THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 22, 2011 www.mydailysentinel.com County enters fourth quarter with positive economic developments $121,916 — was one of the biggest in three years. Ihle said an addendum to the county’s contract with the Ohio Public Defender has allowed the county to save some additional money it would have spent to provide legal counsel for accused felons. The contract allows 11 such appointments a month, and that saves the county money because the original contract approved earlier this year allowed only misdemeanor client representation at the negotiated rate. “We have definitely gained some ground as the year has progressed,” said Ihle, who just entered office last year. “With the increased revenue, we have been able to get caught up on some oustanding bills, and with cooperation of department heads and elected MHS homecoming candidates announced Two more face charges for heroin trafficking BY BRIAN J. REED BREED@MYDAILYSENTINEL.COM POMEROY — Meigs County’s general operating fund will likely end 2011 in better condition than it did a year ago. As the county enters the fourth quarter of its fiscal year, county commissioners see several positive economic indicators. As they began the year, commissioners were forced to implement sev- eral cuts in departmental appropriations — as much as 10 percent in some cases — and mentioned the possibility of layoffs and other dire measures to balance the budget. Commissioner Tim Ihle said Wednesday the commissioners have seen a number of positive economic developments as the year has progressed. Collection of real estate taxes — for the first half, especially — was higher than expected. Local government revenue from the state, for a while under threat of cuts, has been maintained. The costs of providing representation for indigent felony defendants has been lower than in years past. Sales tax proceeds have been on the rise, in general.

Chamber updated on National Guard, Reserves: Upcoming events planned BY BETH SERGENT POMEROY – The Meigs County Chamber of Commerce’s BusinessMinded Luncheon series continued this month with a presentation on upcoming events and how employers can support employees who belong to the US Army National Guard or Reserve. John Debonis of the Employer Support of the Guard and Reserve (ESGR) made the trip from St. Clairsville to discuss the organization and how it benefits not only those who serve in the military but those who employ them. Debonis said the goal of ESGR is to support America’s employers who share their employees with the US Department of Defense – these relationships ensure national security, Debonis said. How ESGR supports these relationships is to educate employers on the military and to resolve job-related conflicts which sometimes arise when military personnel must go on mandatory leave. ESGR personnel act as a confidential, neutral liaison for employers and employees who seek assistance or clarification regarding their rights and responsibilities. Those seeking assistance can call 1-800-336-4590 or See Chamber, A2 139th Gymanfa Sunday at Oak Hill A gathering of Welsh descendants BY CHARLENE HOEFLICH High: 77 Low: 59 HOEFLICH@MYDAILYSENTINEL.COM INDEX 1 SECTION — 8 PAGES Classifieds Comics Editorials Sports A6-7 A5 A4 A7-8 © 2011 Ohio Valley Publishing Co. See County, A2 POMEROY – Many years ago when the Welsh pioneers from Syracuse, N. Y. came to the Bend area to work in the mines here, they brought with them their Bibles and their tradition of religious festivals which featured gospel singing and preaching. Many settled in Minersville and the area above which they called Syracuse. One of their festival traditions was “Gymanfa.” It is still observed today and Sunday, Sept. 25, the 139th annual Gymanfa of the Central Southeast Ohio Association of Welsh Congregational Churches will be held at the WelshAmerican Heritage Museum, formerly the Welsh Congregational Church, located at 415 East Main Street in Oak Hill. Morning services will start at 10:30 a.m. followed by a catered luncheon at noon and an See Gymanfa, A2 Welsh-American Heritage Museum POMEROY — Two more have been arrested for trafficking in heroin, a drug that is becoming more common in the community, according to the head of the county’s Major Crimes Task Force. Matt Hinkle, 44, and April Coppick, 25, both of Laurel Cliff Road, Pomeroy, appeared in Meigs County Court on charges of trafficking in heroin. Their cases were dismissed for consideration by the Meigs County Grand Jury. Hinkle is expected to plead to a bill of information in Common Pleas Court. According to Capt. Steven Kane of the task force, the latest arrests are an indication that heroin use and trafficking are on the rise locally. He said Wednesday the emphasis on drug enforcement has necessarily moved from powder cocaine and marijuana to heroin and prescription medications.

