Thacker, 36 50 cents daily WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 5, 2012 Vol. 62, No. 222 Gonzalez murder trial pushed to March Beth Sergent bsergent@heartlandpublications.com MASON COUNTY — The trial of the man accused of shooting and killing a Gallipolis Ferry man in 2011 has been pushed from Dec. 11, 2012, to March 19, 2013 in Mason County Circuit Court. Last week, Judge David W. Nibert granted a motion filed by counsel for Steven Lee Adkins, Jr., 26, Apple Grove, to delay his trial. In the motion submitted by Elizabeth T. Sunyog, counsel for Adkins, she stated several reasons for the delay, or con- tinuance, for Nibert to consider. Sunyog wrote the State of West Virginia recently faxed over an additional witness list which added Matthew C. Woods, 25, Gallipolis Ferry, as a witness for the state. Sunyog wrote she needed more time to prepare for Woods whom she described as playing “an intricate role in the alleged conspiracy scheme.” As previously reported, the motion also asked Nibert to consider the continuation based upon counsel being appointed on Sept. 26 — Nibert had previously granted Adkins’ request for new representation on that date. In addition, Sunyog wrote the case involves a “complex indictment” involving conspiracy and first degree murder charges. She also wrote the police report in the state’s discovery packet details 21 CD/DVD electronic media but when Adkins’ file was transferred from previous counsel, only six of these CD/DVD electronic media were included. Contained on this media are statements, photographs and other “critical” evidence, according to Sunyog. Adkins, Woods and Chad W. McCallister, 31, Apple Grove, were all charged in the 2011 murder. McCallister’s trial begins next week on Dec. 11 in Mason County Circuit Court, one day before Woods is sentenced. Earlier this year, Woods accepted a plea agreement and during his plea hearing, said he’d driven Adkins to Gonzalez’s Gallipolis Ferry home. Woods said Adkins exited the car and was out of sight when Woods heard two shots. Woods said Adkins then returned to the car and indicated he’d shot the victim. The state is asking for a minimum sentence of 10 years in prison for Woods. He is to be sentenced at 1 p.m., Dec. 10, 2012, in Mason County Circuit Court for his plea to second degree murder. Council approves Christmas bonuses Staff Report mdsnews@mydailysentinel.com POMEROY — Members of Pomeroy Village Council approved Christmas bonuses for employees during a recent meeting. Council voted 4-0 — with Ruth Spaun abstaining and Vic Young absent — to give full-time employees a $100 bonus, and part-time employees a $50 bonus. The approval comes after a finance committee meeting, which determined that there were funds available for the payout. Council also approved the purchase of three head works for storm drains. The cost is approximately $16,000 and will be completed by Pullins Excavating. Council also approved placing the money from the sale of the old Pomeroy High School into a separate line item in the general fund. A pay voucher from Doll Layman was approved for the Phase II CSO project. Council discussed the possibility of changes to the sewer rate, with Village Administrator Paul Hellman to present an ordinance at a later meeting for discussion. Council went into executive session with Village Solicitor Michael Barr to discuss possible litigation. Present at the meeting were council members Spaun, Jackie Welker, Dru Reed, Robert Payne and Phil Ohlinger, Mayor Mary McAngus, clerk/treasurer Sonya Wolfe, and Hellman.

Charlene Hoeflich choeflich@mydailysentinel.com POMEROY — It was no easy task for the two judges to select the best from the rest when it came to judging the 19 entries in the candy contest hosted Saturday by Peoples Bank. The candy contest was the first of three staged annually by the Pomeroy Merchants Association, one at each of the three banks which provide a first prize cash award of $50 and a second place prize of a gift they select. Winner of the top award in the candy contest was Charlotte Smith of Sumner Road, Pomeroy, with her Homemade Snickers Bars. Taking second place was Kas Seckman of Long Bottom with a nutty fudge. The judges were Nathan Roush and Jeff Brickles. A cookie contest will be held this coming Saturday at the Ohio Valley Bank in the Save-aLot Store on West Main Street. Participants are to take five cookies on a paper plate with their name, address and telephone number on the back and a recipe attached. The entries may be taken to the bank anytime after 9 a.m. on Saturday and judging will take place at noon. Winners will be notified by phone. The third contest is for creative crafts and will be held on Nov. 15 at Farmers Bank.

