Cleland, 70 • Joshua Taylor Bass, 27 Weather www.mydailysentinel.com POMEROY — A five year one-mill levy for the Meigs County Public Library will go before the voters in the March 6 Primary Election. The Meigs County Commissioners gave approval for placing the new levy on the ballot at Tuesday’s meeting after hearing from Christi Eblin, library director, and employees Oleta Heighton and Connie Taylor. According to a certifi- cate of estimated property tax revenue issued by Auditor Mary T. Byer-Hill, the levy, if passed, will generate $318,491.66 ,assuming the tax valuation remains constant throughout the life of the levy. Eblin advised the Commissioners that the levy will make it possible for the library to remain open six days a week and possibly to bring back some of the employees who have been laid off. During the meeting the Commissioners passed a resolution approving and awarding Ron Evans Excavation, Inc., two contracts. One relates to the replacement or repair of three septic tanks on home sites of low income residents and is n the amount of $16,780. The other contract in the amount of $12,950 relates to construction of a waterless restroom in a handicapped accessible building to be constructed in the Meigs Soil and Water Conservation District”s park near Rutland but is contingent upon receiving WPCLF approval and funding of the award. Information on the use of FEMA funding for road repair work was discussed with Engineer Eugene Triplett with Asphalt Materials, Inc. of Mareitta being awarded the contract to do the work. Chris Shank, director of the Meigs County Jobs and Family Services, met with the commissioners in regard to the work participation program in which a percentage of recipients of assistance are required by the state to participate . Shank said the state failed See LEVY, 2 Remembering the Civil War By Charlene Hoeflich choeflich@heartlandpublications.com CHESTER — As a part of commemorating the Civil War Sesquicentennial, the Chester Shade Historical Association is presenting programs in all three Meigs school districts on what has been described as the “deadliest war in American history.” The emphasis of the programs is on the impact the war had on the country and the role of Meigs County where the only significant battle in the state of Ohio was fought. The Civil War monument on the courthouse lawn is a constant reminder of that war where 600,000 Americans died, 504 from Meigs County, and serves as a reminder of the impact that war had on the lives of Americans today. The school program is a living history of the Civil War and includes a review of things to come to Meigs County in 2013 when again John Hunt Morgan lead his Confederate soldiers in a reenactment of their ride to Portland where the battle of Buffington Island took place. As a part of the school programming reenactors Mitch and Mike Harbour display different styles of uniforms worn by the soldiers and show some of the equipment they carried. As part of the school programming, Eastern and Southern Middle School students participated in an essay contest on the Civil War. Topics for the essay contest were, the Underground Railroad, Andersonville Prison, My Civil War Ancestor, Battle of Buffington Island and Sultana or other Navy boats. At Southern Caitlyn Holter took first place with her paper on the Battle of Buffington Island, and at Eastern Haley Bissell took first with her paper on the underground railroad and Harriet Tubman’s Journey. Each received $10 for their winning essays. Kristen Humphrey of Southern and Asia Michael of Eastern were second place winners. All of the winners received commemorative Civil War certificates. During the sesquicentennial observance, the Chester Shade Historical Association with volunteers will be going into Meigs schools to tell students about the Civil War in an effort to bring them to an appreciation of what happened and the impact it had on shaping the lives of citizens. Haley Bissell of Eastern was the essay contest winner with her paper on the Underground Railroad: Harriet Tubman’s Journey. Dixie Sayre, a volunteer with the Chester-Shade Historical Association, congratulates Caitlyn Holter of Southern who took first in the essay contest with her paper on the Battle of Buffington Island. Meigs completes official count of ballots By Charlene Hoeflich choeflich@heartlandpublications.com POMEROY — Following the Meigs County Board of Elections official count of votes cast in the Nov. 8 election Monday, it was reported there was only one ballot issue where the votes will have to be recounted. The issue was in the write-in count for the Olive Township fiscal officer where Kaleen Hayman received 79 votes and Sari Putman Suttle received 80. In that instance with the vote count so close, the law requires an automatic recount. In the event there is no change in the vote count, then Suttle will be declared the winner. In the event of a tie in the number of votes, then the decision will be made by a coin flip. While some of the results of the official count showed minor changes when the provisional ballots were counted, the count change did not change the outcome of the issue or race. The Board of Elections counted 109 provisional ballots which were valid. Some were not valid because those casting the ballots were not registered to vote in Meigs County or for some other reason did not qualify to vote here. There were 15 of the provisional ballots which were not valid. The recount required to determine the Olive Township fiscal officer will take place at 8:30 a.m. on Nov. 28. Residents are reminded that Dec. 7 is the deadline for filing petitions for the upcoming March Primary Rutland mayor swears in new council member By Charlene Hoeflich choeflich@heartlandpublications.com RUTLAND — April Burke was appointed to a vacant seat on Council and sworn in by Mayor Lowell Vance at a recent meeting of Rutland Village Council. Burke, whose term will expire on Dec. 21, 2013, served as mayor of the village for the four years prior to the election of Vance who was elected for another term in the Nov. 8 election. During the meeting Council, on the recommendation of Police Chief Steve Williams, voted to hire Lief Babb as a part-time officer effective Nov. 21 at $9 per hour, for up to 24 hours in a two-week pay period with a 90 day probationary period. It was noted that Larry Lemley is interested in buying a small village owned lot that is adjacent to his property. Councilman Abe Grueser said that the village had bought the property for use for a pump house construction with a new water tank project. It was noted that the village paid $500 for the property and had about #300 in legal fees. Grueser said the village needs to check to see if the property can be sold without soliciting bids and what legal fees might be incurred in selling the property. The matter was tabled until the next meeting. Council authorized Fis- cal Officer Susan Baker to purchase a two-yearold Canon copier for $300 from Weber Construction. and to dispose of the old copier which doesn’t work. She was also authorized to purchase a computer for the village to be used for mayor’s court activity at $299. A financial report on the village was presented which included fund balances, debt information and a summary of both. The Public Works report showed year-to date revenue and the LCCD expenditures and gallons billed. Bills of $10,121 were approved for payment. Baker in response to a letter from a resident noted that regularly scheduled meetings held on the third Tuesday of each month at 6 p.m. are not required by law to be advertised in the newspaper. However information on special meetings are to be advertised. was expecting results in a couple of days and at that time more information would be made public. Shane Cartmill, spokesperson with Ohio’s Division of State Fire Marshal (SFM) said the investigator from his agency working the Langsville case wrapped up what he believes to be all of his interviews on Tuesday. Cartmill said now the agency is awaiting not only the coroner’s report but lab analysis on the fire debris. On Mon- day, Cartmill said the fire debris had been sent to the SFM’s forensic laboratory in Reynoldsburg, Ohio for analysis — a process that typically takes seven to 10 days. The coroner’s report will hopefully determine cause of death and also positively identify the victim who was found in the home’s bedroom which is also where the fire originated. The fire was contained to the room of origin but there was smoke and water dam- age throughout the home located at 34823 Dexter Rd. Investigators say the home was found locked and secured; the victim was the only person at the home at the time of the fire. This investigation is a collaborative effort between not only investigators with the SFM but the Ohio Bureau of Criminal Identification and Investigation, the Meigs County Sheriff’s Office and the Salem Center Volunteer Fire Department. As reported yesterday, the presence of Ohio BCI and Division of State Fire Marshal indicate at least the possibility that the death and/or fire could be suspicious though any further speculation is premature at this time until the autopsy and lab analysis on the fire debris is reviewed. The fire was discovered by acquaintances of the home’s occupant. Investigators found no smoke alarms.