This fun, pet-friendly Halloween-themed event will showcase the Meigs SWCD Conservation Area, which is located on New Lima Road between Rutland and Harrisonville. “This will not be your typical 5K road race; for one thing there aren’t any roads,” said race director Jim Freeman, wildlife specialist with the Meigs SWCD. Competitors in this Halloween-themed race will run or walk on trails, through woods, up and down steep hills in whatever conditions Mother Nature dishes out.

Commissioners began this year with a nearly non-existent cash carryover, and Ihle said it is likely, barring any unforseen yearend expenses, that the general fund will carry over a healthier balance. That carryover is important because it covers expenses in the first weeks of the year, until the first-half collections come into the general fund. “Can we gain enough to be in better condition at year’s end than we were a year before,” Ihle said. “We will be very close to breaking even, and in this difficult economic climate, that is something to be pleased about.” afternoon service starting at 1 p.m. Preaching the morning session will be the Rev. Robert Hughes of Akron returning for his 11th year as speaker. Jay Williams, from Clinton, N.Y., will serve as chorister for the festival and has selected many familiar Welsh hymns to be sung in four-part harmony by the audience. Williams who has been involved with Welsh activities in Central New York for many years and has written two books on Welsh Americans, will be the afternoon speaker. The trustees of the Gymanfa are inviting not only those of Welsh ancestry but others to the day-long festival of music and preaching. The history of the arrival of Welshmen in Southeastern Ohio dates back to 1818 when six families set sail from Aberaeron, Wales for the United States. After their journey across the Atlantic they hired covered wagons for another long and hazardous trek across the mountains to Pittsburg, and from there placed their meager possessions on crude rafts for the journey down the Ohio River. The story goes that after traveling 250 miles they ran out of provisions and tied up their rafts and went ashore in the Bend area, to finally settle in Meigs, Gallia and Jackson Counties. The purpose for establishing the Heritage Museum many years ago was to foster Welsh family ties, to collect and preserve artifacts, to keep the Welsh culture and traditions alive in the area, an to preserve the old Welsh Congregational building. Heroin From Page A1 Kane said there are at least 10 heroin cases now pending in the county. In July, a Columbus man and a Waverly, W.Va. woman were arrested and charged with selling heroin, and 30 packets of the drug were seized. Others allegedly involved in trafficking in heroin are charged in secret indictments but have not yet been served, Kane said. “It is a growing problem and one of great concern for the community,” Kane said. “We are not seeing as much of a problem with cocaine and other drugs as we did in previous years, but the problems now are more serious, and include not only heroin but prescription drug abuse and trafficking as well.” Kane said additional charges could be filed against Hinkle and Coppick.

Debonis said staff at ESGR work to build partnerships to reduce conflict. Debonis said in Ohio, where he is an ESGR volunteer in the Eastern region, there are very few employee/employer conflicts that don’t get resolved through ESGR mediation. In closing, Debonis encouraged employers to hire military personnel because of their training and work ethic. Debonis also asked those attending the luncheon to sign a statement of support for ESGR to display for visitors to see when entering their businesses – this statement of support can be found online at www.esgr.mil.

