Sheriff: BCI leading investigation into shot fired at judge’s home

By Brian J. reedBReed@mydailysentinel.com

POMEROY — The Ohio Bu-reau of Criminal Identification and Investigation has confirmed it is investigating a gunshot fired at the home of a county judge.

The BCI’s spokesman said

the agency processed the crime scene at the Syracuse residence of Common Pleas Court Judge Fred W. Crow III last week, af-ter Crow reported someone had fired a shot through a window at his home. The judge was not at home at the time, but investiga-tors say it may have been an at-tempt to harm him.

Sheriff Robert Beegle said Tuesday the investigation into the case is ongoing, but declined to comment on whether any sus-pects had been identified. The shooting allegedly took place on Sept. 17, according to Beegle, while Crow was attending a foot-ball game out of town.

Beegle said the BCI is lead-

ing the investigation into the matter. Often, investigation of suspected crime is turned over to the state’s lead investigative agency because Beegle’s office is not sufficiently staffed to do so. Beegle said he had been giv-en no specific information into the findings of the investigation so far.

Southern school nurse named Community ChampionRACINE – Molina

Healthcare of Ohio, Inc. has named Racine resident Junie Maynard as its Com-munity Champions Award winner in the Education cat-egory. Maynard was recog-nized, along with six other individuals from across the state, for being one of the unsung heroes who works behind the scenes to make Ohio a better place. The third annual Molina Health-care of Ohio Community Champions Awards Gala took place recently in Co-lumbus.

Maynard serves as the school nurse for Southern Local School District, but she goes above and beyond her job description. When she saw the lack of health care facilities in Meigs County, she took matters into her own hands; working to get her nurse practitioner license and then starting a school based health clinic at Southern Local.

Death NoticeJeanette Pinkerton

Jeanette M. Pinkerton, 62, of Coolville, died Mon-day, Oct. 3, 2011, at Cam-den-Clark Memorial Hospi-tal, Parkersburg, W.Va.

Funeral services will be held at 11 a.m. Thursday, Oct. 6, 2011, at White-Schwarzel Funeral Home, Coolville, with Rev. Charles Martindale officiating. Buri-al will be in the Weatherby Cemetery. Friends may call 6-8 p.m. at the funeral home.

helped to offset early nest failures, but hunters will likely find fewer turkeys this fall. Brood production in two of the last three years (2009 and 2011) has been the lowest on re-cord.”

Hunters harvested 1,425 wild turkeys during last year’s fall season. Reynolds added that Ohio’s current wild tur-key population is approximately 180,000. He anticipates as many as 15,000 people, not counting private landowners hunting on their own property, will enjoy Ohio’s fall wild turkey season.

Only one turkey of either sex may be taken during the entire fall season. A Fall Turkey Hunting Permit is required. Hours are one-half hour before sunrise to sunset. Shotguns using shot, crossbows, and longbows are permitted. Hunt-ing turkeys over bait is prohibited. Turkeys must be checked by 11:30 p.m. on the day the bird is shot.

All hunters must still report their harvest of turkeys, but they are no longer required to take their turkey to a check station for physical inspection. Hunters will have three options to complete the automated game check: online at www.wildohio.com, by telephone at 877-TAGITOH, and at license agents locally.

Game-check transactions will be available online and by telephone seven days a week and during holidays. Land-owner hunters who are not required to purchase a fall turkey permit must use the Internet or any license agent to check their turkey. Hunters who tag their turkey as a landowner harvest cannot use the phone-in method. All authorized li-cense sales agents will also check in your game

The ODNR Division of Wildlife advises turkey hunters to wear hunter orange clothing when entering, leaving or moving through hunting areas in order to remain visible to others.

For the Record

WILMINGTON, Ohio (AP) — State lawmakers have joined an air-craft maintenance company in south-west Ohio to announce the addition of more than 250 jobs.

A spokesman for Ohio Gov. John Kasich (KAY’-sik) said Tuesday that the additional maintenance jobs at Airbourne Maintenance and En-gineering Services were helped by about $14.6 million in state money. The funds were awarded to the Clin-ton County Port Authority, which has invested roughly $15.7 million in bringing the new employees to Air-bourne Maintenance and keeping al-most 400 workers from leaving Ohio.

Spokesman Rob Nichols said the state was competing with Florida and Kentucky over the jobs. He said the jobs pay $22 per hour.

***Police probe death of

teen with cerebral palsy DAYTON, Ohio (AP) — A coro-

ner has ruled that a 14-year-old Ohio girl with cerebral palsy who weighed only 28 pounds died of nutritional and medical neglect complicated by her chronic illness.

The Dayton Daily News reports Tuesday that Montgomery County coroner’s official Ken Betz says the coroner ruled the girl’s March death a homicide.

Dayton police Sgt. Dan Mauch

(MOWK) says police believe one or more individuals were involved and are working with prosecutors on ap-propriate charges.

The newspaper reports the teen died minutes after medics rushed her to a hospital March 1.

Ann Stevens of the Montgomery County Department of Jobs & Family Services says Children’s Services has opened a case on the girl’s death.

