Gallia man fights extradition after W.Va. arrest
Amber Gillenwater
mdtnews@mydailytribune.com

POINT PLEASANT — A
Gallipolis man wanted in Gallia County on probation violations is fighting extradition
back to Ohio following his arrest in Mason County, W.Va.
Joshua E. Buttrick, 21, was
arrested by the Mason County
Sheriff’s Office on Oct. 18 on a
petit larceny charge and is currently being held in the Western Regional Jail in Barboursville as a fugitive from justice.
His fugitive bond has been
set at $100,000 while his bond
for the charge of larceny in
Mason County is set at $2,500,
according to the jail’s website.
Buttrick had been charged
in the Common Pleas Court of

Gallia County for the burglary
of a Woodruff Road residence
in the northern portion of the
county on Sept. 13, 2010.
The defendant had allegedly
entered the residence between
the hours of 7:30 a.m. and 6:30
p.m. and stole two firearms,
several knives and a fire safe,
among other items.
He was later indicted on a
count of third-degree felony
burglary and pleaded guilty to
this charge on Feb. 1, 2011.
On Feb. 22, 2011, Buttrick
was sentenced to 24 months of
community control.
On April 3, 2012, probation
violations were filed with the
court alleging that Buttrick
failed to make his monthly
payments, leaving a total of
$4,000 owed to the court,

missed eight office visits with
his probation officer, failed
to work off all of his community service hours and had not
made an appointment with
Spectrum Outreach Services
since December 2011.
Buttrick, who had been arrested on March 31, was arraigned on these allegations on
April 3 and was later released
on an own recognizance bond.
The defendant later failed to
appear for a preliminary and,
then, a final hearing in Gallia
County on his community control violations on May 22.
A warrant was issued for his
arrest.
A journal entry filed with the
Circuit Court of Mason County, W.Va., on Monday indicates
that the defendant, without

counsel, came before Judge
David W. Nibert to waive extradition so that he could be
transported to Gallia County
to face his criminal charges
there.
According to the entry, the
court was informed that the defendant did not wish to waive
extradition and had counsel
appointed to represent him.
The court ordered that the
case be continued until January 10 to determine whether
Gallia County has secured a
governor’s warrant in this matter.
As in accordance with the
U.S. Constitution, a person
charged in any state with “treason, felony, or other crime”
who has fled from justice and
is found in another state, can

be removed and delivered back
to the state from which he or
she fled on the demand of the
“executive authority” of that
state.
A governor’s warrant is the
vehicle by which this statute
is enacted and are issued for
fugitives who do not waive extradition to another state.
In Gallia County, the Gallia
County Prosecutor’s Office is
in the process of requesting a
governor’s warrant from the
office of Ohio Governor John
Kasich for Buttrick — a fugitive who has fled their jurisdiction and must be extradited
back to Ohio before his case
can proceed.

CHESTER — Meigs
County Sheriff Robert
Beegle has confirmed that
the man responsible for a
shooting that occurred on
Taylor Road off of Ohio
248 at approximately 2:30
p.m. Friday has died as a
result of his self-inflicted
injuries.
Beegle said that sometime between 2:15 and
2:30 p.m., a male subject
entered the home where
he had been living and
proceeded to shoot his
estranged partner and
her adult daughter. The
younger woman is not the
daughter of the shooter.
According to Beegle,
a civil protection order
hearing had taken place
earlier in the day between
the couple. The male subject had been ordered to
go to the residence and
pick up his personal belongings between 2 and 6
p.m.
Beegle said that the

armed male subject was
found alive in a field adjacent to the home when
law enforcement arrived
on the scene. According to
Beegle, the male subject
ignored repeated orders to
put his weapon down and
ultimately shot himself on
site.
Beegle said the older
woman was life-flighted
from the scene to St. Mary’s
Medical Center, while the
shooter and the woman’s
daughter were transported
by ambulance to Pleasant
Valley Hospital.
Beegle said he presumed the shooter was
dead on arrival.
Agents with the Ohio
Bureau of Criminal Investigation (BCI) are currently awaiting a search warrant and will be processing
the scene. The shooting is
under investigation.
Updates will be posted
on The Daily Sentinel,
Point Pleasant Register
and The Gallipolis Daily
Tribune websites as new
details are released.

BIDWELL — A local restaurant is working to ensure that no one in Gallia County has to go hungry
this Christmas by allowing its customers, just for one
day, to pay only what they can afford.
Adopting an idea that has proven successful in
national chains, the Wounded Goose in Bidwell has
planned its first “Turn the Tables on Hunger” fundraiser for Tuesday, December 18. Between the hours
of 4 p.m. and 9 p.m. customers will be able to decide
what they are willing to pay for a meal. Those who
can afford to pay more than menu prices are encouraged to do so, and any extra income for the day will be
donated to the Living Water Food Pantry in Vinton.
“The idea was inspired by an article I read about
certain Panera Bread locations, as well as some restaurants owned by Bon Jovi which have adopted a
pay-what-you-can philosophy,” said Samantha Brabham, marketing director for the Wounded Goose.
Brabham said that the Wounded Goose already participates in an ongoing fundraising program involving
area schools and churches. If the “Turn the Tables”
day is a success, then the restaurant’s owner Katherine Brabham plans to repeat it about once a month,
with all surplus income donated to the Living Water
Food Pantry.
“Living Water serves over 600 families in Gallia
County,” noted Samantha Brabham, “and one family
has ten people. That’s around 1,000 to 1,300 people
altogether. We’d like to make a difference in their
Christmases.”
Brabham said that customers may bring non-perishable food items on Tuesday for the pantry for a chance
to win door prizes, and customers can also earn $5 in
Goose Bucks for every $50 spent during the event.
She added that people can find flyers for the fundraiser on the Wounded Goose’s Facebook page.
“Red’s Rollen Garage and Red’s Truck Center will
donate a dollar to the pantry for every share and every
‘like’ we get for the flyer,” Brabham said.
The Wounded Goose is located at 14728 Ohio 554,
Bidwell, and The Living Water Food Pantry may be
found at 863 Porter Rd., Vinton.

NEWTOWN, Conn. (AP) — A
man killed his mother at their home
and then opened fire Friday inside
the elementary school where she
taught, massacring 26 people, including 20 children, as youngsters
cowered in fear to the sound of
gunshots reverberating through the
building and screams echoing over
the intercom.
The 20-year-old killer, carrying
at least two handguns, committed
suicide at the school, bringing the
death toll to 28, authorities said.
The rampage, coming less than
two weeks before Christmas, was
the nation’s second-deadliest school
shooting, exceeded only by the Virginia Tech massacre that claimed 33
lives in 2007.
“Our hearts are broken today,” a
tearful President Barack Obama,
struggling to maintain his composure, said at the White House. He
called for “meaningful action” to
prevent such shootings. “As a country, we have been through this too
many times,” he said.
Police shed no light on the motive for the attack. The gunman,
Adam Lanza, was believed to suffer from a personality disorder
and lived with his mother, said a
law enforcement official who was
briefed on the investigation but

was not authorized to discuss it.
Panicked parents looking for their
children raced to Sandy Hook Elementary in Newtown, a prosperous
New England community of about
27,000 people 60 miles northeast
of New York City. Police told youngsters at the kindergarten-throughfourth-grade school to close their
eyes as they were led from the building so that they wouldn’t see the
blood and broken glass.
Schoolchildren — some crying,
others looking frightened — were
escorted through a parking lot in a
line, hands on each other’s shoulders.
Law enforcement officials speaking on condition of anonymity said
that Lanza killed his mother, Nancy
Lanza, then drove to the school in
her car with at least three guns, including a high-powered rifle that he
apparently left in the back of the vehicle, and shot up two classrooms.
Nancy Lanza was a part-time substitute at the school, according to a
parent.
Authorities gave no details on exactly how the attack unfolded. But
a custodian ran through the halls,
warning of a gunman on the loose,
and someone switched on the intercom, alerting people in the building
to the attack — and perhaps saving

