that I am paranoid or jealous. Am I? — D.R.
Dear D.R.: Only you
know what you are feeling
and thinking, but it certainly is not paranoid to object
to something that is going
on right in front of your
eyes. I’m sure you agree
that in a perfect world,
newlyweds would have
eyes only for one another,
and the fact that you don’t
think much of your brotherin-law means that these two
probably are not doing it as
any kind of “payback” for
you flirting with your sister’s husband. But are you
sure you never stole a guy
from your sister, or dated
one of her old boyfriends,
or got most of the attention
when you were growing
up? Sometimes these old issues can pop up when you
least expect it, and what’s
old news to you is a motivation to get even to a sister.
If that’s not the case, you
have every right to be concerned, and you should lay
down some ground rules
before things get out of
hand. It could be that your
sister is naturally flirtatious — you would know
this by now — and it’s a
harmless thing that will
never go anywhere. You
should consider speaking
to both your husband and
your sister separately, being pleasant but firm about
your expectation that they
have a good in-law relationship throughout the years
but nothing that would disrespect or worry you. Keep
it light, but don’t let either
of them off the hook.

Races
From Page 1
Three spots on the Ohio Supreme Court
were up for election on Tuesday. While
state-wide numbers are not available, the
AP is reporting Justice Yvette McGee
Brown, of Columbus, is the court’s lone
Democrat. She faced Republican Sharon
Kennedy, a Butler County domestic relations judge, in a bid to serve an unexpired
term through 2014. McGee Brown had
been appointed in 2010 to fill a vacancy
left when Maureen O’Connor became chief
justice.
Kennedy is leading with about threefourths of the vote reported in unofficial
results.
Republican Justice Terrence O’Donnell,
of Cleveland, has a solid lead over Democratic state Sen. Mike Skindell, of suburban
Cleveland.
In the third race, Justice Robert Cupp,
of Lima, is slightly trailing Democrat William O’Neill of Cleveland, a retired appeals
court judge from Cleveland who works as a
registered nurse.
Meigs and Gallia counties supported
Kennedy, O’Donnell, and O’Neill in the
three races.
Meigs County voters showed slight support for Leonard Holzapfel in the Court of
Appeals race, while Gallia County favored
Holzapfel 4,895 to 3,376.
Voters in the region voted “no” on State
Issues 1 and 2.
Voter turnout in Meigs County exceeded
61 percent with 10,197 ballots cast. In Gallia County voter turnout was approximately 55 percent.
Statewide results of these races will appear in the Thursday edition of The Daily
Sentinel and Gallipolis Daily Tribune.

Holzer celebrates National
Home Care and Hospice Month
OHIO VALLEY — Millions of Americans receive
home-delivered
health
care from home health
care providers. In their
honor, Holzer Home Care
joins the National Association for Home Care
and Hospice in celebrating November as National
Home Care Month under
the theme, “Celebrating
Freedom — Quality Care
at Home.”
In addition, Holzer
recognizes the National
Hospice Month theme of
“Taking Care and Compassion to the Next Level”.
Hospice is not about dying. Hospice turns illness
into a journey by committing to the highest quality of care, and can make
those final days a blessing
by helping patients focus
on what matters most. As
the end comes near, many
hospice patients probe
some of life’s most intimate questions: Who am I
really? Who do I love, and
have I loved well? What do
I believe in, and has my life
really mattered?
In observance of this special month, a mini-health
fair will be held on Tuesday, November 27 from 1
p.m. to 4 p.m. at the Fleur
De Leis Conference Room
in the Hospice, Home
Care, and Extra Care Office area at 2881 SR 160,
Gallipolis, Ohio. Glucose,
Cholesterol, blood pressure and body fat screenings will be available, as
well as light refreshments.
Advanced Directive plan-

ning will also be available
for anyone interested.
Hospice provides stateof-the-art medical care
that provides comfort
and eases pain, uses new
technologies to speed up
its response to patients’
needs, and gives bereavement support. It offers
public education on endof-life care, nd hospice
makes life’s final passage
that much gentler by helping people to face the end
at home.
“Caring for the patients
in their homes truly is a
privilege for us,” said Sharon Shull, MSN, RN, Director of Holzer Home Care
and Hospice. “Home care
and hospice professionals,
volunteers and modern
medicine make it possible
for people to stay in their
homes, regardless of their
condition.”
Through technological
advances, home-delivered
health care has grown
far beyond basic professional nursing and home
care aide services. Today’s
modern home care agency
offers a wealth of nursing,
physical, occupational, respiratory and speech therapies, counseling, dietary,
laboratory, dental, optical,
pharmacy, podiatry, x-ray,
medical equipment and
home medical supplies,
and personal care.
Home care and hospice
services are paid for by
public and private sources,
or directly by patients and
their families. Third-party
payers include commercial

