Wilson, Meigs County’s own Appalachian storyteller, will be presenting Christmas stories for children and adults at the Pomeroy Library at 6 p.m on Tuesday, Dec. 20. Wilson describes herself as a “teller of dreams, schemes, and perfectly awful predicaments.” She calls herself the “Meigsician Storyteller.” Wilson has performed in numerous storyteller programs across the area, and is the organizer of Tellabration which is held in Middleport each November and attracts numerous storytellers here. Christmas services POMEROY —The Meigs Local Board of Education took action Tuesday night to give exempt employees and administrators a one-time payment of $250 this month to equalize adjustments made earlier with the Meigs Local Teachers Association and the OAPSE Local. The payments to the MLTA and OAPSE were agreed to earlier this year as a part of a negotiated agreement in lieu of a salary increase. It was noted that neither the superintendent nor the treasurer of the district qualify for the payment. During the meeting, the Board adopted a resolution re-establishing the Meigs Local School District Premium Only insurance plan administered by American Fidelity Assurance Company, effective from Jan. 1, 2012 to Dec. 31, 2012. Personnel hired included Nichol Honaker as a tutor for a health-handicapped student and Charles Rathburn as a substitute custodian for the remainder of the 2011-12 school year. Chrissy Musser, food service supervisor, reported that the school’s nutrition program has been evaluated by a State Department of Education person, and that an oral report of ‘good’ was given by the inspector. She also reported that the 93 percent participation in the lunch program was rated well by the inspector. Numerous changes are in the process of being made in school lunch programs geared to better nutrition and better weight control. Dean Harris, transportation director, talked about the bus radio systems, motorists violations at bus stops, and the possible induction of bus lighting and flashing systems. He said there are a lot of ideas being injected at the federal level to improve safety issues. It was noted that Larry Tucker has been appointed by the executive committee of the Southeast Region of the Ohio School Boards Association to serve on the arrangements and hospitality team for next year. The team consists of five school board members from each of OSBA’s five regions. The last day of school before Christmas vacation is Wednesday, Dec. 21, with classes to resume on Monday, Jan. 2. The next meeting will be held on Dec. 27, at which time plans will be made for the organizational meeting and the swearing in of Roger Abbott and Larry Tucker, who were re-elected for another term on the Board, and Todd Snowden, who was elected in November. Barbara Musser, Board president, did not seek another term.

Terri Greenwald-Hill, 43, Mineral Wells, and Amy Leach, 43, Point Pleasant, former human resources and marketing directors, respectively, for PVH, recently filed the wrongful termination suit in Mason County Circuit Court. In their complaint, Greenwald-Hill and Leach say they feel the “true reason” for their termination was “because they are lesbian, because Defendants perceived them to be lesbians and/or because they do not conform to traditional sex or gender stereotypes acceptable to Defendant Board Members.” The suit claims William Barker, vice-president for business development at PVH, and Thomas Schauer, PVH’s chief executive and financial officer were “involved in, conspired, aided and abetted and participated in the [Board of Directors’] decision” regarding the termination of the two women. Along with Barker and Schauer, PVH’s Board of Directors, of which there are 19 members, is named as a co-defendant in the suit. The complaint alleges the termination of the two women is in violation of the West Virginia Human Rights Act which, the complaint states, prohibits against discrimination based on sex — including discrimination based on sexual orientation, as well as discrimination based on negative sex or gender stereotypes. In the complaint filed by Parkersburg Attorney Walt Auvil with the firm Rusen and Auvil, Greenwald-Hill and Leach further allege a double standard of misconduct by PVH male employees and certain male board members which did not result in the termination of these employees or board members. Greenwald-Hill and Leach claim that no misconduct or lesser misconduct by the plaintiffs resulted in their termination. The complaint goes on to state: “Holding Plaintiffs to a standard of conduct different from those of the Defendants’ male employees and certain male Board Members is discriminatory against Plaintiffs based upon their gender, female.” The two women are asking for an award of damages including front pay and back pay, as well as compensatory damages for emotional distress, an award of punitive damages and reinstatement to their jobs at PVH. PVH Marketing Director Tracy Call, Leach and Greenwald-Hill were contacted about the lawsuit by the Point Pleasant Register but none had comment. �Thursday, December 15, 2011 The Daily Sentinel • Page 2 www.mydailysentinel.com Obituaries Silver From Page 1 Joseph Smith Joseph “Joe” Smith, 38, of Middleport, Ohio, went to be with the Lord on Tuesday, December 13, 2011, at Holzer Medical Center in Gallipolis, Ohio.

Wayne National Forest trails closing for the season The forest will reopen trails on April 15, 2012 NELSONVILLE — The Wayne National Forest reminds the public that Thursday, December 15 is the last day motorized trail riders, mountain bikers and horseback riders can use its designated trails for the 2011 season. Trails will continue to be open to hikers.

The investment to trail maintenance made earlier in the year would be lost if trails were open for use during the winter period.

Shoes don’t help toddlers learn to walk B y D r . J oyce B rothers Dear Dr. Brothers: This seems like a silly question, but I’m not sure when to start having my baby wear shoes. He’s standing up well now but hasn’t really started walking yet. I keep him in socks right now, but I feel like sometimes he needs the protection of shoes when he’s standing or even just outside with us. I am worried that people will think I am neglectful if they see a baby with no shoes on. I know that shouldn’t be a factor, but I don’t like criticism! — B.A. Dear B.A.: Please don’t worry about what people think — you can’t live your life that way. It seems like common sense, but with all the nonessential items out there for babies nowadays, it actually can be hard to make sense of what your baby needs and what he doesn’t. Shoes will begin to serve their purpose after he learns to walk. During the process of learning to walk, though, you should allow your baby to be in bare feet. Because shoes have hard, inflexible surfaces, it can be more difficult for a child to learn how to walk if he’s wearing shoes. The natural movement of bare feet will allow him to get the feel of walking more easily than if his feet are trapped in shoes. If it gets cold, socks or booties with nonskid surfaces are good ideas. Once he does learn to walk, there still are a few things to keep in mind Dr. Joyce Brothers in terms of his wearing shoes. Make sure that his shoes are lightweight and as flexible as possible — stiff and hard shoes will make walking more difficult, and can restrict foot movement. You also should continually make sure that his shoes are the correct size — don’t buy three sizes too big in anticipation of his next growth spurt or keep him in the same shoes months after his last growth spurt. With these tips, your baby should be ready to toddle ahead to his next clothing challenge. *** Dear Dr. Brothers: My elementary-schooler has recently made a habit of using bad words. I’m very careful with my language around her, but her father is less so, and I’m sure she’s exposed to these words elsewhere, no matter how protective I am. I’ve tried to explain to her that some words are not appropriate to say, but it almost seems to have increased her curiosity to seek out such words. How can I break this bad-word habit? — F.R. Dear F.R.: It’s true that kids are exposed to an almost unrelenting stream of vulgarity, no matter how much we try to protect them. Hearing — and repeating — bad words may seem harmless, but these words become integrated into a child’s vocabulary and therefore into his or her understanding of the world. If your daughter constantly hears curses from her father, she’ll associate these words with him, and that can begin to affect their relationship. So, the first step you can take to break her habit is to crack down on her father, and break his badword habit. You can let your daughter know that there is only one standard for language in the family, and her dad is going to have to abide by it as well. It sounds like you’ve already talked to your daughter about the use of bad language and why it is not allowed, but you can reiterate this every time she hears or says a bad word. When she does say a bad word, stop what you’re doing and immediately reprimand her — this interruption and immediate response will impress upon her the gravity of the situation, and she’ll learn that it’s a big deal when she curses. Even after a punishment, you should ask your daughter to apologize for using such language so that she begins to make the connection that she is offending others with these words.

