In Ohio, 6.6 percent of all income comes from these payments. According to the Daily Yonder, an online publication covering rural America, published by the Center for Rural Strategies, proposed cuts in the program could have a more serious impact on rural economies because rural communities rely on that income for their local economies. In Meigs County, 5,015 people receive some form of Social Security payment, either an old age pension, a survivor benefit or a disability check, according to the Social Security Administration and the Bureau of Economic Analysis. Social Security beneficiaries represent 22.0 percent of the total county population.

Social Security payments in Meigs County have been changing as a proportion of total income. These payments amounted to 6.8 percent of total income in 1970, 7.0 percent in 1980, 8.3 percent in 1990, 7.8 percent in 2000 and 10.4 percent in 2009. Social Security payments are particularly important to rural counties and small cities because the money is largely spent in the community. “The seniors who get these payments are primarily going to spend their money locally,” said Mark Partridge, a rural economist at Ohio State University. “And they are a key reason why some communities are still viable. If this money dried up, there wouldn’t be a lot of these small towns.” See Meigs, 2 Eastern Elementary School third graders view the Civil War monument on the Meigs County Courthouse lawn as a part of their weekly local history lesson, a part of the Retired Senior Volunteers ’ “Seniors in Schools” program.

A greater percentage of people in rural America receive these payments than in urban counties, and so rural counties have higher average payments per resident. “In many rural places, Social Security is a very critical element of the local economic base,” said Peter Nelson, a geographer at Middlebury College in Vermont. “It’s less important to a place like Los Angeles because there is so much additional economic activity going on there.” Total Social Security payments in Meigs County amounted to $2,603 per person in 2009.

R eed BReed@mydailysentinel.com MIDDLEPORT — Village officials hope passage of two levy renewals and a new twomill levy will help Middleport stay in the black, pay for police services, and maintain the fire department’s equipment inventory. The new levy, earmarked for police protection, replaces a levy that voters rejected last November. Voters in Middleport will determine the fate of three levies, as voters go to the polls to elect village and township officials and determine levy outcomes across the county. Friday is the final day for voters to cast absentee ballots. After this week, voters can only vote at the polls on Election Day, unless they have moved from one precinct to another and plan to cast provisional ballots. Middleport, like many other villages, has struggled this year with its general fund and anticipates a continuing struggle into next year, partly because revenue from a levy voters rejected last year will no longer be received. Council has placed a three-mill levy renewal on the ballot for current expenses, a renewal of a two-mill fire protection levy, and a new two-mill levy for police protection on this fall’s general election ballot. All three, council says, are important to the village’s financial wellbeing. Police services are the most affected by general fund budget woes, Fiscal Officer Susan Baker said earlier this year, and council decided to earmark proceeds from the new levy for that purpose. The village hopes completion and operation of a new village jail, being included in the new village hall on Pearl Street, will help supplement income into the general fund, but the levy proposed on next week’s ballot will also help alleviate those concerns. Street lights and other operations will be funded through the three-mill operating expenses levy renewal, if voters approve it, and the fire protection levy, if approved, will be used to keep up a 20-year replacement cycle for the department’s primary firefighting apparatus, maintain equipment and protect volunteer firefighters. The current average age of trucks on the department’s fleet is 16 years, with the oldest truck 27 years old, according to information provided by the village’s fire department. Mayor Michael Gerlach said plans made earlier this year to extinguish part of the village’s street lights were tabled, because the cost of disconnecting them and then reconnecting them if and when the levy for their operation is renewed, would not have saved the village any money. �Thursday, Novemeber 3, 2011 Obituaries Judith Hoyt-Morris Judith Kay Hoyt-Morris, 72, Pomeroy, passed away on Nov. 2, 2011, at the Dennett Road Manor Nursing Home in Oakland, Md.

Member SIPC. Stock Air Force cutting 9,000 jobs now, more later WASHINGTON (AP) — The Air Force said Wednesday it plans to eliminate 9,000 civilian jobs in a cost-saving move, with more reductions to come later as part of a militarywide effort to adjust to a new era of defense spending cuts. “We clearly understand the turbulence these and future reductions will cause in the workforce,” Gen. Norton A. Schwartz, the Air Force chief of staff, said in an announcement that triggered criticism from members of Congress from states affected by the changes. Schwartz said the Air Force would try hard to achieve the job reductions through attrition and other management moves to avoid forced layoffs. After growing rapidly for a decade, the Pentagon budget is headed for substantial reductions. The Obama administration is committed to cuts of between $450 billion and $465 billion over the next 12 years and cuts approximately double that size could be imposed depending on the outcome of congressional budget negotiations. The Air Force did not spell out the full range of its planned job reductions but said a portion would come from a reorganization of the command that is its largest employer of civilians — the Air Force Ma- LOCK IN YOUR PRICE FOR ONE YEAR!

