Obituaries ATHENS COUNTY — A high speed chase in Athens County resulted in the arrest of a man wanted in connection with last week’s meth lab discovery in Meigs County. Athens County Deputies arrested Travis J. Older, 28, on Friday following a vehicle chase and crash. Older was wanted in Meigs County in connection with a meth lab discovery in the Pageville area on Wednesday evening. According to a press release from Athens County Sheriff Patrick Kelly, deputies received a tip on Friday afternoon that Older was driving a silver and red Ford Ranger with scrap metal en route to McKee’s Salvage High: 48 Low: 44 on foot with Gillette in pursuit. During a pat down search, a syringe was located in the front pocket of Older’s coveralls. The release goes on to say that while being transported to Southeast Ohio Regional Jail, Older informed Deputy Keith Tablor of the possibility of a mobile methamphetamine lab in the wrecked vehicle. It was determined that there was an active, partial meth lab in the vehicle — including materials used in the process of manufacturing meth. Bureau of Criminal Investigation Agent John Jenkins and the Richland Area Fire Department assisted in the decontamination of hazardous materials. Older — who has a felony warrant in Meigs County — was charged with felony fleeing and eluding, production of methamphetamine and possession of chemicals to make methamphetamine according to the press release. A warrant for the arrest of Older was issued in Meigs County in connection with a meth lab found on Pageville Road on Micah Martindale Wednesday evening.

Shirley Hamm of Racine took the first place prize of $50 with a Raggedy Andy doll that she made. She said she will donate it to Carleton School as a companion piece to Raggedy Ann which she entered in the last year’s contest before donating it to Carleton. Second place in the contest went to Tom Stines of Belpre with a personalized wooden step stool, while third went to Juanita French of Racine for a framed snowman created in crewel stitch. Both the second and third place winners were also awarded prizes by Farmers Bank. The other two contests were for candy hosted by Peoples Bank in Pomeroy on Dec. 3, and for cookies by the Ohio Valley Bank Branch in the Save-a-Lot store in Pomeroy on Dec. 10. The host banks provided the prizes for each of the contests. Looking over the wide array of entries in the Pomeroy Merchants Association holiday contests are two customers of Farmers Bank.

Though county numbers won’t be released until next week, WorkForce West Virginia reports unemployment rates in the state dropped two-tenths of a percentage point from 7.4 to 7.1 percent in November; the Ohio Department of Job and Family Services reports unemployment dropped in Ohio as well, going from 9 percent in October to 8.5 percent in November. Nationally, the unemployment rate fell by 0.4 percentage point to 8.6 percent in November – the national un- employment rate was at 9.6 percent in November 2010. In West Virginia, the number of unemployed state residents fell 2,100 to 55,000 and total unemployment was down 16,000 over the year. Total nonfarm payroll employment grew by 2,100 with a gain of 2,800 in the service-providing sector countering a decline of 700 in the goodsproducing sector. Within the goods-producing sec- tor, employment declines included 700 in construction and 100 in manufacturing. Mining and logging added 100 jobs.

That was the word from Middle© 2011 Ohio Valley Publishing Co. port Mayor Mike Gerlach to Middleport Village Council last week. He said all of the drywall work is complete, a gas line is bing repaired, and fill dirt is being brought in to be used where needed. As for the completion date. Gerlach says if everything goes as scheduled, the project will be completed in mid- to late-January. Gerlach read a letter from Randy Breech, engineer, in which he stated that when complete the village will have a 17,900 square foot building that meets all applicable codes and government regulations as a Village Hall, Community Center, and 12-day jail facility. Breech concluded his letter by saying “that a new structure similar to this would cost more than 2.5 million dollars [to construct].” Councilman Emerson Heightson said that, since the new jail will be up and running probably within the next month, he felt Council should address the pay rate of Officer Mony Wood, who will serve as jail administrator. Wood was appointed to the position earlier this year but Council deferred increasing his pay until the new jail is operable and bringing in revenue. After a discussion, Heighton made a motion to increase Wood’s pay to $16.85 an hour with the first pay period after See NEW, 2 CHOEFLICH@MYDAILYSENTINEL.COM REEDSVILLE — Micah Martindale, 26, of Reedsville announces his candidacy for the Republication nomination for state representative for the 94th District, Ohio House of Representatives. Martindale is seeking his party’s nomination in the March 6 primary election to run against incumbent Debbie Phillips, D-Athens in the fall. Phillips’ term expires in December, 2012 and she has indicated she will be seeking a third term. Martindale is a 2006 graduate of Hocking College with a degree in fitness management. He is currently employed by Fairfield Medical Center and also works in Parkersburg as a personal trainer. Martindale says has family roots go deep in southeastern Ohio with both parents having been born in the area. The family resides in Meigs County. The candidate said he has spent extensive time in the district working in Belpre, Hockingport, Racine, Athens, and Nelsonville — and also held an internship stint at the YMCA in Marietta. “I’ve spent a lot of time in southeastern Ohio and have met many fine, hardworking people. People who, like you and me, have not packed up and moved away to bigger cities because they have their roots down here and recognize the value of this region of the state and embrace all it has to offer despite some of the challenges that living here may bring. “It’s these quality people that inspire me to step up to the plate and run for a position as a public servant. Its time for my generation to assume our role in the government and become engaged in the issues that face our communities and our nation. If elected, I’m here to listen to the people of the 94th district and to represent their needs and facilitate the changes that have to take place at the state level to sustain our communities and to make them a better place for our children and the future.” �Tuesday, December 20, 2011 www.mydailysentinel.com Ohio Valley Weather Tuesday: Rain likely, mainly before 8 a.m. Cloudy, with a high near 48.