insurance, managed care
organizations, CHAMPUS,
and workers’ compensation. Medicare and staterun Medicaid are significant payers, often driving
the payment agenda for
commercial insurance. Despite massive cutbacks in
government funding, home
care continues to be the
preferred means of receiving quality health care services for millions of Americans.
In addition, Holzer Extra Care offers a variety of
personal care, homemaking, housekeeping, and
respite services. Our Extra Care services do not
require a doctor’s order or
medical need and are available to anyone who could
use a little help around the
home.
“Our goal is to help our
patients remain in their
own home environment for
as long as possible,” stated
Vicki Nottingham, RN,
Director of Holzer Extra
Care. “Accomplishing this
makes our job so rewarding and allows patients
to feel well cared for, safe
and content in familiar surroundings.”
The experienced, caring staff of Holzer Home
Care, Holzer Hospice, and
Holzer Extra Care are also
members of the communities we serve and strive to
provide each patient with
outstanding care. For more

China hauls away activists Utility workers face tasks
monumental and mundane
in congress crackdown
Jonathan Fahey
AP Energy Writer

Gillian Wong

The Associated Press

BEIJING — During
her 30-hour train journey
to Beijing, Wang Xiulan
ducked into bathrooms
whenever the conductors
checked IDs. Later, as she
lay low in the outskirts of
the capital, unidentified
men caught her in a nighttime raid and hauled her
to a police station. She
assumed a fake identity to
get away, and is now in hiding again.
Wang’s not a criminal.
She’s a petitioner.
She’s among many people attempting to bring
local complaints directly
to the central government
in an age-old Chinese tradition that has continued
during the Communist
Party era. But police never
make that easy, and this
week, as an all-important
leadership transition begins, a dragnet is aimed at
keeping anyone perceived
as a threat or a troublemaker out of Beijing.
“There is no law in
China, especially for us
petitioners and ordinary
folk,” Wang, 50, said in an
interview with The Associated Press. “Even common
gangsters and hoodlums
get to leave after they serve
time for crimes, but for us,
if we get locked up, we never know when we might be
freed.”
Authorities want no surprises as the handover of
power begins in the capital
Thursday. The transition
already has been rocked
by the party’s messiest
scandal in decades, involving a former high-flying
politician now accused of
engaging in graft and obstructing the investigation
into his wife’s murder of a
British businessman.
Rights groups say the
wide-ranging crackdown
on critics bodes poorly for
those who hope the incoming generation of leaders
will loosen restrictions on
activism.
“China’s top political
leaders are very nervous,
as they have since early
this year been consumed

by one of the most destabilizing and disharmonious power struggles in
decades,” said Renee Xia,
international director of
the Chinese Human Rights
Defenders. The group estimates that hundreds or
thousands of people have
come under some kind of
restriction in preparation
for the party congress.
Lawyers have been held
under illegal house arrest,
dissidents sent back to
their hometowns and activists questioned. Internet
users report difficulties
accessing many websites
and the failure of software
meant to bypass Internet
filters.
Veteran activist Huang
Qi, who runs a website on
petitioners like Wang, said
nearly 1,000 people have
contacted him over the
past few weeks to complain
that authorities have hired
thugs to harass and beat
them.
“I hope that the Chinese
authorities will face up
to the social problems,”
Huang said in an interview.
“Using violence will only
escalate the resistance.”
The crackdown reflects
the leadership’s nervousness as slowing economic
growth exacerbates public
outrage over corruption,
social injustice, pollution
and favoritism toward
state-run agencies and the
elite at the expense of ordinary people.
Under normal circumstances, petitioners are relatively safe once they reach
Beijing’s outskirts, though
in their home provinces
they are almost perpetually on the run from hostile
local officials or thugs-forhire who want to nab them
before they can get an audience with central government agencies.
Now, however, even the
capital’s fringes are off limits.
Wang, a petite woman
with shoulder-length hair
neatly tied back, has been
trying for two decades to
draw central government
attention to what she says
was police mishandling of
a serious assault she suf-