The Air Force said the Materiel Command will not be the only major command affected by the cutbacks, but it mentioned no others. It said workers “Air Force-wide” will be informed of changes in the next several days. The announced moves will cut 9,000 civilian positions in management, staff and support at several bases. The Air Force says separately it plans to add 5,900 positions in other, higher-priority areas like weapons buying, nuclear weapons management and the expanding field of intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance. It offered no details on that expansion. Brig. Gen. Gina Grosso, the Air Force director of manpower, said officials are still working on details of how to reduce by a further 4,500 civilian jobs. “There is more work to be done,” to achieve savings, she said. The Daily Sentinel • Page 2 Meigs From Page 1 Social Security payments amount to 5 percent of the total income in urban counties. In counties with small cities, these payments amount to 8.2 percent of total income, and in rural counties such as Meigs County, Social Security totals 9.3 percent of all personal income. More than one out of five Americans living in small cities and rural counties received some kind of Social Security check in 2009. Judith Stallmann, an economist at the University of Missouri, explained that Social Security payments help generate the sales that keep a rural business afloat. “We find that Social Security income can be the difference between success and failure for some local businesses,” Stallmann said. “If you took away ten percent of the demand, would that local business be able to remain open? Often it’s that 10 percent that keeps them going. Social Security is providing that margin.” Changes to Social Security are being discussed in Congress, which is looking for ways to balance the larger federal budget. If benefits are cut - or if the eligibility age is increased - rural counties and small cities would be disproportionately affected, according to Peter Nelson. “Cuts would have a bigger negative impact on rural places, absolutely,” Middlebury’s Professor Nelson said. “They are more dependent on Social Security.” —30— OPTIONAL TABLES Local Social Security Income Per capita income from Social Security Meigs County $2,603 Ohio $2,383 Nation $2,199 Source: Bureau of Economic Analysis 2009 data adjusted for inflation to 2010 Percent of all income from Social Security Meigs County 10.4 Ohio 6.6 Nation 5.5 Source: Bureau of Economic Analysis About the Authors Bill Bishop is co-editor of The Daily Yonder an online publication covering rural America, published by the Center for Rural Strategies (http://www. ruralstrategies.org/ tal contract as freshman class advisor for the current school year, and Scott Wolfe also on a supplemental contract, as the 21st Century Director.

Also approved was an overnight stay for the crosscountry team. Meeting with Board was Michael Struble who works on legislation with the Ohio School Board Association. He spoke on the pending House Bill 136 which relates to pending legislation to expand the voucher program used for schooling outside the public school system. If passed by the State Legislature the voucher program, accord- ing to Struble, would be expanded with the funding to come from the general fund and levy monies. He encouraged Board members to write their legislators with their opinions on expanding the voucher program and expressing their concern for the effect it might have on public school financing. Board members, who unanimously approved all actions, are Denny Evans, Peggy Gibbs, Paul Harris, Dennie Hill and John Hoback. COLUMBUS (AP) — The Ohio House will return to Columbus on Thursday to vote on a revised congressional map that the chamber’s Republican leader says will address the concerns of Democrats, who have been seeking a repeal of a newly adopted map they say unfairly favors the GOP. The compromise plan would also reinstitute a single primary in 2012, rather than separate March and June contests approved by lawmakers. House Speaker William Batchelder’s spokesman, Mike Dittoe, said Wednesday that it was unclear whether there would be enough votes to pass the new map, but the speaker felt the time had come. “The Speaker believes the new map is responsive to their requests that they have made over the last several weeks,” Dittoe said. “He believes that, given that and given the situation we’re in, he wants to bring it to an up or down vote.” Senate Republican leaders have been apprised of the negotiations in the House, and they are prepared to bring back in senators for a vote possibly Friday, said Senate spokesman John McClelland. As Democrats gather voter signatures for a ballot question to challenge the first map passed by the Republican-led Legislature, district boundaries, congressional campaigns and the calendar for a presidential election year in a key battleground state are all in limbo. A message was left with Ohio Democratic Chairman Chris Redfern seeking comment. Redfern vowed only Tuesday to move forward with a campaign to get the Republican-favoring map thrown out by voters. U.S. Rep. Dennis Kucinich, who faces a primary fight against a fellow Democrat, was placing robo-calls to state lawmakers asking for favorable treatment under the embattled GOP redistricting plan. One Democrat targeted by Kucinich’s robo-calls, state Rep. Timothy DeGeeter of Parma, said Wednesday that he received such a call at his home and fewer than a dozen phone calls from residents who contacted him in response to Kucinich’s overture. Kucinich, a former Cleveland mayor and two-time long-shot presidential candidate, thinks he can win in the district proposed by Republicans, a plan that would pit him against U.S. Rep. Marcy Kaptur of Toledo. Jim Ruvolo, a former state Democratic party chairman and an informal adviser to Kaptur for many years, criticized Kucinich for supporting a plan designed to help Republicans solidify their hold on vulnerable seats and lump Democrats into four of the state’s new 16 congressional districts. “Clearly Dennis cares about nothing but himself,” Ruvolo said. “It’s unbelievable.” Kucinich says more than half the registered Democrats in the new, GOP-drawn district that merges his area with Kaptur’s come from his old district. The new district would stretch along Lake Erie from Cleveland to Toledo. The redrawn lines due out Thursday give Kaptur more of an edge over Kucinich by including more precincts from her Toledo-area district, sources with knowledge of the map told The Associated Press. The individuals requested anonymity because they were not authorized to speak publicly about the lines. Batchelder has been in compromise talks with Democrats, including members of the Ohio Legislative Black Caucus, to try to line up seven votes needed to pass a new map in time to avoid holding two separate primary elections in 2012. State Rep. Alicia Reece, a black Cincinnati Democrat, said talks were expected to continue Wednesday night and Thursday morning. “I’m hopeful that behind the scenes negotiations will lead to something that can have bipartisan support,” she said. “It’s a moving target.” The Ohio Democratic Party launched a signaturegathering effort Tuesday to put the Republican-approved map up for repeal next year; as of Tuesday, the all-Democrat black caucus stood with the party. Dittoe said Batchelder believes avoiding separate primaries is in the best interest of both parties, and Reece agreed. “I’m getting a lot of pushback in my district about the two primaries. People want to see that go away,” she said. DeGeeter said he told callers motivated by Kucinich’s appeal that “things are fluid here (in Columbus). Obviously, we want to have a Cuyahoga County west side district.” DeGeeter said he wasn’t bothered by the secondhand lobbying by Kucinich. “That was Congressman Kucinich’s decision. I’ll talk to residents, constituents any time,” he said. Kucinich hasn’t commented. A message was left Wednesday at his campaign office. An analysis by voter groups of the map passed in September suggests that 12 of the 16 congressional districts favor Republicans while the other four lean Democratic. Ohio is losing two congressional districts because of slow population growth; both parties stand to lose one seat each.