The AEP Connects program recognizes the commitment of AEP employees and retirees to their commu- nities and supports causes that are important to them, according to Michael G. Morris, chairman and chief executive officer. More than 600 grants were made company-wide last year representing more than 57,000 volunteer hours donated by AEP employees and retirees and their families. “Although no monetary grant can compare to the value of the time our employees and retirees give to worthwhile causes, the $150 grants made by this program in the names of AEP volunteers will help nonprofit organizations meet the challenges of fulfilling important human needs,” Morris said.

Sunday, Dec. 18 Ohio briefs Ohio bill would prevent taxpayer abortion funding COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Ohioans who participate in the health care system put in place by the federal health overhaul would not be able to use it to pay for abortions under a bill approved Wednesday. The measure would prevent taxpayer money used in the health exchanges set up by the overhaul from being used to cover abortion coverage. It passed the Republican-led Senate on Wednesday along a partyline vote. It had passed the GOP-controlled House in June. The proposal would still allow abortions if the mother’s life was in danger or in the cases of rape or incest. Lakewood Democrat Sen. Mike Skindell (SKIN’dl) said the measure violates an amendment to Ohio’s constitution adopted by voters in November. The amendment forbids government from forcing Ohioans to participate in a health care system. Ohioans could see March primary, end to map flap COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Ohio Republicans would concede slight changes to the state’s disputed congressional map in exchange for Democratic votes needed to re-unite the state’s 2012 primary to March 6 under a plan being discussed at the Statehouse. The deal was still tentative Wednesday afternoon. It could settle concerns of Democrats threatening to challenge the GOP-drawn congressional map on next year’s ballot, as well as spotting the primary early enough for GOP voters to have a say in the party’s presidential nominee. A House Democratic official said the compromise includes a redistricting task force to study reforms to the mapmaking process. Keary McCarthy said roughly a dozen Democrats are on board. Lawmakers voted in October to move the presidential and congressional primaries in June, to give more time to settle the map flap. Board disciplines former Ohio prison doctor COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — The Ohio medical board has disciplined a doctor who faced allegations of problems with the way he prescribed painkillers. The board on Wednesday suspended the license of Dr. Myron Shank for three months but said he could continue working during that time. The board also required Shank to take three medical education courses within six months. Shank said after the board’s hearing that he disputed every allegation against him and was deciding whether to appeal. A medical board examiner said Shank didn’t follow up on allegations that patients were selling pain pills he prescribed for them. The allegations don’t mention Shank’s work at Allen Correctional Institution, from which he resigned earlier this year after the state placed him on administrative leave following the suicide of an inmate under his care.

Some carried a mock pipeline and some had large white fake dollar bills with Boehner’s photograph on one side and oil derricks on the other. No problems were reported. A message was left at Boehner’s office. The U.S. House on Tuesday approved a bill that speeds up construction of the pipeline that would carry oil from western Canada to Texas refineries. Ten Democrats joined 224 Republicans in backing the bill. RIO GRANDE — A newly translated book that tells the story of many of the early families of Jackson County and the surrounding area is now available for local residents. The book is “The History of The Welsh Church in Jackson, Ohio, With Travels, Fishing and Farewells.” It was written by Evan O. Roberts and first published in 1908. The book was recently translated from Welsh into English by Martha Davies, who has translated several books into English for the Great Plains Welsh Heritage Project, which is based in Wymore, Nebraska. The University of Rio Grande/Rio Grande Community College’s Madog Center for Welsh Studies coordinated the effort to have the book translated and is now encouraging area residents interested in local history to stop in and read the book or to consider purchasing a copy of it. Madog Center Director Jeanne Jones Jindra explained that the Madog Center has owned an original copy of the Welsh book for several years. Jindra had looked through the book and seen several WelshAmerican names that are still prevalent in the region today, but the Madog Center had not been able to get it translated until this year. When Jindra traveled to the Welsh North American Association conference in Portland in 2010, she met with Davies and talked with her about the book. Davies had translated several Welsh books into English, and told Jindra that she was interested in seeing the book so that she could learn more about it. After Davies looked it over, she decided that it needed to be translated and agreed to take on the project. “She thought the project was worthwhile,” Jindra said. The book tells much of the history of the old Welsh Church in Jackson. The church is no longer standing at its home on Pearl Street and Harding Street in Jackson, but many people in the region know where the church once was. Inside the book, area residents will be able to read about little snippets of the lives of the members of the church. The book provides genealogical information, along with light hearted stories of fishing and other topics. The author of the book, Evan O. Roberts, was a very successful coal miner and businessman, and was also very interested in literature. He was active with WelshAmerican activities in Jackson and in the region, and was involved in other community groups and projects as well “He became very wellknown in Jackson,” Jindra said. Area residents will enjoy reading about what Roberts wrote about the members of the Welsh Church, and they likely will see many last names that they still recognize in the region today. “This book is just full of history. It tells the stories of the people who attended the Welsh Church,” Jindra said. For more information on ordering a copy of the book, call Jeanne Jones Jindra at the Madog Center at 1-800282-7201. The Madog Center also has a copy of the book on file for area residents to look over, along with a wide array of other Welsh-American items.