fered in her native Harbin.
Not only did her attacker
go unpunished, but Wang
ended up getting dismissed
from her job years later.
Wang arrived in late
October in Lu Village in
Beijing’s southwest, where
petitioners have sought refuge for years. A police post
guards the road into the
village, and residents say
officers have lately blocked
petitioners from entering.
Wang had rented a bed
— a wooden plank on
bricks — in a tiny concrete
room shared with two others. A gang of two dozen
men barged in one night at
11 p.m., demanded to see
her ID, searched her belongings and grabbed her
cellphone.
“I was scared to death
when they suddenly barged
in here,” Wang said, pointing at the door, where the
lock had just been replaced.
The men refused to
identify themselves and
bundled her into a minivan with other petitioners.
At another stop, she saw
a couple dragged into the
vans in their pajamas, the
woman wearing only one
shoe.
All were taken to a police station in nearby Jiujingzhuang village, where
many petitioners say police process them for return to their hometowns.
Using someone else’s
identity, Wang was able to
evade police suspicion and
was released. Many of the
others were sent back, she
said.
The raids are having an
effect. The compound that
houses her room and others now has only a handful
of residents, down from
about 30.
“They’ve all been chased
away, caught or scared
home,” said Liu Zhifa, a
67-year-old petitioner from
Henan province and one
of the holdouts. Liu confirmed Wang’s description
of the Oct. 31 raid and described his own encounter
with thugs breaking his
lock and entering his room
three times in one night in
mid-October.

HOBOKEN, N.J. — For utility crews
racing to restore power to residents of
this waterfront city that have been sitting
in the dark for a week, the task is both
mundane and monumental: Clean a bunch
of gunk off electrical equipment with rags
and cleaning spray.
That’s the way it has been across the
Northeast, as crews clean, replace and fix
the equipment needed to get the lights
back on for millions of customers who
lost power when Superstorm Sandy blew
through.
In Hoboken, the salty, filthy floodwater
of the Hudson River swamped a substation that relays power to 10,000 homes
and businesses. It worked its way into
switches and in between wires. It washed
over the hunks of copper and silver capable of handling 26,000 volts of electricity. It fouled everything below a perfectly
straight line of dirt on all the boxes of circuit breakers and transformers on site that
marked the crest of the flood.
“It’s getting the crud off,” said Mike
Fox, a Public Service Electric and Gas Co.
engineer who was supervising the company’s substation restoration. “It’s nothing
earth shaking, but it’s a lot of stuff.”
Sixty-seven thousand utility workers in
the Northeast are working day and night
on tasks they are familiar with: putting up
telephone poles, stringing wire and replacing transformers. But Sandy’s storm surge
added another dimension by attacking the
utilities’ internal equipment. Switching
stations, substations and underground
electrical networks were inundated in
Manhattan, Brooklyn, Hoboken and elsewhere.
But it’s the sheer volume of work that is
making the power outages last so long for
some. At the peak, 8.5 million homes and
businesses were without power. A week
after the storm walloped the Northeast,
1.4 million customers remained in the
dark, mostly in New York and New Jersey.
Getting the power back on for all of them
will take at least another week.
Frustration is turning to anger and despair. The air in the region has a winter
chill and another storm is approaching.
Some without power see neighbors with
twinkling chandeliers even as they still
use candles.
Fox gets it. He has been taking cold
showers and using a flashlight to shave
every morning before setting out from his
house in Westfield, N.J. to the substations
that need repair. On Sunday his neighbors
started an email exchange suggesting they
complain to PSE&amp;G in hopes of getting
service back quicker.
“I had to head them off at the pass,
and explain why it can take so long,” he
said. “Every day people get a little more
strained and stressed. I’d be losing patience too if I had time to.”
Local workers have plenty of help:
Utility crews from as far away as the
West Coast started streaming toward
the Northeast in their bucket trucks
even before the storm hit. But feeding,
housing and outfitting thousands of out-

