaking we were ‘Excellent’ last
year—it’s the difference between
an A-plus and an A; And we will
take the A.”
“My expectations were higher,” noted Deem, “But we are
continuing a record of success.
This is a tremendous tribute to
our community, to our parents,
our students, and to our school
system.”
The superintendent noted that
Southern’s performance index
dropped slightly because of the

“Value Added Component”. He
explained, “We’ve maxed out
the Value Added piece mainly
because we have worked hard
for the past five years to achieve
student-growth across the testing spans. In many cases over
the past few years our teachers
achieved more than a year’s academic growth in our students
and now many students are
ahead of where they should be.
“In other words most of our
kids have caught up and are on
target. Ultimately, that is what
we want.”

Reflected Administrative Assistant, Scott Wolfe, “This means
the Value Added piece isn’t as
helpful as it once was. When we
were behind somewhat (having
students below proficient), the
growth component was a real
boost to the state score. When
our students grew, our scores
grew. The only way we can move
up now is to hit all of the indicators. And that’s our goal.”
Southern missed one indicator by less than five points, and

POMEROY — Downtown Pomeroy has taken
on the look of Christmas with lighted wreaths and
swags of greenery on the period lamp posts which
line village streets.
Decorated in holiday style are the display windows of merchants. Inside shelves are filled with
beautiful things for decorating and gift giving. Last
night the kickoff to the holiday shopping season
took place with the shop owners’ annual open house
observance.
Friday the Pomeroy Merchants Association began decorating for the season. Lending a hand were
six Rio Grande Meigs Branch students along with
a staff member. Dan Short, president of the Merchants Association, brought in the wreaths wrapped
with lights and the greenery ropes, and the volunteers began the process of giving Pomeroy the look
of Christmas.
However, trimming the light posts is only the beginning of giving the look of Christmas to the town.

POMEROY — The Meigs County Museum located on
Butternut Avenue in Pomeroy will host a signing of the
book ” The Silver Bridger Disaster of 1967” by the authors, Ruth Fout and Martha Fout, from 1 to 3 p.m. on
Saturday, Nov. 10.
Th books will be available for purchase there for $21.99
plus tax.
The book is a part of the Arcadia Publishing’s “Images
of America” series.k The loyal authors are Stephan G. Bullard, Bridget J. Gromek, Martha Fout and Ruth Fout and
the Point Pleasant River Museum. The book has more
than 200 vintage images and memories of days gone by.
The book includes several eye witness accounts and
many of the images included were provided from private
collections of local residents. A portion of profits from
the book sale will be donated to the Point Pleasant River
Museum.
The book tells the story of the building of the bridge,
the first eyebar suspension bridge in the United States,
considered an engineering marvel when constructed in
1927 and 1928. It spanned the Ohio River connecting
Point Pleasant, W.Va. with Kanauga and Gallipolis, and
for 40 years provided dependable service for travelers in
the region.
It was on Dec. 15, 1967 that the bridge came to a dramatic and disastrous end during the height of rush hour.
The cause of the collapse was linked to the bridge’s innovative design and undetected corrosion stress cracks
which caused an eyebar on the Ohio side to fracture and
because of the linking of the eyebars, when one broke
it caused the catastrophic collapse of the entire bridge.
Forty-six lives were lost in the disaster.
The book includes eye witness accounts and features
many pictures of the tragedy. shows pictures of the tragedy. While it will be available for sale at Saturday’s book
signing at the Meigs Museum, it is also available at area
bookstores and online at www.arcadiapublishing.com.

Former carrier charged in newspaper theft case
Amber Gillenwater

mdtnews@mydailytribune.com

GALLIPOLIS — Officials with
Heartland Publications’ three Ohio
Valley newspapers are working with
law enforcement to press charges
against a Gallipolis Ferry man arrested by the Gallipolis Police Department this weekend for the theft
of hundreds of newspapers from
news racks located throughout the
area.
Paul L. Donohew, 45, Gallipolis
Ferry, W.Va., who was formerly a
newspaper carrier employed as an
independent contractor through
the company, is being charged
with theft and the possession of
slugs, both misdemeanor charges.
Donohew is scheduled to appear in
the Gallipolis Municipal Court on

Tuesday afternoon for an arraignment.
According to Sammy Lopez, publisher of the Gallipolis Daily Tribune, Point Pleasant Register and
The Daily Sentinel in Pomeroy,
felony charges will likely be forthcoming as the company works with
the police department to assess its
losses.
“It is obviously frustrating to
have this happen in terms of the financial loss to our company, but by
taking our papers from the racks,
it also deprives readers of important local news, as well the chance
to use our Sunday coupons,” said
Lopez. “We are working with local
law enforcement to determine the
appropriate charges, and we will
seek the maximum penalty allowed
by law.”

Allegedly, the suspect had been
stealing Sunday newspapers from
vending racks from various locations throughout the City of Gallipolis, as well as the Saturday editions of the Point Pleasant Register
in the Point Pleasant area every
weekend for a period of approximately six weeks.
The Gallipolis Police Department had recently received information about the individual alleged
to have been stealing the papers
each week and, during the early
morning hours this past Sunday,
made an arrest.
According to the police report,
at approximately 1:30 a.m. on November 4, an officer patrolling the
northern end of Gallipolis, observed a Dodge Caravan pulling out

Over 600 newspapers were recovered by the Gallipolis Police Department during the early morning hours of Nov. 4 after a West
Virginia man was caught stealing copies of the Sunday TimesSentinel from news racks in the City of Gallipolis. Heartland
Publications’ employees were later contacted by law enforcement and collected the papers, pictured here, valued at $860.