***Man deported after Ohio arrest in Mexican slaying

TOLEDO, Ohio (AP) — U.S. au-thorities say a man arrested in Ohio has been deported to Mexico to face accusations that he beat another man to death over a bet on a professional boxing match.

The office of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement says 35-year-old Miguel Angel Ceja-Hernandez was flown Tuesday from Toledo to Laredo, Texas, escorted by U.S. agents to Nuevo Laredo, Mexico, and turned over to Mexican authorities.

U.S. authorities say a 2000 warrant issued in in Michoacan, Mexico, says Ceja-Hernandez struck the man in the abdomen with a lead pipe during a bar fight, causing internal injuries and bleeding that led to his death.

Ceja-Hernandez was arrested Sept. 21 at his home in Green in north-east Ohio.

A search of U.S. court records did not show an attorney for Ceja-Her-nandez.

20 Ohio counties get funds to help disabled vote

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Poll-ing sites in 20 counties will get perma-nent upgrades to assist Ohio voters with disabilities under newly released federal grant money.

Secretary of State Jon Husted said Tuesday that about $100,000 in grants will go to county boards of elections to improve access for voters with disabilities.

The funds were made available by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services through the Help America Vote Act.

Individual grant amounts range from $40 to $15,000 for improve-ments in 92 precincts.

Husted’s office says the perma-nent improvements can save local government money by preventing of-ficials from having to provide tempo-rary solutions for every election.

***Ex-judge in Ohio gets 5 years

in corruption probe AKRON, Ohio (AP) — A former

judge caught in a county corruption investigation in Ohio has been sen-tenced to five years and three months in prison.

Former Cuyahoga County Com-mon Pleas Judge Steven Terry was sentenced Tuesday in Akron federal court on his conviction for fixing a foreclosure case and doing campaign work with court employees on county time.

According to The (Cleveland)

Plain Dealer , Judge Sara Lioi said secretly taped conversations prove Terry was not truthful when he denied wrongdoing.

Terry resigned from the bench in Cleveland after a jury convicted him.

He was the second judge convict-ed in the three-year FBI investigation of county corruption in Cleveland. Former Judge Bridget McCafferty was sentenced to 14 months in prison for lying to the FBI.

***Ohio gov had urged Christie

to run for White House COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Ohio

Gov. John Kasich was among Repub-licans who had unsuccessfully urged New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie to en-ter the fray for the party’s 2012 presi-dential nomination.

Christie announced Tuesday he would not run for president, refusing to bow to pressure from GOP donors and other fans. The first-term Re-publican governor was wooed for his national star power and no-nonsense public persona.

The Columbus Dispatch reports in Tuesday’s editions that Kasich had called Christie to encourage him to run. Kasich spokesman Rob Nichols tells the newspaper the Ohio governor thought Christie would be a good can-didate.

The Dispatch reports Kasich had liked Mississippi Gov. Haley Barbo-ur as a presidential candidate, but Bar-bour also decided earlier this year not to pursue the Republican nomination.

Dear Dr. Brothers: I’ve recently started a new job as secretary for the church I have joined. I’m not shy but am afraid to open my mouth around my pastor, whom I work with daily. He and his wife are very sweet and never say any-thing stronger than “darn” or “heck,” while my vo-cabulary includes an occa-sional “damn” or “hell.” I don’t want to jeopardize my job or my parishioner sta-tus by offending them, but they have been commenting on how quiet I am. Any ad-vice? — S.C.

Dear S.C.: You seem to be completely intimidated by the culture at your new church, and I hope that you will give the job some time to see if you can get to know everyone a little better be-fore you decide that they are impossibly holier than thou! It seems that you have the best of intentions in trying to fit in and not offend any-one or do anything that will cause people to reject you, but you may need to lighten up a little and realize that all the people around you in this new environment are human too, and will err and forgive, along with the rest of us. On the other hand, let’s examine the worst-case scenario: You slip and come out with some mild expletives and are soundly put down by those around you. That might be hurt-ful and mortifying, but at the same time, it may give you some needed insight into what kind of place you have found yourself wor-shiping and working at. It just may be a poor fit, and in that case it would be bet-

ter to acknowledge it early on and perhaps find another job and another church in which you find yourself less likely to be judged for being you.

So, I would suggest giv-ing the new place and peo-ple a chance, letting them get to know you and then deciding if this is going to be a comfortable workplace and church for you. If your language turns out to be a problem, just realize that many people are going to be offended, but just as many are not.

* * *Dear Dr. Brothers: I

have been looking forward to moving to a new city with my family, but as the time draws near, I am beginning to worry about how my kids will ad-just to leaving their friends and the only home they have ever known. They are 8- and 10-year-old boys, and while they are excited about the new house and school, they have started whining and fighting more than usual. I am wondering how to make this easier on them. My hus-band and I are fine, but we are adults! — J.T.

Dear J.T.: I am sure you are fine, but it would not be unusual for everyone in the family — including the adults — to be a bit on edge when a big move is coming up. Perhaps you don’t real-ize it, but any tension you feel — even with just the day-to-day problems of get-ting organized for a move — can be reflected in your children’s attitudes and be-havior. The kids will pick up very easily on the emo-tions you are feeling, so try your best to be optimistic and upbeat in your dealings with them at this stressful time. Your husband also can add to the positive at-mosphere by talking with the kids about what they will all do together in the new city. That should help clear the air.