Ohio briefs Ohio election law foes submit more signatures COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — After a setback last week, opponents of Ohio’s new elections law submitted additional signatures in hopes of putting the measure before voters in a 2012 repeal effort. Democrats and their allies loaded a U-Haul truck full of more than 166,000 signatures to deliver to Ohio Secretary of State Jon Husted just more than a week after he said they were more than 9,500 short of the roughly 231,000 they needed. Among other changes, the election overhaul shortens the swing state’s early voting period. Opponents contend it will lead to longer lines and make it difficult for working people to cast a ballot. Democrats are also trying to protect a method of voting they see as a boon for their party. ^ Jury begins deliberations in Ohio HIV case CINCINNATI (AP) — Jurors in Ohio are deliberating felonious assault charges against a former professional wrestler accused of failing to tell 12 sex partners he had tested positive for the virus that causes AIDS. The local newspaper reports a prosecutor said in closing arguments Tuesday that 29-year-old Andre Davis should go to prison because he knew he was HIVpositive and didn’t tell or lied to the women. Davis’ attorney suggested the women were promiscuous, having unprotected sex and multiple partners. He said a company, not a doctor, told Davis his HIV status. The judge has prohibited attorneys from bringing up whether the women were infected with HIV. The Enquirer reports that World Wrestling Entertainment in 2009 told Davis, of Cincinnati, he couldn’t be hired because he had tested positive for HIV. All Good Music Festival moving from W.Va. to Ohio KINGWOOD, W.Va. (AP) — A popular summer music festival is moving out of the mountains of West Virginia and taking its show to Ohio. Promoters for the All Good Music Festival on Tuesday announced that the event will move from Marvin’s Mountaintop near Masontown to Legend Valley in Thornville, Ohio. The event that draws tens of thousands of people will take place July 19-22 about 30 miles east of Columbus. According to promoters, local West Virginia officials never warmed up to the festival and a mass gathering ordinance passed in 2011 was “crippling” and levied “an outrageous tax.” Multiple lawsuits have been filed stemming from a fatal July accident at the festival that killed a South Carolina woman and injured two others. There also had been discussions of relocating to Caroline County, Va. Police in Midwest plan more seat belt enforcement DETROIT (AP) — Police agencies in the Midwest are among those planning stepped up enforcement of seat belt and other traffic safety laws around Thanksgiving. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration says state police from Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Minnesota, and Ohio are participating in a holiday period mobilization. The “Click It or Ticket” effort is scheduled to begin Thursday and run through Sunday. Michigan State Police say related patrols as part of the nationwide Operation Combined Accident Reduction Effort run Wednesday evening through the end of the day Sunday. More details about the “Click It or Ticket” seat belt enforcement campaign are posted online by the traffic safety agency.

Tony Packo’s was referenced in episodes of the 1970s and ’80s TV series “M-A-S-H,” whose crossdressing character Cpl. Max Klinger craved the hot dogs. The restaurant’s man location in Toledo is now decorated with “M-A-S-H” memorabilia. The sale would transfer ownership from the Packo family to a restaurant group that owns 26 Burger Kings. The group’s owner has said Tony Packo Jr. and his son would run the hot dog chain. Ohio bill could mean tax savings for students COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — A bill awaiting Gov. John Kasich’s signature would allow Ohio college students to use grant money for their room and board tax-free. The local newspaper reports current Ohio law says student Pell Grants or Ohio College Opportunity Grants are subject to income taxes if the money is used for living expenses and not tuition, fees and books. A bipartisan measure that cleared the Legislature last week would make room, board and meal plans tax-exempt, too. The change could cost the state millions of dollars, according to the nonpartisan Legislative Service Commission. New case dropped against Ohio man cleared by DNA COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — A new attempted rape case has been dismissed against an Ohio man who served 25 years on a rape conviction before being cleared by DNA evidence. The Franklin County prosecutor tells the local newspaper his office decided months ago not to pursue charges against Joseph Fears after reviewing the evidence. The case was formally dropped last week. Fears was arrested in July after a tenant in his Columbus area home reported that he attacked her. Fears’ attorney says the allega- tions were meritless. The 63-year-old Fears said the case disrupted his plans to get into college. He was released from prison in 2009 after a DNA test cleared him of raping a woman in 1983. He reached a financial settlement with the state for about $200,000. Vandals spray-paint dozens of Ohio school buses NORTH CANTON, Ohio (AP) — Police in Ohio say they don’t know who spray-painted graffiti on dozens of school buses, delaying the ride to school for some students. According to the local newspaper, North Canton students reported that many of the 45 buses found vandalized early Monday had been painted with the words “Panic Attack” and the initials P.A. Police Sgt. Frank Kemp says the graffiti did not appear to be gang-related. The buses were cleaned before they went out on their Monday morning runs, so some were late. Schools Superintendent Mike Gallina explained the delays for parents through an automated phone message Monday evening. Case dropped against Ohio man seen with rubber ax AKRON, Ohio (AP) — Ohio prosecutors have dropped an inducing panic charge against a man who carried a rubber prop ax into a bar before Halloween. Akron City Prosecutor Doug Powley says he reviewed the case against 42-year-old Bill Morrison and determined that, in his words, the “situation did not warrant a criminal conviction.” The local newspaper reports paperwork dismissing the case was filed Monday. Morrison was arrested Oct. 16 and spent a night in jail after a woman saw him with the ax under his coat and called 911. The ax had red paint on it to simulate blood. Morrison has been a Hollywood makeup artist and has worked on Halloween haunted house attractions. He told police he was taking the costume ax to sell to a friend. Ohio district claims victory on 9th levy try Church services Wednesday, Nov. 23 LONG BOTTOM — A Thanksgiving service will be CINCINNATI (AP) — An official held at 7 p.m. at the Faith Full Gospel Church, State Route ballot count Tuesday gave an Ohio 124, Long Bottom. school district’s levy a secure lead, allowing school leaders to start making plans to restore programs and services eliminated when the district fell into fiscal emergency after eight earlier levies were rejected by voters. Warren County elections officials’ tally from the Nov. 8 vote showed a 74-vote margin in favor of Little Miami Schools’ five-year emergency levy. That’s a nine-vote gain in the county from the Nov. 8 unofficial count that didn’t include provisional or military ballots that were counted Tuesday. The bigger margin avoids an automatic recount. There still is a single precinct left in neighboring Clermont County, which will have its official count Nov. 29. That precinct had only 20 votes counted unofficially, with 12 against the levy. Clermont’s election director, Judy Miller, said Tuesday she doesn’t expect that total to change. That would mean the schools levy will pass by a total 70-vote margin, with more than 13,300 cast. The Little Miami district northeast of Cincinnati came under state oversight after a decade of 66 percent enrollment growth had pushed it near 4,500 students just as the recession hit and as the state