the story began to unfold).
The charge against Anthony

Southern’s
Literacy Night
draws crowd
By Charlene Hoeflich
choeflich@heartlandpublications.com
RACINE — Promoting
the theme of “Once Upon
a Book,” the Southern Literacy night drew a crowd
of over 200 parents and students to the event sponsored
by the ASK 21st Century
Afterschool Program, SHS
21st Century High School
Program, and Title One
reading.
Adding some mystique
to the fair tale theme of the
event was parent volunteer
Anna Wears of the River
City Players attired in princess costume carrying a
magic wand greeting each
one attending.
Southern students were
involved in numerous learning stations as well as being
treated to special reading
adventures from the staff.
One of the most popular
tales was a live presentation
from Principal Kent Wolfe,
who took the role of the ‘Big
Bad Wolfe’ in ‘The Wolf’’s
Story: What Really Happened to Little Red Riding
Hood” by Toby Forward and
Izhar Cohen. Wolfe was attired in “Wolf’s clothing”
complete with face paint to
give the full effect to the performance.
“Yes, we all have fun
with this and that is part
of what learning is about,”
commented the principal.
“We felt our expectations
were met for an event that
was filled with many activities and a lot of fun for the
family,” he added. “We are
now looking forward to having our math and science
expo this spring as another
way to increase family involvement. Having family
involvement is an important
part of having a successful
school.”
Each child attending received a free book, and additionally thanks to efforts
from the Title I secretary
Vicki Northup, each person
there received a free hot dog,
popcorn, and drink along
with other snacks provided
by the sponsoring programs.
An incentive card good for
special rewards during the
school day were also presented to deserving students.
Such incentives included
extra recesses, homework
passes, popcorn, and a walk
to get ice cream. Sponsors
of the event were Powell’s
Foodfair, Nickle’s Bakery,
and the Southern Elementary PTO.

it gets kind of frustrating,” he said.
“We want that clinic here. We want
it for the veterans. We need it five
days a week.”
Jeffers reported that, as a veterans service officer, he has fielded
many of the complaints concerning the VA Clinic and has reported
those concerns to officials at the
Huntington VA Medical Center —
the facility that provides doctors and
services at the Gallipolis VA Clinic.
However, Jeffers is now encouraging all veterans who believe they
have experienced sub-par service at
the facility to contact the Huntington VA directly.
“I catch a lot of the veterans problems. They call here and say, ‘Keith,
I went to the clinic, this is my experience, this is what happened,’ and
I have been taking them and passing them on to the VA, kind of like
a middle person, so that there are no
problems between the veteran and
the veteran’s administration; but
they’ve not done anything with the
complaints,” Jeffers said. “When
Huntington hears it from me they
say, ‘it’s just that service officer.’ …
I was fielding a lot of those calls but
now what I’ve starting doing is I tell
them, ‘call the patient advocate in
Huntington, West Virginia, let them
know who you are, that you use the
clinic and this was the problem.’ …
They can’t call me and expect it to
carry as much weight as if they call
Huntington and register that complaint with the patient advocate.
They’ll hear them.”
In a statement prepared by Deborah Brammer, Public Affairs Officer
VA Medical Center in Huntington,
the current hours and staffing at the
Gallipolis clinic have remained at
an appropriate level in accordance
with the number of veterans currently utilizing the facility.
“Dr. Jeffrey Breaux, Chief of
Staff at the Huntington VA Medi-
sible, in this situation. However, as of now, the county
commission’s hands seem to
be tied.
“He’s still the sheriff,”
Handley said. “We (the
county commission) took
the complaints and referred
them to the state police, and
now it’s up to the justice system to do its part.”
Handley explained, in
terms of protocol, the chief
deputy steps into the lead roll
Sunday Times Sentinel • Page A2
in the sheriff’s department
when the sheriff is unavailable. Handley said commissioners had not spoken with
Anthony since his arrest.
According to Starcher,
Anthony was arrested without incident along U.S. 35
Thursday night and transported to the Western Regional Jail. Since the arrest
occurred in Putnam County,
Anthony was arraigned in

mately 800 veterans are currently
utilizing the facility, including a
large number of individuals from
Meigs and Mason Counties, and, in
an effort to help push the number of
veterans utilizing the facility over
the 1,000 mark, the Gallia County
Veterans Service Office will be relocating it’s operations later this
month.
“In another effort for us to try to
make that clinic work, we are going
to move our office,” Jeffers said.
“We’re going to move right beside
them in the same building. When
veterans come to see us with problems and medical issues we are going to escort them around and say,
‘here, sign up with the Veterans Administration.’ By the same token, I
would think, that when they have a
veteran there that has a problem that
may need to file a claim for disability benefits or compensation, they’ll
send them around to us and we’ll
file a claim with the VA for them —
which is a win-win situation. It puts
us close to them, them close to us
cal Center, recently travelled to
Gallipolis to meet personally with
Keith Jeffers, Gallia County Veterans Service Officer, to discuss the
clinic. As explained in that meeting, the current staffing and hours of
operation of the Gallipolis Clinic is
considered appropriate for the number of patients enrolled there. The
clinic’s workload does not indicate
an opportunity for expansion in the
foreseeable future.
The Medical Center has continued efforts to recruit a permanent
physician for Gallipolis since announcing the clinic’s opening last
year. In the interim, VA staff from
Huntington will continue to provide
coverage for the clinic to ensure that
Veterans in the Gallipolis area have
access to the excellent health care
that they have earned through their
military service.
Veterans who are interested in
enrolling for care at the Gallipolis
Clinic are encouraged to contact the
clinic directly at 740-446-3934.”

The Gallia County Veterans Service Office is currently located on
Jackson Pike in Spring Valley and,
according to Jeffers, will be closing
its doors to the public from November 28-December 2 while it moves
to its new location. On December 5,
the veterans service office will open
to the public at its new location,
323B Upper River Road, behind the
Super 8 Motel and next to the VA
clinic.
“They have a perfect opportunity
to make this thing work. People care

“All the years that we worked for it,
now we’ve got it, and we want it to
work.”

Are you interested in being part of the local food initiative?
The latest Economic Research Service Report of
November 2011 just issued
results of a national 2008 agricultural survey. Marketing
of local foods was $4.8 billion in 2008 through direct
to consumer and intermediate channels. Small farms
(those with less than $50,000
in gross annual sales) accounted for 81 percent of all
farms reporting local food
sales. They averaged $7,800
in local food sales per farm
and were most likely to rely
on farmers’ markets and
roadside stands.
Find out how you can be
part of the Meigs County
Local Food initiative by attending a meeting of the Big
Bend Farmers and Artisans
Market on November 14
from 6:30 p.m.to 8:30 p.m.
at the Meigs County Extension Office 117 E. Memorial Drive Pomeroy (next to
Holzer Clinic Meigs). Derek
Brickles, who is heading up
the current Big Bend Farmers & Artisans Market located this past summer on
the Pomeroy parking lot is
interested in bringing together more entrepreneurs
to develop the market to its
potential. One item is to get
approved to redeem Senior
Citizen Produce Vouchers.
Attend and bring your ideas
as to how to improve the
local farmers’ market’s experience call 992-6696 for

Thousands of Ohio
veterans missing
out on bonuses
COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP)
— The state estimates that
about 90,000 eligible military
veterans are missing out on
Ohio bonuses of up to $1,000.
Spokesman
Michael
McKinney with the Ohio Department of Veterans Services
tells The Columbus Dispatch
that the agency tries to spread
the word about the program
using radio ads, social media
and booths at fairs and veterans events.
Voters in 2009 approved
a $200 million bond issue to
fund bonuses for veterans of
the Persian Gulf, Afghanistan and Iraq wars. More than
$41 million has been paid out
since August 2010.
Similar bonuses were
awarded to those who fought
in World Wars I and II, Korea
and Vietnam.
Veterans Services assistant
director Jason Dominguez
tells The Cincinnati Enquirer
a bonus is not an entitlement
— it’s a thank you.

