Incumbents Debbie Phillips, Lou Gentile, Bill Johnson and Sherrod Brown all won reelection to their respective seats. Phillips — the lone Democrat supported by Meigs County voters — defeated Republican Charles Richter for the 94th House District by a little more that 10,000 votes in the district. Phillips received 26,493 votes (62.14 percent) in the four counties, with Richter receiving 16,144 votes (37.86 percent). Meigs, Athens, and Vinton counties each supported Phillips, with Richter winning the Washington County vote. Gentile defeated Republican Shane Thompson for the State Senate District 30 race.Gentile received 52.79 percent (76,164 votes) of the vote in the district. Thompson received 47.21 percent (68,102). Meigs County supported Thompson 60 percent to 40 percent in the race. Thompson also won Carroll, Noble, Vinton and Washington counties. Gentile claimed victory in Ath- ens, Belmont, Harrison, Jefferson, and Monroe counties. Gentile was appointed to the Senate seat earlier this year after serving in the House of Representatives. Meigs County was previously in District 20, but is now in District 30 following redistricting. According to the Associated Press, Gentile’s victory keeps the Ohio Senate with a 23-10 Republican advantage as it was last year. Republican Bill Johnson won reelection in the U.S. House of Representatives 6th District. Johnson defeated Charlie Wilson by nearly 20,000 votes district wide. Johnson received 53.37 percent (156,063 votes) to 46.63 percent (136,357 votes) for Wilson. Johnson won Athens, Carroll, Columbiana, Gallia, Harrison, Jack- son, Lawrence, Mahoning, Meigs, Monroe, Muskingum, Noble, Scioto and Washington counties. In Meigs County, the vote for Johnson was 54.88 percent to 45.12 percent. Wilson earned victory in Belmont, Jefferson, Monroe and Tuscarawas counties. Belmont and Jefferson counties favored Wilson by approximately 400 votes each. Despite a nearly even split in southeast Ohio, incumbent Senator Sherrod Brown defeated Republican Josh Mandel. In the Southeast Region, Mandel received 111,142 votes to 111,028 for Brown. Independent Scott Rupert received 11,200 votes. Statewide, Brown received just over 50 percent of the vote. Mandel received 45 percent, with Rupert pulling nearly five percent of the vote. Ohio voters state-wide defeated Issue 1 and Issue 2 on Tuesday’s ballot.

Issue 1 was defeated by a 68.28 percent to 31.72 percent throughout the state. Issue 2 would have established a commission to redraw district boundaries. Issue 2 was defeated by a vote of 63.45 percent to 36.55 percent in the state. Voter turnout in Meigs County was 61.02 percent, with 10,197 of the 16,710 voting in the election.

Museum staff are asking the public for contact information on family members of victims. They are also in need of photos of the victims. Though some photos were submitted and placed in a new book on the disaster, photos on other victims were never located.

That is why the Ohio State Highway Patrol is encouraging all motorists to buckle-up this upcoming holiday season and continue to do so throughout the New Year. Last year more than 62% of the people killed on Ohio’s roadways were not wearing a safety belt. “It’s simple — safety belts save lives and reduce injury in crashes,” said Lt. Max Norris, commander of the Gallia/ Meigs Post. “It is the easiest thing you can do to protect yourself, your family and your friends.” The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration esti- mates 363 lives were saved in Ohio and 12,546 were saved nationwide in 2011 as a direct result of motorists bucklingup. Using a safety belt remains the single most effective thing you can do to protect yourself in a crash. Choosing to wear a safety belt is a personal choice and Ohio’s safety belt compliance rate indicates that motorists are doing so more now than ever. According to Ohio’s 2011 Observational Seatbelt Survey, 84 percent of motorists were found to be in compliance with Ohio’s safety belt law. This is nearly 20 percent higher than the 2000 usage rate. While these rates have steadily increased, far too many Ohioans still do not buckle-up. Ohio’s safety belt law remains a secondary violation, however troopers continue zero tolerance enforcement when motorists are stopped for other violations and are found to not be wearing their belt. Troopers ask that you wear your safety belt every time and insist that those who travel with you buckle-up as well. For a complete statistical analysis of safety belt violations please visit http://www. statepatrol.ohio.gov/doc/Safety_Belt_Bulletin_2012.pdf The public is encouraged to call #677 to report impaired drivers and drug activity. �Thursday, November 8, 2012 The Daily Sentinel • Page 3 www.mydailysentinel.com Gay-marriage backers end losing streak, look ahead NEW YORK (AP) — For years, foes of same-sex marriage had a potent talking point: They’d won every time the issue went to a popular vote. That winning streak has now been shattered in a multi-state electoral sweep by gay marriage supporters — a historic tipping point likely to influence other states and possibly even the Supreme Court. “It’s an astounding day,” said Kevin Cathcart of the gay-rights group Lambda Legal, recalling that in 2004 alone the gay-marriage movement went 0-13 in statewide elections