many lives — by letting them hear
the hysteria going on in the school
office, a teacher said.
Teachers locked their doors and
ordered children to huddle in a
corner or hide in closets as shots
echoed through the building.
State police Lt. Paul Vance said
28 people in all were killed, including the gunman, and a woman who
worked at the school was wounded.
Lanza’s older brother, 24-year-old
Ryan, of Hoboken, N.J., was being
questioned, but a law enforcement
official said he was not believed
to have had a role in the rampage.
Investigators were searching his
computers and phone records, but
he told law enforcement he had not
been in touch with his brother since
about 2010.
The officials spoke on the condition of anonymity because they
were not authorized to discuss the
unfolding investigation.
At one point, a law enforcement official mistakenly identified
the gunman as Ryan Lanza. Brett
Wilshe, a friend of Ryan Lanza’s,
said Lanza told him the gunman
may have had his identification. Updates posted on Ryan Lanza’s Facebook page Friday afternoon read, “It
wasn’t me” and “I was at work.”

goal of seeing that every
child shares in the joy of
Christmas by awakening
to find they haven’t been
forgotten.
Residents of Meigs
County, while one of
the most economically
depressed areas in the
state, can be counted on
when it comes to giving
to those in need. It has
been proven time after
time that when an appeal goes out help comes
in. The need for gifts for
children has been heard.
Individuals,
organizations and agencies,
businesses and churches
across this county have
joined together, giving

of their time, talent and
money to see that every
child gets Christmas
gifts.
Among the most passionate in their drive
to see that happens are
those who ride motorcycles. For many years they
have had a “toy run.”
Hundreds from everywhere gather on Pomeroy’s parking lot and, led
by Santa, roar out for a
ride as a kickoff to their
fund drive.
Over the years, they
have raised thousands
and thousands of dollars to buy gifts for many
children. This year was
no exception.

Because of the great
need this year, the motorcyclists joined with
the Meigs Cooperative
Parish to carry out the
project.
“By combining our efforts, we can be better
stewards of what is given
to us,” said Don Shaffer.
He explained that the
Parish cross references
with other organizations
and agencies to avoid duplications.
Last week a group of
motorcyclists met at the
Parish to discuss details
of need and distribution
with Shaffer and Jenni
Dunham,
coordinator,
and to arrange one giant

shopping spree to spend
the nearly $5,000 they
collected toward toys for
kids. At last count there
were 269 kids on the
shopping list. Gifts will
be purchased from “want
lists” provided by their
parents who earlier registered to participate.
Once purchased, all
the gifts will be taken to
the Center from where
they will be distributed
from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. on
Dec. 22.
Wrapping stations will
be set up for those who
want to do that before
taking them home to put
under the Christmas tree.

in a home, but the younger
members of the home.
Approximately
three
dozen people attended the
hour-long meeting. Some
were there to learn about
becoming a foster parent,
while others were there to
provide information, and
some were there to show
their support.
Meigs County Juvenile
Court Judge Scott Powell
spoke about the increasing
need for foster families in
the region.
Due to a drug epidemic
throughout the region,
Powell said there has been
an increase in children services case.
With the increase in
children removed from
their homes and the limited number of foster parents, many of the children
are not only taken from
their homes, but from the
schools and communities
to which they are accustomed.
Meigs County Department of Job and Family
Services representatives
Chris Shank and Terri Ingles spoke about the need
for foster parents in the
area and reviewed some

of the requirements to become licensed.
Ingles said that while
the goal at the beginning
of children services cases
is reunification with the
parent or parents, several
of the children currently in
foster care are now in permanent custody or have
been in the agency’s custody for many months. After
a child has been in custody
for 11 months, the agency
is required to file for permanent custody of a child.
There are currently 17
kids in foster care in Meigs
County, with around half
of them in foster homes
outside of the county due
to only four foster homes
being located within the
county.
She added that some
foster care placements can
be short-term (overnight)
while some are much longer.
Diana Somerville and
Terri Bailey spoke about
the need for foster care in
West Virginia being similar to that the neighboring
counties in Ohio.
Somerville said it generally takes six months for
a person to become a li-

censed foster parent.
It is up to the individual
foster parent to determine
the age of child they would
be willing to care for, the
circumstances surrounding the placement and the
length of time they would
be willing to care for a foster child.
It is important to show
the child or children what
it feels like to be loved and
cared for while they are in
your care, Parry added.
“Take yourself out of it,
and focus on the child,”
Parry said.
The area agency who set
up the foster care placements are also available to
provide 24 hour support to
those who provide foster
care.
Requirements
vary
slightly from state to state,
but all foster parents are
required to be licensed.
In Ohio, those requirements include an application, a medical statement,
background checks and a
fire marshal inspection.
Potential foster parents
are also required to complete training classes and
ongoing training hours
throughout the year.
Ingles and Shank said
the agency would help with
the cost of the application
process if that is one of the
things standing in the way.
Ingles said that training
is offered in areas around
the state, but it would be
possible to have a local
training class if there were
six to eight people interested in completing the class.
In West Virginia, the
requirements are similar,
with the training times and
application materials varying slightly.
Those interested in foster care or completing the
foster care training can call

Opinion

Citizens fight to save Social
Security, Medicare and Medicaid
Jack Burgess
All over America,
including
Chillicothe,
Ohio, citizens are rallying to save Social Security, Medicare, and
Medicaid from unnecessary cuts that will hurt
millions of ordinary
people. The fear is that
these vital programs will
be scapegoated in Washington as the politicians
grapple with a national
debt caused by past tax
cuts and the wars in Iraq
and Afghanistan.
Social Security has
been with us for 76
years, created by President Roosevelt and the
Congress in 1935. It
saves millions of people
from starvation and
homelessness—people
used to literally go to
the poorhouse when
they got too old to work.
We pay into the system
when we work, and when
we reach retirement age
we can draw a pension—
which we’re “entitled”
to because we invested
in it. It’s not charity or
welfare. It’s an earned
pension, which averages
about $1200 a month.
Social Security does
not add anything to the
deficit. Experts agree it
will be able to pay out all
required benefits for at
least several decades. It
has already been “fixed,”
in 1983, when the retirement age was upped
from 65 to 67 and public
workers had their earned
Social Security benefits
cut in half because they
also earned benefits
from public retirement.
Those who want to raise
the retirement age to 70
are probably thinking of
the easier “work” of politicians or pundits, not
truck drivers, nurses, or
airline pilots.
So what’s the problem?

