forecast is a “living, breathing document, which means
it is subject to change.”
He noted that the district
is financially better off this
year than last year because
funding in the state budget
did not get cut as much as
had been anticipated when
preparing last year’s forecast.
As for local tax revenue,
Rhonemus said the collection rate for current secondhalf of tax year 2010, billed
in 2011, was approximately
86 1/2 percent, about four
percent over the previous

year, which meant additional revenue for the district
from local taxes.
As for stimulus money

relied on for the past several
years has now dried up, the
treasurer noted that the the
Meigs District had reserved
some of it to go toward this

He predicted that revenue next year will be down

Point Pleasant Register the
engineer’s estimate for this

the scope of the work including resurfacing, widening and
paving the shoulders as well
as adding turn lanes. Three

road would be widening to
12-foot lanes with four-foot

about two-feet wide.
There are other U.S. 35

including the Buffalo Bridge

which should have plans
completed within a month.
Weiskeircher wrote Handley that DOH anticipates
receiving authorization for
construction in December
from the Federal Highway
Administration. Construction
is scheduled to begin also in
April 2012. Weiskeircher told
the Point Pleasant Register
this project has an engineer’s

Deficit
From Page 1

showed a decline of about
50 students. The revenue
coming from the state on a
per student basis is $7,500.
Rhonemus said the current
forecast does not reflect the
revenue decrease coming
from the declining enrollment.
On the matter of decreased school enrollment,
the question of cause was
discussed by the Board.
That discussion led to comments on other sources for
education – home schooling
, charter schools, e-schools
– and to some discussion by

the board on the quality of
education in some public
schools and the role funding plays.
As for the state’s funding
formula for education, Rhonemus stressed when referring to predictions in his
forecast that “everything is
subject to change,” adding
that the state revamps the
funding formula every year
leaving school districts at a
place where they cannot really tell what it will be.
He spoke of employee
concessions on contract
renewals and of a move

toward “shared services”
among the county schools
as a way of handling supply
contracts.
With the apparent elimination or reduction in stimulus funds Rhonemus said
the remainder of that money
is going this year into the
system – “chewing up the
stimulus balance this year.”
Michael Struble who
works on legislation with
the Ohio School Board
Association, spoke to the
Meigs Board on the pending House Bill 136 which
relates to legislation to ex-

pand the voucher program
used for schooling outside
the public school system.
If passed by the State
Legislature, the voucher
program would be expanded with funding to come
from the general fund and
levy money, Struble said.
He encouraged school
board members to write
their legislators with their
opinion on expanding the
voucher program and expressing their concern for
the effect it might have on
public school funding.

5-year-old backs car onto
Ohio street, calls 911
MANSFIELD, Ohio (AP)
— Authorities say a 5-year-old
looking for her mother in Ohio
backed a car out of the driveway,
then called 911 for help.
Mansfield police say Ameleah Kegley backed the car out
Monday evening after returning
from school to an empty house.
According to the Mansfield
News Journal, her mother had
gone to the hospital with an
emergency and her father never
got the message.
Worried that her mother
wasn’t home, Ameleah decided
to look for her and started her
mother’s 1999 Lincoln Navigator. It backed down the sloped
driveway and came to a stop on
grass across the street.
The girl dialed 911, explained the situation and asked
for quick help getting the car
back home, because she said her
mom would be upset with her.
Activists urge Ohio governor to ban exotic animals
COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) —
Activists urging Ohio officials
to prohibit ownership of exotic
animals say they believe such
a ban could have prevented the
deaths of four dozen tigers, lions
and other beasts that were freed
at a farm near Zanesville.
About a dozen supporters of
People for the Ethical Treatment
of Animals stood outside the
Statehouse on Wednesday with
signs bearing slogans such as
“Wild animals are not pets.”

The Daily Sentinel • Page 2

The gathering was spurred
by the shooting by authorities
of 48 animals released by a farm
owner last week before he committed suicide. Six other animals were captured and taken to
a zoo.
Ohio has some of the nation’s weakest restrictions on
exotic pets. Gov. John Kasich
has ordered temporary measures
regarding private ownership of
such animals while tougher laws
are drafted.
Crash closes 1 side of I-70
east of Columbus
JACKSONTOWN,
Ohio
(AP) — Ohio troopers say a
crash on Interstate 70 east of Columbus has kept one side of the
highway closed for hours.
The State Highway Patrol
says a semi hauling produce
rolled over early Wednesday,
spilling the truck’s diesel fuel
onto the westbound lanes of the
highway.
The accident stopped traffic
from going west on I-70 toward
Columbus from an area near the
Licking-Muskingum County
line. A dispatcher at the patrol’s
Zanesville post says vehicles
forced to detour were backed up
for miles at times.
The dispatcher says troopers
hoped to reopen the highway by
2 p.m.
Authorities tells multiple
media outlets that the truck’s
driver was taken to a hospital
with minor injuries.
Poll shows Herman Cain as
favored among Ohio GOP

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) —
A new poll shows businessman
Herman Cain rising to the top of
the Republican presidential field
among GOP voters in the battleground state of Ohio.
A Quinnipiac University poll
released Wednesday shows the
former Godfather’s Pizza executive favored by 28 percent
of Ohio Republican voters. Cain
was in the single digits in a similar survey last month.
Former Massachusetts Gov.
Mitt Romney is second with 23
percent.
Both Cain and Romney have
visited Ohio in recent weeks.
The poll has Texas Gov. Rick
Perry trailing Texas congressman Ron Paul and former U.S.
House Speaker Newt Gingrich.
President Barack Obama still
leads his potential GOP challengers, though most voters disapprove of the job he’s doing.
The poll of 1,668 registered
voters has a margin of error of
2.4 percentage points.
Justices could talk health
care cases on Nov. 10
WASHINGTON (AP) —
The Supreme Court could decide as early as Nov. 10 whether
to hear a challenge to President
Barack Obama’s health care
overhaul this term.
Federal appeals court rulings on health care from Atlanta,
Cincinnati and Richmond are on
the agenda for the justices’ private conference on Nov. 10.
If they agree then to hear any
or all of those cases, the decision

