WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 12, 2011 www.mydailysentinel.com Pomeroy Council: Road project moving forward By Charlene Hoeflich mdsnews@mydailysentinel.com POMEROY – Pomeroy Village Council members heard the news at Monday night’s meeting that the long awaited removal of two utility poles standing on the village right of way near Taco Bell were being removed allowing the village to go forward on a road construction project in that area. Removal of the poles has delayed work for months on the $350,000 project to be paid for with a $250,000 grant from Buckeye Hills and the balance of $100,000 or less coming from the CIC. Advertising for bids on the project to be carried out with oversight from the Ohio Department of Transportation is expected to begin soon. As for flooding in the Monkey Run area, Mayor John Musser said work to alleviate the problem caused by collapsed sewer lines is also expected to get underway this fall. The project cost has been set at $850,000 with FEMA to pay 75 percent, and the state and village to split the balance of 25 percent. An earlier announced layoff of village employees due to dwindling money in the general fund from which police and certain other workers are paid has occurred. Chief of Police Mark Proffitt reported that Homer Mills, code enforcement officer, and Sandra Thorla, meter reader, are on temporary layoff. He also indicated that another layoff is pending in order to make the $13,261 remaining in the general fund take the village through the rest of the year. Proffitt described his department as moving in “survival mode.” On the recommendation of Village Administrator Paul Hellman Council passed a resolution relating to improving the lines from the water wells in Syracuse to the Pomeroy pumping station. Passing the resolution will facilitate funding opportunities for the village through the Ohio Public Works program which has a loan forgiveness program for certain types of village improvement projects, Hellman said.

Hal Kneen, Meigs County Extension Educator, seen here gave tips on what needs to be done about plants in the fall in preparation for cold weather, and what needs to be planted now for early spring blossoms. He gave tips on trimming and suggestions on suitable locations for fall plantings. He encouraged the gardeners to try their hand at something new. The program is presented by the Extension Service and the Masters Gardeners in the spring and in the fall. While the event is called an exchangethat’s where you bring plants from home and exchange them for something different - it is more than that because while many of those attending had much to share, others had nothing but were welcome to take plants home with them anyway.

The Mayor’s report showed collections from all fines, forfeitures and costs over the past month of $11,053. Trick or treat night was set for Oct. 27, 5 to 6 p.m. MIDDLEPORT — As it entered its fourth quarter of the financial year, the Village of Middleport had exceeded income tax collections compared to all of last year, a positive economic indicator for a village struggling to stay in the black. At Monday evening’s regular meeting of Middleport Village Council, Councilman Emerson Heighton noted that as of Sept. 2, the village had received $203,188 from its one-percent income tax this year, with four more months to be collected. Last year, the village collected $204,454. The village collects one percent income tax from those who either live or work in the village. The collection rate for the year, to date, is positive news for the village, as it — like so many other villages — has struggled to balance a general fund budget. The news is even more positive, according to Fiscal Officer Susan Baker, because last year’s collection figure includes a significant overpayment from one of the village’s employers, and could be interpreted as larger than it should have been. The village has imposed payraise freezes, reduced staff and taken other measures to ensure it ends the year with a positive fiscal balance. Officials hope a new village hall and jail facility will help increase revenue for the general fund, through the payment for jail space by other agencies. That revenue, Baker has said, is one of the few means the village has of collecting additional money for the general fund. The village has seen a drop in the collec- See Tax, A2 Bank receives facelift One of Pomeroy’s landmarks, the Peoples Bank building at the corner of Court and Second streets, is receiving a facelift, by way of a paint job around its signature second-floor window.

Started by students a few years ago, the Rio Grande Veterans Organization has grown rapidly, and today provides many different services to students and area residents. The Veterans Center is located in the bottom floor of Boyd Hall, in space given to the organization by the university. “We’re making a complete upgrade of the Veterans Center,” explained Todd Foley, who is vice president of the Rio Grande Veterans Organization. The sophomore from Vinton County explained that new computers and new furniture are being added to the Center. In addition, the veterans of campus have been painting the facility and making other improvements. The students even painted the logo for the Veterans Organization on the wall inside the center. “Everything we are doing in the Center, we are doing to make it more veteran friendly,” said Tony Burnette, who is the president of the Rio Grande Veterans Organization. Student veterans, as well as veterans in the community are invited to stop by the center to relax, study, talk with other veterans, listen to special presentations and just visit with other veterans. The Veterans Organization also brings in speakers to discuss topics such as health care benefits and educational opportunities that are available for veterans. Many veterans don’t know about the funding available to them which can help pay for their educations. Burnette and others in the center can help them learn about the options available to them to help them pay for college. Veterans are often are more comfortable talking with other veterans about the different issues they are facing, and the Veterans Center is a great place for them to meet, Burnette said. “The veterans community is unique,” he said. Veterans of different ages and backgrounds share a unique bond, and the center is a comfortable place for these individuals to come together. The Rio Grande Veterans Organization also works with veterans organizations at other college campuses, and Burnette is involved with the statewide group for veterans who are college students. The groups from the different college campuses all work together to see what programs are working well and to talk about different events and activities to hold in order to best assist veterans. The Rio Grande Veterans Organization is also planning to be more active on campus this year, taking part in a wide range of campus and community events. All local veterans, whether they are Rio Grande students or not, are invited to stop into the Veterans Center and learn more about the different programs available to them. The Center is open from 9 a.m. until 7 p.m. Mondays through Fridays and is open other times by appointment. “We’re here to help,” Burnette said.

Sharp to be honored with Spirit of Our Community Award By Anna Marie Hartenbach mdrnews@mydailyregister.com APPLE GROVE — “The ancient Chinese philosopher Lao Tzu once wrote that ‘Great acts are made up of small deeds.’ The truth held in those simple words is imminently exemplified in the life and deeds of Donna Jean Sharp of Apple Grove.” Pulled from the first paragraph of the 2011 Mason County Spirit of Our Community nomination narrative for Sharp, it provides a powerful statement on the type of person she is seen to be through the eyes of family, friends and community members. Sharp is one of five individuals and one community organization who will be honored this year at the Mason County Spirit of Our Community Awards ceremony. The program spotlights the work of volunteers and donors in Mason County who work to improve the community. She will be honored for the category of human service. Sharp, who said she didn’t know anything about the award until she won, was nominated by her daughter, Michelle McComas, and grandson, also of Apple Grove. She is a member of Barton Chapel Church in Apple Grove, where she serves the community by cooking meals for widowers, widows, the sick, disabled, the poor, and others. “Never would she ask for money to reimburse her for the often high cost of cooking these meals, and never would she make it a point to tell anybody about her good deeds. She takes Matthew 6:1-4 very seriously and does her good works quietly and never resents her deeds going largely unnoticed,” the nomination article states. With cooking as her forte, she said her mother never allowed Sharp or her sister to cook or do dishes. She taught herself to cook after getting married and now considers it a hobby. “Now, I cook all of the time. I bake a lot, especially through the holidays for people — I do fruit cakes through the holiday seasons from Thanksgiving to Christmas,” Sharp said. “I’m all the time cooking something for somebody. I love to cook, and I love to bake.” Sharp said she’s been a Christian since she was nine years old and since then, has helped and been involved Donna Jean Sharp, winner of the Human Services 2011 Spirit of Our Community Award. with the church in any way possible, for general community grant support with God and her faith leading her to through the Mason County Support, do so.

Council also hopes voters will approve three tax levies appearing on the November general ballot, two of which will increase general fund revenue, which pays for police protection, street lights and other village services. During the business meeting, council conducted the second reading on ordinances designed to amend language in the village’s ordinances. Specifically, the ordinances make an adjustment to the job description of the village’s building inspector, and make changes to unify the ordinances relating to the depths of swimming pools and hot tubs and the fences they require. It was noted the village has recently retired its loan for one of the village’s firetrucks, another savings to the village, according to Baker. Council also: Approved the mayor’s report of fees and fines collected in September, in the amount of $$24,748.67. Approved the monthly reports of the income tax, public works, refuse and building inspector.