In the meantime, let your kids explore their new home in advance by sit-ting down with them and searching for kid-friendly activities on the Internet. There probably are loads of places to look online, and by the time you move, they will be able to have some specific things in mind that will make finding friends and things to do a lot more real to them. Remind them that they will always have each other as well as you and Dad, and that this is an adventure for the whole family to enjoy. Don’t be afraid to ask them if they have any special concerns, and take their fears and in-securities seriously. Luck-ily, the Internet will help them stay in touch with their old friends, too.

RIO GRANDE — The University of Rio Grande/Rio Grande Commu-nity College is looking for area resi-dents interested in playing a part in a new play about the legend of a Welsh explorer and his voyages to North America.

The original play, “Prince Madog,” will be presented at Rio Grande on November 11 and 12.

Auditions for the play will be held tonight, and area residents are encour-aged to try out for the production.

Auditions will be held this evening from 6-8 p.m. in the Berry Fine and Performing Arts Center on the Rio Grande campus. The cast will have 15-20 people in it, playing a wide range of roles. The play is not a mu-sical, and area residents do not have to have acting experience if they wish to audition. All they need to have is an interest in the play and a desire to be a part of the production.

The play will tell the story of Prince Madog. According to Welsh legend, Madog sailed to North Amer-

ica in 1170, more than 300 years before Christopher Columbus. The legend states that Madog landed in what is now Alabama and then re-turned to Wales to tell others about his adventure. He then persuaded oth-ers to return to North America with him, according to the legend.

The production tells the story of Madog’s journey and what happened ater his discovery.

Rio Grande Professor Jack Hart, Ph.D., wrote the new play.

“It’s a charming story,” said Lucy Hannah Thomas, who will be direct-ing the play. Thomas, who is from Wales, is currently serving as the Da-vis Intern for Rio Grande’s Madog Center for Welsh Studies.

The Madog Center, which is named after the legendary Welsh prince, is assisting with the produc-tion.

Greg Miller, Ph.D., director of cul-tural advancement at Rio Grande, is serving as the producer for the play. Miller explained the play tells the

fascinating story of Prince Madog in a simple and entertaining way.

“The characters in this story are very interesting,” Miller said. “It is going to be a very entertaining pro-duction.”

The characters include every-thing from Welsh royalty, to sailors, to townspeople, to pig farmers and even to an assassin. He added that the play will be appropriate for audience members of all ages.

“I think that area residents are really going to enjoy this play,” he said. Many people in the region have Welsh heritage and will be interested in learning more about the story of Prince Madog. Area residents without any Welsh background, though, will also greatly enjoy the play and may enjoy being a part of the production.

For more information on the Wednesday, October 5 auditions for “Prince Madog,” or for additional in-formation on the play, call Thomas or Miller at (740) 245-7145 or at 1-800-282-7201.

Last week, Apple Inc. e-mailed invitations to a me-dia event at its headquarters in Cupertino on Tuesday morning. The invite says “let’s talk iPhone,” imply-ing the secretive company intends to show off the latest version of the device.

The first iPhone came out in 2007, and the phone’s signature slick looks, high-resolution screen and in-tuitive software has gained millions of fans over the years. There were 39 mil-lion iPhones sold just be-tween January and the end of June.

Beyond the iPhone itself, the Tuesday event is antici-pated as Apple’s first major product unveiling in years that won’t be led by Steve Jobs, who resigned from the CeO post in August af-ter being out on indefinite medical leave since Janu-ary. The Apple co-founder is now its executive chair-

man. And though Jobs did emerge from medical leave twice this year to present Apple’s innovations — most recently in June to show off its new mobile software and iCloud content storage ser-vice — his successor, Tim Cook, is expected to take the lead this time.

Though not nearly as recognizable as Jobs, Cook, formerly Apple’s chief op-erating officer, has been running Apple since Janu-ary. For years, he has been in charge of Apple’s day-to-day operations, and he has long been seen as the natural successor. He also served as Apple’s leader for two months in 2004 while Jobs battled cancer and again for five-and-a-half months in 2009 when Jobs received a liver transplant.

Perhaps more important to Apple fans than who is presenting is what the company will reveal on Tuesday. A new iPhone is expected to have a number of changes, the biggest of which will likely be under the hood: the inclusion of Apple’s latest iOS mobile software, iOS 5, which has

been slated for release this fall.

IOS 5 will include things such as wireless device set-up and content syncing, and beefed-up camera, email and Web-browsing apps. A new service called iMessage will allow iOS 5 users to send text messages to each other over Wi-Fi or wire-less carriers’ data networks, while a folder called News-stand will corral newspaper and magazine app subscrip-tions in one place to make it easier to find them. When it comes out, the software will also be available for Apple’s iPad, iPhone 4 and 3GS and the two most re-cent generations of the iPod Touch.

A new iPhone is also ex-pected to include Apple’s forthcoming iCloud service, which will store content such as music, documents, apps and photos on Apple’s servers and let you access them wirelessly on numer-ous devices.