Staff report mdsnews@mydailysentinel.com COLUMBUS — The state has approved $50,000 through the Ohio Third Frontier for research and development at Ohio University. In an announcement Tuesday, State Rep. Debbie Phillips (D-Albany) said that the funds had been approved in October by the Third Frontier Commission and this final approval by the State of Ohio means that the funding can now be released. The funding will go to Ohio University’s Advanced Catalytic Material and Supercritical Reactor project which will study and validate a cost-effective treatment of waste water produced by shale gas wells. “Finding cost effective ways to treat waste water produced by shale gas wells could provide an important alternative to the use of injection wells for disposal of flowback fluids from the stimulation of wells,” said Phillips. “Ohio University continues to serve as an important partner in the region, and this project is another good example of that partnership.” The funding for this project will provide validation of the waste water treatment process developed at Ohio University. MCCI volunteers promoting healthy eating campaign Charlene Hoeflich choeflich@mydailysentinel.com POMEROY — A new campaign, “PEACHES” — which stands for Promoting Education in Appalachia on Cancer and Healthy Eating Styles — is encouraging healthy eating among Meigs County residents. The campaign is a part of a five-year project funded by the National Institutes of Health and sponsored locally by the Meigs County Cancer Initiative, Inc. (MCCI) and The Ohio State University. “The Meigs County Cancer Initiative, Inc. is pleased to collaborate with the Appalachian Community Cancer Network and local growers from Meigs County to encourage good nutrition as a key to cancer prevention,” said MCCI Chairperson Courtney Midkiff. Well-known farmers in Meigs County, including the families that run Cowdery Farms and Mitch’s Produce and Greenhouse, appear on a billboard and on posters as part of the PEACHES campaign. A billboard is located on U.S. 33 near the Pomeroy corporation line which features Mitch Meadows of Mitch’s Greenhouse in Middleport. Posters have been placed around the county, in the health department, offices, banks, stores and restaurants. The posters share the experiences of local residents who eat fruits and vegetables and provide ideas for everyone else to eat more daily servings. Meadows said that he believes in simple eating that includes lots of fresh fruits and vegetables, and that his eight-acre farm provides much of the food for his family, as well as produce he can sell. A toll-free hotline is available See MCCI ‌| 5 Submitted photo Meigs County Cancer Initiative, Inc., through volunteers, left to right, front, Norma Torres, chairman elect, Rosanna Manley, Carolyn Grueser, secretary, and Jill Johnson, and back, Mary Slawter, Lenora Leifheit, Pam O’Brian, Amy Magorien, Courtney Midkiff, acting chairman, and Linda King, have collaborated with OSU and local growers to encourage good nutrition as a key to cancer prevention. �Wednesday, December 5, 2012 The Daily Sentinel • Page 2 www.mydailysentinel.com Meigs County Community Calendar Wednesday, Dec. 5 HARRISONVILLE — Scipio Township monthly meeting will be held at 7 p.m. at the Harrisonville Fire Department.

Visit us online at www.mydailysentinel.com �Wednesday, December 5 , 2012 The Daily Sentinel • Page 3 www.mydailysentinel.com Woman’s hurt when relatives don’t visit Dear Dr. Brothers: I retired to a college town that has a popular football team, located near a large city. One of the reasons I moved here was so that there would be plenty of things for visiting relatives or friends to do. Now I found out that my brother and his wife have attended several football games and didn’t even let me know, and that my cousin and his wife visited the city for Christmas shopping, also without even calling me. I am very hurt and don’t know how to approach them about this. — J.S. Dear J.S.: It seems you’ve just had a double-whammy. Being slighted not just once but twice by relatives who could have included you must hurt a lot. One of these decisions to leave you out could have been an isolated incident; two can be seen as a trend. It raises the immediate question of whether your relatives even knew that a major part of your decision-making prothe area and going cess about where to to see the game, and retire was based on relet them know that ceiving them for visits. next time you’d love If you never let them to have them drop know that getting toby.

