Normal hours will resume on Tuesday, Dec. 27 at 8 a.m. GALLIPOLIS FERRY — Another shooting has occurred in Gallipolis Ferry, though the latest victim has lived to tell the tale – a tale that ends in not only a gunshot wound but an armed robbery of around $1,900 in cash. According to the Mason County Detachment of the West Virginia State Police, Trooper SC Allen was called to Pleasant Valley Hospital by hospital officials when Brett Allen Rogers, 25, Gallipolis Ferry, arrived at the emergency room with a gunshot wound on Monday. Rogers, who lives on Crab Creek Road, told Allen he was walking westbound on Crab Creek Road at around 6 p.m., Monday, Dec. 19 when two, white, male subjects pulled up alongside him in a red, twodoor Pontiac from the early 2000’s, describing the car as either a Sunfire or Grand Am. Rogers said the subjects asked if he needed a ride and Rogers accepted. However, when he began to enter the vehicle, Rogers said he stopped because he noticed a gun tucked behind the passenger’s back. At this time, Rogers said he declined the ride and began to walk away. Rogers then claimed the passenger, a white male in his early 20’s, around 5’7”, 140 pounds with a goatee who was wearing a gray t-shirt and jeans, then stepped out of the car, pointed the gun at him and demanded Rogers get in the car. Rogers said he kept walking and the suspect fired a gunshot into the air. At this point, Rogers said he ran into the woods and was pursued by the suspect who fired the pistol four or five times with the last shot hitting the victim in the right arm. Rogers said the suspect found him hiding behind a bush and stated, “Give me your money. I don’t want to kill anybody.” Rogers said he gave the suspect around $1,900 he’d had in his pocket. The subject returned to the vehicle that then fled the scene. Though his immediate condition is not known, Pleasant Valley Hospital reported they had no patient named Brett Allen Rogers in the hospital on Wednesday morning. In a press release, Sgt. EB Starcher, post commander for Mason County, said this case is an ongoing criminal investigation led by Allen. Those with any information on the incident, whether anonymous or not, should call the Mason County Post at 340-675-0850. The Point Pleasant Register will provide any updates to this case on its website and print edition as they become available.

OHIO VALLEY — After being on the decline, unemployment rates in Mason County were on the rise for November while Gallia and Meigs counties continued to see declines in those searching for work. Mason County went from an unemployment rate of 10.7 percent in October to 11 percent in November. However, after having the second highest unemployment rate in the state for several months, Mason County actually dropped to number three, behind Web- ster County at 11.4 percent and Pocahontas County at 12.3 percent – the highest in the state. In November 2010, Mason County’s unemployment rate was 13 percent. Overall, West Virginia’s unemployment rate declined in November, falling two-tenths of a percentage point to 7.1 percent. There were 38 counties reporting declining unemployment rates with Monongalia having the lowest rate at 4.6 percent. Despite a slow economy, unemployment rates continued to fall in both Meigs and Gallia counties. Gallia County had an unemployment rate of eight percent in November, down from October’s 9.2 percent. This meant Gallia County ranked 42 out of Ohio’s 88 counties in terms of unemployment rates – in October it ranked 34. Unemployment rates in Meigs County also continued to fall, going from 12.6 percent in October to 11.3 percent in November. This meant Meigs County finally dropped out of the number two slot, in terms of the highest unemployment rates in Ohio, and landed in fourth place out of 88 counties. Preceding Meigs were Scioto County with 11.5 percent, Ottawa County with 11.9 percent and Pike County with 13.9 percent – the highest in the state. Overall, Ohio’s unemployment rate declined in November, going from nine percent in October to 8.5 percent. Unemployment rates decreased in 85 of Ohio’s 88 counties. Mercer County had the lowest unemployment rate at 4.9 percent, followed by Holmes County with 5.2 percent, Delaware and Geauga counties with 5.5 percent and Medina County with 5.8 percent. Southern School Board hears ‘Race to the Top’ update By Sarah Hawley shawley@heartlandpublications.com RACINE — An update on Race to the Top led the discussion at the final Southern Local School Board meeting of 2011. Southern Elementary Principal Kent Wolfe updated members of the board on the progress being made. Wolfe stated there are four components to Race to the Top, with administration and staff members working on various areas. The focus for the district is on the value added online courses, common core standards and OTES/OPES training. Wolfe said, teachers are currently working on the ‘value added’ modules, which include online courses. ‘Value added’ concerns the increase of scores from one school year (grade level) to the next. The schools are currently working on a trial basis with the Ohio Teacher Evaluation System. The evaluation system, which is tentatively set to go into place next school year, is a five-step process. Wolfe said the school district hopes to take the model, and format it to fit the district’s needs better. The five-step evaluation process includes a self assessment, goal setting, preconference, observation and post conference. It was also noted that Southern was awarded $1,290 as part of an AEP Access to Environmental Education mini-grant. The grant will be used to build an alphabet garden near the K-2 playground. In other business, the board heard an update on the recent audit. Treasurer Roy Johnson reported that the auditors are officially off site and that the report is expected in mid-January. Johnson also noted that the cost of the audit was increased by $2,000, bringing the total to approximately $25,000. The board elected current President Dennie Evans at the President Pro-Tem for the organizational meeting to take place in January. The organizational and budget meetings were set for January 9 at 8 p.m. and 8:15 p.m., respectively, while the regular January meeting was set for January 23, at 8 p.m. Superintendent Tony Deem stated that Hill International will be coming to the board in January to begin the process of bids for the early site package to be done at the school, and will also be discussing the entire renovation at the January regular meeting. The hope is to break ground on the new building in March. The board approved accepting a $500 donation from the Southern Charge United Methodist Men’s Group to be used for economically disadvantaged students. Also approved were annual membership dues to the Ohio School Boards Association (OSBA) in the amount of $3,623, and annual membership for the OSBA Legal Assistance Fund in the amount of $250.

