Patterson, M.D., 77 THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 15, 2012 Vol. 62, No. 211 50 cents daily Schools participate in meth awareness training Sarah Hawley shawley@heartlandpublications.com POMEROY — The Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigation (BCI), a department of the Ohio Attorney General’s Office, in collaboration with the Meigs County Family and Children First Council recently provided a free methamphetamine awareness training for over 50 representatives of agencies, organizations, schools, businesses and community groups. Special Agent Scott Duff, who leads the BCI Methamphetamine Unit in Ohio, provided the training, with BCI Special Agent Jon Jenkins, providing an overview of trending drug activities. The goal of the training was to provide an awareness of the problem that is occurring within the county, what to be aware of when agency representatives are working with families, and who to contact if a situation arises, according to the Family and Children First Council. Meigs County Juvenile Judge Scott Powell said the training helps those in the community to know what to look for and what to do it they find something suspicious. He added that training those who are in homes or in the educational field is important as they see the signs of drug problems in their line of work. Duff stated that the training is designed to provide first responders and those at the awareness level with visuals and information about the manufacture of methamphetamine. Duff added that training was done with some police and fire departments in the area before the drug became the problem that it is currently. During the training, Duff encouraged those who see something that could potentially be a meth lab to report it to the sheriff so that proper handling can take place. The Meigs County Fam- ily and Children First Council hosted the event to allow agencies, organizations, businesses and community groups to be educated on current meth and other drug trends in our county. The training allows the community to better protect families, children, and employees from drug-related exposures, and it works to prevent the problem from continuing. Agencies, organizations, businesses and community groups that were involved in the training included the Meigs County Family and Children First Council, the Meigs County Health Department, See TRAINING ‌| 5 Sarah Hawley | Daily Sentinel Special Agent Scott Duff from Ohio BCI spoke to the approximately 50 people in attendance about the dangers of meth labs and ways to recognize them.

Members gathered at the Rock Springs Church and filled over 225 boxes with items donated by members to be sent to children in foreign countries. Among those taking part were from the left around the table, Karen Clark, Sally Hanstine, Susie Abbott, Virginia Wears, Alva Clark, Beth Clark and Reta Ord. Giving for Operation Christmas Child Charlene Hoeflich choeflich@mydailysentinel.com POMEROY — This year for the first time, the Rock Springs Charge — which consists of the Chester, Flatwoods, and Rock Springs churches — participated in Operation Christmas Child, packing over 225 boxes filled with gifts to go to deprived children in foreign countries. The program, organized in 1993, is a project of Samaritan’s Purse of which Franklin Graham is president. It is described as “a way of showing God’s love to hurting children in a tangible way by partnering with churches worldwide to deliver gift-filled shoe boxes with the Good News of Jesus Christ.” Crystal Ratliff, who is the coordinator for 10 counties in southeast Ohio which includes Meigs County, said that participation is growing. “I’m delighted to see small ru- ral churches like these three so enthusiastic about participating in a project of helping children who have so little,” said Ratliff. Colorful boxes, marked for a girl or a boy in a specific age range, to be filled with Christmas items were provided by Operation Christmas Child to the churches. Everything to go into them was donated by members of the three church who had a “packing party” at the Rock Springs Church.

Ask Dr. Brothers Child in play group doesn’t follow directions Dear Dr. Brothers: I’m in a mother-and-child play group. We have mostly 5and 6-year-olds. By this age, the house doesn’t have to be babyproofed or the kids watched every second, but there is one little boy who just can’t seem to listen. If you ask him not to touch things, he just ignores you. If a door is closed, he will open it anyway. You get the picture. How do I deal with this misfit among a great group of kids? — J.R. Dear J.R.: I’m sure it is frustrating to have an after-school co-op where everything works smoothly except for one child whose behavior you find hard to tolerate. As you know, the maturity level and attention span of little kids can fall anywhere on a scale at this age, and you must allow for some issues when you have a group like this to host on a regular basis. In the coming months, why not make it your business to get to know this child and what makes him tick? He may be wandering around aimlessly and pushing boundaries because he is bored, and he sees you as another adult trying to tell him what to do. A child like this may require additional individual attention, and it probably would be helpful if you’d invite the mother to accompany him to the next couple of play sessions at your home. That way, she can help to keep his attention focused, see how he acts with the other children and generally be his helper in navigating these less-structured hours. You will see how the mother handles respect for your property as well as see kids in disciplinary upper grades issues.