As for hardware, a new iPhone isn’t expected to look that much different from the iPhone 4, though it could be thinner and have a

bigger screen. The existing iPhone is 0.37 inches thick and has a display measuring 3.5 inches at the diagonal.

An improved rear camera is anticipated, too. The ex-isting iPhone has a 5-mega-pixel camera on its rear. A number of recently released smartphones have moved to 8-megapixel cameras.

One of the most notable hardware changes many industry watchers are pre-dicting is the inclusion of a more powerful chip: Apple’s dual-core A5 pro-cessor, which is the same chip it uses in its current iPad. The iPhone 4 runs on Apple’s older A4 chip, and the move to a more capable chip should improve things such as multitasking, open-ing apps and gaming.

Analysts also believe Apple could also use the event to trot out new iPods and updates to its iTunes music software, which it usually does in the fall anyway. Last September, Apple announced updates to iTunes and a line of re-vamped iPods, which in-cluded a version of the iPod Nano with a touch screen.

Just ask yourself, what would Ruth Reichl buy?

By Michele KayalFor the AssociAted Press

If Tom Colicchio was your neighbor you’d ask him which knife to buy, right? And you’d definitely ask your sister-in-law Do-rie Greenspan about her fa-vorite rolling pin.

And now you really can.Online retailers with

products selected by ex-perts and sometimes tai-lored — by you — to your specific interests are the new face of culinary mar-keting. Featuring celebrity “curators” like Colicchio and Greenspan and edito-rial superstars like Ruth Reichl, the sites aim to cut through the volume of online items and pioneer a new era of product en-dorsement and editorial content.

“Think of it like Face-book,” says John Caplan, founder of OpenSky, an online retailer where mem-bers “follow” their favorite celebrities to receive prod-uct recommendations and discounts. “On OpenSky, you choose the best people that are relevant to your passions and interests and they share fantastic items with you.”

Founded in April, Open-Sky already claims 500,000 members, Caplan says, and a 50 percent rate of re-turning buyers. Gilt Taste, launched just a month later, tows a less distinct line, merging high-quality editorial — led by Reichl, former editor-in-chief of the now-defunct Gourmet magazine — with sales of artisanal products.

Food magazines have always carried advertise-ments for stoves and re-frigerators and spaghetti sauce. And celebrities have always endorsed products with a swoop on their shirt

or a watch on their wrist. So what’s new?

“It’s not like just be-ing photographed wearing an item,” says Liz Lynch, senior specialist at the Burlington, Mass., digital marketing consultancy e-Dialog. “It comes across that this is something the celebrities themselves have discovered and now they’re sharing it with you. You identify more with that ce-lebrity. It brings them even closer.”

Caplan is quick to re-ject the idea that sites like OpenSky are the next in-carnation of celebrity en-dorsement. The curators at OpenSky are paid on com-mission, he says, sharing the profits from what they sell with the site. None of the celebrities are paid by the manufacturers.

“We buy goods from manufacturers and sell them to consumers,” he says. “There’s no other revenue in our business other than selling products to consumers. And it’s 100 percent transparent.”

And Reichl dismisses the notion that the cozy re-lationship between editori-al and product at Gilt Taste is a new version of “adver-torial,” advertising content presented as a story.

“You can’t pay us to sell your product,” she says. “If we sell it, we love it. And if we love it we’re happy to write about it.”

With some exceptions, very little of the editorial in Gilt Taste is directly related to the products they sell. A recipe will often be flanked by links to merchants who sell the ingredients. But only twice since launching have editors commissioned a story about a product, says features editor Francis Lam.

“In both instances, they were stories I would have

been proud to run if I were at Gourmet,” Lam says. “And I see a benefit of our business that we can help these producers we believe in, that we can help bring their product to market.”

But some critics say the structure of the website and its self-description as “a digital-magazine-catalog hybrid” present an inherent conflict.

“It’s almost a fig leaf,” says Christopher Hanson, a press critic and journalism professor at the University of Maryland. “It’s all qua-si-advertisement, even the stories. You might say ‘It’s obvious, what’s the big deal?’, but it’s a big deal to the extent that anyone relies on any of the stories. There’s the chance that they might not be getting the full skinny on stuff.”

OpenSky, on the other hand, offers “a twist on the old testimonial ad,” Hanson says. “That’s per-fectly transparent. A per-son wouldn’t be misled by that.”

Caplan insists that each curator at OpenSky is a “chief merchandizing of-ficer,” hand-selecting the items he or she will offer to followers. Cookbook author Greenspan says she takes pride in the items she features, and that the ven-ture is a natural outgrowth of communication with her famously loyal fans.

“I have things that I re-ally love, and people often on my blog will write and say, ‘What do you use for baking pans?’, ‘Where can I get’ whatever it is I show in a picture,” she says. “I would never have the time to actually find these products people are ask-ing me for. I’m not about to set up a little boutique in my kitchen. So it’s a great way to give readers what they’ve been asking for.”