ATLANTA (AP) — It’s a startling number: 1 in 4 women surveyed by the government say they were violently attacked by their husbands or boyfriends. Experts in domestic violence don’t find it too surprising, although some aspects of the survey may have led to higher numbers than are sometimes reported. Even so, a government official who oversaw the research called the results “astounding.” “It’s the first time we’ve had this kind of estimate” on the prevalence of intimate partner violence, said Linda Degutis of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The survey, released by the CDC Wednesday, marks the beginning of a new annual project to look at how many women say they’ve been abused. One expert called the new report’s estimate on rape and attempted rape “extremely high” — with 1 in 5 women saying they were victims. About half of those cases involved intimate partners. No documentation was sought to verify the women’s claims, which were made anonymously. But advocates say the new rape numbers are plausible. “It’s a major problem that often is under-estimated and over-looked,” said Linda James, director of health for Futures Without Violence, a San Francisco-based organization that advocates against domestic abuse. The CDC report is based on a randomized telephone survey of about 9,000 women and 7,400 men. Among the findings:As many as 29 million women say they have suffered severe and frightening physical violence from a boyfriend, spouse or other intimate partner. That includes being choked, beaten, stabbed, shot, punched, slammed against something or hurt by hair-pulling.That number grows to 36 million if slapping, pushing and shoving are counted.Almost half of the women who reported rape or attempted rape said it happened when they were 17 or younger.As many as 1 in 3 women have experienced rape, physical violence or stalking by an intimate partner in their lifetimes, compared to about 1 in 10 men.Both men and women who had been menaced or attacked in these ways reported more health problems. Female victims, in particular, had significantly higher rates of irri- table bowel syndrome, asthma, frequent headaches and difficulty sleeping.Certain states seemed to have higher reports of sexual violence than others. Alaska, Oregon and Nevada were among the highest in rapes and attempted rapes of women, and Virginia and Tennessee were among the lowest. Several of the CDC numbers are higher than those of other sources. For example, the CDC study suggests that 1.3 million women have suffered rape, attempted rape or had sex forced on them in the previous year. That statistic is more than seven times greater than what was reported by a Department of Justice household survey conducted last year. The CDC rape numbers seem “extremely high,” but there may be several reasons for the differences, including how the surveys were done, who chose to participate and how “rape” and other types of assault were defined or interpreted, said Shannan Catalano, a statistician with the Bureau of Justice Statistics.

There are few business owners in my acquaintance — I should say no business owners in my acquaintance, from convenience store owners to construction businesses to dentists, who have not felt the effects of the financial meltdown. We have struggled to retain our employees in the face of declining revenues while our fuel costs and health insurance costs have risen precipitously. We have found our lines of commercial credit curtailed. Many of us have dipped into our home equity to keep our businesses afloat in the face of reduced commercial lending. Many of us have had to lay people off — one of the worst things a small business owner has to do. As we discount our prices in an effort to keep business coming in, our bank fees increase, our rents rise, and (if we’re lucky) our mortgages stay fixed even as our equity shrinks. It is no wonder that we feel solidarity with Occupy Wall Street. Those at the top of the financial chain who share direct responsibility for this recession have not been held accountable. They have not suffered the losses they have visited on millions of small businesses across America. While Main Street struggles to cover costs, make payroll and stay in business, Wall Street continues to bank record profits. The salaries at the top haven’t declined; the bonuses appear to keep rolling in. Those at the top of the heap appear untouchable. It is little wonder then that public resentment grows over income disparity. It grows over the mantra leaders in the financial industry repeat ad nauseam in their efforts to dodge the blame they so deserve. “It wasn’t the banks’ fault,” they protest. “You don’t understand.” And then, in attempts to shift the blame, “What about the borrowers who took out those mortgages they couldn’t afford? What about Fannie and Freddie? Why is everyone blaming us? We’re doing God’s Work!” Attention Bankers: We’re blaming you because you are indeed responsible for turning our economy into a casino, for gambling with our futures and for continuing to stand in the way of real solutions — and because you haven’t been called to account. The fact is, small business will not fully recover until housing recovers — and Wall Street and the banks are standing squarely in the way of that recovery. Housing affects every as- pect of our economy, from the unemployment rate to construction and real estate to consumer confidence. But the housing market can’t recover until we force the banks to face reality and write down mortgages to market value. They’re not going to do it on their own, they’ve proved that already. They’re sitting on vast numbers of foreclosed homes, destroying entire communities rather than taking a write-off. There has been little improvement or basic accountability in the foreclosure process. Politicians, meanwhile, can’t seem to find the political will to force the issue and fix the housing market. Could that have anything to do with the huge piles of campaign cash and independent expenditures Wall Street pours into our elections? Until small business owners see some accountability at the top, until we see that our pain is shared by those who created it — the bankers and the CEOs — we will stand in solidarity with Occupy Wall Street.

It’s a time when people commit to making a change in their life. Losing weight, changing jobs, saving money, making money, a new relationship, getting in shape, going back to school, or giving up smoking, are just some of the goals people set for themselves on January 1st. Although it’s possible for anyone to make a change or a new start, it takes determination, commitment, and persistence. A new goal must be your own. You have to really want it. Without a burning desire, your motivation will fade quickly. It’s virtually impossible to make a change due to external pressure. You may agree to what someone else wants you to do, but it’s very difficult to succeed without an internal drive. So, in order to successfully make a change or reach a goal, you have to make sure it’s what you really want. Don’t start off on the wrong foot by making excuses as to why you will probably fail. If you don’t truly believe you can do it, you won’t. People who do this will say something like, “I’ll try to do it, but …” Or you may hear, “I tried before and it didn’t work but I’ll give it another go.” Before you begin, make sure the only things you are telling yourself are, “I can,” “I will,” and “I will do whatever it takes.” A new beginning is a three step process. You have to first know what you want, formulate a plan to achieve it, and then take the necessary action to get it. Setting a specific goal is essential. The more detailed the better. If you want to lose weight, how much and by when? If you want a new job, what will it be and how much will it pay? If you want to save money, how much and how often?