The Daily Sentinel

would be announced that day or
when the court meets in public
session the following Monday.
Such a timetable would allow
the court to hear arguments over
the health care law in late March
and would give the justices three
months to craft their opinions.
The central issue is whether
the requirement for individuals
to buy insurance or pay a penalty is constitutional.
Foes seek halt to creation
of new Ohio jobs board
COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) —
Two Democratic state lawmakers and a liberal policy group
fighting Gov. John Kasich’s new
job-creation board have asked
a Franklin County judge to halt
administration efforts to get the
panel up and running.
Sen. Mike Skindell, Rep.
Dennis Murray and ProgressOhio filed for preliminary injunction Wednesday. They’re asking
Judge Laurel Beatty to prohibit
Kasich’s development director
from firing anyone, or transferring any more money or authority to JobsOhio until their legal
challenge is resolved.
The suit challenges the law
creating the privatized ninemember board of gubernatorial
appointees to handle economic
development deals.
Plaintiffs argue it’s illegal for
JobsOhio to invest state money
in private companies and to pass
bills granting special corporate
powers. Kasich pushed JobsOhio as a way to speed up state
business dealings amid high unemployment.

Boy and scouts don’t mix Meigs County
Dear Dr. Brothers: My
daughter has always been a
quiet little thing. She spends
a great deal of time in her
bedroom, and she doesn’t
have a big group of friends,
just a couple. Now that she
is 15, we have talked about
driving, going out with
boys, etc., and I am willing to give her a reasonable
amount of freedom. But she
doesn’t ask for anything,
doesn’t seem to care and is
quieter than ever. How do I
break through her reserve?
— L.O.
Dear L.O.: It sounds
like you are looking forward to a happy teenage
experience more than your
daughter is — in fact, it
sounds like you are a good
mom who is having a hard
time fitting your daughter’s
style and personality into
your realm of understanding. You have an idea of
the things she SHOULD
be interested in at her age,
yet she doesn’t seem to be
on the same page. Since she
is naturally reserved, it may
take some doing to get her
to open up to you, so don’t
be pushy. Try to engage her
in a mother-daughter activity — take her to lunch or

LEBANON,
Ohio
(AP) — Former students
of an ex-high school
teacher accused in southwest Ohio of having sex
with teen boys testified
at her trial Wednesday
that she was a supportive
advocate who kept appropriate boundaries.
Mason High School
graduate Tyler Walton,
now of Fort Myers, Fla.,
said defendant Stacy
Schuler offered a helping hand after his mother
died and he struggled
with sexual orientation.
“Ms. Schuler was
kind of like my surrogate
mother throughout my
high school career,” he
testified before Warren
County Common Pleas
Judge Robert Peeler.
“She helped me realize
I am an amazing person
and my life is worth living.”
Schuler, 33, is accused
of having sex with five
students, some football
players, at her Springboro
home in 2010. She had

been a teacher and athletic trainer at the school
since 2000. Earlier this
year an anonymous tip
triggered an investigation
by administrators.
She has pleaded not
guilty by reason of insanity. Her lawyers argue she
had medical and psychological issues and doesn’t
remember the alleged incidents and that students
took advantage of her.
She could go to prison
for decades, if convicted.
Five teens have testified to having sexual
encounters with Schuler, saying she had been
drinking alcohol at the
time and was a willing
participant who initiated
much of the contact.
On Wednesday, Schuler received hugs in a full
courtroom from students
who came to testify on
her behalf.
It’s likely the trial will
wrap up Thursday. Schuler is not expected to testify.

Towns see crime, carousing Message: Bake a bigger
surge amid gas boom
Occu(pie)
By Marc Levy

Associated Press
TOWANDA, Pa. (AP) —
In a modern-day echo of the
raucous Old West, small towns
enjoying a boom in oil and gas
drilling are seeing a sharp increase in drunken driving, bar
fights and other hell-raising,
blamed largely on an influx of
young men who find themselves
with lots of money in their pockets and nothing to do after they
get off work.
Authorities in Pennsylvania
and other states are quick to
point out that the vast majority of workers streaming in are
law-abiding. But they also say
the drilling industry has brought
with it a hard-working, harddrinking,
rough-and-tumble
element that, in some places,
threatens to overwhelm law enforcement.
Some police departments
are trying to hire more officers
but are hard-pressed to compete
with the industry for applicants.
“On one hand, we need to
count our blessings,” said Sheriff Scott Busching of Williams
County, N.D. “On the other
hand, we need to see if we can
control this so it isn’t chickens
one day and feathers the next.
… We have come to the point
here where we’re almost overwhelmed. It’s very close.”
In Bradford County, Pennsylvania’s most heavily drilled
county in the 3-year-old rush
to tap the Marcellus Shale, the
nation’s largest-known natural
gas reservoir, the stream of men
from Texas, Oklahoma, Louisiana and elsewhere has been
accompanied by increases in
arrests, traffic violations, protection-from-abuse orders and
warrants issued for people who
don’t show up in court, law enforcement officials said.
In the heart of western North
Dakota’s oil patch, driving under
the influence and assaults have
spiked after thousands of workers descended on the area and
settled in apartments and trailer
villages known as “man camps.”
Southwestern
Wyoming’s
booming gas fields also have
seen a rise in rowdy behavior.
“We definitely do drink a lot.
I ain’t going to lie,” said Jordon
Bourque, a 23-year-old pipe inspector from Lafayette, La., who
was drinking beer at a bar in the
Williamsport, Pa., area one recent night.
But he said that many in the
industry obey the law and that
authorities in Pennsylvania have
less tolerance for troublemakers
than police in small-town Texas,
where rig workers are used to
raising hell and getting a pass
from law enforcement.
“You can do that (stuff) and
get away with it,” Bourque said.
In Pennsylvania, “they look at it
totally different.”
Leaving a diner in Towanda