was cutting back on funding. Budget-pressed voters kept turning down levies, leading to deep cuts in staffing, activities and busing, and pushing more grades into the same buildings. “It’s been a long time coming,” said a relieved Greg Power, interim superintendent of the district northeast of Cincinnati. “We were in the basement and there was nowhere left to go.” Ohio schools officials say it has become more difficult to pass levies in the rough economy, with many districts needing an average three tries on the ballot. Ohio voters on Nov. 8 repealed a new law that would have cut collective bargaining rights for teachers and other public employees. Levy opponents have said the schools and staff need to cut back just like many homeowners have in tough times. The new levy will add $427 a year in property taxes for every $100,000 of home value. Bill Nicholson, a 28-year resident of a mostly rural area now dotted with subdivisions, said the steep levy could overburden some families. “Of course, I’m highly disappointed. … I just want to know how these people will sleep at night,” Nicholson said of voters who supported the tax. Power pledged that the district will be cautious with spending and will begin repaying the state $11 million in loans. He said the district hopes to restore full busing service for students in January and begin returning programs such as art, music and physical education next year. By next school year, they also will re-open some school buildings that were closed. Make Us Your 1 Stop Holiday Shopping Headquarters Gift Certificates & Layaway Available Need to advertise?

Missing Ohio man could be third Craigslist victim COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — A man missing since Nov. 13 answered a Craigslist help-wanted ad that police say was actually a deadly scheme that lured people to a nonexistent farm job in southern Ohio so they could be robbed, his family said. His father called the outlook “pretty grim” and the missing man’s son said his father had been murdered. The missing man, who would be the scheme’s third known victim, had called the job offer “strange” in a Facebook post. Two people are in custody, but law enforcement officials have released few details because of a gag order. Timothy Kern was promised $300 a week, a trailer and a truck for the job near Caldwell, his father, Jack Kern, told The Associated Press on Tuesday. He said his son was excited about the job because of the chance of bettering his life. In a Facebook post on Nov. 10, Tim Kern wrote: “Just got one of the strangest job offers. A good offer but strange. The job is to watch over 680 acres south of cambridge. Odd jobs and such but mainly just secure it. Trailer, utilities, salary. Drawbacks? No cell phone service, kids are up here, and i have to move this sunday.” Jack Kern, of Massillon, said his son was rarely out of touch and often texted and called family members. “We’re holding hope, but pretty grim, I think,” he said. One man who replied to the bogus ad was found dead in Noble County last week. Another said he escaped after being shot on Nov. 6. Before a judge issued a gag order, the Noble County sheriff said it was unclear how long the ad had been online or whether there were other victims. Timothy Kern, 47, di- vorced and the father of three sons, worked most recently cleaning gas station driveways, his father said. He said his son apparently answered the Craigslist ad Oct. 30 and interviewed for the job with a man in an Akron restaurant Nov. 9. His son left his car with a friend in Akron Nov. 13 and was driven to what he was told was the job site. Timothy Kern told family members the job involved running a 600-acre farm in Noble County. The man who escaped Nov. 6 gave police a similar account of a farm job, saying he was going to build fences. Neighbors near the property where the man escaped said there is no such farm. Instead, the area is a former strip mine owned by a coal company that rents the land to hunters. Timothy Kern said he was told there would be no cellphone or Internet service where he was going but he could call when driven to nearby Cambridge, his father said. Timothy Kern was a big baseball fan who liked spending time with his sons, his father said. “He would have called, definitely,” Jack Kern said. “That’s why my daughterin-law called the sheriff, and got the FBI involved.” One of Kern’s sons, Zack, wrote on his own website: “My father answered to an ad on Craigslist about a job opportunity involving a 688 acre farm and housing in a 2 bedroom trailer. No one knows the exact date he was murdered but it was sometime between Sunday the 13th and Thursday the 17th. The case is still under investigation. If you could keep my family and I in your thoughts I would appreciate it. The years ahead of me will be so hard. I love you dad. Rest in peace.” The FBI on Tuesday had said Kern’s disappear- ance might be linked to the farm-job robbery scheme. A spokesman for the FBI’s Cleveland office wouldn’t confirm it was a Craigslist ad or the type of job Kern was seeking. “We have concerns that there might be a relationship of the case that is unfolding down south,” Scott Wilson said. Before the gag order was imposed, Sheriff Stephen Hannum said that a man from South Carolina who answered the ad was taken Nov. 6 to the desolate area, where he managed to deflect a gun cocked at the back of his head and ran. Wounded in the arm, he hid in the woods for hours, then showed up covered in blood at the first well-lighted place he could see, a farmhouse outside Caldwell, about 80 miles east of Columbus. Last week, cadaver dogs were brought in, and authorities found one handdug grave they believe was intended for the South Carolina man and a second grave that held the body of a Florida man. Investigators have not disclosed the cause of the Florida man’s death. The Akron Beacon Journal identified the suspects as a 52-year-old man from Akron, about 90 miles away, and a high school student from the Akron area. The teenager was charged Friday with attempted murder. While his name appears in court documents, The Associated Press generally does not report the names of minors charged with crimes. No charges were immediately brought against the man. A few days after the South Carolina man went to the police, authorities received a call from the Florida man’s sister, concerned that her brother had not been heard from for weeks. The sister said her brother had responded to what she believed was the same Craigslist ad. COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — A string of robberies in nearby neighborhoods has shaken up students at Ohio State University and has the school exploring whether its police should have the authority to make arrests off campus, in the domain of the city’s police force. “Our officers already drive around,” said Nick Messenger, president of Undergraduate Student Government. “It’s just giving them the power to actually act.” Messenger and other student government leaders gathered signatures on a petition they will give to Ohio State officials demanding that the university police be given the power to respond to matters beyond campus, The Columbus Dispatch reported Tuesday. The idea is being considered by a committee announced by university President E. Gordon Gee in response to dozens of recent holdups in surrounding neighborhoods where students live. Gee has asked for a recommendation from the panel this week. The concept of letting officers handle matters off campus “allows us university police to be more proactive,” Ohio State police Chief Paul Denton said, adding that any deal would need to be approved by the university and the Columbus Department of Public Safety. Columbus Safety Director Mitchell Brown said Monday he has not talked recently with Ohio State officials about allowing the school’s officers to investigate crimes or make arrests within city limits. If Ohio State does request to expand its police territory, “We’ll try to work with them to make sure this is handled appropriately for the benefit of our residents and their stu- dents,” Brown said.