of-state workers has its own challenges.
Utilities have agreements with local
hotels to house workers, but as the extent of the damage became apparent, and
homeowners abandoned their powerless
homes for hotel rooms, a housing crunch
developed.
A crew from Duke Energy that specializes in underground electricity transmission based in Cincinnati arrived in New
York on Wednesday to help Consolidated
Edison restore power to lower Manhattan. Getting a hotel in New York was even
tougher than advertised.
The crew was first sent to a Girl Scout
Camp near Rye, N.Y. After that was the
Marriot Marquis in Times Square. But instead of getting a room they were asked to
“hot bed,” military style: they’d get a bed
for 8 hours before they had to pack up and
leave. Next stop: The Hudson River. They
were put on a dinner cruise boat called
the Hornblower Infinity docked at Pier
41 that had rows of cots where tables and
chairs once sat.
Finally, on Saturday, they were moved
— for good it seems — to the Hudson Hotel, a boutique luxury hotel on 58th Street.
Not a bad upgrade.
For the workers on loan to PSE&amp;G, the
day starts at 6 a.m. when busses take them
from their hotels to staging areas like the
one in the gigantic parking lot at the Garden State Plaza, in Paramus, NJ.
The staging area was set up with the
help of 10 logistics experts from Florida
Power &amp; Light who know a thing or two
about hurricanes. It operates like a giant
outdoor assembly line. Workers climb into
800 trucks parked at the site that have
been fueled overnight with tanker trucks
brought in from Pennsylvania. They pick
up their instructions and a PSE&amp;G worker called a “bird dog” that knows the service territory.
They proceed in two columns past pallets stacked with parts and equipment
and pick up what they need for the day —
wire, insulators, brackets — and bagged
lunches. Then they head off for 16 hours
of line work.
At a site in Allendale, N.J., one huge
tree had taken town five utility poles and
11 sets of wire. A Centerpoint Energy
team of 15 workers and 8 trucks — one
with a Texas flag flying from its crane —
labored much of the day and into the night
digging holes for the poles, raising them,
and hanging new wire.
Shane Pittman, a Centerpoint worker
from Angleton, Texas, arrived with his
crew on Oct. 29. Other than the number
of trees and the cold — it was the first hurricane cleanup he had done that required
winter clothing — he said it was just like
back home.
PSE&amp;G said it is using 4,000 out-ofstate workers to erect at least 1,000 new
poles in its service territory. As of Monday, the company had restored service
to 1.3 million of the 1.7 million who lost
power in its service territory. It has also
restored power to 78 percent of the gas
stations in its region, which should ease
the long lines seen at stations that had
both power and fuel.

POMEROY — Projects
of remembering others
were reviewed at the recent meeting of Return
Jonathan Meigs Chapter,
Daughters of the American Revolution held at the
Pomeroy Library.
Regent Opal Grueser
noted that Nancy Wright,
state organizing secretary,
will be picking up clothing to be donated to the
Tamassee DAR owned
school in South Carolina,
and that paper back books,
toiletries and tee shirts
will be sent to the Veterans Hospital for patients
there. It was also voted to
send phone cards to an active military member, and,
at the suggestion of Karen

Werry that a book about
Ohio, “The Lost Children
of The Ohio Valley,” be
purchased for the National
DAR Society.
It was reported that a
meeting had previously
been held to assist new applicants for DAR membership, via the internet,
Return Jonathan Meigs
DAR meeting was held at
the Pomeroy Library on
October 20, 2012 . The
meeting was opened by
Regent Opal Grueser, with
the DAR Ritual, Pledge Allegiance of the American
Flag, and the American
Creed recited by members
attending.
The sunshine report, a
flag fact, and the Ameri-

can Indian report were
given by the regent who
also noted that soup labels
are being sent to the Kate
Duncan School.
Following the business
meeting Mary Powell gave
the program on the origin and history of Meigs
County. She noted that
Meigs County was formed
in 1819, and at that time
the Commissioners held
their meetings in a log
cabin located on Leading
Creek. In 1822 the State
of Ohio mandated that
a more formal meeting
place was necessary, and in
1823 a brick courthouse,
as well as a story and onehalf jail was built at Chester. These buildings were

used from 1823 until 1840.
The Courthouse was then
moved to a new building
in Pomeroy due to the increase of industries along
the river.
She noted that Meigs
County has 12 townships
with Lebanon being the
largest. Refreshments were
served by Betty Milhoan
and Peggy Moore following the meeting. The next
meeting will be held at
1p.m. on Nov. 17, at the
Pomeroy library with the
Rev. Thomas Johnson
speaking on his time in the
Navy. Military personnel,
retirees, and other related
persons are invited to attend the meeting.