Politics brought
out the worst in her
Dear Dr. Brothers: I’m single
and in my late 20s. I’ve always
liked politics, so I decided to
volunteer in an important local
race this year. As soon as I did,
I ran into trouble. I didn’t know
this about myself, but I really
hated calling people, going door
to door and manning the booth
downtown. Everyone sort of
turned on me because they all
pitched in and I was agonizing
about every little thing. I knew
I was not a “people person,” but
now I feel like there’s something
Dr. Joyce Brothers
wrong with me. — W.M.
Dear W.M.: This political camSyndicated
paign was a real learning experiColumnist
ence for you. You may have set
out to educate the voters, but
you learned a lot more about yourself. That’s not a bad
thing; it’s just unfortunate that your effort didn’t pay off in
terms of a satisfying volunteer effort socially, regardless
of whether you were able to help your candidate win. If
you ever decide to help with something like that again,
make it clear up front that you’d rather help behind the
scenes — producing literature, stuffing envelopes, going
for coffee, working on databases — whatever those tasks
are that do not make you cringe. There will be plenty of
gratitude instead of grimaces if you follow through and do
the work. Volunteers are always in short supply.
There is nothing wrong with you if your personality and
instincts lead you away from interaction with the public.
This would be a good time to decide, though, if you’d like
that to change. Are you self-conscious, unsure of yourself,
or do you find it difficult to relate to people? You can work
on these issues a little bit at a time, perhaps with some
counseling or just by joining some small groups of people
away from the stress of a campaign, for a book discussion
group, a political policy task force or anything else that
doesn’t allow you to fade into the woodwork.
***
Dear Dr. Brothers: This isn’t really a big problem, but
I don’t want to hurt my husband’s feelings, so I need your
advice. He gave me a day at an expensive spa as a present
for my 40th birthday. I’ve never been to a spa, and the
idea of people hovering over me and invading my space
and doing things that I won’t have any interest in keeping up just isn’t my style. How do I turn down this very
thoughtful and generous gift without making my husband
feel bad? — P.C.
Dear P.C.: The first thing you might want to do is
reconsider — seriously. That would be the easiest way
to handle your problem, with no chance of hurting your
husband’s feelings. You could just grit your teeth and do
it, and maybe you’d even come up with some beauty routines or improvements that might make you feel good.
Have you considered the fact that your husband may have
picked this kind of gift precisely because it isn’t “you”?
I’m not saying he thinks you need a makeover, but I imagine that a day of pampering would put a smile on both
your faces once it was over.
If that is out of the question, at least consider having the spa break down the package and maybe go for a
pedicure once and a facial another time. This would be
in keeping with the spirit of the gift, and would be less
likely to cause you to freak out. Most important, it would
show your husband that you value the gift and are using
it — even if it’s in a slightly different way. To turn it down
completely probably would risk hurting his feelings, unless you asked him to paint your fingernails for you and
use the rest of the money for a couples night at a country
inn. Use your imagination, and make sure the end result is
one that will make your husband feel better, not worse. It
might even become a yearly tradition, heading off future
birthday dramas.

Ohio owners sue state
over new exotic animal law
COLUMBUS (AP) —
Four owners of exotic animals in Ohio are suing the
state’s agriculture department and its director over
a new law regulating dangerous wildlife, contending
the restrictions threaten
their property rights and
freedom of speech.
The lawsuit was filed
Friday in Columbus federal
court. It comes as the owners face a Monday deadline
to register their creatures
with the state.
The owners claim the
law forces them to join
private associations and
possibly give up their animals without compensation. They also contend it
unlawfully requires them
to perform surgical procedures on the animals.
Under the law, owners
must microchip their animals before they register
them, so the creatures can
be identified if they get lost
or escape.
The state had received
80 registrations as of Friday. Officials planned to
update the number on

Monday afternoon.
If owners don’t register
by Monday, they could
face a first-degree misdemeanor charge for a first
offense, and a fifth-degree
felony for any subsequent
offenses.
A spokeswoman for the
agriculture department declined to comment on the
lawsuit Monday.
“We’re committed to protecting the public and transitioning away from casual
ownership of dangerous,
wild animals by enforcing
these new standards on
enclosures and care,” said
agriculture spokeswoman
Erica Pitchford Hawkins.
Ohio’s restrictions on
exotic animals had been
among the nation’s weakest.
State lawmakers worked
with a renewed sense of
urgency to strengthen
the law after owner Terry
Thompson last fall released
50 creatures from an eastern Ohio farm in Zanesville before he committed
suicide.

Boy, 2, dies after fall, dog attack at Pa. zoo Southern
From Page 1

PITTSBURGH (AP) — A mother’s attempt to give her 2-year-old
son a better view of wild African
dogs turned into a fatal tragedy after
the boy fell into the exhibit and was
attacked by a pack of the animals as
relatives and bystanders looked on.
The mother had picked the child
up and put him on top of a railing
at the edge of a viewing deck at the
Pittsburgh Zoo late Sunday morning,
Lt. Kevin Kraus of the Pittsburgh police said.
“Almost immediately after that
he lost his balance, fell down off the
railing into the pit, and he was immediately attacked by 11 dogs,” Kraus
said. “It was very horrific.”
It’s not yet clear whether the boy
died from the fall or the attack, said
Barbara Baker, president of the Pittsburgh Zoo &amp; PPG Aquarium. Zoo officials at first estimated the boy fell
14 feet, but police said it was 11. It’s
not clear which is correct.
The Allegheny County medical examiner planned an autopsy Monday,
and the boy’s name was not expected
to be released until that was complete.
Authorities said that zoo staff and
then police responded “within minutes,” but visitors described that
time as being filled with screams for
help. Zookeepers called off some of
the dogs, and seven of them immedi-

ately went to a back building. Three
more eventually were drawn away
from the child, but the last dog was
aggressive and police had to shoot
the animal.
Steve Feldman, a spokesman for
the Association of Zoos and Aquariums, said no one he’s spoken to can
recall any deaths of children at an accredited zoo over the last 40 years or
more. Feldman said the Pittsburgh
Zoo successfully completed its 5-year
review in September, which means
it meets or exceeds all safety standards.
Authorities didn’t release the name
of the woman, but say she is 34 years
old and lives in Pleasant Hills, just
outside Pittsburgh. The boy’s father
arrived on the scene soon after the
accident, police said.
The zoo was immediately closed,
and it was not clear when it will reopen, authorities said.
The so-called painted dogs are
about as big as medium-sized domestic dogs, and 37 to 80 pounds, according to the zoo. They have large,
rounded ears and dark brown circles
around their eyes and are considered
endangered.
The attack happened in a 1.5 acre
exhibit called the Painted Dog Bush
Camp that’s part of a larger open area
where elephants, lions and other animals can be seen. Visitors walk onto

a deck that is glassed on the sides,
but open in front where the roughly
four-foot railing is located.
In May, some of the dogs crawled
under a fence and escaped into a part
of the exhibit that’s usually closed.
The zoo was on lockdown for about
an hour as a precaution.
Past fatal attacks at have prompted
zoos around the nation to review
safety features of their exhibits. In
2007 a tiger jumped over a wall at
the San Francisco zoo, killing one
visitor and wounding two others.
Authorities first said the wall was 18
feet high, but a review found it was
just 12 feet.
In September a man jumped off an
elevated viewing train at the Bronx
Zoo in New York and was severely
mauled by tigers.
Kraus said there was nothing to
prevent visitors to the painted dog
exhibit from jumping into the exhibit
area.
Police and the Allegheny County
medical examiner’s office are investigating, and they haven’t yet interviewed the mother and father, who
are receiving grief counseling.
Baker said the zoo, which has never had a visitor death, will also investigate. She said no decision has been
made yet on the future of the exhibit.

