Under the contract, which goes into effect Jan. 1, Rumpke will be responsible for the collection, transportation, and processing of recyclable materials generated within the four-county district. The Meigs Soil and Water Conservation District will continue to be responsible for the program until the end of this year. “Rumpke of Ohio, Inc. will be using a ‘single stream’ collection method, which is more convenient for our recyclers,” said Terri Marchi, executive director of the solid waste management district. “In this collection method, all of the recyclable materials can be placed in one container together; separating the recyclable materials by district residents is no longer required.” As a result of this contract, county residents will now be able to recycle even more types of materials, including corrugated cardboard, plastic bottles and plastic jugs #1-7. There will be no charge to county residents for this improved recycling program. Residents can deposit the following items for recycling: metal cans, cardboard, paperboard and paper products, paper cartons, plastic bottles and jugs, and glass bottles and jars. Items that cannot be recycled include trash, waste, plastic bags, wrap, tubs, buckets and toys, plastic containers without a bottle neck, hazardous and flammable material, dishes, ceramics and window glass, metal clothes hangers, wires and scrap, needles and medical sharps, electronics and car parts. A complete list of materials that can be recycled as of Jan. 1 is posted on the solid waste district’s website, gjmvrecycle.com. The new containers will also be labeled with a list of materials that can be donated at the sites, Marchi explained. Single stream recycling drop-off containers will placed by Rumpke of The familiar wooden recycling buildings scattered throughout Ohio, Inc. in most of the locations Meigs County, like this one in Syracuse, will be replaced by used in the past several years by metal “single-stream” drop-off containers (inset) beginning Jan. 1 under a new contract between the GJMV Solid Waste See CHANGE | 2 Management District and Rumpke of Ohio, Inc. Civitas Media unveils new comics, puzzles Staff Report TDSnews@civitasmedia.com Photos by Charlene Hoeflich | Daily Sentinel Master Sergeant Jeff Russell who served in Iraq was the featured speaker at the Veterans Day service in Pomeroy. Remembering Veterans Charlene Hoeflich choeflich@civitasmedia.com POMEROY — “Whether at war or peace, our veterans must never be overlooked. This is a day in tribute to all veterans who serve or have served, and to the sacrifices they made in defense of freedom,” said Master Sergeant Jeff Russell of the West Virginia Army National Guard, speaker at the Veterans Day service in Pomeroy. John Hood, commander of Drew Webster Post 39, American Legion, which annually stages the observance held in front of the Meigs County Courthouse, introduced the speaker noting that he was one of the first soldiers to be deployed to Iraq. In his comments Russell said that others look to America as a place where freedom reigns, and where there is hope and promise of a better life. He spoke of the changes in the way battles are fought today and the part which advancements in technology play. He said today peace alone requires a continued presence around the world. Hood commented on the importance of the observance as a time to remember what occurred on the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month — the time when the World War I “the war to end all wars” armistice was signed in 1918 See VETERANS | 2 Last push for costume contest votes Among those attending the service was World War II veteran Nathan Biggs, 92, of Pomeroy. AG warns of veterans’ charity scams COLUMBUS — As Ohioans honor service members on Veterans Day, Attorney General Mike DeWine is warning donors to beware of veterans’ charity scams and those who make false promises to help veterans. “The majority of veterans’ charities provide excellent services to help veterans and their families,” DeWine said. “Unfortu- MEIGS COUNTY — New comics and a new look are featured today on the Comic pages of The Daily Sentinel. Among the additions to our comics lineup are “Rhymes with Orange” and “Baby Blues,” two strips that recently received top awards from the National Cartoonist Society, the world’s largest and most prestigious organization of professional cartoonists. These new comics will join some of your old favorites, such as “Dennis the Menace,” as The Daily Sentinel blends the new strips with nostalgic comics that readers have come to love. The changes are part of an exclusive agreement between Civitas Media, owners of The Daily Sentinel, and King Features, one of the largest providers of specialty content in the newspaper industry. “Just like television stations make changes to their lineup of shows each season, it’s important for newspapers to keep its content fresh. Today’s changes offer our readers some of the most popular work available,” said Jim Lawitz, director of content for Civitas Media. “Rhymes with Orange” is targeted to the under-40 reader. With insightful wit, it spoofs everyday contemporary life. Without regular characters, creator Hilary Price uses everything from dogs and cats to charts and graphs to comment on the world today. The King Features cartoonist won the Best Newspaper Panel Cartoon Award of the year. “Baby Blues” chronicles the trials and tribulations of parenthood, ranging from temper tantrums and dirty diapers to teething pains and sleepless nights. Its creator, King Features cartoonist Rick Kirkman, won the Reuben Award for “Outstanding Cartoonist of the Year.” Other new additions include “The Brilliant Mind of Edison Lee” and “Retail.” In an age when we are bombarded with information and a 24-hour news cycle, Edison Lee offers a disarming view of our world through the eyes of a child who is both a brilliant genius and an eternal optimist. “Retail” is the first-ever syndicated comic strip to focus solely on this service sector. It presents a hilarious look at the retail industry by chronicling the daily events at the fictitious Grumbel’s department store. The new page also includes a popular crossword puzzle whose degree of difficulty increases with each day of the week. Readers also will be treated to a Sudoku puzzle. The addition of the new content means some of the comics that used to appear in The Daily Sentinel are being replaced. Lawitz realizes this may be upsetting to some readers. “Every feature in a newspaper has its hardcore fans. We realize this. But it’s also important to try new things, and we feel if they give this new content a chance, they’ll enjoy the changes,” said Lawitz. nately, there are some individuals and organizations that take advantage of the debt of gratitude we feel to our veterans and use the proceeds for their own gain. I encourage Ohioans to be generous, but also take the time to research charities.” Thus far in 2013, the Attorney General’s Charitable Law Section has handled six cases involving veterans-related charities, including a civil judgment against a fraudulent veterans’ charity and an agreement with two individuals to stop illegal solicitations on behalf of a legitimate veterans’ charity. Signs of a potential scam include: Charities with names that are similar to well-known, nationally recognized charities; High-pressure tactics and requests for immediate donations; Callers who are hesitant or unable to answer questions about the charity; Callers who offer to pick up donations immediately instead of waiting to receive them in the mail; Requests for checks to be made payable to a person instead of a charity; Ohioans can protect See SCAMS | 2 Staff Report TDSnews@civitasmedia.com MEIGS COUNTY —The submissions are now in, and there are only two days left to vote for your favorite costume in the Ohio Valley Virtual Costume Contest.