Why would politicians
want to cut benefits,
raise the retirement age,
or kill it altogether, to
be replaced by a system
of gambling our pension
money in the stock market? Whenever you face
a political puzzle like
this, it’s always good to
follow the money. In this
case, it leads back to the
bankers and investors,
and those politicians
who represent them in
Congress. They want
to cut back or end the
program so that we’d all
have to buy more of their
risky stock deals. In
fairness, some of them
probably believe their
own rhetoric, but that
doesn’t make their cuts
and privatization ideas
more fair or helpful to
working people.
Medicare and Medicaid were created in 1965
by President Johnson
and the Congress as a
way to provide health
care and nursing home
funding for retired people. In addition, Medicaid provides modest benefits to some low income
families. Employees pay
into the Medicare fund,
and then receive health
care benefits after age
65.
The problem? Even
though Medicare and
Medicaid are efficient,
their costs are going
up because health care
costs generally are going
up, for a variety of reasons. Part of the problem is the Medicare drug
plan, part D, set up in
2003 by President Bush
and the Congress, which
prohibits Medicare from
negotiating
discounts
from the drug companies. Also, we’re an aging population finding
more ways to treat or
cure illnesses we previously couldn’t. But that’s

expensive. Twice as expensive in the U.S. as
in Europe and Canada.
Our private insurance
system, with all the advertising, huge executive salaries, profit, and
mountains of paperwork
is very wasteful.
The Affordable Care
Act—Obamacare—can
lower costs by getting
more people paying into
the system, getting folks
to doctors instead of
emergency rooms, and
by providing preventive
benefits such as annual
check ups. It also cuts
costs by reducing waste
and fraud in the system.
But the Act doesn’t fully
kick in until 2014, and
Congress has to make a
decision about taxes and
budgeting by the end of
this year, or across-theboard increases in taxes,
and mandatory cuts, will
occur in a misguided
effort to reduce our national debt.
The debt can be reduced by growing the
economy and raising
taxes on the wealthy,
back to where they were
in the Clinton years,
producing considerable
revenue. And, we can
cut costs in the military,
now that the Iraq war is
over and Afghanistan is
winding down.
This is what we voted
for in November, and
hopefully the Congress
will enact the will of the
people. Cutting old age
pensions and reducing
health care coverage are
not humane answers to
our fiscal problems. Citizens are demanding to
be heard.

Cut foreign aid, not
American programs
Dear Editor,
Get Ready America!
Your taxes are going up, your Social
Security checks will be cut, Medicare will
be cut, and all programs to help the poor
in America will be cut and the American
worker looking to retire will work ‘til you
die. Yes, the government is raising the retirement age again. Forget retirement in
America, just work ‘til you die.
Have you seen a Congressman or Senator
or President say, “Let’s cut foreign aid?”
Forget it. I’ve called local radio stations and
TV news to talk about cutting foreign aid
and not American programs and not one
would talk about it. What’s up?
Well America, my taxes are paid for helping American people in my homeland. If we
are in debt, no foreign aid should be sent
overseas. All foreign aid needs to be before
any program for Americans is cut, not one
dollar, not one dime, not one penny.
American it’s your money the government is giving away to buy friends, overseas friend like that we don’t need. Our taxes are paid to help Americans here at home
first and until our national debt is paid off,
not foreign aid for any overseas countries.

Woman shares personal
Christmas story
Dear Editor,
Hello, I am privileged and honored to
coordinate a local Stroke Survivors’ Support Group. We meet monthly at the library
and the participants offer support, encouragement, friendship and education to one
another, as well as always willing to share
their sense of humor. They are encouraged
to pursue creative outlets or to help others. The following is a true story written
in December 2008 by Georgia French, who
requested that I submit this to our local

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.

newspaper and share her story with others
in our community. The words are hers with
a few minor edits. — Lia Barte, Gallipolis
A Christmas story of love and hope
One evening about 9:30 p.m., I took my
puppy out for her last potty time before going to bed. Her name is Maggie. She is a
mixed breed (mother was a pug and her
dad a “traveling salesman”) and she only
weighs about 10 pounds. She jerked the
leash out of my hand and away she went,
up the back hill and into the woods. I kept
calling her, but she didn’t come to me. I just
knew she got hung up on that leash. I got
my husband, John, and he took the 4-wheeler to go look for her. He didn’t find her and
said he would go again in the morning.
We went to bed and as I’m lying there, I
hear Maggie whining, crying and howling.
I was so afraid a coyote would get her, I decided to get up and go get her! I slipped on
my jeans, tennis shoes and a light-weight
coat. I grabbed my walking stick and with
flashlight in hand, up the hill I go. Not a
good plan, as you will soon see.
I get to the edge of the woods and decide
to crawl on my hands and knees because I
know I can’t walk in the woods, in the dark.
I keep calling for her and follow the sound
of her barks. I finally get to her about a half
acre back into the woods. I can’t get her untangled, so I unhook her leash.
Now, she is running loose, jumped up
two deer and then a raccoon came over to
see what was happening! Now, I’m afraid
she’s going to get hurt chasing these animals around the woods. As I’m chasing
her around, I get disoriented and can’t find
my way out of the woods. Of course, the
flashlight batteries go dead and it’s dark. I
can’t see anything! I decide to sit against a
tree, hold Maggie in my lap and wait until
daybreak.
It’s probably about 2:30 or 3:30 in the
morning by now. It starts to get light, and
I can hear John start up the 4-wheeler. He
heads to the woods to look for me. I hear
him calling out my name, I answer him,
and he finds us. I’m so cold, I can’t walk.
We get on the 4-wheeler and John takes us
home, to the warm house. He fixes me a
hot cup of coffee and puts Maggie in her
kennel, in the kitchen, by the register. John
told me that I was very lucky that we didn’t
freeze to death, it had gotten down to 22
degrees that night!
Now, I know the Lord was watching over
me and my pup, keeping us safe. I have
survived a stoke and breast cancer; Maggie
has survived being hit by a car. The Lord
must want me here, He’s not ready for me
yet. I could have frozen to death! The Lord
won’t give me any more than I can handle. I
just wish he didn’t trust me so much!

Peoples Bank, UWay partner in holiday card contest Shop Locally &amp; Save Locally
POMEROY — Peoples

with several United Way
offices in Ohio, West Virginia and Kentucky, to
create a holiday card contest for elementary school

contest was the perfect
opportunity to feature the
art and imagination of
children and engage entire
communities. The card is
extra special this year.”
Children age 6-11 (or
in grades 1-5) were asked
to draw and submit their
favorite holiday memory.
More than 240 entries

voted for their six favorite
designs. Peoples Bank ultimately selected one design
to use as its corporate holiday card.
The top six designs are
available to purchase as a

Lady Rebels roll
past Wahama,
63-39
B2

Lady Eagles soar past Fed Hock, 62-16
Bryan Walters

bwalters@heartlandpublications.com

TUPPERS PLAINS, Ohio —
The unbeaten Eastern girls basketball team continues to roll
through its competition, as was
the case Thursday night following a 62-14 victory over visiting
Federal Hocking in a Tri-Valley
Conference Hocking Division
matchup at the Eagle’s Nest in
Meigs County.
The host Lady Eagles (6-0,

6-0 TVC Hocking) led 21-2 after
eight minutes of play, then used
a 19-2 second quarter surge to
establish a commanding 40-4 intermission advantage. The Lady
Lancers (2-4, 1-4) never came
closer the rest of the way en
route to their fourth consecutive
league loss.
EHS went on a 14-6 run in the
third canto to claim a comfortable 54-10 cushion, then closed
regulation with a small 8-6 spurt

to wrap up the 46-point triumph.
It was only the second time this
winter that Eastern did not reach
the 70-point plateau.
The 16 points allowed are the
lowest total that Eastern has
held an opponent to in six contests, while the 62 points scored
are also an offensive low for the
Lady Eagles. EHS is averaging
70.2 points per game while allowing just 22 per contest, and
none of the Green and White’s

six opponents have yet to score
40 points in a single matchup.
Erin Swatzel led the hosts with
a game-high 20 points, followed
by Katie Keller with 17 points
and Jenna Burdette with 11 markers. Savannah Hawley chipped in
10 points to the winning cause,
while Jordan Parker rounded out
the scoring with four markers.
EHS was 3-of-9 at the free throw
line for 33 percent.
Cheyenne Singer paced FHHS

with six points, followed by McKenzie Steele and Megan Thompson with three markers apiece.
Ashley Roberts and Carly Tabler
each had two points for the Lady
Lancers, who connected on 1-of8 charity tosses for 13 percent.
The Lady Eagles — who have
now won 11 straight TVC Hocking contests overall — welcome
unbeaten Jackson on Monday
night in a non-conference matchup at the Eagle’s Nest.