Wild market ride is driving people out of stocksBy Matthew craft

AP Business Writer

NEW YORK (AP) — Just how turbulent is the stock market? More than half a trillion dollars in pa-per gains were made and lost within just two weeks in September. The S&P 500 jumped 5 percent in the week ending Sep. 16, the second best week this year. The next week it plunged 6 percent, the sec-ond worst week this year.

The wild swings have made many wary of put-ting money in the stock market. “It’s like an el-evator with only two buttons,” said Jeffrey Sica, president of Sica Wealth Management. “If you see one button says ‘surge’ and the other says ‘plunge,’ you’re not going to get on the elevator.”

In market-speak, it’s called volatility: Large jumps followed by deep dives, within the course of a week or sometimes the same day. The surge in volatility since early August has been blamed for preventing compa-nies from going public and scaring people out of stocks. Some think that even if Europe resolves its debt crisis, large price swings are here to stay.

In August, many put part of the blame for that month’s volatility on the summer vacation season. Come September, they said, more people will be at their desks buy-ing and selling, making it harder for large orders to rattle the market when trading volumes are thin. That turned out to be half right: Trading volume has picked up since Labor Day, but the stock market looks far from calm.

“What was wrong with the vacation idea is that

Europe didn’t get any bet-ter when people got back to work,” said Nick Co-las, chief market strate-gist at BNY ConvergEx Group. “People are still focused on the same clear and present dangers.”

To get an idea how volatile the market has been, consider:

— The Dow Jones industrial average has gained or lost more than 200 points in a trading day 16 times since the start of August. Six of those days came in Sep-tember. In the first seven months of the year, that happened just four times.

— The long-term trend is toward more volatility. Judging by the number of times in a year the S&P 500 swung 2 percent or more in a single day, markets are much more likely to have large leaps up or dives down, ac-cording to S&P’s equity research group. Swings of 2 percent occurred an average of five times a year from 1950 to 1999. It’s already happened 20 times this year, with three months left to go.

The heavy turbulence that started in August is the main reason why no company has managed to pull off an initial public offering since the Chinese online video website To-dou Holdings went public Aug. 16. The backlog of companies waiting to de-but in an IPO has never been larger.

“All the volatility has made for an unfavor-able IPO environment,” said Claude Courbois, managing economist at Nasdaq OMX’s research department. “An IPO is your coming out party, a chance to tell your story. You don’t want an enor-mous amount of uncer-

tainty surrounding it.”Analysts say it’s also

the chief reason Ameri-cans are fleeing the stock market as if it’s 2008 all over again. Retail inves-tors pulled $36 billion out of U.S. stock funds in August, according to preliminary data from the Investment Company In-stitute. That’s second only to the $47 billion with-drawn from U.S. stock funds at the height of the financial crisis in October 2008.

“The swings them-selves have eroded the confidence of investors,” said Jeff Kleintop, chief market strategist at LPL Financial. “It’s the sign of a market and an economy not on sound footing.”

Sica, the wealth man-ager, told his clients to leave no more than 10 percent of their savings in stocks at the end of May on the belief that markets would slide as the Fed-eral Reserve’s efforts to help the economy came to an end in June. The stock market’s drop since then has failed to lure Sica and his clients back in. In fact, he’s told his clients to get the rest of their money out.

In the past, a rally like the 5 percent one in the week ending Sep. 16 would be enough to cause Sica’s phone to ring with calls from clients wanting to shift more money into stocks. “They’d have the sense their missing out on something,” Sica said. In recent weeks, stock market surges are followed by cli-ents calling to say “‘Please keep me out,’” he said.

“This is the first time in 20 years that I’m totally out of stocks, unfortunate-ly. Just because something declines, it doesn’t mean it will ever come back.”

Today’s Answers

HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Wednesday, Oct. 5, 2011:

This year, you juggle a relaxed, let-it-be attitude with a need to break free from the status quo. No one really likes change, and you are no exception. Once you get going, you could be difficult to contain. You will tend to go overboard. Knowing when to call it quits could be more important than you realize. If you are single, the unexpected defines your meeting with a very special person. Excitement always will surround this relationship. This person could go in and out of your life, perhaps because of his or her work. If you are attached, the two of you might find spontaneity playing a bigger role in your life. You’ll revitalize your bond with this energy. AQUARIUS always is fun to be around.

Others continue to dominate in a manner that might sur-prise you. If you know what you want, you might want to make a sugges-tion in that direction. At a later point, you can do exactly what you desire. Tonight: Go for it!LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)

Notice what is going on around you this morning. Be willing to forge ahead in a new direction. You’ll feel much better on this new course, though there is an element of

insecurity and excitement. Trust your instincts. Tonight: Defer to a loved one.VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

Plug some of that good spirit into your morning activities. This afternoon, you become far more somber and serious. You have the capacity to get a lot done, and quickly at that. Make extra time for yourself. Tonight: You’re focused on the matter at hand.LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

Focus on your personal priorities in the morning. Once you clear your head, you’ll be able to concentrate with greater ease. Others appreciate your lightness, wit and ability to make them feel better, even in the work arena. Tonight: Try some-thing frisky.SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

Keep communicating the bottom line this morning. Someone will get it. Complete all your interper-sonal dealings by noon, if possible. You will need to pull back in the afternoon, perhaps to do research or just to handle an issue. Tonight: Your home is your castle.SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