COLUMBUS — The Ohio Department of Health (ODH) is encouraging Ohioans to get up to date on their pertussis vaccinations following outbreaks in several communities across the state. ODH monitors outbreaks of pertussis in Ohio and provides vaccines to local health departments when immunization clinics are needed to help control an outbreak. Pertussis, also known as whooping cough, is highly contagious and is one of the most commonly occurring vaccine-preventable diseases in the United States. People with pertussis usually spread the disease by coughing or sneezing while in close contact with others, who then breathe in the pertussis bacteria. Pertussis is most severe for babies, who often catch the illness from a family member or other caregiver. More than half of infants less than 1 year of age who get the disease must be hospitalized. In rare cases (one in 100), pertussis can be deadly, especially in infants less than 1 year of age. “If your family is going to be welcoming a new baby or if you are a caregiver to young children, it is especially important to get a pertussis booster shot,” said Dr. Ted Wymyslo, Director of the Ohio Department of Health. “Not only will it lessen your illness if you get whooping cough, but it can help protect infants who haven’t had a chance to get the full series of vaccinations yet.” There are pertussis vaccines for infants, children, preteens, teens and adults. The childhood vaccine is called DTaP, and the pertussis booster vaccine for adolescents and adults is called Tdap. Both provide protec- tion against tetanus, diphtheria and acellular pertussis. Who should be vaccinated Children —The series of immunization starts at 2 months and continues at 4, 6, 12 months with a final dose before kindergarten. These shots are called DTaP. 7th Grade Adolescents — Starting last year, the State Of Ohio requires seventh graders to get a Tdap booster. Pregnant Women — Once during each pregnancy. Adults — Once as an adult. The vaccine is called “Tdap” and also contains a tetanus shot. Especially if you are around infants. During the past 12 months ODH distributed a total of 462,015 doses of pertussis-containing vaccine as part of routine childhood immunizations. Increases in the number of people infected with pertussis tend to occur every three to five years. In 2010, several states, including Ohio, reported increased cases of pertussis. So far in 2013, Ohio has seen a 20 percent increase in reported pertussis cases as compared to 2012. As of Nov. 2, there have been 901 cases reported in 2013, compared with 742 on the same date in 2012. Pertussis symptoms can be different depending on your age and vaccination history. Pertussis usually starts with cold-like symptoms, and may be a mild cough, but not every runny nose is pertussis. Pertussis is often not suspected or diagnosed until a persistent cough with spasms sets in after one to two weeks. In infants, the cough may be mild or absent. However, infants may have a symptom known as “apnea.” Apnea is a pause in the child’s breathing pattern. Infants and children with pertussis can cough violently and rapidly, over and over, until the air is gone from their lungs and they’re forced to inhale with a loud “whooping” sound. This extreme coughing can result in vomiting and exhaustion. Illness is generally less severe in adolescents and adults. The coughing fits can last for 10 weeks or more. Seeking treatment when pertussis symptoms first start is important. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) offers this advice for treatment: If you or your child is having trouble breathing, seek medical attention immediately. Tell the doctor if you or your child has been around others with cough/ cold symptoms or if you’ve heard that pertussis is in your community. Antibiotic treatment may make the pertussis infection less severe if it is started early, before coughing fits begin. Antibiotic treatment can help prevent spreading the disease to close contacts (people who have spent a lot of time around the infected person) and is necessary for stopping the spread of pertussis. Most people with pertussis no longer spread the disease after taking antibiotics for five days. If antibiotics are not taken, infected persons can spread the disease for at least 21 days.

Veterans Day: Events and ceremonies around nation (AP) — Across the nation, Americans are commemorating Veterans Day with parades, wreath-laying ceremonies, monument dedications and other events. ——— NEW HAMPSHIRE: GREEN PASTURES Richard Velez is a veteran who makes it clear: He didn’t serve in a war, but he welcomed home family and friends — brothers all — who had seen “the beast” that is combat. At the New Hampshire State Veterans Cemetery in Boscawen, Velez joined hundreds of others on Veterans Day. Velez, a 51-year-old from Dover who served with the Army from 1980-86, rode to the peaceful patch of land along the Merrimack River with a Vietnam vets motorcycle club. “This is a place of brokenness,” he said. “Just being here, you find that peace that you’re looking for, that you need. And you feel less broken.” Veterans — those who have seen combat and those who haven’t — take special solace in the cemetery’s green expanses, he said. They find their connection in the orderly rows of headstones that remember comrades from the Civil War to the present. “It’s the brotherhood,” he said. “We never rest because of the beast we’ve seen. And once you’ve seen the beast, you can’t unsee it.” ——— VIRGINIA: ARLINGTON NATIONAL CEMETERY President Barack Obama paid tribute to those who have served in the nation’s military, including one of the nation’s oldest veterans, 107-year-old Richard Overton. “This is the life of one American veteran, living proud and strong in the land he helped keep free,” Obama said during a ceremony at Arlington National Cemetery. Overton was among those in the audience for the outdoor ceremony on a crisp, sun-splashed Veteran’s Day. Earlier in the day, Overton and other veterans attended a breakfast at the White House. Obama used his remarks to remind the nation that thousands of service members are still at war in Afghanistan. The war is expected to formally conclude at the end of next year, though the U.S. may keep a small footprint in the country. Change From Page 1 county residents. Rumpke’s employees will service the containers weekly and will work cooperatively with the solid waste management district to insure the drop-off locations are maintained for cleanliness and safe public access. Drop-off containers will be located at the existing recycling locations in Chester, Pomeroy, Racine, Rutland, Salem Center, Syracuse and Tuppers Plains. A container will also be located near the Columbia Township Volunteer Fire Department in northwestern Meigs County. The site at Forked Run State Park will be discontinued. The existing wooden recycling buildings will be closed up and eventually hauled away. “The Gallia-Jackson-MeigsVinton Joint Solid Waste District would like to extend its sincere gratitude to the loyal participants in the district’s sourceseparated recycling program, and would like to strongly encourage our residents to utilize the new Single Stream Recycling Program in the upcoming years,” Marchi said.” Please contact the solid waste management district at 800-544-1853 or the county commissioners’ office in your own county if you have any further questions,” she said. For the past two years Meigs County’s recycling program has been administered by the Meigs SWCD, and before that it was administered by the Meigs County Office of Recycling and Litter Prevention. The recycling dropoff sites are currently checked three times a week or as needed, sorted on site, and the recyclable material hauled to a local recycling center. “We have been honored to provide this valuable service to county residents during the past two years,” said Steve Jenkins, district administrator for the Meigs SWCD. “Two years ago we were approached by the Meigs County Board of Commissioners and asked if we would be willing to take on this service, and we agreed. During the past two years we have kept well over a million pounds of recyclable material out of the landfills. “In many ways the changes should make it even easier for county residents to recycle. They won’t have to separate their items beforehand and they can also recycle glass bottles and jars. “We encourage everyone to take advantage of this resource,” he said. Jenkins reemphasized that the SWCD will not be operating the recycling program after Jan. 1. “If anyone calls our office with questions or concerns about the recycling program we will tell them they need to call the solid waste management district at 800-544-1853. “We will be making further announcements as the transition approaches to help ensure that county residents who want to recycle will be able to continue doing so,” he added.