At issue are the sale and abuse of synthetic drugs such as bath salts and herbal incense, which can cause users to behave in bizarre and dangerous ways. Lawmakers first made the drugs illegal last year. Current Ohio law bans a particular chemical compound used to make such drugs, said Matt Donahue, a special prosecutor with the Ohio attorney general’s office. “If a police officer stops you with this compound, you’re going to jail just as if you were stopped for having heroin or cocaine,” he said Wednesday. But clandestine chemists are altering the drugs’ chemical makeup in a way that makes prosecuting individuals for possession of such drugs impossible under Ohio law, Donahue said. Those drugs still have the same effect on a person but are now technically legal. A legislative proposal would ban the practice of adding extra compounds to these drugs to skirt the law, Donahue said. Under that bill, “We end this cat-and-mouse game of trying to add different compounds onto different parts of the chemical and we give law enforcement the tools they need to fight this,” Donahue said. Donahue’s boss, Attorney General Mike DeWine, announced a crackdown on synthetic drugs Wednesday, saying he will warn stores about criminal charges and civil lawsuits they could face for any involvement in making or distributing such drugs. In addition, police officers statewide will be trained to help them iden- Pelosi decides to run again for House leader post WASHINGTON (AP) — Former House speaker Nancy Pelosi said Wednesday she will run to keep her job as the Democratic leader in the House after a pair of elections that kept the party in the minority there even as Democrats gained seats in the Senate and a second term for President Barack Obama. “My colleagues made it very clear: ‘Don’t even think of leaving,’ ” she recalled at a news conference, surrounded by women lawmakers. “I have made a decision to submit my name to my colleagues to once again serve as the House Democratic leader.” Republicans reacted with derision. “There is no better person to preside over the most liberal House Democratic caucus in history than the woman who is solely responsible for relegating it to a prolonged minority status,” said Paul Lindsay, spokesman for the National Republican Campaign Committee. “This decision signals that House Democrats have absolutely no interest in regaining the trust and confidence of the American people who took the speaker’s gavel away from Nancy Pelosi in the first place,” he said. The announcement was one of several throughout the day that would give more clarity to the leadership and direction of the next Congress, led by majority Republicans in the House and Democrats in the Senate. Voters in last week’s elections gave Obama a second term, added two seats to the Senate Democratic majority and as many as eight to Pelosi’s caucus in the House. As in the House, the Senate retains its top leaders: Nevada Democrat Harry Reid and Kentucky Republican Mitch McConnell. Republicans elected Texas Sen. John Cornyn the votewrangling whip, South Dakota Sen. John Thune the GOP conference chairman, Wyoming Sen. John Barrasso policy committee chairman and Kansas Sen. Jerry Moran chairman of the National Republican Senatorial Committee, the party’s campaign arm. Majority Democrats reelected the much the same leadership slate: Illinois Sen. Dick Durbin remains whip, New York Sen. Chuck Schumer of New York remains policy committee chairman. But Washington Sen. Patty Murray will serve as secretary, leaving open the chairmanship of the Democrats’ campaign committee. Colorado Sen. Michael Bennet was said by Democratic officials to be a leading contender for that spot. Another question answered about the makeup of the next Congress: Newly-elected Sen. Angus King, Maine Independent, announced that he will caucus with Democrats next year. House Republican Leadership elections were set for later Wednesday. Pelosi put off her caucus’ leadership elections off until after Thanksgiving. Pelosi, 72, has represented a San Francisco area district in the House for a quarter century, including a stint as the first woman in history to serve as speaker. The tea partyfueled political wave of 2010 forced the gavel from her hand to Ohio Republican Rep. John Boehner’s. Holding a news conference Wednesday morning, Pelosi said “we’re very, very proud” of how large a role women played in the Nov. 6 election. “We don’t have the gavel” of majority status in the House, she said, “but we have unity.” “Being actively involved in politics at this level is really insatiable,” Pelosi told reporters. “There’s so much more I want to do, I don’t know how to get any more hours in the day. You can only sleep so less.” Pelosi was a major force behind the passage of Obama’s health care overhaul and the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act. Even after the 2010 elections, when her party lost 63 seats, Pelosi was reelected Democratic leader by her caucus. Pelosi’s colleagues had said for days that the top leadership post was hers if she wanted it in the next Congress that begins in January. She refused to reveal her plans for a week tify and handle synthetic drug cases. DeWine likened individuals who package and sell synthetic drugs to cigarette makers’ past efforts to use cartoon figures to market cigarettes to young people. “These people are vicious marketers who are killing people, and they’re just bringing about horrible tragedies, and we’re not going to put up with it,” DeWine said.

You’re not alone. Nearly 24 million people are expected to fly during the 12 days surrounding Thanksgiving, up slightly from last year. Many will be separated from their loved ones. Airlines are making it much more difficult for groups of travelers to sit together — unless they want to pay extra for seats with more legroom or those near the front of the plane. Since last Thanksgiving, American Airlines, Delta, Frontier and United have increased the number of coach seats requiring an extra fee. That means it’s much more difficult to find adjacent seats unless passengers pay an extra $25 per person, each way. But don’t fret. There are still a few things fliers can do between now and takeoff to snag seats together: • Confirm your seat assignments online with the airline now. Sometimes plane types are switched between booking and departure, meaning there’s a whole new seat layout. And if you booked through Expedia, Orbitz, Travelocity or other third-parties, your assignment might not have been recorded correctly with the airline. • Set up alerts for seat openings. ExpertFlyer.com offers free notifications when a window or aisle seat becomes vacant. For 99 cents, it sends an email if two adjacent seats become available. • Check the airline’s website five days before the trip. That’s when some elite fliers are upgraded to first class, freeing up their coach seats. Another wave of upgrades occurs every 24 to 48 hours. • Check in 24 hours in advance when airlines start releasing more seats. If connecting, see if seats have opened up 24 hours before the second flight departs. • Keep looking for new seats. Even after checking in, seats can be changed at airport kiosks and on some airlines’ mobile