You might want to con-tinue down a certain path, but it is clear that you need to rethink your finances. An extravagant tendency emerges. Go with creativity and an unusual idea. Tonight: A midweek get-together.CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

Use the morning to the max. Someone approaches you, expressing his or her authentic feel-ings. You can hardly be anything but flattered. In this mood, you decide to let go of patterns, and indulge and treat others. Tonight: Enjoy going out. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

Move through the morning with discretion. Your energy soars as your charisma magnetizes others. Decide to do only what you want and what is important. You’ll find that oth-ers’ responses could be surprising. Tonight: Go full speed ahead.PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)

Listen to news that comes through a friend or a meeting. Your first reaction might not be your final one. You will be going through many different perspectives as you try to reframe what is happening. Tonight: Play it low-key.

Mattia, Wilson top Rio’s efforts in All-Ohio

Rio GRande SpoRtS infoRmation

CEDARVILLE, Ohio – Cassie Mattia and Nick Wilson provided the University of Rio Grande its top finishes in Friday’s All-Ohio Intercollegiate Cross Country Champi-onships at Cedarville University.

The RedStorm only had three runners in each division and did not have a team score.

Mattia, a senior from West Chester, Ohio, finished the women’s 5K course in a time of 19:38.36, which was 103rd overall and 20th among runners in the Division II/NAIA portion of the field.

Wilson, a junior from Barlow, Ohio, completed the men’s 8K course in 26:31.56, which was good enough for 77th overall and 26th among DII/NAIA runners.

Freshman Samantha Barnes was 125th overall and 28th among DII/NAIA women with a time of 19:55.82, while freshman Brittany Piccone was 60th in the DII/NAIA field and 242nd overall in a time of 21:43.32.

Senior Matt Spencer was 79th overall and 27th among DII/NAIA men by finishing in 26:32.03, while freshman Dustin Moritz was 60th among DII/NAIA runners and 231st overall with a finish of 28:56.88.

Cincinnati won the men’s overall team crown, with Kent State and Akron completing the top three. UC’s Eric Finan had the best individual time of 24:44.49.

Miami took the overall women’s team title, with Dayton finishing second and Ohio University taking third. OU’s Juli Accurso had the top individual time of the day among female runners, posting a finish of 17:55.38.

Rio Grande returns to action in the Fall Classic on Oc-tober 14.

URG volleyball drops pair of MSC matches

Rio GRande SpoRtS infoRmation

RIO GRANDE, Ohio — The University of Rio Grande volleyball team saw its losing streak stretch to three straight following a pair of Mid-South Conference setbacks over the weekend.

The RedStorm dropped a 3-2 decision to the University of the Cumberlands (22-25, 25-21, 23-25, 25-20, 15-8) on Saturday after suffering a 3-2 loss (19-25, 19-25, 25-17, 25-18, 15-11) at St. Catharine College on Friday night.

Rio Grande slipped to 10-9 overall and 3-3 in the MSC with the losses.

Junior outside hitter Whitney Smith led URG in Satur-day’s defeat with 18 kills and 18 digs, while junior libero Lauren Raines added a team-high 21 digs and sophomore Kayla Landaker was credited with 42 assists.

Sophomore defensive specialist Nicole Ogg chipped in with 16 digs and junior middle blocker Erin Sherman had 12 kills.

In Friday night’s opener to the two-game road swing, Smith backed up a team-high 19 kills with 15 digs and Lan-daker had a season-high 43 assists to go along with 10 kills of her own. Sherman added 10 kills and two blocks in the loss, while Raines led URG with 21 digs and Ogg had a pair of service aces.

Rio Grande returns to action Friday and Saturday in a roun-robin tournament at Malone University. The Red-Storm will face Ashford University at 5 p.m. and tourney host Malone at 7 p.m. on Friday, before closing out the event against Ursuline College at noon and Bluefield Col-lege at 2 p.m on Saturday.

Lindsey Wilson edges RedStorm in overtimeBy Randy payton

Rio GRande SpoRtS infoRmation

RIO GRANDE, Ohio — Saturday night’s highly-anticipated men’s soc-cer showdown between the University of Rio Grande and Lindsey Wilson College certainly lived up to its bill-ing.

Eddy Campbell’s goal just un-der two minutes into overtime lifted the fourth-ranked Blue Raiders to a 3-2 Mid-South Conference win over the third-ranked RedStorm at a cold, damp Evan E. Davis Field.

Lindsey Wilson, which entered the game ranked No. 3 in the first Modi-fied Ratings Percentage Index (MRPI) released Wednesday, improved to 7-0 overall and 3-0 in the MSC with the victory.

“Every time we’ve played them since they came into the conference, it’s been tight,” said Lindsey Wilson head coach Ray Wells. “Tonight was the fourth time we’ve played and two of the games have gone to overtime. I think the others were 2-0 and 2-1 games, so you expect it to be close. And the home team has never won - how do you explain that?”

Campbell’s goal, with the aid of an assist from teammate Lebogang Mo-loto, came 1:41 into the extra session and allowed the Blue Raiders to re-main perfect after failing to maintain an early 2-0 lead.