Thank You to the Voters of Sutton Township For Re-electing Me as Your Trustee Jerry Hayman Paid for by the candidate Scams From Page 1 themselves from charitable scams by taking the following steps: Research a charity with the Ohio Attorney General’s Office. In Ohio, charitable organizations must file annual reports with the Ohio Attorney General’s Office, and you can search on the office’s website to determine whether an organization is in compliance. Be skeptical of individuals solicit- ing outside malls or shopping centers. Before making a contribution, find out how your donation will be used. Call the charity and ask questions. A reputable organization will welcome inquiries. Request written information. Review the materials carefully, and check the information with an independent resource before making a donation. Develop a donor plan to determine which charities you want to support. Talk to family and friends for suggestions. When you receive unexpected solicitations, say, “I’ve already made plans for this year, but you could send me information to review for next year.” Review your donations. Don’t give your credit card or banking information over the phone to an unexpected caller. Scammers may prey on your desire to help, so stick to your plan, and be an informed donor. �Tuesday, November 12, 2013 The Daily Sentinel s Page 3 www.mydailysentinel.com Ohio convicted killer Satellite hits Atlantic, donates organs COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — A convicted child killer scheduled for execution this week requested Monday that his organs be donated to help his ailing mother and sister. Death row inmate Ronald Phillips would also be willing to donate organs to other individuals if it’s not possible to help his relatives, his attorney said in a letter to the Department of Rehabilitation and Correction. “Ron is making this generous request without any conditions or expectations,” according to the letter obtained by The Associated Press. “He is nonetheless willing to do whatever is necessary to enable as many people as possible to benefit from his death,” the letter continued. Phillips’ request is not a delay tactic, public defender Lisa Lagos said Monday. “Ron just wants to be able to do a charitable act and help bring any closure to the victim’s family that he can,” she said in an interview. The Ohio prisons agency did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Phillips’ request for mercy was denied last week by Ohio Gov. John Kasich. Phillips has dropped all his appeals, Lagos said. Phillips, 40, is scheduled to die Thursday by an untried injection of a sedative and painkiller that has never been used in a U.S. execution. Phillips’ mother has kidney disease and is on dialysis and his sister has a heart condition, the letter said. Phillips was sentenced to die for the rape and death of his girlfriend’s 3-year-old daughter in Akron in 1993. Attorneys for Phillips note that Ohio has stopped using two drugs that damaged an inmate’s organs — one a paralyzing agent, the other a drug that stops the heart. On Thursday, Ohio plans to use midazolam, a sedative, and hydromorphone, a painkiller. It was not immediately clear Monday what effect those might have on organs. Deal struck on wider UN inspections of Iran sites DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) — Iran agreed Monday to offer more information and expanded access to U.N. nuclear inspectors — including more openings at a planned reactor and uranium site — even as America’s top diplomat said Iranian envoys had backed away from a wider deal seeking to ease Western concerns that Tehran could one day develop atomic weapons. The flurry of announcements and comments showed both the complexities and urgency in trying to move ahead on an accord between Iran and world powers after overtime talks in Geneva failed to produce a deal that could curb Iran’s uranium enrichment in exchange for a rollback in some U.S.-led economic sanctions. With negotiators set to resume next week, Iranian officials promoted the pact reached with the U.N. nuclear chief Yukiya Amano as a “roadmap” for greater cooperation and transparency, which could move the talks ahead. But the plans do not mention some of the sites most sought by U.N. teams to probe suspicions of nuclear-related work, notably the Parchin military facility outside Tehran. “It’s an important step forward, but by no means the end of the process,” Amano told The Associated Press in Tehran. “There is still much work to be done.” Western leaders, meanwhile, were keen to display a unified front after suggestions that France had broken ranks in Geneva and demanded more concessions from Iran on enrichment levels and an under-construction heavy water reactor that produced a greater amount of plutonium byproduct, which could be used in eventual weapons production. U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry said it was Iran that put the brakes on reaching a first-phase agreement, but gave no details on the Iranian concerns and suggested it was only a matter of time before a formula is found. “There was unity but Iran couldn’t take it,” Kerry said during a stop in Abu Dhabi. He added: “The French signed off on it, we signed off on it.” Kerry told the BBC on Monday that negotiators had been “very, very close … extremely close” to reaching a deal with Iran. “I think we were separated by four or five different formulations of a particular concept,” he said. In the BBC interview, Kerry acknowledged “the French have been more vocal about one thing or another.” But he said, “the fact is that we had a unity on Saturday in a proposal put in front of the Iranians. But because of some the changes they felt they had to go back and change it.” British Foreign Secretary William Hague said the world powers presented a united front to Iran at the weekend talks that failed to reach an accord, and although “some gaps” remained between parties at the talks, “most of those gaps are narrow.” In Jerusalem, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has acknowledged that an overall deal is likely between Iran and world powers, which would undercut Israeli threats to launch military action against Iranian nuclear sites. Yet he hailed the delay as a chance to “achieve a much better deal.” “The target date for this deal is the date on which a good deal will be achieved that will deny Iran a military nuclear capability,” he told Israel’s parliament Monday. For Netanyahu and his backers, however, hopes have all but evaporated that Iran can be forced by negotiators to completely end its ability to make nuclear fuel. It’s now unclear what type of deal would satisfy Israel, which sees a nuclear-armed Iran as a threat to its existence. Iran has categorically denied it seeks nuclear arms and insists its only seeks reactors for energy and medical applications. Iranian officials portrayed the expanded U.N. access as further sign it seeks to work with the West. Under the plans, announced at a joint news conference, Iran would allow inspectors a first-time visit of its key Gachin uranium mine on the Gulf coast and give broader access to the heavy water facility being built in the central city of Arak. Heavy water reactors use a different type of coolant to produce a greater amount of plutonium byproduct than conventional reactors. Inspectors from the U.N.’s International Atomic Energy Agency, or IAEA, have already visited the reactor site but seek more extensive examinations. Plutonium can be used in nuclear weapons production, but separating it from the reactor byproducts requires a special technology that Iran does not currently possess. The new accord also calls on Iran to provide more details on its nuclear program including proposed new reactor sites and all planned research reactors. This is important because such facilities use 20 percent enriched uranium, which is the highest level acknowledged by Iran and a key aspect of the ongoing nuclear talks. Halting the 20 percent enrichment — which is several steps away from weaponsgrade — is a key goal of Western envoys, for which they may offer Iran a possible easing of U.S.-led sanctions. but what about next one? BERLIN (AP) — This time it splashed down in the Atlantic Ocean — but what about next time? The European Space Agency says one of its research satellites re-entered the Earth’s atmosphere early Monday on an orbit that passed over Siberia, the western Pacific Ocean, the eastern Indian Ocean and Antarctica. The 1,100-kilogram (2,425-pound) satellite disintegrated in the atmosphere but about 25 percent of it — about 275 kilograms (600 pounds) of “space junk” — slammed into the Atlantic between Antarctica and South America, a few hundred kilometers (miles) from the Falkland Islands, ESA said. It caused no known damage. The satellite — called the GOCE, for Gravity field and Ocean Circulation Explorer — was launched in 2009 to map the Earth’s gravitational field. The information is being used to understand ocean circulation, sea levels, ice dynamics and the Earth’s interior. The satellite had been gradually descending in orbit over the last three weeks after running out of fuel Oct. 21. But how much space junk is out there? Here’s a look: SPACE JUNK FLYING AROUND THE COSMOS Some 6,600 satellites have been launched. Some 3,600 remain in space but only about 1,000 are still operational, according to ESA. Not all are still intact, and the U.S. Space Surveillance Net- work tracks some 23,000 space objects, ESA said. A lot of junk comes down unnoticed, said ESA Space Debris Office deputy head Holger Krag. Statistically, he said, “roughly every week you have a re-entry like GOCE.” AND WHEN IT STARTS TO FALL About 100 to 150 metric tons (110 to 165 tons) of space junk re-enters Earth’s atmosphere each year, according to Heiner Klinkrad, the head of ESA’s Space Debris Office. In 56 years of spaceflight, a total of 15,000 metric tons (16,500 tons) of human-made space objects have reentered the atmosphere. HOW FAST ARE WE TALKING? Space junk — mostly satellites and rocket stages or fragments — typically travels at about 28,000 km/h (17,400 mph) shortly before re-entry at about 120 kilometers (75 miles) above the earth, according to ESA. It starts to slow down and heat up in the dense atmosphere. In the last 10 minutes, it hits a travelling speed roughly equal to that of a Formula One racing car —between 200 kph to 300 kph (125 mph to 190 mph). HOW DANGEROUS IS SPACE JUNK? There have been no known human injuries or significant property damage caused by space junk, according to ESA. Unlike meteorites, which hurl into the Earth as solid chunks travelling about three times faster, space junk typically falls as fragments and is distributed over a fallout zone up to 1,000 kilometers (600 miles) long. Krag says fragments from a satellite came down in 2011 over the Netherlands, Germany and the Czech Republic but no pieces were ever found. CAN’T WE REDIRECT THIS STUFF? When systems are still functioning, spacecraft can be maneuvered to try and direct them to land in areas where there would be minimal impact, like into an ocean. In the case of uncontrolled re-entries, scientists are able to predict where the impact will be — but that can be a very wide swath. The GOCE satellite’s systems kept on working much longer than expected, providing data that Krag said will be invaluable in helping scientists figure out prediction models for future space junk descents. MOST FAMOUS SPACE JUNK CRASHES One of the best-known cases is NASA’s Skylab space station, which re-entered in 1979. About 74 metric tons (82 tons) hit the Earth — some of it in Australia and the rest falling into the Indian Ocean. Fragments of Russia’s Mir space station weighing about 135 metric tons (149 tons) came down in 2001 in a controlled dive into the Pacific Ocean. More recently, in 2011, NASA’s UARS satellite crashed into the Pacific and Germany’s ROSAT satellite landed in the Bay of Bengal. None caused any damage. Automatic spending cuts would bite more in 2014 WASHINGTON (AP) — It’s not just longstanding battles over taxes and curbing mandatory spending that are obstacles to a year-end pact on the budget. Another problem is a perception among some lawmakers that the automatic spending cuts known as sequestration haven’t been as harsh as advertised. Indeed, the first year of the automatic cuts didn’t live up to the dire predictions from the Obama administration and others who warned of sweeping furloughs and big disruptions of government services. But the second round is going to be a lot worse, lawmakers and budget experts say. One reason is that federal agencies that have emptied the change jar and searched beneath the sofa cushions for money to ease the pain of sequestration have been so far able to make it through the automatic cuts relatively unscathed. Employee furloughs haven’t been as extensive as feared and agencies were able to maintain most services. Most of that money, however, has been spent in the 2013 budget year that ended on Sept. 30. The Pentagon used more than $5 billion in unspent money from previous years to ease its $39 billion budget cut. Furloughs originally scheduled for 11 days were cut back to six days. The Justice Department found more than $500 million in similar money that allowed agencies like the FBI to avoid furloughs altogether. Finding replacement cuts is the priority of budget talks scheduled to resume this week, but many observers think the talks won’t bear fruit. Both sides appear to see leverage. Democrats are hoping that $20 billion in new Pentagon cuts below levels imposed by sequestration will force Republicans to yield. Republicans say far more of their members are willing to keep the cuts, which appears to have added to the resolve of GOP negotiators. A failure of the talks, led by House Budget Committee Chairman Paul Ryan, R-Wis., and his Senate counterpart, Patty Murray, D-Wash., would mean that agencies that have thus far withstood the harshest effects of the across-the-board cuts in 2013 would get hit with a second round of cuts that’ll feel a lot worse than the first. A drop in participation and lower-than-expected food prices allowed a widely supported food program for low-income pregnant women and children to get through this year without having to take away anyone’s benefits. A second round of automatic sequestration cuts could mean some women with toddlers lose coverage next year. To avert furloughing air traffic controllers and disrupting airline flights this year, Congress shifted $253 million in automatic cuts to airport construction funds. Those funds are needed to meet a requirement to install runway safety areas at all airports by 2015, so that pot of money won’t be available to bail out controllers again. Senate Appropriations Committee Chairwoman Barbara Mikulski, D-Md., said agency budget chiefs “squeezed everything to get through the first year thinking we would come to our senses.” However, most of those accounting maneuvers were one-time steps. The automatic spending cuts in 2014 promise to be far more painful. For the time being, Congress has frozen 2014 spending at 2013 sequestration levels while negotiators seek a budget deal that would ease some of the automatic cuts. Absent a deal, the spending “caps” on agency operating budgets will shrink by another $20 billion or so, with most of that money squeezed out of the Pentagon. Nowhere will the effects be felt more than at the Justice Department, which pretty much skated through the automatic cuts in 2013. “Justice had like half a billion dollars in unobligated balances and so they brought that back and that made it possible for them not to have any furloughs anywhere in the Justice Department, Bureau of Prisons or FBI or whatever,” said Scott Lilly, a former top House Appropriations Committee aide. “But they’ve used that up so they’re going to get hit much harder this year than they did last year.” The FBI already has suspended training of new agents and has instituted a hiring freeze. “Quantico is quiet. I have no new agent classes going through there,” new FBI Director James Comey said last month. “I can’t afford it.” Without relief from Congress, Comey said the automatic spending cuts will require him to eliminate 3,000 positions. The FBI’s 36,000 employees are facing unpaid furloughs of two weeks. The situation will also worsen at the Pentagon, where the first round was no picnic, eroding combat readiness and grounding Air Force squadrons. Cuts in military training, maintenance and weapons purchases were deeper than average because the Pentagon was allowed to exempt military personnel accounts. Because of $4 billion in prior-year funding, the Pentagon was able to maintain Navy and Air Force procurement in 2013. Without that money in 2014, the Pentagon will have to the delay the delivery of a new aircraft carrier and a nuclear submarine. “We are consuming tomorrow’s ‘seed corn’ to feed today’s requirements,” Marine Corps Commandant Gen. James Amos told the Senate Armed Services Committee. “We might as well shut down the Pentagon,” said House Armed Services Committee Chairman Howard “Buck” McKeon, R-Calif. “You’d better hope we never have a war again.” Accounts for housing vouchers for the poor took a hit in 2013, but most local housing agencies had previously appropriated but unspent money in reserve. Few, if any, families already getting vouchers lost them. Instead, people on waiting lists seeking vouchers just didn’t get them. The Center on Budget and Policy Priorities, a liberal think tank and advocacy group for the poor, calculated that 40,000 to 65,000 fewer families will have vouchers by the end of this year than at the end of 2012. By the end of 2014, between 125,000 and 185,000 fewer families would have vouchers if the automatic spending cuts stay in place unchanged, the center said, and that could mean some families might lose their apartments. The Commodities Futures Trading Commission, charged with new and complex policing responsibility of the over-the-counter derivatives market under the 2010 overhaul of Wall Street regulations, managed to make it through 2013 without furloughs. But CFTC Chairman Gary Gensler warned agency employees last month that they face up to 14 unpaid furlough days next year. In Washington on Monday, university presidents from the Association of Public and Land-Grant Universities told reporters that sequestration has translated into canceled research projects and cuts in staff, despite efforts by universities to bridge the gaps. A second round of sequestration could mean closed labs and layoffs. “We’re not universities that are flush with resources that can put in sort of a buffer in a long period of time,” said University of California, Los Angeles, Chancellor Gene Block.