She wasn’t supposed to be on the front lines, but it sounds like because of the guerilla tactics being used, she was in combat more than expected. She’s suffering from PTSD and is struggling to work and act normally, and I wonder whether this is all personal, or somewhat based Dr. Joyce Brothers on her gender. Are women more likely than men to experience psychological problems following combat? — T.K. Dear T.K.: It’s terrible that your neighbor is finding it hard to reintegrate into civilian society and readjust to her role at home, but if you investigate a little further, you’ll find out that this is an all-too-common problem for our military personnel returning from war-torn areas. According to a recent report in the Journal of Abnormal Psychology, women are no more or less likely to suffer PTSD or other psychological problems after military duty than are men. Depression rates also seem to be about the same for men and women. Interestingly, the rates of substance abuse were higher in men than in women — possibly reflecting gender differences in the ability to cope with and work through stress and emotional issues. Rather than simply standing by and speculating on your neighbor’s emotional and psychological well-being, you can try doing something to help. While you might not be a close friend, you still can welcome her back to the neighborhood and let her know that you’re there to support her. With more women than ever being exposed to combat overseas, it behooves us to determine gender differences that might key us in to different risk factors for them having trouble upon their return. It also is necessary to know how to tailor our approaches to treating these service people based on their gender. *** Dear Dr. Brothers: My family recently was put in the position of having to make a very difficult end-of-life medical decision on behalf of my elderly mother-in-law. We spent a lot of time talking this over with our doctor, but in the end, the decision was left up to us. Since this time, although I know we made the right decision, I can’t help feeling guilty. Is there anything that we or our doctors could have done, to ease my guilt at this point? — M.T. Dear M.T.: These kinds of decisions are never easy, and if you were able to make them with no negative feelings, that wouldn’t necessarily be emotionally healthy for you. If you’re sure you made the right decision in the end, then there should be little reason for you to feel guilty about your actions. By giving you the final say in this kind of decision, your doctor was giving you the knowledge and experience base that you needed to make an informed decision, empowering you to do what you felt was best. While this can feel like it lays the blame on you, it is an effective way to make sure that you are convinced that the right action was taken. A recent study in the Journal of Consumer Research investigated the feelings of people put in a similar situation of making life-and-death medical decisions with the guidance of medical professionals. This study found that when family members were given the final say in these decisions, they were, like you, confident that the right decision had been made, but they also experienced more negative emotions surrounding the decision than those people whose doctors made the final decision for them. The thing to remember is that you can work through your guilt and grief, and you should be confident in your ability to lead your family toward the right decisions.

The day activities for the visiting groups was planned by Racine Mayor Scott Hill, Albert Proffitt and Kathryn Hart and provided through the generosity of Lisko Amusement Co. of Lowellville, Sam Hatcher of Gatling, LLC of Racine, Albert Proffitt of AP Welding, and Pat Barnett of Shoneys of Ripley, W.Va. Lisko provided free rides and games for the group, Shoney Bear assisted by Pat Barnett gave each student and adult a water bottle, candy and coupons for their families, and Welding and Gatling presented each one with a check. Pictures of the activities were taken by Barnett and Proffitt and presented to Kay Davis, director Carleton School. Barnett said the activity “put a sparkle in the children’s eyes and laughter in their voices, and brought happiness to the teachers and assistants there with them.” (Above) Shoney Bear greets Lisa Montgomery, front, and Joan Hart, of Meigs Industries at Racine’s Party in the Park.

The 2011 graduates of the diagnostic medical sonography general program are Kathy Brumfield, Cassie Hudson, Lindsey Jeffers, Sarah Marshall, Erin McCullough, Allison Richie, Amy Rowles, Mikayla Shamblin and Elizabeth Tuttle. The 2011 graduates of the diagnostic medical sonography cardiovascular program are Joe Dawson, Anna Driggs, Charity Exline, Mara Howell, Ryan Leslie, Katie Matthews, Christopher Moss, Jamey Sexton, Eric Thomas and Brittany Williams. All of the students received their pins during the ceremony. Students who earned their bach- elor’s degrees include Mara Howell and Sarah Marshall. Stephanie Saunders, director of the program, said that the graduates of the program have the opportunity to move into jobs in the region and around the country. Graduates are also prepared to continue their academic careers and earn further degrees that will help them in their careers. She added that the students have already accomplished a great deal by graduating and explained that they worked very hard in the program. “Since June 7, 2010, these students have spent approximately 420 hours in the classroom and 950 hours in clinicals alone. This is not including all of the hours spent studying or the hours spent driving to and from Rio Grande and to and from their clinical sites,” Saunders said. “The classroom hours and clinical hours when added together allow enough time to drive across the United States and back 20 times! These students are to be commended for the time and effort that they put forth to see this dream of theirs through.” Saunders is very proud of the graduates and said they will do very well in their careers.