and was 0-32 overall since 1998. In Tuesday’s voting, however, Maine and Maryland became the first states ever to approve samesex marriage by popular vote. Washington state seemed poised to follow suit, although slow ballot-counting there continued Wednesday. And in Minnesota, voters rejected a proposal to place a ban on gay-marriage in the state constitution, a step taken in past elections in 30 other states. “The anti-gay opposition kept moving the goal posts and had as their last talking point that we could not win a popular vote,” said Evan Wolfson, president of the advocacy group Freedom to Marry. “Last night, voters in Maine, Maryland, Minnesota, and, all signs suggest, Washington proved them wrong, wrong, wrong and wrong.” Heading into the election, gay marriage was legal in six states and the District of Columbia, in each case due to legislation or court orders rather than popular vote. Activists said Tuesday’s results will likely spur pushes for same-sex marriage in states that already have established civil unions for gay couples — including Illinois, Rhode Island, Hawaii and Delaware. Democratic takeovers of both legislative chambers in Colorado and Minnesota may also prompt moves there to extend legal recognition to same-sex couples. In each state, the Democratic governors, John Hickenlooper of Colorado and Mark Dayton of Minnesota, would support such efforts. In Minnesota, state Sen. Scott Dibble, who is openly gay, is among several Democratic lawmakers uncertain if an immediate push for gay marriage makes political sense. But Dibble, who is 47, said of himself and his partner: “We’ll be married in Minnesota in our lifetime.” Whatever happens at the statehouse level, the U.S. Supreme Court is also likely to become a pivotal battleground in the next phase of the gay-marriage debate. The justices are expected to confront same-sex marriage in some form during the current term. Several pending cases challenge a provision of the 1996 Defense of Marriage Act that deprives same-sex couples of federal benefits available to het- erosexual couples. A separate appeal asks the justices to decide whether federal courts were correct in striking down California’s Proposition 8, the amendment that outlawed gay marriage after it had been approved by courts in the nation’s largest state. “The justices now know America is with us. American is ready,” said Brian Ellner, cofounder of a social-media initiative called TheFour.com that was active in the gay-marriage campaigns. He and other activists noted that nationwide polls prior to the election were showing, for the first time, that a majority of Americans now backed gay marriage. James Esseks, director of the American Civil Liberties Union’s Lesbian Gay Bisexual and Transgender Project, termed the referendum results “an indisputable watershed moment” that almost certainly would influence the Supreme Court. “When making decisions on civil rights issues, the court follows the country, rather than leading,” he said. “They don’t make decisions in a complete public-opinion vacuum.” He noted that if the high court struck down Prop 8, that would immediately add California — with its 37 million residents — to the list of states allowing same-sex marriage. Had the four measures lost, said Evan Wolfson, justices might have been reluctant to wade in on the side of gay marriage. Now, he said, they could do so “knowing that their support will stand the test of time and, indeed, be true to where the American people already are.” The chairman of the leading advocacy group opposing samesex marriage, John Eastman of the National Organization for Marriage, said it was possible that the referendum results might nudge the high court toward a ruling favoring gay marriage. But Eastman said it also was possible the justices would decide to let the political process play out a bit longer at the state level before intervening. The National Organization for Marriage’s president, Brian Brown, expressed disappointment at the unprecedented losses for gay marriage opponents, who were outspent by at least 3-to-1 in the four referendum states — all of them won easily by President Barack Obama.. The results “reflect the political and funding advantages our opponents enjoyed in these very liberal states,” Brown said. “Our opponents and some in the media will attempt to portray the election results as a changing point in how Americans view gay marriage, but that is not the case.” For the gay-rights movement, the celebration extended far beyond the groundbreaking ballot measures. In Wisconsin, veteran congresswoman Tammy Baldwin became the first openly gay person elected to the U.S. Senate. At least five other openly gay Dem- ocrats were elected to House seats, while Kyrsten Sinema — vying to be the first openly bisexual member of Congress — was locked in a too-close-to-call race in Arizona. In Iowa, gay-marriage opponents failed on two counts. They lost a bid to oust one of the state Supreme Court justices who ruled in favor of gay marriage in 2009, and they were unable to take control of the state Senate, where Democratic Majority Leader Michael Gronstal has blocked a proposed amendment to overturn that ruling. More broadly, gay-rights leaders celebrated the re-election of Obama, who had frustrated them early in his term with his