Ohio teen’s sentencing delayed in Craigslist plot
AKRON (AP) — With a possible deal for leniency in the
works, sentencing was delayed
Monday for an Ohio teenager
convicted in a deadly plot to lure
men desperate for work with
phony Craigslist job offers.
Judge Lynne Callahan said
sentencing for 17-year-old Brogan Rafferty would be held Friday but she did not explain the
reason for the change. The announcement during a brief court
session came after a 90-minute
delay as prosecutors and defense
attorneys met privately in the
judge’s chambers.
All parties in the case are under a gag order.
Rafferty’s mother, Yvette Rafferty, said the delay was “probably” related to a possible deal for
leniency in return for her son’s
testimony against the alleged
triggerman, Richard Beasley,
53. She declined to comment
further, citing the gag order.
Her son was convicted last
week of killing three men and
trying to kill a fourth, who

was shot but survived.
Rafferty, dressed in a red and
white striped jail outfit, kept his
lips pursed and looked straight
ahead during the court session
as his family and relatives of the
victims watched. His hands and
ankles were cuffed.
He could face up to life in prison without chance of parole but
his cooperation against Beasley
could give him a chance for freedom at some point — a sentence
of perhaps 20 or 30 years.
The jury rejected the defense
claim that Rafferty feared for his
life if he didn’t cooperate with
Beasley.
Beasley, described as the
teen’s spiritual mentor, has
pleaded not guilty and faces a
Jan. 7 trial.
Prosecutors say the victims,
all down in their luck and with
few family ties that might highlight their disappearance, were
lured with phony offers of farmhand jobs on Craigslist last year.
One man was killed near Akron and the others were shot at

a southeast Ohio farm during
bogus job interviews.
Prosecutors say robbery was
the motive.
Rafferty, a high school student
from Stow near Akron, was tried
as an adult but didn’t face a possible death penalty because he is
a juvenile.
Beasley, an ex-convict and
self-styled street minister from
Akron, could face the death penalty if convicted.
The surviving victim, 49-yearold Scott Davis of South Carolina, testified as the prosecution’s star witness. He identified
Rafferty as Beasley’s accomplice
and told the jury a harrowing
story.
Davis said he was walking
across what turned out to be a
bogus job site when he heard a
gun cock and turned and found
himself face to face with a handgun. He said he pushed the
weapon aside, was shot in the
arm and fled through the woods.

Christmas

As in the past it is expected that
the stage area and the two gazebos
on the parking lot will be decorated
by community churches.

Holding to tradition the “Christmas by the River” themed parade
and holiday open houses by the business community will be held on the
Sunday afternoon after Thanksgiv-

two others by less than
eight points at the elementary level. Kent Wolfe is
the Elementary Principal
and Daniel Otto the high
school principal. Both
goal-oriented administrators were pleased with the
results, but expressed the
desire to be 26-26 for the
spring 2013 testing.
The
administration
wishes to express their appreciation for the great job
the staff continues to do.
Likewise, students ‘making the grade’ or showing
significant improvement
over last year’s scores were
rewarded with various
incentive trips to Kings
Island, Party in the Park,
Camden Park, Columbus
Zoo and Zoombezi Bay,
and a trip to a Cincinnati
Reds game. Class trips
were dependent on grade
level. All students proficient or above earned a
Meigs County Fair Pass.
Tested grades are grades
3 through 12. The funding
for these trips came graciously from the Southern
PTO organization.
The new version of the
state report card was to
roll out this fall, but was
delayed until next school
year. The standards for
which schools are evaluated will be tougher, and as
a report issued last spring
indicated, most schools
will drop in ranking according to the more stringent guidelines.
Deem noted that Southern is working toward
maintaining an effective
rating, noting that the
school principals and curriculum director Tricia McNickle have been working
hard to implement the new
state standards.
“We are well ahead of
the game at the implementation stage compared to
some schools that are just
now starting to roll out
the new curriculum. We
are also ahead of the game
in achieving our goals in
“Race to the Top”,” said
Deem.
In addition to the many
other positive things going on at Southern, the
district utilizes a Math
Coach (McNickle), Literacy Coach (Meg Guinther),
and maintains a full-time
parent-resource center operated by Title Secretary
and
Parent-Coordinator
Vicki Northup.
Next year Southern is
slated to move into its
new High School addition,
another exciting development in the community.
The state-of-the art building will house grades 9-12
and become part of a more

centralized Southern Local
Campus all under one roof.
Construction work is “on
target” according to Deem,
who indicates that the
school is slated to be open
for the 2013-2014 school
year.
“We have a lot of exciting things going on here
at Southern. Our board
has been supportive of our
efforts—it’s truly been a
team effort from one end of
the spectrum to the other.”
The Southern Board
has purchased Electronic
Apple iPads with Educational Apps in lieu of buying workbooks grades K-2.
Teachers have been training to best utilize these
tools in the classroom.
“The kids love them!”
noted Kent Wolfe. “This
is going to be a great motivational tool and learning
experience.”
Otto noted, “We already
have two I-pad labs at the
high school. They get a lot
of use and are a valuable
teaching tool.”
Plans are in place to have
iPads in all classes over the
next five years. The board
is also continuing the
after-school program and
in-school intervention program that helped get Southern to “Excellent” status
the past couple years. That
comes on the heels of disappearing ARRA Money,
ED Gov. monies, and no
more 21st Century Grant
money at the elementary.
“Two pots of money are
no longer available and part
of the 21st Century grant
rubric is based on how well
your school performed. It
appears perhaps we did
too well in this case,” concluded Wolfe. “Fortunately,
our board has seen that our
afterschool program is a
necessary program, and I
praise them for the support
they have provided our students.”
“Also, we are still looking for sponsors to get the
program operating at the
level it once was. We would
like to reach a few more
kids if we can.”
Brenna Call was recently
hired to run the afterschool
program, and already has
completed the year-end
data for last year’s grants.
Deem concluded, “We
have had tough times
in the past and worked
through them; and we
will have some more road
bumps along the way, I’m
sure. But right now we
have some very positive
things to celebrate. We as a
district want to recognize
everyone for the positive
things they do every day
and build upon our success.”

remains under investigation by
Lt. S. Greene and Cpl. F. Terry
of the sheriff’s department.
There have been no charges filed
against Richardson.
McCarty was a fifth grader at
Ashton Elementary School, a
school of around 400 students
in a community where everyone knows their neighbor. Alesia Green, principal of Ashton
Elementary, said on Monday
morning, school staff came to-

gether for a meeting before students arrived to determine how
to help their kids deal with the
death of a peer. Green said in addition to the school’s counselor,
additional, county counselors
were brought to campus. Staff
were told if they felt any student
needed to see a counselor, “by all
means” they were to have accessibility to one.
Also on Monday morning,
Green and her staff met with all
the fifth grade students to ex-

plain what happened, there were
some students who hadn’t heard.
Green said the meeting gave McCarty’s peers a forum to talk and
ask questions.
Green said some students
were creating memorial pages
to go in a book and students
participated in a balloon launch
where they wrote messages to
McCarty attached to the balloon. She said McCarty’s birthday is Nov. 14 and one student
commented they were sending

him a balloon for his birthday.
Green said as for what happens
next at the school, they are playing it by ear to determine how to
meet the needs of the students as
they come to an understanding
of what happened.
As for McCarty, Green described him as a “wonderful
child” who also has two brothers
who attend Ashton Elementary
and a family who is very involved
at the school. She said staff will
be working with students on