Member SIPC. New From Page 1 the new jail becomes operational in 2012. Council was unanimous in approving Heighton’s proposal. During the meeting, Council passed an ordinance on temporary appropriations for meeting ordinary expenses of the village for 2012 as an emergency measure which needs to be in place on Jan. 1. The ordinance includes the following amounts: General Fund $500,000, Street Fund $100,000, Mayor’s Computer Fund $3,500, Fire Equipment Fund $10,000, Fire Truck Fund $50,000, Refuse Fund $200,000, Water Operating Fund $350,000, Sewer Operating Fund $350,000, Recreation Fund $1,500, Meter Depos- its Fund $10,000, Leak Insurance Fund $3,000. Cemetery Fund $5,000, Sewer Improvement Fund $75,000 and Water Capital Improvement Fund $75,000. Fiscal Officer Susan Baker discussed with Council how a FEMA reimbursement for the village’s work relating to a land slip at the top of Middleport Hill is to be handled. FEMA requires that the amount of the reimbursement, $1,713 be put into a special FEMA Fund. Council passed a resolution declaring the need for the new fund for the purpose of “receiving and expending monies received from FEMA.” Baker also explained to Council members the need for a name change for the water and sewer improvement funds, from Capital Improvement Funds to Enterprise Capital Improvement Fund. She said the name change does not change the purpose of the funds or the use of the money in the funds, but that it is being done simply for audit purposes. A letter of resignation from employee Fred Older effective Dec. 21 was read during the meeting. Council approved payment of bills in the amount of $25,982, approved the finance, income tax and mayor’s reports, and voted to dispense with the Dec. 26 regular meeting. She is confused by going to the doctor B y D r . Joyce B rothers Dear Dr. Brothers: I trust my doctor, but I have issues. I am a pretty healthy, happy person, but every time I enter the medical center, I seem to get very tense. When he examines me and talks to me about my symptoms or problems, I seem to watch his face for every little sign of concern, and when he questions me, I sound like some kind of hypochondriac. Then I am afraid to talk, and I also think I’m holding him up from his next appointment. How can I make this all go better? — E.H. Dear E.H.: It is pretty common for people to get a little tense when they visit the doctor, but the fact that you basically trust him is a good thing to hear. So what you are worried about is how you appear to him, and what his reaction to you will be in the examining room. We all dread finding out that something is wrong, and your fears are making you behave in a way that might very well be raising some red flags with him. His concern then makes you more nervous, and around and around you go. What you don’t want to happen is for him to have a skewed picture of your basic emotional health — that even could prompt him to suggest some course of medication that is entirely unnecessary. So, your problem really should be addressed, for your own good. One way to approach this may be to make an appointment that doesn’t include any prodding or poking — ask for a consultation in his office, where you can just talk calmly about anything that is bothering you. Write it down in a list. Don’t worry so much about his reactions, but listen to his words. You’re not alone — a study by University of Michigan researchers found that doctors and patients routinely give each other many nonverbal clues that are misinterpreted by both parties. Your doctor may appreciate the sit-down as much as you do. *** Dear Dr. Brothers: My husband and I have always been polar opposites: He loves to go skiing and hiking in the mountains; I prefer the beach and working in my garden. We’ve managed to live in the middle of the country for 20 years, and have taken turns going to vacation spots where at least one of us can be happy. But with retirement looming, we are starting to fight about where to relocate. I would rather give in than be at odds with him all the time. Is that the best course? — T.M. Dear T.M.: It’s good that you are thinking about putting your long, committed relationship first instead of concentrating on having things your own way. But you must realize that if you think of it as just “giving in,” that could set off a whole other set of feelings that could work just as well to bring down your relationship; there is nothing like simmering resentment to ruin a marriage. So there must be another way to look at things and work out a compromise. First, consider whether you really need to move anywhere. You’ve obviously handled your competing desires throughout the years in a way that works for both of you. If you didn’t get some enjoyment out of the “taking turns” approach, you probably would have abandoned it years ago. So perhaps you could continue that sort of arrangement with some longer vacations when you don’t have to work. You could rent two places and visit each for half the year, or look into some kind of house-swapping where you could travel anywhere in the world — maybe even a new area that could serve both your interests. Think outside the box — you have nothing to lose by trying.