The American Red Cross and MGA Entertainment are joining together nationally to promote blood donations and honor nurses at select hospitals nationwide this holiday season. As part of the season of giving, MGA Entertainment has donated more than 1,000 Rosy Bumps ‘N’ Bruises, the all new Lalaloopsy nurse doll, to Red Cross hospital blood drives across the country. During the Pleasant Valley Hospital’s Red Cross blood drive on Wednesday, December 28, donors will be invited to sign a greeting card that will be presented to the hospital along with one Rosy Bumps ‘N’ Bruises doll. The blood drive will be held from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. (the SCU/bus will be parked at the Wellness Center). For appointments, visit the appointment scheduling section of redcrossblood.org. Online appointment sponsor code is PVHospital. “We are excited to be joining with the Red Cross to promote blood donations during the holidays,” said Isaac Larian, CEO of MGA Entertainment. “Rosy Bumps ‘N’ Bruises was sewn from bits of a nurse’s uniform and was chosen for this project because she always puts safety first, a mission she shares with the American Red Cross.” The winter holidays are generally a very difficult time to collect enough blood to meet the needs of patients. With schools out, companies closed and families on vacation, it’s even more important that those who are eligible to donate come forward to give the gift of life. “We’re very grateful to MGA Entertainment for encouraging people to donate blood this holiday season. The unique personality of the Rosy Bumps ‘N’ Bruises™ Lalaloopsy™ doll will help the Red Cross honor nurses and will surely bring a smile to the face of young patient,” said Shaun Gilmore, President, American Red Cross Biomedical Services. Every two seconds, someone in this country needs blood. About 44,000 blood donations are needed each and every day by hospital patients in the United States. Blood products are needed by cancer and leukemia patients, people with blood disorders, premature babies, transplant recipients, trauma victims, and more. To schedule a donation time or get more information about giving blood, people can visit redcrossblood.org or call 1-800-RED CROSS (1-800-7332767).

Ma is very quiet and is a worrier, and I notice that whenever we are all t o g e t h e r, my daughter seems to clam up and become very shy. I know that Ma spends a lot of time worrying and telling her granddaughter to be careful, etc. Can her worryprone personality be rubbing off on my daughter? — L.R. Dear L.R.: It is not at all unlikely that this is happening. Talk to your mom about it. I’m sure your mother is trying to be super-responsible when your daughter is around, but what she doesn’t realize is that her anxious behavior could be rubbing off on her granddaughter. I don’t think it could completely change her personality, but if your daughter has a tendency to be intro- verted or sensitive, she could well be affected by all the warnings and admonitions she gets from Grandma. So try talking to your child about how Grandma loves her so much that she is a little bit too protective, and see what she has to say about it. She may have some complaints about the restrictions. Your mother isn’t likely to change her stripes, but you can make her aware that she needn’t be quite such a worrywart and that your daughter can handle a certain amount of freedom, which you can talk about and — I hope — agree upon. Perhaps including a playmate after school or finding some other activities would lighten the atmosphere for the child. Less exposure to Grandma may make your life a little more difficult, but it may be best. Your daughter comes first, and you need to stay on top of what she is experiencing, inside and out. Your mother might appreciate the break, too, and find herself a little less stressed.