Wittner Some 47 million Americans live in poverty, and a key reason is the decline of the minimum wage. First established under the Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938, the nationwide minimum wage was designed to lift millions of American workers out of poverty and to stimulate the economy. Unfortunately, however, it was not indexed to inflation, and big businesses — hostile from the start — fought, often successfully, to prevent congressional action to raise it. As a result, over the past forty years, the purchasing power of the minimum wage has fallen sharply. If Congress had kept the minimum wage in pace with inflation over this period, it would today be $10.74. But, in fact, it is $7.25 — about two-thirds of its previous purchasing power. A major consequence is that increasing numbers of workers and their families live in poverty. The annual salary of a full-time American worker employed at $7.25 per hour is $15,080 — less than the official federal government poverty level for a family of two. The poverty level for a family of four is $23,550 — considerably beyond what a minimumwage worker earns. At the same time, the rich have grown far richer. Between 1968 and 2012, as the minimum wage declined in value, the top 1 percent of households doubled their share of the nation’s income. The typical CEO of a big business received a 16 percent raise in 2012 — to $15.1 million. That year, the pay of Wal-Mart’s CEO, Mike Duke, rose 14 percent, to $20.7 million. By contrast, Walmart — the largest employer in the United States — pays its sales associates an average wage of $8.81 an hour. It is much the same story at McDonald’s, which employs large numbers of the nation’s low wage workers. In 2012, the CEO of McDonald’s was paid $27.7 million. Although his income roughly tripled in 2012, the income of McDonald’s fast food workers remained abysmal. Thanks to this pattern, the United States now has the most unequal distribution of income in the industrialized world. Another consequence of keeping the minimum wage low is that, by underpaying workers, corporations are shifting the real costs of doing business to the general public. According to a study released this October by the University of California and the University of Illinois, 52 percent of America’s fast food workers receive assistance from public programs like food stamps, Temporary Assistance for Needy Families, and Medicaid thanks to their poverty-level wages. As a result, taxpayers are contributing $7 billion per year to pick up the cost of supporting these fastfood workers. The study estimates that public assistance to McDonald’s workers alone amounts to $1.2 billion a year — the equivalent of one-fifth of that corporation’s annual profits. Taxpayers are also paying enormous amounts to support the impoverished employees of Walmart and other giant companies. Many people have recognized the negative consequences of letting the minimum wage dwindle to insignificance. Twenty states and the District of Columbia have raised their minimum wages higher than the $7.25 federal rate. Congress is currently considering the Fair Minimum Wage Act that would gradually raise the minimum wage to $10.10 in three steps and then index it to the cost of living. In addition, more than 120 cities across the United States have adopted “living wage” ordinances that require employers benefitting from publicly funded service contracts or economic development subsidies to pay wages higher than the state or federal minimums. Taking matters into their own hands, desperate workers in low-wage establishments, such as Walmart, McDonald’s, Burger King, and Wendy’s have begun staging walkouts, demanding higher wages. This August, workers protested at nearly 1,000 fast-food restaurants in more than fifty The Daily Sentinel Reader Services Correction Policy Our main concern in all stories is to be accurate.