Is this a good use of your time? The “Bush tax cuts” are still called that, while Bush has been gone for years. The corporate trade agreements are rolling through at a pace Bush couldn’t have managed. While Social Security was protected by anti-Bush agitation, it now has its neck on a chopping block and the progressive position is that the taxes that pay for it should be cut — rather than expanded to apply equally to large incomes. President Obama has repeatedly blocked serious global efforts to address climate change. And you’re concerned about which Republican buffoon doesn’t know the difference between Iraq and Iran, or which other one thinks the United States has an embassy in Iran. Are you kidding me? President Obama, the United States Congress, and the Federal Reserve are united in their generosity toward Wall Street and the war machine — both financial generosity and the equally generous provision of immunity from legal prosecution. In the Bush era we were locked in free-speech cages, and we raised hell about it. Now we’re locked in jails, beaten, tear gassed, pepper sprayed, and otherwise brutally assaulted, and … wait! Look over there! Is that a presidential candidate who wants to publicly declare his desire to secretly murder Iranians? How outrageous! For the love of everything decent, the current president is right now murdering Iranians, and it’s not very secret. What in the hell is the matter with you people? Illegality is over, says Harold Koh (“the good John Yoo”). This is the same guy who claims mas- Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances. The First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution Letters to the Editor Letters to the editor should be limited to 300 words. All letters are subject to editing, must be signed and include address and telephone number. No unsigned letters will be published. Letters should be in good taste, addressing issues, not personalities. “Thank You” letters will not be accepted for publication. sive slaughter by bombing of foreign nations is neither war nor an act of hostility as long as no significant number of U.S. citizens die immediately in the process. How can illegality be over, when the crimes have not been prosecuted and have in fact been legalized? The current Department of Justice, at the direction of President Obama, has radically expanded claims of state secrets and made greater use of the Espionage Act to punish whistleblowers than all previous administrations combined. The current president has formalized, legalized, systematized, and normalized warrantless spying, lawless imprisonment (Bagram is booming!), prisoner abuse, assassination (including of members of the 5% of humanity we’re supposed to care about), war making in direct violation of the will of Congress (Cf. Libya), and the radically expanded use of drones to do much of this dirty work. And you want me to care that some house-broken elephant who’s been trained to parrot platitudes is in favor of child labor? Really? It is not pleasant to face, but our children are done for if we proceed down either of the paths you are obsessing over the choice between. Behind curtain A is increased plutocratic militarization. Behind curtain B is the same damn thing. It’s an evil choice. Choose which of your children should be shot. This one. No, wait. This one. It is not a choice we have time to dignify with our attention. It is not something we should waste 10 months of inaction and misdirected resources on. We must do what has finally, finally, finally been begun. We must occupy public space. We must move the entire culture. We must reshape this society. We must drag both political parties and everybody in them and the majority of the population which has long since grown sick up to the eye balls of both of them, we must drag everyone kicking and screaming to a better place, to a place where we do not choose between putting 65 percent or 62 percent of discretionary federal spending into war preparation without an enemy in sight. What kind of a range of options is that? This government will halt the foreclosures only after we have halted the forclosures. This government will forgive student debt only after we have blocked its payment. This government will regulate Wall Street only after we have divested from it. And this government will stop dumping our hard-earned pay into wars we don’t want and cannot survive only when we have made that path (that running of the gauntlet of K Street’s opposition) easier for every type of misrepresentative than continuing on the current trajectory. Self-government is not a spectator sport. Elections are not reality shows. There is much more at stake than a soap opera. The first step, and it is a more difficult step than sleeping in a tent in the ice cold rain, is to cease giving a damn what some individual who is stripping away your rights and the fruits of your labors really feels in his heart of hearts. Stop it. We do not have the time. Politicians who make speeches opposing everything they do must be pushed to match action to words, not treated as if words speak more loudly than actions. That attitude is what leads us to focus on what a gaggle of misfits with no power and less wisdom have to say about each other, just because they’re on the teevee screen. Get serious. Get independent. Get principled. And stay nonviolent toward everything in the world except your television.

Hannan unlucky against Irish, 93-55 Spartans top Meigs, 72-55 bwalters@mydailytribune.com ALBANY, Ohio —The Meigs boys basketball team is still searching for its first win of the season following a 72-55 setback to Alexander Tuesday night during a Tri-Valley Conference Ohio Division matchup at ‘The Alley’ in Athens County. The visiting Marauders (0-5, 0-2 TVC Ohio) started slow, as the Spartans (2-2, 1-1) stormed out to a 17-9 advantage after eight minutes of play. Meigs countered with a small 15-14 run in the second canto, which cut the deficit down to 31-24 at the intermission. AHS made its big move in the third quarter, as the hosts went on a 21-10 charge for a commanding 52-34 advantage headed into the finale. MHS closed regulation with a small 21-20 spurt, but never came within single digits the rest of the way in the 17-point outcome. Darrel Goff led the Marauders with 15 points, followed by Jesse Smith with 10 points and Jared Williamson with eight markers. Dillon Boyer added seven points, while Treay McKinney and Dustin Ulbrich chipped in four points apiece. Jordan Hutton had three markers, while Michael Davis and Cody Mattox rounded things out with two points each. Braden Jones paced Alexander and all scorers with 25 points, followed by Jake Gray with 18 points and Tanner Carsey with nine markers. Zack Weffler and Jordan Moseley also chipped in eight each in the triumph.

The Irish claimed their biggest lead of the night (44 points) at 77-33 with 6:32 left in regulation, but HHS closed the game on a 22-16 surge to wrap up the 38-point outcome. Hannan had just six turnovers in the second half for a total of 22 on the evening, while St. Joe had 15 giveaways in the triumph — including a half-dozen in the opening half. The Wildcats had nine players reach the scoring column, with Jacob Taylor leading the way with 16 points. Brad Fannin was next with 10 markers, while Ty Page followed with eight points. Kade McCoy, Paul Holley and Tyler Burns also contributed five points apiece. James Brumfield had three points for the hosts, while Tyler Jenkins and Matt Randolph rounded out the respective scoring with two points and one point. HHS, which made six trifectas in the setback, went 21-of-30 at the free throw line for 70 percent.