Poll problems cropping up in spots
WASHINGTON (AP)
— Sporadic problems
were reported Tuesday at
polling places around the
country, many in Pennsylvania including a confrontation involving Republican inspectors over access
to some polls and a voting
machine that lit up for
Republican Mitt Romney
even when a voter pressed
the button for President
Barack Obama.
One Florida elections office mistakenly told voters
in robocalls the election
was on Wednesday.
Although the majority
of complaints were about
extremely long lines, the
Election Protection coalition of civil rights and voting access groups said they
had gotten some more serious calls among more
than 69,000 received on a
toll-free voter protection
hotline.
“The calls have been hot
and heavy all day long,”
said Barbara Arnwine,
president of the Lawyers
Committee for Civil Rights
Under Law.
In Philadelphia, the Republican Party said 75 legally credentialed voting
inspectors were blocked
from polling places in the
heavily Democratic city,

prompting the GOP to
obtain a court order providing them access. Local prosecutors were also
looking into the reports.
Democratic Party officials
did not immediately return
a message seeking comment.
Also in central Pennsylvania, officials said
the voting machine that
switched a person’s vote
from Obama to Romney
has been recalibrated and
is back in service.
Pennsylvania Department of State spokesman Ron Ruman said the
Perry County voter notified elections officials of
the problem after trying
to cast his ballot Tuesday. Video of what Ruman called a “momentary
glitch” was widely viewed
on YouTube.
Pennsylvania was also
the scene of what a state
Common Cause official
called “widespread” confusion over voter ID require-

ments. The state this year
enacted a new photo ID
requirement but it was put
on hold for Tuesday’s election by a judge amid concern many voters would
not be able to comply on
time.
Barry Kauffman, executive director of Common
Cause in Pennsylvania,
said election workers in
many places were demanding IDs even though they
are not required. It was
unclear, however, just how
many voters may have
been turned away or discouraged.
“There seems to be a
lot of confusion about
voter ID. Apparently the
poll workers were not adequately trained,” he said.
Also in Philadelphia, a
judge ordered a mural of
President Barack Obama
covered up after a Republican election worker
snapped a picture of it at
a school polling place, according to a statement

from the Republican Party.
The battleground state
of Ohio was the scene of
yet another court battle,
this one involving a lawsuit
claiming voting software
installed by the state could
allow manipulation of ballots by people not connected to official election

11 locals named to
All-TVC volleyball teams
Bryan Walters

bwalters@heartlandpublications.com

A total of 11 people from
the Ohio Valley Publishing
area were selected to the
2012 All-Tri-Valley Conference volleyball squads in
both the Ohio and Hocking
divisions, as voted on by
the coaches of the respective leagues.
Ten athletes and one
coach were named to the
All-TVC teams from the
tri-county area, and all
but one of those selections
went to programs in the
TVC Hocking Division.
Eastern led the area with
five selections, while South
Gallia and Southern had
two apiece. Wahama had
one choice to round out the
TVC Hocking selections,
and Meigs had one choice
in the TVC Ohio Division.
The Lady Eagles went
unbeaten in TVC Hocking
play for a second straight
year en route to a repeat
championship, which allowed EHS coach Howie
Caldwell to again be named
the TVC Hocking Division
coach of the year. Waterford senior Brooke Drayer
was named the TVC Hocking Most Valuable Player.
Seniors Ally Hendrix
and Gabby Hendrix were
selected to the All-TVC
team for the Lady Eagles,
as were juniors Jordan
Parker and Madison Rigsby. Parker, Rigsby and

Gabby Hendrix were all
first-time recipients of this
award in volleyball, while
Ally Hendrix was a repeat
selection from a year ago.
The fifth-place Lady
Rebels were represented by
seniors Meghan Caldwell
and Ellie Bostic. Bostic is
a first-time honoree, while
Caldwell came away with a
repeat selection.
The sixth-place Lady
Tornadoes were represented by junior Jordan Huddleston and freshman Ali
Deem, a pair of first-time
choices for the All-TVC
volleyball squad. Wahama
senior Kelsey Zuspan was
also a repeat choice for AllTVC Hocking honors.
The Lady Marauders finished last in TVC Ohio play
and landed only one player
on the all-league squad,
and that honor went to
senior Emily Kinnan — a
first-time selection.
Alexander’s Nick Wendt
won coach of the year honors after the Lady Spartans
won the TVC Ohio. Macy
Brickles of AHS and Kaytlin Maiden of NelsonvilleYork shared the most valuable player award. Maiden
was the lone MVP in the