(AP) — With chronically ill West Virginians accounting for at least threefourths of health spending in the state, coordinating their care can do much to ease the rise in such costs, an Emory University professor told a House-Senate committee studying the issue Tuesday. Kenneth Thorpe, chair of Emory’s Rollins School of Public Health, also recommended expanding a diet, exercise and lifestyle program that he said has prevented adult-onset diabetes and can provide similar results against other chronic illnesses. “Both of these things are important capacity-building investments that I think at the end of the day are going to prove to have very substantial dividends,” Thorpe told the Joint Committee on Health. The Legislature and the governor’s office hired Thorpe to review health care spending in West Virginia. Around 17 percent of residents are covered by Medicaid, the state-federal health care program for the poor and disabled. Only 11 states have a higher percentage of residents on Medicaid, according to the latest federal figures. With medical inflation increasing faster than other forms of inflation, rising Medicaid costs are a key reason behind state budget growth. But at least half of the people who rely on Medicaid receive no help managing their care, Thorpe said. That leads to unnecessary visits to emergency rooms, otherwise preventable stays or return trips to the hospital, and similarly needless drains on the health care system, he said. Thorpe offered a dour picture of the typical chronically ill West Virginian: an overweight adult with diabetes, hypertension, bad cholesterol, asthma, back problems, pulmonary disease and depression. “They’re probably seeing a couple of physicians, a couple of specialists and are on 10 to 15 medications,” Thorpe said. Some of the state’s community clinics already have teams of doctors, nurses, pharmacists and other professionals who help these people manage their prescriptions and stay out of the hospital. Studies show that this approach works, he said. “What we’ve seen from the data is that quality improves and costs go down,” he told lawmakers. “We’ll actually save money in the program by doing this.” West Virginia can apply to amend its Medicaid plan to expand such teams statewide, and the federal government would cover 90 percent of the resulting costs, Thorpe said. These teams also create jobs by requiring more health carerelated positions, while increasing need for training programs at the state’s technical and community colleges, he said. Thorpe said West Virginia’s share of obese adults and children has more than doubled since the mid-1980s, contributing greatly to the prevalence of chronic illness. The resulting rise in adultonset or Type 2 diabetes alone accounts for 10 percent of the growth in health care spending, Thorpe said. Thorpe noted that state health officials recently landed a $1.8 million federal grant to promote the diabetes prevention plan. While more funding is needed, this plan greatly cuts a person’s likelihood of ending up with diabetes even with modest weight loss, he said. West Virginia should embrace both recommendations before the federal health care overhaul adds an estimated 170,000 people to its Medicaid rolls, Thorpe said. He added that these proposals can also benefit Medicare, which offers no coordinated care, as well as the private insurers. Thorpe said lawmakers otherwise face cutting Medicaid services or payments to providers to address the rising costs. “If you continue to cut payment rates to hospitals, that puts pressure on the cost of private health insurance,” Thorpe said. “Hospitals are going to look for ways to offset those cuts to the Medicaid program by increasing prices to privately insured patients. So I think that this investment is critical, and to have it done as thoughtfully and expeditiously as possible and engage as many individuals in the Medicaid program as we can.” �Opinion The Daily Sentinel Fix the broken bail bond system By Timothy Murray Every day in America, half a million people sit in local jails awaiting trial. They are there because they can’t afford to make bail. Two of every three of these people are charged with nonviolent offenses and are simply waiting to face their accusers. Meanwhile, well-publicized and well-off defendants like former International Monetary Fund head Dominique Strauss-Kahn can make bail easily, no matter how high, and are released before court action. In effect, they have purchased their freedom until their trial begins. The cost to local taxpayers to feed and house those who can’t make bail is $9 billion a year. We could save those dollars, ease prison overcrowding and bring more justice to the entire system with some relatively simple reforms. Nearly 50 years ago, thenAttorney General Robert F. Kennedy convened the country’s first national conference on this issue, describing the pretrial justice and bail system in America as “unsafe, unfair and ineffective.” Unfortunate- ly, that description remains accurate today. This outdated and dangerous system only benefits the special-interest, for-profit bail bond industry. It favors those who have the money to obtain bail, regardless of how dangerous those people are. Recently a group of prestigious criminal justice organizations, together with the Office of Justice Programs at the U.S. Department of Justice, convened another national meeting on pretrial justice and bail reform. The 2011 conference examined the nation’s progress toward a fair, safe and accountable system and sought to outline proven solutions. States like Illinois and Kentucky banned for-profit bail bonds decades ago. Instead, they substituted a system that relies on family and community supervision for those charged with nonviolent offenses. This includes frequent contact with a supervising officer, mandatory assessments for substance abuse, and mental health and drug testing. The reforms also included simple court reminder programs so that nearly ev- eryone – 92 percent of those awaiting trial in Kentucky — shows up in court to face their charges. We need to fix the unjust pretrial system in which dangerous criminals who happen to be wealthy can purchase their freedom while nonviolent offenders must remain behind bars. We must move to a system based on danger to the public, not dollars. Judges must be empowered with the best possible tools to determine who should be held and who can be released with appropriate supervision pending trial. Our local jails are increasingly overcrowded, at tremendous cost to our alreadystrapped local governments. Sensible reforms of state and local pretrial justice procedures should focus on safety while containing costs to the taxpayer. Murray is executive director of the Pretrial Justice Institute which is the nation’s only nonprofit organization dedicated to ensuring informed pretrial decision making for safe communities through technical assistance, training and advocacy. Anticipating the fall season Rep. John Carey Ohio 87th House District There are lots of things happening both behind the scenes and on the main stage here in Ohio, and I would like to take some time to give you an update. In recent times, Home First has helped many seniors stay in their homes, receive the most appropriate care, and save the state money. Likewise, there are also people who are in need of care due to severe disabilities, and they might be able to be served more cost effectively in their own homes. The recently passed budget also allows for this group to participate in Home First. While the particular rules are still being written for this provision, I am confident that this will be a viable option for certain disabled Ohioans. Of course, there will always be a need for nursing home care, but with the aging population, the longer we can postpone nursing home level of care, the better for the individual and taxpayer. In local news, the groundbreaking for Lake Hope State Park Lodge was held last month. Memorably, there were residents of Hungary present who visit the lodge every year. They spoke about how much they treasure Lake Hope and look forward to the rebuilding of the lodge. Tourism is an important industry in Ohio, especially in our area, and state parks are a crucial part of that economy. I am happy to announce that ODNR has identified the money to replace the Lake Alma pedestrian bridge to the island. The bridge is an enduring landmark in Vinton and Jackson counties, and this decision by ODNR points out Ohio’s commitment to our state parks. Moving into the fall season, September has already started as a busy month. The Governor Kasich recently named those who will be serving on the board of JobsOhio, and I appreciate he named Larry Kidd, from Jackson County, to represent the Appalachian region. I am sure Larry will do a good job and wish him and the JobsOhio board much success. When the House reconvenes this month, the number one issue will be redistricting. Currently, some hearings are being held throughout the state on this topic. As such, a great deal of speculation has been circulating, but we do not have much concrete information yet on the redistricting plan. The redistricting process takes place every 10 years after the decennial census, and this time around, it is especially significant because Ohio is losing two congressional seats due to population gains elsewhere. Our area grew by a small amount, and I do not anticipate a lot of change in state representative and state senate districts, but only time will tell for sure. Overall, it will be a difficult process, particularly the business of remapping the congressional districts. I hope that this update finds you in good spirits as we say goodbye to summer and greet the crisp, cold air. Most of all, I want to ensure that you and your family are informed of all the developments in Ohio that affect our community. I wish you and your family a happy autumn and look forward to my next chance to fill you in on what’s new in the Buckeye state. Rep. Carey may be reached by calling (614) 466-1366, e-mailing District87@ohr.state. oh.us, or writing to State Rep. John Carey, 77 South High Street, Columbus, Ohio, 43215.

Silver presented evidence in his October 7 New York Times piece that after each major confrontation with police American media increased the number of articles devoted to the movement. For example, when nonviolent Occupy Wall Street protestors were maced, news stories jumped. When more than 700 were arrested in a nonviolent march across the Brooklyn Bridge, the number of news articles surged nearly 400 percent. Silver’s analysis supports what is already known about the dynamics of nonviolent action, and also supports a long-held perception among members of the American peace community that news outlets are obsessed with violence to the exclusion of other worthy events. However, you would not likely know this from reading about the protests in most major publications. When nonviolent activists are repressed by force—even when they are breaking the law—public opinion tends to turn in their favor. Nonviolent activists are more likely to be thought of as “reasonable people” than are violent activists, who are perceived as extremist and threat to public safety. Reasonable people attract allies, sympathy and material support. Extremists attract repression and social isolation. Gene Sharp, the Harvard scholar of nonviolence, coined this dynamic “political ju-jitsu,” because the force that the opponent uses to squash the movement tends to backfire by attracting more support for that movement. There are diverse examples of this dynamic. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s 1963 Children’s Crusade in Birmingham, Alabama knowingly put unarmed school children out into the streets to face police dogs and fire hoses. The images of that confrontation between a nonviolent community seeking justice and the police were branded upon our national consciousness and led to an expansion of public support for Civil Rights. The injustice of systemic violence against African Americans already existed, but the issue was not thrust into public debate until it was laid naked by violent repression of the nonviolent movement. A second example: Thousands of mostly working and middle class Christians waged a massive sit-in campaign between 1987 and 1990 to promote an anti-abortion agenda. The campaign culminated in a nationally organized multiyear wave of nonviolent blockades of medical clinics. In 1988 alone there were 188 nonviolent clinic blockades in which more than 11,000 people were voluntarily arrested. The strategic logic was to endure mass arrests to bring attention to the pro-life movement through the media. The approach more or less worked until new laws and legal action by women’s organizations made blockading a medical clinic too costly to bear. Anti-abortion violence Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances. The First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution Letters to the Editor Letters to the editor should be limited to 300 words. All letters are subject to editing, must be signed and include address and telephone number. No unsigned letters will be published. Letters should be in good taste, addressing issues, not personalities. “Thank You” letters will not be accepted for publication. increased after the new laws took effect and the movement found itself increasingly isolated. Public intellectuals in the American peace community have known about these dynamics for years, including the propensity for American media to fixate on violence and confrontation. Elise Boulding, a founding matriarch of women’s studies and a pioneer in the American peace community, articulated the bias toward violence and confrontation in her seminal work Cultures of Peace: The Hidden Side of History. She understood the American fixation with violence to be an expression of a male dominated society. In the case of some movements, this fixation has been exploited to advance public knowledge of key issues. The central deciding factor in how these confrontations are understood by the public, however, is the degree to which the movement expresses and maintains nonviolent discipline. So far the Wall Street occupation and its satellite demonstrations in hundreds of cities throughout the U.S. and Canada have largely expressed and maintained nonviolent discipline. Small episodes of violence and property destruction have been damaging to the movement as a whole, but they do not fully capture the spirit and intention of the protests. Organic social movements –like churches and political parties –sometimes attract fringe characters, but the presence of these fringe characters and their sometimes-irresponsible behavior do not define the work of thousands of others. As Robert Borosage has written, what the Occupy movement lacks in measurable policy objectives and talking points it more than makes up for with moral clarity. There is a pervasive sense that the true meaning of the bank bailout, high corporate profits, partisan political paralysis, the mortgage crisis and long-term unemployment is that America has lost its moral direction. As long as these fundamentally moral failures persist, and as long as the Occupy demonstrations remain committed to nonviolent direct action, the movement will likely continue to grow. What is less certain, however, is whether American mainstream media will take upon themselves the more useful tasks of analyzing these underlying moral failures and of providing a fair hearing to the people most damaged by the economy. So far, media coverage tends to focus on dramatic encounters and confrontation without going deeper into the underlying causes or dynamics. America needs greater depth of insight by media into the present crisis. It has happened before that peace and social justice scholars –expert analysts of the present crisis –have informed and deepened public debate through mass media. Given the naked failures of the generals, politicians and economists to understand and explain the world over the past ten years, it seems like a good time for all media organizations to make space for peace and justice scholars on the front pages and in news reports and analysis.