The guests were 8-of11 at the charity stripe for See UNLUCKY, 6 Warriors wallop Gallia Academy, 80-33 Kevin Pierson Special to OVP VINCENT, Ohio — If the first shot doesn’t go through the basket, try again. And if the second doesn’t go through, well, give it another go. The Warren Warriors collected 20 offensive rebounds — six more than Gallia Academy had total — and the Warriors exploded for an 80-33 win over the Blue Devils at Warren High School Tuesday night. “We didn’t finish real well underneath, but the good thing is we didn’t give up on the ball,” said Warren boys’ basketball coach Blane Maddox. Warren may not have been getting every shot to fall, but any team that gives itself 20 extra chances is going to find a little bit of success, even if it takes a little while. Combine that with the fact that Warren had just seven turnovers in the game, and basketball becomes a very enjoyable game to play. “One of the main things we were trying to focus on was keeping our turnovers down and we definitely did that,” said Warren sophomore Evan French. Gallia Academy capitalized on the early shooting woes for the Warriors to stay in the ball game, with the two teams trading the lead five times in the game’s first 3:10, but once the Warriors got going there was no stopping them. “Defensive pressure turned into offensive buckets and before we knew it we were up 10, 15 points,” said Warren senior guard Jeremy Hastie, who had as many steals by himself with three as Gallia Academy had as a team. It was the Warriors’ defense that started the offensive explosion, as French’s steal and layup with 4:42 to play in the first quarter gave Warren the momentum it needed to turn an 8-7 advantage into a comfortable margin in short order. Jace Knost’s putback basket put the Warriors out 12-7, and Gallia Academy would score just three more points in the first quarter as Warren went on a 9-0 run to close out the stanza. “Obviously we’ve got a lot to work on,” said Gallia Academy boys’ basketball coach Tom Moore. “They’re the best team we’ve played so far.” Warren led 21-10 after one quarter of play as Tyler Ward hit a threepointer off Josh Windland’s assist, and the Blue Devils would cut the deficit under double figures just once more in the contest. Joel Johnston got Gallia Academy on the board in the second quarter when he converted a jumper off an assist from Reid Eastman, but that was the final time Gallia Academy could cut into the Warrior lead. Knost’s traditional three-point play after a putback basket put the Warriors out in front 24-12, and by halftime the Warriors enjoyed a 14-point lead, 3319. At the break, the Warriors had out-rebounded Gallia Academy 22-9, including 13 offensive boards, as Warren held a 15-4 advantage in second chance points. For the game Warren had the upper hand 23-5 in second chance points. All the rebounds and second chance points helped keep a Warren offense that was just 14-of-38 from the field in the first half going, while the defense kept the Blue Devil offense out of rhythm. Defensively, the Warriors forced Gallia Academy into 10 turnovers at the break while shooting just 8-for-23. On the other end of the court Warren committed just five turnovers in the first half. Once the Warriors had the tempo, they didn’t relinquish it and after struggling from the field in the first half, the Warriors were on fire the second. “They came out in the second half and just lit it up,” Moore lamented. Warren was 8-for-16 in the third quarter and 10-for-12 in the fourth as the Warriors turned the 14 point halftime lead into 31 after three quarters and 47 by the end of the game. Blessed with the hot hand, the Warriors opened the third quarter by collecting a putback basket from Windland before Hastie drilled a three-pointer off an assist from Ward for a 38-21 lead. In the third quarter alone the Warriors hit five threes, and the score was 57-26 heading into the final stanza when Patton knocked down a jumper off Adam Lang’s assist with 14 seconds to play in the quarter. Leading by 30 to start the final period, Warren held Gallia Academy to just three field goals in the fourth quarter and those were all at least two minutes apart. In between, the Warriors went on runs of 10 and eight points to put the game away in commanding fashion.

Redmen scalp River Valley, 52-39 Bryan Walters bwalters@mydailytribune.com BIDWELL, Ohio —The River Valley boys basketball team kept pace for three quarters, but a 13-5 run down the stretch ultimately allowed visiting Rock Hill to sneak away Tuesday night with a 52-39 victory in the Ohio Valley Conference opener for both programs. The host Raiders (1-3, 0-1 OVC) were even with the Redmen (3-1, 1-0) at 16-all after eight minutes of play, but the guests countered with a small 10-7 spurt in the second canto to take a 26-23 edge into the intermission. RHHS kept that momentum going into the third canto, as the Redmen went on a 13-11 run to claim a 39-34 lead headed into the finale. River Valley never came within one possession the rest of the way, as Rock Hill closed regulation with an eight-point advantage to wrap up the 13-point triumph. The Raiders connected on 16-of-50 field goal attempts for 32 percent, including a 4-of-15 effort from threepoint range for 27 percent. The hosts were also outrebounded by a slight 33-32 margin and both teams committed nine turnovers in the contest. Derek Flint led River Valley with 12 points, followed by Aaron Harrison with eight markers. Chris Clemente and Austin Lewis each added seven points, while Ethan Dovenbarger and Joseph Loyd rounded out the scoring with three and two markers, respectively. RVHS was 3-of-9 at the free throw line for 33 percent. Andy Knipp paced Rock Hill with a double-double effort of 16 points and 10 rebounds, followed by Trey Wilds with 14 points and Laden Delawder with eight markers. The Redmen were 19-of-45 from the field for 42 percent, including a 6-of-14 effort from beyond the arc for 43 percent. The guests were also 8-of-15 at the charity stripe for 53 percent.

A 15-0 third quarter charge allowed the Wahama boys basketball team to start its home season in style Tuesday night during a 6149 victory over Waterford in a Tri-Valley Conference Hocking Division matchup in Mason County. The White Falcons (11, 1-1 TVC Hocking) and visiting Wildcats (0-2, 0-2) were evenly-matched throughout most of the contest, but that pivotal third quarter surge ultimately proved to be the differencemaker in the outcome. Both squads produced nine points apiece in the opening quarter, but Waterford countered with a 22-19 run in the second canto for a slim 31-28 edge at the intermission. Wahama’s rally out of halftime allowed the hosts to take a comfortable 4331 cushion into the finale, where both teams traded 18 points each to wrap up the 12-point decision. The Daily Sentinel • Page 6 www.mydailysentinel.com The White Falcons were outrebounded by the guests by a 38-35 margin, but Wahama committed only nine turnovers in the contest — compared to 17 by the Wildcats. Both teams also combined for 10 treifectas in the contest, with Waterford making seven of those shots from beyond the arc. Isaac Lee led the hosts with game-highs of 20 points and nine rebounds, followed by Wyatt Zuspan with 15 points and Austin Jordan with 13 points. Jacob Ortiz added seven points to the winning cause, while Hunter Oliver and Tyler Roush chipped in respective totals of three and two markers. Derek Hysell rounded out the Wahama scoring with one point. The White Falcons were 10-of-19 at the free throw line for 53 percent. Zuspan and Oliver also contributed eight caroms apiece. Austin Hilverding paced the guests with 16 points, followed by Austin Shriver with 10 points and Tate Lang with seven markers. Waterford was 8-of-12 at the charity stripe for 67 percent.