applications. • Ask at check-in. Agents can sometimes put families in seats held just prior to departure for disabled passengers. • Ask again. Gate agents and flight attendants can sometimes seek volunteers to swap seats. • If flying Southwest Airlines set an alarm for exactly 24 hours before departure and check in online. The airline lets passengers pick their own seat at boarding. The earlier you check-in, the quicker you board the plane. • If all else fails, offer nearby passengers candy or a drink to switch seats. Seriously, bartering works. Texas inmate who admitted rapes seeks compensation Nomaan Merchant The Associated Press DALLAS — When Michael Blair was sent to death row for the infamous murder of a 7-year-old Texas girl, he insisted he never killed anyone. More than a decade later, genetic testing showed he was telling the truth. But during those long years behind bars, Blair did something else that ensured he would never leave prison: He confessed to raping two other children — a crime for which he’s serving multiple life sentences. Blair hasn’t forgotten the murder case, and now he’s made an unlikely demand, asking the state for nearly $1 million as compensation for being wrongfully convicted. His request has gone all the way to the Texas Supreme Court and is forcing a re-examination of laws designed to offer exonerated inmates a new start. “He doesn’t deserve a nickel of it,” said Cory Session, whose brother, Tim Cole, was wrongfully imprisoned and had his name attached to the Texas law. Blair “didn’t deserve to be on death row for that crime, and we’ve proven that,” Session said. “But he also doesn’t deserve to receive compensation under the Tim Cole Act. He will soil my brother’s name and memory.” The state comptroller has repeatedly denied Blair’s claim, which a state attorney recently called “absurd.” But if the court rules in his favor, the comptroller could be required to pay him $80,000 for each year he was locked up for the murder. Blair’s story began with the death of Ashley Estell, who disappeared from a soccer game in 1993 in suburban Dallas. A day later, she was found strangled by a roadside, and Blair was lurking around the scene. He had been previously convicted of indecency with a child. Detectives found a stuffed rabbit toy, a knife and several samples of hair in Blair’s car. A forensic expert testified that hair from the car had a “strong association” with the young girl, according to the national Innocence Project. A jury took just 27 minutes to convict Blair. Lawmakers then passed “Ashley’s Laws,” which toughened restrictions on sex offenders. While Blair was on death row, his attorneys pressed for new DNA testing. Blair asserted in media interviews and letters that he didn’t kill Ashley. He said he was a rapist but not a murderer. And he said he had committed several sexual assaults that never resulted in charges. After almost a decade, Blair made the same confession in a letter to the Collin County district attorney, admitting he had raped children in neighboring Dallas before the murder occurred, according to attorneys who reviewed the letter. It was not available in Dallas County court files. In 2003, the Dallas County district attorney used the letter to charge Blair with four counts of aggravated sexual assault of a child. Blair pleaded guilty the following year and received three consecutive life sentences without any promise that his death sentence would be overturned. Four years later, new DNA testing had excluded Blair in Ashley’s slaying, and he was removed from death row. Instead of walking free as more than 100 exonerated people in Texas have done, Blair was moved to another prison unit to serve his life sentences. Though he has almost no chance of leaving prison, his attorney, Roy Greenwood, said Blair could still use the money, particularly for medical fees charged by the prison system. “He spent 10 years in prison for a crime he didn’t commit,” Greenwood said. “Why he pled guilty to these cases, I have no clue. We knew they were investigating him. But we had no idea.” Like many of the nearly 30 states that compensate inmates, Texas denies compensation to anyone who is serving time for multiple crimes at once and has one conviction overturned. It also denies annual payments beyond the initial lump sum and other benefits to exonerated inmates who then commit another crime. But Greenwood argued last month before the state Supreme Court that the law doesn’t specifically exclude someone like Blair, who was imprisoned on a wrongful conviction, then confessed to other crimes and had the first conviction thrown out. Assistant Solicitor General Philip Lionberger argued that lawmakers intended the payments to help exonerated inmates re-establish their lives, not make a guilty convict “more comfortable while he spends his life in prison.” Asked by one justice why the state didn’t just ban anyone in prison from getting money, Lionberger said lawmakers never imagined a case like Blair’s. “I don’t think it ever occurred to the Legislature that we need to expressly spell this out,” Lionberger said. “But I believe that the legislative intent is in the act, that a person like Mr. Blair is not entitled to the compensation.” letters to the editor Reader: Why does doctor need to know if I’m armed? Dear Editor, I went to the doctor today and was asked to fill out a new form. On one of the items you were supposed to circle all that applied about what was in your house. I was surprised to find “firearms” and “firearms (loaded/unloaded).” What was that all about? I could understand it if I were in a psychiatrist’s office or I was suicidal. Could this be a sneaky way for the government to find out who has guns and if they are loaded? You might want to think twice before answering this type of question. Connie Gibbs, Letart, W.Va.

So are the owners, who were stopped in mid-process of landscaping the yard. After purchasing the property in 2003, the city took the shrubs out that encircled the property from the sidewalk, which left big holes and mounds of dirt and roots. It’s been really difficult to mow and pick up debris since then. The property was very uneven everywhere. After learning that their property was in the Historic Preservation Council’s “zone,” nine years after buying it, he stopped and got permission for the little building he was adding to the yard. His application did include extending the parking lot. He had a company come in to de-sod and level out the property. When it was almost finished, the city inspector came with the police and a cease and desist order, and under threat of arrest, he stopped. I couldn’t find applications or permission granted for several of the bigger projects that’s been done to the properties that persons on the board own. I also find it unusual that past and present members of this council, together, own a lot of these properties in “the zone.” These properties are mostly Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

These council members need to be held to the same standards that they are forcing on other property owners.

I also found several past members also received grant monies from the council they held seats on, for the facelifts on their own homes.