Jeremy is cute and cuddly, and Justin had a lower birth weight and some other issues, but he’s fine now. They are 9 months old, and Jeremy gets all the attention because he is so cute and outgoing. I am worried about how this will affect Justin as they grow up. Anything I can do to help our family prepare? — N.V. Dear N.V.: I’m glad your sons are healthy and thriving, and the fact that they are twins means they both will always get plenty of attention, so you needn’t worry about that so much. If you want people to compare them, dress them exactly alike and give them similar haircuts. Make sure they share the same friends. Push them in the same direction in sports and other activities, and make sure they are competing in school in the same classes. But if you would like to encourage their individuality so that each child can develop his own gifts and interests and bring different things to the family circle, try to acknowledge in a positive way that they are two different kids. It will be a lot easier for each of them to find and develop their own personalities and strengths, and at some point you may forget about the fact that one was cuter than the other as a baby. Parents of twins need to work harder than most to give their kids individual attention. Make sure each of them gets alone time with you and your husband, where only they are the focus of attention. They both will flourish with the advantages that playmates and parents can bring to the table, and you will see the best come out in both of them. Looks change, so don’t obsess about who was cuter as a baby. Just enjoy both of them for being themselves. *** Dear Dr. Brothers: We live near my mother, and she’s been a godsend Visit us online at www.mydailysentinel.com �Thursday, December 22, 2011 The Daily Sentinel • Page 3 www.mydailysentinel.com Girl Scouts busy with projects and programs Cookie sale gets under way Jan. 6 POMEROY — Meigs County scouts have had a busy fall with a variety of activities many leading to badges in areas of service, and now are about to embark on the annual Girl Scout cookie sale. The cookie kickoff will be held on Jan. 5, with the sale to begin on Jan. 6. Over the past several weeks, the Meigs Daisy Troop 1332 members have been given lessons on the history of scouting, along with the various signs and promises of the organization. For a Honest and Fair petal, they made friendship bracelets and for the Considerate and Caring petal, and carried out a project of remembering service men and women with items like toothpaste, toothbrushes, hand sanitizer and other personal items. The emphasis of meetings has been on learning and doing what is consisted their “jobs,” which includes learning the pledge, promise, and how to become special helpers. As a community service project this month, the girls made up candy bags and gave them to local fire and police departments in appreciation for their service. The Daisies have also started on their first Daisy Journey, a flower garden. A Christmas party will be held with each one to give her secret sister a card and a gift. The investiture ceremony with a sister Troop 1208 will be held with all awards earned so far to be presented. Troop 1216 scout helped with a food drive and then organized one, and made thank you notes to go to the contributors to the project. As a part of their journey work, the scout visited the Bailey and Holter family farms. The Eastern Brownie Troop did a Thanksgiving craft, delivered nut orders, took part in the Pomeroy Christmas parade, participated in the cookies with Santa program, and wen to The Maples to sing and pass out candy candies and cards. The Eastern Junior Troop also worked on their journey badge, made thank you cards for the food contributors, and cards to go along with the plaster gifts that were painted for the Autistic group home where community service projects are carried out. It was noted that the proceeds from the food drive went to the Chester Community Center Pantry. An activity included a visit to the Holter Dairy Farm with another troop. During a Camp Kiashuta campin the scout troops made over 400 cookies and also centerpieces for the Alumni Tea. Both the Junior and Cadette troops participated in the campin where activities included group singing, project work including making cards for soldiers and enjoyed a sing-a-long.

Department of Education for a round-table discussion on the program — what’s positive and what’s not in the NCLB legislation from the educator’s view point. Gaul, who graduated from Ohio University with a master’s degree in educational administration in 1991, was employed in the Meigs Local School District as the principal of the junior high and then later as assistant principal at Meigs High School, before moving on to his current position.

James L. Snyder Although I may look a little stodgy on the outside with a few gray hairs blossoming on the top, I still know how to celebrate, and this is the time of the year to do that sort of thing. I love a good Christmas celebration. For the last few years, I have never had to check my calendar to know when it is time to celebrate the Christmas season. It seems that the Thanksgiving turkey always gives rise to what I shall refer to as the Holiday Turkey. No sooner is my Thanksgiving turkey resting snugly inside of me when the Holiday Turkeys begin their assault on Christmas. Do not let this get out, but I love it. Some people are quite offended when these Holiday Turkeys begin their assault on Christmas. I would be insulted if they did not. I expect them to attack anything to do with Christmas. It just goes to show that the Christmas story has not lost its offense. Those of us who celebrate the birth of the Lord Jesus Christ embrace this time of the year with a great deal of joy and praise. After all, we are celebrating the fact that Jesus Christ came into the world to save sinners. What better message to celebrate at this time of year when most people are having a difficult time. Don’t get me wrong here. I believe in celebrating Jesus Christ every day. There is something special about setting aside one day out of the year to recognize his birth. I do not worship the manger nor do I venerate the three wise men. I do, however, appreciate the fact that Jesus Christ came into this world and it certainly is my privilege once a year to celebrate His birthday. I know He was not born on December 25, but it is the thought that counts. Even those who do celebrate Christmas sometime celebrate the wrong thing. People who do not have much money spend themselves poor getting Christmas presents for their family, and then they spend the rest of the year trying to pay off those purchases. That is a nice gesture but that is not the reason for the season. Instead of spending money this year for your family, why not spend a little time with them. That will do more good than something you buy in the store that will be obsolete by the time they open it Christmas morning. Then there are those who take this time of the year to do nothing but party, party, party. By party, I mean getting so inebriated they have no idea what they are doing or saying. Many people will die during the celebration of Christ’s birth because of some intoxicated driver. This is not the reason for the season. You can always tell the quality of a person by what they celebrate and how they celebrate. Of course, the Holiday Turkeys will accuse me right here of being judgmental. Perhaps they are right. What is wrong with a little bit of being judgmental? Why is it we can be judgmental in every area of our life except those areas that are matters of life and death. My doctor is so judgmental that sometimes I would like to punch him in the nose. What right does he have to tell me that I have something wrong with me? Well, he’s the doctor. How many people have shortened their life by not listening to their judgmental doctor? Some alcohol-saturated person will challenge me and say, “You have no right telling me what to do. I’m going to have a good time. Don’t you judge me.” Then they get smashed, jump in their car and end up killing some young family coming home from a Christmas party. That certainly is not the reason for the season.