Bob McDonald, who is chairman of the world’s largest consumer products maker, as well as its chief executive, said at its annual meeting that P&G has had solid growth despite economic weakness in the United States and other developed countries. He also said costs for raw materials rose nearly $2 billion more than expected in the past year. The maker of Pampers diapers, Tide detergent and Gillette shavers still reported higher profit and increased its dividend as its net sales rose 5 percent to $82.6 billion. “It was good, but not yet great,” McDonald said. “We don’t settle for good in this company.” P&G’s goals for the fiscal year that began July 1 include keeping sales and profit growing and improving productivity throughout the company. “We know we have work left to do to deliver the growth you expect from P&G,” he told shareholders. The company has projected earnings of $4.17 to $4.33 per share for the year. Shareholder Larry Williams, a retired P&G employee, said he’d like to see more growth in the company’s shares. “The stock has been basi- Police: Ohio woman drives off in officer’s car COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Police say a woman being arrested for alleged prostitution in Ohio managed to get in the driver’s seat of an unmarked police cruiser and drive off. Columbus police say 22-year-old Morgan Nelson was found nearly seven hours later sleeping in the car at a rest area along Interstate-71 about 25 miles away . Local news media report the undercover officer’s badge, cell phone and police radios were in the car when the woman drove away at about 2 a.m. Monday. Authorities tracked the car using the phone’s signal. The Highway Patrol says officers woke Nelson upon finding her, and broke a window when she refused to exit the car. Nelson, of Columbus, is jailed awaiting Tuesday arraignment on aggravated robbery and other charges. No attorney is listed in court records. Ohio school vandals cause extensive damage PLUMWOOD, Ohio (AP) — A central Ohio school attacked by very thorough vandals has been forced to relocate to a church to hold classes for its roughly 300 students. The Columbus Dispatch reports Monroe Elementary School in Plumwood was broken into over the weekend. Windows and computers were smashed, furniture was broken, food was ruined and library bookcases were toppled like dominoes. Lt. John Swaney with the Madison County sheriff’s office says it will take a lot of time, money and effort to put the school 23 miles west of Columbus back together. Swaney says given the extent of the damage, investigators don’t think they’re looking for elementary school kids as suspects. The school’s students on Tuesday were attending a second day of classes at Sharon Mennonite Church in nearby Plain City. Fire destroys luxury lodge in southeast Ohio ROCKBRIDGE, Ohio (AP) — Fire has destroyed a luxury lodge in cally flat. I’m hoping the future is brighter,” he said outside the meeting Tuesday. P&G shares fell 22 cents Tuesday to close at $64.58. They’ve traded in a range of $57.56 to $67.72 the past year. Investors overwhelmingly rejected shareholder proposals that would have required the company to say what political contributions it plans to make and to stop testing its pet foods with dogs and cats that it keeps in labs. Boston-based Northstar Asset Management, which promotes “socially responsible investing,” wanted P&G to tell shareholders its plans for contributions that will be made each year by Ohio Briefs southeast Ohio’s scenic Hocking Hills region. Authorities suspect an electrical problem started Sunday’s fire that spread quickly through Eagle Wings Lodge in Rockbridge. The Logan Daily News reports firefighters who responded from neighboring Laurelville drew water from a pond on the property to fight the flames but were unable to save the wooden building. The lodge’s owner was inside at the time the fire broke out but was unhurt. Eagle Wings Lodge could accommodate up to 20 guests its seven bedrooms. It also featured a home theater system, a pair of nine-foot stone fireplaces and a hot tub with room for 10. The fire did not damage an accompanying luxury tree house equipped with a mini fridge and microwave. Ohio school’s huge Indian statue now topless AKRON, Ohio (AP) — The massive wooden Indian chief outside an Ohio school is now without his headdress, and a more extensive makeover may be coming. Crews used a crane on Monday to remove the solid oak feathers from atop the “Chief Rotaynah” statue at Resnik Elementary in Akron. School officials found their concerns about the safety of the 3,000-pound, 16-foot headpiece were justified. The Akron Beacon Journal reports Monday’s operation revealed that water and termite damage left the feathers held in place by a chunk of wood only the size of a shoe’s heel. The entire statue stands 36 feet tall and was carved by Florida-based artist Peter Wolf Toth in 1985. If school officials decide it can’t be saved, Toth has suggested he could carve another. Some stolen Ohio news boxes are recovered MASSILLON, Ohio (AP) — Several newspaper vending boxes missing in a wave of thefts in northeast Ohio have been found dumped in a sand and gravel pit. The Repository newspaper of Canton reports it appeared the coin boxes had been tampered with on the 19 news racks discovered Monday at Massillon (MA’-sih-luhn) Materials. The vending boxes were from the Repository, The Independent of Mas- the corporation and its political action committee, and to allow an advisory shareholder vote on the donations. Northstar president Julie Goodridge said that, in the past, contributions have gone to candidates who opposed same-sex marriage and other gay rights causes in apparent contradiction with P&G’s company policy against discrimination. McDonald said such contributions were directed at business issues, not social. He said the company opposed limiting itself as proposed, but he promised to look closely at future contributions. People for Ethical Treatment of Animals wants P&G to stop keeping dogs and cats in labs sillon and the Akron Beacon Journal. The Repository and The Independent, which are sister publications, say 40 of their boxes have been stolen in the last two months. They’ve offered a $500 reward for information. Suspect goes on trial in Ohio again in ‘67 killing TOLEDO, Ohio (AP) — A man accused of killing an Ohio schoolgirl in 1967 is going on trial again just weeks after a jury couldn’t come up with a verdict during his first trial. Selection of a new jury got under way Tuesday in Toledo and is expected to take several days. Robert Bowman is accused of holding the 14-year-old schoolgirl captive for days in his basement before killing her and dumping her body in Michigan. Authorities say new DNA evidence tied Bowman to the crime. Bowman is now 75 and has pleaded not guilty to murder. He had been a successful businessman before disappearing in the 1980s into a life on the streets in Florida and California. Jurors failed to reach a required unanimous verdict in August after several weeks of testimony. Officials say Ohio school students sickened by odor TRENTON, Ohio (AP) — Emergency officials say an odor that sickened nearly 50 students at southwest Ohio middle school came from an herbicide sprayed on a nearby field. Butler County’s Emergency Management Agency Director Jeff Galloway says the chemical is an irritant when inhaled but did not create a lifethreatening situation. He says at least six students from Edgewood Middle School near Trenton were taken to a hospital for evaluation after complaining of headaches and dizziness. He doesn’t believe there were any serious effects. School officials did not return calls. Emergency crews evacuated two classrooms around 11 a.m. and later the rest of the school. Galloway says students