POMEROY — A free hearing aid loan program for patients of Appalachian Community Visiting Nurses Association which serves several counties including Meigs, is being initiated by Diane McVey of Diles Hearing C enter in Athens. The purpose of the new program, according to a release from the Hearing Center, is to improve communication between a hospice patient and others including spouse, partner, family members, friends and health professionals providing hospice and/or other medical services. This is being done to facilitate the one in hospice to better enjoy conversations or listening to music during this phase of their life. McVey is currently seeking donation of hearing devices for the program.

Dear Dr. Brothers: I thought it was the 21st century and my husband would willingly pitch in with all the baby duties now that our daughter has arrived. Boy, was I wrong! The baby is 7 weeks old now, and the routine is for my husband to hand me a diaper when she needs changing, or bring me the clothes I pick out, get the bath water ready and then leave, etc. He is like a maid following us around instead of a dad. He says he might drop her. I see other dads, and they don’t act this way. — L.Y. Dear L.Y.: Many don’t act that way, but many others do. What concerns me is that it seems as though your husband had every intention of being a hands-on dad but something is stopping him from doing so. Usually when a dad doesn’t step up to the plate with a newborn, he is either frightened — thus the “drop her” remark — or he is intimidated. I wonder if your husband might be operating under both constraints. He has not gotten over that initial paralysis that some men go through in which they think of the baby as a fragile doll that will break if they make one wrong move. The only way most guys grow out of this phase is to work through their fears and handle the baby a lot. If your husband hasn’t done this, and you tend to be falling back on him as a helper, he may feel comfortable only in a role as an assistant who fetches things. Your husband needs to start building a Dr. Joyce Brothers Advice Columnist relationship with his daughter — it won’t just magically be easier when she is 2, 3 or 4 and he stops worrying about dropping her. I imagine what he needs from you is a lot less direction and a lot more encouragement. Spending quality time on the bed or sofa with the baby between you, just relaxing, would be a good start. He needs some confidencebuilding. *** Dear Dr. Brothers: My 15-year-old daughter has turned into a monster. This formerly pleasant and nice girl has become a screeching, rude, nasty young lady. I don’t know why! Our home life is chaotic when she takes over the room. She loves her little twin brothers, but she sometimes makes them cry with fright by yelling at me and my husband. She treats her friends and teachers well, as far as I can tell, but what did we do to deserve this? — S.P. Dear S.P.: You and your husband probably didn’t do anything, but just in case you did, why don’t you calmly sit down with your daughter and ask her what is wrong? Her changing personality may be perfectly normal for a girl her age, but it could be a signal that something is askew in her world. Since you two are the ones she seems to be venting her anger on, it would be good to try to clarify what her issues are and whether you can make any changes in your family life to make her less angry and uncomfortable. The first place I might look to is your relationship with your twin boys. I know twins need a lot of looking after, and boys can be double trouble. You probably have the feeling that your daughter pretty much can fend for herself now, whereas the boys need a lot of your time. It could be that your daughter is crying out to you for some quality time. She is at an age where she needs a lot of guidance, and yet she can now see her parents as imperfect creatures who are neglecting her emotional needs. Take her to the mall or on a hiking trip, where you two can be alone without the twins for a while, and see if her behavior changes. I’m sure once you start talking to her as an adult and finding out what she needs, things will improve.

The demand for new energy resources is one that is increasingly being waged worldwide. For the United States, we depend on unstable nations and even unfriendly nations for oil. While Canada is the largest supplier of imported oil to the United States, the fact of the matter is that there are still untapped resources in Canada’s oil sands that could provide fuel and stability to our country. America will require 21 percent more energy in 2035 than in 2009 and oil and natural gas will continue to fuel more than half of America’s consumer energy needs for decades. We need to look at solutions that will provide consumers with affordable energy supplies, especially at a time when our nation is suffering from one of the harshest economic downturns we have seen in recent history. Projects like the Keystone XL pipeline and other Canadian oil sands development projects can help ensure that we get our energy from a friendly, stable neighbor while providing a flow of economic resources and jobs our country desperately needs. Relying on oil from the Gulf of Mexico, which can see disruptions from storms and Middle Eastern and South American nations, whose political views tend to differ from those of the United States, leaves us open for possible disruptions to consumers. While prices at the pump may seem to be declining let us not forget recent price hikes as a result of political unrest overseas or even natural disasters in our own country. Not only do these projects make sense for political reasons, but they also make sense from an economic standpoint. The Keystone XL pipeline project will create more than 20,000 jobs in 2011-2012, generating an estimated $138.4 million in annual property tax revenue for state and local entities. Even though the Keystone XL pipeline won’t run through Ohio, thousands of jobs from suppliers and vendors to the pipeline could be created. In the Buckeye state, if there were unlimited pipeline capacity, there could be more than 33,000 jobs created by 2035 with full development of the Canadian oil sands. Many businesses across the United States and in Ohio already supply parts, materials, equipment and other resources to the development of Canadian oil sands and other projects. The simple fact is we must support efforts to become more efficient and develop alternative forms of energy. Our nation needs more fuel supplies from stable and reliable sources to meet ever-growing energy demands. Oil sands production could rise from approximately 1.4 barrels per day in 2010 to approximately 3.5 million barrels per day by 2025. Global competition for energy is increasing. The United States is just one country among many competing in the world market for energy resources. Developing additional North American energy sources just makes sense. Projects such as the Keystone XL pipeline will create and preserve tens of thousands of jobs, generate much needed tax revenue and spur economic growth. gest that instead of using “THEY”, Mayor Gerlach use names so many of us dumb people will know whom he is talking about. First, the $5 license fee was enacted when I was mayor and was used strictly for streets as was required. We were not greedy and asked for only $5. The fee now is $15 — or three times what we had. Previous administrations have paved a lot of streets using this $5 for match. Second, I was mayor when a majority of the residents of the Hobson area signed a petition requesting that they be annexed to the Village of Middleport. Upon their request, the village accepted them as part of the village. I never promised anyone that I would provide water for the area, but I was working on that goal when I left office. I think it’s great that Mayor Gerlach is going to provide water for those residents. They really need and deserve it, but I also feel that any residents who are outside of the corporation limits should be annexed to the village before they are provided with water — that way they can enjoy paying the same taxes as the rest of the village. I would also like to point out that the general operating levy can not only pay police, fire, and streetlights but can also be used for any other general fund expense such as salaries, supplies or whatever the mayor and council decide to use it for, other than water and sewer expenses. I have requested that Mayor Gerlach provide me with equal space on the village public website by placing this letter on the village website. I both won and lost several elections in Middleport. Elections in the village back then were always clean with all candidates respecting each other. We don’t need big city political mudslinging here. We all live in this small community together and should let the voters decide without attacking each other. Fred L. Hoffman Former Middleport Mayor (1974-1991) Letter to the Editor Former mayor reflects on Middleport Village website Dear Editor, I usually check for village news on the Village of Middleport website at least once a week and was really shocked this week to see two pages of political garbage from Mayor Gerlach. I thought this website was for news of happenings in the village — not for trying to boost the political ambitions of anyone. After reading this, I have come to the conclusion that none of the previous mayors did anything to benefit or improve the village. It appears that all we did was completely mess up the town, and Mayor Gerlach has had to work about four years to get everything straightened up. Normally, I would ignore such nonsense but since Mayor Gerlach has referred to some of the things that occurred when I was in office, I would like to make a couple of observations. Evidently I am one of the people whom he refers to as “THEY”. I would sug- The Daily Sentinel Reader Services Correction Policy Our main concern in all stories is to be accurate.