The Christmas season is the season to celebrate God’s answer to man’s incurable dilemma. “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life” (John 3:16 KJV). The answer to all of man’s problem is Jesus Christ. The Christmas season is the season to join with family and neighbor and sing of God’s amazing Grace. Go ahead. Deck your halls with Holly but in the midst of it all, give God the glory in the highest. This is the season for our streets to echo with the joyous celebration of Christ coming into this world. Then there are those who object. I have a proposition for all of the Holiday Turkeys who object to me celebrating Christmas or trying to call it something other than what it really is. You do not have to celebrate the Christmas season; just allow me to celebrate it in a way that I see fit. Then, I will not celebrate April 1 or Halloween but will allow you to celebrate your holidays anyway you want to. I think that is fair. It is a two-for-one deal I am not sure anybody could ever pass up. Celebrate your holiday, and I will celebrate the Christmas season and wish all my friends a very Merry Christmas and a happy New Year. The Rev. James L.

But there is one thing on which they do see eye to eye: the value of early childhood education. Once an afterthought of America’s education system, early learning now is front and center as educators, governors and legislators grapple with ways to better prepare children for a lifetime of success. The Obama administration just announced that nine states – California, Delaware, Maryland, Massachusetts, Minnesota, North Carolina, Ohio, Rhode Island and Washington – will receive grants under the federal Race to the Top-Early Learning Challenge, a $500 million project intended to jumpstart programs that educate our youngest learners. These states are led by Republican, Democratic and Independent governors. In fact, more than twothirds of the nation’s governors – 17 Republicans and 18 Democrats – applied for federal money to develop early learning programs. They represented states large and small and scattered throughout every region of the country, from Maine to Hawaii, Washington to Florida. While only a handful of states won grants, one thing is clear: There is a strong, bipartisan, national movement to establish and improve early childhood education. And it’s not going away. Just look at what this competition already accomplished. The 35 states (plus Puerto Rico and the District of Columbia) that applied for grants first had to examine their own approaches to early childhood education and make sure they had policies in place to improve quality, build connections and support children and families. That work alone increased awareness of and 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.

Leaders in all those states and more now realize that we must start long before kindergarten to give children the tools they need to flourish during their school years and throughout their lives. This is exactly what funders, advocates, practitioners and experts intended when they began to lay the groundwork for change more than a decade ago. States have been leading the way. The BUILD Initiative, created by philanthropies through the Early Childhood Funders Collaborative, has worked with nine states – Arizona, Illinois, Michigan, Minnesota, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania and Washington – to develop early learning systems that support the National Education Goal that “all children start school ready to learn.” These states have been pioneers in creating a comprehensive approach to early childhood policies that respond to child health, nutrition, mental health, family support, and early care and education needs for young children and their families. Even the states that did not win grants are making progress. They now have detailed plans on how to improve early learning opportunities and the support of a burgeoning movement that includes parents, philanthropists, business leaders and high-ranking government officials. It is a movement led by states and fueled by privatesector energy and philanthropic resources – historically a potent combination for bringing about social change. The movement also will grow because states will learn from each other. The BUILD Initiative and the First Five Years Fund, leaders in strengthening the connection between early childhood and the K-12 community, have formed the Early Learning Chal- lenge Collaborative to tap into this collective expertise from the states. The collaborative will continue to share with all states the best thinking for improving the quality and effectiveness of early learning programs. Education in general and early learning in particular is one of the smartest investments America can make, not only for our children, but for our country’s economic wellbeing. Success in the workplace begins with success in the early grades. State leaders understand that, and have taken steps to give children a strong start by educating them from the moment they are born. Research by Nobel Laureate economist James Heckman bears out the impact of early learning on the economy. He found that investing in early childhood education closes the achievement gap, reduces the need for special education, increases the likelihood of healthier lifestyles, lowers the crime rate, and reduces overall social costs. Heckman estimates that for every dollar invested in early childhood education, there is a 10 percent per year return on investment. For the last decade, the nine BUILD states and others have developed early learning systems that put Heckman’s theory into action. These states have worked to improve early childhood education because they know that children are born learning, and that nurturing their early development and the ability of their families to support them strengthens their chances for long-term success. Isn’t that what we all want for our children? *** Gerrit Westervelt is Executive Director of the BUILD Initiative, a national project created by the Early Childhood Funders Collaborative to help states improve and align policies and services for young children.

The visiting Rebels (3-1, 3-1 TVC Hocking) fell behind 14-7 after eight minutes of play, but SGHS rallied with a 13-9 run in the second canto to pull within 23-20 at the intermission. The Falcons (1-2, 1-2) were outscored 16-9 in the third period, allowing South Gallia to take a 36-32 edge into the finale.

South Gallia connected on 19-of- 53 field goal attempts for 36 percent, including a 4-of-19 effort from threepoint territory for 21 percent.