in northern Pennsylvania, Jason
Phillips, a 30-year-old drillingequipment supervisor from
Coldspring, Texas, said the
problem is not really the drilling
industry — “it’s young people
making a lot of money.” As for
himself, he said, “I’m not too
much of wild person.”
The boom in drilling has
been made possible by horizontal drilling and hydraulic fracturing, or fracking, a technique that
cracks open rock layers to free
natural gas. Large numbers of
workers are needed to operate
drilling equipment, drive trucks,
handle chemicals, lay pipeline
and perform other tasks.
The hours are long. Some
employees put in two weeks
on, two weeks off. But entrylevel laborers or truck drivers
can make $40,000 or more,
while workers on the drilling
rigs can easily pull down twice
that. Their employers often pick
up the tab for hotels, meals and
practically everything else.
In Sweetwater County, Wyo.,
where natural gas exploration
boomed about a decade ago,
the population increased from
37,600 in 2000 to 43,800 in
2010, and arrests for drunkenness, drugs and DUI more than
doubled from 603 in 2000 to a
peak of 1,535 in 2008, according
to state figures.
Since then, the numbers have
eased to 1,128 in 2010, a decline
that sheriff’s spokesman Detective Dick Blust Jr. credited to the
sluggish national economy.
In Pennsylvania’s Bradford
County, DUI arrests by state
troopers are on track to rise 40
percent this year after climbing
60 percent last year, District
Attorney Dan Barrett said. The
number of sentences handed out
for criminal offenses was up 35
percent in 2010, he said.
Sheriff Clinton Walters said
his officers are handling about
a 25 percent increase from last
year in everything from warrants
for people who fail to appear in
court to protection-from-abuse
orders. The flood of arrests is
such that his office’s van is no
longer big enough to transport
all the inmates at once from jail
to court, Walters said.
Stories abound about friction
between locals and out-of-towners, whether road rage incidents
or fights over women.
Renee Daly, 27, of Montrose,
Pa., said she knows of at least
three marriages that ended when
local women abandoned their
husbands for gas-field workers.
It’s “because of these Southern gentlemen, with their Southern accents, and the girls move
in with these guys to take care
of them,” she said. “You get to
spend their money, and they’re
gone two weeks at a time.”
Wearing a T-shirt emblazoned “My Indian name is
crawling drunk,” Jeanette Pratt,

a title searcher from Monroe,
La., who travels the country for
the gas industry and was on assignment recently in Montrose,
said the difference is that the
out-of-town rig workers “have
a lot more money to party with”
than the locals.
In the North Dakota boomtown of Williston, some bars
have become rough, and the
number of domestic-disturbance
calls and arrests for such crimes
as DUI, assault and theft in just
the first half of 2011 was twice
the total for all of 2010, said
Busching, the sheriff.
Busching and Williston police are scrambling to hire but
say they can’t pay enough for
their new officers to afford the
high rents, and many would-be
local applicants have opted for a
higher paycheck in the drilling
industry.
“I have increased staff, and
I’m going to increase again, but I
can’t until I find a place for them
to live,” Busching said. Williston Police Capt. Tom Ladwig
said he has been hiring from police academies in Minnesota and
has officers staying on couches
in colleagues’ apartments until
they can find their own places.
Doctors are treating more patients for chlamydia, a sexually
transmitted disease, in some of
the biggest oil-producing counties in western North Dakota
— 237 cases in 2010 compared
with 145 in 2008 — although
the state’s disease-control chief,
Kirby Kruger, said that it is difficult to call three years of data a
real trend.
There are also rumors of
prostitution.
In rural southern Texas,
where exploration for oil and
gas in the Eagle Ford Shale is
just getting under way, Robert
Garza, police chief in the town
of Dilley, said he has heard
talk about plans to build a club
“down in the boonies” that
would supply prostitutes to drilling industry workers.
Police departments in the
area have reported unusual activity in recent months: early
morning traffic stops with
“very young, attractive girls in
BMWs” from the Houston area,
at least a five-hour drive from
Dilley, Garza said.
Back in Pennsylvania, a
Bradford County commissioner,
Doug McLinko, said the crime
spike doesn’t change his mind
about the importance of the drilling boom to the local economy.
Other states, he said, would “cut
an arm off” to have such a surge.
“I’m always a little apprehensive about painting this as a
big problem around the county,
because it just isn’t,” McLinko
said. “A lot of these people are
really well-behaved. … To a
large degree, is it out control or
a major issue? Absolutely not.”