Polls also show that the overwhelming majority of the American people support raising the minimum wage. So why not do it? The major objection trumpeted by the corporations and their apologists is that raising the minimum wage would lead to a loss of jobs. But sophisticated studies by economists have reported little or no effect on employment of raising the minimum wage. Summarizing the studies earlier this year, Paul Krugman — the Nobel Prize-winning economist — declared: “The great preponderance of the evidence … points to little if any negative effect of minimum wage increases on employment.” Why is this the case? One reason is that, with a higher wage, workers stay on the job longer, thus increasing labor efficiency and decreasing the cost of recruitment and retraining. Another is that twothirds of minimum wage workers are employed by large businesses, which can easily afford higher wages (though they’d rather not pay them). Walmart, for example, had $469 billion in sales and $17 billion in profits in 2012. The number of jobs, however, is not really the crucial issue. What is the crucial issue is the kind of jobs. Americans could have full employment if they had a slave labor system. But they don’t want a slave labor system. They could have full employment if they had a sweatshop labor system. But they don’t want a sweatshop labor system. Most Americans want a labor system that treats workers with fairness and respect. Another objection is that low-wage workers are mostly teenagers, who don’t have to support a family. But people over the age of twenty constitute more than 88 percent of the 30 million American workers who would receive a raise if the federal minimum wage were increased to $10.10 an hour. These are adults — many of them married and, also, parents.