sometimes cautious stances. Over the past two years, he’s become a hero of the movement — playing a key role last year in enabling gays to serve openly in the military and this year becoming the first sitting president to endorse same sex-marriage. Among the next agenda items at the federal level is the proposed Employment Nondiscrimination Act, which would protect gays and transgender people from workplace discrimination. The gay-rights momentum even extended overseas. Spain’s top court upheld the legality of the country’s gay marriage law on Tuesday, and French President Francois Hollande’s Cabinet was pushing ahead Wednesday with a controversial bill that could see gay marriage legalized early next year. President Obama wins Ohio behind biggest cities COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Mitt Romney won most of Ohio geographically, while President Barack Obama won where the most votes were to win the pivotal battleground state again. The Democrat racked up votes in Ohio’s major urban/industrial areas, and Republican Mitt Romney carried nearly everywhere else. Obama was able to take the 18 electoral votes he and Romney fought so hard for by winning its most populated areas. He carried the six biggest counties in terms of votes, and eight of the top 10. He won two-thirds of the vote in the biggest cities, according to exit poll results for The Associated Press and the television networks. That was enough to offset strong showings by Romney in GOP-dominated suburbs and rural areas. Romney won about five of every six counties statewide. With all precincts reporting unofficial returns, Obama won by more than 107,000 votes, or nearly 50.2 percent, of 5.4 million votes cast, according to Ohio Secretary of State tallies.That was down from 2008, when he carried Ohio over John McCain with 51.5 percent of the vote, more than 262,000 votes ahead of the Republican. Obama’s support of federal help for an auto industry bailout was a game-changer, said the GOP state chairman, Bob Bennett. “The biggest determining factor was that we couldn’t handle the automobile bailout issue,” Bennett said Wednesday. “That’s where we significantly underperformed.” Voter samples indicated wide support for the Obama-backed auto bailout, helping an industry with plants and thousands of jobs in the state. The Romney campaign had made a late effort in Ohio to undercut Obama’s support on that issue, with Romney emphasizing his long ties to the auto industry in Michigan and proRomney ads belittling the president’s efforts as helpful to China. Union voters who normally make up a bigger chunk of the presidential electorate in Ohio than in other swing states favored Obama 60 percent to 38 percent, indicating not only support for the auto industry bailout but lingering fallout from the 2011 move by Republicans to restrict collective bargaining for public employee unions. Also, Ohioans whose families make less than $50,000 a year supported the president by a 3-to-5 margin, exit polls showed. Bob Rockenfield, 70, of Cincinnati, voted for Romney, but said Wednesday he felt Republicans are “just not getting across to people.” He thinks Obama won Ohio because of his appeal to union workers and minorities, “and also playing up that Romney was this country club rich boy and he was for the middle class.” Frank Hocker, 67, a retiree who once worked at a truck manufacturing plant in Springfield, said he wasn’t a single-issue voter, but Obama won his praise for helping the auto industry. “When Obama stuck his neck out and did the right thing with General Motors, you know, that satisfied me,” Hocker said. Some conventional thinking may be changed by the two most recent presidential elections. Once, Ohio’s three biggest cities were considered this way: Cleveland solidly Democratic, Cincinnati Republican, and Columbus a swing area. But Obama has now carried the Cincinnati and Columbus areas twice, racking up 60 percent in Columbus-based Franklin County, besides easily carrying Cleveland. Obama in 2008 became the first Democratic presidential candidate to carry Hamilton County (Cincinnati area) since Lyndon B. Johnson in 1964. Appalachian Ohio had been a swing region, with Bill Clinton carrying it twice. Romney expanded on McCain’s success there, winning three eastern Ohio counties — Belmont, Jefferson and Monroe — that last voted for a Republican presidential candidate in 1972 with Richard Nixon. In rural counties where voters often put faith concerns first, Romney won about 60 percent of the vote. Exit polls indicated Romney was more popular than Obama among voters looking for a president who shared their values. But Obama did much better with voters who felt he cared about their everyday concerns. “I guess in a way we see ourselves in him,” said Dominique Crittenden, 25, a nurse’s assistant in Cincinnati. “I felt like when he spoke, he spoke to me. I didn’t feel that Romney spoke to me.” There appears to be a widening generation gap among Ohio voters. For two consecutive elections, young voters have turned out in bigger numbers than they had in the past. And they again decisively backed Obama by a 2-to-1 margin. But the same held true for seniors who voted Republican again, while middle age voters and those nearing retirement age edged over to Romney after leaning Obama in 2008.