Theft
From Page 1
of a parking spot beside a
newspaper vending rack
at Speed Queen at 1313
Eastern Avenue.
After following the
vehicle north to Silver
Bridge Plaza, the officer
observed the vehicle pull
up beside a newspaper
vending machine at the
Big Lots store.
The officer observed
a male exit the vehicle,
open the vending machine, collect all of the
papers and place them in
the passenger seat of the
van.
After approaching the
male, later identified as
Donohew, and advising
him of his constitutional
rights, the officer began
questioning the suspect.
Reportedly, at first, the
suspect denied all allegations, but, later, he told
the officer that he had
been stealing newspapers

to collect coupons so it
would be easier to purchase food for his family.
Donohew was later
transported to the Gallipolis Police Department
where an interview was
conducted. He was later
released, and a summons
was issued for his appearance in municipal court.
Reportedly, at the time
of his arrest, Dononhew
was in possession of 364
copies of the Sunday
Times-Sentinel and 264
copies of the Point Pleasant Register.
According to the report, Donohew was also
in the possession of two
metal “slugs” or small
metal disks used to illegally open vending-type
machines.
According to Heartland
Publications Circulation
Manager David Killgallon, while the thefts did
not impact the residential
delivery of newspapers

this weekend, it did leave
many individuals who
purchase their papers
from the many coin-operated vending machines in
the area searching for the
weekend editions of their
local papers.
“It’s a challenge, but we

are very happy local law
enforcement has apprehended this person,” Killgallon commented. “A lot
of people are upset about
losing their coupons. We
are glad to be able to restore that service to the
community.”

what to say to McCarty’s brothers when they return and how to
be supportive.
On a more personal note,
Green said McCarty had an “infectious smile and laugh.” This
past weekend was Heritage Day
at Ashton Elementary and Green
said the last sight she saw as she
was leaving that day was McCarty playing football with friends
outside the school, smiling.
McCarty’s funeral arrangements appear inside this edition.

Post-storm construction Ad blitz: Big money,
hiring may aid US economy smaller audience
Alex Veiga
Matthew Perrone
AP Business Writers

Hiring in the long-depressed U.S. construction
industry will get a boost
from the rebuilding that
will follow Superstorm
Sandy. Those jobs, in
turn, could raise economic growth, analysts say.
The modest lift to the
economy is expected to
come in the first months
of 2013. Construction
firms, contractors and local governments will hire
to rebuild or renovate
homes, buildings, roads
and bridges that were
damaged or destroyed.
“This is going to be a
net positive, particularly
in the mid-Atlantic,” said
Sophia Koropeckyj, managing director Moody’s
Economy.com.
Sandy inflicted up to
$50 billion in estimated
losses from property damage, lost business and additional living costs. The
damage was concentrated
near the coastlines of
New Jersey and New York
City.
Construction jobs are
especially vital to the
economy. Pay is higher
than average: At $25.86,
average hourly pay tops
the average of $23.58 for
all U.S. private-sector
jobs — and is far above
the averages for areas like
retail ($16.43) and leisure
and hospitality, which includes restaurants and
hotel jobs ($13.35).
In addition, job growth
in construction typically
spurs hiring for other
jobs, like architects, real
estate agents and sellers of appliances, building materials and office
equipment. The stocks
of home-improvement retailers like Home Depot
(up more than 3 percent)
and Lowe’s (up nearly 6
percent) surged last week
even as overall stock prices were flat.
Boats and cars destroyed by Sandy will
have to be replaced, too,
likely leading to some increased manufacturing.
Economists
caution

that the construction hiring may be only modest
and will likely boost the
economy only slightly.
And the storm damage
could slow growth a bit
in the current OctoberDecember quarter. Factories, oil refineries, restaurants and stores that were
closed or disrupted will
cut hours or jobs. Some
consumers will earn and
spend less as a result.
And some construction
projects that had been set
to start will have to be
canceled or put off.
In the current quarter, the storm will slow
the economy’s annual
growth rate by a slight
two-tenths of 1 percentage point, predicts Mark
Vitner, senior economist
at Wells Fargo. But Vitner
thinks reconstruction will
speed the economy by the
same amount in both the
first and second quarters
of 2013. Last quarter, the
economy grew at an estimated 2 percent annual
rate.
Any help for construction could help invigorate
the economy. Since the
Great Recession ended
nearly 3½ years ago, economic growth has been
slowed by lost construction jobs and diminished
residential and commercial building.
Most of the rebuilding
won’t start right away,
analysts noted. Insurance
claims must first be settled. Government money
will need to be allocated
in some areas. And if the
Northeast winter is severe, much work will have
to be put off until spring.
Once
construction
firms step up hiring in the
first few months of next
year, Koropeckyj foresees
a beneficial ripple effect.
“Not only will it help
construction directly, but
also the building supply
stores, wholesale trade,”
she said. “It’s going to
be helping the automotive industry by boosting
demand for utility trucks
and pickup trucks.”
The need for rebuilding
is widespread in the areas
hit by the storm. Along

New Jersey’s 127-mile
coastline, for example,
Sandy wrecked thousands
of homes, from multimillion-dollar houses to modest bungalows, along with
boardwalks, roads and
bridges.
“I have construction
companies calling me —
companies from North
Carolina that have moved
up here and want to partner up with us,” said
James Jefferson, co-owner of Property Services
Integrated, a contractor
in Jersey City. “We’ll hire
another manager, if not
two managers, and another person in the office.
We’ll probably pick up a
handful or six new carpenters.”
Some contractors and
construction firms could
face a shortage of the
skilled workers they need
for rebuilding. Many
lost jobs and left the industry after the housing
meltdown all but froze
demand for construction.
Nearly 30 percent of the
industry’s jobs vanished.
Their loss has been
a chronic drag on the
economy. Typically, once
recessions end, construction booms and fuels a
new economic expansion. That didn’t happen
after the recession officially ended in June 2009,
which helps explain why
growth and hiring have
remained subpar since.
Construction has begun
to recover. Last month,
U.S. home construction
reached its fastest rate in
more than four years — a
seasonally adjusted annual rate of 872,000. That’s
more than 82 percent
above the recession low.
Yet it’s still well short
of the 1.5 million annual
rate considered healthy
and the 2 million-plus
homes that were begun
at the peak of the housing boom in 2007. Just
in New Jersey, construction employment since
the boom has shrunk by a
third, or 60,000 — 12,000
of them this year.