In my latest job — one I’d like to make into a career — the employees have been dropping like flies due to the economy. I have found myself becoming rather cutthroat and manipulative just to stay on top, and I don’t really like it. Is this wrong, or should I do what it takes to keep my job? — M.T. Dear M.T.: You may think that being cunning and ruthless at work is the way to go, and perhaps it is — in the short term, at least. That kind of behavior often leads to one of two outcomes: Either the people you step on as you march up the ladder will crush you on your way back down, or you will make such an impression with your successes that you will be promoted to the next level — where you may feel compelled to become even more cutthroat and manipulative. So while this strategy certainly seems like a proactive way of getting noticed, it may not end up being the kind of attention you need for longterm survival and success at work. More importantly, this behavior is not sitting well with you. You know you are not being yourself, and you also know that some of your methods may be questionable, no matter how hard you try to justify to yourself that it’s all a matter of ne- Dr. Joyce Brothers cessity. It’s always best to be true to yourself and your values and goals, so if you can figure out another way to proceed, do it. Networking, classes or simply putting in some overtime might give you the leg up you seek for when it comes time for pink slips to be distributed. Set some goals for yourself that are attainable by working harder or smarter so you don’t have to rely on your wits to get you through. The economy won’t always be bad, so long-term thinking is what you need now. *** Dear Dr. Brothers: I was living with my boyfriend for 10 years, and while we were happy without being married, we both considered each other a life partner. Then a year ago he suddenly left me, saying he wanted to be on his own. At the same time, one of our friends divorced her husband, and now the two are dating. I suspect it was all planned this way, but I have no proof. Should I confront them? Everyone accepts them as a couple, and I am unable to move on. — K.F. Dear K.F.: While your sad saga is unique to your experience, it also happens to be the oldest story in the book. It’s hard enough to be left behind when your life partner wants to break up, but at first you can at least be grateful that he’s not leaving you for another woman. You spend months trying to absorb this turn of events and adjust to living without him. Inevitably, he will start dating again. If it were a stranger he turned to, you could at least try to understand it. Perhaps you would find yourself in the same position at some point. But if he turns to a friend — someone who knew about your happiness and commitment — it is a different story. But the worst scenario of all is the one in which the two of them had it planned and just manipulated the chain of events to make it look like a happy coincidence — for them. If you were to confront them, you might find that they would never admit this kind of betrayal. Or they may admit it, saying they didn’t want to hurt your feelings by letting you — and her husband — know what was developing between them. In any case, the answer probably is not going to change anything for you in terms of what you have to do. But if you think it would somehow bring closure to this stage of your life and allow you to move forward, you can go ahead and ask. (c) 2011 by King Features Syndicate Bad economy means another scaled-back Thanksgiving By David Klepper and Nomaan Merchant Associated Press Some are holding potluck dinners instead of springing for the entire feast. Others are staying home rather than flying. And a few are skipping the turkey altogether. On this the fourth Thanksgiving since the economy sank, prices for everything from airline flights to groceries are going up, and some Americans are scaling back. Yet in many households, the occasion is too important to skimp on. Said one mother: “I don’t have much to give, but I’ll be cooking, and the door will be open.” Thanksgiving airfares are up 20 percent this year, and the average price of a gallon of gas has risen almost 20 percent, according to travel tracker AAA. Still, about 42.5 million people are expected to travel, the highest number since the start of the recession. But even those who choose to stay home and cook for themselves will probably spend more. A 16-pound turkey and all the trimmings will cost an average of $49.20, a 13 percent jump from last year, or about $5.73 more, according to the American Farm Bureau Federation, which says grocers have raised prices to keep pace with higher-priced commodities. In Pawtucket, R.I., Jackie Galinis was among those looking for help to put a proper meal on the table. She stopped at a community center this week seeking a donated food basket. But by the time she arrived, all 300 turkeys had been claimed. So Galinis, an unemployed retail worker, will make do with what’s in her apartment. “We’ll have to eat whatever I’ve got, so I’m thinking chicken,” she said. Then her eyes lit up. “Actually, I think I’ve got red meat in the freezer, some corned beef. We could do a boiled dinner.” Galinis has another reason to clear out her apartment’s freezer: Her landlord is in the process of evicting her and her 3-year-old son. The unemployment rate in Pawtucket, a city struggling with the loss of manufacturing jobs, is 12.1 percent, well above the national average. Carole Goldsmith of Fresno, Calif., decided she didn’t need to have a feast, even if she could still afford it. Goldsmith, an administrator at a community college in Coalinga, Calif., said she typically hosts an “over-the-top meal” for friends and family. This year, she canceled the meal and donated a dozen turkeys to two homeless shelters. She plans to spend Thursday volunteering before holding a small celebration Friday with soup, bread “and lots of gratitude.” “I think everybody is OK with it,” she said. “They understand. Everybody is in a different place than they were a year ago.” In suburban Chicago, the Oak Park River Forest Food Pantry got rid of turkey altogether. Last year, the pantry had a lottery in October to distribute 600 turkeys between almost 1,500 families. The pantry’s management has decided to give all of its families a choice between other kinds of meat — ground turkey, sliced chicken, fish sticks and hamburger patties — along with the other trappings of a Thanksgiving feast. The decision will save $16,000, money that can go to feeding the hungry for the rest of the year. “Do we give turkeys and hams to half of the people or do we give them to none of them and put that money back in the general food budget?” said the pantry’s executive director, Kathy Russell. Andrew Thomas, a mailroom worker for a Washington, D.C., law firm, had hoped to take his two children to see his grandmother in North Carolina. But with Christmas around