Rugaber Paul Wiseman, AP Economics Writers WASHINGTON — Some reward. Here’s the assignment President Barack Obama has won with his re-election: Improve an economy burdened by high unemployment, stagnant pay, a European financial crisis, slowing global growth and U.S. companies still too anxious to expand much. And, oh yes, an economy that risks sinking into another recession if Congress can’t reach a budget deal to avert tax increases and deep spending cuts starting in January. Yet the outlook isn’t all grim. Signs suggest that the next four years will coincide with a vastly healthier economy than the previous four, which overlapped the Great Recession. Obama has said he would help create jobs by preserving low income tax rates for all except high-income Americans, spending more on public works and giving targeted tax breaks to businesses. He used his victory speech in Chicago to stress that the economy is recovering and promised action in the coming months to reduce the government’s budget deficit, overhaul the tax system and reform immigration laws. “We can build on the progress we’ve made and continue to fight for new jobs and new opportunity and new security for the middle class,” Obama said. The jobs picture has already been improving gradually. Employers added a solid 171,000 jobs in October. Hiring was also stronger in August and September than first thought. Cheaper gas and rising home prices have given Americans the confidence to spend slightly more. Retailers, auto dealers and manufacturers have been benefiting. That said, most economists predict the improvement will remain steady but slow. The unemployment rate is 7.9 percent. Obama was re-elected Tuesday night with the highest unemployment rate for any incumbent president since Franklin Roosevelt. Few think the rate will return to a normal level of 6 percent within the next two years. The Federal Reserve expects unemployment to be 7.6 percent or higher throughout 2013. Economists surveyed last month by The Associated Press said they expected the economy to grow a lackluster 2.3 percent next year, too slight to generate strong job growth. From July through September, the economy grew at a meager 2 percent annual rate. Part of the reason is that much of Europe has sunk into recession. Leaders there are struggling to defuse a debt crisis and save the euro currency. Europe buys 22 percent of America’s exports, and U.S. companies have invested heavily there. Any slowdown in Europe dents U.S. exports and corporate profits. And China’s powerhouse economy is decelerating, slowing growth across Asia and beyond. Most urgently, the U.S. economy will fall over a “fiscal cliff” without a budget deal by year’s end. Spending cuts and tax increases that would total about $800 billion in 2013 will start to kick in. The combination of those measures would likely trigger a recession and drive unemployment up to 9 percent next year, according to estimates by the Congressional Budget Office. Many U.S. employers are wary of expanding or hiring until that potential crisis is averted. That’s why analysts have said resolving, or at least delaying, the fiscal cliff should be the most urgent economic priority for the White House. In the longer run, analysts are more optimistic. Americans are feeling generally better about the economy. Measures of con- The Daily Sentinel Reader Services Correction Policy Our main concern in all stories is to be accurate.

And the main reason unemployment rose from 7.8 percent in September to 7.9 percent in October was that more people felt it was a good time to look for work. Most found jobs. Those who didn’t were counted as unemployed. (The government counts people without jobs as unemployed only if they’re looking for one.) A brighter outlook among consumers is due, in part, to a steady increase in home prices after a painful six-year slump. Higher home prices can help create a “wealth effect,” making homeowners feel richer and spurring more spending. Banks are also more likely to lend freely when home prices rise because homes are more likely to hold their value. Americans have also been shrinking debts and saving slightly more. Household debt as a percentage of after-tax income dropped from about 125 percent before the recession to 103 percent in the April-June quarter, according to the Federal Reserve’s latest data. That ratio was roughly 90 percent in the 1990s. But thanks to record-low interest rates, the cost of repaying those debts has dropped sharply. That, in turn, will free up more money for consumers to spend on cars, appliances and other goods. Americans paid 10.7 percent of their after-tax income in interest on mortgages, credit cards and other consumer debt in this year’s April-June quarter, according to the Fed. That was down from 14 percent at the end of 2007. And it’s the lowest proportion since 1993. “That’s 3 percentage points of disposable income that I am no longer using to pay for stuff that I bought earlier but I can instead use to buy stuff now,” noted Alan Levenson, chief economist at T. Rowe Price. Timing is everything in politics. For four years, I angered conservatives by insisting Barack Obama would get reelected. I figured that an electorate willing to elect a man with ideas and a record that far to the left in 2008 would do so again. I began changing my view, however, after the first presidential debate. Over the last three or four weeks, I became confident that Mitt Romney would defeat Obama. Fortunately for Obama, two forces intervened to rescue him. One was the mainstream media, which ensured that Benghazi, Hurricane Sandy, and the increase in the unemployment rate wouldn’t be used to undermine Obama. As for Hurricane Sandy, Obama flew in for a photo-op and then immediately returned to campaigning. If George W. Bush were president, a relentless media would have ensured that Bush didn’t return to the campaign trail. The second force was David Axelrod and the campaign machine. I stand in awe at what they pulled off. They managed to push considerably more Democrats than Republicans to the polls (38-32 percent margin), closer to the 2008 turnout that favored Obama than the 2010 mid-term turnout that favored Republicans. Because they did, the predictions of an easy Romney victory by the likes of Dick Morris, Michael Barone, George Will, and Newt Gingrich (and myself) were dead wrong. We were certain that pollsters were oversampling Democrats. The pro-Republican, pro-Romney, and anti-Obama enthusiasm we were seeing was extremely intense. It was inconceivable to us that it could be overcome by a higher Democrat turnout. Somehow, however, it was, obliterating Romney’s five-point victory among independents.