The Associated Press

WASHINGTON — One million ads.
More than $1 billion. Ten battleground
states.
Those eye-popping figures tell the story
of the 2012 presidential campaign TV ad
blitz — never before has so much money
been spent on so many commercials aimed
at so few voters.
Television ads were the primary communications tool for the campaigns of
President Barack Obama and his Republican challenger Mitt Romney, despite
the gradual but persistent shift of viewers
from television to the Internet.
While both teams maintained a robust
social media presence and used online ads
for micro-targeting voters based on their
reading and shopping habits, nothing
came close to the campaigns’ investment
in the kind of 30- and 60-second TV spots
that have defined presidential campaigns
for nearly half a century.
“The decline of television advertising hasn’t happened, and it’s not going
away anytime soon,” said Erika Franklin
Fowler, director of the Wesleyan University Media Project which tracks campaign
advertising. “TV is where you look for
the persuadable voter, and the Internet is
what you use to mobilize your base.”
The two presidential campaigns, the political parties and their allied independent
groups aired 1,015,615 ads between June
1 and Oct. 29, the Wesleyan project found
— almost 40 percent more than the number of ads that ran in the same period in
2008, when Obama defeated Republican
John McCain for the presidency.
The proliferation of campaign commercials was fueled by an unprecedented level
of spending. The candidates, parties and
groups spent more than $1.08 billion total
on commercials since April according to
data compiled by media trackers and provided to The Associated Press.
But the ads were directed at an evershrinking universe of voters.
Nine states — Colorado, Florida, Iowa,
Nevada, New Hampshire, North Carolina,
Ohio, Virginia and Wisconsin — saw the
vast majority of the campaign spots, with
a 10th state, Pennsylvania, emerging late
in the campaign as an advertising battleground as well.
Both sides also made smaller buys in
Democratic-leaning Michigan and Minnesota, but did little else to suggest either
state was seriously in play.
It’s a sharp drop from 2008, when those
states along with New Mexico, Missouri,
Indiana, Montana, Georgia and North Dakota were considered battlegrounds and
saw a heavy round of campaign commercials from the candidates and independent
groups alike. This year, almost no one

outside of the 10 major swing states has
seen a presidential campaign ad except for
a few national cable and broadcast buys.
“Fewer people are witnessing the onslaught than ever before. The ones that
are are getting carpet bombed,” Fowler
said.
A newly empowered spate of independent groups helped contribute to the glut,
investing millions in their own TV advertising to influence the 2012 contest.
A series of federal court rulings, including the landmark Citizens United Supreme
Court decision in 2010, significantly
eased campaign finance regulations, freeing corporations and wealthy individuals
to spend money to influence politics.
Pro-Romney groups American Crossroads and Americans for Prosperity and
pro-Obama groups led by Priorities USA
Action eagerly took advantage of the new
rules. Collectively, Republican outside
groups vastly outnumbered — and outspent — their Democratic counterparts.
But it’s not at all clear whether TV ad
spending by super PACs and other outside
groups was a smart use of their cash.
Television stations, by law, must grant
presidential candidates lower ad rates
than regular commercial advertisers receive. That discount is not available to the
political parties nor the outside groups,
forcing them to pay much higher rates in
battleground states where ad space is at a
premium.
That’s in part why Obama aired more
spots than did Romney and his super PAC
allies. Obama and Democratic-leaning
groups spent approximately $460 million
on the airwaves, the vast majority coming
from the president’s campaign. Romney
and the Republican groups spent $624
million, more than half of which came
from outside groups.
The president’s campaign aired about
503,000 ads since June 1, the Wesleyan
study found, compared to about 191,000
for Romney. The Republican hopeful was
aided by some 270,000 ads from outside
groups supporting his candidacy. While
there is no question the outside groups
helped bring Romney to parity with
Obama on the airwaves, the president’s
campaign, by taking advantage of the lower ad rate, spent less money to air more
ads.
The Obama campaign also gambled
that it was better to buy ads early in the
contest rather than wait until after the
conventions — the more traditional route
which Romney followed. The president’s
campaign dominated the airwaves from
April through mid-July, when Romney and
Republican groups matched and started to
exceed the Democratic side.

Rio Grande Faculty Art Exhibit set to open
RIO GRANDE — The University of Rio Grande/Rio Grande
Community College’s Greer Museum will host a reception for its
newest art exhibit on Wednesday, Nov. 7.
The art exhibit features the
work of Rio Grande faculty members Jim Allen, Kevin Lyles and
Benjy Davies. The three fine
arts faculty members will all be
at the opening reception to talk
with area residents about their
artworks and answer questions.
The reception will be held
from 5-7 p.m. in the Greer Museum, and all area residents are
invited to attend.
The new exhibit, which will be
open through Dec. 4, features a
wide range of artistic styles and
themes.
Allen’s pieces in the show include mixed media paintings,
pastel drawings and digital photography. The pastel drawings
in the show include a sequence
of four drawings that Allen has
titled, “Hubris of Nebuchadnezzar.” The drawings depict the
king’s transformation as it is told
in the Bible’s Book of Daniel.
Allen is also showing several
mixed media paintings of different subjects, as well several digital photography pieces that deal
with grandchildren.
Davies is going to exhibit
a large number of his newest
prints and drawings in the show.
Around 100 of the drawings

will be from Davies’ “Daily Drawing,” project, which involves
drawings that he completes every day. He has been working on
“Daily Drawings,” for more than
four years now and has completed approximately 1,700 artworks
as part of the project.
“I am also going to show a
number of new prints,” Davies
said.
One print is a collaborative
project that he completed with
artist Katherine Cox, who serves
as the director of art education at
the Huntington Museum of Art.
A few of his other prints are
pieces that Davies created while
taking part in a workshop taught
by master artist Enrique Chagoya.
Davies also collaborated with
Lyles, who is a sculptor, on two
pieces that will be shown in the
exhibit.
Lyles enjoyed working on
the pieces with Davies, and explained that that he and Davies
also recently showed some of
their collaborative artworks in
an exhibit at Ohio UniversityChillicothe.
The pieces that Lyles is showing in this exhibit are all narrative works that tell a story and
sometimes involve humor.
One of the pieces in particular may resonate with area residents, as it was inspired by the
severe storms that hit the region
last summer. After the storms,

Lyles had a large number of trees
down on his property and he
spent a lot of time dragging the
timber and cutting the wood.
“I thought it would be neat to
build a sculpture out of this,” he
said. So Lyles took a walnut tree
limb that was 15 feet long and
cut it into different segments. He
then reconstructed the segments
with aluminum fittings to create his new artwork, “After the
Storm.”
Lyles is proud that the three
faculty members are able to
show their work in the exhibit,
and he is hoping a large number
of area residents will be able to
see the artworks. The exhibit can
also serve as a great learning experience for the art students on
campus.
“We ask our students to exhibit their work and we ask them
to work continuously. I think it’s
important for us to practice what
we preach and to model what we
want our students to do,” Lyles
said. “It’s important for them to
know that not only are we asking
them to do all of this, but that we
are doing the same thing.”
Davies added that the faculty
members hold an exhibit like
this one every three years so that
each class of students will be able
to see at least one of the shows.
“It helps the students gain a
greater understanding of the
work that we do as artists,” Davies said. “I think it’s really im-

Davies

portant for the students to see
where we are coming from with
our own work.”
Rio Grande students and area
residents of all ages will enjoy
looking over the exhibit either
at the opening reception or while
the pieces are on display through
Dec. 4. Beginning on Nov. 7, the
exhibit will be open from 1-5
p.m., Tuesdays through Fridays.