the corner, Thomas concluded he needed to save money. �The Daily Sentinel Opinion Page 4 Wednesday, November 23, 2011 Supporting cost of living Tips on how to purchase safe toys and gifts for kids adjustment increases for seniors COLUMBUS — The holiday shopping season is already in full swing for retailers as well as shoppers who are eager to begin purchasing everything on their lists. But when it comes to toys and gifts, the lowest sale price may not be the safest for children. The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) estimated in its most recent report that hospital emergency rooms treated 251,700 toy-related injuries in 2010 throughout the United States. Of that number, 72 percent of injuries were to those less than 15 years of age. Additionally, the CPSC found that 46 percent of the estimated 251,700 ER-treated injuries occurred to the head and face area. Lacerations, abrasions and contusions made up most of these injuries. Prevent Blindness Ohio has declared December as Safe Toys and Gifts Awareness Month. The group encourages everyone to make conscientious purchasing decisions based on what is best for each individual child. “In the excitement of the season, sometimes we may forget that not every gift is appropriate for every child,” said Sherry Williams, President & CEO of Prevent Blindness Ohio. “By taking a few, easy safety precautions, we can keep the holidays happy and safe for every- one!” Prevent Blindness America suggests:Make recommendations to family members and friends about gifts that you feel are appropriate for your child. Be diligent about inspecting these gifts before allowing your child to play with them.Inspect all toys before purchasing. Monitor toys that your child has received as gifts to make sure they are appropriate for your child’s age and developmental level.For younger children, avoid play sets with small magnets and make sure batteries are secured within the toy. If magnets or batteries are ingested, serious injuries and/or death can occur. Gifts of sports equipment should always be accompanied by protective gear (such as a basketball along with eye goggles or a face guard with a new batting helmet for baseball or softball).Any toy that is labeled “supervision required” must always be used in the presence of an adult. Keep toys meant for older children away from younger ones.Always save the warranties and directions for every toy. If possible, include a gift receipt. Repair or throw away damaged toys.Avoid toys that shoot or include parts that fly off.Inspect toys for sturdiness. Your child’s toys should be durable, with no sharp edges or points. The toys should also withstand impact. Dispose of plastic wrap- ping material immediately on toys as they may have sharp edges.Don’t give toys with small parts to young children. Young kids tend to put things in their mouths, increasing the risk of choking. If the part of a toy can fit in a toilet paper roll, the toy is not appropriate for children under the age of 3.

Sherrod Brown Belle is a 90-year old resident of Cuyahoga County who, like so many other seniors, has lived a longer and healthier life because of Medicare and Social Security. But Belle’s income and Social Security benefits barely cover the costs of hearing aids, eye glasses, prescription medications, and rising energy and housing expenses. Simply put, Belle’s Social Security check, like that of other seniors, has lost its value over the years. That’s because while seniors’ energy, food, and prescription drug costs have increased over the past three years, they’ve only received a Cost of Living Adjustment (COLA) for Social Security this past year. That’s because of an outdated and flawed formula for calculating COLAs that does not accurately reflect the real costs facing our nation’s seniors. Last month, the Social Security Administration announced that seniors would get their first COLA increase in more than two years. But while seniors will finally receive a COLA in 2012, the increase is less than it should be to meet current expenses. Right now, COLAs are based on the Consumer Price Index for Urban Wage Earners and Clerical Workers (CPI-W). But the groups included in the CPI-W only represent about 32 percent of the U.S. population. It measures the costs of younger, employed individuals – and does not reflect seniors’ expenses, forcing them to pay rising bills with inadequate COLAs. That’s why I recently introduced the Consumer Price Index for Elderly Consumers Sherrod Brown Act. The Act would formalize an already existing Consumer Price Index for the Elderly (CPI-E) to calculate COLAs for people who are more than 62 years of age, which would more accurately reflect the needs of today’s seniors. The CPI-E would take into account seniors’ specific consumption habits and costs of living – adjusting for health care, energy, and food costs for seniors – and then be used to determine COLAs for Social Security benefits. The average person who retired in 1985 received a monthly benefit of approximately $887.27 under the CPI-W in 2009. Under the CPI-E, that senior would have received $954.52 – a difference of $66.25 a month or $795 over the course of a year. Too many seniors who have worked hard and played by the rules depend on Social Security to help pay for necessities. For others, Social Security has become their sole, or majority, source of retirement income – the result of a financial crisis that wiped out retirees’ pensions, IRAs, and 401Ks. I believe we need to reduce the deficit for our children and grandchildren. But I don’t think we should balance the budget at the expense of their parents and grandchildren. Instead of cutting Social Security, I’m fighting to reduce spending by ending tax loopholes for companies that send American jobs overseas, cancelling taxpayer-funded subsidies for big oil companies and extra breaks for wealthy investors. We can solve America’s deficit problem without creating an even greater deficit of resources for America’s seniors. We know that the COLA for seniors is already too low because it is based on the cost of living for a working person – if you’re seventy years old you are more likely to have higher health care costs than a 30-year old. Yet, despite the fact that Social Security does not contribute to the budget deficit, some Washington politicians want to make COLAs even smaller. Belle witnessed the creation of Social Security in 1935 and paid into the program throughout her working life. Now, when she and so many others need Social Security the most, some politicians are threatening to make further cuts to the benefits seniors have earned and so rightly deserve. In the 1960s, President Kennedy said, “changes in our population, in our working habits, and in our standard of living require constant revisions.” He anticipated necessary improvements for senior citizens like Belle. It’s time we ensure seniors receive the benefits they deserve – and so desperately need.