“A fair result would’ve been a tie, but Eddy has good speed and he got into a one-on-one with the goalie early in the overtime. Fortunately, he got their first,” Wells said. “I’m es-tatic about getting the win. Rio has a great program and they did a good job

to come back, but I’m proud of our guys.”

Rio Grande, which slipped to 7-1 overall and 1-1 in the MSC, forced the overtime when Richard Isberner — the reigning MSC Offensive Player of the Week and one of five players tied for the national lead in goals per game average (1.71) - scored on a rebound of his own miss with just 7:49 remain-ing in regulation to erase the early two -goal deficit.

“I’m proud of our guys for the way they fought back,” said Rio Grande head coach Scott Morrissey. “The one thing I’m disappointed in is that, for the first 20 or 25 minutes of the game, we didn’t show up. I don’t know why, but we didn’t - and we put ourselves in a hole. I thought we had a good grip on the game after that. We showed a lot of character the rest of the way, we just came up a little short at the end.”

Samuel Asante gave the Blue Raiders a 1-0 lead just 10:09 into the contest, scoring off the rebound of a shot by Campbell that was knocked away by URG junior goalkeeper Jack Marchant.

Campbell extended the lead to 2-0 just over 13 minutes later, fighting off contact from Rio’s Oliver Hewitt- Fisher for a nifty left-footed shot that slipped past Marchant and into the net.

“We had two costly mistakes de-fensively in the first half and they scored both times,” Morrissey said. “It all came down to our defensive shape and the frustrating thing is that’s ex-actly what we worked on for the past week.”

“I thought we played well, particu-larly early, and put the pressure on them,” said Wells. “But they turned the tables and did the same thing to us

in the last 20 minutes.”The RedStorm’s road back began at

the 29:35 mark of the first half when Neil Harries blistered a shot past Lind-sey Wilson keeper Yuta Nomura after a direct kick by teammate Joel Thies-sen to make it 2-1.

Rio Grande had numerous other scoring chances in the first half but were turned away by Nomura, who re-corded five of his seven saves prior to the intermission.

“We had opportunities, we just didn’t finish the chances that we had,” Morrissey said.

The Blue Raiders had a chance to ice the game away with 17:11 left in regulation, but Moloto was denied on a penalty kick thanks to a diving save by Marchant, last week’s MSC Defensive Player of the Week. The junior keeper finished the night with five stops.

The game was equally even in terms of shots - Rio had 15 to Lind-sey’s 14. Each team had eight shots on goal.

“Now it’s up to us to make sure that we take care of business the rest of the way and maybe we’ll get another shot at them in the conference tourna-ment,” Morrissey said. “I know our guys would like that.”

Wells and his players expect to see the RedStorm again.

“There’s always a chance we could play each other again two more times - in the conference tournament and in the national tournament,” he said. “Now that we’ve seen each other, we know what works on what doesn’t. I’m sure Scott and his guys, just like us, will try to build on that. The great thing about playing them is that you always have to be on your toes.”

Lady ‘Cats sweep Covenant Christian

By Bryan Waltersbwalters@mydailytribune.com

B A R B O U R S V I L L E , W.Va. —The Hannan vol-leyball team claimed a sea-son sweep of host Covenant Christian Monday night dur-ing a 25-16, 25-16, 25-12 victory in a non-conference matchup in Cabell County.

The visiting Lady ‘Cats (5-10) snapped a two-match losing skid by winning their third match in their last five outings, one of which came against CCS one week ago in Ashton. Hannan posted a 3-games-to-1 win on Sept. 26 over Covenant Christian to earn its first season sweep of an opponent.

Heather Ellis led the guests with 15 service points, followed by Samantha Blain with 12 and Katie Ellis with nine points. Tiffany Adkins added seven points and Jazi Casto contributed four points, while Jasmine Wiese and Jes-sica Cornell rounded things out with two points each.

Blain led Hannan with nine service aces, followed by Heather Ellis with eight aces and Katie Ellis with six aces. Adkins and Casto respective-ly contributed three and two aces, while Cornell added one ace to the winning cause.

Blain recorded both of Hannan’s kills in the contest. Heather Ellis led the guests with three digs, while Katie Ellis led the passing attack with 10 sets.

Lady Marauders top Jackson in fiveBy Bryan Walters

bwalters@mydailytribune.com

ROCKSPRINGS, Ohio — The Meigs volleyball team, like a nov-ice fisherman, almost let a big one get away Monday night, but the host Lady Marauders ultimately reeled in hard-fought a 25-19, 25-17, 23-25, 15-25, 15-8 victory over Jackson during a non-conference

matchup at Larry R. Morrison Gymnasium.

Meigs (7-8) stormed out to a 2-0 lead in the match and were in a po-sition to sweep the Ironladies (11-7) in Game 3, but the guests squeaked out a two-point win. Jackson rode that momentum into Game 4, post-ing the only double-digit win of the night for a decisive fifth game.

Down the stretch, however, the Lady Marauders’ net attack proved

to be too much for JHS to handle, as the hosts pounded out a seven-point decision and the overall vic-tory.