For more information on the
exhibit, as well as information on
upcoming exhibits in the Greer
Museum, call Allen at 1-800-2827201. For additional information on upcoming events at Rio
Grande, as well as information

Special to OVP

Southern senior Kody Wolfe sprints toward the finish line Saturday morning at the Division III OHSAA Cross Country Championships held at National Trail Raceway in Hebron, Ohio.

Wolfe places 9th at
OHSAA state meet
HEBRON — All good
things must come to an
end.
It wasn’t a personal best,
but Southern senior Kody
Wolfe arguably secured his
place as the best distance
runner to ever come from
Meigs County after placing ninth in the Division
III boys championship race
Saturday morning during
the 2012 Ohio High School
Athletic Association cross
country meet held at National Trail Raceway in
Licking County.
Wolfe — a three-time
Tri-Valley Conference and
four-time southeast district
champion — wrapped up
his third straight OHSAA
appearance by earning his
best finish at the state level
with a time of 15:58.98.
Wolfe’s effort earned him
a second-straight All-Ohio
honor, and his ninth-place
time was just the second
time he had posted a sub16 mark.
Wolfe was 10th a year
ago (16:05.35) in the D-3
state meet and also placed
42nd in 2010 with a mark
of 16:44.9.
Following the race,
Wolfe needed nearly 15
minutes to recover before
leaving the finish line area.
It wasn’t that the senior
was taking it all in one final
time, but rather that he had
just ran as hard a race as he
ever had.

That was one of the major goals for Wolfe headed
into his cross country finale Saturday … leave it all
on the course.
“I wanted to do better
than last year, and one of
my biggest goals today was
to run as hard as I could,”
Wolfe said. “When the race
was over, it sure did feel
like I ran as hard a race as I
could. I accomplished a lot
of my personal goals today,
so I’m pretty happy with
that right now. I wanted to
go out strong in my Southern finale.”
It was an extra-special
weekend for Wolfe, who
was named as one of the
20 finalists in Ohio for the
Wendy’s Heisman Award.
This prestigious award
goes to one male and one
female in every state, and
the finalists are chosen
from all sports on the basis
of embodying the spirit of
hard work and dedication
through their outstanding
achievements in athletics,
academics and community/
school leadership.
The pool of applicants in
Ohio started at 2,040, so
being one of the 20 choices
was humbling for the Tornado senior.
“For all the athletes in
this state, being picked
as one of the final 20 was
definitely a thrill in itself,”
Wolfe said. “We’ll find out

ing quarterfinal contests.
Rio Grande scored what
proved to be the only goal it
would need when Filho, a freshman forward from Sao Paulo,
Brazil, headed a corner kick by
Tonegawa past Shawnee State
goal keeper Thomas Carbonari
at 14:46.
That’s how things stayed until
another corner kick by Tonegawa, a freshman from Kawaguchi,
Saitawa, Japan, resulted in Isberner’s first goal of the night.
Isberner’s shot appeared to

glance off the leg of Shawnee’s
Nick Dowdell before sneaking
past Carbonari with 40 minutes
left in the match.
Isberner scored again from the
upper right-hand corner of the
18-yard box at 65:09 to make it
3-0. The senior forward took a
pass from junior midfielder Maxi
Viera and blisted a shot past the
Bears’ reserve net-minder Jordan
Cross, who played the final 28:03
in goal after Carbonari left with a
shoulder injury.
Filho scored again off of a feed

from Isberner at 68:37 and senior
midfielder Oliver Hewitt-Fisher
set the final score with an unassisted mark in the 87th minute.
Rio Grande enjoyed a 27-7
edge in shots, including a 17-1
advantage in shots on goal.
Senior keeper Jack Marchant recorded the one save and
notched his fourth individual
shutout of the season.
Carbonari stopped seven shots
and Cross had five saves in a losing cause for Shawnee, which
finished its season at 4-14.

GALLIPOLIS — Round two.
The Gallia Academy football
team advanced to the second
round of the Division III region
12 playoffs after a 37-35 victory
over Archbishop McNicholas
Saturday night on a mud covered
Memorial Field.
The Blue Devils (9-2) defense
stepped up in key spots, including forcing a fumble in the redzone with under two minutes to
go in the game.
“This is phenomenal, I couldn’t
have wished for anything more,”
said Gallia Academy coach Mike
Eddy after Saturday’s game. “The
heart of these kids and the heart
of a champion shows up every
Friday and Saturday night. We
never quit, backs against the wall
these kids just keep swinging and
that’s what they’ve done all year.”
The Rockets (7-4) forced Gallia
Academy into a three and out on
the game’s opening drive and the
AMHS offense set up at it’s own
27 yard line. On the eighth play
of the drive McNicholas quarterback Austin Ernst found Jacob
Lind in the back of the endzone
from four yards out. Pat DiSalvio
capped off the 3:17 drive with the
extra point, giving the Rockets
the 7-0 with 6:47 remaining in
the fourth quarter.
The Blue Devils began driving
on their next possession and four
plays into the drive found themselves in a fourth and four from
the AMHS 17 yard line. Wade
Jarrell dropped back to pass and
found Reid Eastman at the one
yard line. Eastman made the
catch, broke a tackle and found
paydirt. Dylan Saunders tied the
game at seven apiece after the extra point, rounding out the 2:19
drive.
Ernst was back at it again, giv-