And why will guns soon be banned from the Statehouse grounds as well? When the gun lobby demanded that concealedcarry permit holders be allowed to pack heat wherever they go, Republicans in the General Assembly answered the call to arms by making it legal to bring concealed weapons to parks, sports and concert arenas, restaurants, bars, and other public places. The pro-gun argument was that law-abiding permit holders are no threat to anyone. Indeed, they said, everyone would be safer because the bad guys would not know who might be armed. Yet lawmakers did not extend that level of supposed safety to themselves. Instead, they bravely banned legally licensed guns from the Statehouse and its underground garage, leaving themselves at the mercy of armed criminals. The Capitol Square Review and Advisory Board wants to go further. … (I)t voted to prohibit concealed weapons from the grounds around the Statehouse as well. … Self-evidently, lawmakers who voted to allow concealed guns in bars valued their own safety — and the favor of the gun lobby — more than they valued public safety. Online: http://bit.ly/ vQHGyo *** Herald-Dispatch, Huntington, W.Va., on national and state infrastructure spending: The prospect of Congress and the White House coming to agreement on a jobs bill that includes spending on infrastructure improvements remains a long shot, but the idea is appealing to many Americans. In theory, such a plan 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 Letters to the Editor Letters to the editor should be limited to 300 words.

Letters should be in good taste, addressing issues, not personalities. “Thank You” letters will not be accepted for publication. would make sense — if a way is found to pay for it and if the bankrolled projects indeed aligned with the nation’s critical needs. Not only should public work projects be as close to “shovel-ready” as possible to promote job growth and sustenance quickly, they should also meet criteria for addressing the nation’s most pressing infrastructure problems. President Barack Obama’s proposed American Jobs Act has several pieces to it, and one is spending $50 billion quickly on highways, transit, rail and aviation. His overall jobs plan, costing a total of $447 billion, already has been blocked by Republicans in the U.S. Senate, and the president has responded by saying he would break it into pieces for consideration by Congress. Some of those “pieces” also have been rejected. Now Democrats in the Senate, including co-sponsor Sen. Joe Manchin, D-W. Va., are promoting a bill that would focus strictly on infrastructure work. Called the Rebuild America Jobs Act, it would spend $50 billion on roads, bridges and air traffic infrastructure and create a $10 billion national “infrastructure bank” to be used for public-private partnerships working on development projects in cities and rural areas. In promoting the plan in Huntington, Manchin underscored his home state’s infrastructure status. According to Transportation for America, West Virginia ranks No. 8 in the nation for the number of deficient bridges in the state, with 16.7 percent classified as deficient. The percentage of daily traffic on deficit bridges equal 11.2 percent of the state’s average daily traffic on all bridges. A full 36 percent of West Virginia’s major roads are in poor or mediocre condition, Manchin said. He also noted that Moody’s Analytics estimates that for every dollar spent on infrastructure, the nation’s economy grows by $1.59. That suggests that investing in infrastructure not only is a safety issue but a sound way to improve the economy. Online: http://www.herald-dispatch.com. The (Cleveland) Plain Dealer on public school funding: It’s been obvious for years that Ohio’s method of paying for public schools is broken. Asking hardpressed property owners to put ever more money in the hat is a recipe for financial gridlock and voter anger. These problems become even more evident now, when jobs are scarce and state and federal funds are dwindling. A Plain Dealer editorial board survey of Northeast Ohio school districts with school money issues on the Nov. 8 ballot shows how severely Ohio’s schoolfunding mechanism is damaged. Even excellent districts can no longer expect relief from squeezed property owners. The Ohio Supreme Court has repeatedly said Ohio’s school funding system is unconstitutional. Yet instead of crafting solutions, state lawmakers have made it worse by revoking business taxes that pay for schools, in part by replacing them with taxes that go to the state and by heaping on unfunded mandates. … Last spring — not long after his budget further eroded school subsidies — Gov. John Kasich appointed Barbara-Mattei Smith, an assistant policy director for education, to write Ohio’s new school funding formula. She’s still sorting through data for her proposal, which should be released early next year, according to a Kasich spokesman. … Kasich must come up with a new school funding formula that provides a thorough, efficient and, yes, fair educational system for all young Ohioans.