were moved to the adjacent high school and allowed to return after about four hours. He says the fumes entered the classrooms through windows. to test its Iams brand pet foods. McDonald said P&G has sharply reduced such testing and most Iams testing is now done on pets in homes. But he said some lab testing is still needed to ensure product safety and quality and enable monitoring of animal reactions to new products. Shareholders re-elected P&G’s 11-member board. The company said director Meg Whitman offered to resign after she was named CEO of Hewlett-Packard Co. last month, but P&G officials asked her to stay on after determining that the relatively small amount of business P&G does with the technology company posed no conflict of interest. Youth facility sued in Ohio agrees to pay $400,000 COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — A juvenile detention facility in Ohio has agreed to pay about $400,000 and make policy changes to settle a 2010 class-action lawsuit that alleged harsh treatment, including inmates being regularly locked up for 23 hours a day and denied medical care and unrestrained recreation time. The Washington County Juvenile Court in Marietta and plaintiffs representing affected inmates asked a federal judge on Monday to approve the settlement. Court documents show individual inmates would receive from $40 to more than $11,000 for various forms of treatment, such as being held in cells for more than 24 hours without being released for school classes, being required to wear shackles during recreation or school time and being placed in a suicide gown without a mental health assessment. Al Gerhardstein, who represents inmates, said he’s hopeful payments can start early next year and commended the county for addressing concerns promptly and working to remedy problems at the center. Among changes the court has agreed to make are reducing the length of time inmates can be held in isolation, requiring non-emergency searches to be performed by same-gender staff, moving monitoring cameras to increase privacy around showers and toilets, appointing a medical director and allowing inmates unshackled recreation time. The county also will do away with community service projects in which inmates said they worked without pay at forprofit businesses, such as local farms or big box retailers such as Wal-Mart and Lowe’s, and parents will no longer be ordered to pay child support or social security benefits to the county. The court will consult with the University of Cincinnati on cognitive behavioral treatment, and a monitor will be appointed to oversee changes over the next year to 18 months A statement from the county says officials deny liability and believe the county could successfully defend itself against the complaints but chose to settle to limit costs and focus on serving delinquent youth and their families. The county noted that annual state audits have consistently said the center complies with Ohio standards but that it agreed to “make changes in some of its procedures beyond what the law requires” so the suit could be settled. “The Juvenile Center’s top priority has always been to ensure the safety, health, and rehabilitation of all of the juveniles placed in its care,” the statement said. Along with the inmate payments, the county will pay attorney fees and costs of $220,000. The center holds children between ages 12 and 18 who typically have committed low-level crimes such as drug possession, disorderly conduct or minor assault. It served about 60 youths in two treatment programs in 2009 and held about 85 in detention cells. Seven survive 20 hours at sea clinging to boat, cooler MARATHON, Fla. (AP) — Eight relatives had set out to fish in less-thanideal conditions off the Florida Keys. It was raining, seas topped 7 feet and winds were whipping up to 38 mph. Before they knew it, two waves hit, capsizing their anchored 22-foot boat and knocking them into the sea about 3 1/2 miles offshore Saturday. Seven, including a 4-year-old, survived by clinging to their capsized vessel and a small blue cooler for nearly 20 hours, suffering exhaustion, jellyfish stings and hypothermia. A 79-year-old woman, the matriarch of the group, was missing and presumed drowned. “When the will to live kicks in, human beings can do amazing things,” Coast Guard Petty Officer Nick Ameen said. The women grabbed the girl and the 2 ½-foot cooler. One of the men tried to rescue his mother, but she slipped through his grasp and disappeared into the water. The women said the boat turned over so quickly that there wasn’t time to grab life jackets for anyone except the child, said Kendra Graves, a seaman with the Coast Guard. Almost immediately, the two groups — the three women and girl, and the three men — drifted apart. Nearly a day later, they were rescued when a commercial fisherman spotted the men Sunday morning and alerted the Coast Guard, which found the women and the blue cooler several miles away in the warm waters. Those rescued were taken to a hospital with non-life-threatening injuries. Florida law requires children 6 or under on a boat 26 feet or less to wear a life jacket if the boat is moving. If the craft is anchored or docked, they don’t have to wear one. As the weather improved Sunday, fishing boat captain David Jensen headed out with customers to catch live bait. Off in the distance, he saw a large object floating in the water. As he turned the boat to get closer look, he saw a man waving. At first, he said, he thought there was only one person holding on to the sunken boat, its bow protruding just a few feet out of the water. When he got closer, he realized there were three men. “I tried to get them to swim to the boat, but they said they didn’t know how to swim,” Jensen said. “Then I had the mate throw them life jackets. One guy put on the life jacket and swam to the boat. The oth- er two guys wouldn’t get off the boat.” One of Jensen’s customers jumped in and swam over. He tied the boats together, and helped the other two men, one at a time, back to Jensen’s boat. “They were exhausted. One guy overnight had lost his mother,” Jensen said. “He was very visibly upset, which was a little tough because he was the one who spoke the best English.” Zaida San Jurjo Gonzalez died. Her son, Jorge Alejo Gonzalez, survived along with his wife, Tomasa Torres, the elderly woman’s daughter, Elena G. Gonzalez, and her boyfriend, Juglar Riveras. Also rescued were Jorge and Elena Gonzalez’s uncle, Jose Miguel De Armas, his wife, Yunisleidy Lima Tejada, and their 4-year-old daughter, Visit us online mydailysentinel.com Fabiana De Armas Lima. All are from South Florida. The other survivors’ ages ranged from 30 to 62. After the men were found shortly before 9 a.m., the fishermen called the Coast Guard, who found the women. The women were hanging on to the floating cooler and started waving and yelling for help when they saw the Coast Guard boat. All of the boaters were soon reunited, wrapped in blankets and treated for shock and hypothermia. “They were all pretty happy to see each other,” Graves said. It wasn’t clear if the boaters were aware of a small-craft advisory that had been posted early Saturday. “They shouldn’t have been out there,” said Florida Fish and Wildlife spokesman Robert Dube, whose agency is investigating. “It was nasty from the get-go.” Anderson McDaniel Funeral Home Adam McDaniel & James Anderson DIRECTORS Pet Cremation Available Middleport 992-5141 Pomeroy 992-5444 www.andersonmcdaniel.com �Wednesday, October 12, 2011 www.mydailysentinel.com The Daily Sentinel • Page A6 Ridenour’s Gas Service • Residential • Repair • Commercial • Sales & Service • Bulk & Bottled • Vented & Unvented Heaters • Home • Farm • Empire & Free Standing Fireplace • Industry (740) 985-3307 P.O.