The Big Blacks — the two-time reigning Class AA champions in West Virginia — posted a team score of 216 points, which left them just 15 points behind eventual-champion Bremen (231). Point also finished 37 points ahead of thirdplace Cabell Midland (179) at the annual event put on by Dobyns-Bennett High School. PPHS had one individual champion and four runnersup at the two-day match, as well as one third-place and two fourth-place finishes.

Complete results of the 2011 Hayworth Tire Indian Classic are available on the web at wvmat.com URG women roll past Walsh, 73-59 Randy Payton Special to OVP RIO GRANDE, Ohio – The University of Rio Grande built a 13-point first half lead and cruised to a 73-59 win over visiting Walsh University, Tuesday afternoon, in women’s basketball action at the Newt Oliver Arena. The RedStorm, which had a four-game winning streak stopped in a home loss to Huntington (IN) University on Saturday, rebounded against their former America Mideast Conference rival to win for the ninth time in 12 outings. The Cavaliers slipped to 4-4 overall, losing for the fourth time in five non-conference games this season. Walsh took an early 3-2 lead on a threepointer by Tracy Payne less than a minute into the game, but Rio Grande reeled off eight straight points and never trailed again. Despite 13 first half turnovers, the RedStorm led by as many as 13 points on two occasions in the opening stanza before settling on a 35-23 cushion at the intermission. Walsh hit just seven of its 34 shots from the field in the first half (20.6 percent) and committed 10 turnovers of its own. The Cavaliers twice drew to within eight points in the opening three minutes of the second half, but got no closer the rest of the way. Rio Grande’s biggest lead of the game was 17 points, 64-47, following a jumper by senior guard Kaylee Helton with 4:00 remaining in the contest. Helton led the RedStorm with 23 points and three steals, while junior forward Jayvonna Saddler added 14 points and a teamhigh nine rebounds. Saddler finished 10for-10 from the free throw line. Freshman forward Tinesha Taylor added 10 points, eight rebounds and a a pair of blocked shots to the winning effort, while freshman guard Elizabeth Badgett handed out a team-high six assists. Rio Grande finished with 24 turnovers, but survived by shooting 44.4 percent from the field (24-for-54) and 77.8 percent from the free throw line (21-for-27). Walsh had nine different players score, but Mandi Swickard (11) was the only one to reach double figures. The Cavaliers shot just over 48 percent from the field in the second half, but finished just 21-for-63 for the game (33.3%), including a 1-for-10 showing from threepoint range. Rio Grande returns to action Saturday afternoon, hosting Cincinnati-Clermont for a 2 p.m. tipoff. URG men fall to UC-Clermont, 72-69 Randy Payton Special to OVP RIO GRANDE, Ohio – Davyne Davis hit a tiebreaking three-pointer with less than two minutes remaining and added a pair of free throws with 29.6 seconds left to lift the University of Cincinnati-Clermont to a 72-69 win over the University of Rio Grande Tuesday night in men’s basketball action at the Newt Oliver Arena. The RedStorm slipped to 5-5 with the loss. Davis nailed a trifecta from the right wing to give the Cougars (8-8) a 70-67 lead with 1:31 left before Rio Grande got a bucket from junior forward Turrell Morris with 35.6 seconds remaining. However, Morris, failed to capitalize on an opportunity to complete a conventional three-point play, keeping UC-Clermont in front by one. Davis added a pair of free throws six seconds later to extend the cushion back to three and the Cougars survived a pair of would-be game-tying threepointers in the final 19 seconds by the RedStorm to get the win. Rio Grande scored the first five points of the second half to erase a 40-36 deficit at the intermission and set the stage for a backand-forth affair the rest of the way. The game featured 13 ties and 26 lead changes, including six ties and 16 lead changes over the final 20 minutes. Neither team led by more than three points in the second half. The RedStorm shot just 31.4 percent from the field in the second half (11-for35) after shooting just under 56 percent from the floor in the opening stanza. Head coach Ken French’s squad also hit just three of its 13 three-point tries (23.1 percent) and only 14 of its 25 free throw attempts (56.0 percent). The Cougars, who snapped a two-game losing slide, shot 45 percent for the game (27-for-60) and were a sizzling 15-for-17 from the charity stripe (88.2 percent). Senior forward Shaun Gunnell led Rio Grande with 16 points and eight rebounds off the bench, while Morris had all 15 of his points after the intermission. Senior guard Brad Cubbie and junior center Dominick Haynes added 14 and 10 points, respectively, in the loss. Davis and Joel Leitner had 14 points each to pace Clermont, while Darwin Tolliver added 12 points in the winning effort. Rio Grande returns to action on Sunday against OSU-Mansfield in the Notre Dame College Holiday Classic in Cleveland. Tipoff is set for 2 p.m. The RedStorm will also face Algoma (Canada) University next Monday at 2 p.m. in the final game of the Classic. URG baseball picked 8th in preseason MSC poll Randy Payton Special to OVP 60272370 LOUISVILLE, Ky. — The University of Rio Grande baseball team has been picked to finish eighth in the Mid-South Conference’s 2012 preseason coaches’ poll. The RedStorm received 15 points in the voting, which was released by conference officials late last week. Coaches were not allowed to vote for their own team. Rio Grande is coming off a 30-24 finish in 2011, including a 13-12 mark in league play. Head coach Brad Warnimont’s club returns just four position players and three pitchers from last year’s squad and has 28 freshmen on its current 48-player roster. Campbellsville earned the top nod in the balloting. The Tigers received 63 points, including seven of the nine first-place votes. Campbellsville has won the MSC regular season crown each of the last three seasons and five of the last seven years. The Tigers won the MSC West Division last season with an 18-6 conference record. Shawnee State grabbed second place with 55 points. The Bears, who captured the MSC Tournament title last season after finishing second in the MSC East Division, garnered the remaining two first place votes. Lindsey Wilson was third in the balloting with 45 points, with the University of the Cumber- lands (36), Georgetown (35) and UVA-Wise (34) filling spots 4-6. St. Catharine (25), Rio Grande and the University of Pikeville (8) rounded out the poll. The Mid-South Conference will return to a traditional format of a single nine-team league this spring after the divisional format used in 2011. The 2012 baseball season begins in February and concludes with the conference tournament’s opening rounds on April 26 at Lindsey Wilson and Campbellsville. The tournament concludes April 27-30 at Campbellsville. Rio Grande will open its 2012 campaign with a threegame weekend series at Bryan College, February 10 and 11. �Thursday, December 15, 2011 The Daily Sentinel • Page 7 www.mydailysentinel.com Legals Notices Business & Trade School Commercial / Industrial Apartments/Townhouses Sales The personal property and contents of the following storage units will be auctioned for sale to satisfy the lien of Hill's Self Storage.