standings with two races
remaining in the Chase for
the Sprint Cup championship.
Those three restarts
over the closing 19 laps
on Sunday will go down as
some of the most memorable racing of the Chase.
It also saved a race that
would have been memorable for being largely forgettable up to that point.
It took over three hours
Sunday to get to the good
stuff, and it’s clearly not
cutting it with fans. ESPN
drew a 2.5 overnight rating, down 11 percent from
a 2.8 in 2011.
Texas owner Bruton
Smith alluded to the issues this weekend, when
he said NASCAR needs to
work at “making the racing
more exciting.”

“I think we can do better and we need to work
at it diligently and make
what we bring to the public better,” said Smith, who
suggested slowing the cars
by 10-15 mph to increase
rubbing between competitors, and smaller fuel tanks
to force more frequent pit
stops.
Because, Smith said,
races with long green-flag
runs that are decided by
fuel mileage are “boring,
boring, boring.”
And that’s what Sunday
was shaping up to be as
Johnson, who started from
the pole, shot out of the
gates and jumped out to a
sizeable lead.
He led the first 48 laps,
stopped for gas and tires,
then led 51 more laps before NASCAR called its

first caution of the race, for
debris. In fact, of the nine
cautions on Sunday, five of
them were for debris.
And one of them may
have set the tone for the
finish that had everyone
talking on Monday.
Keselowski was leading with Johnson in third
when NASCAR called caution for debris 58 laps from
the scheduled finish and
teams in various stages of
fuel-mileage strategy. Keselowski went on to pit road
as the leader, but locked up
his brakes and slid deep
into his stall, a miscue
that dropped him to eighth
when he got back onto the
track.
Cautions breed cautions,
and there were three more

Race
From Page 6
ahead. It set the sequence for Keselowski to take two tires during
the final pit stops when everyone
else took four tires so he could
reclaim the lead, then try to hold
off the field over those three final
restarts.
After successfully getting past
Busch on the first restart, Johnson cried foul and argued Keselowski had gone too early.
“Come on, NASCAR,” Johnson complained over his radio.
“Look at the tape.”
Ironically, it was Johnson who
many believe went early on the
third and final restart, the one
that got him past Keselowski for

the victory. But NASCAR made
no call in either case, reiterating
Monday neither case warranted
a penalty.
Keselowski was ticked about
something after the race, when
he radioed to his Penske Racing crew: “Good job everybody.
Can’t do anything about it when
somebody is handed the race
time after time.”
Hard to tell if he meant the
debris caution that changed his
strategy or the restart that Johnson won, because he was softer
in his post-race interviews.
“I knew I wasn’t going to be
able to execute every restart and
Jimmie did a great job on the last
one,” he said. “I had to choose

between wrecking him and winning the race and it didn’t seem
right to wreck him.”
It wouldn’t have been right,
but it sure would have been controversial, and that’s something
else Smith had called for more
of the day before Sunday’s race.
The track owner argued today’s
drivers lack the “mean streak” of
NASCAR’s blue-collar pioneers,
and said interest in the sport
would spike with more off-track
contact.
“It would add a great deal to
what we do, and we would have
more drama if maybe some driver got out at the end of the race
and hit somebody,” Smith said.
“I think that’s what’s missing. We
Miscellaneous

used to have a lot of that.”
That creates post-race fireworks, but doesn’t do anything
to fill the dearth of action Texas
suffered through for the first
400-plus miles.
NASCAR has two races left
in this Chase and heads next to
Phoenix, where Johnson is decidedly more experienced than
Keselowski. He could pounce on
Sunday and potentially turn the
Nov. 18 finale at Homestead into
a coronation of his sixth championship.
It would be a nightmare situation for NASCAR, which is working feverishly behind the scenes
on its 2013 car. The hope is the
new model will improve the rac-

ing on the intermediate tracks,
where passing has become so
difficult.
But NASCAR chairman Brian
France recognized some time
ago there was a problem with
the product, and that big finishes
and debris cautions and controversial restarts and even postrace fisticuffs can’t eclipse a bad
show forever.
We’ll see what the next two
weeks bring for this championship race. And then the slate is
wiped clean for NASCAR, which
gets a fresh start next season at
proving the show can be exciting
before the grand finale.