The next ing a high value on getting good time you talk to them, just look grades, but she seems interested to the future: Tell them that you only when we reward her with are happy they enjoyed visiting money. If this makes her study harder or be ready for an exam, is it a bad thing? We’ve been doing it for a while now, but it seems as though a girl in 10th grade should be able to find some selfmotivation to succeed in school. Am I right? — M.F. Dear M.F.: For decades now, parents have wrangled with the question of paying. Even some schools have gotten into the act, much to the dismay of many. The practice certainly is controversial, but even parents who frown upon a systematic use of money for good report cards usually are not above an informal “bribe” or two upon occasion — cars, computer games, trips and other perks often are dangled in front of a student who needs a little more motivation. Your method may have some benefit in her future role as a working individual — one who will likely focus on earning adequate compensa- tion — but she still needs to get through high school and college first. Since you have identified the flaw in your system as robbing your student of her inner motivation to succeed, it may make sense to work on that problem. She has proven that she can get good grades with effort, so now try to shift the focus to her attitude. Let her know that the payas-you-go system is about to end. Explain that she will be rewarded at the end of the school year with something she wants if she takes the initiative to study and excel without input from you. Then substitute praise for cash. The more you can separate money from a test or report card, the easier it will be for your daughter to work on generating her own motivation. (c) 2012 by King Features Syndicate Program to help Ohio schools teach historic texts COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — An educational program unveiled Tuesday by the Ohio Historical Society is meant to help schools comply with a new state law requiring students in grades 4-12 to study the texts of the U.S. and state constitutions, the Declaration of Independence and other historic documents. Proponents of the new law, signed by Gov. John Kasich in March, said it is important for students to study the actual texts, not just summaries and analyses. The Founding of America Documents Program, officially starting in January, will use some of the nonprofit historical society’s existing outreach services to help students and teachers learn more about the documents. Educators will have free access to professional development webinars that will be conducted by history and political science professors in Ohio. Until June 2014, they also won’t have to pay the typical subscription fee to access relevant chapters of an online textbook with lesson plans, videos and activities related to the documents. The access is provided through grant money from the Martha Holden Jennings Foundation, which supports efforts to improve education. Project coordinator Mark Butler said organizers heard that the founding documents requirement was under consideration in the Legislature and began considering how they might leverage the historical society’s position to the advantage of students. “What are those strategies that we have for reaching students in the state, and how can we use them as a good avenue to connect the classrooms to the founding documents?” Butler said. Distance-learning programs and field trips focused on the founding documents will be available at the regular prices, the historical society said. The “History-toGo” van program, intended to bring historical information directly to schools, also is getting a founding documents component. Fighting surges around Syrian capital of Damascus BEIRUT (AP) — Syria’s civil war is closing in on President Bashar Assad’s seat of power in Damascus with clashes between government forces and rebels flaring around the city Tuesday, raising fears the capital will become the next major battlefield in the 20-month-old conflict. Numerous reports emerged of at least a dozen people killed near the ancient city and elsewhere, and the regime said nine students and a teacher died from rebel mortar fire on a school. The state news agency originally said 30 people had been killed in the attack. While many of the mostly poor, Sunni Muslim suburbs ringing Damascus have long been opposition hotbeds, fighting has intensified in the area in recent weeks as rebels press a battle they hope will finish Assad’s regime. “The push to take Damascus is a real one, and intense pressure to take control of the city is part of a major strategic shift by rebel commanders,” said Mustafa Alani of the Geneva-based Gulf Research Center. “They have realized that