ing his team the lead at the 2:47
mark of the first on a 10 yard run.
DiSalvio again added the extra
point to cap off the four play, 65
yard scoring drive.
GAHS was forced to punt on
the following drive, but the punt
pinned the Rockets back at their
own five yard line. On the first
play of the second quarter the
snap was fumbled into the endzone and the Blue Devils were
able to get to Ernst for the safety.
The Blue Devils began the
ensuing drive on their own 46
yard line trailing by five. On the
fourth play of the drive Wade Jarrell gave Gallia Academy it’s first
lead with a four yard run. Saunders added the extra point to cap
off the 1:45 drive, which gave the
Blue Devils a 16-14 lead.
The Rockets were forced into a
three and out on their next drive
and the GAHS offense regained
control at it’s own 45 yard line.
On the first play of the drive
Wade Jarrell kept the ball on the
QB option and ran through the
AMHS defense for the touchdown. Saunders added the point
after, giving Gallia Academy the
23-14 lead with 8:06 remaining in
the half.
McNicholas was able to score
once more before the break, on a
15 yard pass from Ernst to Jacob
Lind. DiSalvio added the extra
point and the Rockets trailed 2321 at halftime.
AMHS received the ball after
halftime and it took less that two
minutes for the Rockets to regain
the lead. Lind caught his second
touchdown of the game, this time
it was a 31 yard reception from
Ernst. DiSalvio added the extra
point following the five play 51
yard drive.
Trailing 28-23 Gallia Academy
began to drive after recovering a
McNicholas fumble on the GAHS
29 yard line. On the seventh play

of the drive Ty Warnimont took
the hand off and ran 14 yards
through the Rocket defense for
six points. Saunders capped off
the 3:08 drive with the extra
point and Gallia Academy led 3028.
After Justin Bailey intercepted
Ernst’s pass with 45 seconds
remaining in the third quarter,
Wade Jarrell took the first play of
the drive 39 yards for the score.
Saunders added the extra point
and GAHS led 37-28 with one
quarter remaining.
McNicholas took possession of
the ball with 8:22 remaining in
the game and on the 11th play of
the drive Ernst found the paydirt.
DiSalivo added the point after
and brought the Rockets to within two points.
AMHS regained possession
with 3:15 remaining in the game
on its own 22 yard line. Four first
downs had the Rockets in the
redzone with just over a minute
remaining when the Blue Devil
defense stripped and recovered
the football.
Three plays to kill the clock
and the Gallia Academy took the
37-35 triumph on home field.
“This fan base was unbelievable tonight,” Eddy said. “They
were rocking all night long and
to be able to win in front of them
means every thing to me, this
coaching staff and these kids. We
wanted to bring playoff football
back to this city and to be able to
win in front of them is one of the
most special things we’ve done all
year long.”
Wade Jarrell led Gallia Academy’s offense with 293 yards
rushing on 23 carries to go along
with 82 yards on 7-of-14 passing.
Wade Jarrell ran for three touchdowns and threw for one while
throwing two interceptions.

CONCEPTIS SUDOKU
by Dave Green

HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Tuesday,
Nov. 6, 2012:
Do not expect to be secretive and
get away with it this year. In fact, since
all eyes frequently will be on you, it will
be close to impossible. You become
a leader, whether you’re at work, in
your immediate circle or elsewhere.
Use care with your finances, because
misunderstandings and problems could
stem from there. If you are single, try
to be out and about as much as possible, as you’ll have no problem meeting people. Take your time getting to
know someone. If you are attached,
the two of you benefit from sharing a
social commitment together. LEO often
admires you.
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 A friend whispers in your
ear; listen to what he or she has to
say. Others find you to be extraordinarily dynamic. Communication comes
to the forefront. You might need to get
moving with a key project. Be careful,
as you could get mixed messages.
Tonight: Have fun wherever you are.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20)
HHH Keep your home life a priority, and do not let others distract
you. Some of you will be involved in
real estate, whether it is sprucing up
your home or making an investment.
Rethink a decision involving a partner.
Tonight: Your instincts guide you with
a partner.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20)
HHHH Mercury, your sign’s ruling
planet, is about to do a backward jig.
As a result, you might sense a difference in your mood and others’ as well.
A friend continues to act in the most
unexpected manner. Be optimistic
about a situation that involves a partner, and put your best foot forward.
Tonight: Speak your mind.
CANCER (June 21-July 22)
HHHH Your more possessive side
emerges, despite everything that is
going on around you. A boss or someone you look up to could be quite reactive. Be careful with your word choice;
many people are oversensitive. You
might want to revisit a recent decision
involving your daily life. Tonight: Your
treat.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)
HHHH You are full of personality
and fun. Others do not know how to
take your words and actions. A misunderstanding could happen as a result
of their assumptions. Know what you
want. Rethink what is going on with a

situation that involves a romance and/or
a child. Tonight: Let the fun begin.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
HHH Know when to pull back and
simply listen. A partner’s unexpected
actions could be problematic. You
might feel cranky because of everything
you have to deal with. Opportunities
occur naturally for you, but you might
not be in the mood to jump on them.
Tonight: Get some extra R and R.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
HHHH Emphasize what is important, and follow through accordingly.
A meeting provides support as you
continue down your chosen path. You
might worry too much and wonder what
is going on. Also, information coming
in might not be accurate. Trust your
instincts. Tonight: Where friends are.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
HHH Take charge of a situation
— don’t act as if you have no choice.
You are heading in a new direction
despite the comfort of staying in what is
known. You might decide that you need
feedback from a very gracious partner.
Tonight: On top of your game.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
HHHH Listen and reach out to
someone at a distance who means a
lot to you. Do not stand on ceremony
if your calls aren’t returned. You are
entering a period when misunderstandings could happen with greater
frequency. Tonight: Detach and tap into
your imagination.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
HHHHH Relate on a one-on-one
level to someone. Listen to what you
are saying and also to what is being
shared. You could be overwhelmed by
everything that is happening around
you. Delegate responsibilities to a trusted associate or loved one. Tonight:
Make it romantic.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
HHHH Give up a need to have
power. If you just go along with a situation, you will be much happier. Listen
to your instincts regarding a personal
matter. Do not test others. Let them
run the show and express their true
colors. Tonight: Say “yes.”
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)
HHHHH You could be overwhelmed by everything that is happening in your immediate circle. Start
crossing things off your to-do list — it
will help eliminate this feeling of heaviness. You will feel better as a result.
You also will be able to extend yourself
more fully. Tonight: Put your feet up.

Rio Grande to post a 64-46 win
over the RedStorm, Saturday
afternoon, in the Giovanni’s
Tipoff Classic at the Newt Oliver Arena.