The RedStorm, who improved to 2-0 on the young season, surpassed the century mark for the second consecutive game (113 points against Wilberforce University in Tuesday night’s season opener) - a feat that hasn’t been accomplished since the 1997-1998 season when the then-RedWomen scored 122 against Ohio University-Eastern on November 29, 1997 and 101 points against Wilberforce five days later. The 127 points also broke a record for the most points scored in a single game by the Rio women, with the aforementioned 122 points against Ohio University-East serving as the previous school record. “To give a little history, that’s the same MiamiMiddletown squad that defeated us last year 93-90 in the Bevo Francis Invitational,” Rio Grande head coach David Smalley said. “I thought we really played within ourselves and put together a solid game.” Smalley’s RedStorm jumped out to a 37-17 lead halfway through the opening period before taking a 64-31 advantage into the halftime lockerroom. Gambill, a freshman guard from Ashland, Kentucky, drained three of her nine treys in the first half, while sophomore forward Sarah Bonar (Hartford, OH) had a double-double in the first half with 17 points and a team-high 10 rebounds. She finished with 21 points. All 14 members of the varsity squad saw action in the first half and all would score a point by game’s end. The second half was more of the same, as the RedStorm stuck with its reserves for the majority of the half. Freshman guard Taylor Frye (Vanceburg, KY) sank the bucket that was responsible for the record-breaking 123rd and 124th points. Gambill was the only Rio player to spend more than 18 minutes on the floor. “I’ll never tell kids not to play hard, no matter See WIN | 7 Bryan Walters | Daily Sentinel Point Pleasant running back Cody Mitchell gets past two Lewis County defenders for a touchdown run during the first half of Saturday’s Week 11 football contest at OVB Field in Point Pleasant, W.Va. Point goes unbeaten, beats Minutemen 31-21 Bryan Walters bwalters@civitasmedia.com POINT PLEASANT, W.Va. — Winning isn’t easy, which makes perfection all the more sweeter. It took four hard-fought quarters, but the Point Pleasant football team achieved perfection for the fourth time in school history Saturday afternoon following a 31-21 victory over visiting Lewis County in the Week 11 regular season finale at Ohio Valley Bank Track and Field in Mason County. The Big Blacks (10-0) never trailed in the contest, but the hosts struggled to find any kind of offensive rhythm in the first half — which allowed the Minutemen (7-3) to hang around in a one possession game at the break. PPHS took its largest lead of the game late in the third quarter at 21-7, but Lewis County responded with 14 of the next 17 points to close to within 24-21 with 3:55 left in regulation. Point, however, responded when it needed to most — as the Big Blacks marched 80 yards to paydirt on their ensuing possession to drive the proverbial nail in the coffin. Cody Mitchell’s sevenyard run at the 1:14 mark allowed the hosts to wrap up the scoring and secure a 31-21 triumph. The Big Blacks outgained the Minutemen 450-226 in total yards of offense and claimed a 20-8 overall edge in first downs, but a first half pick-six and a minus-2 turnover differential also made for an eventful day on the sidelines. Afterward, seventh-year PPHS coach Dave Darst noted that it took everyone doing a role for 48 minutes to make this victory a reality. He also acknowledged that it was a very fitting end to what has become an historic 2013 campaign. “It was just a fantastic day for Point Pleasant football. Our kids never quit,” Darst said. “We had two touchdowns called back on penalties, and a lot of teams could have just quit at that point and said it’s not our day. We didn’t do that. We just had a bunch of people step up and make plays when we needed them. “I’m proud for our coaches, our players and our community. This is a nice reward for all of the hard work and preparation that we’ve put in to this point. A lot of people didn’t think we could put together a competitive AAA program, and I’m not saying we’re going to win the state championship, but we are one of only two unbeatens in the regular season in Class AAA. We are going to show up every week and play competitive football.” The win allowed the Big Blacks to secure their second unbeaten regular season in the last three years and also join the 2011, 1979 and 1969 squads with perfect records. The 1962 team at PPHS also went unbeaten, but did finish the season with one tie. Point Pleasant also secured its sixth straight postseason berth and the program’s 11th playoff appearance overall with the decision, which helped Point extend its regular season winning streak to 14 consecutive games. Including the playoffs, PPHS is now 38-8 over the last four seasons — which is also a program best. For seniors Colin Peal, Brandon Edge, Austen Toler, Zach Hardman, Zach Stewart, Levi Doolittle, Thomas Mitchell, Colin McDermitt, Brycen Reymond, Chase Walton, Levi Russell, Luke Halstead and Tyler McDaniel, it was not a bad way to wrap up your final regular season home game. “It’s a special day for those seniors. They’re not a big group by the numbers, but they have been part of more wins in this program than any other class in the history of this school,” Darst said. “They are good kids that deserve something like this, and really it’s a tribute to their families. They’ve been raised right and taught the value of hard work, and here at Point Pleasant — it’s about hard work. “We have to make ourselves better to compete against the bigger Photos by Alex Hawley | Daily Sentinel Southern senior Colton Walters fights his way into the endzone for the Tornadoes lone score during Steubenville Catholic Central’s 35-7 playoff victory at Reno Field.

The Southern football team led 7-0 in its first ever playoff game, but went on to commit seven turnovers and fell to the host Steubenville Catholic Central Crusaders by a count of 35-7 in the OHSAA Region 25 quarterfinal, Saturday at Harding Stadium/Reno Field. Southern’s (8-3) defense pushed back Steubenville Central Catholic (9-2) 12-yards on the game’s opening and forced the Crusaders to punt. The Tornadoes converted on a third and eight with a 42 yard pass from Tristen Wolfe to Hunter Johnson, which set the Purple and Gold up with a first and goal.

Don’t get me wrong, it was ugly, but those are games that we lost in the past our best player didn’t play well, but we had other guys pick it up.” French was referring to sophomore guard D.D.

The sophomore from Rungsted Kyst, Denmark connected on nine of his 12 field goal attempts and eight of his 10 free throw tries en route to his second straight 20-plus-point outing. He scored 13 points in the opening half and 14 points after the intermission. “Phillip has the ability to score in bunches,” French said. “He’s one of the guys we can turn to now on those nights that D.D. doesn’t have it. That’s something we haven’t had in the past - somebody else to turn to.” Rio Grande also got 12 points each from freshman forward Jalen Harris (Winchester, VA) and senior guard Jermaine Warmack (Orange, NJ), while junior center Sterling Smoak (San Antonio, TX) had 10 points. Harris also pulled down nine rebounds and blocked two shots, while Warmack had three assists and four steals. The RedStorm trailed 13-3 and 15-5 inside the game’s first 7-1/2 minutes, but slowly chipped away at the deficit and eventually managed to grab a 35-33 halftime lead. The Cougars (0-4) never led again, although they twice closed to within one point in the second half including 61-60 with 6:08 remaining - but Rio went on an 18-6 run to open up its biggest lead of the night, 79-66, after a pair of free throws by junior guard Evan Legg (Piketon, OH) with 24.7 seconds left.