Door prizes were won by Mildred AT THE IRAQ-KUWAIT BORDER (AP) — Outside it was pitch dark. The six American soldiers couldn’t see much of the desert landscape streaming by outside the small windows of their armored vehicle. They were hushed and exhausted from an all-night drive — part of the last convoy of U.S. troops to leave Iraq during the final moment of a nearly nine-year war. As dawn broke Sunday, a small cluster of Iraqi soldiers along the highway waved goodbye to the departing American troops. “My heart goes out to the Iraqis,” said Warrant Officer John Jewell. “The innocent always pay the bill.” When they finally crossed the sand berm that separates Iraq from Kuwait, illuminated by floodlights and crisscrossed with barbed wire, the mood inside Jewell’s vehicle was subdued. No cheers. No hugs. Mostly just relief. His comrade, Sgt. Ashley Vorhees, mustered a bit more excitement. “I’m out of Iraq,” she said. “It’s all smooth sailing from here.” The final withdrawal was the starkest of contrasts to the start of the war, which began before dawn on March 20, 2003. That morning, an airstrike in southern Baghdad, where Saddam Hussein was believed to be hiding, marked the opening shot of the famed “shock and awe” bombardment. U.S. and allied ground forces then stormed from Kuwait toward the capital, hurtling north across southern Iraq’s featureless deserts. The last convoy of heavily armored personnel carriers, known as MRAPS, left the staging base at Camp Adder in southern Iraq in Sunday’s early hours. They slipped out under cover of darkness and strict secrecy to prevent any final attacks. The 500 soldiers didn’t even tell their Iraqi comrades on the base they were leaving. The attack never materialized. The fear, though, spoke volumes about the country they left behind — shattered, still dangerous and containing a good number of people who still see Americans not as the ally who helped them end Saddam’s dictatorship, but as an enemy. About 110 vehicles made the last trip from Camp Adder to the “berm” in Kuwait, the long mound of earth over which tens of thousands of American troops charged into Iraq at the start of the war. The roughly five-hour drive was uneventful, with the exception of a few vehicle malfunctions. Once they crossed into Kuwait, there was time for a brief celebrations as the soldiers piled out of the cramped and formidablelooking MRAPs. A bear hug, some whooping, fist bumps and fist pumps. The war that began eight years and nine months earlier cost nearly 4,500 American and well more than 100,000 Iraqi lives and $800 billion from the U.S. Treasury. The bitterly divisive conflict left Iraq shattered and struggling to recover. For the United States, two central questions remain unanswered: whether it was all worth it, and whether the new government the Americans leave behind will remain a steadfast U.S. ally or drift into Iran’s orbit. But the last soldiers out were looking ahead, mostly, and not back. They spoke eagerly of awaiting family reunions — some of them in time for Christmas — and longing for Western “civilization” and especially the meals that await them back home. The 29-year-old Vorhees was planning a Mexican dinner out at Rosa’s in Killeen, Texas. Her favorite is crispy chicken tacos.

Lind vice president Maura Siegenthaler says the company felt that the signs were intentionally shocking. She says it’s the company’s right to reject content it deems inappropriate. The Ohio organization’s parent group American Atheists president Dave Silverman says the billboards showed how atheists recognize Poseidon, Jesus, Santa and the devil as myths, He says the target audience is “fellow atheists who are still in the closet.” Ohio Briefs WASHINGTON (AP) — A report praises Ohio for having more environmentally-friendly school projects under way than any other state. The nonprofit U.S. Green Building Council says the state has 315 school projects registered and certified under the council’s LEED program. LEED — L-E-ED — stands for Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design and provides a set of international standards for energy-efficient and environmentally friendly methods and materials. Spokeswoman Sue Meyer with the Ohio School Facilities Commission says the recognition is wonderful. And, she tells the Hamilton JournalNews that building a green school is no more expensive than putting up a traditional one.