Obama, Europeans press Palestinians to drop UN bid UNITED NATIONS (AP) — Furiously scrambling to head off a U.N. showdown, the United States warned world leaders Wednesday that trying to create a Palestinian nation by simple decree instead of through hard negotiations is bound to fail as a shortcut to peace with Israel. Europeans pressed to defuse the dispute, too, France urging new talks within a month. Undeterred, the Palestinians pressed toward a formal bid for U.N. recognition that could bring the issue to a head on Friday. The Israeli-Palestinian conflict, seen as a defining test of peace in modern times, overwhelmed other matters as members of the world body watched a crisis deepen before them. A frustrated President Barack Obama declared to U.N. members that "there are no shortcuts" to peace, and he implored Israelis and Palestinians to restart direct talks. His influence limited and his hopes for a peace deal long stymied, Obama didn't directly call on the Palestinians to drop their bid for recognition from the U.N. Security Council. But the U.S. threat to veto any such U.N. action loomed unmistakably. "Peace will not come through statements and resolutions at the United Nations," Obama told delegates. "If it were that easy, it would have been accomplished by now." French President Nicolas Sarkozy backed a different solution to defuse the diplomatic crisis. He would have the Palestinians seek a lesser form of recognition at the U.N., while joining new peace talks with Israel. Sarkozy supported an observer state status for Palestine but not full U.N. membership for now. That idea would head off a Security Council vote and veto that he said would risk "engendering a cycle of violence in the Middle Page A3 East." The French president proposed a one-year timetable for Israel and the Palestinians to reach an accord. At the heart of the fight, Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu pursued support from other leaders but not each other. Various mediators searched for consensus for a diplomatic solution to preclude the showdown and revive peace talks. Netanyahu thanked Obama for defending Israel, which fears that a Palestinian state drawn by the U.N. would include borders leaving the Jewish state vulnerable to attack. The United States is Israel's staunchest defender in demanding that direct talks are the only means to Palestinian statehood, a position that leaves Obama arguing against fast world endorsement of a Palestinian homeland he has repeatedly said he supports. Palestinian senior aide Saeb Erekat said the pursuit of full U.N. membership would not be slowed: "We will not allow any political maneuvering on this issue," he said Beyond the public eye, U.S. and other officials began to concede that an effort to deter Palestinians from bringing the matter before the world body had failed, and the so-called Quartet of Mideast peace mediators worked on a deal intended to address the longstanding concerns of both sides. The Quartet consists of the United States, the European Union, the United Nations and Russia. Under the compromise plan, the Quartet would issue a statement in which Israel would have to accept its pre-1967 Mideast War borders, with land exchanges, as the basis for a two-state solution, and the Palestinians would have to recognize Israel's Jewish character if there was to be a deal, officials close to the talks said. The officials spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss ongoing diplomacy. European officials, supported by the U.S., were outlining the compromise agreement to the Israeli and Palestinian governments and asking for tough concessions from each. The Palestinians would petition the United Nations Security Council on Friday, as expected, but would agree not to press for action on the request for statehood recognition for a year, or would withdraw it later. That would allow Abbas to save face and prevent an embarrassing defeat that might empower his Fatah party's rival faction, the militant Islamic group Hamas, which is considered a terrorist group by Israel and the United States. In the 15-member Security Council, approval of a resolution requires nine "yes" votes and no veto by a permanent member ‚Äî the U.S., Russia, China, Britain and France. If the resolution gets fewer than nine votes, it would be defeated without the U.S. having to use its veto. While the Palestinians' full membership bid would meet with a certain U.S. veto in the Security Council, assuming there were enough votes to have it approved, they still would have succeeded in bringing the issue back to the forefront of the world's political discussions after years of failed negotiations, bickering and sporadic outbreaks of violence. Short of a full request for statehood recognition at the U.N. Security Council, the Palestinians could also seek a lesser form of recognition by the larger U.N. General Assembly, where they have overwhelming support. Sarkozy called for Israelis and Palestinians to return to talks in one month with no preconditions ‚requiring an enormous leap of faith from both sides‚with six months to work out the issues of borders and security that have divided them for decades. He called for a peace accord within a year. A senior European Union official said the proposal laid out by Sarkozy matched one by EU foreign policy chief Catherine Ashton during a meeting with EU foreign ministers on Tuesday. The official spoke on condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the discussions. The proposal outlined by Sarkozy received a warmer welcome from the Palestinians than Obama's comments, which elicited stern looks from the Palestinian delegation. "Ultimately, it is the Israelis and the Palestinians, not us, who must reach agreement on the issues that divide them," Obama said. Were the Palestinians to bow to the ideas of Obama and Sarkozy, they would become a nonmember observer state at the U.N. That would give them an opportunity to seek membership in U.N. agencies and to join treaties, including possible access to the International Criminal Court. There, Palestinians could press legal claims against Israel for alleged abuses as an occupier. Obama blitzed through a day of diplomacy that was appropriately bracketed by individual meetings with Netanyahu and Abbas.