Lopez Publisher Charlene Hoeflich General Manager-News Editor �Thursday, Novemeber 3, 2011 www.mydailysentinel.com Ohio Briefs Group wants Ohio campaign ad review system tossed CINCINNATI (AP) — An Ohio anti-tax group is asking a federal judge in Cincinnati to toss out the state’s system for handling campaign ad complaints, arguing it limits rights to free speech, including sending certain comments using Twitter. The Cincinnati Enquirer reports the Coalition Opposed to Additional Spending & Taxes, or COAST, filed the suit less than a week after a complaint against the coalition accused members of lying in tweets about a Cincinnati streetcar proposal it opposes. The Ohio Elections Commission hears such complaints, and its actions can lead to hefty fines. The commission will hold a hearing on the Twitter complaint Thursday after the judge on Wednesday denied COAST’s request to temporarily stop it. Proponents say the commission helps protect candidates against slander. Opponents say it’s often used to intimidate. Four charged in Ohio in $2.2M food stamp fraud probe AKRON, Ohio (AP) — Four people have been charged in a $2.2 million food stamp fraud investigation in northeast Ohio. Authorities say the alleged fraud occurred over a three-year period at an Akron convenience store. State investigators and Summit County sheriff’s deputies handled the case announced Wednesday. The defendants are charged with counts including racketeering and receiving stolen property. Twenty administrative charges also were filed against the convenience store, which could be fined or lose its state license for alleged drug dealing and other counts. None of the defendants could be reached. No phone numbers were found for them. Ohio county lays off 33 more, raising cuts to 343 CLEVELAND (AP) — Ohio’s most populous county has laid off another 33 employees, including some from the scandal-plagued Cuyahoga County auditor’s staff. The layoffs announced Wednesday in Cleveland bring to 343 the number of jobs cut by county Executive Ed FitzGerald. He took office in January after voters threw out the former three-commissioner government amid a long-running corruption investigation. The latest cuts include workers in the recorder’s office, auto title office and the auditor’s office once led by Frank Russo, who has pleaded guilty to bribery. He has been sentenced to 22 years in prison. FitzGerald’s office says the latest cuts will save $1.7 million a year and follow an outside review of fuzzy job classifications.

John Kasich for the turnpike job and will be paid $129,500 a year. Kasich wants to lease the turnpike, a move he says will bring Ohio a financial windfall.

Please submit your Holiday Happenings by November 7th to Dems want Ohio elections chief to rescind advisory mds@mydailysentinel.com Subject: Holiday Happenings. COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Democratic lawmakers say an advisory from Ohio’s top elections official could create confusion this weekend about early voting and he should rescind it. Secretary of State Jon Husted issued the advisory to local boards last month, stating that changes to state law require voters who want to cast an early, in-person ballot to do so by 6 p.m. Friday. Democrats say the cutoff thwarts a ballot repeal effort against a separate election law that also ends early voting the Friday before Election Day. The deadline in previous elections has been Monday. A Husted spokesman says the Friday deadline is part of a military voting law passed by the Ohio Legislature, and it wouldn’t apply to service members. Democrats contend confusion over the new laws could lead to lawsuits. This will be published in our Holiday Happenings special edition that publishes On Thanksgiving Day.

(Bill) Thomas All-Sports Trophy in the hands of their Washington County neighbors at Warren High School until a new winner was determined. Looks like the Warriors and Lady Warriors want to hold onto it for a little while. After winning boys soccer, boys cross country and volleyball championships, Warren has a solid lead over runner-up Gallipolis through the fall portion of the SEOAL schedule. Warren has 29.5 points, good for a 6.5-point lead over runner-up Gallipo- lis (23), followed closely by Chillicothe (22), Jackson (20.5) and Logan (19). Portsmouth (9) rounds out the standings. Marietta won the last three and seven of the last eight All-Sports Trophy titles before departing for the East Central Ohio League. In addition to its three first-place finishes, Warren placed second in boys golf and girls cross country and tied Logan for second in girls soccer. Gallipolis claimed titles in boys golf — the Blue Devils finished third in the state Division II tournament as well — and girls cross country, was second in football and third in both boys cross country and volleyball. Chillicothe claimed the girls soccer crown, took runner-up finishes in volleyball and girls tennis and tied Portsmouth and Warren for third place in football. Jackson, which won its second-straight football championship, also had a second-place finish in boys soccer. Logan didn’t win any championships but placed second in boys cross country, tied for second in girls soccer, and placed third in both boys golf and girls cross country. Portsmouth, which doesn’t have soccer teams and didn’t have enough runners to score in the cross country meets, won the girls tennis championship — the school’s first title since reentering the league in 200506 — and was involved in the aforementioned threeway tie for third in football. All-Sports Trophy points are determined on an 6-54-3-2-1 basis in sports where all six schools field full teams. In other sports, points are determined as to how many teams competed for the title, with fractional points awarded in case of ties. Since Portsmouth doesn’t have boys soccer, for example, those points were determined on a 5-43-2-1 basis. Team points are awarded in cross country only if a school has enough runners to register a team score. The SEOAL, one of the longest-running prep conferences in the state, was formed by William E. (Bill) Thomas of Wellston in 1925 and began competition with a boys track meet that spring, with 1925-26 being the first full season of conference competition.