CONCEPTIS SUDOKU
by Dave Green

HAPPY BIRTHDAY for
Wednesday, Nov. 7, 2012:
This year you feel empowered and
energized. You sometimes might not
think that you will land on your feet,
but you will — just keep the faith. You
have the capacity to spend a lot and
also to make a lot. Focus on your
long-term goals. If you are single,
meeting people is a breeze. Take
your time when deciding whom to
choose. If you are attached, the two
of you might have different visions of
what constitutes “the good life.” Know
that there is a way to bridge this gap.
VIRGO is a friend you always can
count on.
The Stars Show the Kind of Day
You’ll Have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive;
3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult
ARIES (March 21-April 19)
HHHH You have a tremendous
reservoir of energy and creativity.
Plug this unusually high-voltage vitality into where it will make a difference. Your spontaneity emerges, and
it seems as though you can do no
wrong. Tonight: Let your hair down.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20)
HHH You might be considering
spending more time at home. You
could be pushed and pulled between
two seemingly opposite interests.
Consider a home-based business
more seriously, if that is a fantasy of
yours. Tonight: Play it low-key.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20)
HHHH You might want to keep a
conversation moving. You could learn
a lot just by saying whatever is necessary to keep the other party chatting. This person could be clearing
up a lot of hostility, which will make it
easier for him or her to relate to others. Tonight: Visit with an old pal.
CANCER (June 21-July 22)
HHHH A cohort or friend has
strong opinions about what you
should and should not do. You could
be unusually irritated by this person’s
interference. You know a lot more
about what works for you. Listen
politely, but follow your chosen path.
Tonight: Your treat.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)
HHHH Be realistic about your limits. You could be pushing someone
away. Your hot temper often comes
out with someone close to you.
Words that are said will be difficult to
take back, so be careful when voicing your opinions. With your innate
flair for drama, you sometimes come
off more confident than you realize.
Tonight: All smiles.

Horoscope

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
HHH Much is going on, but you
might choose to stay mum at this
point in time. You are dealing with
some suppressed feelings that could
affect your perspective. Your lowspirited attitude could lead to an
argument with a roommate or family
member. Tonight: Nap, then decide.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
HHHH You could be overthinking
a situation more than usual. Question
yourself as to what is irking or driving
you. Root out your deeper feelings
before saying anything, as misunderstandings are easy to have at this
point. Tonight: Join friends for a midweek break.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
HHH Pressure builds, and you
might feel as if you must accomplish
or complete a task to someone else’s
expectations. You demand a lot of
yourself — possibly even more than
this other person does. Tonight: A
force to be dealt with.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
HHHH Take another look at a
situation, as your perspective might
have been a little harsh the first time
around. You have the resilience necessary to take a verbal blow or two
and not let it affect a situation. Know
that not everyone is like you. Tonight:
Follow the music.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
HHHH A partner or close friend
initiates a conversation. It could be
about a project you are working on
together. Your temper flares very
easily and often out of the blue. You
might not be pleased if you let yourself say the first thing that comes to
mind. Tonight: Chat and visit over
dinner.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
HHHHH Others seek you out, and
for the most part, you are pleased to
hear their news. A meeting could be
far more important than you realize
— do not hesitate to make the first
move. Someone might be cantankerous, no matter what you do. Tonight:
In the whirlwind of life.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)
HHHH Dive right in to whatever
you have on the schedule for today,
as you’ll want to get through it as
quickly as possible. You have a lot of
ground to cover. Be social and forthright in your dealings. Someone might
be a bit difficult to deal with. Tonight:
Meet up with a friend.

Home field not much of
an advantage in Big 12

Submitted photo | URG athletics

Rio Grande’s Brittany Piccone, foreground, and Amy Lower, following, shown here during last
Saturday’s Mid-South Conference Cross Country Championship on the URG campus, were
both named as Academic All-MSC selections.

Rio Grande’s Lower, Piccone
named Academic All-MSC
Special to OVP

RIO GRANDE — Two
members of the University
of Rio Grande women’s
cross country team have
been named an Academic
All-Mid-South Conference
selection.
Senior Amy Lower
(Lancaster, OH) and
sophomore Brittany Piccone (Crooksville, OH)
represented the RedStorm
on the list of 30 honorees

announced by the league
following the 2012 MSC
Championships last Saturday on the URG campus.
Both runners had their
season-best showings in
Saturday’s race. Piccone
finished 20th in a time of
20:51 and Lower was 21st
in a time of 20:52.
Lower has a grade point
average of 3.86, while Piccone carries a grade point
average of 3.83. Both are
Intervention Specialist majors.