Obama withholding judgment on Petraeus process WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama said Wednesday he’s withholding judgment about the handling of a federal investigation that cost the CIA director his job, but he’s seen no evidence “at this point” that national security was damaged by the widening sex scandal. “I have a lot of confidence generally in the FBI,” Obama said, offering only qualified words of support for the agency. But the president added that if the FBI had given the White House an earlier heads-up about the inquiry into possible national security violations, he might now be facing questions about why he’d interfered in a criminal investigation. The inquiry that led to CIA Director David Petraeus’ resignation began last summer, but the White House didn’t learn about it until the day after the election. Two days later, on Friday, Petraeus resigned after acknowledging he’d had an affair with his biographer, Paula Broadwell. As Obama spoke about the scandal from the White House, legislators on Capitol Hill were grilling FBI and CIA officials about the same issues: whether national security was jeopardized and why they didn’t know about the investigation sooner. FBI Director Robert Mueller and deputy FBI Director Sean Joyce met first with Senate Intelligence Committee Chairwoman Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., and ranking Republican Saxby Chambliss of Georgia, then crossed the Capitol to meet with the House Intelligence Committee. Acting CIA Director Michael Morell went before the House panel next, after meeting Tuesday with top Senate intelligence officials to explain the CIA’s take on events that led to Petraeus’ resignation. Lawmakers are especially concerned over reports that Broadwell had classified information on her laptop, though FBI investigators say they concluded there was no security breach. Obama, for his part, said he had “no evidence at this point from what I’ve seen that classified information was disclosed that in any way would have had a negative impact on our national security.” U.S. officials say Broadwell sent harassing, anonymous emails to a woman she apparently saw as a rival for Petraeus’ affections. That woman, Jill Kelley, in turn traded sometimes flirtatious messages with Afghan war chief Gen. John Allen, possible evidence of another inappropriate relationship. Officials who have seen the communications between Allen and Kelley describe some of their emails as overly flirtatious and “suggestive,” and say their release would be embarrassing for the general. Word surfaced Wednesday that Kelley’s pass to enter MacDill Air Force Base has been indefinitely suspended, a decision made at the base. Pentagon spokesman Lt. Col. Steven Warren said she can still enter the base but now must report to the visitor center and sign in like anyone else who doesn’t have a pass Kelley’s complaints about threatening emails triggered the FBI investigation that led to the resignation of Petraeus and a probe into communications between her and Allen, the top U.S. commander in Afghanistan. Senate Intelligence Committee Chairwoman Dianne Feinstein was asked by reporters if there was a national security breach with the Petraeus affair and said she had “no evidence that there was at this time.” Feinstein said Wednesday that Petraeus would testify before Congress — but not about the affair. She said he had agreed to appear to talk about the Libya attack on Sept. 11 that killed the U.S. ambassador and three other Americans, but said no date had been set. The Senate Armed Services Committee planned to go ahead with Thursday’s scheduled confirmation hearing on the nomination of Marine Corps Gen. Joseph Dunford, who is to replace Allen as commander of U.S. and NATO forces in Afghanistan, if Allen is indeed promoted. Obama had hoped to use the afternoon news conference, his first since his reelection, to build support for his economic proposals heading into negotiations with lawmakers on the socalled fiscal cliff. But his economic agenda had to share time with questions about the widening sex scandal. Allen has been allowed to stay in his job as commander of the Afghan war and provide a leading voice in White House discussions on how many troops will remain in Afghanistan — and for what purposes — after the U.S.-led combat operation ends in 2014. The White House said the investigation would not delay Allen’s recommendation to Obama on the next phase of the U.S. troop drawdown from Afghanistan, nor would it delay the president’s decision on the matter. Allen’s recommendation is expected before the end of the year. But Obama did put on hold Allen’s nomination to become the next commander of U.S. European Command as well as the NATO supreme allied commander in Europe, at the request of Defense Secretary Leon Panetta, until Pentagon investigators are able to sift through the 20,000-plus pages of documents and emails that involve Allen and Kelley. NATO Secretary-General Anders Fogh Rasmussen said Wednesday that he had “full confidence” in Allen and looked forward to working with him if he is ultimately confirmed. The FBI decided to turn over the Allen information to the military once the bureau recognized it contained no evidence of a federal crime, according to a federal law enforcement official who was not authorized to discuss the matter on the record and demanded anonymity. Adultery, however, is a crime under the Uniform Code of Military Justice.