She is an only child and gets a lot of attention, but I don’t want to spoil her. She has developed a very annoying behavior, and by giving in I am afraid I have created a monster! She absolutely refuses to wear regular clothes — she spends a lot of time in frilly dresses, tutus, striped leggings, crazy hats and other “dress-up” things we’ve accumulated. When school starts, I anticipate a real battle. Help! — D.N. Dear D.N.: It’s always good to give a child choices, and instead of thinking about this situation in terms of spoiling or monsters, you need to take a deep breath and look at things through a slightly different prism. Suppose you start thinking of your little girl as creative, free-spirited and imaginative? You have provided her with all the tools she needs to do her own thing — and yet when she does it, you have a negative reaction. By forcing her to conform, you may be teaching her to stifle the fun outlook on life that she is developing. But it would be nice to find a happy medium, I agree. I understand your concerns about school and the need to get her into some simple T-shirts and shorts or jeans. When she sees what her friends are wearing, she may be willing to modify her look, and if you take her shopping and let her pick out her special school clothes with your guidance, she may respond with enthusiasm. Give her a choice of two or three outfits that she can mix and match. The key is to let her have free expression within guidelines you can control — without the negativity you are sending her way at the moment. I’m sure this will resolve itself if you don’t make it a huge power struggle. Enjoy your child and her individuality, and let her know that she still can dress up when she’s at home or being the life of the party. Dear Dr. Brothers: I am feeling pretty bad about something I didn’t do. I heard from one of my aunts a few months ago. She wrote me a letter saying she was diagnosed with a type of can- Dr. Joyce Brothers cer that is very serious. I haven’t seen this aunt for years and am busy with my own family, but I wrote back to her three times and then I just stopped. I was told by a cousin that she died yesterday, and now I am feeling so guilty about abandoning her. How will I forgive myself? — R.P. Dear R.P.: I can understand why you are suffering after hearing about the death of your aunt. Not only are you sad, the way anyone would be who loses a loved one, but you also were hit with immediate pangs of guilt because you didn’t write that last letter. I think after a while you will start to realize, though, that you did the best you could and that the letters you did write probably were of comfort to a woman who was trying to have some closure of her own. Since you weren’t really close, she probably understood that you weren’t going to go to extraordinary measures to stay in touch with her up to the end. And because of her serious illness and the deterioration of her health, she might not even have been aware that you had dropped the ball. Your situation is a variation of the one many of us find ourselves in when someone we care for dies. Most of the time the death is unexpected, and we truly don’t have time to say goodbye or write letters about our lives together. You at least had enough of a warning to get out the pen and paper and make a difference, even if you didn’t follow through. If you can stay in touch with other relatives and try to put an emphasis on extended family in her honor, I think your guilt gradually will give way to a sense of peace. Feds: Full Tilt Poker site was Ponzi scheme NEW YORK (AP) — An Internet poker company that was blocked from operating in the U.S. in the spring as part of an online gambling crackdown was “not a legitimate poker company, but a global Ponzi scheme,” federal prosecutors said Tuesday. The popular Full Tilt Poker website illegally raided player accounts to fund operations and make lavish payments to its owners, Justice Department lawyers said in a revised civil lawsuit filed in New York. Over four years, the company used $444 million in player money to pay board members, including wellknown professional poker players Christopher Ferguson and Howard Lederer, investigators said. The poker site had promised players that their accounts were protected and wouldn’t be touched. But authorities say that, as of March, the company had only $60 million left in its bank accounts to cover the $390 million it owed to players. It routinely mingled player money with its own finances, and took cash from some customers to pay out winnings due to others, prosecutors said. “Full Tilt was not a legitimate poker company, but a global Ponzi scheme,” U.S. Attorney Preet Bharara said in a statement. “Not only did the firm orchestrate a massive fraud against the U.S. banking system, as previously alleged, Full Tilt also cheated and abused its own players to the tune of hundreds of millions of dollars.” Community Calendar Thursday, Sept. 22 POMEROY - The Meigs Soil and Water Conservation District Board of Supervisors, regular monthly meeting 11:30 a.m. at the district office at 33101 Hiland Road.