Mathieu, a Heisman Trophy finalist, and Claiborne were joined on the AllAmerica team by Heisman Trophy winner Robert Griffin III of Baylor and finalists Montee Ball of Wisconsin and Trent Richardson of Alabama. Heisman runner-up Andrew Luck from Stanford was the second-team quarterback. The team released Wednesday was selected by a panel of 16 AP poll voters. The second-ranked Crimson Tide had the most first-teamers with four. Richardson was joined by tackle Barrett Jones, linebacker Dont’a Hightower and safety Mark Barron. Tide linebackers Courtney Upshaw and corner Dre Kirkpatrick also made the second team, giving Alabama the most players selected overall. The LSU corners were joined on the first team by Tigers punter Brad Wing. LSU guard Will Blackwell was a second-team selection and defensive end Sam Montgomery made the third team. The top-ranked Tigers will play SEC West rival Alabama on Jan. 9 in New Orleans for the BCS title. Since the AP began selecting both an offensive and defensive team in 1964, no team has put a pair of cornerbacks on the first team. Few teams have had two cornerbacks as talented of Mathieu and Claiborne. Mathieu, also known as Honey Badger, has been a mayhem-maker for LSU on defense and special teams. He forced five fumbles, intercepted two passes and scored four touchdowns two on punt returns, two on fumble returns. The 5-foot9, 180-pound sophomore also had 71 tackles and was versatile enough to be moved around the defense at times. Claiborne is a prototypical shutdown corner. The 6-1 junior made six interceptions and averaged 29 yards per return, with a touchdown. “We have one of the best defenses in the country,” Mathieu said. “We’ve got a lot of NFL talent in our secondary, and our defense as a whole.” The talented tandem was a major reason why LSU (13-0) heads to the BCS national championship game against Alabama with a pass defense ranked third in opponents’ efficiency, ninth in yards allowed per game and second in fewest touchdown passes allowed. No. 3 Oklahoma State also had five selections on the three teams, including wide receiver Justin Blackmon, who is one of two players to be selected to the first team for the second straight season. Blackmon caught 113 passes for 1,336 yards and 15 touchdowns. Boston College linebacker Luke Kuechly, the nation’s leading tackler at 15.9 per game, is the other two-time All-American on this year’s team. Griffin, who is second in the nation in total offense at 396 yards per game, won the Heisman on Saturday, beating out preseason favorite Andrew Luck of Stanford, and the All-America voting went much the same way. Luck, the Heisman runner-up for the second consecutive year, was a secondteam All-American for the second straight year. Richardson was third in the Heisman voting and Ball, who is one touchdown away from tying Barry Sanders’ single-season record of 39, was fourth. Mathieu finished fifth in the Heisman voting and USC quarterback Matt Barkley, a third-team AllAmerica, was sixth. Barkley’s favorite target, sophomore receiver Robert Woods, was a first-team AP All-America selection. USC tackle Matt Kalil also made the first team. Clemson also had two players on the first-team, with tight end Dwayne Allen and freshman Sammy Watkins, selected as an allpurpose player. Watkins and Wing were the only freshman picked to any of the three teams. The rest of the first-team line had Stanford’s David DeCastro and Wisconsin’s Kevin Zeitler at guard and Michigan’s David Molk at center. Groza Award winner Randy Bullock of Texas A&M was the All-American kicker. On defense, three Big Ten defensive linemen made the All-America team: 300-pound tackles Devon Still from Penn State and Jerel Worthy from Michigan State, along with Illinois end Mercilus Whitney, who leads the nation with 14 1-2 sacks. South Carolina’s Melvin Ingram was the other defensive end. Georgia had two defensive All-Americans in safety Baccari Rambo and linebacker Jarvis Jones. Seven of the 11 AllAmerica defensive players were from the Southeastern Conference, befitting its reputation as the best league in the nation. Prosecutor: No charges in UC-Xavier brawl CINCINNATI (AP) — A prosecutor said Wednesday he has decided against filing criminal charges in an on-court brawl involving University of Cincinnati and Xavier basketball players. Hamilton County Prosecutor Joe Deters said he made the decision following an investigation that included review of films and interviews with the two teams’ coaches and some players and witnesses. He also said that Xavier center Kenny Frease was satisfied with an apology from Bearcat forward Yancy Gates after the two “reached out to each other privately.” Gates punched Frease in the face during the melee. The 7-foot, 275-pound center fell, bleeding from below his left eye, and was kicked by someone else while on the floor. X-rays were normal. The 6-foot-9, 260-pound Gates was suspended by UC for six games. The two archrivals’ annual “Crosstown Shootout” Saturday ended in a melee with punches, shoves and one player getting kicked while on the floor. Officials and players of both schools have apologized, and both schools suspended four players each. No. 8 Xavier won the game 76-53. It was stopped by referees with 9.4 seconds left. “This was an unfortunate situation,” Deters said in a statement. “However, after talking with both coaches, I truly believe that the teams will be able to deal with the situation more effectively than the criminal justice system.” Messages for comment were left with the two schools’ athletic departments. Criminal prosecutions from player confrontations in sports events are very rare. A handful of National Hockey League players have been charged with assault over the years. But there were no charges in a 2010 melee in Cincinnati between the St. Louis Cardinals and Reds baseball players that left Cardinal catcher Jason LaRue with a concussion after being kicked by Reds’ pitcher Johnny Cueto. After a 2008 brawl between teams in a minor-league baseball game in Dayton, Ohio, a Peoria Chiefs pitcher was convicted of felonious assault causing serious injury for hitting a fan in the head with a ball thrown into the stands. School officials have said they would work together to promote sportsmanship and cooperation to try to preserve the Shootout, one of Cincinnati’s most eagerly anticipated annual events. Xavier students camped out overnight in freezing temperatures to get tickets to this year’s home game for the Musketeers. Xavier guard Tu Holloway was suspended for one game. He acknowledged making comments directed at UC’s team right before the brawl, and afterward described his team’s toughness as “a whole bunch of gangsters.” He said later he regretted using the term “gangsters.” Holloway was irritated during the buildup to the game when Cincinnati guard Sean Kilpatrick said in a radio interview that Holloway, one of the nation’s best guards, wouldn’t even be a starter on the Bearcats. Xavier junior guard Mark Lyons was suspended for two games, and freshman Dez Wells and sophomore Landen Amos for four games each. Besides Gates, suspended Bearcats are starting junior center Cheikh Mbodj (six games), freshman forward Octavius Ellis (four games) and freshman guard Ge’Lawn Guyn, one game. Khan unanimously approved as owner of Jaguars IRVING, Texas (AP) — Shahid Khan was 16 when he moved from Pakistan to the United States to attend the University of Illinois. While hanging out in the basement of his fraternity house, he began his American dream of owning an NFL team. After building a multibillion-dollar company, Khan started working toward spending some of his fortune on fulfilling that college fantasy. He reached out to owners such as Wayne Weaver of the Jacksonville Jaguars to learn the business from the inside, and for them to get to know him. Khan’s dream-turnedplan crossed the goal line Wednesday. He joined the fraternity of NFL owners as his purchase of the Jaguars from Weaver was unanimously approved by the other owners. The deal is for an estimated $760 million. The ownership transfer will be complete Jan. 4. “What I want to share with the Jacksonville fans is: Here I am, reporting for duty and ready to serve the fans. Let the fun begin,” Khan said with a smile that never left his face during a 20-minute news conference. The 61-year-old Khan is the league’s first minority owner. But that’s not the only reason he stands out among his 31 peers. There’s also the prominent mustache he’s fancied since 1972, a trademark that he joked enables him to leap tall build- ings and “do things I didn’t know I could do.” Then again, what he’s done to get to this point is pretty remarkable. Upon graduating from college in 1971, Khan went to work at Flex-N-Gate as an engineering manager. He left in 1978 to start his own company, Bumper Works, and two years later bought his former employer. Now his privately held company is a major manufacturer of bumper systems for pickup trucks and sport utility vehicles built in North America. Revenue last year topped $3 billion, and Khan is believed to be a billionaire himself. He tried buying the St. Louis Rams last year before landing this deal in late November. Now, he’s officially part of the NFL’s ownership club, starting right away with the other items on the agenda of this long-planned meeting, although he joked “I’ve got my training wheels on” because the transfer won’t be completely official for a few more weeks. The league’s finance committee formally approved Khan’s bid last week. So when the agenda item came up Wednesday, there wasn’t a single question, or a single dissenting vote. “I think that’s a good sign,” NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell said. “It’s certainly an endorsement of his ownership.” Cowboys owner Jerry Jones called the Jaguars sale bittersweet because the league is bidding farewell to Weaver. However, Jones praised Khan for his “commitment, his passion and his skill.” “(Weaver) was a real asset to the league, but he did it right and he really brought a very qualified person to the table in Mr. Khan,” Jones said. “It takes some skill to come from where he came from to be where he is today. You add that to your (NFL) ownership group, and we’ve gotten better. … The more people we can have sitting around those tables in there that have wanted it real bad, that have a paid a high price to get in, and have a vision of how to grow the pie, the better the NFL will be. “ To Jacksonville fans, the biggest questions are his commitment to keeping the team in their city and to turning around a franchise that’s struggling in the standings. He made it clear that he’s passionate about both. “This is a partnership, really, with the fans,” Khan said. “I am committed obviously to the rebirth, the reinvigoration, doing whatever it takes to put a winner on the field to make Wayne and the other Jacksonvillians proud.” He will be in Jacksonville this weekend to start meeting with fans and sponsors. He and Weaver also will discuss the process of hiring a new coach; Weaver fired Jack Del Rio on Nov. 29, the same day he announced the deal with Khan.