The French Art Colony to
host ‘Trees of Imagination’
GALLIPOLIS — Imagine a gallery of Christmas trees, each one capturing the magic of the imaginations
of children and the wonder of the Season. This year the French Art Colony,
regional mutli-arts center, is recruiting
local youth groups and classrooms to
participate in “The Trees of Imagination”, a special exhibit of Christmas
trees decorated by youth.
Each group will decide on a theme
then turn their creativity loose as they
create the ornaments, tree-topper and
base decorations. The themes are limitless; they can be anything from traditional Christmas themes like “snowmen” or “stars” to more unique ideas,
such as “jungle”, “recycle” or a favorite color.
The rules are simple: The tree must
be artificial (any color) and should be
4 feet to 8 feet tall. All decorations
must be hand-made by the children.
Adult leaders/teachers may guide the
youth through the process. Trees may
be lighted or without lights. The lights
may not have ornaments toppers.
Youth teams and their leaders will
set-up and decorate their trees on Friday, December 9, from 10 a.m. to 6
p.m., or Saturday, December 10, from
10 a.m.-2 p.m.. The trees will be on
display beginning with the FAC Kids
Christmas Party December 10, from
3-6 p.m., and will run through Saturday, December 17, during normal
gallery hours: Sunday, 1-5 p.m.; Tuesday-Friday, from 9 a.m.-4 p.m. and
Saturday, from 10 a.m.-3 p.m.
Visitors admiring the trees will be
encouraged to “vote” for their favorite
trees for 25 cents per vote. The group
creating the tree with the most votes
will win a Riverby Theatre Guild Puppet Party, complete with a puppet performance for the group, at the FAC
or in their school, along with puppet
making activities and more. Funds
received from the “voting” process
will support the French Art Colony’s
programming, including educational
outreach and FAC Kids activities.
A limited number of trees are available for use from the FAC. Groups
may also provide their own artificial
tree for the display. Participation in
“The Trees of Imagination” is free, as
is the FAC Kids Christmas Party event
and experiencing the exhibit.
For more information on The
French Art Colony’s “The Trees of
Imagination”, please contact Joseph

limited and advance registration is
required by December 3. For a complete list of French Art Colony Holiday events and activities, visit www.

that almost two million Ohioans are
family caregivers, and the economic
value of the caregiving they provide
is estimated at $14.2 billion. In 2009,
this was about 20 percent more money
than Ohio’s total Medicaid spending,
and about 10 times as much as Ohio
spends on home and communitybased services.
The Area Agency on Aging District
7’s (AAA7) Family Caregiver Support Program offers counseling, training and respite services to help family
caregivers. The program also provides
information about available services
for family caregivers and their loved
ones, as well as assistance in gaining
access to those services. Our organization is pleased to have the opportunity
to formally recognize and celebrate
the vital role family caregivers play.
This year, we are encouraging individuals to speak out and seek assistance. We urge family caregivers to
protect their own health and safety as
well as their loved ones. We ask places
of business to recognize that employees are often providing care for loved
ones and may need assistance. The
Family Caregiver Support Program
at the AAA7 can help, and we are as
close away as a phone call. Simply
call us toll-free at 1-800-582-7277.
Family caregiving is an issue for all
of us. It has been said that there are
four kinds of people in the world –
those who have been caregivers, those
who are currently a caregiver, those
who will be caregivers, and those who
will need a caregiver. None of us will
be excluded. Take action this month to
reach out and assist a family caregiver
by providing a meal, a ride, or some
respite time for them. And remember
to call our Agency if you need assistance or just someone to speak with.
November is National Family Caregiver Month
Area Agency on Aging District 7
OHIO VALLEY — National Family Caregiver Month is observed every
November around the world to draw
attention to the many challenges facing family caregivers, to advocate for
public policy to address family caregiver issues, and to raise awareness
about the community programs which
support family caregivers.
Who is a family caregiver? Family
caregivers provide $375 billion dollars of “free” caregiving services for
their older adult loved ones to support our healthcare system. “Family”
caregivers are those individuals who
provide care to a loved one who is
chronically ill or disabled. I place the
word “family” in quotations because
it is meant to also include the close
friends, neighbors, partners, or anyone who has an emotional attachment
to the care recipient and who acts like
family.

Opinion
Patients routinely treated disrespectfully?
By Margaret
Moslander
Countless times every
day, a patient is made to
wait long past a scheduled
appointment time to see a
physician or other medical
professional, or is given
only 10 or 15 minutes when
he is seen, or is seen less
as a whole person than as
a set of symptoms, or can’t
get straightforward answers
to his questions, or is faced
with the overwhelming task
of negotiating a complex
medical system on his own.
Powerless, frustrated,
and “disrespected”
Having to wait past one’s
appointment time is a persistant problem, albeit one
that is not often discussed.
Press Ganey, a company
that conducts patient satisfaction survey research and
describes itself as providing “health care improvement services” to the health
care industry, reported in a
2009 white paper that “one
important aspect of the patient encounter that tends to
be overlooked is time spent
waiting before a patient
sees a physician.”
The paper cites survey
data the firm collected that
showed the “average wait
time patients spend waiting
to see their provider is 24
minutes,” and that, “at some
practices, patients are made
to wait significantly longer,
in some cases hours.”
According to Press
Ganey’s white paper, “when
a patient is waiting to see a
physician,” the delay can
cause not only “mere annoyance,” but also, “physical and emotional discomfort and anxiety.”
Carolyn Marsh, spokesperson for the Picker Institute, a non-profit that advocates for and promotes
patient-centered
care,
agreed that the habit of physicians and other health care
providers of keeping patients waiting for their appointments was “too common,” and that the patient
in those circumstances is
“made to feel unimportant,
overlooked and — if she
or he happens to ask how
much longer the wait will
be — presumptuous.”
From the point of view of
patients, March continued,
“if they are sick enough to
go see a doctor, the doctor
should have the decency to
treat their illness seriously
and with dispatch.”