PETERSBURG, Fla. (AP) — Florida International coach Mario Cristobal expected special teams would be the deciding factor in his team’s final game of the season. Turns out it was a key factor in a tough defeat. A blocked punt midway through the fourth quarter set up Marshall’s go-ahead field goal and Rakeem Cato threw for 226 yards and two touchdowns to help the Thundering Herd beat Florida International 20-10 in the Beef ‘O’ Brady’s Bowl on Tuesday night. Cato threw TD passes of 31 and 35 yards to Aaron Dobson, the latter putting the game away in the closing seconds. Warner’s 39yard field goal set up by a blocked punt snapped a 1010 with 5:16 remaining. “When a game is tough like that, and it’s real tight like that, special teams become a critical part of it,” Cristobal said. “Certainly, they made the play on special teams that changed the game a lot to get a field goal with a blocked punt. At the end, of course, the extra seven points is what made it the final score, but those three points were critical.” Marshall (7-6) overcame a slow start to win five of its last seven games and avoid a losing record in its second season under coach Doc Holliday. FIU (8-5) was denied a school-record ninth victory and there was speculation that Cristobal may be a leading candidate to fill a job opening at Pittsburgh. Cato, a freshman from Miami who is one of 28 players on Marshall’s roster recruited from the state of Florida, completed 27 of 39 passes and was intercepted once. Dobson had seven receptions for 81 yards, including a TD catch that wiped out a 10-3 FIU lead just before halftime. All-purpose threat T.Y. Hilton scored on a 2-yard run for FIU, which also got a 46-yard field goal from Jack Griffin. Hilton had eight catches for 88 yards, ran for 22 yards on three carries and returned two kickoffs for 36 yards, but quarterback Wesley Carroll had difficulty getting the ball to him in open space in the second half.

Eagles rally past Southern, 63-55 Bryan Walters bwalters@mydailytribune.com TUPPERS PLAINS, Ohio — It’s never over until it’s over. The Eastern boys basketball team erased a 12-point halftime deficit with a 4727 surge over the final two periods Tuesday night to claim a 63-55 victory over visiting Southern in a TriValley Conference Hocking Division matchup at the Eagles’ Nest in Meigs County. The Eagles (4-1, 2-1 TVC Hocking) handed the Tornadoes (4-1, 3-1) their first loss of the season in dramatic fashion, as the hosts dug out of a 28-16 hole over the final 16 minutes of regulation. SHS led 7-6 after eight minutes of play, then used a 21-10 charge in the second canto to establish a 12-point halftime advantage. EHS started its comeback in the third canto, going on a 15-10 run to pull within 38-31 headed into the finale. The Eagles then went on an improbable 3217 charge in the fourth, which allowed the hosts to double their point total while claiming the eightpoint triumph. Eastern connected on 20-of-37 field goal attempts for 54 percent, including a 3-of-6 effort from three- point range for 50 percent. The hosts also had 37 rebounds and 16 turnovers to go along with a 9-of-13 effort at the free throw line for 69 percent. Max Carnahan and Kirk Pullins both led Eastern with game-highs of 19 points each, followed by Chase Cook with eight points and Jacob Parker with seven markers. Chris See EAGLES, 5 Blue Devils fall to Jackson, 40-21 Bryan Walters bwalters@mydailytribune.com CENTENARY, Ohio — The Gallia Academy boys basketball team had its twogame winning streak come to an end Tuesday night during a 40-21 setback to visiting Jackson in a Southeastern Ohio Athletic League matchup in Gallia County. The Blue Devils (3-5, 1-2 SEOAL) managed just 24 shots in the contest and had as many turnovers (11) as points at halftime, as the Ironmen (3-3, 1-2) held the hosts under double digits in each of the four quarters played. Jimmy Clagg gave GAHS led 2-0 just 39 seconds into regulation, but Tyler Neal answered with trifecta at the 6:48 mark to give Jackson a lead it would never surrender the rest of the way. Colt Chapman scored the next six points to give JHS a 9-2 edge at the 3:48 mark, but the hosts countered with a small 6-4 run over the final 3:04 for a 13-8 contest after one quarter of play. Chapman — who scored 10 points in the opening canto — was sidelined with foul trouble early in the second period, and GAHS answered with a small 3-2 run to pull within 15-11 with 4:24 left in the half. Gallia Academy never came closer the rest of the way, as the Ironmen closed the half with an 8-0 See HERD, 5 run for a 23-11 intermission Bryan Walters/photo Gallia Academy junior Jimmy Clagg (54) lays in two of his team-high 16 points during the second half of Tuesday night’s SEOAL boys basketball game against Jackson in Centenary, Ohio. advantage.