without bringing the fight to Damascus, the regime will not collapse.” The increased pressure has raised worries that he or his forces will resort to desperate measures, perhaps striking neighbors Turkey or Israel, or using chemical weapons. NATO foreign ministers approved Turkey’s request for Patriot anti-missile systems to be deployed along its southern border to defend against possible strikes from Syria. “We stand with Turkey in the spirit of strong solidarity,” NATO Secretary-General Anders Fogh Rasmussen told reporters after the meeting in Brussels. “To anyone who would want to attack Turkey, we say, ‘Don’t even think about it!’” Before the meeting, Fogh Rasmussen said he expected any use of chemical weapons to get an “immediate reaction from the international community.” On Monday, President Barack Obama said there would be consequences if Assad made the “tragic mistake” of deploying chemical weapons, and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said he agreed with the U.S. position. “We are of the same opinion, that these weapons should not be used and must not reach terror groups,” Netanyahu said. U.S. intelligence has seen signs that Syria is moving materials inside chemical weapons facilities recently, though it is unsure what the movement means. Still, U.S. officials said the White House and its allies are weighing military options should they decide to secure Syria’s chemical and biological weapons. In July, Foreign Ministry spokesman Jihad Makdissi told a news conference that Syria would only use chemical or biological weapons in case of foreign attack, not against its own people. The ministry then tried to blur the issue, saying it had never acknowledged having such weapons. On Monday, Lebanese security officials said Makdissi had flown from Beirut to London. He has not spoken publicly in weeks and it was unclear whether he had left the government. NATO foreign ministers also met with their Russian counterpart, Sergey Lavrov. The Kremlin has stymied more than a year of international efforts to apply global pressure on the Assad regime, its strongest ally in the Arab world, but officials say it has expressed equal concern about the threat of any chemical weapons. Speaking to reporters, Lavrov said Russia wouldn’t object to the Patriots. “We are not trying to interfere with Turkey’s right” to defend itself, he said. “We are just saying the threat should not be overstated.” Lavrov stressed that Syrian artillery strikes into Turkey were accidental. And he warned that the conflict “is being increasingly militarized.” Rebel groups around Syria have scored victories in recent weeks, overrunning military bases and airports and halting air traffic at the capital’s international airport for days. The government’s response has been harsh, and suburbs to the east and south of Damascus have seen some of the heaviest fighting since July, when rebels seized neighborhoods in the capital itself before being routed by government troops. Death tolls in the area have soared. On Tuesday, reports emerged of at least four killings of at least a dozen people, all of them near Damascus or in Aleppo, Syria’s largest city and a battleground since the summer. Syria’s state news agency SANA said nine students and one teacher were killed when a mortar fired by “terrorists” — the regime’s shorthand for rebels — hit a ninth grade classroom in the Al-Wafideen area. The housing project, about 25 kilometers (15 miles) northeast of central Damascus, houses 25,000 people displaced from the Golan Heights since the 1967 war between Syria and Israel. SANA said earlier that 29 students and one teach- er had been killed before reporting the lower number. The opposition Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said 10 were killed and did not specify who fired the mortar. John got in the game with a wide range of sports, movies and more & saved up to $850!

(AP) — Federal, state and local law enforcement agencies confiscated more than $1.5 billion worth of marijuana this year in Appalachia, a region where widespread unemployment may be enticing some people to grow pot to support their families. Ed Shemelya, head of marijuana eradication in the Appalachian High Intensity Drug Trafficking Area, said aerial spotters guided ground crews to more than 750,000 plants during the 2012 growing season in the mountains of Kentucky, Tennessee and West Virginia. Shemelya said nearly 430,000 of the marijuana plants were found in Kentucky. Preliminary figures showed more than 192,000 plants confiscated in West Virginia and more than 147,000 in Tennessee. The Appalachian region, a haven for moonshiners during Prohibition, has a near-perfect climate for marijuana cultivation, plus remote forests that help growers camouflage their crops.