The RedStorm outrebounded the Thunderhawks to the tune of 55-33. Behind Gambill and Bonar’s 20-point-plus efforts was junior guard Brianna Thomas (Maplewood, NJ), who had 18 points to go along with her team-high six assists. Freshman forwards Brooke Marcum (Vinton, OH) and Audra Clark (St. Marys, WV) finished with 11 and 10 points, respectively.

The RedStorm raced to a 23-4 lead inside the opening five minutes and outscored Miami University-Hamilton 17-0 over the final 2:48 en route to a 12172 blitzing of the Harriers, Friday night, in the opening round of the Saunders Insurance Tipoff Classic at the Newt Oliver Arena. The 121 points represented the most ever scored by a Ken Frenchcoached team and also were the program’s high- est point total since a 121-35 win over Ohio University-Lancaster on November 19, 1999. “We’re not going to be able to do that in the Mid-South (Conference),” French said. “There were stretches in this game that were hit over the head with an ugly stick, but Miami’s style of play dictated that to some degree. They don’t really have a five (center) and that created some matchup problems for them, although I thought we actually played better during the times we didn’t have our fives on the floor.” The RedStorm shot 59.3 percent for the game (48-for-81), including an See URG | 8 Hertz From Page 6 from the field (47.1%) in the second half.

The hosts forced a three-and-out on the opening possession for LCHS, then marched 43 yards in eight plays on the ensuing drive to claim a 7-0 advantage. But, it was how Point scored that first TD that should have signaled that something wasn’t quite right. On their way into the end zone, the Big Blacks coughed up the ball and was lost in a pile of two teams. PPHS wideout Jon Peterson came up with the fumble recovery in the end zone at the 6:28 mark, allowing Point to take the early lead. Lewis County followed with a nine-play drive that resulted in a punt, but Point Pleasant followed with its biggest mistake of the day three plays later. Quarterback Aden Yates threw a screen pass that was picked off by Brandon Moneypenny, who returned it 38 yards to make it a seven-all contest with 25 seconds left in the opening stanza. The Big Blacks answered on their ensuing possession, as the hosts marched 60 yards in seven plays to reclaim the lead at 14-7 after Mitchell scored on a 12-yard scamper with 9:56 left in the first half. Neither team scored during the rest of the second canto, allowing PPHS to take a sevenpoint lead into the intermission. Offensively, Point Pleasant dominated the opening 24 minutes of play — yet only owned a one-possession lead. PPHS outgained the Minutemen 191-16 in total yards and held a 10-2 edge in first downs. PPHS also had two turnovers before the break, compared to only one for LCHS. Point claimed its biggest lead of the day with 3:04 left in the third quarter after Mitchell capped a six-play, 38-yard drive with a two-yard scoring plunge, making it a 21-7 contest. The score remained that way headed into the fourth quarter. The Minutemen clawed back into the game with 7:15 left in regulation, as Ryan Carson capped an eight-play, 42-yard drive with a two-yard scoring run that made it a 21-14 contest. PPHS answered the bell on its ensuing possession, as the hosts drove 18 yards in six plays to get the ball down to the LCHS eight yard line. Senior Colin Peal — who missed a 35-yard field goal on the opening drive of the second half — connected from 26 yards out, giving Point a 24-14 cushion with 4:10 left in the contest. On Lewis County’s next drive, the guests needed only one play to pull back to within a possession. Malik Conway took a doublereverse handoff and rumbled 68 yards down the right sideline to paydirt — making it a 24-21 contest with 3:55 left in regulation. That, however, was as close as the Minutemen would be the rest of the way. Point followed with its game-clinching drive that was finished off by Mitchell’s sevenyard run, and the celebration at OVB Field was on. Point Pleasant finished the day with 390 rushing yards on 49 carries, with Mitchell leading the charge with 193 yards and three touchdowns on 24 attempts. Cody Marcum was next with 132 yards on 10 totes, while Chase Walton added 49 yards on 11 tries.

Mitchell had the Big Blacks’ lone takeaway after a second quarter interception, and Peal was a perfect 4-for-4 on PAT kicks. LCHS finished the game with 165 rushing yards on 34 attempts, with Mark Metzer leading the guests with 60 yards on 16 carries. Conway also added 57 yards on four tries, while Ryan Carson chipped in 12 yards on three totes. Skyler Carlton was 7-of-14 passing for 61 yards, including one interception and zero touchdowns. Carlton also rushed six times for 31 yards. Brandon Robinson led the wideouts with three grabs for 37 yards.

Freshman forward Jalen Harris also had a big debut for Rio, pulling down a gamehigh 10 rebounds to go with three blocked shots and a trio of steals. “I said before that we have some guys who are capable of scoring,” French said. “We attacked the rim tonight, we shot free throws pretty well for us - we still have to work on our defense - but I’m happy. We got the first game jitters out of the way and we had multiple guys in double figures.” Miami-Hamilton (0-2) used a 16-4 run to cut a 20-point deficit down to eight, 32-24, following a Cameron Cochrum threepointer with 6:55 remaining in the first half, but Rio reeled off 12 of the next 15 points to push its lead back to 17 and the rout was on.