I stand in stunned disbelief. David Axelrod, you are a miracle worker. How much of a miracle worker? Consider: The American people reelected a man who presided over one of the worst four-year economic records in American history. By every objective measurement, the economy is far worse than four years ago: 47 million on food stamps (up from 32 million); all-time record deficits and debit (dwarfing the Bush numbers); chronic unemployment; a prolonged non-recovering recovery; 636,000 homeless; a doubling of gas prices; and on and on. For historical perspective, consider this: No president since FDR in 1940 won reelection with an unemployment rate above 7.1 percent. And for FDR, that number was a huge improvement from four years earlier. How did Obama and his team overcome this? The answer: they successfully blamed it on George W. Bush, with Bill Clinton aiding and abetting the process. There were no limits to how much they blamed Bush, and how much it worked. The Democratic base swallowed it hook, line and sinker. Sadly, other things worked as well, and none are good for this country. The framing of Republicans as conducting a “war on women” because they don’t favor forced taxpayer funding of abortion, Planned Parenthood and contraception worked. The insistence that government-provided contraception is a new “entitlement” worked. The demonization of the Tea Party — a movement spontaneously created by Obama’s wild spending — worked. For that matter, Obama got away with the extraordinarily wasteful $800 billon “stimulus” package that didn’t stimulate and buried us fiscally. He even got away with the HHS mandate that constitutes the greatest threat to religious liberty (particularly against the Catholic Church) in at least a century. In terms of social policy, the electorate has given the green light to a president who is redefining marriage and promoting forced funding of abortion and contraception and embryo destruction—at the expense of religious liberty. Moreover, the president’s unceasing classwarfare rhetoric was rewarded by the electorate, as were his attacks on profits, the private sector, the wealthy, banking and investment, and the oil and natural gas industry. The Obama energy policy is advanced. Mitt Romney would have unleashed a boom for America’s domestic energy industry. That is now gone. That is a tragedy, the levels of which we will not be able to appreciate. And what about Romney? I had my reservations, but America rejected a genuinely decent man who had the best business background of anyone who would have ever assumed the Oval Office. He was the perfect person for the perfect time. In short, what we saw on November 6, 2012 was a breathtaking display of political survival by Barack Obama, the first president to be re-elected with a lower number of Electoral College votes and popular vote. What we also witnessed was the final step in the fundamental transformation of America that Barack Obama promised four years ago.

Member SIPC. Obama wins the way his campaign predicted CHICAGO (AP) — In the end, President Barack Obama won re-election exactly the way his campaign had predicted: running up big margins with women and minorities, mobilizing a sophisticated registration and get-out-the-vote operation, and focusing narrowly on the battleground states that would determine the election. It wasn’t always exciting, and it was hardly transformational. But it worked. “The Obama campaign laid out its plan, told everyone what they were doing and executed,” said Anita Dunn, a former Obama White House official who advised the campaign through the fall. “No one should be surprised.” Still, there were detours along the way, most notably Obama’s dismal performance in the first debate, which breathed new life into Republican challenger Mitt Romney’s campaign. The deadly attack on a U.S. Consulate in Benghazi, Libya, thrust foreign policy into the spotlight and exposed Obama to a flurry of GOP criticism of his leadership. And Superstorm Sandy upended the campaign in its closing days, though the political impact appears to have been positive for Obama, who got a high-profile opportunity to show voters his presidential leadership Even as national polls suggested an exceedingly close race, Obama’s advisers insisted they had the edge in the nine competitive states. By Wednesday, Obama had won seven of them, with Florida still too close to call. Exit polls also backed up the Democratic team’s assertions that the coalition of young people and minorities who supported Obama in 2008 would still vote in big numbers this time around. Black voters made up 13 percent of the electorate, just as they did in 2008, and Hispanics increased from 9 percent to 10 percent. Obama won more than 70 percent of Hispanics and more than 90 percent of blacks, according to exit polls. He also maintained his advantage with women, defeating Romney by 11 points among female voters. While the demographics looked the same, Obama aides knew from that start that this would have to be a different kind of campaign than his insurgent, optimistic race four years ago. The public’s frustration with the sluggish economy and high unemployment made Obama vulnerable. And the deeply partisan bickering that consumed much of his presidency made it impossible to run again on a promise to change Washington — or to claim that those efforts had succeeded in his first term.