TUPPERS
PLAINS,
Ohio — Now that’s clutch.
The Eagles hit over
70 percent of their free
throws in the fourth
quarter to seal their first
victory of the year in Friday’s Tri-Valley Conference Hocking division
match up against archrival Southern. The victory
came by the score of 5451 in the “Eagle’s Nest”.
After Southern (2-1,
2-1 TVC Hocking) began
the game with a 15-7 run
the the Eagles (1-3, 1-2)
battled back cut the lead
to 15-13 at the end of the
opening stanza. The Tornadoes out scored EHS
5-to-4 in the first 4:05 of
the second period but the
Eagles closed the quarter
with a 7-2 run which gave
them the 24-22 halftime
lead.
Eastern out scored the
Tornadoes 6-to-5 through
the first 3:30 of the second
half but the Tornadoes
closed the third quarter
on a 16-to-7 run to take
the six point advantage
headed into the finale.
After swapping the lead
EHS took the lead it didn’t
relinquish from the charity stripe with 3:54 mark.

The Eagles went 12-of-17
from the free throw line
in the final period which
paired with tough defense
allowed them to hold on
for the 53-51 victory.
“It was a much much
needed win,” said Eastern coach Corey Britton
after the game. ” We got
off to that 0-3 start and
didn’t think we were ever
going to get healthy but
we got one guy back and
it makes a big difference.
It was just a great team effort, it’s the first time we
followed a game plan from
start to finish and I give
all the credit in the world
to our kids they did it all.
They listened they were
coachable, we had a great
week of practice and this
is the payoff.”
The Eagles scoring
attack was led by Max
Carnahan with 25 points,
11 of which came in the
fourth quarter. Kirk Pullins finished with nine
points, Troy Gantt had
seven,
Brent
Welch
chipped in with six, Zakk
Heaton had four and Cameron Richmond finished
with three points to round
out the EHS scoring.

Meigs conquers Spartans, 56-43

ROCKSPRINGS, Ohio — Meigs had 10 players
reach the scoring column while matching its win
total from a year ago following a 56-43 triumph
over visiting Alexander in a Tri-Valley Conference
Ohio Division boys basketball matchup Friday
night at Larry R. Morrison Gymnasium.
The host Marauders (2-2, 1-1 TVC Ohio)
stormed out to an early 6-0 advantage, but the
Spartans (1-4, 0-2) responded with a 14-5 surge
over the final 4:59 of the first quarter to establish
a 14-11 edge through eight minutes of play.
MHS answered the second period bell with a
9-3 run out of the gates, which gave the Maroon
and Gold a 19-17 lead with 5:56 left in the opening half. Alexander was never closer the rest of
the way, as the hosts closed the half out on a 14-4
charge to take a comfortable 33-21 cushion into
the intermission.
The Marauders kept momentum going into the
second half, as the hosts went on an 11-7 run to
claim their biggest lead of the night at 44-28 with
2:46 left in the third stanza. AHS tacked on one
free throw at the 1:18 mark to pull within 44-29
headed into the finale.
Despite committing 10 turnovers down the
stretch, Meigs’ lead never dwindled down lower
than nine points — which came at 52-43 with 50
seconds left in regulation. The Marauders closed
the game with a small 4-0 spurt, wrapping up the
13-point outcome.
The Marauders — whose only regular season
victory last season came against Alexander (7168) on January 20 in Rocksprings — shot 61 percent from the field overall and made 7-of-10 free
throws in the second half.
For a team just four games into the 2012-13
campaign, MHS coach David Kight is seeing significant signs of improvement. And the proof is in
the results.

PROCTORVILLE, Ohio — River
Valley committed twice as many
turnovers as Fairland Friday night as
the Dragons took the 68-46 Ohio Valley Conference victory in Lawrence
County.
FHS (4-2, 2-0 OVC) got off to a
hot start out scoring River Valley (14, 0-2) 20-10 over the opening eight
minutes of the contest. The Dragons
out scored RVHS by 10 for the second consecutive period in the second
to take the 37-17 halftime lead.
The Silver and Black offense got
on track after the break, scoring 17
in the third period. The Dragons
scored 19 and led 56-34 headed into

the finale. The teams played evenly
over the final eight minutes and Fairland took the 68-46 win.
River Valley was led by the post
duo of Ethan Dovenbarger and Seann Roberts with 11 points apiece.
Jacob Gilmore and Tyler Twyman
each had six points, Justin Rush had
five and Joseph Loy chipped in with
three. Burnie Stanley and Kirk Morrow rounded out the RVHS scoring
with two points apiece. Roberts led
the Raiders with eight rebounds on
the night.
Thayer Flynn led the Dragons with
13 points on the night, followed by
Chance Short with nine and Cody
Midkiff with eight.
Each team pulled down 36 rebounds on the night but Fairland

held a 26-to-13 turnover advantage.
RVHS was 16-of-44 (36.4 percent)
from the field, including 2-of-13
(15.4 percent) from beyond the arc.
All of River Valley’s free throw attempts came after halftime and the
Raiders shot a notable 12-of-16 (75
percent) from the free throw line.
Fairland was 23-of-63 (36.5 percent)
from the field, 5-of-16 (31.3 percent)
from three-point range and 7-of-10
(70 percent) from the charity stripe
in the contest.
The 68 points surrendered to Fairland is the most allowed by River Valley this season. RVHS has now lost
four consecutive contests.
The Raiders will have their shot at
revenge on January 18th when the
Dragons travel to Bidwell.

and were outscored 39-10 in the second half

in Lawrence County.

“Since I took this job this summer, we’ve really stressed the importance of getting five guys to play
as one team on the court,” Kight
said. “We have some interchangeable pieces and we still don’t have
all of our roles defined, but tonight
was a good example of how playing
as one can lead to positive things.
“We were very unselfish, very
determined and really played hard
throughout of the course of the
contest. I’m really proud of these
guys and their effort tonight.”

scored four points to

scoring.
“Give Eastern credit, I
knew they’d never quit,”
said Southern coach Jeff
Caldwell. “I knew this
was going to be a battle
all the way through and
that no lead was safe.
Every time out is going
to be a battle for us, the
game against Waterford
on Tuesday night, I don’t
expect that too much. I
think we’re going to be in
for tough games, where
it’s going to come down
to execution in the second half throughout the
year.”
Carnahan
finished
with a game-high eight
rebounds and nine steals
on the night while leading the Eagles with five
assists. Pullins chipped
in with nine rebounds for
the Green and White.
“We’ve got a group of
kids that have played bas-

ketball before,” Britton
said. “With Kirk back that
gives us five people back
from last year and when
you have experience like
that we can have some
success. It showed down
the stretch, we didn’t do
everything correctly but
you could tell we felt comfortable in a close game
with four seniors and a
freshman out there.”
Wolfe and Pickens led
the Tornadoes with five
rebounds apiece, while
Wolfe had a team-high
five assists. Pape and
Wolfe had the only two
steals for Southern while
Teaford and Drummer
had the games only two
blocks.
“At times we did
(played hard) then at
times I thought our energy level was a little low.”
Caldwell said. “The mental mistakes that we’re