issues for the last 10 years.
She identified long wait
times to have blood tests
conducted as “another common experience” faced by
patients. “I hear patients
say over and over again that
they were waiting in the lab
for an hour and a half after
their appointment time to
get blood-work done,” she
said.
Patients, Hallisy observed,
“are
already
stressed…often they have
to get back to work, and
can’t afford to take 2 extra
hours out of their day, especially in this economy. Patients feel disrespected and
extremely frustrated.”
According to Hallisy, the
impact is not limited to a
single interaction: “Because
this happens over and over
again,” she continued, “patients develop this low-level
chronic anxiety about having to deal with the health
care system. They wind up
worrying that the long wait
time just to see the doctor is
just the tip of the iceberg,
and that there’s real uncertainty about what will come
next.”
Ready, set, go
Scheduling patients for
short appointments — perhaps only 10 or 15 minutes
long — is today’s medical
status quo. But, for patients,
it is a status quo with serious consequences.
Dr. Elizabeth Rider,
director of academic programs at the Institute for
Professionalism and Ethical
Practice at the Boston Children’s Hospital, pointed to a
frequen occurance: appointment time is limited and the
patient either is not aware
of the constraint on time
or simply is not monitoring
the time remaining in the
appointment. That circumstance combined with what
she described as the tendency of many doctors to latch
on to the first concern that
a patient voices results in
many patients coming away
from their appointment
feeling as though they have
not been treated well.
After a rushed interaction, said Dr. Nancy Cochran, a professor at Dartmouth Medical School,
“There is no question that
patients feel devalued…We
hear that anecdotally all the
time.”
“A patient can come in
and say ‘My child has a sore
throat and a runny nose.’
It’s the physician’s job
to ask, ‘Is there anything
else?’” Most physicians,
she said, “are loath to do
that, because it takes time.”
But this willingness to hear

all of a patient’s concerns is
crucial, she noted, because
“you have to know what’s
on a patient’s plate and what
they care about.” The patient, she said, “might wind
up saying, ‘well, [my child]
has been having headaches,’
which is a crucial piece of
health information and allows the parent to convey
something that has been a
concern.”
When the doctor has
not taken the time to “ask a
patient for their full list of
concerns,” the doctor ends
up either missing something entirely or having
the patient “say something
as they’re walking out the
door, when you don’t have
time to respond,” something that actually was the
most important thing on the
patient’s mind.
The patient, she said,
leaves “feeling dismissed
and not cared for by the physician.” It is, according to
Rider, “absolutely essential
for the patient’s emotional
health and well-being” for
doctors to be “present in the
moment, with the patient,”
even when feeling rushed
or overwhelmed by their
patient load and other responsibilities.
Dr. Nancy Cochran, a
professor at Dartmouth
Medical School who teaches
a course on shared decisionmaking between doctors
and patients, agreed with
Rider that doctors “often
assume that the first thing
that a patient reports is the
most important thing.” The
problem, Cochran, said, is
that “data have shown that
that’s not true; it’s often
the second or third thing a
patient mentions that is the
most important. Initially,
the patient is trying to figure
out if they can trust you as a
physician, so the most sensitive issue won’t even be
raised unless the doctor responds positively, empathically and warmly to the first
encounter.”
Patients also suffer, Cochran said, when doctors
“communicate a sense of
time urgency to the patient,
asking closed-ended questions like ‘You don’t have
chest pain, do you,’ shaking their head ‘no’ as they
ask the question, making it
clear it’s not permissible to
say ‘yes.’ Those kinds of
questions leave most patients with only one acceptable answer.” The effect on
patients? “There is no question that patients feel devalued,” Cochran said. “We
hear that anecdotally all the
time.”

Our veterans: Still suffering
for God and Country
By Paul R. Sebastian
It all started in the 1960s when we sent
advisers to South Viet Nam under the Kennedy Administration to stop the advance of
Communism, and I think it helped. With the
aid of Communist North Viet Nam and the
Soviet Union, the Viet Cong got stronger
and after the Gulf of Tonkin attack on one
of our ships, we sent our first contingent
of combat troops. The Viet Cong continued to get stronger, and we sent even more
troops until the number grew to 543,482
by April 30, 1968. The public, especially
young liberals, vehemently demonstrated
for withdrawal of all troops until the Nixon Administration abandoned South Viet
Nam to the Communists in 1973, naively
believing that they would follow the terms
agreed upon through long negotiations.
Some 58,000 men made the ultimate sacrifice in Viet Nam, and of the 2,709,918
who served there, many of the surviving
850,000 veterans (a much lower longevity
than the national average of 74 years old)
are still suffering to this day…….perhaps
1,000 in Gallia County.
Never in our history have veterans been
treated so shamefully after returning from
war. After sacrificing a year of their lives
in Viet Nam risking life and limb, these
veterans came back to face shameful abuse
instead of gratitude for serving our country. They were called baby killers, jeered,
spat upon and ostracized. The great majority did not volunteer for Viet Nam as such;
24 percent were drafted. They did not want
to fight in any conflict. War is hell. They
did not elect to be draft dodgers or flee as
cowards to Canada. They obeyed the call
to duty from their country and generally
served to the best of their ability with valor
and sacrifice in the sweltering jungle heat
in the midst of booby traps, not knowing
who is friend and who is foe in each village. No wonder big mistakes were made
at times. One former student of mine with
terrible war experiences (Rio Class of
1997 I believe) to this day is so paranoid
that he is afraid to walk into a department
store, expecting to be stared at, pointed at,
and being called a baby killer.
Another Gallia County resident, on
disability due to his service in Viet Nam,
instinctively has the urge to dive for cover when a car backfires or a fire cracker
goes off. He still has panic attacks, PTSD,
a heart problem, and can’t stand crowds.
It’s very scary to be on perimeter guard
duty at night around a jungle outpost fixing helicopters and keeping them in the
air. John Stapleton related that he had to
wade through a swamp full of Agent Orange, causing the peeling of his skin and
numbness even today. The scars remain.
Twenty, 30, and 40 years later, one veteran
after another has come down with cancer
due to agent orange, a strong carcinogen with long-range effects. Troops were

sometimes in the area when it was sprayed
to defoliate the jungle to expose the Viet
Cong and their movements. Agent orange
was in the dust that would be stirred up
and inhaled every time a truck passed. According to the Bill Mangus, Commander
of our local VFW chapter, more veterans
have died from agent orange after the war
than who were actually killed in combat
during the war. He also claims that some
have numbness and heart disease from it.
Only recently, after 41 years, was he diagnosed with the common Post Traumatic
Stress Disorder or PTSD, which may include paranoia, fear of crowds, nightmares, flashbacks, etc.
Thousands and thousands are still suffering for their country — some over 40
years later. The maimed with loss of limbs
or limited use of them, scars, numbness
and other physical ailments are more obvious. But what about the less obvious,
who continue to suffer from the mental
and emotional scars, especially PTSD?
Most can still function, but others cannot,
including a number of homeless veterans.
Many don’t want to talk about their war
experience; war is hell. It’s not the glory
of a John Wayne war movie or a zip & zap
video game.
Today, we have a new generation of
veterans who have served in the two Gulf
Wars and Afghanistan — suffering the
same as the veterans who preceded them,
except for the effects of agent orange.
I, as a peace time veteran, had it easy
with a great assignment in Orleans, France
and got to see most of western Europe and
the Holy Land. So, there isn’t much to
thank me for except for trying to be ready
in case of a Soviet onslaught. Thank God
it never happened, since that would have
been World War III — after Khrushchev
put up his wall in Berlin in 1961. But we
owe so much more to our veterans who
served in foreign wars. Visit your local VFW and American Legion halls and
you’ll meet them. (I’m not even eligible
for the former and barely for the latter.)
So, our country has a great debt of gratitude to our veterans, both living and dead,
especially those who have served in foreign wars. Thank you all so much for what
you have done for God and Country and
so many are continuing to do to this day,
still nursing the after-effects. And you,
dear reader, anytime you meet a veteran,
or see one wearing a Viet Nam cap in the
mall, please thank him — even if you were
against the war — because he still tried to
serve you. He’ll appreciate it. For the Viet
Nam vet, it’s a long time coming. They tell
me that only recently did they receive any
thanks. There wasn’t any then. And finally,
please pray for all vets and those who are
now on active duty.