Tyson Trish | The Record | MCT photo New York Giants Jason Pierre-Paul sacks Pittsburg Steelers Ben Roethlisberger during the second quarter on Sunday, November 4, 2012, at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey. Ben Roethlisberger has rib injury too, out vs. Ravens PITTSBURGH (AP) — Right arm tucked into a black sling, weary eyes betraying a decided lack of sleep, Ben Roethlisberger tried to stay positive after the worst — and by far the most harrowing — injury of his career. The Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback believes he can return this season despite spraining his right shoulder and suffering what he called a dislocated rib in Monday night’s overtime win against Kansas City. He’s just not sure when he’ll be ready. And his medical team appears nowhere close to figuring out how exactly to get him there. “From what (the doctor) said he’s trying to talk to experts because there is no case study over the exact same thing,” Roethlisberger said Wednesday. “We’re just trying to talk to people … because we don’t know.” All Roethlisberger knows for certain is that doctors are concerned the rib — which he injured while getting sacked by a pair of Kansas City linebackers in the third quarter on Monday — could puncture his aorta if jostled around. He also knows he’ll be a spectator indefinitely while the surging Steelers (6-3) try to track down AFC Northleading Baltimore (7-2). The rivals meet twice over the next three weeks, with the first showdown coming Sunday night at Heinz Field. Veteran backup Byron Leftwich will take the snaps in Roethlisberger’s place, looking for his first win as a starter in six years. “I’m not going to go out there and try and be Ben,” Leftwich said. “We see the game differently. He’s physically able to do some things that I can’t do but that doesn’t mean I can’t go out there and do my job.” The Steelers have been forced to play with Roethlisberger occasionally over the last nine seasons, going 8-5 without their franchise cornerstone since 2004. Four of those losses, however, have come against the Ravens. Still, Roethlisberger remains optimistic he’ll be back to work at some point over the next seven weeks. Asked if he thinks the injury is season-ending, the two-time Super Bowl winner shrugged his one good shoulder and attempted to remain upbeat. “I don’t think so, I don’t know though but I’m not a medical expert,” Roethlisberger said. “I just know I’m going to do what I can to get back.” At the moment, doing nothing appears to be the smartest course after his season came to a stunning halt early in the third quarter against the Chiefs. Roethlisberger was stepping up in the pocket trying to extend a third-down play when Kansas City linebacker Justin Houston wrapped up his legs and teammate Tamba Hali drove all of his 265 pounds into Roethlisberger’s chest and slammed him to the turf. The quarterback’s right arm dug into his side at the moment of impact, dislocating the rib and sending a jagged edge perilously close to the aorta. “When I hit the ground is kind of when I felt something not right, like a crunch or a crack,” Roethlisberger said. “It’s kind of hard to explain.” What’s easy to explain is the pain, which Roethlisberger described as “nine on a scale of 1-10.” Most of the misery is coming from the rib and he joked he’ll likely have to hold his son — who is due to arrive sometime in the next See INJURY |‌ 8 Sports Schedule Thursday, Nov. 15 URG Sports Women’s Basketball vs. Cumberland, 6 p.m. Men’s Basketball vs. Cumberland, 8 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 17 Football Wahama vs. Greenbrier West at PPHS, 1:30 URG Sports Women’s Basketball vs. U. of Cumberlands, 2 p.m. Men’s Basketball vs. U. of Cumberlands, 4 p.m. Men’s Soccer at NAIA Tournament, TBA Alex Hawley | file photos Wahama head coach Ed Cromley leads the White Falcons down the sideline during Wahama’s 38-0 victory over Buffalo in Point Pleasant. Cavaliers looking to knock off unbeaten Wahama Gary Clark Special to OVP POINT PLEASANT, W.Va. — Following what seemingly was nothing more than a walk-through shutout victory over Class A nemesis Buffalo Putnam in the opening round of the post-season, Coach Ed Cromley’s third-ranked Wahama White Falcons advance to quarterfinal round action at 1:30 p.m. Saturday at Point Pleasant High School against the visiting sixth-rated Greenbrier West Cavaliers. Wahama will be coming off what is arguably their best outing of the 2012 grid season following its 38-0 whitewash over a talented Buffalo squad and will bring an unblemished 11-0 slate into its first ever confrontation with Greenbrier West.

Sherman, Smith named to All-MSC volleyball team Randy Payton Special to OVP LOUISVILLE, Ky. — University of Rio Grande senior volleyball standouts Erin Sherman and Whitney Smith were among those named to the All-Mid-South Conference team. The announcement came on Thursday night at the league’s annual awards banquet. Sherman, a middle blocker from South Webster, Ohio, leads the league in both hitting percentage (.390) and blocks (108), while ranking 11th in kills (289). Smith, an outside hitter from Albany, Ohio, is second among the MSC leaders in kills (383), fourth in hitting percentage (.340) and 14th in digs (299). Despite finishing third in the final MSC regular season standings, Sherman and Smith were the RedStorm’s only honorees on the 14-player first team and the 14-player honorable mention list. Coaches were not allowed to vote for their own players. Georgetown College’s Rachel Eubanks and coach Nick Griffin, Lindsey Wilson College’s Courtney Doyle and University of the Cumberlands’ Abigail Dundon headlined the list of winners. Eubanks was selected Player of the Year and Griffin was picked by his peers as the MSC Coach of the Year. The duo led Georgetown to a 31-3 regular season and a perfect 15-0 mark in MSC play. The Tigers are the top-seed in this weekend’s conference tournament at the MidAmerican Sports Center in Louisville. Eubanks ranked in the conference’s top-10 in three statistical categories during the season, including fourth in kills per set (3.1) and fifth in kills (347). She was ninth in hitting percentage (.293). Eubanks earned Mid-South Conference Player of the Week twice during the season. Griffin earns his second MSC Coach of the Year award after leading the Tigers to 2012 regular sea- son crown. He was also the 2009 conference coach of the year. Doyle was picked as the Freshman of the Year after helping the Blue Raiders to a 25-12 overall record and a 12-3 conference mark. Doyle was third in the MSC this season in kills (372) and kills per set (3.4). Dundon was selected as the Mid-South Conference Volleyball Champions of Character recipient. She earned the award based on her academic and athletic achievement, campus and community leadership, future ambition and demonstration of five core character values of the NAIA. Joining Sherman, Smith, Eubanks and Doyle on the first team were Georgetown’s Caraline Maher and Allyson Wilbourn; Lindsey Wilson’s Sarah Anderson and Andrea Taylor; Campbellsville’s Rinata Aisena, Laura DeGear and Kelly Moyer; Shawnee State’s Kirsti Yates and Alex Pohl; and Stacey Sebald of the University of the Cumberlands. �Thursday, November 15, 2012 NOTICE TO TAXPAYERS Reference: 5715.17 Ohio Revised Code The Meigs County Board of Revision has completed its work of equalization.