The RedStorm (1-0) built a 19-point lead in the early minutes of the second half, but the Cougars (0-1) used a 13-2 run of their own to draw within 50-42 following a Stephanie Imes free throw with 10:51 remaining in the contest. Morrison-Fountain had a pair of field goals and was 4-for-5 at the free throw line in the RedStorm’s scoring spurt over the next five minutes, which built the lead back to 19 points, 64-45, with 5:56 left to play. Mount Vernon Nazarene got no closer than 15 points the rest of the way and Rio enjoyed its biggest lead of the night, 67-46, following a three-pointer by freshman forward Sarah Bonar with 4:37 remaining. Bonar finished with 17 points in her collegiate debut, while fellow freshman forward Julia Heaberlin (Ashland, KY) added 12 points off the bench in the winning effort. “The bottom line was that we got a ‘W’,” said Rio Grande head coach David Smalley. “I thought, at times, we did some nice things. At other times…ugh. That’s going to happen, though, when you’re playing as many freshmen as we have.” Rio Grande trailed 14-11 with 14:20 left in the first half before reeling off 10 straight points to take a 21-14 advantage following a jumper by junior guard/forward Kate Hammond with 9:58 remaining before the intermission. MVNU, a former rival of Rio Grande’s during the days when both schools were members of the America Mideast Conference, drew to within 29-25 after a bucket by Camaranne Myles with 4:45 left before half, but Cougars went scoreless the rest of the way as the RedStorm closed the half on an 8-0 run to build a 12-point halftime lead. That advantage grew to 19, 48- 29, following a trio of free throws by Morrison-Fountain with 16:41 to play in the game and set the stage for the run by MVNU that made things interesting midway through the final stanza. Rio Grande connected on 51.9 percent of shots overall (28-for54), including nine three-pointers. The RedStorm did commit 23 turnovers and was outrebounded 33-24, but forced 29 MVNU turnovers - including 18 via Rio steals to offset their own miscues and the rebounding deficit. Morrison-Fountain also had a game-high six steals, while Bonar finished with five of her own. Freshman guard Nichole Mabry handed out a game-high four assists and sophomore forward Tinesha Taylor had five rebounds in the win. “It was a good team effort,” Smalley said. “Shardai hit some big shots when we needed them, I was impressed with Sarah and our other freshmen in the minutes they gave us and we played pretty well defensively. We still have a lot to work on, but it’s always nice to win the first one.” Melissa Eickholt had 15 points to pace the Cougars, who shot 44.7 percent for the game (21-for-47). Courtney Swart and Rachel Peelman had five rebounds each in a losing cause. Rio Grande will return to action on Friday, at 6 p.m., hosting MiamiMiddletown in the opening round of the Bevo Francis Tournament.

Wahama, Bison meet in playoffs for 1st time POINT PLEASANT, W.Va. — A rematch of epic proportions is on the agenda for 7:30 p.m. Friday evening at Point Pleasant High School when third rated Wahama squares off for the second week in a row with 14th ranked Buffalo in the opening round of the West Virginia high school Class A playoffs. Although the two gridiron opponents frequent the Class A postseason regularly this will be the firstever playoff encounter between the three-sport rivals. Wahama and Buffalo engaged in an important regular season finale encounter just one week ago at Bachtel Stadium in Mason with Wahama coming away with a surprising 41-13 triumph. Both teams had already secured a playoff berth going into that outing but the post-season contest this week elevates the stakes to an extremely higher level. This time around the consequences are significantly greater with the winner advancing to a second round contest against the winner of Greenbrier West/Meadow Bridge while the loser Wahama senior Zach Wamsley (34) breaks away from a Buffalo defender during this Week 10 non-conference matchup at Bachtel Stadium in Mason, W.Va. acquires an early start on the 2012-13 basketball season. The second chance, instant replay, opportunity against the White Falcons was presented to Buffalo on Saturday night when Tug Valley pulled off a mild upset win over Class AA ranked Clay County. That stunning victory by the Panthers not only vaulted Tug Valley into the playoffs but also landed Buffalo into the 14th position among Class A schools and a second chance date with Wahama in the postseason. Coach Ed Cromley’s third-ranked White Falcons will carry an unbeaten 10-0 regular season record and a third consecutive Tri-Valley Conference Hocking Division title into the opening round playoff matchup. Despite coming away with what appeared to be an easy 28 point win over the Bison a week nothing could be further from the truth. Only three total offensive yards separated the two teams in that contest with turnovers and penalties hampering the Bison’s’ cause. The major benefits coming from that game for the White Falcons were the opportunity to host a first round playoff outing See PLAYOFFS ‌| 8 URG lands 10 on All-MSC team Randy Payton Special to OVP Alex Hawley/file photo Eastern’s Ally Hendrix (20) sets the ball during a match against Southern in Tuppers Plains.