(AP) — Thirteen more current and former high school students from an affluent community on New York’s Long Island were charged Tuesday in a widening college entrance exam cheating scandal, bringing the total to 20. Nassau County District Attorney Kathleen Rice said four of the new defendants are accused of taking payments of $500 to $3,600 to stand in for students on SAT or ACT exams. The other nine are accused of paying the alleged impostors to stand in for them. In total, prosecutors allege that 15 high school students got five others to take tests for them. Rice said prosecutors actually suspect 40 students were involved in cheating but the two-year statute of limitation had expired for many. “Honest hard-working students are taking a back seat to the cheaters,” she said at a news conference. “This is a system begging for security enhancements.” Attorney Brian Griffin represents two of the defendants — Joshua Chefec, a 20-year-old accused of taking a test for money, and a student accused of paying someone to take a test. Griffin said the two were not guilty, but that the allegations should be handled by the schools, not the district attorney’s office. “You’re talking about students cheating on tests,” Griffin said. “You’re not talking about violent crime. You’re not talking about drugs. No one condones but it does not belong in the criminal justice system.” Michael DerGarabedian, who represents a student accused of paying a test taker, agreed. “I find it very difficult to believe that they’re now prosecuting kids based on allegations that they cheated,” DerGarabedian said. “Let the school handle it.” Tuesday’s announcement follows the arrests of seven people in September. At the time, authorities said six Great Neck North High School students paid the seventh, a former Great Neck North student, to take their SAT exams for them. All seven have pleaded not guilty. The scandal prompted New York State Sen. Kenneth Lavalle to convene a hearing on test security, and a firm run by former FBI Director Louis Freeh was retained to review security on standardized testing procedures. Among the new defendants, Rice said those who took the test for money included Chefec, a graduate of Great Neck North High School; Adam Justin, 19, a graduate of North Shore Hebrew Academy; Michael Pomerantz, 18, who attended Great Neck North; and George Trane, 19, a graduate of Great Neck South High School. Chefec, Justin and Trane surrendered Tuesday and are charged with scheming to defraud in the first degree, falsifying business records in the second degree, and criminal impersonation in the second degree. They each face up to four years in prison if convicted. Pomerantz is expected to surrender Monday and will face identical charges. Seven students accused of paying others to take the test were also arrested Tuesday and face misdemeanor charges. One is expected to surrender Monday due to a medical condition and one declined to surrender. The district attorney said that, as in the September arrests, the students charged Tuesday registered to take the test at a different school where they wouldn’t be known to proctors. The stand-ins presented unofficial identification with the paying student’s name on it and took the test for them, prosecutors said. COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Attempted rape charges have been dismissed against a man who previously served 25 years on a rape conviction before being cleared by DNA evidence in 2009. The decision to drop the case against Joseph Fears Jr. was made after a review of the evidence, Franklin County Prosecutor Ron O’Brien said. “After his arrest, the detectives did some subsequent investigation, we met with the victim, and a decision was made not to present the case to a grand jury,” O’Brien told The Columbus Dispatch. The case was formally dismissed last week. “I want to thank Ron O’Brien for checking this out thoroughly before he did anything,” Fears said Monday. Fears, 63, spent 10 days in jail after his arrest in July when a tenant in his Columbus-area home reported that he attacked her. Fears’ attorney, Isabella Dixon, said at the time that the allegation was an attempt to take advantage of her client. Fears’ accuser had refused to pay rent and made the rape allegation after Fears demanded money from her, Dixon said. “I believed strongly that once they did an investigation, they would determine that the charges did not have merit,” Dixon told the newspaper. Fears was imprisoned for 25 years for a 1983 rape conviction before be- ing freed in 2009 by DNA evidence that proved he was innocent. He reached a financial settlement with the state for nearly $238,000, far less than was paid to other exonerated inmates because he also served time for a rape conviction from 1984, the newspaper reported. He maintains his innocence in that case as well, but no DNA evidence was available for testing. Fears said the recent allegation has interfered with his attempts to be accepted into college.

In a “denial of jury verdict” notice sent from prison in Youngstown, 40-yearold Louis Amir, formerly of Gates Mills in suburban Cleveland, told the 6th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Cincinnati that he rejects the jurisdiction of the trial court. The court dismissed the appeal, which it noted had been filed prematurely before the case was completed with Monday’s sentencing. U.S. District Court Judge Sara Lioi sentenced him on his September conviction on all 21 counts including conspiracy, wire fraud and money laundering. Investigators say Amir and two others conspired to obtain six loans to finance a Gates Mills home for which Amir paid about $2 million. The government says four mortgage lenders suffered losses after issuing loans for more than the home’s market value. The defrauded money was used for luxuries in- cluding a $164,000 Rolls Royce lease, $96,000 in electronic equipment and a Bentley purchased for $103,000, the government said. The other defendants aided the conspiracy, the government said. One was sentenced to 30 months in prison and the other was placed on probation for three years. In the appeal claim, Amir said the trial “was administered in bad faith. Amir did not consent to a jury trial with the federal court.” Amir said he had “never stood in acknowledgement of the court’s authority.” WASHINGTON (AP) Hidden dangers lurk in some of those less-expensive toys that parents might grab as stocking stuffers this time of year like a Sesame Street Oscar the Grouch doll. The small furry green Oscar, purchased for $6.99, was one of the toys singled out in the annual toy safety report from the U.S. Public Interest Research Group. The consumer advocate’s report, released Tuesday, found just over a dozen toys on store shelves that violate federal safety standards. Some had unsafe levels of lead or chemicals called phthalates, and others contained small parts that young children could choke on. Besides Oscar, other toys deemed potentially dangerous included a plastic book for babies; a $1 plastic minicrossbow that fires off little balls and a hand-held “whirly wheel.” The Oscar doll has a small hat that could come off easily, which is a possible choking hazard, PIRG said. The crossbow’s small parts also put young children at risk of choking, according to the report. The book and the whirly wheel had high levels of lead, according to the study. But an importer of the whirly wheel disputes that, and says the company’s own testing shows the spinning magnetic toy with lead levels well below the limit. PIRG also warned about toys that are too loud and could lead to damaged hearing, such as an Elmo talking cellphone that the group says tested just above voluntary industry noise limits. Ed Mierzwinski, the group’s consumer program director, said industrial chemicals and toxins in toys were the biggest problems the group found this year. Exposure to lead can cause irreversible brain damage, and some studies have linked phthalates to reproductive problems. Toy makers played down the report and pointed to government figures showing sharp declines in the number of national toy recalls. “All eyes have been on toy safety for several years now,” says Joan Lawrence, the Toy Industry Association’s vice president for safety standards. “I am confident that the toys on store shelves are safe. The toy industry works year-round on this.” Government figures show 34 toy recalls in fiscal year 2011 down from 46 recalls the previous year; 50 in 2009 and 172 in 2008. Recalls related to lead were down from 19 in 2008 to 4 this past year. PIRG credited a 2008 law that set stronger standards for children’s products, including strict limits on lead, for helping to make many of the products on store shelves safer for youngsters. The law was passed after a wave of recalls of lead-tainted toys. Bob Adler, a commissioner at the Consumer Product Safety Commission, said some problems remain but added that new rules that require manufacturers to have their toys tested at independent third-party labs have led to important improvements in safety. “I would feel much more confident today than I would several years ago,” Adler said as the report was released.