Meigs finished the night 93-of-101 at the service line and also pro-duced team tallies of 65 kills, 60 as-sists and six blocks in the triumph.

Both Alison Brown and Chey-enne Beaver led the hosts with 10 service points apiece, followed by Tori Wolfe with eight points. Em-

alee Glass and Tanisha McKinney each had six points, Mercadies George added five points and Chan-dra Mattox contributed four points.

George led the net attack with 21 kills, followed by Brown with 19 kills and Emily Kinnan with 18 kills. Olivia Cremeans added four kills, Brook Andrus had two kills and Marlee Hoffman chipped in one kill nd a team-high four blocks. Glass had 52 assists in the triumph.

Lady Eagles sweep South GalliaBy Bryan Walters

bwalters@mydailytribune.com

MERCERVILLE, Ohio —Two for the price of one.

The Eastern volleyball team re-mained unbeaten and also claimed a season sweep of host South Gal-lia Monday night following a 25-14, 25-21, 25-13 victory in a Tri-Val-ley Conference Hocking Division matchup in Gallia County.

The Lady Eagles (17-0, 11-0 TVC Hocking) maintained their sole perch atop the league standings, win-ning their second straight match in straight games. Eastern, currently ranked ninth in the Division IV coaches poll, has also won 48 of the 51 games they have participated in this season.

The Lady Rebels (14-4, 8-4), on the other hand, dropped their second straight league decision after losing a heartbreaking five-game match at Trimble last week. SGHS also lost at Eastern by a 25-13, 25-15, 25-20 count back on Sept. 6.

Eastern stormed out to a 7-0 lead in the opening game before going on to a 11-point Game 1 win, but the

hosts kept pace in Game 2 — as the contest was tied late at 19-all. The guests went on to score six of the next eight points for a four-point win and a 2-0 lead in the match.

Like the opening game, Brenna Holter served EHS out to a sizable lead early in Game 3 — recording five aces en route to an 11-0 advan-tage. SGHS rallied back to within 22-12, but never came closer the rest of the way in the 12-point finale.

Holter led the Lady Eagles with 20 service points and seven aces, followed by Jamie Swatzel with 14 points and one ace. Brooke John-son added four points, Ally Hendrix chipped in three points and Baylee Collins contributed two points and one ace. Gabby Hendrix also had one service point for the victors.

Swatzel led the EHS net attack with 11 kills, followed by Maddie Rigsby with 10 kills. Holter and Erin Swatzel each added five kills, while Jordan Parker contributed three kills and a team-best five blocks.

Gabby Hendrix had two kills, while Johnson, Ally Hendrix and Kiki Osborne all added one kill apiece. Rigsby and Jamie Swatzel

each contributed two blocks to the winning cause, while Erin Swatzel, Gabby Hendrix and Ally Hendrix added one block apiece.

Ally Hendrix led the guests with 28 assists, followed by Gabby Hen-drix with 12 assists.

Meghan Caldwell led the Lady Rebels with seven service points, followed by Tori Duncan with five points and Ellie Bostic with three points. Chrissy Howell and Chan-dra Canaday contributed two points apiece, with Lauren Saunders and Sara Bailey each adding one point.

Caldwell led the net attack with 11 kills and eight blocks, followed by Canaday with six kills and four blocks. Brynn Adams contributed five kills and five blocks. Shelby Merry added three kills and three blocks, while Bostic had one kill and five blocks.

Duncan had a team-high 27 as-sists and Howell added a team-best 14 digs, while Caldwell and Canaday contributed 10 and nine digs, respec-tively.

The Lady Eagles claimed an eve-ning sweep with a 25-20, 25-20 vic-tory in the junior varsity contest.

Georgetown edges URG women’s

soccer, 2-1By randy Payton

special to oVp

RIO GRANDE, Ohio — Becca Dietrich scored off a direct kick with 4:35 left to play, lifting Georgetown College to a hard-fought 2-1 win over the University of Rio Grande Monday night in women’s soccer action.

Dietrich’s goal from the right win came after a foul was whistled against the RedStorm and put the Tigers in front to stay.

Georgetown improved to 5-3-2 overall and 3-0 in the Mid-South Conference with the vic-tory. The Tigers held a commanding 11-1 edge in shots in the opening half, yet the game re-mained scoreless at the break.

That changed just 37 seconds into the second half when GC’s Alex Harbowy scored from 12 yards out off of a crossing pass by teammate Taylor Fiest to make it 1-0.

Rio Grande (4-7, 1-3) tied the game at the 55:04 mark when junior defender Vanessa Montgomery lofted a shot over Georgetown goalkeeper Cathie Shaver from 18 yards out, following a direct kick by junior midfielder Katelyn Fuller.

The score remained knotted for nearly 30-plus minutes and the game appeared headed to overtime before Dietrich pushed her shot past URG freshman keeper Allison Keeney for what proved to be the game-winner.

Georgetown finished with a 22-3 edge in shots, 14 of which were on goal. Keeney fin-ished with 11 saves in the loss for the RedStorm.

Rio Grande returns to action at home, next Monday, against the University of the Cumber-lands for a 5 p.m. kickoff.