There were 1.8 million people eager to witness history: the country’s first black president taking the oath of office. Now, as Obama prepares for his second-term kickoff, the capital is pre-occupied with a looming economic crisis, exit from war and a reshuffling in Congress. Ticket demand is lower. Hotels are far from booked. And from Capitol Hill to the White House, the upcoming festivities seem to be barely on anyone’s radar. More muted inaugural celebrations are typical with every second presidential term. But it’s almost as if Obama’s swearing-in, on the Martin Luther King Jr. holiday, is a been-there-done-that afterthought around town. Perhaps Obama is a victim of his own historical significance. Perhaps it’s a sign of how far the nation has come, some 50 years after the March on Washington that drew a multitude of people calling for civil and economic rights for AfricanAmericans. Although inaugural planning and preparations are well under way, Obama’s advisers say they aren’t yet focusing on the swearing-in as they negotiate over the “fiscal cliff” automatic tax increases and budget cuts that will occur in January unless the White House reaches a compromise with Congress. Party planners haven’t made even the most basic of announcements yet, such as who will serve on Obama’s inaugural committee and how they will raise money. No plans are in the works for a star-studded concert like the one four years ago that kicked off the inaugural festivities. The inauguration is thought of so little these days that there was even some confusion around the White House about when it would be held. Some aides said it would be Tuesday, Jan. 22, after the federal holiday observing King’s birthday. In fact, the public cere- mony will be on the holiday, Monday, Jan. 21 — a day set by a joint resolution of Congress months ago, before it was known who would be taking the oath. Obama’s second term automatically begins at noon on Jan. 20 under the 20th Amendment to the Constitution, and he’s planning a private swearingin at the White House. There’s precedent for the two-pronged approach: The public ceremony in the past has been postponed for a day when Jan. 20 fell on a Sunday, such as the second inaugurations for Presidents Ronald Reagan and Dwight Eisenhower. The Joint Congressional Committee on Inaugural Ceremonies, which stages all activities for the day on the Capitol grounds, has set a theme of “Faith in America’s Future” to commemorate the 150th anniversary of the completion of the Capitol Dome during the Civil War. And work has begun on the platform where Obama will deliver his inaugural address. It will be the same design as in 2005 and 2009. It has 1,600 seats for members of Congress, Supreme Court justices, governors, ambassadors representing nations around the world, military leaders and the families of the president and vice president. Beyond that, the planning is at such a preliminary stage that members of the Presidential Inaugural Committee haven’t been officially announced. They include some of the same staffers who worked on Obama’s campaign and his first inauguration. Those involved this year say to expect a similar celebration as 2009, but smaller. Now like then, it will be up to Obama to set the tone for the day, an important moment for him to capture the world’s attention in the midst of a vigorous debate over the country’s economic future, a looming fight over immigration and conflicts across the globe. Congressional offices will distribute roughly 250,000 tickets for people to watch in front of the podium, with members of the public able to attend without tickets down the National Mall.

Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., who oversaw the congressional inaugural committee four years ago, introduced legislation back then trying to prevent scalping of the free tickets online. She said her office received 8,000 requests for tickets the first day after the 2008 election. This time, her spokeswoman said she’s received 8,500 a month later. Last time, the ticketed crowd included scores of celebrities, with Oprah Winfrey, MTV and Nickelodeon holding special broadcasts from the capital city. An inaugural weekend concert at the Lincoln Memorial in 2009 featured appearances by Bruce Springsteen, Bono, Beyonce, Stevie Wonder, Jamie Foxx and Tiger Woods. No such event is planned this time. Questions remain about how the inaugural committee will handle fundraising to put on the parade, balls and other celebratory events. Four years ago, the committee tried to make good on Obama’s campaign promise to change the way business is done in Washington by refusing contributions from corporations, unions, political action committees and lobbyists and by limiting individual donations to $50,000. But some on his team want to lift that selfimposed restriction this year to make fundraising easier at a time when there’s less hype to fuel it. Those who want to attend will find an easier time than those who came four years ago, starting with greater hotel availability. At this time in 2008, 89 percent of rooms in Washington were rented at an average rate of $605 a night, according to Smith Travel Research. At least some desperate travelers resorted to camping outside in the winter cold or trying to find a couch for rent. This time, hundreds of ads on Craig’s List offered space for rent and hotels were still hawking their rooms, albeit at inflated prices with fournight minimums. Lolita C. Baldor Robert Burns The Associated Press WASHINGTON — The debate over how many U.S. troops will remain in Afghanistan after 2014 comes down to risky business. There is a risk that leaving too few troops after 2014 would stop or stall the already slow development of the Afghan army and police, whose competence — and that of the Afghan government as a whole — is crucial to ending the war successfully. On the other hand, keeping too many foreign troops beyond 2014 might only prolong Afghanistan’s dependence upon them, while Western forces absorb even more casualties. Perhaps the greatest risk is that a wrong calculation by the U.S. on troop levels could enable the Taliban and affiliated insurgents to regain lost territory and influence. President Barack Obama has pledged to wind down the 11-year-old war, even as Congress presses for an accelerated withdrawal. The intent, approved by NATO in 2010, is to remove combat forces by the end of 2014 but to continue yet-to-be-defined security assistance. Defense Secretary Leon Panetta has described the broad outlines of a post-2014 plan that amounts to a scaleddown version of what U.S. and NATO forces are already doing: fighting terrorists, training and assisting the Afghan forces, and providing logistical support. Panetta won’t say how many forces would be needed for that set of missions, but analysts estimate as many as 10,000 to 15,000. Military commanders have laid out options for a post-2014 force ranging from about 6,000 to 15,000, and Panetta and other members of Obama’s national security team are debating that issue now, with a decision expected by the end of the year. But the final number for the end of 2014, and how quickly the military gets to that level, depends on how the White House assesses the political and military risks of having too few troops there 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.