Chief James Craig has signed up to compete in a local version of “Dancing With the Stars.” Cincinnati’s 2012 “Dancing for the Stars” contest is set for April 14 and benefits a Cincinnati Arts Association scholarship program. Craig tells the local newspaper that knowing he’ll be helping youth experience arts education makes him want to dust off his dancing shoes. The newspaper reports that before he formally arrived in Cincinnati, Craig mentioned his interest in ballroom dancing to a local TV reporter who was the winner of last year’s competition. The former Portland, Maine, police chief was sworn in during August.

Fire at Ohio apartment complex leaves 2 dead COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Authorities say two young girls have died after a Sunday morning fire at an apartment complex in Columbus. Columbus Fire spokesman Michael Fowler says two girls, ages 5 and 7, have died as a result of the earlymorning blaze. The floor of their bedroom had collapsed in the fire. The girls’ mother was able to escape and is being helped by the Red Cross. Officials say the fire started about 5 a.m. at the complex in southeast Columbus. They say the blaze spread to two other units. Authorities say none of the units are inhabitable after the fire. Three adults and seven children lived in the other units and were able to escape unharmed. Authorities estimate the damage at $175,000. The cause is under investigation.

Spc. Jesse Jones was getting ready to make the 2 1/2 hour drive from Ft. Hood, Texas, where the brigade is based, to Dallas. His quarry: an In & Out Burger. “It’s just an honor to be able to serve your country and say that you helped close out the war in Iraq,” said Jones, 23, who volunteered to be in the last convoy. “Not a lot of people can say that they did huge things like that that will probably be in the history books.” In the last days at Camp Adder, the remaining few hundred troops tied up all the loose ends of a war, or at least those that could be tied up. The soldiers at the base spoke often of the “lasts” — the last guard duty, the last meal in Iraq, the last patrol briefing. Even the last Friday was special until it was eclipsed by the last Saturday. Spc. Brittany Hampton laid claim to one of the most memorable “lasts.” She rode the last vehicle of the last convoy of American troops leaving Iraq. Hampton was thinking of her dad, also a soldier who has served four tours in Iraq and Afghanistan. “I can’t wait to … call my dad and tell him about this,” she said. “He’s not going to believe it. He’s going to be so proud of me.” She joked that no one was going to believe her back home when she told them she was in the very last vehicle to leave. “But we really, truly were the last soldiers in Iraq. So it’s pretty awesome,” she said. In the final days, U.S. officials acknowledged the cost in blood and treasure was high, but tried to paint it as a victory — for both the troops and the Iraqi people now freed of a dictator and on a path to democracy. But gnawing questions remain: Will Iraqis be able to forge their new government amid the still stubborn sectarian clashes? And will Iraq be able to defend itself and remain independent in a region fraught with turmoil and still steeped in insurgent threats? President Barack Obama stopped short of calling the U.S. effort in Iraq a victory. “I would describe our troops as having succeeded in the mission of giving to the Iraqis their country in a way that gives them a chance for a successful future,” Obama said in an interview with ABC News’ Barbara Walters, recorded Thursday. Saddam and his regime fell within weeks of the invasion, and the dictator was captured by the end of the year — to be executed by Iraq’s new Shiite rulers at the end of 2006. But Saddam’s end only opened the door to years more of conflict as Iraq was plunged into a vicious sectarian war between its Shiite and Sunni communities. The near civil war devastated the country, and its legacy includes thousands of widows and orphans, a people deeply divided along sectarian lines and infrastructure that remains largely in ruins. In the past two years, violence has dropped dramatically, and Iraqi security forces that U.S. troops struggled for years to train have improved. But the sectarian wounds remain unhealed. Even as U.S. troops were leaving, the main Sunni-backed political bloc announced Sunday it was suspending its participation in parliament to protest the monopoly on government posts by Shiite allies of Prime Minister Nouri alMaliki. �The Daily Sentinel Opinion Page 4 Tuesday, December 20, 2011 Killing of bin Laden voted Economic recovery slow for US nonprofits top news story of 2011 SEATTLE (AP) — As the first signs of an economic recovery make the news, many of the nation’s nonprofit organizations are digging in for another three to four years of financial distress, according to researchers who keep an eye on the charitable world. Some larger nonprofits are seeing donations start to rise again, but most report their income is holding steady at lower, post-recession levels or is still going down, according to a new study from the Nonprofit Research Collaborative. The collaborative found 59 percent of nonprofits report their donation income is flat or lower than in 2010, which was another down year for most charities. Among those that receive some government dollars — long considered a safety net for charitable organizations — more than half are reporting a decline in income for the year. Forty-one percent of nonprofits have seen their donation income go up in 2011, but most of the nation’s smaller charities with less than $3 million in total spending saw donations drop again this year. Food pantries and homeless shelters across the country have reported funding crises this year because of an