The visiting Raiders (1-5) shot just 31 percent from the field while committing 24 turnovers, which helped the Vikings (4-1) cruise to their fourth straight victory. VCHS never trailed in the contest and, like the Raiders, hauled in 32 rebounds in the contest. Vinton County — which committed 18 turnovers — stormed out to a 10-2 lead after eight minutes of play, but RVHS answered with a 10-7 spurt in the second canto for a 17-12 deficit at the intermission. The Vikings erupted with a 19-4 charge in the third canto for a comfortable 36-16 cushion headed into the finale, but the guests countered with a 22-9 surge down the stretch to wrap up the seven-point decision. River Valley was 15-of-48 from the field overall, including a 3-of-14 effort from threepoint range for 21 percent. The guests were also 5-of-6 at the free throw line for 83 percent. Austin Lewis led the Raiders with 12 points, followed by Ethan Dovenbarger with nine points and Derek Flint with eight markers. Joseph Loyd added five points, while Trey Noble and Aaron Harrison rounded out the scoring with two markers each. Lewis also posted a double-double with 10 rebounds.

I was trying to go out with a bang,” Hilton said. “Unfortunately it didn’t happen tonight. I just played to make plays. I came up short for the program tonight. I wish I could have did more, we just ran out of time.” Carroll was 19 of 29 passing for 150 yards. Marshall struggled early against a tough schedule, losing in September to West Virginia, Ohio and Virginia Tech before regrouping late to win four of six down the stretch to become bowl eligible and finish second behind Southern Mississippi in the Conference USA East Division stand- ings. FIU is a relative newcomer to the Football Bowl Subdivision. The Panthers launched their program in 2002, joined the Sun Belt Conference in 2005 and has made steady progress in five seasons under Cristobal, who led the school to its first Sun Belt championship a year ago. “The program has come a long ways,” Hilton said. “Look where we’re at now. With eight wins, it means a lot.” Hilton has been a big part of that success, setting FIU and Sun Belt records for career receiving and all-purpose yards. The senior from Miami caught a TD pass and scored on an 89-yard kickoff return to help the Panthers beat Toledo in last year’s Little Caesars Bowl, and FIU showcased his versatility early against Marshall. The 5-foot-10, 185-pound receiver took a handoff on FIU’s first play from scrimmage and ran for 20 yards before fumbling 5 yards backward. He had a 17-yard reception on the next play, then later in the opening quarter gained 14 yards on a catch-and-run to the Marshall 2. Hilton scored his first rushing touchdown of the season on the next play, giving the Panthers a Eagles 7-3 lead. “This young man is the best I’ve ever been around,” Cristobal said. “So many times he’s done a great job putting the team on his back. He was the face of the program. He will be missed, dearly. We’re going to have fun watching him on Sundays.” Marshall punter Kase Whitehead averaged 40.1 yards on seven punts, and his high kicks never gave the explosive Hilton a chance for a return. “Their punter is a great punter,” Hilton said. “They did a great job covering that. They forced me to play catch.” TVC tames Wildcats, 72-41 Bryan Walters From Page 5 Bissell and Troy Gantt rounded out the winning score with six and four points, respectively.

The visiting Wildcats (04) never led in the contest, as the Lions jumped out to a 19-8 advantage after eight minutes of play. The hosts kept that momentum going in the second canto, using a 22-9 surge to take a 41-17 intermission advantage. TVC went on a 16-6 run in the third period for a comfortable 57-23 cushion headed into the finale, but Hannan closed regulation with an 18-15 spurt to wrap up the 31-point decision.

Buffalo fends off White Falcons, 71-68 bwalters@mydailytribune.com BUFFALO, W.Va. — The Wahama boys basketball team saved its best for last, but that effort still wasn’t enough Tuesday night during a 71-68 setback to host Buffalo in a non-conference matchup in Putnam County. The visiting White Falcons (1-3) rallied from a 10-point third quarter deficit to knot things up at 68 with a minute left in regulation, but the Bison (4-1) came up with a small 3-0 spurt over the final 60 seconds to wrap up a contested one-possession decision. Trailing 70-68 with seven seconds left, Isaac Lee drove the lane and made what appeared to be a game-tying basket while being fouled. The officials, however, called Lee for a player-control foul, which nullified the basket and gave BHS possession. Buffalo was fouled on the ensuing possession, and the Bison sank 1-of-2 free throws to make it a 71-68 contest with four seconds left. Wahama missed its gametying opportunity in the waning moments, which led to the Falcons’ second straight setback. Buffalo jumped out to a small 12-11 lead after eight minutes of play, then used a 24-16 surge in the second canto to take a 3627 intermission advantage. The hosts also went on a small 19-18 run in the third to take a 55-45 edge into the finale. WHS outscored the Bison 2313 over the opening seven minutes down the stretch, but Buffalo managed to hold on. The guests outrebounded BHS by a 40-27 margin, but Buffalo also made nine trifectas in the decision. Lee led Wahama with 28 W 11-16-18-23 — 68 B 12-24-19-16 — 71 WAHAMA (1-3): Isaac Lee 12 4-5 28, Wyatt Zuspan 5 1-6 12, Tyler Roush 1 0-0 2, Austin Jordan 2 0-1 5, Jacob Ortiz 3 0-0 6, Hunter Oliver 4 7-8 15, Derek Hysell 0 0-0 0.