WAHAMA at BUFFALO With its second consecutive outright league title already in hand, the Wahama football team aims to close out the 2011 campaign with its 21st straight regular season victory Friday night when it travels to Buffalo for a pivotal Week 11 matchup in Putnam County. The visiting White Falcons (9-0) are aiming for their second straight unbeaten regular season, a feat that hasn’t been accomplished at WHS since 2002 and 2003. Wahama is also looking to improve on its current status in the Class A playoff ratings, where it is currently second to 9-0 Wheeling Central Catholic. The host Bison (7-2), on the other hand, currently sit ninth in the Class A postseason standings, and a win would certainly vault them into a home playoff game. Buffalo has lost two straight to WHS, including the 2009 regular season finale that started the White Falcons’ current 20-game winning streak. Buffalo is averaging 34.9 points per game offensively while allowing 14.1 points as a defensive unit. BHS is also 4-0 at home this fall headed into Senior Night this weekend. Wahama has outscored opponents by 422 points this season and is also outgaining teams by 2,785 total yards of offense this fall. WHS is averaging 54.3 points per game offensively while allowing 7.4 points as a defensive unit. Wahama has surrendered double digits in points only twice this year and hasn’t lost on the road since suffering a 37-34 setback to Parkersburg Catholic in Week 10 of 2008. That year was also the last time that Buffalo defeated Wahama. POINT PLEASANT at CHAPMANVILLE Point Pleasant goes for perfection-plus Friday night when it ends the 2011 regular season by traveling to Chapmanville for a Week 11 Cardinal Conference gridiron matchup in Logan County. The visiting Big Blacks (9-0, 6-0 Cardinal) have secured at least a share of the 2011 league crown following the outcomes from last week, as the Tigers (7-2, 5-1) were doubled up by Wayne (52-26) in a setback at WHS. Point’s 41-7 won over Herbert Hoover last week in its home finale. Both Chapmanville and Wayne now have one loss in the league standings, which means the Big Blacks can capture their second outright Cardinal Conference crown (2008) in four years this weekend with a triumph. A setback would lead to a threeway tie atop the division, as Wayne travels to Bluefield for a non-conference game. Point Pleasant is also playing for more than a league title, as the Big Blacks have a strong possibility of becoming the top overall seed in the Class AA playoffs with a win. PPHS is currently second to unbeaten Shady Spring (100) by 11-hundreths of a point with one game left. Chapmanville is also playing for more than a league title, as the Tigers are currently 12th in the Class AA playoff bracket. A win would allow CHS the possibility of hosting one game, while a loss could lead to 16-team postseason borderline. Chapmanville, which is 3-1 at home this fall, is averaging 34.2 points per game offensively while allowing 18.3 points as a defense. In Cardinal Conference play, CHS is posting averages of 34.2 points on offense and 19.2 points defensively. Point, on the other hand, is allowing only 7.8 points defensively while scoring 47.6 points in nine outings this fall. In league play, those averages are 50.0 and 9.5, respectively. PPHS currently owns a 10-game regular season winning streak and has also won its last seven Cardinal Conference contests. Point has won three straight decisions over the Tigers, including a 35-28 decision last season. HANNAN at GILMER COUNTY The Hannan Wildcats will wrap up the 2011 football season on Friday evening as they travel to Glenville, W.Va. to face the Gilmer County Titans. The Wildcats (2-7) will be looking for their third win of the season, something they have not done since the turn of the millennium. Gilmer County is 1-8 this season. Hannan is averaging 9.5 points per game this season, while allowing 30.2 points per game. The Wildcats are 1-4 on the road this season, with their road win coming at Hundred (22-0) in week two. Hannan also defeated Manchester (2614) at home this season. Gilmer County’s lone win of the season came at home in week six against Tygarts Valley (20-14). The Titans have two losses by forfeit this season. The forfeits came in weeks three and nine. In the seven games played this season, the Titans have allowed 45.7 points per game, and have scored 14.7 points per game. This will be the final game for Hannan seniors Jacob Taylor, Paula Edmonds, Robert Harper, Kenneth Doss, Christopher Smith, Jason Call, James Brumfield and Mason Dempsey. West Virginia holds Big 12 welcoming party MORGANTOWN, W.Va. (AP) Interim Big 12 Commissioner Chuck Neinas said Tuesday he fully expects West Virginia to start play next season despite a hard-line stance from the Big East. Neinas attended a reception in Morgantown officially welcoming the Mountaineers into the Big 12 on Tuesday, a day after the university filed a lawsuit against the Big East seeking to clear the way for West Virginia to start Big 12 competition next fall. Neinas, West Virginia athletic director Oliver Luck and university President James Clements were peppered with questions about the lawsuit and the timetable on the Mountaineers’ Big 12 debut. “I’m not concerned because I trust the two gentlemen on each side of me, that’s why,” Neinas said. The Big East has said it plans to keep West Virginia from leaving for 27 months under the league’s bylaws. Luck and Clements declined comment on the lawsuit. Filed in Monongalia County Circuit Court, it seeks to declare the Big East bylaws invalid, claiming the conference breached its fiduciary duty to West Virginia by failing to maintain a balance between footballplaying and non-football members. When Neinas was asked See Party, 8 �Thursday, Novemeber 3, 2011 The following applications and/or verified complaints were received, and the following draft, proposed and final actions were issued, by the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency (Ohio EPA) last week.