The Eagles were 15of-52 (28.8 percent)
from the field, including
a 3-of-22 (13.6 percent)
effort from beyond the
arc. The Eagles were
21-of-34 (61.8 percent)
from the free throw line
in the game. Eastern had
23 rebounds and just 11
turnovers on the night.
Southern shot 16-of32 (50 percent) from the
field, 4-of-11 (36.4 percent) from three-point
range and remarkable
15-of-20 (75 percent)
from the charity stripe.
Southern pulled down
27 rebounds but turned
the ball over 29 times in
the game.
“We’ve been terrible
defensively all season giving up close to 70 points
a game,” said Britton.
“This week was huge, we
had four days to prepare
and the first three days
we did nothing except
work on our defense. If
we can’t then we’re going
to have no success we did
much better.”
This is the second consecutive year that Eastern
has handed the Tornadoes their first loss of the
season in Tuppers Plains.
“I never expected us to
be too good right here at
the beginning of the year,”
said Jeff Caldwell. “We
had a couple of nice wins
but we’ve got a long way
to go. We lack a lot of experience, we turn the ball
over way too much right
now, we haven’t learned
how to be consistent and
play hard all the time and
we’ve got a lot of work to
do. We knew that coming
into this season and we’ll
get better as we go.”
These two teams will
meet again in the regular
season finale when the
Eagles travel to Racine on
February 15th.

Meigs
From Page B1
“Since I took this job this summer, we’ve really stressed the importance of getting five guys to play
as one team on the court,” Kight
said. “We have some interchangeable pieces and we still don’t have
all of our roles defined, but tonight
was a good example of how playing
as one can lead to positive things.
“We were very unselfish, very
determined and really played hard
throughout of the course of the
contest. I’m really proud of these
guys and their effort tonight.”

that no lead was safe.

Lady Tornadoes can’t
slow surging Belpre

Late rally lifts Lady Spartans past Meigs, 61-47

Alex Hawley

Bryan Walters

BELPRE, Ohio — The Lady Eagles have been hard to
beat lately.
The tall task of slowing Belpre is one that the Southern
girls basketball team was unable to complete Thursday
night. BHS took its fourth consecutive win with a 74-56
Tri-Valley Conference Hocking Division triumph in Washington County.
Belpre (5-2, 3-2 TVC Hocking) stormed out to an early
lead after out scoring Southern (2-4, 1-4) 20-to-7 in the
opening stanza. The Lady Tornado offense was sparked
by freshman Jansen Wolfe who scored nine of the teams
15 points in the second quarter. BHS tallied 21 points in
the second frame and led 41-22 at the break.
The pace picked up after the half as Belpre out scored
SHS 27-14 in the third. The Lady Tornadoes bounced
back with a 20-6 run over the final eight minutes of the
game but the Lady Eagles held on for a 74-56 victory.
The Lady Tornadoes were led by Wolfe with a doubledouble performance of 24 points and 16 rebounds. Celestia
Hendrix recorded her second consecutive double-double
with 11 points and 12 rebounds, while Maggie Cummins
scored nine points including a pair of three-pointers. Jordan Huddleston finished with six points, Hannah Hill had
three, while Alison Deem, Haley Hill and Darien Diddle
each tallied one point for SHS. Cummins and Wolfe each
had three steals to pace the Lady Tornadoes, while Deem
had a team-high three assists.
BHS was led by the duo of Katelyn Huges, who had 19
points and eight rebounds, and Sierra Barker, who finished with 18 points and six assists. Lexis Cunningham
finished with 10 points, Emily Huges had eight, Jackie
Cunningham had seven, Andrea Linton notched four and
Cheynne Henderson marked three points. Rachel Packard
and Ashley Jenkins each finished with two points, while
Hannah Lawrentz rounded out the Lady Eagles with one
point.
The Lady Tornadoes held a 45-to-36 advantage on the
glass but committed twice as many turnovers as Belpre
(34-to-17). Belpre was whistled for 25 fouls on the night
while Southern was charged with just 18. Southern scored
all but 16 of it’s points from inside the painted area.
SHS shot 19-of-56 (33.9 percent) from the field including 4-of-9 (44.4 percent) from beyond the arc. The Lady
Tornadoes were 14-of-28 (50 percent) from the charity
stripe. Belpre was 25-of-74 (33.8 percent) from the field,
5-of-19 (26.3 percent) from three-point range and a remarkable 19-of-24 (79.2 percent) from the free throw line.
These teams will meet once more this season, on January 7th in Racine.

ROCKSPRINGS, Ohio — Someone was going to get its first win of
the 2012-13 girls basketball season
Thursday night.
The only question was which
team?
Visiting Alexander broke away
from a 33-all tie over the final 12:43
of regulation with a 28-14 surge and
ultimately claimed a 61-47 decision
over Meigs in a Tri-Valley Conference Ohio Division girls basketball
matchup at Larry R. Morrison
Gymnasium.
The host Lady Marauders (0-6,
0-3 TVC Ohio) led 3-2 three minutes into regulation, but the Lady
Spartans countered with a 12-0
run over the next four minutes to
claim its biggest lead of the first half
at 14-3 with 56 seconds left in the
opening canto.
Meigs, however, snapped a 4:31
scoreless drought with 38 seconds
left in the first, then both teams
traded baskets to end the opening
eight minutes with a 16-7 AHS advantage.
Both teams traded three-pointers to start the second period, but
Meigs followed with an 15-7 charge
to pull within a single point (26-25)
with 44 seconds remaining in the
half. Alexander, however, closed
the second canto with a small 4-0
spurt to take a 30-25 edge into the
intermission.
The Lady Marauders reeled off
five straight points to start the
second half and pulled even at 30
with 6:55 left in the third, but the
guests responded with a free throw
to reclaim the lead (31-30) just 22
seconds later.
Meigs quickly countered with a
successful trifecta from Delilah Fish
at the 6:24 mark, which allowed the
hosts to stake their final lead of the
night at 33-31.
AHS tied the game at 33-all with
5:21 remaining in the third, then
ran off another six consecutive
points to re-establish a two-possession lead at 39-33 with 3:38 left.
The hosts never came closer than
four points the rest of the way and
were ultimately outscored 10-4 over
the final three-plus minutes, giving
Alexander a 49-37 cushion headed
into the finale.

the final eight minutes of play. The
Lady Spartans (1-5, 1-2) claimed
their biggest lead of the night with
5:24 left in regulation at 58-39.

second half.
MHS connected on 18-of-47 field
goal attempts for 38 percent, including a 4-of-9 effort from three-point
range for 44 percent. The hosts also

assists and six steals as a team in
the setback.
Delilah Fish led Meigs with nine
points, followed by Brittany Kraut-

ter with eight points and Morgan
Russell with seven markers. Ally
Maxson and Tess Phelps both contributed six points apiece, while
Kelsey Hudson added five markers.
Mercadies George chipped in
three points to the losing effort,
while Hannah Cremeans and
Kirsten McGuire rounded out the
scoring with two markers apiece.

overall at the free throw line for 50
percent.
Marilyn Rankin paced the Lady
Spartans with a game-high 20
points, followed by Ally Malone
with 11 points and Kaylee Koker
with 10 markers. Both Rankin and
Malone were also held scoreless in
the first quarter of play.
AHS was 10-of-22 at the charity stripe for 45 percent, but only
made 3-of-9 attempts in the fourth
quarter.