increase in need coupled with a drop in donations. Siena House, a women’s shelter in Waukesha, Wis., briefly shut down this past summer because it didn’t have the money to continue operations. A fall fundraising drive brought in $60,000 and Siena House was able to reopen in December. The First Baptist Church of Danville, Ky., in November closed its small food bank that fed up to 200 families a year because of volunteer and donation shortages. The food bank depended entirely on donations for its operation and volunteers to run it and just couldn’t keep up with demand, said Tom Butler, a church volunteer. About 8 percent of the charities included in the report say they are in danger of closing for financial reasons, while among smaller charities, that figure is 20 percent. “Nonprofits are still facing very challenging circumstances,” said Una Osili, director of research at The Center on Philanthropy at Indiana University, one of six organizations in the Nonprofit Research Collaborative. Few will actually go out of business, Osili said, but cutting programs and laying off staff are a real possibility. Many are using volunteers to do jobs previously completed by staff. “The good news is that nonprofits are starting to look ahead and think about ways to adjust to the new environment we’re in,” she said. Because most nonprofits spend money the year after they earn it, or budget according to a three-year average, even when the economy does pick up, the recovery for charities will take longer, she said. Osili said it could take donors as many as four years to return to pre-recession giving levels, in part because it takes a while for individuals and corporations to regain confidence in their own financial stability. Jon Fine, CEO of the United Way of King County, Wash., said the nonprofit groups his organization supports through its fundraising have had at least three down years because of the recession. In fiscal 2011, the Seattle-based United Way experienced its first up year since fiscal 2007, with donations of $119 million compared to $100 million in fiscal 2010. That’s still below the $124 million total for 2007. “I think it’s less about a clear indication that the economy is improving, and it’s more about individuals and corporations are willing to support proven programs that get results,” Fine said. His organization has had a lot of success attracting money for a relatively new program that helps kids from low-income families prepare for kindergarten, The Daily Sentinel Reader Services Correction Policy Our main concern in all stories is to be accurate.

Other Seattle charities give a mixed report of their fundraising successes. “Some are up and some are down,” Fine said, adding that needs continue to be high and fundraising isn’t enough to make up for government cutbacks. The year isn’t over, however, and some charities are still hoping for a holiday surprise. A recent random national survey of the general public found some potential for hope. Fifty-one percent of people questioned by Harris Interactive in a random telephone survey said they expected to give a charitable gift as a holiday present. That survey, paid for by Federal Way, Wash., based nonprofit World Vision and conducted at the end of October, also found about seven in 10 adults plan to increase their charitable giving once the economy improves. World Vision reports its own donation income is growing, with sales of its holiday gift catalog up every year of the recession, said Traci Coker, director of the holiday fundraiser at the religious nonprofit that focuses on international aid. Corporate giving seems to be picking up a bit as well, said Jean Ellis, vice president for development and membership at the Denver Zoo. The zoo just received a $5.4 million gift from Toyota for naming rights to a new 10 acre elephant exhibit. “We’ve had an enormously successful 2011,” Coker said. “Hopefully that means things are turning around for everybody.” David Crary, AP National Writer NEW YORK (AP) — The killing of Osama bin Laden during a raid by Navy SEALs on his hideout in Pakistan was the top news story of 2011, followed by Japan’s earthquake/tsunami/meltdown disaster, according to The Associated Press’ annual poll of U.S. editors and news directors. The death of bin Laden, the al-Qaida leader who masterminded the Sept. 11 terror attacks, received 128 first-place votes out of 247 ballots cast for the top 10 stories. The Japan disaster was next, with 60 first-place votes. Placing third were the Arab Spring uprisings that rocked North Africa and the Middle East, while the European Union’s financial turmoil was No. 4. The international flavor of these top stories contrasted with last year’s voting — when the Gulf of Mexico oil spill was the top story, President Barack Obama’s health care overhaul was No. 2, and the U.S. midterm elections were No. 3. Here are 2011’s top 10 stories, in order: —OSAMA BIN LADEN’S DEATH: He’d been the world’s most-wanted terrorist for nearly a decade, ever since a team of his al-Qaida followers carried out the attacks of Sept. 11, 2001. In May, the long and often-frustrating manhunt ended with a nighttime assault by a helicopter-borne special operations squad on his compound in Abbottabad, Pakistan. Bin Laden was shot dead by one of the raiders, and within hours his body was buried at sea. —JAPAN’S TRIPLE DISASTER: A 9.0-magnitude earthquake off Japan’s northeast coast in March unleashed a tsunami that devastated scores of communities, leaving nearly 20,000 people dead or missing and wreaking an estimated $218 billion in damage. The tsunami triggered the worst nuclear crisis since Chernobyl after waves knocked out the cooling system at a nuclear power plant, causing it to spew radiation that 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.