The RedStorm (1-1) shot just
29.1 percent from the field, hitting just 16 of their 55 shots.
Taylor, which improved to
2-0, also got 14 points from
Nate Kasper and 12 points
from Casey Coons in the winning effort. Coons also had a
team-high eight rebounds and
five assists.
The Trojans trailed 21-17 following a three-pointer by Rio
sophomore guard Tykeim Moss
with 4:26 left in the first half,

but closed the opening stanza
on a 9-2 run to take a 26-23 lead
at the intermission.
It was a lead they would never
relinquish.
A bucket by senior guard Kaleb Kimber to open the second
half got Rio to within 26-25
and the deficit was just four,
34-30, following a three-pointer by junior guard Jermaine
Warmack with 13:50 remaining, but the RedStorm failed to
score over the next 5:38 of the

contest and never recovered.
Three straight steals which
resulted in scores got the Storm
within seven with just under
eight minutes to play, but head
coach Ken French’s squad got no
closer the rest of the way.
Taylor enjoyed its largest lead
of the day — 22 points — twice
in the final 69 seconds.
The Trojans shot 48.8 percent
for the game, including a sizzling
60 percent (12-for-20), in the
second half.

Warmack led Rio Grande with
12 points — all in the second
half. He also had a team-best six
rebounds.
Freshman guard D.D. Joiner
added 11 points and shared team
honors with Warmack with three
steals.
Rio Grande returns to action
on Friday night, hosting Ohio
University-Chillicothe in the first
round of the Bevo Francis Invitational Tournament. Tipoff is set
for 8 p.m.

Buckeyes take a break before 2 biggest games

URG women’s
soccer ousted
from MSC tourney

COLUMBUS (AP) — Most will
rest. Some will try to heal. Others
will try to catch up on classwork or
a personal life.
A bye week is a time to take a
breath for the fifth-ranked Ohio State
Buckeyes.
There are also a few who will
pause, knowing there are only two
games left in their college careers.
“It just hit me in the locker room,”
senior defensive lineman John Simon
said Saturday after Ohio State rolled
Illinois 52-22. “It goes extremely fast.
The seniors, we’re making every moment count. We’re trying to make
this season a memorable one.”
It already has been. But it could be
even more memorable.
Despite a glittering start (10-0,
6-0 Big Ten) to their season, what
remains will determine whether Urban Meyer’s first Ohio State team is
an unqualified success or one that
wilted when it got close to its biggest
goals.
The most difficult games on the
schedule await.
After taking a couple of extra days
off this week (they’ll still have fulltilt practices on Tuesday, Wednesday
and Thursday), the Buckeyes begin
to prep for the showdown at Wisconsin on Nov. 17 and at home against
archrival Michigan a week later.
“I need the off week. I’m still battling injuries. Any extra time I can
use to rest,” cornerback Bradley
Roby said. “The bye week is going
to give us a little more time for our
academic situations and things like
that. It’s coming at a good time even
though it took a while to get here.”
Ohio State is 13-9 since 1971 in
games coming off a bye week. It has
won the last two (a 2010 win was
vacated as part of NCAA sanctions),
after losing three in a row 2003-5.
Meyer said the week will come
in handy because Ohio State just
moved from quarters to semesters,
which has changed the academic
calendar for the players. He said several players had told him the string
of 10 straight games and adapting
to semesters has been like “hitting a
wall.”
“We can unhit the wall for a week

COLUMBIA, Ky. — Top-seeded Lindsey
Wilson College got three goals from Mia
Persson and pulled away in the second half
to post a 5-0 win over the University of Rio
Grande, Saturday night, in the quarterfinal
round of the Mid-South Conference Women’s
Soccer Tournament at Walter Reuling Stadium.
Elizabet Madjarac added a goal and an assist for the Blue Raiders (14-3-1), who advance to the semifinal round of the tourney
next Wednesday as a result of the win.
Rio Grande, the tournament’s No. 8 seed,
finished its season at 6-11 with the loss.
Persson tallied the first portion of her hat
trick just 6:13 into the match, scoring on a
penalty kick to give Lindsey Wilson what
proved to be the only goal of the opening
half.
Persson scored on another penalty kick
just under seven minutes into the second
stanza and Madjarac scored an unassisted
marker at 58:58 to make it 3-0.
Madjarac’s assist came just over 10 minutes later when she found Persson open in
the middle of the box for an easy score and a
4-0 advantage.
Renee Hurd set the final score at 78:20
with an unassisted goal of her own.
Lindsey Wilson enjoyed a 25-4 edge in
shots, including 12-1 in shots on goal. Rio’s
four shots included a PK which was off the
mark by junior forward Alex Davis in the
opening minutes of the match.
Josephine Frigge went the first 86:04 in
goal for the Blue Raiders before giving way
to Loren Cerafice, who completed the shutout.
Sophomore net-minder Allison Keeney
went the distance for the RedStorm and recorded seven saves in the loss.
The loss marked the final appearance in a
Rio uniform for seniors Katie Fuller (Hamilton, OH) and Venessa Montgomery (Chillicothe, OH).

Ohio State head football coach Urban Meyer coaches the “Scarlet Team” during the
Scarlet vs Grey spring game in Columbus, Ohio, on April 21.

academically, get that in order,” he
said. “Get their weights up and bodies right. You get (a bye) usually
week six, seven. (I’ve) never had 10
weeks straight through.”
Ohio State will likely regain starting linebacker Etienne Sabino, who
has missed the last four games after
cracking a bone in his lower right
leg. Almost every Buckeye who plays
much has a litany of bumps and
bruises, with defensive backs Orhian
Johnson, Roby and Christian Bryant
in particular hoping to get back to
something approaching full health.
The coaches, meanwhile, will
pound the pavement (or airways) doing some in-season recruiting.
Defensive co-coordinator Everett
Withers relishes the chance to mention Ohio State’s unbeaten record
when he calls on blue-chippers.
“I’m anxious just to see. I’ve never
been undefeated on the road recruiting,” he said. “I imagine it will
be easy to go into that high school
and talk to that high school coach
and counselor with people knowing
you’re 10-0.”
Still, the upcoming tests will never
be far from everyone’s mind.
“Going to Wisconsin, it’s not going to be an easy game,” safety C.J.
Barnett said. “I’ve never been over
there — I was hurt my sophomore

year — but I heard it’s a hostile environment. They have a great running
back (in Montee Ball) who can run
the ball, great coaches. It’s going to
be a tough one but I think we can do
it.”
Carlos Hyde, who has become one
of the top backs in the Big Ten, has
solidified the tailback slot and taken
some of the heat off of quarterback
Braxton Miller, who was saddled
with having to make almost every
big play for the Buckeyes early in the
season.
Hyde, who has 144 carries for 737
yards and 13 touchdowns in a breakout season, is pleased with Ohio
State’s lofty ranking. Sort of.
“We’re pretty good, but we can be
a lot better,” he said. “There’s a lot of
things to work on.”
For Roby, now is a good time to
think about everything that’s been
done — and also everything left to
do.
“It’s hard to win 10 games in a row
and that’s what we accomplished,”
he said. “Right now, it’s a grind. The
whole season is a grind. We’re going to keep getting better and keep
winning. Coach Meyer has given us
some time off during the bye week so
we can get healthy.
“That’s what we’re going to do.”