Rogers Basement Waterproofing �Thursday, November 15, 2012 The Daily Sentinel • Page 8 www.mydailysentinel.com Rio’s Schramm recognized by CoSIDA Randy Payton Special to OVP RIO GRANDE — University of Rio Grande sophomore Betsy Schramm has been named to the CoSIDA (College Sports Information Directors Association) Capital One Academic All-District team. Schramm, a native of Marietta, Ohio, made the District 1 College Division first team and advances to the national ballot for All-America consideration. Schramm, a Mid Child Math/ Science major who carries a 3.68 grade point average, is a right-side hitter and middle blocker for the RedStorm. For the season, Schramm has a .232 hitting percentage with 248 kills, 48 digs and 37 blocks. Rio Grande enters tomorrow’s quarterfinal round of the Mid-South Conference Tournament as the No. 3 seed with a 20-9 record overall and an 11-3 mark against league foes. To be nominated, a studentathlete must be a starter or an important reserve on his/her team and carry a cumulative grade point average of at least 3.30 on a 4.0 scale. Nominees also have to have participated in at least 50 percent of his/ her team’s games and must be a student at their current insti- tution for at least one calendar year. The Capital One Academic All-America program is broken into four divisions – NCAA Division I, NCAA Division II, NCAA Division III and College (for NAIA schools, twoyear colleges and Canadian schools). Special teams Meyer not even considering national-title talk latest debacle for West Virginia COLUMBUS (AP) — What’s brewing with the 2012 Ohio State Buckeyes … BUCKEYES BUZZ: Urban Meyer was taken aback this week. That’s not easy to do. On the Big Ten coaches teleconference Meyer was asked if, should Ohio State finish 12-0, it should be considered the national champion. “Oh, no disrespect, sorry,” he began, sounding flustered. Then he regained his equilibrium and responded, “I haven’t given it any thought and we’re not going to have any discussion about that with our players. We are who we are right now. The good thing about the players and the guys that are important to me, and that’s the kids I coach, they know who we are. We have a lot of holes that we’re still trying to patch and put together and become a better team. At some point that might be worth discussion, certainly not now.” FRIENDLY CONFINES: The battle with Ohio State (3:30 p.m. Saturday, ABC) at Camp Randall Stadium will be Wisconsin’s final home game of the season. A lot of people will be watching, and not just because the game pits the sixth-ranked Buckeyes, trying to finish unbeaten, against a team they clearly don’t like which will be representing the Leaders Division in the Big Ten championship game. Wisconsin RB Montee Ball needs just two touchdowns to become the all-time leader in major college football. Ball has 77 career touchdowns, one fewer than FBS record-holder Travis Prentice of Miami (Ohio). “It’s going to be extra special to do it at home — if it happens,” he said. “It’d be ideal to break a record like that on home turf, in front of our fans.” But coach Bret Bielema isn’t as concerned with pleasing the home fans with the record as he is with winning the game. He said he won’t change his game plan or gimmick up a play so Ball can set the mark in front of friends and family. “If he breaks it, it’s going to be in the constant flow of the game,” he said. SERIOUS BUSINESS: Ohio State C Corey Linsley says the Buckeyes will not be looking past Wisconsin to the game a week later at home against rival Michigan. “They’re all tough dudes that we all respect. Nobody’s taking them lightly at all,” he said of the Badgers. “Definitely we respect the heck out of their front seven. We’re going to have to prepare for a tough football game.” SCRUBS TO STARTERS: Nobody from Ohio State is nominated — although five Big Ten players are — for the Burlsworth Trophy. Haven’t heard of it? You’re not alone, even though this is the third year for its existence. It’s given annually to the most outstanding football player in America who began his career as a walk-on. A walk-on is defined as a player who began his first season of participation with a Division I (FBS) football program without financial aid of any kind from his university’s athletic department. Among the 50 nominees this season are Ohio University LB Keith Moore. Others up for the award include a player the Buckeyes will face this weekend, standout Wisconsin WR Jared Abbrederis, along with Penn State QB Matt McGloin and Michigan’s Jordan Kovacs, a Toledo-area native. Ohio State’s Nate Ebner was a nominee a year ago. The award is named after Brandon Burlsworth, who arrived at Arkansas in 1994 in 1994 with “no money, no famous last name, and absolutely no Division I scholarship offers.” Through hard work, he became a team captain and a first-team All-SEC player. Burlsworth was drafted by the Indianapolis Colts with the 63rd pick in the 1999 draft and was projected to start as a rookie after mini-camp. But Burlsworth was killed in a head-on collision just 11 days after the draft. CHARLESTON, W.Va. (AP) — West Virginia coach Dana Holgorsen called them “junior-high mistakes.” Several gaffes on special teams have diverted some attention away from weekly breakdowns on defense during what has become the Mountaineers’ longest losing streak in 11 years. After a 55-34 loss at Oklahoma State, the first thing Holgorsen did was set aside practice time this week to go over special teams basics. His hope is there’s no mass repeat when double-digit underdog West Virginia (5-4, 2-4 Big 12) faces No. 13 Oklahoma (7-2, 5-1) on Saturday night. “What’s sad about the special teams situation is obviously it was embarrassing,” Holgorsen said. “It was embarrassing lsat week and I sat here a week-and-a-half ago after (a loss to TCU) and I thought we played really well on special teams.” Except for the punting of Tyler Bitancurt against Oklahoma State, “everything else was bad,” Holgorsen said. The follies started in the first quarter when Oklahoma State’s Justin Gilbert made a 96-yard kickoff return for a touchdown look simple. In the second quarter, a kickoff bounced off Andrew Buie’s helmet. Oklahoma State recovered at the WVU and eventually kicked a field goal. Returner Tavon Austin signaled