Underlying that debate is perhaps the starkest risk — that by pulling out troops too quickly, Obama would become the president who lost the war and enabled another devastating attack on America. There are currently about 66,000 U.S. troops in Afghanistan, and commanders would like to maintain as big a force as possible through most of 2013. But others argue that as support for the war continues to erode in Congress and across America, significant cuts must be made at some point next year. A Pew Research Center poll in early October found that 60 percent of respondents favored removing U.S. troops from Afghanistan as soon as possible, with 35 percent saying they should stay until the country is stable. That’s a nearly complete reversal from a September 2008 Pew Research poll that showed 33 percent wanted troops out as soon as possible and 61 percent said they should stay until the country has stabilized. “You don’t want to keep everything in place and then fall off a cliff at the end of 2014,” former Pentagon policy chief Michele Flournoy said in an interview with The Associated Press. “You want to gradually step down your residual presence so you have confidence in it, and so you’ve had a chance to work through some of the issues and challenges that emerge as we go into the latter stages of transition.” Flournoy, who has been mentioned as a possible defense secretary after Panetta steps down, said the military will likely reduce the force in several steps next year, leaving time between cuts to reposition troops. Any substantial reductions are likely to take place early in the year and again toward the fall, so that the military can maintain a consistent troop strength during the peak fighting season that runs from roughly April to October. “It’s very hard to be repo- sitioning your force as you’re fighting. So they’ll argue for having a plateau during the fighting season and then taking a steeper drawdown,” Flournoy said. The troop totals also depend on several outside factors, including the commitment of NATO partners and the desires of the Afghan government. So far, Obama has revealed little of his thinking about the drawdown. But during an October presidential debate he signaled an inclination for a deep reduction, saying, “There’s no reason why Americans should die when Afghans are perfectly capable of defending their own country.” Panetta’s description this week of the three missions he would like U.S. troops to continue after 2014 suggests a need for a fairly substantial presence. Some experts argue that the U.S. would have to maintain as many as 30,000 troops in order to continue targeting the terror groups that — if left unchallenged — could regain territory and once again become a threat to the U.S. and other Western nations. Military analysts Frederick and Kimberly Kagan lay out a case for keeping such a large counterterrorism force, complete with drones, airstrikes and special operations forces bolstered by enough support troops to provide protection on the bases. Michael O’Hanlon, a fellow at the Brookings Institution in Washington, said that arguments for maintaining a force of 30,000 beyond 2014 are unrealistic in light of other Obama administration priorities. He said it’s important to let the Afghans know that the U.S. will not abandon them, but also noted that how much progress Afghan forces make over the next year will also be an important factor. If they improve, he said, there may be a greater inclination to stick with the mission, but if they don’t, “you could ask yourself why do we waste more time, resources and blood over achieving gains that are probably going to be ephemeral and fleeting anyway.” The Daily Sentinel Ohio Valley Publishing Co. 111 Court Street Pomeroy, Ohio Phone (740) 992-2156 Fax (740) 992-2157 www.mydailysentinel.com Sammy M.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention suggests that adults eat at least five servings of fruits and vegetables a day. The recommended servings depend on a person’s age, gender and amount of physical activity. The suggested servings usually range from five to nine a day. Emphasis of the PEACHES campaign is on increasing the number of county residents who eat the recommended daily servings of fruits and vegetables. Eating the right amount can help improve the health of residents. Information from the Ohio State University Hospital indicates that currently 80 percent of Meigs County residents do not meet this recommendation.