The RedStorm finished with a 26-7 edge in shots, including a 14-0 advantage in the opening stanza. “I thought we played really well in the first half,” said Rio Grande head coach Scott Morrissey. “I know it was only 2-0, but I thought it was a good performance.

Isberner, the Mid-South Conference Player of the Year, was back in the lineup for the first time since suffering a hamstring injury of the first half of the RedStorm’s win over the University of the Cumberlands, Nov. 9, in the semifinal round of the MSC Tournament. Shortly after scoring his goal, Isberner was removed from the lineup and did not return. “I know this is going to sound crazy, but Richie got a good 25 or 30 minutes in and, at 2-0, I felt like we could take him off and give him another week to continue to recover,” Morrissey said. “That was the plan all along. He’s fine.” Doublette made it 3-0 with an unassisted marker at 65:59 and, exactly three minutes later, he assisted on a marker by junior forward Scott Bibby. “I thought our ball possession was good, that we executed and we did what we needed to do,” said Morrissey. “I think having Richie out there changes the entire dynamic of the team and See NAIA, 10 Sullinger leads No. 3 Ohio St over North Florida COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) Ohio State wants to be a premier team at the end of the season. To do that, the Buckeyes will have to feed off their defense just like they have been. Jared Sullinger had 27 points and 13 rebounds, and No. 3 Ohio State roared to a big first-half lead to beat North Florida 85-50 on Monday night. “Any team that wants to be good on this level has to turn turnovers into easy buckets,” said swingman Lenzelle Smith Jr., who had seven points, five rebounds and set career bests with three steals and five assists. “Different teams do that well, like your Kentuckys and your North Carolinas. Mostly every time they get a turnover they’re scoring at the other end. This program is just as big as that.” Deshaun Thomas added 16 points and William Buford 13 for the Buckeyes (40), who ran their home winning streak to 26 in a row. The Buckeyes forced 23 turnovers and converted them into 25 points. That’s become the M.O. for a team in transition that is trying to replace three starters from last season’s club that finished the regular season ranked No. 1. “With all the time we’ve spent defensively, I would hope that that would be something these guys could lock on to and maybe hang their hat on,” coach Thad Matta said of the Buckeyes ability to score points in transition. “You go back to the game against (No. 7) Florida, at the end of the first half and into the start of the second half, that was probably the difference for us in extending that lead.” Parker Smith had 10 points for North Florida (1-4), which has lost on the road to heavyweights Alabama, Florida, Miami and the Buckeyes. The Ospreys dropped to 0-11 against ranked teams. After building a 19-point lead at halftime, Ohio State scored the first six points of the second half and 15 of the first 17. “Those runs are hard to go against these kind of guys,” North Florida coach Matthew Driscoll said. “I coached at this level for a long time at Baylor and Clemson, the Big 12 and the ACC, and when you have runs like that you can really separate yourself.” Still, the Ospreys didn’t go away easily. Matta pulled his starters early in the second half but reinserted them because he was unhappy with the play at both ends by the subs. “Coach Matta told us, ‘Be ready. You’ve got 2 minutes (to rest),’” Sullinger said. “Of course, Coach Matta’s 2 minutes is about 4 minutes. We kind of knew we were going back in. As soon as we were back in, he said, ‘Pick up the juice. Pick up the intensity. We should be winning by way more.” After order was restored, and the lead climbed as high as 35, he emptied his bench. The game was part of the Global Sports Shootout. In their only previous meeting with a Big Ten team, the Ospreys lost at No. 19 Purdue 77-57 a year ago. The Buckeyes have won 99 of their past 100 games against unranked opponents in Columbus and are 12-0 against members of the Atlantic Sun Conference. The Buckeyes didn’t play crisply in the opening half, yet still maintained a 45-26 lead. They missed their first four free throws and first three shots from the field. But, as usual, their defense helped provide points. “This is almost like a March week,” Sullinger said of the Buckeyes’ schedule, which includes games on Monday, Wednesday and Friday this week. “(In March) you play on a Friday, you’re off on Saturday and you have a little practice, and then you’re right back at it on Sunday. It’s a quick turnaround. So it’s kind of a test for what we’ve got coming. It’s See STATE, 10 Quartet of Rio athletes honored by CoSIDA Rio Grande Sports Information RIO GRANDE, Ohio – A quartet of athletes from the University of Rio Grande representing two sports recently received District 26 Academic All-America honors from CoSIDA (College Sports Information Directors of America). Men’s soccer team members Richard Isberner, OIiver Hewitt-Fisher and Rafael Maccauro were among those recognized, as was volleyball standout Erin Sherman. Isberner, a junior forward from Sao Paulo, Brazil, leads Rio Grande with 28 goals, 17 assists and 73 points. He was recently named the Mid-South Conference Player of the Year and his point total is tops in the NAIA. Isberner has a 3.68 grade point average while majoring in Business Administration. Hewitt-Fisher, a junior midfielder from Swansea, Wales, has six goal and 10 assists for head coach Scott Morrissey’s team. The Biology major has a team-best GPA of 3.87. Maccauro, also a junior forward from Sao Paulo, Brazil, has a pair of goals and 15 assists this season. He carries a 3.57 GPA, majoring in Business Administration. The threesome has helped Rio Grande to an 18-2 record and a No. 5 seed in the NAIA National Tour- See QUARTET, 10 Campbellsville holds off second half comeback by Rio Grande men Rio Grande Sports Information CAMPBELLSVILLE, Ky. — The University of Rio Grande rallied from a 16-point second half deficit, but failed to hang on down the stretch as Campbellsville rebounded to post a 6561 win over the RedStorm in the Mid-South Conference season opener for both teams, Saturday night, at the J.K. Powell Arena. The Tigers improved to 4-1 with the win, while Rio Grande slipped to 4-2 and remained winless in the MSC since joining the league prior to the 2009-10 season. The RedStorm trailed 50-34 after a three-pointer by Campbellsville’s Justin Ennis with 15:07 left in the game, but head coach Ken French’s squad proceeded to reel off 22 consecutive points to take a 56-50 lead with 5:41 remaining. The Tigers responded with a 9-0 run of their own, though, and took the lead for good with 3:14 left to play, 59-56, following another trifecta by Ennis. Rio Grande twice pulled to within two inside the final 2:48, but got no closer the rest of the way. The RedStorm outshot their hosts (48.1 percent to 42.1 percent) and outrebounded the taller Tigers 41-31, but were victimized by an 8-for-22 showing from the free throw line — including a 3-for-13 showing from the charity stripe after the intermission. “I thought we played well, especially in the second half. We played well enough to give ourselves a See RIO, 10 �Wednesday, November 23, 2011 Sheriff Sale of Real Estate Case Number 11-CV-073 GMAC Mortgage, LLC successor by merger to GMAC Mortgage Corporation Vs James M.