for his teammates to stay clear of an Oklahoma State punt early in the third quarter. The punt bounced off Austin, the Cowboys recovered at the West Virginia 12 and scored a touchdown for a 38-24 lead. And in the fourth quarter, West Virginia was down 4134 and poised to pin Oklahoma State deep in its own territory. Nana Kyeremeh and six Mountaineer teammates surrounded a punt inside the 5-yard line. But Kyeremeh didn’t realize he was standing 2 yards deep in the end zone and his teammates couldn’t get to the rolling ball, resulting in a touchback. “It’s all elementary stuff, so we worked on it,” Holgorsen said. “We put them in those positions, and we worked on it. Was it frustrating? Yes. Should we have to work on that? Yes, I guess we did. We kind of took some of that stuff for granted, which I take the responsibility for that.” Injury From Page 6 few weeks — with in his left arm instead of his right. Unless Roethlisberger learns to throw with his left arm too, Pittsburgh’s playoff chances will rest with Leftwich. The former first-round pick hasn’t started a game in three years and hasn’t won one since 2006. He went 7 of 14 for 73 yards in relief against the Chiefs, leading Pittsburgh to a go-ahead score in the fourth quarter. “My first few plays I felt like everybody was moving faster than me,” Leftwich said. “Maybe that is because I’m slower than everybody. When you ain’t out there, let’s just be honest, it just takes awhile to get back.” A full week of practice and the fact he’s spent four of the last five seasons as Roethlisberger’s primary backup means Leftwich isn’t exactly starting from scratch. Early in his career, Leftwich was one of the most promising quarterbacks in the league. Taken with the seventh overall pick by Jacksonville in the 2003 draft, Leftwich led the Jaguars to a playoff berth in 2005 be- fore things fell apart. He lost his starting job to David Garrard a year later then bounced around between Atlanta, Pittsburgh and Tampa Bay before returning to the Steelers for good in 2010. Leftwich missed all but one game in 2010 due to a knee injury and spent all of 2011 on injured reserve after breaking his arm during a preseason game. Yet the Steelers have kept him around because of his close relationship with Roethlisberger and his arm, which remains one of the strongest in the league. Leftwich actually overthrew speedy wide receiver Mike Wallace on a fly pattern against the Chiefs, a rare feat. “We have all the confidence in the world in Byron,” Wallace said. “He’s been in this league a long time, and he’s played a lot of games. We just need to work on some things in practice this week with him at quarterback, and I’m sure we’ll be ready to go by the time the game comes around.” Roethlisberger will be there in Leftwich’s ear offering assistance when necessary, just as Leftwich has done for him through the years. “He can make every throw on the football field,” Roethlisberger said. “He’s going to do just as good if not better.” NOTES: DE Brett Keisel (shoulder), LT Max Starks (ankle), S Troy Polamalu (calf), RT Marcus Gilbert (ankle), WR Antonio Brown (ankle) LB Chris Carter (abdomen) and Roethlisberger did not practice on Wednesday … S Ryan Clark was limited in practice after sustaining a concussion against the Chiefs. Clark will meet with team doctors on Thursday for further evaluation. Cavaliers From Page 6 dents as compared to the White Falcons 283. A frequent participant in the postseason, the Cavaliers have bounced from Class A to Class AA and back to Class A during the past several years but that hasn’t stopped the southeastern West Virginia school from advancing to the playoffs in eight of the past 10 years. As a Class A school Greenbrier West participated in post-season play in 2002, 03, 05, 06 and 07 before making the making the playoff scene in Class AA during the 2010 and 2011 campaigns. The Cavaliers advanced to the semifinal round in Class AA during the 2010 season and posted a 21-3 record while competing at the Class AA level. Greenbrier West is coached by Lewis McClung who is currently in his 11th year at the school. McClung sports a young team this year with only six seniors adorning this year’s roster with six starters back on each side of the football. The Cavaliers will bring a seven-game winning streak into Saturday’s outing against Wahama, with five of their 2012 opponents being Class AA foes and the other five contests being against Class A opponents. Wahama and Green- brier West have had two common foes during the current gridiron season in Buffalo and Fayetteville. Buffalo knocked the Cavaliers from its perch atop the Class A rankings in the fourth game of the regular season by a 29-20 decision. Don’t let that outcome give anyone a false sense of security however as Greenbrier West coughed the football up five times during the game with Buffalo returning an interception 82 yards for a touchdown and 42 yard fumble recovery for a score to benefit the Bison cause considerably. The Cavaliers dealt Fayetteville a 44-21 loss with Wahama beating Fayetteville by a 35-7 margin while handing Buffalo consecutive 41-13 and 38-0 losses. West faced and defeated two Class AA playoff contenders during the 2012 regular season while facing Buffalo and Meadow Bridge as Class A postseason members. Greenbrier West turned back Class AA No. 9 Nicholas County 24-22; Independence 35-14; No. 11 Summers County 42-6; Pikeview 44-0 and Webster County 38-7 while beating Richwood 49-7; Pocahontas County 42-6; Van 4628; Fayetteville 44-21 and No. 11 Meadow Bridge 48-6 in Class A circles. The combined record of the 11 opponents on the Cavaliers current schedule is 48-62 while the combined record of the 11 White Falcon opponents was 41-59. Like Wahama the Cavaliers sport a pair of 1,000yard rushers in speedy junior quarterback Malik Boatwright (5-8 160) and bruising senior running back Tyler Parker (6-0 194). Boatwright has gained over 1,500 yards on the ground this season with Buffalo yielding 231 of those yards to the GWHS star. Boatwright has thrown for another 400 plus yards and 19 touchdowns. Parker, a bruising fullback has been equally impressive on the season with just over 1000 yards rushing and 15 touchdowns. Both Cavalier backfield stars scored three running touchdowns in their playoff