There’s no adult in charge. Clinton would never have made these mistakes.” Put aside the misbegotten nostalgia for Bill Clinton, whose new status as an elder statesman wipes from memory his bouts of reckless immaturity. The Summers comment (subsequently denied, of course) stands as the best summation of the current occupant of the White House, who constantly congratulates himself on his highminded leadership without exercising any. Barack Obama has prided himself on his courage in offering painful entitlement reforms behind closed doors. Cynics thought Obama’s courage would desert him as soon as he had to reveal his proposals in the light of day. After Obama’s latest budget speech, the cynics must be doing cartwheels. On Social Security? Nothing. On Medicare? He insists he’ll veto any changes in benefits unless they are coupled with tax increases that won’t pass Congress. We’re left with technical adjustments to Medicare and Medicaid. Of $4.4 trillion in deficit reduction, $1.1 trillion of it is from inevitable reduced expenditures in Afghanistan and Iraq. That makes fully a quarter of his plan a gimmick. He gets another $1.2 trillion from the cuts enacted in the debt-limit deal. So, fully half of his bold plan is accounted for by savings already baked in the cake. The action in Obama’s proposal is the $1.5 trillion in tax increases. Rich Lowry When you subtract the estimated $430 billion in (highly speculative) savings from reduced interest payments over time, he wants about a 3-1 ratio of tax increases to new spending cuts. Because he can offer no reliable assurance that government health-care costs won’t keep escalating despite his new bureaucratic controls, the only thing certain in the Obama plan is higher taxes. He insists he’ll veto any changes in benefits unless they are coupled with tax increases that won’t pass Congress. Ever since Walter Mondale’s debacle in 1984, Democrats have been chary of embracing new taxes. President Obama now wants to emblazon them on his battle flag. There’s a certain logic to it. Taxes on the rich are the only deficit-reduction measure that his base can abide, and they poll well. Obama clearly thinks that wielding Warren Buffett’s support for higher taxes on “millionaires and billionaires,” as Obama invariably puts it, is a rhetorical clincher. Except what Obama supports is raising taxes on people who are paupers compared with the Sage of Omaha. Half of Obama’s tax increase is allowing the Bush tax cuts on upper-income The Daily Sentinel Reader Services (USPS 213-960) Correction Policy Ohio Valley Publishing Co.

That reaches couples making $250,000 a year. If Buffett wants to put his money where his mouth is, he should give away all his wealth, move with his wife to the suburbs of New York, Washington or San Francisco, adopt a few young kids and live on income of $250,000 a year. Once he has to worry about expenses again, he might not appreciate being lumped with “millionaires and billionaires.” Even the Obama tax increases are dubious. The Bush tax cuts are scheduled to expire in full at the end of next year. If President Obama plans to preserve the bulk of them on the middle class while only letting the slice on the top expire, that’s really a $2.3 trillion tax cut compared with current law. The balance of Obama’s new revenue is from loophole closings he wants as part of an epic, but unspecified, tax reform. President Obama’s plan isn’t serious and isn’t meant to be taken seriously. It’s mood music. He merely wants something to say when asked how he’ll pay for his $447 billion jobs bill that also has no chance of passing Congress. The most he can hope for now is shifting some of the blame for the economy. In his new guise as a populist crusader, the president thinks he can lift himself above an increasingly discredited Washington. In his transparent gamesmanship and self-evident impotence, he’s actually keeping himself mired at its level. There’s no adult in the White House. We’re home alone. (Rich Lowry can be reached via e-mail: comments.lowry(@ nationalreview.com) (c) 2011 by King Features Syndicate ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. — These are the best of times, and the worst of times, for America’s debt collectors. The prolonged economic turmoil has created more opportunity than ever for the profession, even while making it harder than ever to get folks to pay up. A gathering of debt collectors in Atlantic City this week found many willing to work out payment plans with debtors in which payments of as little as $5 or $10 a month are acceptable. “It’s harder to collect than ever because people are in genuine hardship,” said Harry Strausser III, president of the MidAtlantic Collectors Association, who