The real issue will be how you handle it. Demonstrate flexibility. Often, authority figures demand a lot and get angry if you don’t respond at a snap of the finger. Recognize your priorities. If you are single, you could meet someone in an odd way. Take your time getting to know this person. If you are attached, the two of you may struggle over how much to do together. A mutual goal could be involved. SCORPIO makes a great healer, therapist or doctor for you. The Stars Show the Kind of Day You’ll Have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult ARIES (March 21-April 19) HHHH Your natural inclination toward innovation emerges. You wonder what to do to make a situation more copasetic. Not sure, you go with spontaneity. Much will change, but not necessarily all that easily. Stay centered, knowing you have little control. Tonight: Go with a request. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHH Sometimes you might need to say no, whether you want to or not. You could be overwhelmed. You gain a sudden insight, which forces you to regroup. Note your intuition and second sense, but don’t act on it just yet. Tonight: Go along with another’s plans. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHHH You might want to rethink a work or health issue. The problem might be that you have no more time for the dull and repetitive. You want to network and spread your wings. That desire might be a reason for re-evaluating. Change can be good. Tonight: Do your thing. CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHH Others really enjoy your creativity and easiness in moving situations forward. You seem to have an idea when others have none. A key person values you. This person simply has an odd style. Tonight: Just go with the moment. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHHH You might like to work from home or deal with some fundamental personal and domestic issues. To do this, changing your schedule might be necessary. Only you can judge the implications here. Certain moments can and will never happen again. Tonight: At home. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHHHH When you have an issue on your mind, you can be relentless as you try to clear, discuss or handle it. Others might look on, wondering. At present, though you’re tempted to take a risk, you might be well advised to say “no.” The damages could be unpredictable. Tonight: Midweek break. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHH One can juggle one’s finances only so much. Fatigue and disruption mark a situation. Be careful how you vent frustration or anger. Sometimes the force of these passionate feelings can put off others who don’t handle their frustrations like you. Tonight. Consider a change on the home front. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHHH You know what you want and will drive a hard bargain to accomplish just that. Someone could cause you a lot of hassles, taken aback by your drive and assertiveness. Allow more feedback; brainstorm with others. Stay open to other styles. Tonight: Hang out, but let go of today’s determination. Relax. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHH Know when to cut back and say less. Sometimes life gets so confusing, you wonder exactly why you are following a certain course. Rethink your plans and judgments. A boss, parent or higher-up pushes you to produce. Tonight: Know that you need personal time. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHHH Just when you are 90 percent sure you are on cruise control, a situation will occur that encourages you to stop and think again. Focus on meetings, getting together and seeking out experts. More ideas only provide you with greater choices. Tonight: Certainly, where the action is. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHH Take a stand and expect a little controversy. You enjoy making other people think -- why not let them make you think? A judgment might be off. Observe more at this point than judge. See where you might be causing yourself a problem. Tonight: A force to be dealt with. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHHHH Your ability to detach and understand that there are other ways to the same goal must come through if you want to succeed. If you hit a blockage or problem in a meeting, know that the jig is not up. You simply need to unleash some resourcefulness. Tonight: Be a dreamer.

And I thought Kenny played really, really well tonight. Sometimes you don’t know what to expect from him and that frustrates our players — he’s so unpredictable that they don’t know what he’s going to do. But the one thing he does that nobody else can do is, with the ball at his feet, he can change the game with his individual pace and his ability to take people on — it’s difficult for the opposition to deal with.” Madonna, which finished 7-9-5, avoided a shutout when Nick Atwood scored with the aid of an assist from Dane Laird at 78:51. The Crusaders, who were whistled for 18 fouls and issued three yellow cards, also were hurt by the loss of junior midfielder Franco Giorgi, who did not return after suffering a knee injury just over almost like a midterm for March.” Up 24-19, Ohio State went on an 11-2 run with Sullinger scoring five points and Thomas hitting two buckets. The biggest cheer of the night, however, came when Smith stole the ball from North Florida’s Matt Sauey in the backcourt and drove the length of the court for a left-handed tomahawk dunk. Sullinger had 16 points, Thomas 13 and Buford 10 all 10 coming in the first 10:11. The Daily Sentinel • Page 10 Quartet seven minutes into the match. Junior keeper Jack Marchant recorded two stops in goal for the RedStorm, while Adrian Motta had nine saves in the loss for Madonna. Saturday’s game also marked the return of Rio Grande sophomore defender Craig Davies to the pitch. He’d been sidelined all season as he recovered from knee surgery. Morrissey said Davies’ return will help the RedStorm’s chances of making a run at a national title as it embarks for Alabama next week. “I think having Craig back is going to be a big plus for us. It’s been a long time coming for him,” Morrissey said. “Now we’ll have a hard, hard week of training before head south. Hopefully, when we get down there, we’ll do our best.” State From Page 6 www.mydailysentinel.com The Buckeyes plan on continuing to rely on their defensive pressure from the guards and the inside of play of the burly Sullinger and long-armed Thomas. “Coach always says we get good shots when we get it inside,” Thomas said. “When we throw it into Sully and me, the percentages are up. That’s one of our goals. We try to be a great 3-point shooting team, but inside’s working real well right now.” RIO From Page 6 From Page 6 nament. The RedStorm advanced to the Round of 16 next week in Orange Beach, Ala. by virtue of a 4-1 win over Madonna (Mich.) University in last Saturday’s opening round.

Powell Arena. The Tigers - ranked No. 8 in the NAIA Division I preseason coaches poll - improved to 4-1 with the win, while the RedStorm lost for the second time in six outings.

Going 3-for-13 will not win Mid-South games on the road.

Senior guard Brad Cubbie and junior center Dominick Haynes had 10 points each in a losing cause.