After starting the season with consecutive road wins over South Gallia and River Valley, the third time wasn’t the charm for the Gallia Academy girls basketball team Monday night fol- lowing a 57-44 setback to host Chesapeake in a non-conference matchup in Lawrence County. The visiting Blue Angels (21) stayed close early on, trailing 13-10 after eight minutes of play. The Lady Panthers (2-0), however, answered with a 2011 surge in the second canto, which allowed CHS to establish a 33-21 lead at the intermission. The defensive intensity picked up on both sides during the third period, as Chesapeake gained a small 10-6 edge to take its biggest lead of the night (4327) into the finale. GAHS outscored the hosts 17-14 down the stretch, but never came within three possessions the rest of the way. Micah Curfman led the Blue Angels with a game-high 19 points, followed by Ken- dra Barnes with 14 points and Chelsy Slone with five markers. Hannah Loveday and Halley Barnes respectively rounded out the scoring with four points and two points. GAHS was 16of-32 at the free throw line for 50 percent. Jordan Porter paced Chesapeake with 18 points, nine of which came in the opening quarter. Sydnee Hall was next with 11 points, followed by Kaylee Curry with eight markers and Anna Mayo with seven points. The Lady Panthers were 11-of-25 at the charity stripe for 44 percent. Gallia Academy had all four successful three-pointers in the contest, but CHS had a 2312 total field goal advantage. The hosts were also whistled for four more fouls, a 23-19 overall margin.

The only question was which team? River Valley rallied back from a five-point third quarter deficit with a 25-13 surge down the stretch, allowing the visiting Lady Raiders to secure a 55-48 victory over Meigs in a non-conference matchup at Larry R. Morrison Gymnasium. Both RVHS (1-2) and the host Lady Marauders (0-2) battled through five ties and seven lead changes in the contest, and each squad led by as many as eight points during regulation. In the end, however, the Lady Raiders sank 8-of-13 free throws down the stretch and took the lead for good with 5:15 remaining to gain the seven-point decision. River Valley stormed out to a 9-0 advantage less than four minutes into the first period, then went scoreless over the final 4:17 of the quarter as Meigs mounted a 7-0 run to pull within two after eight minutes of play. The Lady Marauders tied things up at nine with 7:24 left in the first half, but RVHS ended a 5:08 scoring drought just 16 seconds later after Leia Moore made a basket for an 11-9 edge. That field goal sparked a 7-0 run over the next 1:25, giving the guests a 16-9 cushion with 5:43 left in the half. MHS responded with a goal at the 4:55 mark to end a four-and-a-half minute scoring drought, which sparked a 12-4 run that pulled Meigs’ deficit down to a point (22-21) entering the intermission. The Lady Marauders — who also forced a 21-all tie at the 1:32 mark of the second stanza — never led in the first half and had one more turnover than RVHS at the break (7-6). The hosts reeled off four straight points to start the second half, but River Valley answered with a three-pointer from Cady Gilmore to knot things up at 25-all with 5:20 remaining. Meigs, however, countered with an 8-0 surge over the next 3:47 for a 33-25 lead with 1:33 left in the canto. Both squads traded baskets over the next 1:06 for a 35-27 contest, but the guests closed the third out with a small 3-0 run to pull within 35-30. The Lady Raiders went on a 12-7 run over the opening 2:14 of the fourth to pull even at 42 with 5:46 left, then took the lead permanently 31 Meigs sophomore Kelsey Hudson (32) drives past River Valley’s Chelsea Copley (10) during Monday night’s 55-48 RVHS victory in Larry R.