has his own collection agency in Bloomsburg, Pa. “With unemployment the way it is and the terrible foreclosures, people are having a harder time making ends meet. There’s more potential business, and we’re having a tougher time trying to collect it.” Also growing is the number of consumer complaints about debt collectors. The Federal Trade Commission says it receives more complaints from consumers about debt collectors than any other industry. Last year, it received 140,036 such complaints, up from 119,609 in 2009. “They called me three or four times a day, every day, asking all kinds of personal questions, like am I married, do I have custody of my kids, can my kids pay this bill?” Scott Tillman III, a 53year-old musician from Oroville, Calif., told The Associated Press in a telephone interview. He said he was harassed over an auto lease for a vehicle he returned to a dealership 15 years ago. Businesses nationwide placed $150 billion worth of debt with collection agencies last year, 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. The First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution Strausser said. Of that total, agencies were able to collect about $40 billion, a figure that has held roughly steady for the past three years. There are 4,100 debt collection agencies in the United States, employing nearly 450,000 people, and the industry expects to grow by as much as 26 percent over the next three years. The industry averages about 20 percent recovery on delinquent debt, Strausser said. Several decades ago, it averaged 30 percent. Sometimes that amount is shared on a contingency basis with the business to which a consumer owes money. Other times, a debt collection agency will buy debt from businesses at a discount and keep whatever it can pry from the debtor. That part of the industry has grown significantly in recent years, collectors said. The most common consumer complaints against debt collectors involved three big no-nos under federal law: calling a debtor repeatedly or constantly; misrepresenting the amount or status of a debt; and failing to notify consumers of their rights in writing. About half the complaints dealt with repeated calls from collectors. More than 20,000 people said debt collectors falsely threatened to have them arrested or seize their property, and more than 17,500 said collectors used profanity or abusive language on the phone. Nearly 4,200 consumers said a collector threatened them with violence if they did not pay up. “The way collection agencies try to get money from people who have less of it is to get more aggressive,” said Sergei Lemberg, a Connecticut attorney who represents debtors who feel harassed. “We get cases every day from people who have collection agencies calling them six, seven, 10 times a day. My own mother doesn’t call me three times a day.” Tillman, one of Lemberg’s clients, told the agency calling him that he did not owe the debt on the vehicle he had already returned. Under the law, when a consumer disputes a debt, the agency is supposed to investigate the situation and if the debt is not owed, halt further collection efforts. “Then the threats started,” he said. “They said, ‘We’re going to take it out of your Social Security.’ Because I’m black, they had someone who was black call me as if they knew me, saying, ‘Hey Scotty, man, when you gon’ give us our money, man?’ One day one of them called and said, ‘We’re coming down there and we’re going to put your ass in jail and take you for everything you’ve got.” Kevin McNeill, 26, of Modesto, Calif., also got threatening calls for a $500 debt he incurred after a divorce. He was willing to pay it in two monthly installments but said the collector insisted on everything up front. “I get this call at work, and this guy is just going off, calling me a thief, a criminal, and saying that the sheriff’s office would be there in 10 minutes to arrest me in front of my co-workers,” he told the AP by telephone. “Then he threatened to call the owner of the company and say, ‘Do you know you have a thief working in your finance department?’” Collectors interviewed this week in Atlantic City said such tactics, aside from being illegal, just don’t work. “Some agencies are into the intimidating side,” said Jeff Kotula, a manager with a Scranton, Pa., collection agency who trains others in acceptable techniques. “They try to scare people into paying. We don’t do that. We try to explain to people we’re helping them get their credit rating back.” The Daily Sentinel Ohio Valley Publishing Co. 111 Court Street Pomeroy, Ohio Phone (740) 992-2156 Fax (740) 992-2157 www.mydailysentinel.com Letters to the Editor Letters to the editor should be limited to 300 words.