About 100,000 people evacuated from the area have not returned to their homes. —ARAB SPRING: It began with demonstrations in Tunisia that rapidly toppled the longtime strongman. Spreading like a wildfire, the Arab Spring protests sparked a revolution in Egypt that ousted Hosni Mubarak, fueled a civil war in Libya that climaxed with Moammar Gadhafi’s death, and fomented a bloody uprising in Syria against the Assad regime. Bahrain and Yemen also experienced major protests and unrest. —EU FISCAL CRISIS: The European Union was wracked by relentless fiscal turmoil. In Greece, austerity measures triggered strikes, protests and riots, while Italy’s economic woes toppled Premier Silvio Berlusconi. France and Germany led urgent efforts to ease the debt crisis; Britain balked at proposed changes. —US ECONOMY: By some measures, the U.S. economy gained strength as the year progressed. Hiring picked up a bit, consumers were spending more, and the unemployment rate finally dipped below 9 percent. But millions of Americans remained buffeted by foreclosures, joblessness and benefit cutbacks, and investors were on edge monitoring the chain of fiscal crises in Europe. —PENN STATE SEX ABUSE SCANDAL: One of America’s most storied college football programs was tarnished in a scandal that prompted the firing of Hall of Fame football coach Joe Paterno. One of his former assistants, Jerry Sandusky, was accused of sexually molesting 10 boys; two senior Penn State officials were charged with perjury; and the longtime president was ousted. Paterno wasn’t charged, but expressed regret he didn’t do more after being told there was a problem. —GADHAFI TOPPLED IN LIBYA: After nearly 42 years of mercurial and often brutal rule, Moammar Gadhafi was toppled by his own people. Anti-government protests es- calated into an eight-month rebellion, backed by NATO bombing, that shattered his regime, and Gadhafi finally was tracked down and killed in the fishing village where he was born. —FISCAL SHOWDOWNS IN CONGRESS: Partisan divisions in Congress led to several showdowns on fiscal issues. A fight over the debt ceiling prompted Standard & Poor’s to strip the U.S. of its AAA credit rating. Later, the so-called “supercommittee” failed to agree on a deficit-reduction package of at least $1.2 trillion — potentially triggering automatic spending cuts of that amount starting in 2013. —OCCUPY WALL STREET PROTESTS: It began Sept. 17 with a protest at a New York City park near Wall Street, and within weeks spread to scores of communities across the U.S. and abroad. The movement depicted itself as leaderless and shied away from specific demands, but succeeded in airing its complaint that the richest 1 percent of Americans benefit at the expense of the rest. As winter approached, local police dismantled several of the protest encampments. —GABRIELLE GIFFORDS SHOT: The popular third-term congresswoman from Arizona suffered a severe brain injury when she and 18 other people were shot by a gunman as she met with constituents outside a Tucson supermarket in January. Six people died, and Giffords’ painstaking recovery is still in progress. Among the news events falling just short of the Top 10 were the death of Apple Inc. co-founder Steve Jobs, Hurricane Irene, the devastating series of tornados across Midwest and Southeastern U.S., and the repeal of the “don’t ask, don’t tell” policy that barred gays from serving openly in U.S. military.

Tied at 32 with two minutes left in the third quarter, the Dragons (4-0, 2-0 OVC) closed the canto with a 7-0 run to take a 39-32 lead into the finale. FHS opened the fourth period with a 7-4 spurt over the opening two minutes, which allowed the guests to extend their cushion out to 46-36 with six minutes left in regulation. The host Raiders (1-4, 0-2) cut their deficit down to six points (51-45) with three minutes left, but never came closer the rest of the way — as Fairland closed the game on an 8-3 surge to wrap up the 11-point decision. Fairland never trailed in the contest and never led by more than five points until the final minute of the third period. FHS jumped out to an 11-6 advantage after eight minutes and took a 22-17 edge into the intermission after both teams traded 11 points in the second stanza. The Raiders were outscored 17-15 in the third and 20-16 in the fourth period. RVHS was 18-of-51 from the field for 35 percent, including 3-of-13 from threepoint range for 23 percent. The hosts also outrebounded Fairland by a 27-24 margin, but committed 16 turnovers in the setback — compared to just 13 giveaways by the guests. Derek Flint led RVHS and all scorers with 22 points, followed by Trey Noble and Aaron Harrison with nine markers each. Ethan Dovenbarger added six points, while Kyle Bays rounded out the scoring with two markers. The Raiders were 9-of-23 at the free throw line for 39 percent. Evan Salyers paced the Dragons with 19 points, followed by Evan Maddox with 12 points and Nathan Campbell with 10 markers. FHS was 11-of-19 at the charity stripe for 58 percent and also connected on 24of-50 field goal attempts for 48 percent.