“America’s mission in the world continues as tyrants oppress the weak. American
men and women who serve walk in harm’s
way in remote locations throughout the
world to help bring about freedom, continuing to uphold the values and ideas of our
country that were set forth 235 years ago.
“To the families and friends of those who
have fallen in the line of duty, to those who
have served and sacrificed on behalf of our
cause, I offer my deepest respect and gratitude. They and their families must never be
forgotten.”

The event was coordinated by Kim McClain, ASK director, and Meg Guinther, the
Southern Literacy Coach with a great deal
of behind the scenes work from Northup
and Art Teacher Debra Wallace. Getting
excited about reading and learning to read
well is what this is all about,”: said Guinther. McClain agreed, “Teaching children
to read well early is very important to their
education. It takes teachers, parents, grandparents and everyone involved to let the
students know that reading is important.”
21st Century Grant Director Scott Wolfe
commended McClain and Guinther for
the job they did in creating the program,
thanked the children who participated
and the families for supporting them and
praised the teachers, volunteers, and staff
for their efforts.
Reading Theater performances were presented by two second grade classrooms—
Jenni Roush’s 2nd grade performed “Half
Chick” a Puerto Rican fairy tale; and Angie
Smith’s 2nd grade which performed “The
Cheetah and The Sloth,” a fractured fairy
tale based on “The Tortoise and The Hare.”
McClain described the program as a
chance to show off some of the things we
do in the ASK afterschool program to the
parents and the community. “Last year we
had a great program, but we were not satisfied with the turnout. Tonight was a home
run!m” she said. I
Make-n-Take Literacy activities, literacy games, a book-walk, Literacy Wheel
of Fortune, Gingerbread House Making,
and storytelling were among the hands-on
activities presented in the forum. Winners
of t-shirts donated by the Meigs County

Jubel Linton, Lincoln Rose, and Lexi Hale.
Winners of theme baskets provided by
ASK/SHS were Jace Hill, Marissa Johnson, Brayden Otto, Hunter Person, Kristin McKay, Clair Bradbury, Tanner Lisle,

Lady Eagles fall to TCC in state semis
By Bryan Walters
bwalters@mydailytribune.com
FAIRBORN, Ohio — The season is over, but the legacy
remains.
The Eastern volleyball team had its historical campaign
come to an end Friday afternoon in the Division IV state
semifinals following a 22-25, 25-8, 25-20, 25-12 setback to
Tuscarawas Central Catholic at the Ervin J. Nutter Center
on the campus of Wright State University.
The Lady Eagles (27-1) showed no signs of the jitters
in their first-ever state volleyball match, as the Green and
White jumped out to a pair of six-points leads en route to an
early three-point win.
The reigning state runner-up Saints (24-4), however,
marched right past Eastern in Game 2 to knot the match at
one, then held on in Game 3 for a 2-1 match edge headed
into Game 4.
TCC never trailed in the finale and was ahead by as
many as 15 points before wrapping up the 13-point decision and the match.
Tuscarawas Central Catholic, with the triumph, advances to its second straight D-4 championship match Saturday
— where the Saints will face St. Henry at 6 p.m. The Lady
Redskins (27-1) fended off Sycamore Mohawk 25-9, 23-25,
25-19, 12-25, 15-11 in the second semifinal Friday evening.
For Eastern, it was tough watching such an accomplished season come to a halt. The Lady Eagles won their
16th straight sectional title and also won the program’s seventh district crown in the last 10 years.
EHS set school records by reaching the regional final,
advancing to state, and even winning Game 1 at the state
tournament. The 27 wins are also the most in school history,
as well as the program’s longest ever-winning streak.
Still, seeing something so good come to an end was hard
for ninth-year EHS coach Howie Caldwell afterwards. He
also gave credit where credit was due.
“I thought Tuscarawas Central Catholic played very well
in the last three games. They got us to do some things that
we hadn’t done all year long,” Caldwell said. “We didn’t
play very quick today and they blocked us exceptionally
well.
“I don’t want to tarnish what we have done during the
course of this year, because there aren’t too many teams

Big Blacks crush Ritchie
County in first round game, 41-0
By Andy Layton
Sports Correspondent
POINT PLEASANT, W.Va. —
It’s been a long time coming.
The No. 1 seed Point Pleasant Big
Blacks were able to defeat the No. 16
seed Ritchie County Rebels 41-0 in
front of a capacity crowd to end a 32
year playoff winless streak.
“Once again, it was another great
team performance” said Head Coach
Dave Darst. “Our defense played a
great game and our offense continued to put up big numbers, especially
our quarterback.”
Senior quarterback Eric Roberts
completed another great performance with a 12 out of 15 passing
night for 211 yards. Fellow senior
Brandon Toler had another big receiving game with 2 receptions for
88 yards.
The rushing game was a balanced
effort — sophomore Teran Barnitz
had 13 rushes for 57 yards, sophomore Chase Walton had 3 rushes for
49 yards, and junior Marquez Griffin
had 10 rushes for 41 yards.
The Point Pleasant defense had
maybe their most impressive performance of the season, allowing just
59 total yards to the visitors. The
visiting team attempted five passes
on the night — the same number
of sacks for the Big Blacks. Junior
Hunter Bellamy had three of those
sacks.
The Rebels had the first possession of the game and promptly went
three and out to start the night.
The Big Blacks offense did not
take long to get started – receptions by Jerrod Long and Marquez
Griffin along with runs from Teran
Barnitz and Griffin ended with a 17
yard touchdown reception by Layne
Thompson from Roberts. The Josh
Parsons extra point was good.
The Ritchie County offense
would hit back to back slant passes
on the next drive for gains of 8 yards
a piece before senior defensive
tackle Trey Livingston — playing
his first defensive snaps since the
Ravenswood game — deflected a
ball that went backwards for a 12
yard loss. After a quarterback run on
second down, Hunter Bellamy and
Jerrod Long combined on a sack on
third down to force a punt.
Another lengthy Point Pleasant
drive ensued on the next possession
with Chase Walton, Griffin, and Barnitz all having key plays on the drive
and senior fullback Jerrod Long
punching it in from 4 yards out. The
Parsons extra point was good again.
The next Rebels drive ended
quickly again after a loss on second
down by Chase Walton and a sack on
third down from Hunter Bellamy.
The next Point Pleasant drive
would start with a big 30 yard reception by senior tight end Jason
Stouffer but would stall and end in a
field goal attempt from Parsons. The
snap was high and Toler’s run was
short of the first down.
The Rebels offense went three
and out again and were forced to
punt with less than 2 minutes left in
the half. The Point Pleasant passing
attack would shine as Roberts connected with Barnitz, Walton, and