The RedStorm, who were playing their first home game of the season, improved their overall mark to 6-0 with the win. URG was originally slated to open its home schedule on Sept. 6 against AldersonBroaddus, but the game had to be moved to nearby Point Pleasant High School because of wet grounds. “It was nice to finally get to play a real home game,” said URG head coach Scott Morrissey. “We’re almost to the end of September and we’re just now getting to play here. It seems like we’ve been the road warriors since day one. This was a good win against a quality opponent.” Rio Grande, which was once again ranked No. 3 in the latest NAIA Division I poll released earlier in the day, got the only goal it would need just over nine minutes into the contest and bolted to a 4-0 lead at the break. Junior forward Scott Bibby scored off of a crossing pass from De Fonte at the 9:04 mark and De Fonte added another assist on the first of Isberner’s two goals at 35:01 to make it 2-0. Senior midfielder Joel Thiessen found the net via a feed from freshman forward Kenny Doublette at 41:28 before Isberner scored again off another De Fonte assist just under two minutes later to give URG its commanding lead at the break. De Fonte set the final score, scoring off an assist from sophomore forward Orlando Zapata at 70:51. The RedStorm enjoyed a 17-5 edge in shots in a physical match which featured 46 fouls — 25 against Rio Grande and 21 against the Cougars. “It was a very physical game,” Morrissey said. “In my 22 years here, I can’t ever recall a scoreline like that in a game against Mount Vernon. We executed fairly well at times and took advantage of our scoring chances. We were pretty sound defensively, too.” Senior goalkeeper Jack Marchant recorded a pair of saves in the shutout win. Ryan Swartzentruber had five saves in a losing cause for MVNU (4-3). Rio Grande returns to action on Saturday, traveling to Houghton College for a 2 p.m. kickoff. RedStorm volleyball outlasts Shawnee State BY RANDY PAYTON SPECIAL TO OHIO VALLEY PUBLISHING P O RT S M O U T H , Ohio — The University of Rio Grande volleyball team coughed up a commanding lead, but rallied late to post a 32 road victory over Mid-South Conference rival Shawnee State University on Tuesday night. The RedStorm took the match by scores of 28-26, 25-18, 19-25, 18-25 and 15-8, improving to 10-6 overall and 3-0 in league play. Junior outside hitter Whitney Smith, the reigning Player of the Week in the MSC, had 13 kills, 15 digs and four service aces to fuel the winning effort, while junior middle blocker Erin Sherman chipped in with 15 kills and five blocks. Sophomore setter Kayla Landaker added a team-best 33 assists in the victory, while junior libero Lauren Raines had 23 digs and a pair of service aces. Sophomore defensive specialist Kelsey Martin also had 11 digs for URG, while freshman outside hitter Betsy Schramm was credited with six kills. Shawnee State slipped to 6-10 overall and 2-1 in the MSC. Rio Grande, which assumed the lead in the MSC’s East Division with the win, returns to action on Thursday night at Georgetown (Ky.) College. Match time is set for 7 p.m. Pac-12 says no further expansion NEW YORK (AP) — Twelve is enough for the Pac-12, putting the Big 12 in position to survive yet another round of conference realignment. The Pac-12 presidents and chancellors decided late Tuesday night not to expand. “After careful review we have determined that it is in the best interests of our member institutions, studentathletes and fans to remain a 12-team conf e r e n c e , ” Commissioner Larry Scott said in a statement. “While we have great respect for all of the institutions that have contacted us, and certain expansion proposals were financially attractive, we have a strong conference structure and culture of equality that we are committed to preserve.” Texas, Oklahoma, Oklahoma State and Texas Tech were considering a potential move from the Big 12 to the Pac-12. After expanding from the Pac-10 with new members Utah and Colorado last year, members of the new Pac12 decided not to stretch the league farther east. “We were not surprised by the Pac 12’s decision to not expand at this time,” Oklahoma President David Boren said. “Even though we had decided not to apply for membership this year, we have developed a positive relationship with the leadership of the conference and we have kept them informed of the progress we’ve been making to gain agreement from the Big 12 for changes which will make the conference more stable in the future. “Conference stability has been our first goal and we look forward to achieving that goal through continued membership in the Big 12 Conference.” Meanwhile, across the county in New York, Big East Commissioner John Marinatto emerged from a three-hour meeting with officials from the league’s football