With the various Occupy
Wall Street demonstrations,
talk of economic and social
fairness is in the air. Demonstrators are complaining
about the vast inequalities
in wealth and political influence between the rich 1 percent or so and the remaining
99 percent.
Are the complaints morally legitimate? A key point
must be made. Wealth (and
influence) inequality per se
does not mean unfairness.
One analogy is the classroom. Inequality of grades
does not imply unfairness.
How those grades are acquired matters.
Similarly, there can be
unequal, yet fair, wealth distributions. How the wealth
inequalities are arrived at
matters. If obtained through
reasonably equal social opportunities (and no cheating), then wealth inequalities might well be fair.
Are wealth inequalities
in the United States obtained through a reasonably
equal opportunity process?
Unfortunately the an-

swer is no. Wealthier kids
start off with numerous
advantages — in terms
of nutrition, safety, emotional support, intellectual
stimulation, access to better
schools, etc. Not by accident, most wealthy kids end
up wealthy adults, and most
poorer kids end up poorer
adults.
Reducing this opportunities gap is possible within a
free-market setting. A free
market produces winners
and losers— and wealthier
and poorer classes. Yet if
the competition is initially
fair, there will be little cause
for indignation. To make the
competition fair, some of a
free-market system’s wealth
must go to create and maintain the equal opportunity
conditions for each generation of children.
As the philosopher John
Rawls put it, a key way of
telling if a social wealth gap
is fair is to see if it is better
at helping the worst off than
alternative social arrangements. If a wealth gap is
the best way of helping the
worst off, then that wealth

gap is fair (even if large).
Clearly
the
current
wealth inequalities in this
country do not fare well on
Rawls’ test. Our wealth gap
does not sufficiently help
the worst off, in terms of
opportunities. The wealth
gaps in countries like Canada or Norway do much better. Social mobility is currently much greater in those
countries.
Can our current partial
free-market system improve these equal-access
conditions? Sure, but large
interests stand in the way.
These improvements are at
the heart of what the protesters want. They may lash
out at obscene symptoms of
unfairness — such as the
rich co-opting government
to bail out “too big too fail”
investments, or GE’s paying few if any taxes, or huge
spending on crazy wars. But
these are only symptoms
and tipping points.

DETROIT (AP) —
Members of the United
Auto Workers union approved a new four-year
labor contract with Chrysler on Wednesday, though
many voted against the pact.
Overall, about 55 percent of workers casting ballots voted for the contract
and 45 percent opposed it.
Salaried and production
workers across the U.S. favored the deal, but skilled
trades workers such as
electricians and pipe fitters
voted it down. So under the
union’s Constitution, the
executive board made the
final decision to ratify the
pact.
The approval means that
all three Detroit automakers have signed deals with
the union and labor peace is
likely at least through September of 2015.
Under the deals, most
workers at Chrysler, Ford
and General Motors won’t
get pay raises. But they’ll
get signing bonuses, profit
sharing and other payments.
The deals also promise at
least 13,000 new jobs at all
three companies and give
raises to a entry-level workers who make about half
the pay of longtime UAW
members.
About 56 percent of
skilled trades workers voted
against the contract, forcing the executive board to
review the deal. The board,
meeting by teleconference
on Wednesday, declared the
contract ratified after determining that skilled trades
workers voted against it
mainly for economic reasons that weren’t unique to
their jobs.
Under the Constitution,
skilled trades issues can be
separated from the rest of

the union, but only if the
issues are specific to their
work.
“Skilled trades can’t
override production,” UAW
President Bob King said.”
It’s whatever the majority
votes on the overall contract, the overall economics
of the contract.”
The union and Chrysler
reached a tentative agreement on the new contract
Oct. 12, and Chrysler
Group LLC’s 26,000 union
workers finished voting on
the deal Tuesday night.
The Chrysler deal includes a $3,500 signing bonus, and its profit-sharing
checks are far lower than
workers will get at Ford
Motor Co. and General Motors Co. Ford’s signing bonus is $6,000, while GM’s
is $5,000. Chrysler Group
LLC has yet to make a fullyear profit since it emerged
from bankruptcy protection in 2009, while GM
and Ford have each made
billions. Chrysler needed
$12.5 billion in government
loans to survive bankruptcy.
The union was hampered
in negotiations because it
was barred from striking
over wages under the terms
of the company’s 2009 government bailout.
Chrysler hasn’t made an
annual profit since 2005.
The company earned $116
million in the first quarter,
its first quarterly net profit
in five years. But it lost
$370 million in the second
quarter, mostly because
of charges for refinancing
government debt. The company is likely to announce a
third-quarter profit when it
reports earnings on Friday.
Chrysler expects to earn
$200 million to $500 million this year, excluding the

debt charges. But the profit
is tiny compared with its
Detroit rivals. Ford reported
a profit of $6.6 billion last
year, while GM earned $4.7
billion.
The Chrysler deal promises up to 2,100 new jobs
and investment of $4.5 billion in U.S. factories.
King said Wednesday
that he doesn’t expect any
backlash from skilled trades
workers in Chrysler factories, but he conceded that
many workers are unhappy
with the contract.
“Money was a big, big
issue, especially because
they saw their sisters and
brothers at GM and Ford
getting a lot more,” King
said.
The union’s top priority
in the bargaining, King said,
was to gain investment and
jobs while protecting the
companies’ financial viability so they could make the
investments.
The contracts, reached
without strikes or arbitration, should help the union
in its efforts to organize
workers at U.S. factories
owned by foreign automakers, King said.
The UAW has made
progress with the companies in confidential discussions, he said, but he would
not identify which company
the UAW will focus on first.
Chrysler said in a statement that the deal will let
hourly employees share in
prosperity when Chrysler
achieves it.
“No one involved in the
bargaining process leading
to this agreement could forget about our near-death experience slightly more than
two years ago,” CEO Sergio
Marchionne said.