FRANKFORT, Ky. —
Three University of Rio
Grande standouts were
named to the All-Mid-South
Conference volleyball team
prior to the league’s postseason tournament last weekend.
Junior libero Lauren
Raines (Albany, Ohio), junior outside hitter Whitney
Smith (Albany, Ohio) and
junior middle blocker Erin
Sherman (South Webster,
Ohio) represented the RedStorm on the squad.
Rio Grande finished its
season 21-15 after a semifinal round loss to eventual
tourney champion Lindsey
Wilson.
Raines was also named as
an academic all-conference
honoree along with teammates Nicole Ogg (Albany,
Ohio) and Kelsey Martin
(Jackson, Ohio), both of
whom are sophomore defensive specialists. Honorees
must be at least a sophomore
and have a 3.25 and above
grade point average on a 4.0
scale.
Campbellsville University’s Shannon Cahill was
named Player of the Year, as
voted on by the conference’s
coaches.
Joining Cahill as award
recipients were Georgetown
College’s Allyson Wilbourn
and St. Catharine College’s
Charlotte Jewell who were
named the MSC Freshmen
of the Year.
St. Catharine coach
Adam Stevenson was named
Coach of the Year and University of the Cumberlands’
Kelsey Dew was selected as
the Champions of Character
recipient.
Cahill ranked in the conference’s top-10 in three difference statistical categories,
including kills (328), kills
per set (2.9) and attacking
percentage (.248) during the
season. The Louisville, Ky.,
senior outside hitter earned
MSC Volleyball Player of
the Week and MSC Hitter
of the Week twice during the
regular season.
Wilbourn and Jewell each
provided outstanding play
during their first collegiate
season to earn top freshmen
honors.

led to two straight TCC

Tuscarawas
Central
Catholic claimed its fourth
straight 1-0 lead in Game
4, only to see Eastern battle
back to tie things at one.
TCC ran off the next three
points for a 4-1 edge and
never led by fewer than two
points the rest of the way.
Leading 10-6, the Saints
scored 11 straight points for
a comfortable 21-6 cushion.
Eastern never came closer
than 22-12, and TCC reeled
off the final three points to
wrap up the 3-1 match decision.
Whatever it was, something changed between the
opening two games — and
remained during the rest of
the contest.
“Volleyball relies more
on momentum than any
sport I have ever seen in my
life. The more aggressive
team is usually the more
successful one,” Caldwell
said. “TCC became more
aggressive after Game 1
and just took it right to us.

tournament for the first
time, but we just weren’t
ourselves. We just didn’t

its lead to 16-10 and later

Tuscarawas
Central

Eastern, which averaged
44 kills and 13 blocks in
five postseason wins, mustered only 30 kills and three
blocks Friday. TCC, on the
other hand, had 45 kills and
17 blocks in the triumph.
Brenna Holter led the
net attack with seven kills,
followed by Maddie Rigsby
and Erin Swatzel with six
kills each. Jamie Swatzel
and Jordan Parker both contributed five kills apiece,
while Baylee Collins added
one kill.
Holter also led EHS with
23 digs and one block, followed by Brooke Johnson
with 17 digs and Collins
with 11 digs. Ally Hendrix
posted a team-best 24 assists in the setback.
Johnson led the service
attack with seven points,
followed by Collins with
six and Jamie Swatzel with
four points. Holter and Ally
Hendrix both contributed
three points each, while
Gabby Hendrix rounded
things out with two points.
Megan Lawless paced
the TCC net attack with 17
kills, followed by Briana
Neidig with 13 kills and
Tori Leskovyansky with six
kills. Neidig led the defense
with 14 digs, while Anna
Thompson led the offense
with 21 assists.
It was the final volleyball
match for seniors Brenna
Holter, Baylee Collins, Jamie Swatzel, Brooke Johnson and Kelsey Myers in the
Green and Gold.
The seniors were asked
afterwards to describe the
journey in getting to Friday.
Holter, who also served
as a ball girl with this program during her junior high
years, probably summed it
up the best.
“Coach Caldwell often
says that you go as far as
your seniors will take you,
and we (the seniors) would
all tell you that it’s been an
amazing ride,” Holter said.
“We accomplished a lot this
year and it’s been a great
experience for all of us.”
Eastern, for the season,
won 79 of the 87 games
they played in. Eastern first
game win at state also came
against the team (TCC) that
its first regional game win
came against back in 2009.

Thompson and would eventually
result in a 2 yard Barnitz touchdown run with 48 seconds left in
the half. A Conner Templeton sack
would end the Rebels next possession and also end their half.
Point would get the ball first
to start the second half and after a
big reception from Brandon Toler,
Barnitz would punch in another
score from two yards out.
Ritchie County would go on
their most successful drive of the
game with a 15 play drive that
would end inside the Point Pleasant red-zone. Several Point Pleasant penalties kept the drive alive
– two encroachment penalties and
one facemask call – but the defense held strong.
The next possession of the second half would feature another
big reception from Brandon Toler
and runs from Barnitz, Walton,
and Zach Canterbury. Jerrod Long
would punch in another score from
two yards out for his second score
of the night. The extra point snap
was high and the pass was no good
– setting the score at 34-0 with 10
minutes left in the game.
A pair of sacks on the next drive
by Trey Livingston and by Bellamy and Jerrod Long would end the
Rebels possession.
The final Point Pleasant score
on the night came on the first play
of the next drive when sophomore
Chase Walton busted for a 36 yard
run. The Parsons extra point was
good, setting the final score at 410.
The Point Pleasant junior varsity team got plenty of quality
playing time in the final minutes
– with several kids getting their
first varsity statistics of their careers — Aden Yates completed
his first two career passes, Jacob
Gardner caught his first pass, and
Josh Hudson caught his first pass.
The defense was led by several
standout performances — senior
linebacker Jason Stouffer, senior
defensive tackle Conner Templeton, junior defensive end Andrew
Williamson, senior defensive
tackle Jerrod Long, and junior defensive end Hunter Bellamy.