IRONTON, Ohio — The Ohio Valley Christian girls basketball team kept things interesting for eight minutes, but a 27-6 second quarter surge ultimately allowed host Ironton Saint
Joseph to pull away for a 69-23 victory in a
non-conference matchup in Lawrence County.
The Lady Defenders (1-3) found themselves
down 13-7 after one period of play, but those
seven points ended up being the most points
that the guests would score the rest of the way.
The Lady Flyers (5-1) followed with their big
run of the night and established a 40-13 intermission advantage.
ISJHS went on an 11-5 run in the third period for a 51-18 edge, then closed regulation
on an 18-5 surge to wrap up the 46-point decision.
Madison Crank and Emily Carman both led
the Lady Defenders with eight points apiece,
followed by Sarah Schoonover with three
markers. Teah Elliott and Bekah Sargent each
scored two points to round out the scoring for
OVCS, which finished the night 6-of-10 at the
free throw line for 60 percent.
Hannah Miller paced the Lady Flyers with a
game-high 17 points, followed by Amber Neal
with 15 points and Lynsey Booker with 11
markers. ISJHS was 3-of-6 at the charity stripe

WAYNE, W.Va. — The

team kept things respectable for 16 minutes, but

41-22 second half surge
to wear down the guests
and claim a 67-41 decision Friday night during a
non-conference matchup
in Wayne County.
The visiting Wildcats
(1-3) trailed 17-8 after
eight minutes of play, but
rallied with a small 11-9
run in the second canto
to pull within 26-19 at the
intermission.
The Pioneers (2-0),
however, went on a 21-8
charge in the third quarter to establish a 47-27

to wrap up the 28-point
outcome.
Kade McCoy led HHS
with 12 points, followed

Brad Fannin and Paul
Holley with six markers

Logan outlasts Blue Devils, 52-46
Bryan Walters

bwalters@heartlandpublications.com

LOGAN, Ohio — Logan went on the
warpath in the second half Friday night,
as the hosts shot 75 percent from the
field after halftime en route to a 52-46
victory over the Gallia Academy boys
basketball team in a Southeastern Ohio
Athletic League matchup at Jim Myers
Gymnasium in Hocking County.
The Blue Devils (1-4, 0-2 SEOAL)
trailed 12-10 after one period of play, but
the guests countered with a 10-4 run to
open the second quarter and established
a 20-16 edge late in the first half.
The Chieftains (2-1, 2-0) retaliated
with a 6-0 spurt to regain the lead at 2220, but Seth Atkins sank an offensive
putback just before the halftime buzzer
— knotting the game up at 22-all headed
into the intermission.
LHS scored the first six points of the
second half as part of a 9-2 run, which
established a lead of 31-24 — the largest for either team in the contest. Logan
never trailed again, but the Blue Devils
did manage to close the rest of the third
period on a small 9-7 spurt to pull within
38-33 headed into the finale.
GAHS never came closer the rest of
the way, but the guests did cut their deficit down to 48-43 with 2:07 left in regulation. The Chieftains closed the game on
a small 4-3 run to wrap up the six-point
decision.
Logan made just 4-of-22 field goal
attempts in the first half, but netted 15of-20 shots after the break to finish the

night 19-of-42 from the floor for 45 percent. The hosts also made 11-of-25 free
throw attempts for 44 percent and 3-of10 trifectas for 30 percent.
Gallia Academy, conversely, connected
on 19-of-50 field goal attempts for 38
percent, including a 2-of-10 effort from
three-point range for 20 percent. The
guests were also 6-of-13 at the charity
stripe for 46 percent.
GAHS claimed a 36-30 rebounding
egde in the setback, but also committed
16 turnovers — compared to just 13 by
the hosts. Gallia Academy also had eight
assists and six steals in the contest.
Justin Bailed led the Blue and White
with a game-high 13 points, followed by
Cody Call with eight points and Wes Jarrell with six markers. Jimmy Clagg, Wade
Jarrell and Seth Atkins each contributed
four points, while Reid Eastman added
three markers.
Nick Clagg and Alex White had two
points apiece to round out the GAHS
scoring. Wes Jarrell had a team-best six
rebounds, while Call and Nick Clagg
added team-highs of four assists and
two steals, respectively. The loss was the
fourth straight overall for the Blue Devils.
Anthony McNeal and Tristan Myers
both paced Logan with 12 points apiece,
followed by Josh Mutzner with nine
points and Patrick Klingler with eight
markers. McNeal led the hosts with a
game-high eight rebounds, while Gaven
Jourdan dished out a game-best six assists.

Dunn contributed to this report.

NITRO, W.Va. — The Point Pleasant
boys basketball team fell to 0-4 on the
2012-13 season Friday night following a 76-59 setback to host Nitro in a
non-conference matchup in Kanawha
County.
The visiting Big Blacks managed to
keep things close through three quarters of play, but the Wildcats (1-1) used
a 21-9 surge over the final eight minutes
of regulation to turn a narrow five-point
advantage into a sizable 17-point triumph.
NHS claimed a small 18-16 edge
through one period of play, then went
on a 20-13 run in the second canto to
claim a 38-29 intermission advantage.
Point Pleasant responded with a 21-17
spurt to pull within 55-50 headed into
the fourth, but never came closer the
rest of the way.
Wade Martin led PPHS with a gamehigh 26 points, followed by Dillon McCarty with 19 points and Andrew Williamson with nine markers. Adam Slack
and Garrett Norris respectively rounded out the visitor scoring with three
and two points.
Trevon Taylor and Sam Neff both
paced Nitro with 21 points apiece, followed by Angelo Sirianni with 18 points
and Hunter Ferrari with eight markers.
Despite the loss, the 59 points marked
a season-high for the Big Blacks. It was
also the second time in four contests
that PPHS allowed 76 points to an opponent.

Redskins, Browns meet with plenty on line
CLEVELAND (AP) — During
a career spanning nearly 14 seasons — most of them extremely
painful — with the Browns, kicker Phil Dawson has only experienced a handful of home games
in December that have meant
something.
The list is short.
But Sunday’s game against
Washington is on it, and not just
because it may be Dawson’s last
in Cleveland.
The Browns, given up for dead
after an 0-5 start, are playing for

more than pride and paychecks.
With three straight wins, they’ve
got faint playoff hopes and need
a win over the Redskins to keep
them alive. Cleveland has made
the playoffs just once since 1999,
when Dawson was unproven and
had a full head of hair.
“Usually by now all the talk is
about the stuff that goes on off
the field,” Dawson said, “but
the conversation has revolved
around winning a football game
in December. That’s refreshing.”
The Redskins, too, are fighting

for the postseason and pray rookie quarterback Robert Griffin III
will be able to lead them there.
The dynamic RG3, with a
blend of speed and charisma
rarely seen in the NFL, sustained
a sprained right knee last week
when he was tackled after a 13yard scramble in the closing
minutes of regulation against
Baltimore. The image of Griffin’s
leg whipping back grotesquely
as he was brought down by Ravens tackle Haloti Ngata was
replayed hundreds of times this

week, leading to speculation that
he would miss at least one game
and maybe more.
But Griffin practiced all week
and Redskins coach Mike Shanahan will use the uncertainty about
his young star’s playing status to
keep the Browns guessing.
However, they’ve already made
their predictions.
“We fully anticipate that he’ll
play,” Browns defensive coordinator Dick Jauron said.
“We’re preparing for RG3 to
be out there.”