schools to say his members “pledged to each other that they are committed to move forward together.” The Big East also has been staring at an uncertain future after Pittsburgh and Syracuse announced last weekend they are moving to the Atlantic Coast Conference. But now it appears the Big East, like the Big 12, stands a good chance to survive, too — for now. Marinatto said all the league’s members — including Notre Dame and the seven other non-foot- ball members — are committed to aggressively recruiting replacements for Syracuse and Pittsburgh, though he would not indicate which schools are candidates. He said the league will enforce the 27-month notice agreement in its bylaws and not allow Syracuse and Pitt to leave until the 2014-15 academic year. He also said he expects TCU to join the league in 2012 as previously agreed upon. As for the Big 12, the board of regents at Texas and Oklahoma voted to give their presidents the right to choose a new conference. Oklahoma State’s regents have scheduled a special meeting Wednesday about conference realignment. Oklahoma State was going to follow Oklahoma’s lead and Texas Tech planned to do the same with Texas. Texas and Oklahoma were not acting together. Texas officials had stated several times it wanted to keep the Big 12 alive. Oklahoma officials said they were looking for stability and equal revenue sharing, which does not occur in the Big 12. Texas has its own cable television network. Now it appears the Longhorns and Sooners will have to figure out a way to continue to live with each other. A person familiar with the schools’ discussions said Texas and Oklahoma officials are expected to meet in the next few days to negotiate an agreement to keep the universities in the league for at least the next five years. The person requested anonymity because the meeting had not been announced. Whether other schools would be invited to join that meeting was unclear Tuesday night. Scott tried to bring Oklahoma and Texas into his conference last summer, but his bid to create a Pac-16 fell short when Texas decided to stay in the Big 12, in part to start its own network. Nebraska and Colorado did leave the Big 12, but Big 12 Commissioner Dan Beebe managed to keep the conference together. When the Longhorn Network became a reality, Texas A&M had had enough. A&M, which flirted with the Southeastern Conference last year, reached out to the SEC and ended up being invited to join that league earlier this month. That deal has not yet been finalized because some Big 12 members, such as Baylor and Iowa State, have not waived the right to possibly sue Texas A&M and the SEC. But if the Big 12 and its new 13-year, $1 billion television deal reached with Fox Sports in April survives, the exit should be clear for Texas A&M. And the rest of the Big 12 can go back to looking for a replacement. After the Pac-10 grew by two, adding Colorado and Utah from the Mountain West, the league negotiated a landmark 12year television contract with Fox and ESPN worth about $3 billion, allowing the conference to quadruple its media rights fees and start its own network. The university presidents decided they didn’t need to share their newfound wealth with more schools. “We have a very good situation and a bright future,” Stanford athletic director Bob Bowlsby said. It’s hard to say for sure if this will put an end to conference realignment for a while. Many thought after last summer’s maneuvering, things would settle down and that barely lasted a year. ACC Commissioner John Swofford has said his league is comfortable with 14 members, which it will have when Pitt and Thursday’s TV Listings Syracuse join, but is not “philosophically” opposed to expanding to 16. Despite their latest pledge to work together, the Big East still seems susceptible to another raid by the ACC. Adding UConn and possibly Rutgers, located in New Jersey, would allow the ACC to further extend its reach into the Northeast and New York City television market. The SEC will be up to 13 schools when Texas A&M’s move is finally official and even though it has said it can stay at the number, it seems logical to go to 14. West Virginia and Missouri have both been speculated to be candidates and there were reports earlier Tuesday that the SEC and Missouri had a tentative agreement. The SEC shot that down. “The Southeastern Conference has not agreed formally or informally to accept any institution other than Texas A&M, and there have not been conference discussions regarding changes in divisional alignments,” SEC associate commissioner Charles Bloom said. With Texas and Oklahoma still around, there might not be a reason for the Missouri to relocate. �A8 SPORTS LOCAL SCHEDULE POMEROY — A schedule of upcoming high school varsity sporting events involving teams from Meigs and Gallia counties.