Cady Gilmore added five points to the winning cause, while Morgan Wooldridge and Mary Waugh with two points.

Meigs posted team tallies of 47 kills, 43 assists and one block in the setback, but the guests also committed 34 unforced errors at the net while missing 13 serves.

The Ohio Valley Christian soccer team put up more of a fight in its rematch with Point Pleasant Monday night, but the visiting Black Knights still came away with a season sweep following a 2-1 non-conference triumph in Gallia County. Point Pleasant (11-7-0) knocked off the host Defenders (11-3-2) by a 4-0 count back on Sept. 23 at PPHS and also became the first team to earn a season sweep of OVCS. The Knights also won their ninth decision in their last 11 contests, while the hosts lost consecutive games for the first time this fall. Point Pleasant had the lone goal of the first half, as Nathan Hannum headed in a free kick in the 32nd minute for the 1-0 intermission advantage. Steven Porter gave Point a 2-0 cushion in the 57th minute after heading in a corner kick. Ohio Valley Christian cut the deficit in half in the 76th minute, as Scotty Wood scored on a rebound off of Point keeper Brady Reymond. Chance Burleson gained an assist on the play, as his initial shot ricocheted off of Reymond to the foot of Wood. The hosts, however, never came closer the rest of the way — allowing Point Pleasant to sneak away with the onegoal decision. Point Pleasant claimed a 22-11 advantage in shots on goal, and both teams had six corner kicks. Reymond made 10 saves in goal for the victors, while Pete Carman came up with 20 stops in the setback. NEW YORK (AP) — Two weeks of the NBA season are gone and more are in jeopardy because of what Commissioner David Stern calls “the gulf that separates us” in labor negotiations. Sticking to his deadline, Stern wiped out the first two weeks of the season — exactly 100 games — after more than seven hours of negotiations failed to produce a new labor deal and preserve the Nov. 1 season openers. The cancellations mark the NBA’s first work stoppage since the 1998-99 season was reduced to 50 games. Clashing more over the salary cap structure than economics — but still far apart on both — Stern said both sides are “very far apart on virtually all issues. … We just have a gulf that separates us. “With every day that goes by, I think we need to look at further reductions in what’s left of the season,” he added. Stern said last week that he would cancel the first two weeks of the season Monday without a new collective bargaining agreement to end the lockout. The two sides expect to remain in contact, but no additional formal talks have been scheduled. “I started out by saying I’m sorry to report, and I’m sad to report that we’ve canceled the first two weeks,” Stern said. “We certainly hoped it would never come to this. I think that both sides worked hard to get to a better solution. We think that we made very fair proposals. I’m sure the players think the same thing. But the gap is so significant that we just can’t bridge it at this time.” Union president Derek Fisher agreed, emphasizing that missing any games puts the season in jeopardy. He also stressed this was a lockout, not a strike, and that it was the owners’ decision not to be playing basketball. “This is not where we choose to be,” he said. “We’re not at a place where a fair deal can be reached with the NBA.” The cancellation includes all games scheduled to be played through Nov. 14, and affected arenas have been authorized to release dates for those dates. Based on last year’s average announced attendance leaguewide (just over 17,300 per game) and the average ticket cost last season, those now-can- celed 100 games represent nearly $83 million in lost ticket sales — before the first concession or souvenir is sold and before the first car pays to park. Season-ticket holders, however, get refunds, plus interest, for all canceled games. Though disappointing to both sides and especially to fans, the result isn’t a complete surprise. The union had warned players for years to save their money, knowing a work stoppage seemed likely, and executive director Billy Hunter repeated that players won’t cave once they start missing pay checks next month. “I think it goes back to a comment that David made to me several years ago when he said, ‘Look, this is what my owners have to have.’ And I said, ‘The only way you’re going to get that is if you’re prepared to lock us out for a year or two, and (this) indicated to me that they’re willing to do it,” Hunter said. “So my belief, my contention is that everything he’s done has kind of demonstrated that he’s following that script.” With another work stoppage, the NBA risks alienating a fan base that sent the league’s revenues and TV ratings soaring during the 2010-11 season. And the cost of cancellations would be staggering. Deputy Commissioner Adam Silver said the league would lose hundreds of millions of dollars; Hunter estimated players’ losses at $350 million for each month they were locked out. Now ushers, security personnel, parking lot attendants, concession workers, restaurant employees and others all stand to have their hours cut or join the country’s 14 million unemployed. A few teams also have either trimmed their staffs or instituted sharp pay cuts — some did that as the lockout began — and more layoffs could be forthcoming. Hunter said he didn’t think the full season was in jeopardy yet and stressed it would be a mistake for the NBA to risk it coming off a season when revenues and TV ratings soared. “I think it would be foolish for them to kill the season, and we’re coming off the best season in the history of the NBA and I’m not so sure in this kind of economy that if there is a protracted lockout whether the league will recover,” he said. “It took us a while to recover from the ‘98 lockout, and I think it will take us even longer to recover this time around.” For the second straight day the sides focused on system issues instead of the division of revenue split. Stern rattled off concessions the league had made there, allowing guaranteed contracts, not rolling back salaries and giving players an option to shorten the deal. Players say they moved there, too, offering to reduce the value of the midlevel exception to $5 million for a maximum of four years, and reducing contract lengths to five years for players re-signing with their own teams to four years for changing teams. The league wants those, currently six and five, down to four and three. Insisting it needs a system that allows all teams to compete no matter the market size, Stern and Silver said the sides are still apart on annual raises for players and the luxury tax for teams. Players counter that the league’s idea of making the luxury tax more severe would have acted as hard cap, scaring too many teams from spending above the cap level. “We’re surprised that’s what still separates us,” Silver said. “We would think that the players in this league would also want a system in which players on every team, if they play for well imagined teams, are on equal footing. I think it’ll create a better game, and we think it’ll create for hope for more fans in more community and it’ll ultimately lead to more interest in our game.” Stern said the players still proposed they get 53 percent of revenues, whereas the league proposed they get 47 percent. The two sides had discussed a 50-50 split last week, but only in informal discussions, and given each BRI point was worth roughly $40 million last season, the gap between 3 points and 6 points is about $120 million in the first year of a deal. Meeting Monday were: Stern, Silver, owners Peter Holt of San Antonio, Glen Taylor of Minnesota and James Dolan of New York, senior vice president and deputy general counsel Dan Rube, plus Hunter, Fisher of the Lakers and vice president Maurice Evans of the Wizards, and attorneys Jeffrey Kessler and Ron Klempner. Players reacted quickly — and in some cases, strongly — on Twitter within minutes of the cancelations being announced. Miami guard Dwyane Wade said the situation “just got real” after he learned the first two weeks are now gone, then lashed out at Stern’s comments in a second post by saying they hurt employees at arenas around the league, other businesses that thrive off NBA business and the league’s fans in general. Minnesota rookie-to-be Derrick Williams, the No. 2 pick in this year’s draft, tweeted that going overseas may now be an option for him. The success of last season, on the court, at the box office and in the headlines, convinced many that the sides would never reach this stalemate. But small-market owners were hardened after watching LeBron James leave Cleveland for Miami, Amare Stoudemire bolt Phoenix for New York, and Carmelo Anthony later use his impending free agency as leverage to secure a trade from Denver to the Knicks. They wanted changes that would allow them to hold onto their superstars and compete for titles with the big-spending teams from Los Angeles, Boston and Dallas who have gobbled up the last four championships. As the lockout drags on, Stern’s legacy as one of sports’ best commissioners is weakened. He turned 69 last month, and although he hasn’t said when he will retire, he did say this will be his last CBA negotiation after nearly 28 years running the league. He has insisted all along he wouldn’t worry about the damage to his reputation and that his only concern would be getting the deal his owners need. It’s uncertain when that will be. The sides didn’t agree until Jan. 6 in 1999, just before the deadline for canceling that entire season. The league ended up with a 50-game schedule, often plagued by poor play as teams were forced to fit too many games into too small of a window. They could keep meeting now and agree to a deal much sooner this time. Or perhaps the divide is still too great and they will decide there’s no reason to rush back to the table. ___ Follow Brian Mahoney on Twitter: http://www. twitter.com/Briancmahoney Pryor’s suspension Browns RB Hillis doubting future with team ends after 5 games ALAMEDA, Calif. (AP) — Oakland Raiders quarterback Terrelle Pryor has completed his five-game suspension and is now eligible to practice with the team. Pryor had to serve the suspension at the start