In order to be nominated, a student-athlete must
maintain a minimum GPA
of 3.25 on a 4.0 scale and
must have achieved at least
sophomore academic status.
Lindsey Wilson College
led the list with six honorees, while the University of
the Cumberlands had five.
Campbellsville University
and Georgetown College
had four representatives
each.

Dr. Stephen Shy D.O.

The two losses this season have come
against Kansas State and Notre Dame,
two of the nation’s top four teams.
“We’ve been here for 14 years. We’ve
got a decent home record. You’re not
going to win every one at home for 14
years,” Stoops said.
“Our home-field advantage is pretty
decent. All of a sudden, now, we can’t
win at home? OK, yeah. Well, I don’t buy
any of that.”
It is an unusual turn not only for Oklahoma but across the league. The best finish for visitors was a .500 mark in both
the inaugural Big 12 season in 1996 and
again in 2010. Last season, road teams
were 18-24.
The worst times for visitors came in
2003 (15-32), 2005 (15-31), 1998 (1531) and 1999 (16-31) when home teams
were winning about two-thirds of the
time.
For whatever reason, the tables have
turned so far in 2012. Iowa State’s Paul
Rhoads reasoned that perhaps the widespread usage of the no-huddle is helping.
“You’re doing more things by signaling and so forth, it probably takes the
crowd noise and that part of it and at
least minimizes it a little bit,” he said.
Maybe it’s no coincidence that this is
also the first year of a new Big 12 policy
that has restricted the crowd’s use of
certain noisemakers — such as Oklahoma State’s “Paddle People,” who bang
on a padded wall near the west end zone
— once teams are lined up.
“I think this is such a competitive
league and it’s one of those things where
it’s just factual: Anybody can beat anybody on any given day,” Kansas State
coach Bill Snyder said.
Of course, there’s still plenty of time
for the trend to be turned on its head
over the final month of the season.
“I think it’s important that you kind of
understand it’s probably a little bit of a
home-field advantage when you’re playing at home just for travel purposes, but
not in terms of playing when the game’s
played,” Tuberville said. “You’re going
to get the best out of both teams.”

NORMAN, Okla. (AP) — There’s
proving to be no home-field advantage
in the Big 12 this season.
Road teams are on track to have a winning record for the first time in the conference’s history, taking 16 of 27 games
so far this year for a .593 winning percentage. That’s almost an exact reversal
of the historical trend, with home teams
winning at a .594 clip over the league’s
first 16 years.
“It’s a little mind-boggling. It’s just the
strength of the teams. You can pretty
much win anywhere,” said Texas Tech
coach Tommy Tuberville, who understands the trend more than anyone else.
“Two of our conference games, we’ve
won on the road and we’ve lost a couple
at home. So, you just don’t know. It just
depends on the frame of mind of your
players and how they handle pressure
and how they handle travel.”
TCU has had a bewildering season,
too, by going 3-1 on the road in the Big
12 while starting out 0-2 at Amon G.
Carter Stadium in its first season in the
league. The Horned Frogs had won 40
of 43 games over the previous eight seasons and hadn’t lost back-to-back home
games in the same year since 1998.
“I think we’ve even played better on
the road because on the road you’re
playing in front of crowds of 50,000 to
85,000 or 90,000 people and I think
your kids get more jazzed up to play in
those kind of games,” Frogs coach Gary
Patterson said Monday.
Only No. 3 Kansas State hasn’t lost
at home in conference play this season.
The undefeated Wildcats are also 3-0 on
the road with wins at Oklahoma, Iowa
State and West Virginia heading into
back-to-back road games at TCU and
Baylor.
“I just believe it’s a tough league and
that everybody’s good, and if you’re not
at your best or you happen to make a few
turnovers or something, you’re going to
be on the wrong end of it,” Oklahoma
coach Bob Stoops said.
Stoops’ Sooners were once nearly invincible at home, having won 70 of his
first 72 games on Owen Field and putting together a 39-game home winning
streak that was the longest in the nation.
But Oklahoma has lost three of its last
seven home games heading into this Saturday’s game against Baylor.