Shameless Shameless Dexter Homeland "Marine One" Wildcats fall to Lady Chiefs top River Valley, 56-37 Wayne, 49-40 Craig Dunn Special to OVP Bryan Walters bwalters@mydailytribune.com WAYNE, W.Va — A 14-3 third quarter surge ultimately allowed Wayne to claim a 49-40 victory over visiting Hannan Friday night during a non-conference boys basketball contest in Wayne County. The Wildcats (0-3) hung around with the host Pioneers (1-1) for most of the evening, as both teams were tied at 20-all at the intermission. WHS stormed out to a 14-8 edge after eight minutes of play, but Hannan countered with a 12-6 run in the second canto to knot things up at the half. The Pioneers made their big move in the third canto, which gave the hosts a 34-23 lead headed into the finale. HHS answered with a 17-7 run to pull within 41-40, but Wayne scored the final eight points in regulation to wrap up the nine-point triumph. Ty Page led Hannan with 14 points, followed by Jacob Taylor with eight points and Paul Holley with five markers. Brad Fannin and Tyler Jenkins added respective totals of four and three points, while James Brumfield, Brandon Holley and Kade McCoy rounded things out with two markers each. Caldwell paced the hosts with 17 points, followed by Marsh with 14 and Ferguson with eight markers. Hannan returns to action Tuesday when it travels to Teays Valley Christian for a non-conference matchup at 6 p.m. WELLSTON — If the Logan Lady Chiefs are to continue their recent run of success, they must continue to play solid team basketball and help each other in any way possible. Saturday night’s 56-37 victory over River Valley in the final game of the five-game Wellston Lady Rockets Classic at Wellston Middle School provided a good example. “One of the things that I really liked was that every one of our players had at least one assist,” said Logan coach Pat Walsh after the Lady Chiefs (5-1) earned their fifth-straight victory. Logan’s 22 field goals came as the result of 17 scoring passes from nine different players, led by point guard Brooke Simons with four and Abbie Hughes and Chloe Dietzel with three apiece. Sophomore center Ashley Frasure was named the team’s MVP — each team in the day- long event had a player recognized as such — after leading the Lady Chiefs with 14 points (on 7-of-9 shooting) and seven rebounds in addition to blocking four River Valley shots. River Valley (1-5) gave the Lady Chiefs all they could handle for awhile, mainly because they did a great job dialing long distance… that is, eight of the Lady Raiders’ 12 field goals came from beyond the 3-point arc. As a result, River Valley led 13-11 after one quarter on the strength of a pair of triples by Alli Neville (13 points) and one apiece by Cady Gilmore (a team-best 14 points) and Beth Misner (nine tallies on three threes). That threesome, fittingly, accounted for all but one of River Valley’s points. But the Lady Chiefs held River Valley to just two points in the second period, taking the lead for good on a three-pointer by Abby Rose with seven minutes left in the stanza, overcoming that first-quarter deficit with an early 7-0 run. River Valley was held to just two free throws in the second stanza as Logan finished the quarter on a 6-1 run for a 24-15 lead at the intermission. “We played a lot more manto-man and pressure defense in the second quarter,” Walsh revealed. “But (River Valley) did a good job getting back into the game in the third.” With Misner netting a pair of trifectas and Neville adding one, the Lady Raiders closed the gap to 28-26 with 4:40 left in the third stanza. It was still just a three-point game (32-29) with 2:35 to play before Logan finished the quarter with a 9-2 blitz, taking a 41-31 lead at the break when Simons (11 points) nailed a long three-bomb with five seconds left that might have been good from NBA range. Logan then pulled away in the final quarter, finishing off an 11-0 run with eight-straight counters to open the period for a 49-31 advantage with 4:54 left in the game. Junior center Mackenzie Dicken helped the Purple & White pull away by scoring all eight of her points in that final stanza. River Valley returns to action Thursday when it travels to Nelsonville-York for a nonconference matchup at 6 p.m. Craig Dunn is the sports editor of the Logan Daily News in Logan, Ohio.