Your thinking might be grounded, but for whatever reason, an element of confusion runs through your life. You can count on yourself, but you cannot predict others’ behavior. Often people take a different meaning from a situation than you intend. Learn to clarify. Your positive attitude helps you work through problems. You also will attract people who are more upbeat. If you are single, you could date to your heart’s content. Just don’t consider a date a marriage proposal. If you are attached, take up a new hobby together. VIRGO can push you beyond your limits. 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 While you can, get as much accomplished as possible. You are definitely overworked, but you can effectively get through that extra work. Confusion surrounds you and/or a project. You might need to wait a little while to clear out the fog. Tonight: Head home, but squeeze in some exercise. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHHH You come from a solid position and greater depth and understanding. Your ability to understand the way others work and empathize allows for a strong rapport. Your creativity comes forward, allowing greater give-and-take in the late p.m. Tonight: Start thinking “weekend.” Make plans. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHHH Don’t stand on ceremony with another person. Jump over a barrier and let it dissolve. Confusion surrounds this situation anyway. Verify what you are hearing. Don’t be goaded into a disagreement. Stay centered, and listen. The end result will be that you are very content. Tonight: Happy to get home. CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHH Be aware of your limitations — those that are self-imposed as well. You might want to see if you can move past a particular boundary. A partnership adds an element of confusion. Ask questions and make sure you are on the same page. Tonight: Head on out. Meet friends. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHHH Rethink the possibility of making a change. Say “yes” and head in a new direction. Use the daylight hours to the max. Confusion surrounds a personal matter. Make sure the fog doesn’t hit your finances. A respected boss or relative surprises you. Tonight: Think “gifts.” Think “Santa.” VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHH Your major focus could be just getting through the day. You have something better waiting around the corner. Think positively. If you need to take a break, do. An element of confusion surrounds your daily life. Tonight: You are top dog. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHHHH Zero in on your priorities, knowing full well the choices you need to make. Remain upbeat and direct in your dealings. Still, there is a vague side effect with a loved one or a meeting. Somehow you note a disconnect. Maintain a sense of humor. Tonight: Vanish while you can. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHHH You know what you want, but do you understand which path is the correct path? Touch base with several different people. Your sense of humor helps when confusion messes up the best-laid plans. Stay on top of a personal matter. Tonight: Tell it like it is. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHHHH Check out a hunch and brainstorm with those in the know. Although the solution appears in the haze, it seems appropriate. Take a stand, but know that you will need to follow through. Clarify where others are coming from. Tonight: Expect to be burning the midnight oil. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHHH Deal directly with one other person. You could be unusually persuasive when following through on an idea. Use care with your finances, as you easily could make a mistake. Tonight: Follow the music. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHHHH If you think a key person might have an ulterior motive, you could be misreading the situation. Just accept what is offered, and make less of a judgment. Has anyone told you that you over-think situations? Today could be a prime example. Tonight: Chat over dinner. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHH Continue the hectic pace. You know what you are doing. Schedule meetings for late in the day. What starts out as a business meeting turns into a warm get-together, which could evolve into a lot more. Tonight: Socializing to your heart’s content.