Forest conservation grant
awarded to Rural Action
Staff Report

mdsnews@mydailysentinel.com

NELSONVILLE — Rural Action, a
nonprofit member-based development
organization located in Athens County,
has been awarded a $4,000 grant from
the Ora E. Anderson Conservation
Fund for Appalachian Ohio, a permanent endowment fund at the Foundation for Appalachian Ohio.
This grant will be used to assist Rural Action’s Forestry Program in working with landowner’s on developing a
forest management plan using mixed
management techniques. Co-written
by Rural Action’s Forest Botanicals
Specialist and a local Forester, the new
plans will be highlight opportunities
for landowners to earn income from
growing forest understory crops and
address timber management or other
landowner interests.
Additionally, the grant supports
three workshops during 2012-13. The
first workshop, held in November, focused on low impact forestry equipment and services. During spring
2013, a sustainable forestry workshop
in Hocking County will teach landowners with small tracts about cultivating
understory forest botanicals such as
American Ginseng and Goldenseal. A
third 2013 workshop will kick off the
“Sunday Creek Riparian Regrowth
Project” near Glouster, and will include
a tree-planting event.
Rural Action’s mission is to foster
social, economic, and environmental
justice in Appalachian Ohio. The organization builds model sustainable
development projects and encourages
a broad civic conversation around Ap-

palachian Ohio’s assets in order to create sustainable development paths for
the region. Learn more about Rural Action’s Forestry work at: www.ruralaction.org or email Susi Rankis at susi@
ruralaction.org.
Established in 2006 as an endowment fund with the Foundation for Appalachian Ohio, the Ora E. Anderson
Conservation Fund for Appalachian
Ohio exists to provide a permanent
source of charitable funding for conservation activities and programs in the
areas of watershed restoration, sustainable forest practices, and promotion of
the region’s cultural and environmental
history. Through this fund, the late Ora
E. Anderson’s legacy of protecting the
natural beauty of Appalachian Ohio
continues through philanthropic giving.
Those who would like to make a gift
to the Ora E. Anderson Conservation
Fund for Appalachian Ohio may mail a
donation to the Foundation for Appalachian Ohio, P. O. Box 456, Nelsonville,
Ohio 45764, or visit www.applachianohio.org, and designate the Ora E. Anderson Conservation Fund for Appalachian Ohio, when making a donation.
The Foundation for Appalachian
Ohio is a regional community foundation serving the 32 counties of Appalachian Ohio with the mission of enriching the region’s current and future
quality of life. A 501(c)(3) public charity, the Foundation attracts contributions for programs and endowment,
makes grants for charitable and civic
purposes, and supports local efforts for
positive change. For more information

EMS superintendent
speaks to retired teachers
POMEROY — Rick Edwards,

meeting of the Meigs County Retired Teacher Association.
He talked about the role of the

and federal grants. The money is
used to provide the many services
they provide for the districts including professional development,
curricular support, supervision,
therapy support services, leadership development, programming
and initiatives, along with personnel services and licensure.
Gay Perrin conducted the met-

ing which opened with the flag

Christmas, New Year’s
travel busiest in 6 years
NEW YORK (AP) —
This Christmas travel
season could be the busiest in six years, with AAA
predicting that 93.3 million Americans will hit
the road. That’s 1.6 percent more than last year
and just 400,000 people
shy of the 2006 record.
More cars will crowd
the highways than ever
before, largely because
finding a seat on a plane
at a desirable price has
gotten more difficult.
AAA says a record 84.4
million people will drive
at least 50 miles between
Dec. 22 and Jan. 1. That’s
90.5 percent of holiday
travelers, up from 89.3
percent six years ago.
Put another way: one
in four Americans will
be driving long distances
for Christmas and New
Year’s. So expect plenty
of traffic jams, crowded
highway rest stops and
overflowing toll plazas.

The price of gas could
be close to the average of
$3.23 a gallon that drivers
paid last Christmas Day.
The price has dropped
about 50 cents since September. AAA estimates the
average price will range
between $3.20 and $3.40 a
gallon by New Year’s Day,
according to AAA. That’s
pricey, but hardly a deterrent to holiday travel.
“The year-end holiday
season remains the least
volatile of all travel holidays as Americans will
not let economic conditions or high gas prices
dictate if they go home
for the holidays or kick off
the New Year with a vacation,” say AAA president
and CEO Robert Darbelnet.
The travel forecast done
by IHS Global Insight for
AAA, one of the nation’s
largest leisure travel agencies, is based on interviews with 655 Americans

and factors in estimates
about the overall health of
the economy.
While about 1 million
more people will driver,
fewer will travel by plane.
Airlines for America,
the industry’s trade group,
estimates that about 15
million people will fly between Dec. 17 and Jan. 6.
The group says there will
be 42 million segments
— a takeoff and landing
— flown by passengers.
That’s about 300,000, or
1 percent, fewer segments
than last year.
Planes will also be fuller than last Christmas.
The group’s chief economist John Heimlich expects 86 percent of seats
to be filled with paying
passengers, up from 85
percent last year. That
number could climb to
90 percent on the busiest
days: the weekend before
Christmas, the day after
Christmas and Jan. 2.

Program
From Page C1
beginning of the 201112 school year and have
since added a third member — Eastern Local
Speech Therapist Macyn
Baylor — to the committee.
The program allows
the students, teachers
and staff the opportunity
to spread awareness and
get students involved in
exploring ways of helping
other in the community.
“Our goal is for students to realize that they
can make a difference in
the lives of others,” said
Howard.
Activities change each
month, with projects
ranging from gifts that
keep on giving to breast
cancer and blood donor
awareness month activities.
During the month of
October students took

part in creating a giant
pink human ribbon in
support of Breast Cancer
Awareness Month. They
also did a balloon release
in honor and memory of
those affected by cancer.
Students could also purchase pink carnations
to give to those special
people in their lives affected by the disease.
Money raised from the
projects were given to
the American Cancer
Society.
Each Tuesday over the
past year, students and
staff have been wearing shirts which say
“Believe.” Many of the
shirts are pink, and all
are in support of cancer
awareness.
“We started wearing
our “Believe” shirts last
year on Tuesdays to
show support for one of
the parents who received
her chemo treatments

on Tuesdays,” said Howard. “The idea stuck and
most of us continue to
wear the shirts every
Tuesday.”
One major event for
the program and the district is the mini Relay for
Life which is held in May.
Last year, students
were encouraged to grow
their hair out throughout the school year and
have that hair cut to be
donated to Pantene Beautiful Lengths which provides wigs to women with
cancer. More than three
dozen students, staff and
relatives took part in the
hair donation station,
including a handful of
boys who had their head
shaved for cancer awareness.
The hair donation station will be held again
this spring.
In December of this
year and last year stu-

dents in each grade chose
a project with the theme
gifts that keep giving.
Some classrooms chose to
make cards and gifts for
those in nursing homes,
while others collected
canned food to donate to
a local food pantry.
In January, the school
will once again sponsor
an American Red Cross
blood drive. Last year,
approximately 50 people
donated blood at the
blood drive. Elementary
students sponsored donors to encourage more
people to donate blood.
January is also National
Blood Donor Month.
As part of the program,
the school will continue to collect pop tabs
throughout the year as
they did last year. Last
year students collected
more than 68 gallons
(two 34-gallon trash
cans) full of pop tabs.

Sarah Hawley l Daily Tribune

In November volunteers placed photos of military service personnel and veterans in the display case and several teachers
brought in veterans or active duty military to speak to their
classrooms.

Proceeds from the pop
tabs go to the Ronald
McDonald House Foundation.
The
students
are
about half way to that
number already this
school year.

Other activities have
included “Pennies for
Patients” which benefits the Leukemia and
Lymphoma
Society;
awareness activities to
highlight diabetes; and
random acts of kindness.