URG women top UC-Clermont, 97-79 Randy Payton Special to OVP RIO GRANDE, Ohio - The University of Rio Grande got 64 points from its bench and used a big first half run to blow open a close game and fuel an eventual 97-79 win over the University of Cincinnati-Clermont, Saturday afternoon, in women’s basketball action at the Newt Oliver Arena. The RedStorm improved to 10-3 with the win, its sixth in the last seven outings. “We did some nice things,” said Rio Grande head coach David Smalley. “We had the right combination in there for a while and, for about eight minutes in the first half, we looked about as good as I’ve seen my program look in years - and that was without our senior leader on the floor. We were unselfish, we passed the ball, we ran the floor - we played with energy.” Rio Grande led just 22-21 following a three-pointer by Clermont’s Portia Cochrum with 8:47 left in the first half, but the RedStorm got a three-pointer by junior guard Shardae Morrison-Fountain (Columbus, OH) to kickstart a 12-0 run and earn some breathing room. Rio’s lead grew to as many as 19 points late in the half, but the Cougars methodically chipped away and pulled to within 55-50 following an Ashley Keith jumper with 15:21 remaining in the game. The RedStorm went on another 12-2 run to push the lead to 67-52 after a layup by junior forward Jayvonna Saddler with 13:14 left to play but, again, Clermont shaved the lead to 71-65 following a bucket by Marisa Stutz with 9:37 remaining. Rio Grande finally grabbed control once and for all by scoring 14 of the game’s next 16 points to take an 85-67 lead after a jumper by Saddler with 5:32 left in the contest. The Cougars got no closer than 16 points the rest of the way and the RedStorm twice led by as many as 20 points down the stretch. “All of a sudden we stopped doing what we did early on and got hungry for some individual scoring and started forcing things, which allowed them to get on a roll,” Smalley said. “We see-sawed there for a while, but then I think our depth and athleticism just won out.” Saddler led five double-digit scorers for Rio Grande with 21 points, while Morrison-Fountain - who was making her season debut - added 20 points. “It was great to see (Morrison-Fountain) play the way she did,” said Smalley. “I think she had 13 points in limited minutes in the first half and them had seven or eight points in the second half. She has the ability to put us in a different gear, both offensively and defensively.” The duo was among three players to reach double figures off the bench for the RedStorm. Senior guard Sharnise Morris, who scored 16 points - 14 in the first half - was the other. The trio’s play also helped ease the loss of senior guard Kaylee Helton, who was limited to just five minutes of action in the first half due to a lower back injury. “I held my breath when she went down, but we had some other kids step up,” Smalley said. “Everybody contributed in one way or another.” Helton did return after the intermission and scored 15 of her 17 points over the final 20 minutes. Freshman forward Tinesha Taylor added 10 points and sophomore center Brooke Shaw pulled down 10 rebounds in the winning effort. Clermont (10-7) also had five players in double figures, three of whom did so off the bench. Tess Jenike led the Cougars with 15 points, while Staci Lee had 14. Cochrum added 13 points, while Stutz and Keith both finished with 12. Stutz also had a game-high seven assists. Rio Grande will return to action on Friday, December 30, at Point Park (Pa.). The teams have divided two meetings already this season. “Today was a good win, at home, heading into the break. Now we’ve got a chance to recuperate before going to Point Park and getting ready for the MidSouth Conference,” said Smalley. “Hopefully, we can enjoy these next nine days, though.” �Tuesday, 20, 2011 2011 Tuesday,December december 20, BLONDIE BEETLE BAILEY FUNKY WINKERBEAN HAGAR THE HORRIBLE HI & LOIS MUTTS www.mydailysentinel.com ComiCs/EntErtainmEnt The Daily Sentinel • Page 8 Dean Young/Denis Lebrun Mort Walker Today’s Answers Tom Batiuk Chris Browne Brian and Greg Walker THE LOCKHORNS William Hoest Patrick McDonnell Jacquelene Bigar’s Horoscope zITS THE FAMILY CIRCUS Bil Keane DENNIS THE MENACE Hank Ketchum Jerry Scott and Jim Borgman CONCEPTIS SUDOKU by Dave Green HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Tuesday, Dec. 20, 2011: You express an unusual intensity this year. Often, you are overwhelmed by the many opportunities and choices that drop in your lap. Before making a decision, you might want to further explore a new concept. You hold many feelings in.