AEP 3Q earnings up 67 percent
on ruling, hot weather

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP)
— American Electric Power’s third-quarter net income
rose 67 percent, the company
reported Wednesday, thanks
to a favorable court ruling in
Texas and hot weather that
boosted electricity demand.
The company reported net
income of $928 million, or
$1.93 per share, compared
with $555 million, or $1.16 a
share, in same period a year
ago. AEP’s revenue for the
period rose to $4.3 billion
from $4.1 billion.
Waves of extreme heat
throughout the U.S. were
good for power demand and
for AEP, company executives
said.
“This was the warmest
quarter in over 30 years for
our West service areas, and
the seventh-warmest in the
last 30 years for our East
service territories,” Chief Financial Officer Brian Tierney
told analysts on a conference
call.
AEP said its results also
benefited from a Texas Supreme Court decision worth
$425 million that allowed
the company to recover some
costs related to retail competition.
Without the impact of that
ruling and other one-time
items, AEP reported ongoing
earnings of $566 million, or
$1.17 per share, compared
with $552 million, or $1.15
per share, during the third
quarter of 2010.
That still topped most
Wall Street expectations on
earnings, though revenue fell
short.
Analysts polled by FactSet expected the company
to earn, on average, $1.14
per share on revenue of $4.7
billion. Those estimates typically do not include special
items.
AEP’s stock rose 15 cents
to close at $38.80 Wednesday.
“All in all, the third quarter in almost any way that we
would measure it has been a
success for us, and we feel
very comfortable about that,”

said Michael Morris, chairman and CEO, addressing
analysts on the call for his final time as CEO, after eight
years. He is retiring from
that position Nov. 11 but
will remain chairman. AEP
announced on Tuesday that
company President Nicholas
Akins will succeed Morris as
CEO.
Morris said the quarter
provided AEP with evidence
of improvement in the economy, particularly an increase
in industrial sales due to increased production by power
customers in the metals and
refining industries. However,
in the conference call, he also
described a “very shaky economy, as compared to what we
saw in the latter part of 2010,
when things appeared to be
recovering.”
AEP and other power

companies have had a rough
recovery from a recession that
reduced demand for power,
especially from big industrial
customers that closed plants
and made other cutbacks.
AEP narrowed its fullyear forecast on Wednesday
and said it’s now looking for
annual ongoing earnings of
between $3.07 and $3.17 per
share. The previous range
was between $3 and $3.20
per share. Analysts anticipate 2011 earnings of $3.13
a share.
“We, like others, are beginning to see more slowdown in the U.S., but we
feel comfortable that we will
be within the range,” Morris
said.
American Electric Power
Co. Inc., based in Columbus,
Ohio, serves about 5.3 million customers in 11 states.

Meigs County teams wrap
up 2011 regular season
By Sarah Hawley
and Bryan Walters

One team looking for a
playoff spot will bid farewell to its home field for the
final time, while Southern
and Eastern will faceoff in
the annual week 10 showdown on Saturday night.
All three Meigs County
teams will play in the county this weekend, with Meigs
and Southern at home
and Eastern on the road at
Southern.
Meigs will be playing
its final game at Bob Roberts Field, while still holding onto hope for a week 11
appearance. The Marauders will host Alexander in a
TVC Ohio contest. Southern will host Eastern on
Saturday evening in the final regular season game for
both teams.
Here’s a brief look at the
Week 10 games in Meigs
County
ALEXANDER
at
MEIGS
Meigs will bid farewell
to Bob Roberts Field on
Friday evening, as they play
their final home game at the
longtime Home of the Marauders.
Currently ranked ninth
in Division IV, Region 15,
the Marauders (6-3, 2-2
TVC Ohio) also have playoff hopes on the line Friday
as they host Alexander (6-3,
1-3 TVC Ohio) in a TVC
Ohio showdown. There are
three open playoff spots remaining in the region, with
teams ranked six through
eight — Ironton, Chesapeake and Indian Valley
— all controlling their own
destiny.
Meigs and 10th ranked
Piketon are also still mathematically alive for a week
11 trip, but the Marauders
will likely need some help.
A loss from any of the
teams ranked ahead of
Meigs would help, while
the Marauders could gain
points with wins by Southern (vs. Eastern), Fairland
(vs Rock Hill), River Valley
(at South Point) and Minford (vs Valley).
The Marauders have
won their last two games
— at Wellston (21-12) and
vs Vinton County (30-0) —
while Alexander has lost its
last three after opening the
season 6-0.
The Spartans won their
TVC Ohio opener against
Vinton County (1-8), but
have not won since. Alexander was defeated by
Wellston (27-14), Athens
(40-7) and NelsonvilleYork (53-0).
Meigs has 2,378 yards
of total offense this season,
and is plus six in turnover
differential through nine
weeks of play. The Marauders are are averaging nearly
210 yards per game on the
ground this season and 54
yards passing per game.
Senior Jeffrey Roush
had led the Meigs running
game this season, with 811
yards (eight games).
Alexander is averaging
212 yards of offense per
game in TVC Ohio play,
while allowing 311 yards
per game over the same
four contests.
It will be Senior Night
at Bob Roberts Field, with
kickoff set for 7:30 p.m.
There will also be a postgame ceremony to highlight
the 61 yard history of Bob
Roberts Field.
EASTERN at SOUTHERN
The annual week 10
showdown between Meigs
County rivals Eastern and
Southern will shift back to
Racine, Ohio, on Saturday
evening, as both teams conclude the 2011 season.
Eastern will be looking
for its third straight win in
the series, while Southern
will be looking for its first
home win against Eastern
since the turn of the millennium. Southern’s last win

over Eastern came in 2008
at Eastern.
Prior to the Eastern win
in 2010, the road team had
won the last five meetings
between the two schools.
Both teams enter the
game with 2-7 overall record and a 2-5 TVC Hocking mark. Both teams have
wins over Belpre and Miller
this season.
Southern defeated Belpre 20-14 and defeated
Miller 20-12, while Eastern
defeated Belpre 20-0 and
Miller 13-6.
Eastern has lost its last
three games, while Southern has lost two straight.
The Eagles fell to Federal Hocking (20-19) last
week after leading for the
majority of the game. Eastern had 222 rushing yards
in the game, while allowing
228 passing yards.
Southern fell to Trimble
last week in the road finale
for the Tornadoes. Southern
had 166 yards of total offense, while allowing 472
yards defensively.
It will be Senior Night at
Southern, and the last game
of 2011 for both teams.
Kickoff on Saturday evening is set for 7:30 p.m.