Neinas even wore a striped gold tie and blue shirt in West Virginia’s school colors. Neinas said West Virginia’s entrance into the Big 12 was contingent on the university being available next year. “We needed a 10th member next season to fulfill our TV commitments,” Neinas said. “There’s an inventory that goes with a contract for TV, so we’ve got to be able to do that.” He said the immediate availability wasn’t a deciding factor in West Virginia being chosen over Louisville, which briefly entered the picture last week before the choice of the Mountaineers was solidified. West Virginia becomes the Big 12’s easternmost member, joining Texas, Texas Tech, Oklahoma, Oklahoma State, Kansas, Kansas State, Baylor, TCU and Iowa State. Missouri, which was left off the Big 12’s list of members for 2012-13, is expected to finalize a move to the Southeastern Conference soon. Neinas said Missouri is considered a Big 12 member until it withdraws and the league will accommodate 11 football teams if necessary. “We can do it,” Neinas said. “We don’t have it on paper. But our computers will work out to provide a schedule that will accommodate 11 teams.” West Virginia wouldn’t simply move into Missouri’s Big 12 football schedule if the Tigers leave. Instead, “we’re going to have to redo the schedule for a variety of reasons,” Neinas said. “We’re going to have to do some adjusting.” Clements reiterated his commitment to getting started in a new conference. “We were a very proud member of the Big East for a long time. And a good member,” Clements said. “But now it’s all about the Big 12. And we’re thrilled to be a member of the Big 12. It is a great conference. It’s strong. It’s stable. From an academic standpoint. From a leadership standpoint. We couldn’t feel better. The stuff with the Big East will work itself out.” Luck said West Virginia has started the complex process of reviewing details related to athletic department expenses and revenue as a Big 12 member along with looking at next season’s nonconference football schedule. “There are a lot of things we don’t know yet,” Luck said. “Clearly the television payout is much bigger than it is in the Big East, but we also would have additional travel expenses.” The issues also include finding a home for West Virginia’s men’s soccer team. The Big 12 doesn’t sponsor the sport. Teams in rifle, wrestling and women’s gymnastics at West Virginia compete in other conferences besides the Big East. “We’re just becoming familiar with the bylaws of the Big 12,” Luck said. “There’s lots of details we have to look at, but we’ll get to that in due time and we’ll make prudent decisions based on the best interests of our student-athletes and our university.” Need to advertise?

Kershaw became a firsttime winner at pitcher when the awards were announced Tuesday. Ethier earned his first Gold Glove in the outfield and Kemp regained the NL award he also earned in 2009. Gonzalez earned his first AL Gold Glove to go along with two he won in the NL while with San Diego, Pedroia won at second base for the first time since 2008 and Ellsbury picked up his first Gold Glove. “I try to be a complete player. You can always go into offense slumps,” Gonzalez said during the awards show on ESPN2. The previous three Red Sox to win in the same year were shortstop Rick Burleson along with outfielders Dwight Evans and Fred Lynn in 1979. Chicago White Sox pitcher Mark Buehrle was the lone AL holdover, winning for the third straight year. Baltimore’s Matt Wieters won at catcher, the Angels’ Erick Aybar at shortstop, Texas’ Adrian Beltre at third, and Kansas City’s Alex Gordon and Baltimore’s Nick Markakis in the outfield. Beltre won for the third time, after gaining the award in 2007 and 2008. The St. Louis Cardinals’ Yadier Molina became the first NL catcher to win in four straight years since Charles Johnson from 199598. Cincinnati first baseman Joey Votto and second baseman Brandon Phillips also won along with Colorado shortstop Troy Tulowitzki, Philadelphia third baseman Placido Polanco and Arizona outfielder Gerardo Parra. Phillips and Tulow- itzki joined Molina as the NL holdovers, with Phillips winning for the third time in four years. “It just shows my hard work really played off,” Phillips said on the show. Polanco also won AL Gold Gloves in 2007 and 2009. This year’s AL group displaced Minnesota catcher Joe Mauer; Yankees first baseman Mark Teixeira, second baseman Robinson Cano and shortstop Derek Jeter; Tampa Bay third baseman Evan Longoria; former Rays outfielder Carl Crawford; and Seattle outfielders Ichiro Suzuki and Franklin Gutierrez. Suzuki’s streak of Gold Gloves ended at 10. The right fielder, who had won in every one of his big league seasons, had tied the AL record for Gold Gloves by an outfielder shared by Ken Griffey Jr. and Al Kaline. Last year’s NL winners included Cardinals first baseman Albert Pujols, Reds third baseman Scott Rolen and Colorado’s Carlos Gonzalez and Philadelphia’s Shane Victorino joined in the outfield by Michael Bourn, then of Houston. Rawlings announced the winners Tuesday. Managers and coaches vote for players in their leagues and can’t pick players on their own teams. Breaking with the recent format, outfielders were picked for specific spots. The AL had Gordon in left, Ellsbury in center and Markakis in right, and the NL had Parra in left, Kemp in center and Ethier in right. Beltre and Gonzalez each earned $100,000 bonuses, while Aybar and Markakis get $75,000 apiece. Molina, Pedroia, Polanco and Votto each receive $50,000, and Tulowitzki and Buehrle both get $25,000. Phillips gets an automatic $250,000 raise next season to $12.25 million under the option the Reds exercised Monday. McCourt, MLB agree to process to sell Dodgers LOS ANGELES (AP) Embattled Los Angeles Dodgers owner Frank McCourt and Major League Baseball reached an agreement late Tuesday to sell one of the sport’s most storied franchises, ending a seven-year run that included four trips to the postseason before recently becoming mired in legal troubles capped by a filing for bankruptcy protection. A joint statement said there will be a “court-supervised process” to sell the team and its media rights to maximize value for the Dodgers and McCourt. The Blackstone Group LP will manage the sale, which could include Dodger Stadium and the surrounding parking lots. The announcement came as the Dodgers and MLB were headed toward a showdown in U.S. Bankruptcy Court in Delaware at the end of the month as mediation between both sides was ongoing. McCourt and baseball Commissioner Bud Selig have traded barbs since MLB took control of dayto-day operation of the team in April over concerns about the team’s finances and the way it was being run. McCourt apparently realized a sale of the team he vowed never to give up was in his best interest and that of the fans. “There comes a point in time when you say, ‘It’s time,’” said a person fa- miliar with the situation who requested anonymity because details of the negotiations had not been made public. “He came to that realization at the end of today.” McCourt filed for bankruptcy protection in June after the league rejected a 17year TV contract with Fox, reported to be worth up to $3 billion, that he needed to keep the team afloat. Selig noted that almost half of an immediate $385 million payment would have been diverted from the Dodgers to McCourt. The franchise’s demise grew out of Frank McCourt’s protracted divorce with Jamie McCourt and the couple’s dispute over the ownership of the team. The divorce, which played out in public in court, highlighted decadent spending on mansions and beach homes and using the team as if it were their personal credit card. They took out more than $100 million in loans from Dodgers-related businesses for their own use, according to divorce documents. In bankruptcy filings, attorneys for MLB said McCourt “looted” more than $180 million in revenues from the club for personal use and other business unrelated to the team. “The Dodgers are in bankruptcy because Mr. McCourt has taken almost $190 million out of the club and has completely alienated the Dodgers’ fan base,” the baseball attorneys wrote. As the former couple continued to fight over ownership of the team, the Dodgers’ home opener against the rival San Francisco Giants kicked off a year of even worse publicity. A Giants fan, Bryan Stow, was nearly beaten to death in the parking lot. Stow’s family has sued the Dodgers, and his attorney said medical bills could reach $50 million. In the outpouring of public sympathy, attention focused on cutbacks in security at Dodger stadium and fans turned their animosity toward Frank McCourt. Scores of police were dispatched to patrol the stadium after the attack. Dodgers attorneys claimed Selig deliberately starved the club of cash and destroyed its reputation in a bid to seize control of the team and force its sale. “As the commissioner knows and as our legal documents have clearly shown, he approved and praised the structure of the team about which he belatedly complains,” the team said in a statement. The team was asking Judge Kevin Gross in Delaware to approve an auction of the team’s television rights as the best path to exit bankruptcy. But the league wanted to file a reorganization that called for the team to be sold. Last month, Jamie McCourt cut a deal with her exhusband to settle their dispute over ownership of the team they bought in 2004 for about $430 million. The terms of the settlement between the McCourts weren’t disclosed publicly, but a person familiar with it who requested anonymity because it’s not meant to be public told The Associated Press that Jamie McCourt would receive about $130 million. She also would support the media rights deal worth up to $3 billion. That removed her from the number of opponents Frank McCourt was facing in bankruptcy court because Jamie McCourt had initially lined up behind MLB and Fox in asking the bankruptcy court to reject his bid to auction Dodgers television rights. All the bad publicity appeared to drive fans away. There was a 21 percent drop in home attendance from last season and it was the first time in a non-strike year since 1992 that the Dodgers drew fewer than 3 million people. A new owner would be the third since Peter O’Malley sold the team to News Corp. in 1998. The Dodgers had remained in the O’Malley family since Walter O’Malley moved the team from Brooklyn to Los Angeles in 1958. The Dodgers finished this season with an 82-79 record.