People pick up on your mixed messages. You are better off explaining your internal battle to others, even though they likely will know about it anyway. If you are single, check out someone you meet with care. This person might not be everything he or she portrays him- or herself to be. Take a full year to get to know each other. If you are attached, the two of you will learn to communicate far better, which allows you to open up more. Caring flows between you. VIRGO can be demanding. The Stars Show the Kind of Day You’ll Have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult ARIES (March 21-April 19) HHHH Focus on a project that you must complete. A partner or an associate could act like a taskmaster and frustrate you to no end. Understand your limits here, and tap into your ingenuity. You just might find a way to lighten up the situation. Tonight: To the wee hours. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHHHH Your imagination knows no limits, and it opens you up to a new way of thinking. You could find that a friend wants more, which confuses you on some level, as you have kept romance and friendship separate. Be true to yourself. Tonight: Let the fun begin. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHHH You might decide to call it an early day and head home; on the other hand, some of you will decide to just enjoy a day off. Of all the signs, you have the least amount of tolerance for boredom. Take up a new hobby to invigorate your daily life. Tonight: Make it easy. CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHHH Express yourself in a clear and succinct manner. Realize your limits within a discussion. No matter how creative you get, there are some things that are best left unsaid. Take time for a child or a new friend. Tonight: Catch up on a neighbor’s news. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHHH You no longer can avoid taking a hard look at your budget. You might feel uncomfortable at first, but it is better than not having enough money for the holidays. You’ll come up with some good ideas that could make the next few weeks even more special. Tonight: Buy a gift on the way home. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHHH Confusion surrounds a project, and possibly even a loved one. A misunderstanding might not be all that bad, as perhaps you have not yet heard the whole story. You’ll feel happier when you do. Your creativity surges as a result. Tonight: Whatever makes you smile. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HH Know when you want to pull back. You could be taken aback by the assumptions someone close to you makes. You might not be sure what direction to head in. Do not worry so much. Try to think positively. Tonight: Make an adjustment to your thinking. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHHHH Emphasize others. You understand your own strength and where it comes from. You need less support than many other people do. Meetings could be quite important. Use them for networking. Tonight: Only where people are. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHHHH Carefully rethink a situation involving a boss or higher-up. You could feel quite restricted, as you sense this person’s negativity. The question remains: Is there really negativity here, or are you projecting it onto the situation? Tonight: A force to be dealt with. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHHH Listen to your sixth sense. You know when something is off. You need to honor those feelings, as they could prevent a problem before it happens. Someone at a distance or on a trip could rain on your parade. Tonight: Detach, and you will see more. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHHH A partner whispers in your ear and has a lot to share. You listen, though you might want more information. A boss or an older friend could be challenging. Though you get feedback, your sixth sense tells you something different. Follow your instincts. Tonight: Be a team player. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHHHH Think carefully about what is being proposed. The problem lies in how much is being thrown on your plate. Not one person approaches you to help, either. You have to choose with whom and on what project you want to be involved. Tonight: Join friends.

The Browns have gotten better and so has Shurmur. He has been harshly criticized by some Cleveland fans for his game management and play calling, and there’s a chance he won’t be around for a third year once new owner Jimmy Haslam and CEO Joe Banner finish their postseason assessment. Shurmur won’t predict what’s ahead. “I don’t want to talk about my future, OK?” he said. “I’m trying to make this the best Monday of the year, and I’m trying to get our team ready to play the Chiefs and BEREA, Ohio (AP) — Browns coach Pat Shurmur has already developed thick skin. Now, he’s bulking up his record. With two straight wins, the Browns are showing major signs of improvement in their second season under Shurmur, whose future in Cleveland could hinge on how his team plays in its final four games — if it hasn’t been determined already. On Sunday, the Browns (4-8) snapped a 12-game road losing streak with a 20-17 win over Oakland, putting the Raiders away with a clutch, 94-yard touchdown drive in the fourth quarter, then after that and so on and so forth. I don’t look at it that way. I’m not taking any halfswings here. We’ll just play it out and see what happens.” There’s no denying that the Browns, with 17 rookies on their roster, are growing up. They’ve been competitive since Week 1, but in back-toback wins over Pittsburgh and Oakland, they’ve finally shown the ability to finish games. It’s an important step in the development for any team, even more so for one starting a rookie quarKaren Schiely | MCT photo terback, running back, wide Cleveland Browns tight end Alex Smith and head coach Pat Shurmur look up at a replay of a receiver, right tackle — and controversial run back call during the third quarter against the Philadelphia Eagles at Clevewith a coach under fire. land Browns Stadium on Sept. 9 in Cleveland, Ohio.

The Bengals play at home on Sunday against Dallas (6-6) and the following Thursday at Philadelphia (3-9), which is tied for worst record in the NFC.

CINCINNATI (AP) — A ragged win on the West Coast has given the Bengals a sense that everything is coming together with the playoffs on the line. Even coach Marvin Lewis sees them as a team on the rise. A 20-13 win in San Diego on Sunday gave Cincinnati (7-5) a four-game winning streak and kept the Bengals in the middle of the playoff chase. They remained tied with Pittsburgh for the second AFC wild card, although the Steelers currently hold the tiebreaker because they won in Cincinnati this season.