Here’s a breif look at the
other Week 10 games from
the tri-county area
MILLER at WAHAMA
The Wahama football
team will be looking to
achieve TVC Hocking
perfection for the second
straight year as they host
Miller on Friday evening at
Bachtel Field.
Wahama (8-0, 7-0 TVC
Hocking) will also being
playing for its second outright TVC Hocking title in
as many years on Senior
Night in Mason, W.Va.
Wahama is currently
ranked second in Class A.
The White Falcons are
coming off a 33-0 victory
over non-league opponent
Madonna, while Miller won
its first game of the 2011
season last Friday against
Belpre (22-7).
The Wahama defense
has allowed just six points
over the past three games.
Wahama is 112 yards
shy of 3,000 rushing yards
for the season, and has
also passed for 854 yards
through the first eight
games of the season. The
White Falcons are averaging 467.75 yards per game
this season.
Anthony Grimm is leading the Wahama running
game with 751 yards on 80
carries and 17 touchdowns.
Wahama has had 16 different players carry the ball

this season, while four players have thrown a pass and
six players have caught a
pass.
Wahama has allowed
417 rushing yards this season — including a -15 yard
performance last week —
and have allowed 820 passing yards.
The White Falcons
scored a defensive touchdown last week with a 34
yard interception return by
Grimm.
This will be the home finale for the White Falcons
and the season finale for
Miller.
Wahama will also be
honoring three former
teachers and coaches at Friday’s game.
SYMMES VALLEY at
SOUTH GALLIA
Win and you’re in.
Things can be that simple
for the South Gallia football
team on Friday evening as
they host Symmes Valley,
or things can get complicated.
The Rebels (7-2) are currently ranked No. 5 in Division VI, Region 23, with
the top eight teams making
the postseason. Their opponent for Friday evening
— Symmes Valley — is
currently the No. 1 ranked
team in the same region,
and has already secured a
postseason trip.
South Gallia, along with
Danville, Buckeye Central
and Sciotoville East, control their own destiny as
they enter the 10th week
of the 2011 season, while
Bealsville has already secured a playoff spot.
Besides the four teams
who can win and secure
a week 11 game, several
other teams are still alive
in the hunt for the final six
postseason spots.
The Rebels will also be
looking for their eighth win
of the season, something
they have not done since
2006 — the last time the
Rebels made the playoffs.
The 2006 season was
also the only time this decade South Gallia defeated
the Vikings. The 2006 win
came at Symmes Valley by
a 20-13 score.
This season, South Gallia is averaging 235.7 yards
per game on the ground,
93.9 yards passing per
game. The Rebels have a total of 2,966 yards of offense
this season.
The Vikings (8-1) won
their league title with a 6113 victory last week over
Portsmouth Notre Dame.
Symmes Valley had 533
rushing yards on 55 carries
in the game, and added 44
passing yards.

Alec Herrell led the Viking running game with 10
carries for 115 yards and
four touchdowns (one receiving).
The Symmes Valley defense allowed 156 rushing
yards on 40 carries and 87
passing yards in the game.
The Rebels and Symmes
Valley have matching 2-0
records against common
opponents this season.
South Gallia and Symmes
Valley both defeated Southern and Sciotoville Eastern.
The Rebels defeated East
by a 37-18 margin, while
Symmes Valley won 42-12.
South Gallia beat Southern 34-0, while the Vikings
won 34-21.
It will be Senior Night in
Mercerville, and will likely
be the final game at Rebels
Field, with the new stadium
expected to open for the
2012 season.
RIVER VALLEY at
SOUTH POINT
Someone’s finishing on
a good note. Now the only
question is who?
Two teams look to end
long losing streaks Friday
night when River Valley
travels to South Point for a
Week 10 Ohio Valley Conference matchup in Lawrence County.
The visiting Raiders (18, 0-4 OVC) have the most
to gain with a victory, as
River Valley currently owns
an eight-game losing skid
overall and a 14-game slide
in league play.
RVHS last won an OVC
contest in Week 10 of the
2008 campaign against
Rock Hill (46-13). The
Raiders have dropped six
straight to the Pointers, dating back to a 35-6 triumph
in 2004.
River Valley also hasn’t
won a league game on the
road since beating Coal
Grove (20-7) in Week 7 of
the 2002 season.
The Pointers (1-8, 0-4),
on the other hand, enter
Friday’s Senior Night game
with a seven-game losing
skid after posting a 48-16
victory over Green in Week
2.
The hosts will be playing
in their sixth home game
this fall and own an overall
mark of 1-4 at their friendly
confines. RVHS, which defeated Federal Hocking in
the 2010 opener at FHHS,
has lost eight straight road
games and is 0-4 away from
home this year.
Besides the records,
these teams have also been
shut out twice this season.
The Pointers, however,
have struggled a bit more
in OVC play, as both of
those shutouts have come