Note a tug of war between public and personal commitments. Though you might believe this is an either/or choice, it might not be. If you are single, you might yearn to settle down. You will meet some great people. Take a relationship slow this year. Let this person see you as you are. If you are attached, the two of you need to share more of your daily life with each other. AQUARIUS can be challenging. 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 You might decide to pursue an unexpected course or direction. Know when to say you have had enough. The best place to make a decision from is detachment. Tonight: Find your friends. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHH Step on stage, understanding others’ expectations. Your precision draws a strong reaction. Clearly this person doesn’t agree with you. Is it important that he or she does? Be willing to take a risk. Tonight: Work only as late as need be. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHHH You could be in a substantially different position from in the recent past. Think positively about what you need to do in order to push an idea through. Travel, a new perspective and comprehension braid together. Do more listening. Tonight: Let your imagination choose. CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHH Let others make the first gesture. They will have a strong idea of what they want, and you can negotiate accordingly. Don’t underestimate the end results of having a long-overdue talk. A little anger might break loose -- walk through it. Tonight: Relax. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHHH You could come off a bit more aggressive or assertive than you realize. Others might back away, as they don’t want to get into a tiff. Unexpected news could distract you and open you up to different perspectives. Be ready to walk through a new door. Tonight: Accept an invitation. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHH Focus on what must be done, not what you want to do. You could be so overwhelmed by another person’s demanding nature that you need to back off. You have a unique understanding with a roommate or family member. Let it illuminate your day. Tonight: Relax through exercise. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHHH You might be shocked or taken aback by what is happening behind the scenes. Your vision of what might work could be very different from a friend’s or a key associate’s. Why not try both, if possible, to determine which way is best? Let your creativity emerge. Tonight: Where you are there is fun. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHHH Revisit various decisions. You might not be sure what is best to do within your immediate circle. Be clear in a discussion about what is happening on a personal level. Others become more indulgent with understanding. Tonight: Loosen up. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHHHH You zero in on a conversation, knowing what your priorities are and which way to head. Though you are not always in control, you see the way. A loved one or close friend might cause some last-minute flak as you head down a certain road. Tonight: Catch up on others’ news. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHH You are a sign that is known to be fiscally sound, but you could go rogue when others least expect that type of response. Make sure this behavior is what you want and not a reaction to circumstances. Avoid getting into a hassle with someone in your day-to-day life. Tonight: Your treat. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHHH The unexpected plays a key role within your natural framework. You see a new beginning, though the path might be a surprise (even to you). A meeting or group of friends could be instrumental in pointing out the way. Listen to suggestions rather than judge them. Tonight: As you like. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHH Knowing when to pull back and what to do might not link up immediately. There is reason to believe that one will cause the other to come forward. Detach and gain a perspective. Listen to all information that comes in. Tonight: Vanish while you can. Jacqueline Bigar is on the Internet at www.jacquelinebigar.com.