Penn Teller Beach Heat RedStorm men rally past Algoma, 76-74 Randy Payton Special to OVP SOUTH EUCLID, Ohio – Junior center Dominick Haynes’ layup with less than two minutes remaining helped the University of Rio Grande erase a 15-point second half deficit and the RedStorm held on the closing seconds for a 76-74 win over Algoma University in the final game of the Comfort Inn Holiday Classic, Monday afternoon, at Notre Dame College’s Murphy Gymnasium. By virtue of its twogame weekend sweep, Rio Grande improved its overall mark to 7-5 and surpassed the five-win mark the RedStorm had totaled in each of the previous two seasons. “I feel good for these guys, especially for (seniors) Brad (Cubbie) and Shaun (Gunnell), because it’s got to give them confidence,” said Rio Grande head coach Ken French. “I think one of our biggest problems – the main reason we’re up-and-down – is confidence. We needed something to feel good about and, hopefully, this is it.” Monday’s victory required a great deal of effort, though. Algoma, which made a nearly nine-hour treak south from Marie, Ontario to play in the Classic, stretched its 10-point halftime lead to 15 points, 50-35, following a threepointer by Dele Oworu with 17:45 left in the contest, but the RedStorm began a methodical comeback march and eventually drew even at 73-73 on a conventional three-point play by junior forward Turrell Morris with 2:42 left to play. The Thunderbirds (65) went back in front just seven seconds later when Oworu hit one of two free throw attempts, but Haynes split a pair of defenders and canned a driving lay-in off the glass with 1:31 remaining put Rio Grande ahead to stay. Gunnell, a 6-foot-4 forward from Columbus, Ohio, then connected on one of two free throws with 9.5 seconds left to stretch Rio’s lead to two points, but the RedStorm had to sweat out a would-be game-winning three-point attempt at the buzzer by Algoma’s Jonathan Gordon – a shot that bounded off the front of the iron – before emerging victorious. “Hopefully, this will be momentum-building,” French said. “We told them at the half that, in order to win the game, we were going to have to grind it out. I thought our guys showed a lot – and I mean a lot – of courage and passion in the second half. We had guys diving on the floor and we fought and battled. I know we got down by 15, but I just felt like we were going to win the game – I really did – just because the breakdowns we had offensively were our own fault. It all came down to whether we were going to guard them, but we sucked it up, ground it out one possession at a time and got it done.” Rio Grande led throughout most of the first half, but the Thunderbirds used a 12-1 run over the final 3:15 of the stanza to open up a 44-34 advantage at the intermission. “I thought the last four or five minutes of the first half that we really got out of our system,” said French. “We took some bad shots and, though I hate to say this and as a coach you can’t stand it when it happens, we have some guys that when we don’t see the ball go in the hole, it affects us on the defensive end, too. We took some bad shots, we missed some bad shots and, in turn, they ended up getting some open looks because of our defense and they knocked them down.” Oworu, who had a pair of three-pointers and a free throw in the run to close the first half for Algoma, added a short jumper and another trifecta to pace a 7-2 run by the Thunderbirds after the break, producing the 15-point lead. Rio Grande began the road back by reeling off 11 of the next 13 points and pulled to within 52-46 af- ter a pair of free throws by Gunnell with 14:51 remaining. After Algoma stretched its cushion back to as many as nine points, a short jumper by Gunnell with 9:17 left closed the gap to 61-56. Again, the Thunderbirds pushed their lead back to nine before a three-pointer by senior guard Darriel Hunter and a layup by Gunnell made it 65-61 with 8:01 left. Algoma quickly extended its advantage to eight points and maintained the same margin – 71-63 – following a runner by Javain Wilson with 5:43 remaining, before Morris’ oldfashioned three-point play capped a 10-2 run which tied the game at 73-all and set up the dramatic finish. Gunnell led Rio Grande with 23 points and 14 rebounds, while Haynes netted 20 points – 14 of which came in the second half comeback. “Both of them played well,” said French. “I challenged them before the game because I thought we were better at the four (power forward) and five (center) and we wanted to attack them at both of those spots. It wasn’t pretty at times, but I don’t care. Algoma’s a good team – a Mid-South Conference-caliber team to be quite honest – but we came together and got the win.” Morris added 15 points and 13 rebounds in the winning effort for the RedStorm, which shot 48.4 percent from the field in the second half (15-for-31) and outrebounded the Thunderbirds 32-13 after the intermission. Rio Grande finished with a 54-39 edge in rebounding. Oworu led Algoma with a game-high 32 points and a team-high 13 rebounds, while Wilson finished with 18 points and Brett Zufelt netted 12. Rio Grande returns to action Dec. 29 when Houghton (N.Y.) College comes to Newt Oliver Arena. Sullinger leads No. 2 Ohio State over Lamar, 70-50 COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Jared Sullinger felt he needed to play, even if he wasn’t 100 percent. Whatever that percentage was, it was still pretty good. Sullinger bounced back from his latest injury to score 18 points and grab 11 rebounds, leading No. 2 Ohio State past Lamar 70-50 on Tuesday night. “It’s life. You don’t go through a career in basketball injury-free,” the 6-foot-9 sophomore said. “Fortunately, it’s now instead of life.” The