of his rookie season when he was allowed to participate in the supplemental draft. Pryor left Ohio State instead of serving a five-game ban after being involved in a cash-for-memorablia scandal that has put the Buckeyes under NCAA investigation. Pryor was selected by the Raiders in the third round of the supplemental draft Aug. 22. He has not been allowed to practice with his team since the end of preseason, but has been attending meetings and doing individual drills. The Raiders do not have to make a corresponding move immediately because of a one-game roster exemption. Pleasant Valley Hospital - Express Care Suite 116 2520 Valley Drive Point Pleasant, WV 25550 304-675-4340 www.pvalley.org Visit us at www.mydailysentinel.com BEREA, Ohio (AP) — Peyton Hillis wanted to retire with the Browns. Now, he’s wondering and worrying if he has a future in Cleveland beyond the next 12 games. Hillis, whose stalled negotiations with the team on a contract extension have spawned weeks of analysis, conjecture and rumor, said Monday he has no regrets about sitting out the Sept. 25 game against Miami with strep throat, a decision — reached with the advice of his agent — that fueled reports he missed the game to protest not getting a new deal. Hillis is in the final year of his rookie deal and will make a base salary of $600,000 this season. As for next season, he beginning to doubt he’ll be around. “Whenever something’s not set in stone, then I guess anything is possible, which means your career’s not here,” he said. “So, yeah, that definitely worries me.” The Browns returned from their bye week with the Hillis matter remaining a hot topic. Following the team’s first practice since last Wednesday, Hillis stood in the middle of Cleveland’s locker room with his arms folded across his chest for more than 10 minutes answering questions about his contract. Hillis could have ended the controversy. Instead, it lingers. Last week, agent Kennard McGuire told The Associated Press that he cautioned his client not to play against the Dolphins for fear Hillis had been weakened by the illness and could have jeopardized his career by playing and getting hurt. Hillis said he considered McGuire’s guidance before deciding it was best to sit out. “It was his recommendation, but it was ultimately my choice in the end,” Hillis said. “We both knew how sick I was and how bad it could be for the team and for myself if I had tried to play, so it wasn’t just my agent’s decision. It was mine also and he was just looking out for me.” Hillis said without McGuire’s counsel he might have tried to play. “I am stubborn and I am hardheaded,” he said. “By the way I was feeling, I just needed somebody else’s opinion.” Hillis’ absence from the Browns’ win over the Dolphins was followed by an ESPN report, citing unidentified sources, that some unnamed players in Cleveland’s locker room felt his contract situation may have been a factor in him skipping the game. Hillis said he was not disturbed by the report and that he and McGuire decided to keep the story fresh in the media because he wants to remain a Brown. McGuire also told the AP that Hillis has been affected by the ongoing contract talks and feels “underappreciated” in Cleveland. Hillis downplayed being distracted by his uncertain future in Cleveland, but acknowledged he wishes his contract situation could be resolved. “You feel unappreciated because you want to get something done and nothing has gotten done at this point,” said Hillis, who rushed for nearly 1,200 yards and 11 touchdowns last season. “You don’t know the ultimate feelings in the end of what’s going on up top (in the front office). You take it with a grain of salt and you keep moving on.” Hillis insists the talks aren’t putting any extra pressure on him to perform. “I wouldn’t say weighing on me. I’d rather say just being patient,” he said. “I’ve got to be patient and ultimately the decision’s not up to me. You’ve got to go out there and play your best. It’s about what you do on the football field.” Part of Hillis’ frustration stems from the Browns taking care of other players. The team has signed several of its young “core” to extensions, and to this point, Hillis isn’t one of them. In the past two months, Pro Bowl offensive tackle Joe Thomas, tight end Evan Moore, defensive tackle Ahtyba Rubin and linebacker Chris Gocong have received new deals. Team president Mike Holmgren recently said the Browns were “trying like crazy” to sign Hillis, a comment that may have led to unrealistic expectations around the talks. McGuire has remained in “close contact” with the Browns throughout the season, but the sides remain apart. Hillis said he doesn’t know where things stand at the moment and his only focus is getting ready for Sunday’s game against the Oakland Raiders. “Perception is reality,” he said. “People take what they want to from things. I feel I play hard every time I step on the field. I think everyone can see that I give my full effort, so whatever people think that’s their opinion, but it really doesn’t affect me.” Although Hillis’ situation has been a constant around the team, Moore said it’s not a distraction. He believes it will all go away. “Peyton and those guys upstairs will get the situation handled the right way,” Moore said. “It’s definitely not for us to concern ourselves with. If we start to get involved with that, we can quickly be told to keep our mouths shut and go back to work. We all have a job to do and that’s definitely not our job to worry about that. “Peyton will be fine. They’ll get that thing worked out.” �Wednesday, October 12, 2011 W Comics ednesday, OctOber 12, 2011 BLONDIE BEETLE BAILEY FUNKY WINKERBEAN HAGAR THE HORRIBLE HI & LOIS www.mydailysentinel.com The Daily Sentinel • Page B3 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 zITS THE FAMILY CIRCUS Bil Keane DENNIS THE MENACE Hank Ketchum Jerry Scott and Jim Borgman CONCEPTIS SUDOKU by Dave Green HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Wednesday, Oct. 12, 2011: This year you have the ability to draw in others, whether as a group or individually. With this high level of charisma, you can manifest nearly any goal you want. Your imagination spins quite a tune. If you are single, you have no excuse not to develop a relationship, other than having too many choices. If you are attached, the two of you have an opportunity to relate far more closely. In general, allow others to state an issue but relate it intensely. Your openness is much admired. TAURUS helps you to be more practical. The Stars Show the Kind of Day You’ll Have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult ARIES (March 21-April 19) HHHH Today is a mixed bag, no matter how vigorous or creative you might be. In the late afternoon, eye a financial change much more openly. Clearly, you and another person have very different ideas about an investment. Tonight: Your treat. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHH Don’t worry if you need to take a backseat or deal with a situation differently. Your perspective changes radically, as you and someone seem to be at odds. Listen to why this person thinks the way he or she does. Play with his or her ideas, as well as your own. Tonight: Feeling great. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHHH Use the daylight hours to move on a key interest or head in a new direction. You could discover just how awkward a friend or associate might feel. Stay on top of your decisions, knowing full well the end result. Tonight: Play it low-key. CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHH You might be more exposed than you would like. Understanding evolves if you relax and are prepared for the next phase of a project. You might need to explain your logic and why you are pursuing a specific course. Tonight: Where the crowds are. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHHH You will want to handle your responsibilities but bypass any extra ones. Several associates inspire you with their ideas. Once more, you decide to hold off. You will want to mull over this issue during the next few weeks. Tonight: A must appearance. Horoscope VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHHHH Reach out for others at a distance. You can straighten out a problem late this afternoon, after you rethink everyone’s reactions. When you understand where others are coming from, you can find a mutually acceptable solution. Tonight: Have an imaginative brainstorming session. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHHHH Be willing to express your concerns and ideas. Someone responds in kind. Together you not only discover how much you have in common but also how you can come up with even better solutions. Tonight: Talk over dinner. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHHH Defer to another person, understanding what will happen if you let go and relax. A meeting could be the source of many new ideas and could give birth to a project. The more comfortable others are, the better the results will be. Tonight: Let go and relax. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHH Settle in and get as much work done as possible. You could get a visit or a call that carries a very special message with it. You might want to escape the situation or wherever you are to contact a special person. Tonight: Happily head home. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHHHH Others want to tap into your unusual creativity. Even when using your imagination, you harness any idea with practical application. You see both simultaneously. Encourage others to process things as you do. Tonight: Go for fun and games. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHH You might want to retreat some. Tap into some of your imaginative flights of fancy. Whether looking to a new idea to revitalize your life or thinking of how to spend more time working at home, you enjoy the slow pace. Tonight: Order in. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHHHH Listen to news with a grain of salt. Recognize an element of confusion surrounding a talk. Keep putting out your ideas. Return calls; schedule meetings. A boss enjoys tapping into your suggestions. Tonight: Catch up on a friend’s news. Jacqueline Bigar is on the Internet at www.jacquelinebigar.com.