CONCEPTIS SUDOKU
by Dave Green

HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Monday,
Dec. 17, 2012:
This year you hear and learn so
much that you might experience an
information overload. You do not
always understand why people do
what they do. Be aware of the fact
that sometimes they don’t either. Your
drive to learn more marks your year.
Some of you will go back to school,
while others will find that learning about
different lifestyles is helpful. If you are
single, you could discover that you
have too many potential suitors. Enjoy
the process of choosing the right person. If you are attached, your home life
remains pivotal. You even might decide
to buy a home or change where you
live. PISCES is often a source of stress
for you.
The Stars Show the Kind of Day
You’ll Have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive;
3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult
ARIES (March 21-April 19)
HHHH Schedule meetings quickly,
even if you feel pushed to do so.
Others can’t seem to handle business
matters right now. You could be overwhelmed by the many hats you need
to wear. Messages could get mixed,
and others might be into control games.
Tonight: Vanish quickly!
TAURUS (April 20-May 20)
HHHH You step up to the plate and
take the lead at work, school and/or
within your immediate circle. You could
feel stretched to the limit. A loved one
will make an effort to help, but he or
she will succeed only in irritating you.
Walk away from someone’s power
play. Tonight: Where you want to be.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20)
HHHHH Reach out to someone
who can be a lightning rod of enlightenment. You appreciate this person’s
different perspective. When you work
with a situation and use more expansive thinking, you will incorporate what
you’ve learned. Tonight: Catch up with
an older relative.
CANCER (June 21-July 22)
HHHH You get bored by the same
old conversations. Toss in a new idea
or two, and observe the responses you
get. You will know right away whether
you can open up this interaction. At
least you will be able to get a feel for
the possibilities. Tonight: Put on a piece
of Christmas music.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)
HHHH Others seek you out for a
plethora of reasons. You might be so
overwhelmed by everything you hear
that you might want to hide. Consider
taking a walk or signing up for a yoga
class. Someone in your daily environment decides to be very controlling.

Tonight: Dinner for two.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
HHHHH You are able to make
others laugh. Your ability to dive into
a problem and find the solution also
emerges. Your creativity tends to
bubble up in problem-solving situations,
and you’ll feel more confident than you
have in a while. Tonight: Go with a suggestion.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
HHHHH Your quirky, fun personality
might emerge at a most inappropriate
moment. Make calls to a key person at
a distance. This person’s perspective
adds dimension to a situation. Touch
base with a family member when you
have a few moments. Tonight: Slow
down. Relax.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
HHH Make it OK to vanish for a
while. Home might be the perfect place
to hang out. Return a call to a neighbor
or family member. This person knows
how to manipulate people, and he or
she often likes to practice on you. Be
careful! Tonight: Choose what you most
love to do.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
HHHH Stay tuned in to a family
member’s needs. Certain feelings will
emerge, and you could become more
verbal than in the recent past. Others
will respond. Do not get involved in
a petty struggle happening around
you. Go out and do errands instead.
Tonight: Head on home.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
HHHH Stay open to someone who
can — and probably will — be difficult.
You’ll move through this situation with
ease if you consider how strong you
have been in the past. Refuse to make
this situation more provocative. Tonight:
Run holiday errands before meeting a
friend.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
HHH Curb a need to overspend on
loved ones. Know that you can make
great choices within your budget. Be
careful if you suddenly feel resentful of
someone. You have been suppressing
your feelings for a while. You also have
been giving too much. Tonight: Treat
yourself, too.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)
HHHHH Act on a friend’s suggestion. When discussing it with others,
you’ll discover that they also like this
idea. Stress could be an issue with so
much to do. Give yourself permission
not to get every detail done. Take some
much-needed personal time. Tonight:
You can do no wrong.

Like 9/11 concert, musicians turn out for Sandy
NEW YORK (AP) — Call the
“12-12-12” benefit show “The Concert for New York City” 2.0. Eleven
years after the benefit concert in
response to the Sept. 11 terrorist
attacks was held at Madison Square
Garden, many of the same top musicians came together to raise money
for those suffering from Superstorm
Sandy, including Paul McCartney,
The Rolling Stones, Billy Joel, The
Who, Eric Clapton and Bon Jovi.
Those singers set a serious tone
Wednesday night, wearing mostly
black and gray onstage as they encouraged people to call and donate
money to those affected by the devastating storm that took place in late
October, killing about 140 people
and damaging millions of homes and
properties in New York, New Jersey,
Connecticut and other areas.
Alicia Keys, who grew up in Manhattan’s Hell’s Kitchen, closed the
night with her New York anthem,
“Empire State of Mind,” as doctors,
nurses, firefighters, police officers
and others joined the piano-playing
singer onstage. They ended the night
chanting “U.S.A.”
Keys was one of two women who
performed at “The Concert for Sandy Relief.” Diana Krall backed McCartney, who sang his solo songs,
Beatles songs and played the role of
Kurt Cobain with Nirvana members
Dave Grohl, Krist Novoselic and Pat
Smear during the nearly six-hour
show.
Bruce Springsteen and the E Street
Band kicked off the night, performing songs like “My City of Ruins,”

”Born to Run” with Bon Jovi and
some of Tom Waits’ “Jersey Girl.”
“I pray that that characteristic
remains along the Jersey shore because that’s what makes it special,”
the New Jersey-born rocker said,
referring to how the Jersey Shore attracts an ethnic and economic melting pot of people.
E Street band guitarist Steven
Van Zandt said backstage that musicians and entertainers always show
up when tragedy hits.
“It’s more personal because literally the Jersey Shore is where we grew
up … but we’d be here anyway,” he
said. “You don’t see oil companies
here, you don’t see insurance companies here, the Wall Street guys,
with all due respect, they’re not
waiting in line to help anybody, so
we’re here.”
The sold-out show was televised
live, streamed online, played on the
radio and shown in theaters all over
the world. Producers said up to 2
billion people were able to experience it live.
But the night wasn’t all serious: Comedy helped break up the
weightiness of Sandy’s devastation,
including jokes from Jon Stewart,
Chris Rock, Stephen Colbert and
Adam Sandler, who performed a hilarious parody of Leonard Cohen’s
“Hallelujah.” Even Coldplay’s Chris
Martin brought on the jokes.
“I know you really wanted One Direction,” Martin said of the popular
British boy band. “But it’s way past
their bedtime.”
Martin was joined onstage by Mi-

chael Stipe, as they sang R.E.M.’s
“Losing My Religion.” And there
was another collaboration with
Roger Waters and Eddie Vedder on
“Comfortably Numb.”
The participants, many natives
of the area and others who know it
well, struck a defiant tone in asking
for help to rebuild sections of the
New York metropolitan area devastated by the storm. About half of the
performers were British.
“This has got to be the largest
collection of old English musicians
ever assembled in Madison Square
Garden,” said Mick Jagger of The
Rolling Stones, who performed two
songs. “If it rains in London, you’ve
got to come and help us.”
Waters, who has lived in New
York for 11 years, said “there’s a
great feeling of camaraderie” backstage and that he’s excited he could
help those who are suffering.
Richie Sambora said he “had to
hold back tears” when he visited
New Jersey and saw the devastation.
“My mom’s house (in Point Pleasant, N.J.) got trashed. They had to
evacuate her. She’s living with me
until we fix it up.”
Most of the acts performed about
four tunes. McCartney performed
for 40 minutes and The Who were
onstage for 30. They weaved Sandy
into their set, showing pictures of
storm devastation on video screens
during “Pinball Wizard.” Pete Townshend made a quick revision to the
lyrics of “Baba O’Riley,” changing “teenage wasteland” to “Sandy
wasteland.”