most important stat was that he played 30 minutes. “I missed too much,” he said of his recent minutes lost due to physical ailments. “The back spasms and now the foot, I’ve got to get back into the routine. I can’t really sit here and wait for it to heal up. By that time, I won’t have my timing down on plays, defensively or offensively. So I had to get back as soon as possible.” Coach Thad Matta said it was essential for Sullinger to get back on the court. He said any absence, but particularly that of your best player, adds to the trials of being a coach. “It does because you’re not in full force. It’s the unknown is this guy going to play, is he going to practice, how good is he if he does,” Matta said. “Without question those are some of the things that play into it. Hopefully now we’re getting him back and we can continue to see the improvement on a daily basis.” Deshaun Thomas, chosen as the Big Ten’s player of the week on Monday, added 16 points for the Buckeyes (11-1). His streak of making 17 consecutive two-point field goal attempts ended on his first shot of the game. Devon Lamb and Stan Brown each had 10 points for Lamar (8-4), which had a four-game winning streak come to an end. The Cardinals’ record against Big Ten teams dropped to 1-5. The Cardinals were 0 for 12 on 3-point shots, marking the first time an Ohio State opponent didn’t hit a 3 in 621 games, dating to 1992. “We can’t shoot 3s,” Lamar coach Pat Knight said. “That was their goal last year, to shoot a lot of them. At halftime I told them they couldn’t shoot a 3 until they made four passes.” The Buckeyes had played three of their last four games without Sullinger healthy. The All-America missed two games with back spasms including Ohio State’s only loss, a 78-67 setback at No. 13 Kansas on Dec. 10 and all but 6 minutes of Saturday’s 74-66 win at South Carolina with an ankle injury. But he warmed up without any obvious discomfort, was in the starting lineup and picked up his sixth double-double of the season. It was important that Sullinger get back in condition and play a lot, Matta said. “Truth be told, he hasn’t done anything for three weeks,” he said. “That’s hard in the middle of the season. So as he talks about his rhythm and timing, those are areas you can only get through playing games and high-level practicing.” The win was Ohio State’s 32nd straight at home, extending the second-longest streak in school history. Pat Knight’s father, Hall of Fame coach Bob Knight, was honored at halftime with an alumni award. A 1962 graduate of Ohio State, he was a member of the 1960 team that won the school’s only national championship. Baylor’s Griffin is AP player of the year WACO, Texas (AP) — Robert Griffin III played football for years simply because he was good at it. Then Baylor’s exciting dualthreat quarterback tore the ACL in his right knee and missed the last nine games of the 2009 season. While stuck on the sideline watching, he realized just how much he loved the game. “After a knee injury like that, a lot of times you see guys come back and it’s not the same,” Griffin said. “So I didn’t want that to be attached to me, great player, got hurt, never was the same. … My goal was to come back better, not only for myself, but for my teammates.” Goal accomplished for Griffin, who exceled while raising Baylor out of the Big 12 basement. Already the winner of the Heisman Trophy and Davey O’Brien Award, Griffin won AP Player of the Year on Wednesday. The aspiring lawyer, who arrived at Baylor nearly four years ago as a 17-year-kid after graduating high school early, is the nation’s most efficient passer this season, throwing for 3,998 yards with a Big 12-leading 36 touch- downs and only six interceptions. He also ran for 644 yards and nine more scores. Baylor (9-3) has a five-game winning streak, its longest in 20 years, going into the Alamo Bowl next week. With a win over Washington, the 15th-ranked Bears would match the school record of 10 wins set during Mike Singletary’s senior season in 1980. In his comeback from injury last year, after getting a medical redshirt that means he’s now a fourth-year junior, Griffin helped lead the Bears to their first Top 25 ranking since 1993 and their first bowl game in the Big 12 era. Baylor hadn’t even had a winning season in the first 14 Big 12 seasons. That year on the sideline was the toughest for Griffin and the Bears, who went from big expectations to another losing record without their star quarterback. “You miss out making plays and doing great things,” Griffin said. “I missed playing, I missed practicing, but you really just miss your teammates.” By time Griffin played his first game for the Bears in 2008, when at 18 he was the nation’s youngest FBS starting quarterback, he was already a Big 12 champion and NCAA All-American in the 400-meter hurdles. He set an FBS record by throwing 209 passes to start his career before his first interception. Griffin passed for 2,091 yards and 15 TDs with 843 yards and 13 more scores rushing as a freshman. But then he got hurt on the opening series of the third game of his sophomore season. He finished the first half of that game against Northwestern State on a gimpy leg, throwing for 226 yards and three touchdowns to push the Bears ahead 41-10. �Thursday, December 22, 2011 Thursday, december 22, 2011 BLONDIE BEETLE BAILEY FUNKY WINKERBEAN HAGAR THE HORRIBLE HI & LOIS The Daily Sentinel • Page 9 www.mydailysentinel.com ComiCs/EntErtainmEnt Dean Young/Denis Lebrun Mort Walker Today’s Answers Tom Batiuk Chris Browne Brian and Greg Walker THE LOCKHORNS MUTTS 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 Thursday, Dec. 22, 2011: You might remind others of a cat with nine lives this year.