Instead of hanging their heads, the Horned Frogs — who have since been a part of three conferences — kept building athletic programs and upgrading facilities, culminating in a Rose Bowl victory to cap off a perfect 2010 season. Then the Big 12 finally came a’ calling. TCU’s board of trustees unanimously voted Monday to accept the Big 12’s invitation to join, a move athletic director Chris Del Conte compared to arriving at “the promised land” in the wake of the university’s disappointments through the years. “This is living proof that dreams do come true,” Del Conte said Monday night, fighting back tears. “We worked so hard to be here.” Chancellor Victor Boschini Jr. made the expected announcement in front a packed room of more than 200 people. The move could provide some much-needed stability for the Big 12, which lost Nebraska (Big Ten) and Colorado (Pac-12) over the summer and will lose Texas A&M to the Southeastern Conference next year. Missouri is also exploring a move to the SEC. Without any further changes, adding TCU will give the conference 10 members going into next season. Interim Big 12 Commissioner Chuck Neinas told the crowd Monday that TCU has an outstanding record of academics as well as athletics. “Chancellor, TCU has traveled a long path, been to different places. Sir, I’d like to welcome you home,” Neinas said. TCU has a strong football background that includes cel- ebrated athletes from the 1930s, including Heisman Trophy winner Davey O’Brien and AllAmerican Sammy Baugh, who both played in the NFL. More recent alums include New York Jets running back LaDainian Tomlinson and Cincinnati Bengals rookie quarterback Andy Dalton. The Horned Frogs went 13-0 last season and also went undefeated in 2009 before losing to Boise State in the Fiesta Bowl. “It was a challenge winning the Rose Bowl … and there’s been a lot of people that told us we couldn’t do a lot of different things, and so we’re going to take it one step at a time,” football coach Gary Patterson said after the announcement. “It’s not going to be easy … but I do believe that if the Big 12 did not feel like we couldn’t be competitive in the league, then they wouldn’t have asked us.” TCU currently competes in the Mountain West Conference and Stoops fired after 1-5 start By John Marshall Associated Press Visit us online at mydailysentinel.com Arizona coach Mike Stoops had been given some leeway for last season’s collapse. He had, after all, led the Wildcats to three straight bowls for just the second time in school history. But when the losses continued to pile up this season, including one to a previously winless team, the latitude was gone. Arizona fired Stoops midway through his eighth season on Monday, ending a run that started off well before ending with a thud in the desert. “Coach Stoops did a lot of great things for the program, took over a very challenging situation and made us better,” Arizona athletic director Greg Byrne said. “I think we certainly want to thank him for all his efforts and staff efforts and appreciate everything he’s done for us, (but) I was concerned about the direction of the program and where we were going, and felt that needed to be addressed.” Defensive coordinator Tim Kish will take over on an interim basis for the rest of the season while the school searches for a new coach. Stoops joins New Mexico’s Mike Locksley as the only coaches of major college football programs to be fired since this season started. Known for his emotional sideline behavior, Stoops was the co-defensive coordinator on his brother Bob’s staff at Oklahoma when he was hired as Arizona’s head coach in 2004. After five seasons of building the program, Stoops seemed to have the Wildcats back among the top teams in the Pac-10, leading them to a pair of eight-win seasons and trips to the 2008 Las Vegas Bowl and the Holiday Bowl the next year. Arizona seemed poised to become one of the nation’s elite teams by cracking the top 10 and opening 7-1 last season, igniting hope that the Wildcats could end their run as the only Pac-10 school to not play in the Rose Bowl. Then things started to fall apart. The Wildcats lost their last five games, including a 36-10 blowout by Oklahoma State in the Alamo Bowl that came on the heels of a 35-0 rout by Nebraska in the Holiday Bowl the year before. Arizona opened up this season, the first as the reconfigured Pac-12, with a win over FCS Northern Arizona, then went into a slide, losing five straight. The latest was the big blow for Stoops. Unable to stop Oregon State’s offense, the Wildcats (1-5, 0-4 Pac12) lost to the previously winless Beavers 37-27 for their 10th straight loss to an FBS school. Stoops, 49, had 41-50 record at Arizona, including 27-38 in conference games. “When I took this job, I was hoping to be the first coach to lead this program to a Rose Bowl,” Stoops said in a statement issued by his agent, Neil Cornrich. “Although we fell short of that goal, we made significant progress, and our organization continues to strive for excellence.” Stoops’ contract ran through 2013 under an extension granted in 2008, and Byrne said the buyout for the remainder of it will be about $1.4 million. A national search for his replacement will be conducted while the team is run by Kish, but Byrne said any decisions aren’t expected to come until after the regular season. Arizona doesn’t play again until Oct. 20 against UCLA. University President Dr. Eugene Sander said by firing Stoops now, it would avoid speculation about the coach’s future that would have dogged the team the remainder of the season had he stayed on. Sander also said he consulted with the Arizona Board of Regents, and its chairman Fred DuVal “is fully in agreement with this decision.” “Decisions like this are never easy to make,” Sander said. “There’s always a great deal of heartache that goes along with these things, however I do believe that on behalf of university of Arizona football, this decision is absolutely necessary at this time.” The Wildcats feature one of the best quarterbacks in the country in senior Nick Foles, a projected first-round pick in the NFL draft, and a group of talented receivers. But Arizona had to rebuild its entire offensive line and has struggled to get much of anything going on the ground. The Wildcats also were hit hard by injuries, even before the season started, and struggled defensively, particularly during a brutal stretch of three consecutive games against teams ranked in the top 10 at the time — Oklahoma State, Stanford and Oregon. Arizona followed with another big offensive game against Southern California, but couldn’t stop the Trojans for its fourth straight loss. Things then bottomed out with the loss in Corvallis on Saturday, leading Byrne to tell Stoops on Monday that he had been let go. “It gives us a head start on the process of finding our new football coach,” Byrne said. “I believe strongly that you are, when you have an existing head coach, you need to be committed to that coach, at this point we decided this was an opportunity to start moving forward for the future.” While the decision to fire Stoops was tough, figuring out his interim replacement wasn’t. A 36-year veteran of coaching, Kish had been with Arizona for eight seasons and previously served as defensive coordinator for eight years with two Big Ten schools. The 57-yearold coach had been codefensive coordinator with Stoops’ brother Mark before assuming solo duties at the 2010 Alamo Bowl. “(He has) the longest stability with our staff, he had the longest tenure with our staff, made sense for a lot of aspects,” Byrne said. “He’s a good man, cares about the kids; he has strong integrity, is involved in everything we’re doing from recruiting and coaching, terminology across the board, (so we) felt he would give us the best stability for the remainder of the season.” ___ AP Sports Writer Bob Baum in Phoenix and freelance writer Sarah Trotto in Tucson, Ariz., contributed to this story. was set to join the Big East next July. Instead, the Big 12 went public with its interest in TCU last week and set the stage for the private university to stay closer to home. It officially joins the Big 12 on July 1. Del Conte said TCU will not be required to give the 27 months’ notice to leave the Big East but must pay the exit fee. He declined to confirm if it was the $5 million required by Big East policy. Several Big 12 coaches said having TCU in the league would be great. “I’ve always thought that if we had teams that exited or departed our league that TCU would be a great addition, with the market right there,” Oklahoma State coach Mike Gundy said. “They have competed and won as many games in football as just about anybody in the country in the last three or four years. It won’t be an easy opponent for us to have to play them, and they’re obviously sitting right there in a very valuable recruiting market.” Also Monday, Big East school leaders authorized the conference to add enough members to have 12 teams for football. With Syracuse and Pittsburgh leaving for the Atlantic Coast Conference, the Big East would be down to six football schools without TCU: West Virginia, Louisville, Cincinnati, South Florida, Rutgers and Connecticut. SEC leaders also met Monday for their regularly scheduled fall session but took no action on expansion. The league will have 13 members once Texas A&M joins in July, leading to speculation about whether Missouri or other schools will be added to balance things out. ___ AP Sports Writers Jeff Latzke in Stillwater, Okla., and Dave Skretta in Kansas City, Mo., contributed to this report. Browns’ Benard hurt in motorcycle crash BEREA, Ohio (AP) — On the first day back from their bye week, the Cleveland Browns suffered an injury that could have been so much worse. Defensive end Marcus Benard broke his hand in a motorcycle accident Monday shortly after the team’s practice ended. Team spokesman Neal Gulkis said Benard is “alert, stable and resting comfortably” at the Cleveland Clinic. Benard will spend the night in the hospital and is scheduled to undergo more tests and evaluation. There is no timetable on his release. The 26-year-old Benard crashed his motorcycle on Interstate-71 about 90 minutes after the Browns wrapped up their first practice in preparation for Sunday’s game in Oakland. Benard, a backup who has played in all four games this season, likely will miss significant time and may have to go on injured reserve. But it appears he was lucky to avoid a more serious injury. Police are still investigating Benard’s crash. It’s not yet known if any other vehicles were involved in the accident. As they returned from a week of rest and review, the Browns (2-2) practiced without two starters: top cornerback Joe Haden and Pro Bowl center Alex Mack. Haden, who has played at a Pro Bowl level through four games, sprained his left knee last week against Tennessee. Shurmur said the team decided to have Haden stay inside to rehab his injury. Mack was on the field with his teammates but only as a spectator after undergoing an appendectomy last week. Shurmur wouldn’t speculate if Haden or Mack would be able to play this week. “It’s too early to tell,” he said. Losing Haden or Mack for any period of time would be a major blow to the Browns. They are two of Cleveland’s best and most indispensable players. Backup Steve Vallos filled in for Mack with Cleveland’s first-team offense. Nickel back Dimitri Patterson was in Haden’s corner spot opposite Sheldon Brown. Benard was initially taken to MetroHealth Medical Center following his crash. He was able to speak on the phone with trainer Joe Sheehan, who joined him at the hospital. Benard overcame long odds to make it to the NFL. He was signed by the Browns as an undrafted free agent in 2009. He spent the first nine weeks of the season on the practice squad before being signed to the active roster. In a December game, he sacked Ben Roethlisberger twice as Cleveland upset Pittsburgh. Last year, Benard led the Browns with 7 sacks. In November, he was briefly hospitalized after fainting in the locker room before a practice. Benard underwent tests, which ruled out any heart problems or other major medical conditions. He later said the episode was related to stress caused by the impending birth of his son. Unfortunately, the Browns have a history with motorcycle accidents during the season. In 2004, tight end Kellen Winslow sustained near-fatal injuries when he crashed his motorcycle while doing tricks in a parking lot near his home. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