(AP) — Brad Keselowski recognizes how fortunate he is to be racing at NASCAR’s top level, and uses the kind of joke a guy would tell his buddy over a beer as a metaphor for the situation he finds himself in. In Keselowski’s version of the joke, an unemployed man prays every night to win the lottery as a means to end his struggles. As times goes on with no response, he angrily demands an answer only for God to tell him “Try buying a ticket!” “I’m a lottery winner, this I know,” explains Keselowski, “but I’ve bought a ton of tickets.” And that’s how Keselowski has kept his cool so far in this heavyweight title fight with five-time NASCAR champion Jimmie Johnson. The 28-year-old has yet to flinch in the Chase for the Sprint Cup championship, which is down to the final two races and realistically only two drivers. Keselowski opened the Chase with a win at Chicago, surrendered it to Johnson the next week at New Hampshire, grabbed it back the next week at Dover and held it three more weeks through Kansas. Then Johnson snatched it back with a win at Martinsville to take a twopoint lead in the standings, and widened the margin to seven points with a second consecutive victory last weekend at Texas. But Keselowski went down swinging — he was the leader on three restarts in the final 19 laps, only coming up short on the hold-yourbreath, door-banging final dash to the finish with Johnson. But Keselowski’s back is against the wall now headed into Sunday’s race at Phoenix International Raceway, where Johnson is a four-time winner and has a 5.3 average finish. Johnson won the Chase race at Phoenix in his 2007 championship season to shake Hendrick Motorsports teammate Jeff Gordon loose in the title race. Johnson won there again in 2008 and 2009 to turn the season finales into mere formalities, and he finished third in 2010 to climb off the ropes and rally the next week to stop Denny Hamlin from snapping his streak of five consecutive championships. It’s not Keselowski’s best track, but he doesn’t have much history at Phoenix. Keselowski is in just his third Sprint Cup season with Penske Racing, and Sunday will be his seventh career start at Phoenix. So, sure, his numbers aren’t pretty with only one career top-five finish — but it was this year, when he finished fifth. And he’s adamant he’s not overthinking this, and he won’t fall victim to the nerves or stress or pressure that seemed to rattle Hamlin down the stretch in 2010 or Carl Edwards on the final weekend of last year’s battle with Tony Stewart. Keselowski said this week he’s had enough highs and lows in life to be able to keep this ride in perspective, and racing for a championship can never compare to the pressure he felt watching his family shut down its decades-old race team two races into the 2006 season. His family had backed him for the 2005 Truck Series season, but pulled the plug after two races in 2006. “Being a part of my family’s business and watching it fail is as low as it gets,” he said. “Watching them have to sell all their assets and not even be able to get to the racetrack, that is as low as it gets right there. To think that I was a part of my family going bankrupt to try to pursue your own dream is a moment where you feel so selfish and incredibly low as a human being that you don’t even know how you’re ever going to recover from that.” He benefited from a break here and there along the way, picking up four more Truck Series starts that season and seven Nationwide starts. Keselowski got three Truck Series starts in 2007 — one of them came at the recommendation of veterans as a last-minute replacement for suspended Ted Musgrave — and was in a crummy Nationwide deal when Dale Earnhardt Jr. grabbed him from obscurity 20 races into the season for the JR Motorsports ride that finally put Keselowski on the path to where he is today. He said he looks at Joey Logano, who was in the Cup Series at 18, and Ryan Blaney, the 18-year-old who in September became the youngest winner in Truck Series history, and wonders what he could have accomplished if he had received the same breaks they had at such an early age. “I think about them and they’re almost as good as I am if not better right now,” Keselowski said. “I think, ‘I wish I had those opportunities when I was their age.’ And then I stop and go, ‘Hell no’ because all the failures that I had from age 16-to-24 shaped who I am and have prepared me for this moment right here. “The good Lord willing that we get through Phoenix and we’re in position to win the championship, I am going to show up at that racetrack mentally prepared because I’ve been through moments that were far more stressful than that and far more challenging for me personally. It’s because of those moments that I’m prepared for these opportunities. There’s a bunch of them that they just add up to where they’re both funny and sad. They’re part of who I am and part of what has made me appreciate what I have.” Meyer gauges how his former teams handled bye week really spend a lot of time on that, I put (practice records of past teams) all around on my desk and just try to reflect upon what kind of a team that was and what I would have done differently. Absolutely, there’s always times where you say I wish I would have done this a little bit better.” Ohio State, without Meyer, is 13-9 in games following bye weeks since 1971. PLAYING FOR SOMETHING: Perhaps the most intriguing Big Ten game this Saturday involves Indiana. Yep, you read that cor- rectly. Long a doormat and not in contention for more than four decades, the Hoosiers (4-5, 2-3) actually have something for which to play when they host Wisconsin (6-3, 3-2). At stake is the inside track to the Leaders Division title and a trip to the Big Ten championship game. And it’s not far-fetched at all for the Hoosiers to win. Amazingly, they haven’t won an outright Big Ten title since 1945, haven’t played in a Rose Bowl since 1967 and were 1-11 just a year ago and ran the table, going 0-8, in conference play. Just three weeks ago they were 0-3 in the league and headed to another, well, Indiana-type season. Since then, they’ve won at Illinois 31-17 and at home last week 24-21 over Iowa. Suddenly, they’re contenders in a season in which the top two teams in the division (Ohio State, Penn State) aren’t eligible to play in the Big Ten title game because of NCAA sanctions. “The kids are showing some resiliency,” secondyear coach Kevin Wilson said. “I think we’re figuring out that we don’t have to play perfect and we don’t have to hope for things to happen, we make it happen.” If the Hoosiers were to win the game, they would win a tiebreaker with Wisconsin going into games at Penn State and at Purdue to close out the regular season. Wisconsin plays Ohio State on Nov. 17 and at Penn State the week after. Win out, and the Hoosiers would be in the Big Ten title game. “We’ll look forward to having a good week and to seeing where it stacks up Saturday at 12,” Wilson said. WON’T GO THERE: QB Braxton Miller was asked this week if Ohio State miscalculated by not offering to take a bowl ban after the 2011 season, possibly saving this year’s team from staying at home. He wasn’t jumping into that alligator pit. “Things just happened and we’ve got to take a step. Throughout the whole season, coach Meyer and the boys and the team, we just wanted to win out the season, just let the seniors go out with a good season,” he said. “Bad things happened last year so we’re just going to fix it and make sure we do the right things this year.” URG women’s soccer places 6 on Academic All-MSC team Randy Payton Special to OVP LOUISVILLE, Ky. — The University of Rio Grande landed six players on the Academic All-MidSouth Conference women’s soccer team announced by league officials on Tuesday. Fifty-nine student-athletes representing each of the 10 MSC schools with women’s soccer programs received the honor. Representing Rio Grande on the list were senior defenders Katie Fuller (Hamilton, OH) and Venessa Montgomery (Chillicothe, OH), junior forward Alex Davis (Ashville, OH), sophomore midfielder Renee Davis (Amsterdam, OH), sophomore goal keeper Allison Keeney (Cincinnati, OH) and sophomore forward Karla Garn (Morrow, OH). Renee Davis, an Allied Health major, has a grade point average of 3.84; Garn, an Intervention Specialist major, carries a 3.73 grade point average; Alex Davis, an Early Childhood Education major, has a GPA of 3.55; Montgomery and Fuller, also an Early Childhood Education majors, sport 3.32 grade averages; and Keeney has 3.31 GPA as a Sports & Exercise major. In order to be nominated by an institution, a student-athlete must maintain a minimum grade point average of 3.25 on a 4.0 scale and must have achieved at least sophomore academic status. Lindsey Wilson College produced the most women’s soccer academic honorees from one school, with nine Blue Raiders earning the award.

I try to relate this team to maybe a previous team and I’ll look closely at how we coached them that week as far as practice time and times off. Then that’s how I come up with what we do.” The Buckeyes are practicing three days this week, then will get the weekend off before reporting for a regular work week on Sunday. Meyer concedes there are times when his teams have not done well after a week off. “Oh, sure. There’s always that hindsight that you wish you would have (done better),” he said. “I 60369503 COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — What’s brewing with the 2012 Ohio State Buckeyes … BUCKEYES BUZZ: It’s only through trial and error that Ohio State coach Urban Meyer has gotten a handle on bye weeks. His Buckeyes don’t have a game this Saturday before embarking on stiff tests at Wisconsin and at home against Michigan. Meyer has tailored his approach to bye weeks through the years. “Certainly (you fit it) to the personality of our team,” he said. “We’ll look at the past teams and then reflect upon it because it’s � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