Seven plays into the drive SCCHS quarterback Benton Colabella hit Johnny DiCarlantonio with a seven yard touchdown pass. John Paul McNamara added the extra point to tie the game up at seven with 5:26 remaining in the opening stanza. A pair of punts by each team set the Purple and Gold set up offense at its own 38 yard line. On the second play of the drive Tyler Barton broke a long run to the SCC 10 yard line but the play was called back due to holding. The very next play Wolfe’s pass to Paul Ramthun was tipped into the air and intercepted by Khalil Jones, who then returned it 36 yards for the touchdown. McNamara added the PAT to give the Crusaders the 14-7 lead with 7:37 remaining in the first half. Neither team was able to score before the end of the half and SCCHS led 14-7 at the midway point. Nearly two-thirds of the third period had whittled away by the time an offense was able to get on the opponents side of the 50 yard line, and it was Southern which accomplished the feat first. On the 10th play of the SHS drive, a drive that began on the Tornado 27 yard line, Southern’s Wolfe hit Barton with a short pass at the 20 yard line but the ball was fumbled away and SCCHS recovered. The Crusaders marched down the field with the 10 play drive that was capped off by a 12 yard scoring run by Jones. McNamara’s kick was good to put SCCHS ahead 21-7 with 11 minutes to play. Southern’s Wolfe completed a pass to Deem near midfield on the ensuing drive but an unsportsman-like conduct penalty against the Purple and Gold set them back 15 yards. The Tornadoes worked their way back near midfield but SCCHS forced and recovered a fumble to regain possession. Steubenville Catholic Central was backed up on the first play of the drive but answered with a 45 yard touchdown pass from Colabella to Aleks Porreca with 7:28 left to play. The PAT was kicked home by McNamara and SCCHS was in control 28-7. Southern’s next drive was again cut short by a turnover when Wolfe’s pass was tipped into the air and intercepted by Ryan Fletcher. SCCHS was forced into a three and out on the ensuing drive and Southern took over at its own 25 yard line. Four consecutive incomplete passes by the Tornadoes set SCCHS up again with 25 yards between the Crusaders and another score. Two plays into the drive Jones made that score a reality with a 12 yard run, and following a McNamara extra point, put SCCHS up 35-7. That was the final score of the game and Steubenville Central Catholic won 35-7. “Our turnovers hurt us tonight,” fourth year Southern head coach Kyle Wickline said following the game. “We had to do some things that we don’t normally do and we struggled up front. Their flow was hard on us and we couldn’t get that extra yardage.” Tristen Wolfe was 12-of-23 passing for the Purple and Gold for 138 yards with a touchdown and two interceptions. Wolfe also paced the SHS ground attack with 30 yards on 11 carries. Tyler Barton ran 14 times for 27 yards, Jaylen Blanks had three carries for 20 yards, while Ryan Billingsley and Tom Ramthun each had six yards on two carries. Colton Holbrook had one four yard carry, while Blake Johnson’s lone rush was stopped two yards behind the line. Trenton Deem led the SHS receiving core with 74 yards on six grabs, Hunter Johnson had one 42-yard catch, while Colton Wakters had two catches for 12 yards and a touchdown. Tom Ramthun had one reception for four yards, while Tyler Baton and Paul Ramthun each had one three yard grab. Steubenville Catholic Central was led by Khalil Jones with 101 yards on 11 carries with two scores. Ryan Fletcher added 56 yards on six rushes, while Chris Murphy had 26 yards on two attempts. Benton Colabella was 10-of-16 through the air for 115 yards and two scores, with his favorite target being Aleks Porreca with four grabs for 56 yards with a touchdown. Southern’s defense was led by Paul Ramthun, Trenton Deem and Casey Pickens with a sack each, while The Crusaders’ were led by Louis Fallon with two sacks. SCCHS held a 14-to-10 advantage in first downs and a 297to-291 advantage in total yards. The Crusaders ran the ball 31 times for 182 yards, while Southern toted the rock 34 times for 91 yards. Southern turned the ball over seven times in the game, while SCC had no turnovers. Steubenville Catholic Central was penalized eight times for 55 yards, compared to the six penalties for 45 yards by Southern. The Crusaders snapped its two game losing skid with the victory and will travel to Zanesville to face top seeded Trimble on Saturday in the OHSAA Region 25 semi-final. This marks the final game in the career of Southern seniors Dennis Teaford, Hunter Johnson, Tyler Barton, Zac Beegle, Brandon Moodispaugh, Trenton Deem, Colton Walters, Josh Justis, Travis Kimes, Casey Pickens, Wyatt Jarrell, Chris Yeater and Brandon Grueser. “These seniors busted their butts all year and all through their careers and making it here was great for them,” said Wickline. “I don’t know if we are at this caliber yet. (Steubenville Catholic Central) has been here multiple years in a row and we’re still moving forward but haven’t got that far yet.” LEGALS �Tuesday, November 12, 2013 The Daily Sentinel s Page 9 www.mydailysentinel.com BLONDIE By Dean Young and John Marshall BEETLE BAILEY By Mort, Greg and Brian Walker Today’s answer RETAIL By Norm Feuti HAGAR THE HORRIBLE HI AND LOIS By Chris Browne Written By Brian & Greg Walker; Drawn By Chance Browne THE BRILLIANT MIND OF EDISON LEE By John Hambrock BABY BLUES ZITS By Jerry Scott & Rick Kirkman By Jerry Scott and Jim Borgman PARDON MY PLANET CONCEPTIS SUDOKU By Vic Lee by Dave Green By Dave Green 5 8 By Hilary Price 4 1 5 3 2 1 3 9 8 6 9 2 5 5 4 2 8 7 6 11/12 Difficulty Level Hank Ketcham’s DENNIS THE MENACE THE LOCKHORNS By Bunny Hoest & John Reiner By Bil and Jeff Keane Make the Switch to DISH Today and Save Up To 50% Call Now and Ask How! 1-800-401-1670 All offers require 24-month commitment and credit qualification.Call 7 days a week 8am - 11pm EST Promo Code: MB0913 *Offer subject to change based on premium movie channel availability Today’s Solution THE FAMILY CIRCUS Promotional prices ly ... starting at on FREE OVER 30 PREMIUM MOVIE CHANNELS mo. ths for 12 monHo pper Not eligible wi2 th or iPad offer.

CATHARINE, Ky. — The book closed on a season to remember for the University of Rio Grande women’s soccer team, as they suffered a 1-0 road defeat at the hands of St. Catharine College, Saturday afternoon, in the quarterfinal round of the Mid-South Conference Tournament. The loss, which denied Rio its first ever post-season victory, was the second of the one-goal variety that Rio Grande suffered to St. Catharine this season. Assisted by forward Macy Higdon, midfielder Chelsey Landrum snapped a scoreless tie by netting the lone goal of the contest in the 62nd minute. In a match that was dominated by defense, the Patriots were able to out- shoot Rio Grande by a margin of just 5-1, with a shot on goal margin of 2-1. The lone shot by the fifth-seeded RedStorm was from the foot of freshman defender Hannah Brindle (Bolton, England) in the 52nd minute of the match. The RedStorm finish the season with a program-best 9-9 record and recorded a program-high four wins in the Mid-South Conference. The loss also marked the final game in the career of senior defender Mary Beth Schramm (Marietta, OH), whose appearance in Saturday’s loss was the 68th of her career, tying the all-time school mark set by Erica Nagel from 2008-11. St. Catharine, the tourney’s No. 4 seed, improved to 13-6 on the season and will advance to play top-seeded Lindsey Wilson in next Thursday’s semifinals. fever The race is on at mydailytribune.com mydailyregister.com mydailysentinel.com Show off your Auto Racing knowledge & Sprint to the Cup for great weekly prizes!