RedStorm volleyball
season ends with loss
in MSC semifinals
Rio Grande Sports Inforamtion
Green Bay Packers involved in a
few Pick 6 games of intrigue
By Richard Rosenblatt
AP Sports Writer
FRANKFORT, Ky. — The University of Rio Grande
volleyball team saw its season come to an end on Saturday night after a suffering a 3-0 (25-14, 25-18, 2523) loss to top-seeded Lindsey Wilson in the semifinal
round of the Mid-South Conference Tournament at the
Frankfort Convention Center.
The RedStorm, the tourney’s No. 4 seed, finished 2115 with the defeat.
Rio Grande struggled up front in the loss, committing 26 attack errors as opposed to 25 kills.
Junior middle blocker Erin Sherman had a teamhigh nine kills and one block, while junior outside hitter
Whitney Smith finished with eight kills and 18 digs.
Junior libero Lauren Raines had 22 digs to lead
the RedStorm, while sophomore defensive specialists
Kelsey Martin and Nicole Ogg added 12 and 10, respectively. Sophomore setter Kayla Landaker finished with
20 assists.
Rio Grande reached the semifinal round by virtue of
a 3-0 (25-14, 25-18, 25-23) victory over No. 5 seed University of the Cumberlands in the quarterfinal round.
Smith had 12 kills, 24 digs and two service aces to
lead the way, while Sherman added 12 kills of her own
and a team-best five blocks. Landaker finished with 33
assists and two aces of her own, while Raines and Ogg
had 17 and 16 digs, respectively, and freshman outside
hitter Ally Hawkins had 10 kills.
Rio Grande’s 21-win season came with a roster that
did not include a senior.
Sunday Times Sentinel • Page B4
Moving on to the second half of
the NFL season, let’s flip through
the schedule and circle the must-see
games over the next two months.
Storylines, of course, are plentiful, ranging from the perfect Packers
to the perfectly awful Colts.
There’s also the surprising turnarounds of the 49ers and Lions, and
the surprising failures of the Eagles
and Chargers.
Here’s our Pick Six of can’t-miss
games.
Jaguars at Colts (Sunday): Looks
like this could be the Colts’ best
chance for a W. Without Peyton
Manning all season and a slew of
injuries to several other key starters,
Indy is a 3-point underdog. But the
Jags are 2-6, and more than capable
of allowing the Colts to come away
with a win. Of course, the No. 1 draft
pick hangs in the balance, and a loss
puts the Colts in strong position in
the Andrew Luck sweepstakes.
Packers at Lions; 49ers at Ra-
vens (Nov. 24): Yummy! A couple of
blockbusters on Thanksgiving, finally! And there’s even time for dinner
between games while the Dolphins
are at the Cowboys (pass the stuffing, please). The early game could
match a still-unbeaten Green Bay at
on-the-way-to-the-playoffs Detroit.
The Packers need to get past the Vikings and Bucs to remain unbeaten,
while the Lions could be 8-2 with
wins over the Bears and Panthers.
The late game is Harbaugh versus
Harbaugh Jim’s 49ers at John’s Ravens. The revived 49ers could come
into the game 9-1, the Ravens 8-2
(which would be the best record in
the AFC). Probably a good idea to
check out the postgame handshake,
too.
Patriots at Eagles (Nov. 27): Incredibly, these two could be fighting
for their playoff lives. Sure, it’s a
glamour matchup of Tom Brady versus Michael Vick, but it’s conceivable New England could be 6-4 and
Philly 4-6 when the teams meet.
Packers at Giants (Dec. 4): Unbeaten or not, Aaron Rodgers &
Co. could be facing the NFL’s hottest team if the Giants (6-2) can get
past three heavy hitters the 49ers on
Sunday, followed by the Eagles and
a Monday night (Nov. 28) game at
the Saints. Whatever the records are
coming in, though, the Giants’ Eli
Manning will be looking to show
Rodgers and the Super Bowl champions he’s a pretty good QB, too.
Steelers at 49ers (Dec. 19): By the
time this one rolls around, both defenses should still be among the best
in the league. The 49ers may have
clinched the division and a postseason bye at this point, but the Steelers
(now 6-3) could be in playoff limbo unless they get past the Bengals
twice before this matchup.
Giants at Jets (Dec. 24): For all
anyone knows, this could be a Super
Bowl preview. Well, probably not,
but the way both teams have been
playing, it’s not unlikely that playoff
position and divisional titles could
be on the line when Rex Ryan’s New
York team plays Tom Coughlin’s
New York team in MetLife Stadium
in New Jersey.
Patriots-Jets: tough matchup for New England
By Barry Wilner
AP Pro Football Writer
A month ago, everything favored the Patriots in their divisional brawl with the Jets. New
England won, handing New York
its third straight loss.
Rex Ryan’s team has turned
things around since, winning
three in a row thanks to a bruising defense exactly what New
England has struggled against
recently, and could have trouble
with again Sunday night at the
Meadowlands.
The Patriots have dropped successive games to the Steelers and
Giants, both of whom got very
physical with Tom Brady’s receivers in press coverage, then let
loose the pass pressure up front.
They hurried him into very unBradylike poor throws and mistakes.
Still, the Patriots almost never
lose three in a row; the last time
was in 2002 when, as defending Super Bowl champions, they
dropped four straight and missed
the playoffs.
“No doubts around here, and
that’s me being honest,” wide receiver Deion Branch said. “Guys
are still very enthusiastic about
coming in, getting the game plan
for this week and getting out to
practice …
” As far as the two losses,
we can see the mistakes that we
made during the course of the
game. Very coachable, and that’s
why I do know and understand
why the coaches are not all down
on us. We’re all mad about the
losses, but at the same time there
are very coachable mistakes that
were made during the course of
the games, and hopefully we’ll
try to go out and eliminate those
things so we don’t go down that
road again.”
The road is exactly where the
Jets don’t want to be come playoff time, which makes this primetime meeting so vital to them.
Sure, they are 4-2 in the postseason under Ryan, all road games
and the most recent victory at
Foxborough. But Ryan has been
stressing for months how badly
his team needs to win the AFC
East to ease the way to perhaps
the Jets’ first Super Bowl appearance since 1969.
“We know what this game represents,” Ryan said. “We’re not
afraid to talk about it. It’s not one
of those, ‘well, if we don’t, there’s
still a lot of season left.’ We’re approaching it like we have to have
this game. We want to win our division. We think it goes through
New England.”
Elsewhere Sunday, with nobody on a bye, it’s Pittsburgh at
Cincinnati, Baltimore at Seattle,
the New York Giants at San Francisco, New Orleans at Atlanta,
Detroit at Chicago, Buffalo at
Dallas, Denver at Kansas City,
Houston at Tampa Bay, Jacksonville at Indianapolis, Arizona at
Philadelphia, Tennessee at Carolina, Washington at Miami and St.
Louis at Cleveland.
On Monday night, Minnesota
is at Green Bay.
The weekend began with Oakland beating San Diego 24-17
Thursday night. Carson Palmer
threw two touchdown passes and
Michael Bush ran 30 times for a
season-high 157 yards and one
touchdown to lead the Raiders (54).
They handed the Chargers their
fourth straight loss (4-5).
Pittsburgh (6-3)
at Cincinnati (6-2)
Yes, the Bengals are tied with
the Ravens atop the AFC North.
No, they haven’t beaten anyone
special and this is their first true
test since rallying past Buffalo
five weeks ago.
But there they are.
“You have done a great job of
setting yourself in a good position,
but that good position doesn’t
mean anything if you don’t capitalize on it,” left tackle Andrew
Whitworth said. “So, it is great.
It’s more than people ever expected at this point even if we didn’t
do anything good from here, but it
is not what we expected.”
Cincinnati mirrors Pittsburgh’s
success of the past, using a staunch
defense and solid running game.
The Steelers have gotten away
from that on offense as Ben Roethlisberger becomes more comfortable with his strong group of
receivers, but the defense let them
down in the final minutes against
Baltimore last Sunday night.
Baltimore (6-2)
at Seattle (2-6)
Many in Baltimore believe
quarterback Joe Flacco and the
Ravens’ offense took the next step
with the way it performed down
the stretch at Pittsburgh. The defense already is staunch, so big
plays from the offense could mean
big results the rest of the way.
Certainly, the Ravens are solid
favorites against Seattle, which
has lost three in a row and has the
next to worst offense in the NFC.
This could be a trap game for
Baltimore with Cincinnati and
San Francisco up next, except
the Seahawks appear vastly outmanned.
N.Y. Giants (6-2)
at San Francisco (7-1)
The winner at Candlestick
Park will have the inside track
for a postseason bye. Indeed, the
49ers have a five-game lead over
their wretched NFC West opponents and are closing in on one of
the earliest division clinchings in
league history. They’ve won six in
a row with a stingy defense that
is tied for the league lead with
19 takeaways, and a steady, punishing running game sparked by
Frank Gore.
New York comes off an uplifting comeback win at New England, breaking a bunch of Patriots
home winning strings, and seems
to fear no one. Without top receiver Hakeem Nicks and RB Ahmad
Bradshaw, the Giants still had
enough offense and plenty of defense to win in Foxborough.
This game also features two
coaches at the top of their games:
Tom Coughlin and rookie Jim
Harbaugh, front-runners for
Coach of the Year honors halfway
through the schedule.
New Orleans (6-3)
at Atlanta (5-3)
A Saints win, with a bye next
week, sets them up beautifully for
the rest of the season. To get it,
they need to show more strength
in run defense and find a way to
get turnovers; their eight takeaways are the fewest in the NFC.
“There’s no question,” Saints
coach Sean Payton said. “Having done this long enough, when
teams are having success running
the football against you and it’s
second-and-2 or second-and-4,
that has an effect on your team.
When you’re the team that’s having success and are able to run the
football, that’s important.”
Atlanta is one of those teams
having some success running it
and stopping the run.
Detroit (6-2)
at Chicago (5-3)
One of the success stories of
the first half of the season, the Lions come off a bye eager to prove
they belong in the playoff discussion. A win at Soldier Field would
do just that, but they need to locate a running game; Jahvid Best
has been plagued by concussion
symptoms.
Chicago inserted itself into the
postseason discussions with its
gutsy win at Philadelphia as versatile RB Matt Forte continued his
brilliant work. The Bears, winners
of three straight, also can’t be happy with how the Lions took them
down on national TV last month.
Buffalo (5-3)
at Dallas (4-4)
Dallas is so predictably unpredictable that its .500 record is
fitting. The Cowboys must find
some consistency quickly to become a contender, and after Buffalo they face Washington, Miami
and Arizona. So now is the time,
and with the emergence of RB
DeMarco Murray, it might happen.
Remember, though, the Bills
are no pushover, with an offense
that will test Dallas’ inconsistent
(of course) secondary and linebacking. Bills RB Fred Jackson
could be even more of a force
Sunday than is Murray.
Minnesota (2-6)
at Green Bay (8-0)
No Brett Favre drama in this
one. Probably no drama, period.
Sure, the Packers are showing
vulnerability against the pass, especially the deep ball, and Minnesota gave them a tough game just
three weeks ago. With Jared Allen
coming after Aaron Rodgers, the
Vikings can offer up a challenge.
Still, Rodgers and the Pack attack have been unstoppable, sending out more quality receivers
than an all-star team could cover.
Denver (3-5)
at Kansas City (4-4)