win over Meadow Bridge last week with Boatwright also tossing a 50 yard scoring pass to his leading receiver senior Josh Martin (6-6 180). Martin has over 25 receptions and 600 yards on the year while hauling in eight scoring passes. Junior Mike Goodard (6-0 155) is also utilized at quarterback with over 300 yards passing on the season while junior Logan Brown (6-1 166) has tallied over 350 yards rushing. Junior Cory Cox (5-10 160) also figures heavily in the offensive mix for Greenbrier West with six touchdowns on the year. The Cavaliers huge interior line averages over 236 pounds per man and has enabled the Cavaliers to average over 350 rushing yards per game. Senior Zack Johnson (6-3 265) is the interior lines anchor with juniors Austin Yoney (5-11 245), Josh Hamrick (6-0 287) and Chase McClung (6-1 212) and sophomores David Murphy (5-8 188) and Jordan Robinson (6-0 231) rounding out the projected starters alongside Johnson. Wahama will undoubtedly hope to sustain its devastating ground attack against Greenbrier West but if that aspect of the Bend Area team’s offense isn’t productive then veteran quarterback Trenton Gibbs will unleash an air assault that has yet to be utilized to its fullest potential throughout the locals 11 game card this season. In its last two contests, the Mason County eleven has ran for 862 yards on the ground due mainly to the play of its junior dominated interior line. Junior center Zach Killingsworth is expected to get the start at center with junior Wesley Harrison and freshman Jesse Hesson perched at the guard positions. The tackles figure to be junior Weldon Sparks and freshman Clayton Sines with and junior Colton Neal fill- ing the tight end position. The Bend Area team features a pair of 1,000yard ground gainers in junior Kane Roush (1,460) and senior Zach Wamsley (1,070). Roush was selected as the West Virginia Metro News Player of the Week following his 208 yard, four touchdown outing in the Bend Area team’s shutout win over Buffalo. Roush also caught one pass for 29 yards and intercepted a Levi Jordan offering in the first round playoff triumph. Senior Crandal Neal (553) brings another added dimension to the Falcons backfield after overcoming a mid-season injury. Neal missed two games entirely and was used sparingly in a few other contests but has rebounded remarkably with substantial yardage in a limited number of carries. Senior quarterback Trenton Gibbs also has excelled running the football this year with 557 yards on the ground. Through the air Gibbs has connected on 49 of 92 passes for 987 yards and 12 touchdowns with only four of his offerings being picked off. The White Falcons leading receivers include Roush with 16 catches for 256 yards, senior Austin Cole with eight receptions for 208 yards and junior Wyatt Zuspan with 10 grabs for 200 yards. Defensively, Wahama has gotten outstanding performances throughout the season from Wamsley who is without a doubt one of the most productive football players on both sides of the football in the history of Wahama High School. Colton Neal, Wesley Harrison, Crandal Neal and Garrett Miller are also coming off huge outings over the past several weeks and hope to continue that trend this weekend during the quarterfinal round playoff encounter. WHS averages 44 points and 367 rushing yards per game offensively while adding another 92 yards per contest through the airways. The Bend Area team is allowing the opposition 12 points per game on 118 yards rushing and 148 yards through the air. The Greenbrier West offense is scoring 39.2 points per game while averaging 375 yards on the ground and 63 yards per contest passing. Defensively, the Cavaliers are giving up 13.2 ppg to the opposition. Saturday afternoon’s winner moves on to the Class A semifinal round against the Saturday night winner of No. 2 Magnolia and No. 7 East Hardy. Kickoff for the Falcons’ classic Class A quarterfinal round matchup is set for 1:30 p.m. Saturday at Point Pleasant High School. �Thursday, November 15, 2012 The Daily Sentinel • Page 9 www.mydailysentinel.com Thursday, November 15, 2012 ComiCs/EntErtainmEnt BLONDIE Dean Young/Denis Lebrun BEETLE BAILEY FUNKY WINKERBEAN HAGAR THE HORRIBLE HI & LOIS Mort Walker Today’s Answers Tom Batiuk Chris Browne Brian and Greg Walker THE LOCKHORNS MUTTS William Hoest Patrick McDonnell Jacquelene Bigar’s Horoscope zITS THE FAMILY CIRCUS Bil Keane DENNIS THE MENACE Hank Ketchum Jerry Scott and Jim Borgman CONCEPTIS SUDOKU by Dave Green HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Thursday, Nov. 15, 2012: This year emotional extremes mark your year.

If you are attached, take a workshop or go on a trip that you have been talking about. SAGITTARIUS can be provocative.

Tonight: Break down a barrier. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHHHH Deal with a certain someone directly. You might have difficulty understanding what is going on with this person, as he or she believes that you tune him or her out.

Tonight: Choose a favorite way of relaxing. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHHH Your powerful personality emerges because you have so much to handle.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHHH You have so many opportunities falling into your lap that you might not be sure which one you would like to jump on first.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HH The less you disclose, the better off you will be ... even if someone is asking for feedback. This person might not be OK with what you have to say. Strong feelings emerge with someone you look up to. Be willing to discuss whatever you want. Tonight: Play it low-key. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHHHH Zero in on what you want. At the last minute, you might realize that you have alternatives that you had not considered. Allow more lightness to enter your life, and try not to take yourself so seriously. A friend helps you laugh at a situation. Tonight: Where the fun is. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHHH You are on top of your game, and others sense that you are centered. Do only what you want, and don’t sell yourself short. Recognize that others are observing the way you handle various situations. Many of them might follow in your footsteps. Tonight: Could be late.