in league play. RVHS was
shutout by a pair of nonconference opponents.
SPHS is averaging 10.3
points per game offensively
this season while allowing
43.9 points. In league play,
those respective averages
are three points and 48.5
points.
South Point hasn’t reach
double-digit points offensively since its Week 2 win
over Green. The Pointers
also scored 12 points in the
season opener against Minford.
River Valley is averaging 9.4 points per game and
is also surrendering 31.4
points defensively this year.
Those respective averages
are 12 and 40.3 points in
OVC play.
GALLIA ACADEMY
at JACKSON
Here we go again.
For the second time in
as many season finales,
both league title hopes and
playoff aspirations are up
for grabs Friday night when
Gallia Academy travels to
Jackson for an all-important
Week 10 Southeastern Ohio
Athletic League matchup at
Alumni Stadium.
The Blue Devils (6-3,
3-1 SEOAL), who are 4-0
in road games this fall, are
looking to join the Ironmen
(9-0, 4-0) as co-champions
of the SEOAL. Jackson
clinched a share of the 2011
crown last week with a 5110 win over Chillicothe.
Both teams are also battling for the two remaining
playoff berths in the Division III, Region 12 bracket.
A win guarantees Jackson a
spot in the postseason, but
a victory doesn’t guarantee
the same for GAHS. A loss
eliminates the Blue Devils
from the playoff picture,
but a setback may not mark
the end of the 2011 season
for JHS.
Jackson will be celebrating Senior Night while aiming for their 19th consecutive victory in the regular
season, a feat topped only
once in the program’s illustrious history. JHS won
a school-best 25 straight
games from 1953 to 1955.
The Ironmen have been
impressive on offense,
churning out averages of
352 total yards and 44.6
points offensively. Jackson
is also allowing just 13.6
points per game and the defense has a plus-18 margin
in turnover differential this
fall.
In SEOAL play, JHS is
averaging 49.5 points offensively while allowing 16.3
points as a defense. Jackson

Wahama to honor 3 former coaches
Marshall University, VanMeter
returned home to teach in the science department and coach for several years at the Bend Area school.
VanMeter was the head coach of
the WHS football team from 1986
until 1993 and was the first football mentor to take a White Falcon
football program to the post-season
playoffs. Under VanMeter’s tutelage WHS advanced to the Class
A playoffs four times in eight seasons with his 1986 team winning
its opening playoff contest by a
thrilling 25-24 score before what is
considered to be the largest crowd
ever to witness a Wahama White
Falcon sporting event. VanMeter
also enjoyed success as the head
coach of the Wahama Lady Softball team for a number of prosperous seasons.
Gary Fields graduated from
Wahama in 1969 after lettering in
football, golf and basketball. Fields
went on to attend Glenville State
College and earned a teaching degree with a major in Biological and
General Sciences. Gary returned
to Wahama where he taught all
grade levels for over 36 years. He
coached football and basketball for
over 20 years on the junior high

By Gary Clark

Special to OVP
MASON, W.Va. — An added
attraction to senior night festivities
at Wahama High School when the
White Falcons host visiting Miller
in a TVC Hocking Division football contest Friday evening will be
the appreciation of three former
White Falcon teachers/coaches.
Don VanMeter, Gary Fields
and Keith Sayre all graduated from
the Mason County School and returned to their alma-mater following their college careers to sculpt
future Bend Area students and athletes for the life experiences they
will encounter following their prep
school days. With well over a combined 100 years of experience in
the Mason County school system
the trio of former standout athletes
will be honored with a reception
prior to Friday night’s football action in the WHS auxiliary gym. All
Falcon football fans are urged to
stop in and show their appreciation
for these former Wahama greats.
Don VanMeter was a prominent
athlete at Wahama before going
on to perform for the Thundering
Herd of Marshall and its football
program. Upon graduation from

level as well as golf and football at
the varsity level while at Wahama.
His 1981 junior high football team
was unbeaten while his 1979 golf
team had the distinction of being
ranked second in the state at the
Class AAA level. Fields also held
the duties of the football public address announcer for several years
and continues to assist in numerous
activities at the Bend Area School.
Keith Sayre was a 1971 graduate of Wahama where he was a
gifted athlete in football, basketball, baseball and track. Sayre attended Glenville State College
and was a member of the Pioneer
football team before securing a
teaching degree in Physical Education and Special Education. He returned home to begin his teaching
and coaching career at the young
age of 22. Sayre coached football
and basketball for 11 years, track
for two years and girls basketball
and softball for a total of six years.
Keith continued his activities of assisting the youth of the Bend Area
beyond the school year by continuing to instruct and enhance the
skills of the communities summer
programs.

Hannan (2-6) can change all

Ashton, W.Va.
The host Wildcats have
made significant strides
this season, rather it be
posting a shutout victory

at Hundred (22-0) to snap
a 23-game losing streak or
winning its Homecoming
contest against Manchester
(26-14) to snap a 17-game
drought at home.
Hannan is 1-2 at home
this year, and Friday’s contest will be the final one in
front of the home faithful
before the ‘Cats head to
Gilmer County next weekend for their season finale.
The Wildcats are averaging 10.8 points per game
offensively while allowing
29.5 points as a defensive
unit. Hannan has been shutout twice this year and has
also allowed 32 or more
points in half of its eight
contests.
The visiting Generals, on the other hand, are
0-3 on the road this season
and have allowed at least
32 points in seven of their
eight setbacks. Montcalm
has also been shut out three
times this fall.
MHS is averaging 13
points per game offensively
while surrendering 47.5
points as a defensive unit.
Montcalm has scored just
22 points in its last four

outings, compared to 58
for Hannan over that same
span.
Montcalm has won three
straight decisions in this
head-to-head matchup, with
Hannan’s last win coming
in 2007 by a 12-6 margin.
That win was Hannan’s last
at home until three weeks
ago.
Both Hannan and Montcalm have been eliminated
from Class A playoff contention. HHS is currently
27th overall, while Montcalm is tied for 32nd in the
34-team field.
HERBERT HOOVER
at POINT PLEASANT
The Point Pleasant football team makes its final
regular season appearance
at home Friday night when
the Big Blacks host Herbert Hoover in a pivotal
Week 10 Cardinal Conference matchup at Ohio Valley Bank Track and Field in
Mason County.
The Big Blacks (8-0,
5-0 Cardinal) currently
sit second in the Class AA
playoff ratings and are also
aiming to remain tied atop
the league standings with