Shockingly, a Broncos win
could put them right in the mix for
the AFC West crown, and they are
2-1 with Tim Tebow at the helm
— even if he has been mediocre,
at best, for most of those games.
Willis McGahee has re-emerged
as a factor in the running game.
Everything was on course in
Kansas City until the Chiefs laid
an egg against Miami, handing
the Dolphins their first win in a
rout. Expect a far better effort this
week from the co-leaders of the
division.
Houston (6-3)
at Tampa Bay (4-4)
Houston is cruising in the NFC
South, so a non-conference loss
here might not be all that damaging. But the Texans, closing in on
their first playoff berth, should get
back their best offensive player,
WR Andre Johnson. Without him,
the Texans have been dynamic on
the ground thanks to Arian Foster
and Ben Tate. With him: watch
out, Bucs.
Tampa’s season quickly has
eroded and the Bucs’ hopes for
improving on their 10-6 record of
2010 depends on getting hot now.
Their spotty defense has held
them back, as has the up-anddown performances of QB Josh
Freeman.
Jacksonville (2-6)
at Indianapolis (0-9)
Perhaps the Colts’ best chance
to avoid an 0-for-‘11 comes
against the Jaguars, who had a bye
last week and are no pushover, despite their record, or against Carolina in the game following Indy’s
bye. Normally by mid-November,
the Colts are in the mix for homefield advantage in the playoffs.
Of course, they normally have
Peyton Manning.
Jacksonville is the only team
to have scored fewer than 100
points. But the Jags get after
teams on defense and it doesn’t
take a whole lot of that to beat the
Colts these days.
Arizona (2-6)
at Philadelphia (3-5)
So the Eagles are back on the
rise, ready to make a run for the
postseason. That’s what a whole
lot of folks thought until Monday
night’s home loss against Chicago.
Philly is missing the decisive
touch. All season, it has failed
to put away opponents in the
fourth quarter, whether it be with
dropped passes, missed blocks or
penalties on offense, or sloppy
work on defense.
The Cardinals found one
unique way to win, breaking a
five-game slide when Patrick Peterson returned a punt 99 yards in
overtime against St. Louis. Peterson broke every rule in the special
teams book with that one. Don’t
think anybody in the Valley of the
Sun is complaining.
Tennessee (4-4)
at Carolina (2-6)
Two teams in rebuilding mode
with new coaches and, despite
neither being a winner right now,
two decent resumes.
The Titans were 3-1 and have
gone downhill the last month,
but if they can ever get RB Chris
Johnson on track, they could challenge for a winning record.
Carolina, coming off a bye,
has one of the NFL’s most exciting pass-catch duos in rookie QB
Cam Newton and veteran wideout
Steve Smith, a prime contender
for comeback player awards.
Smith against Tennessee’s cornerbacks could be a highlight in this
match.
Washington (3-5)
at Miami (1-7)
Four consecutive defeats and a
slew of injuries have the Redskins
plummeting toward the bottom
of the NFC. They’ve thrown 13
interceptions and have 19 giveaways, both the most in the NFC.
Miami came close in recent
weeks before breaking through
for win No. 1 at Kansas City —
in blowout fashion, too. A second
victory in a row hardly would
be a surprise, particularly if WR
Brandon Marshall and RB Reggie
Bush can repeat their KC heroics.
St. Louis (1-7)
at Cleveland (3-5)
Both rosters have been ravaged by injuries, with Cleveland’s
backfield hit particularly hard.
That is not the case with St. Louis
with Steve Jackson now healthy
and productive.
All of which means the Rams
could give Jackson 40 touches
against the NFL’s 30th-ranked
rushing defense.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Monday,
Nov. 14, 2011:
This year you open new doors and
respond to the unexpected. Learn not
to come from a knee-jerk impulse.
Take your time to form a response;
practice detachment. Good will comes
forward when you become less incisive
and far more easygoing. If you are
single, you will attract someone quite
unusual. This bond easily could evolve
into a romance. If you are attached,
planning a special trip or scheduling a
seminar together will bond you even
more. CANCER really understands
you.
The Stars Show the Kind of Day
You’ll Have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive;
3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult
ARIES (March 21-April 19)
HHH You feel torn between your
professional world and your home life.
Dropping either-or thinking could be the
first step in finding a resolution to the
conflict. Let others see your determination. Tonight: Brainstorm with a trusted
friend.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20)
HHHHH Stay open to the unexpected, even if you want to run. The
unpredictability exists to help you revise
your thinking where it might be antiquated. Nobody is making demands,
per se, but your decision is yours, no
one else’s. Listen to an associate who
has a different outlook. Tonight: Find
your friends.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20)
HHH Slow down and find out
where you might be lacking information. Once you gain greater clarity, you
will be able to make changes that add
to your security and ability to function.
Let go of a controlling individual, knowing you cannot change this person.
Tonight: Pay bills, then decide.
CANCER (June 21-July 22)
HHHH You might want to rethink
a personal relationship or a business
partnership. Though you might have a
tight agreement, when one person radically changes, the agreement might no
longer be functional. Ask yourself if this
is a possibility. Tonight: All smiles.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)
HHH Listen to your sixth sense
when dealing with someone you care
a lot about. Don’t try to change someone’s mind about an expenditure.
Unfortunately, this person needs to
indulge, more for him- or herself than
anything else. You might need to look
within to see what’s triggering you.
Tonight: Vanish while you can.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
Visit

at
Ad goes
www.mydailysentinel.com
Horoscope
HHHH A meeting carries a message. You might need to decide what
you are willing to do to further a goal.
You could be most uneasy with what is
coming up. Reach out for someone at
a distance whose perspective seems
to be valuable more often than not.
Tonight: Hook up with a pal. Catch up
on news.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
HHH Pressure builds. You might
feel that if anything is going to be done
properly, you will have to do it yourself.
Perhaps you need to work on your delegating skills. Look at how you communicate. Though you could be impatient
and frustrated, a change is needed.
Tonight: Working late.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
HHHHH Your intellect combines
with an incredible imagination. With this
mix you can walk in others’ shoes and
find solutions that work for the majority.
A meeting or male friend drives many
of your actions right now. Tonight: Put
on some dreamy music.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
HHHHH Deal directly with another
person. Close relating draws strong
results. You can’t hold your position
any longer without taking action. A
partner and those you deal with on a
daily basis understand what is happening and support you. Tonight:
Togetherness.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
HHHH Release an immediate
issue. Once you relax, you will see the
situation in a different light. Touch base
with several people in the know or
who you respect. You’ll get interesting
feedback. You can see options that, up
till now, were not part of your mind-set.
Tonight: Follow another person’s suggestion.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
HHH Pace yourself. A partner or
associate will pitch in and help you
clear out more than you anticipated.
You are coming from an anchored
point of view. Be positive, not rigid. You
will want to avoid a power play if possible. If you must, turn away from matters of control. Tonight: Do for you.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)
HHHH Your imagination seems
endless. You come up with solutions
when others don’t. Team up with several creative people, and a solution can
be found. Someone lets you know how
dissatisfied he or she is. Choose not to
respond. Expect changes. Tonight: A
friend changes his or her tune.

Spicing up the holidays

POMEROY — Six weeks from today is
Christmas, and the signs are everywhere.
Stores have vast displays of trees and
trimmings as well as gift items galore, villages of the Bend area are makin’ festive
with extensive decorating, churches are
planning programs, choirs are practicing
holiday music, and programs giving tips on
how to enjoy the holidays are being held.
Last week the annual holiday happening of the Meigs County Extension Office
took place. While some who came weren’t
in much of a a Christmas spirit when they
arrived, they surely were when they left.
They learned that ‘tis the season to be jolly
and there was plenty of fun, project work,
and sampling of holiday foods which took
place before the “happening” concluded.
“Spicing up the holidays” was the theme
and there were ideas galore in sessions on
everything from cooking tasty and nutritious foods to preparing crafts using spices,
plant packages for gifts, and making beautiful ribbon bows for Christmas packages.
Five stations were set up and the participants moved from one area to another
where each one got materials and tips on
creating a take-home project.
At the craft table were Debbie Watson and Melissa Coleman who worked on
making cinnamon stick favors, sachets,
decorative items, and fragrant gifts. Further
carrying out the theme of “Spicing up the
Holidays” they created spice containers using pill boxes for a variety of herbs with
each compartment appropriately marked
with a pretty label.
Janet Bolin, a Master Gardener with
many creative talents, taught a session on
how to make a pretty bow - ones which
look like flowers, are layered, those with
triple loops and tailored ones, all puffy and
pretty.
Cassie Turner, longtime Meigs 4-H and
youth Extension educator recently assigned
to Hancock County, returned to do a program on cooking with spices and herbs. She
talked about dry rubs and herb blends used
in cooking, and prepared several foods for
tasting.
Hal Kneen, extension agent for both
Meigs and Scioto Counties, had a program
on making a kitchen herb garden for yourself or for a gift. In a kit provided to each
participant, he put everything needed - the
clay pot, the dirt to fill the pot, the seeds
to be planted in the spring, and printed in-
structions on how to do it. Kneen displayed
a variety of herbs and talking about their
many uses in the daily life of a homemaker.
He included tips on drying and preserving
herbs.
Linda King, family nutrition program assistant, gave a program on the use of herbs
and spices in preparing foods to improve
the taste and encourage family members to
eat better. She prepared a pot of soup for
taste testing to show the difference a selection herbs in food can make.
At the conclusion of the program, those
attending enjoyed tasting a variety of foods
prepared with herbs and spices. Each was
provided with a book of recipes and tips on
ways to make their homes inviting to visitors for the holidays.

Being an American essay
contest deadline approaches
Students can win up to $1,000 in constitution essay competition
The deadline for high
school students and their
teachers to submit essays
for the Bill of Rights Institute’s national ‘Being an
American’ essay contest is
fast approaching. The contest asks students to explore
the founding principles outlined in the Constitution
by answering the question:
“How does the Constitution establish and maintain
a culture of liberty?”
The contest, which has
quickly become the largest
high school essay competition of its kind, totaling
over 80,000 submitted essays, is administered by the
Bill of Rights Institute, a
non-profit educational organization in the Washington,
D.C. area devoted to educating young people about
the Constitution and founding principles.
“This contest is unique
in that it gives students the
opportunity to think about
the important founding
principles communicated in
our Constitution,” said Dr.
Jason Ross, Bill of Rights
Institute Vice President of
Education Programs. “This
contest is vital to helping
students see the founding
principles as a meaningful
part of the American experiment of self-government.”
The top three student
winners from each of five