Chapmanville, the team
that PPHS plays next week.
Point Pleasant, coincidentally, is the only Class
AA program in the state
that hasn’t allowed more
than 100 points this season
(63) and can also secure a
home playoff game with
a win. Both Point and topranked Shady Spring (9-0)
are also likely to eclipse
the 400-point plateau this
weekend with respective
offensive totals of 387 and
392.
The visiting Huskies (26, 2-4), on the other hand,
are playing for little more
than bragging rights, as
HHHS is currently tied for
31st in the 42-team Class
AA field.
Herbert Hoover enters
Friday with a two-game losing streak and will also be
competing in its final Cardinal Conference matchup
of the season before returning home next week to face
Mingo Central.
The Huskies are 1-3 on
the road this season, with
that one victory coming at
Sissonville by a 42-0 count.
Hoover has scored in all

Thursday’s TV Guide

eight of its previous contests, but the Huskies have
only posted more than 18
points twice in those eight
matchups.
HHHS is averaging 20.5
points per game offensively
while allowing 27 points as
a defense. In Cardinal Conference play, the averages
are slightly better as Herbert Hoover is respectively
totaling 22.7 and 22.2 on
offense and defense.
Point Pleasant, conversely, is scoring 48.4
points and allowing 7.9
points overall while posting averages of 51.8 and
10 in Cardinal Conference
play. The Big Blacks have
outgained their opponents
by a whopping 3,937-1,808
margin this year in total offense.
Point Pleasant, which
will celebrate Senior Night
on Friday, had won three
straight in this series before
last year’s 23-16 setback at
HHHS. PPHS has won nine
straight regular season contests since.

CONCEPTIS SUDOKU
by Dave Green

HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Thursday,
Oct. 27, 2011:
This year you sparkle and express
high energy. You could be overwhelmed by all the possibilities. Your
biggest challenge will be choosing the
appropriate course. You might feel that
a boss carries grudges and can be difficult. You might want to become your
own boss. If you are single, you meet
many potential sweeties. While you
are choosing the person, ask yourself
what type of relationship you want.
If you are attached, remember your
partner -- he or she deserves your time
and attention. Be sensitive to his or her
needs. SCORPIO pushes you hard.
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 Remind others of the very
fiery and abrupt personality you can
manifest. Allow your creativity to fill in
the blanks. A gesture later today could
patch up any disagreement. Also allow
someone else to demonstrate more
creativity. Tonight: Let your hair down.
Relax with a loved one.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20)
HHHH If you can stay open to
extremely assertive people, you will
feel OK by the end of the process.
A family member could be difficult
beyond what you imagine. Your gentle
persuasion will win out. You will be
able to be heard, but perhaps not
immediately. Tonight: Let another person choose.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20)
HHHH Your imagination takes
another twist or turn. You might feel
as if someone doesn’t hear your point
of view. As a result, you could lose
your temper. You also show the ability
to soften an associate’s hard stance.
This, too, will pass. Stay centered.
Tonight: Make it easy.
CANCER (June 21-July 22)
HHHHH Allow greater creativity
to flow into your work. Be careful with
spending, as you could go overboard.
Express your caring in a manner in
which the other party can hear it. Try
to use your imagination and understanding, and this person’s verbal
style. Tonight: Having fun.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)
HHH Anchor in and get to the
bottom of the problem. You could be
questioning how to handle your frustration and perhaps anger. You know
what is necessary, or so you think.
Plan on going down this path solo, if
possible. A family member or roommate can be supportive. Tonight: Head

Horoscope

home. Put your feet up.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
HHHH Keep talking and opening doors. Suppressing your feelings
would be a mistake, as they will come
out. Choose to express your discomfort in a manner in which others
can respond to. Work on being more
expressive and vulnerable. Tonight:
Visit over dinner.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
HHHH You will want to make
a difference. Others might alternate
between coaxing, manipulating and a
saccharine attitude. Partially because
you are hip, none of this will get past
you. Take your time making a decision
about how to handle your finances and
an investment. Tonight: Tumbling into
the weekend spirit.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
HHHH You might be causing more
problems for yourself than you realize.
What you do might be in sharp contrast with what you say. Get feedback,
especially if you don’t seem to get the
appropriate reactions. Tonight: Let
your magnetism speak.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
HH Rethink a personal matter. Much is going on in your mind,
but your ideas might not be ripe.
Brainstorm with a trusted friend, and
ideas will flourish. What emerges could
be one of your best ideas. Tonight:
Vanish for a while.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
HHH You might want to rethink
a situation involving a meeting, and
perhaps a personal wish or goal, with
greater care. In a professional matter,
you’ll gain support if you explain your
case more clearly. A partner or loved
one expresses frustration. Tonight:
Meet where people are.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
HHHH Others think you might be
the best person to shoulder a responsibility. Do you have the time? The
desire? A partner or set of loved ones
could be most upset by your choosing
to take on any more. Are you sure this
is what you want? Tonight: Burning the
candle at both ends.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)
HHHH Take an overview and
understand what is motivating an
associate or someone in your daily
life. You might feel frustrated. The
smart move is to detach and gain
more understanding. Tonight: Put on
a favorite piece of music after calling a
distant friend.
